ors. We approve of the refusal of the
Pacific railroad funding bill, and de-
nounce the efforts OF the present Re-
publican congress TO enact a similar
measure,
PENSIONS.
Recognizing the just claims OF de-
serving union soldiers we heartily en-
dOrse the rule of the present commits
sloner of pensions that no names shall
be arbitrarily dropped from the pen
sion roll; and the fact Of enlistment
and service sh0nld be deemed con-
elusive evidence against disease and
disability before enlistment.
TERRITORIES.
We favor the admission of the ter
ritories of New Mexico, Arizona and
Oklahoma into the United States,
and we favor the early admission of
all the territories haying the neces-
sary population and resources to en-
title them to statehood, and while
they remain territories, we hold that
the officials appointed to administer
the government of any territory to-
gether with the District OF Columbia
and Alaska, should be bona fide resi-
dents OF the territory or district In
which the duties are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes In
home rule and that all public lands
OF the United States should be appro-
priated to the establishment OF free
homes for American citizens. We
recommend that the territory Of
Alaska be granted delegate in con-
gress, aud that the general land and
timber laws of the United States be
extended to said territory.
MONROE DOCTRINE.
The Monroe doctrine Is originally
declared and as interp reted by succeed
ing presidents, Is permanent part Of
the foreign policy OF the United
States, and must at all times DO main
tained'
g We extend our sympathy to the
people of Cuba in their heroic strug-
gle for liberty and independence.
THIRD TERM.
We are opposed to life tenure In the
public service. We favor appoint
ments based upon merit, fixed term OF
Office, and sach an administration OF
the civil service laws as will afford
equal opportunities to all citizens Of
ascertained fitness. We declare IL to
OC JiiI hNWAitbCu law VI bil0
established 10y custom and usage OF
one hundred years and sanctioned by
the examples Of the greatest and
wisest of those who founded and have
maintained our government, that no
man should be eligible for a third
term In the presidential office.
WATERWAYS.
The federal q 9ernment should care
for and improve the Mississippi river
and other great waterways OF the re-
public, so as To secure for the interior
states easy and cheap transportation
to tidewater. When any waterway OF
the republic is OF sufficient import
ance To demand aid Of the govern
ment such aid should be extended up
on definite plan OF continuous work
until permanent improvement Is
secured.
Conidlng In the Justice OF our cause
and the necessity OF It's success at the
polls, we submit the foregoing declar-
atlOns OF principles and purposes TO
the considerable Judgment OF the
American people. We invite the sup

and who desire TO have them made
effective through legislation for the
relief OF the people and the restoration

Lii Had His DOUBTS.

An amusing story of Lii Hung Chang
is told in official circles. Whether Or
not it is accurate in all particulars no
one seems to know, but the tale is as
follows: When John W. Foster and
Mrs. Foster were first in China, they
were handsomely entertained by the
viceroy, and a warm friendship sprang
up between the former American secre-
tary of state and the greatest man Of
the eastern world. Then, as now, Lii
Hung Chang was disposed to ask all
manner of questions, and at the first op-
portunity he asked Mrs. Foster if her
husband was not very great man and
very rich man in his own country.
Mrs. Foster replied, with becoming
modesty, that Mr.. Foster had held many
high official positions. He had been
minister to Spain, minister to Mexico,
minister to, Russia, a special envoy to
Spain, and, finally, the greatest honor
sbeing reserved for the last, secretary Of
state, next in the cabinet to the presi-
dent himself "But Mr.. Foster is not
wealthy. In fact, he is comparatively
poor man," Mrs. Foster frankly ex-
planned. Ii shook his head. '"You say

to Spain, special envoy to Spain and

Foster in the eye for moment, and

Contagious
Blood Poison.

in the jewe1ry business at 926 Penn
sy1vania Avenue, Washington City
where he is we'll and favorab1y known,
was victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
bafied the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In a recent letter he says: "About
four years ago I contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before was in terri

myself under treatment of two of the

A Barbario Dress.

While at Balmoral the ozar ON one
occasion is said to have appeared in
highland dress, out of compliment to
Queen Victoria, but his suit did not i'm
itate him. The queens affection for all
things that SAVIOR of highland life is
well known, and her sons and grand
sons habitually don the kilt when on
Deeside. Perhaps, next to the Prince Of
Wales, the most distinguished wearers
of it are the Marquis of Lorne and the
little Prince Alexander. 1t is said that
the Duke of York, while in Moscow last
summer to attend the czar's coronation,
appeared at semiofficial reception in
the costume of the highlanders and
thereby incurred imperial displeasure.
while the Muscovite journals spoke of it
as IAN immodest and barbario dress. "

A MAN FROM OHIO.

