A Lawsuit Three Hundred Years old.

The little community of Bures;nn IN
the Bavarian district of Lower Franconia
will shortly be able TO celebrate the not
oever-enviable tercentenary Jubilee of a
lawsuit. On the 2lst of June. 1866 this
community brought suit at the imperial
court, then sitting in Speyer, against the
Barons Won Thungen, concerning mag
nlhcent oak and beech forest of nearly 5000
be estimated worth about 9. 600 600 marks
and which both parties claim as their own.
1t speaks volumes for the indom table grit
OF these peasants, who, despite their pow
erty, through three long centuries, gener-
alton after generation, managed to put up
among themselves enough money to carry
on the suit, and who, in view OF recent
decree, may ultimately consider them
selves the beati possid entes. A final ses-

Of free coinage III the east But as
rule the people Of the west and south
favor the free coinage Of silver and the
people of the east are committed to the
gold standard.
There are no very distinct party prin-
ciples today. Parties are political ma
chimes, held together by self interest.
There are free coinage Democrats and
sound money Democrats; free coinage
Republicans and Republicans who be-
lieve in the gold standard. There are
Democrats who want incidental protec-
tion and Democrats who favor free trade;
and there are Republicans whose wild
views on the tariff question will match
those of their Democratic brethren.
1t is a singular condition Of affairs
when the Democratic party, with the
government at Washington in it's hands
and committed to the gold standard Of
currency, should be assembling appar-
emily for the purpose of declaring for the
free coinage of silver.
These things sometimes straighten
themselves out in convention. The two
wings Of a party often find an acceptable
compromise on great political question
something which appeases if it does
not satisfy both factions.
IF they do not? Then one of the wings
flaps all by itself perhaps while the 9th
er goes to serve another party. Blaine's
nomination cost the Republicans not
only the floating, changeable vote, but
the adherence Of a great many widely
known members Of their organization.
It is not an easy thing for man to
accept party platform which does not
agree with his convictions. That is
what great many men have had to do,
though, ever since parties came into
existence. Some men never can find
party whose principles are entirely sat
isfactory to them. The best they can do
is to take the most satisfactory Of them

A Hint to Bores,

Two gentlemen who were playing
cards at the Prince Of Wales club re-
Gently were very much annoyed by other
members who stood behind their chairs
and interested themselves in the game.
Finally one Of the players asked one Of
the spectators to play the hand for him
until he returned
The spectator took the cards, where
upon the first player left the room.
Pretty soon the second player followed
the example Of, the first. The two SUBJ
stitutes played for some time, when one
Of them asked the waiter where the two

There have been 16 national Demo
cratic conventions and none Of them
since the war has been fraught with
such serious possibilities as the one
which will assemble in Chicago on the
7th Of July.
The memorable Charleston convention
which adjourned to meet in Baltimore
was more important. On its decision
might have rested the stability Of the
Union. The crisis which the Democratic
party faces in 1895 is a question less Of
government than Of commercial prosper
ity. The silver problem whose decision
has been postponed for nearly quarter
Of century confronts the Democratic
party and demands final settlement
And the bitterness which the currency
campaign Of the last two months has
aroused seems to threaten the integrity
Of the party. ..
The lines Of the great political parties
have been changing gradually for good
many years. A sectional sentiment al
most as strong as that which once sepa-
rated north and south has come into be-
ing. The tariff reform Republican has
become a Mugwump and then Demo-
crat, and in many instances free trad
er. The free trade Democrat has been
converted to incidental protection. :"
The currency question has split tho
country on sectional rather than politi-
cal lines. To be sure there are "sound
money" men in the west and advocates

The last convention held in Chicago
met in q wigwam erected on the lake
shore-a great deal larger than the wig

met SO years ago. The news Of that con-

hand of a single telegraph operator The

but it had been shouted down by the