Mr.. Longley's mistake, the mistake
of his life, grew out Of his first mistake,
which was in ever coming to California.
He was agent for the Pacific Steamship
company prior to his occupying simi-
lar position in great lakes company.
He had never seen the ocean until he
came to Monterey. But he didn't think
much of it-not after the lakes. Of the
people he thought even less.
He used to go over to the telegraph
Office where Carpenter was, and there,
on pile of blue butter boxes, air his
mind pretty freely concerning "these
internal greasers. Longley wasn't a
bad fellow back in Ohio, but out here
he could not or would not shake into
place. He was going back, when he had
a stipulated sum saved, to marry the
prettiest girl in Ohio. Meantime he
chafed and fretted at his chain.
One of the first things he did had
gained him the i'll will of all the loung-
ers in the crooked little street. Benito,
years old, came running to him. Ev-
cry one adored Benito, for the Spanish
are baby lovers and not in the least
ashamed to show it-Benito, with lovely
crimson cheeks and great, velvety black
eyes. Dirty? Oh, so dirty, but also so
charming. Just as he reached the hom-
bre grande, he tumbled fat, and the
"great man" calmly put out his foot
and lifted Benito out Of the way on the
toe of his boot. They all saw that
Manuel, Francisco, the Moreno boys,
Jose Enron, all-for they were sitting in
front of Charley Rodriguez's saloon,
keeping a wary eye out for possible
whales in the bay. Benito ran bowling
to them, and the wound his vanity had
received was healed with candy and soft
words But it would have been we'll for
Mr.. Longley if that had never happened
The Spanish mamma is an excellent
matchmaker, and very seldom has any
old maids on her hands She takes ad-
vantage Of that contrary little twist in
a mans nature which makes him want
what is just out Of his reach. So Ysabel,
or Carmelita, or Dolores, as the case
may be, is sedulously guarded by the
mother, who makes certain that her
daughter is never alone with any young
man a moment. Mr.. Longley said often
he did not care pin for their customs.
He was from Ohio and brought his own
code of ethics and etiquette, which these
Rreasers were OBLIGED to trim to-not he
Democratic Northwest and Henry County news. [volume] (Napoleon, O. [Ohio]) 1894-1905, 1896-11-26

Yet he gave not an hour TO his grief.
Whatever was the inward conflict, no
human eye could pierce beneath the
iron mask of his features. He chase
nine trusty and well-armed men and
went to meet the mutineers. Two
canoes surrendered at once. The
third showed fight. Two of the vii
lains were killed. The remainder were
safely lodged in the dungeon of the
fort, to await the coming Of Count
Frontenac. La Salle's enemies used
the killing of the two mutineers as a
basis for charge of murder. =
when, at last, they drew near the
meadows on which had stood the
great village of the Illinois, with its
population of eight thousand souls,
their horror stricken gaze met scene
of utter desolation. Where once was
heard the busy hum of human life, no
sound, save their own footsteps, broke
silence as of the grave. The plain
was covered with heaps of ashes and
charred poles. Hundreds of human
bodies, hideous souvenirs of battles,
half-eaten by wolves and birds of
prey, filled the air with pollution.
With but one thought, La Sale
searched the blackened and bloody
field of death, with sleepless anxiety,
for traces of the fate of Tonty. That
the Iroquis had wrought the work of
ruin was clear. That Tonty had been
burned alive, or taken prisoner, he
thought he read in some charcoal
drawings on some Stakes. Taking
four men with HIM, La Sale pushed
on to Fort Crevecoeur. Hope was
dead in his breast, and dark despair
fioated on raven plume, like bird of
i'll omen, in ever.narrowing circles
above his dsuntless form.
'The fort was destroyed. On the
stocks stood the hull of the half fin
lshed vessel, with every nail and
spike withdrawn. In charcoal letters
La Sale read, Nous Sommes tous
souvages: ce Is $780, inscription by
the mutineers. Even here he found
bodies lashed to stakes and half con-
sumed by the torturing flames Down
the Illinois he foated, till he saw be-
fore his eyes the mighty river of the
Mississippi. 1t was the source and
object of all his vast ambitions and |
Incompatible efforts. But its charms
we're unheeded by his anxious eye.
No trace of Tonty could be found
