DEMOCRATS, STOP AND CONSIDER.

There are hundreds of good
Democrats who have unthinking>
~ co~operated with the men who
have now disclosed their real
purpose by putting forth a decoy
ticket. We beg these Democrats
TO resume their wonted places in
our party. There is going to be
a fierce battle fought between
this time and the night of No
vember 3rd, and the gold Demo-
Gratis certainly cannot desire to
shoot into the ranks where stand
their brothers and friends. Nor
can they wish to guide the enemy
into their brothers camp, or to
help lay a train to blow up their
brothers house. Nor can they
be Indifferent or unmoved spec
tators of the battle soon 10 be
joined between those they have
always hated. To all these we
say: Come back, we entreat you;
don't raise your hand against US
don't make it necessary that
we should raise ours against you.
You are of US; your true place is
with US. Come and make for
yourselves in this conflict an
honorable record.
Our party is the national Dem
ocratic party, and Bryan and
Sewall were nominated by the
National Democratic ticket,
therefore, is the national Demo-
cratic ticket, and is the only one
that can be so recognized by the
Secretary of the Commonwealth.
The Indianapolis party is in no.
sense Democratic. The people
did not elect the delegates which
formed it's State Convention, of
which it's national convention
was the creature. It is an att
tempt to deceive the public for
it to call itself Democratic, when
it's confessed purpose is to help
the Republicans aud down the
Democrats. Under these cir
Gums tances, it would better APP
pear upon the official ballot (if
there is to be any designation of
it at alp as the assistant Repub-
lican ticket, or as "the decoy
ticket" and we submit that
either name would better de-
scribe it than Democratic would.
The only man that you can coma
sistently vote for is Bryan. Me-
Kinley helped Sheridan devase
tate the South and was an advo-
cate of the force bill as long as
he was in Congress and never
has he recanted the opinions that
he then and there expressed.
Palmer was the oppressor Of
Kentucky whilst he was the
military commander there on the
Federal side. Moreover, he heads
what is VIGOROUSLY a decoy
ticket framed to trap unwary and
unsuspecting Democrats. So
come back where you belong,
shake off the influences which
are the soul and breath of the
boiling movement in North Cars
DINA and which are as sordid as
any that ever moved any set of
men to political action.

Tho Joke Was on the Bow.

"Assayers are the common butt in all
mining camps, and, as rule, believe
they get it in the neck undeservedly, ="
said well known mining man.
For example," said he, you re-
member that story of Mark Twain's,
how the boys up in Utah got hold of a
chunk Of a Mormon's grindstone and
worked it off on the camp assayer? He
got an assay of $500 to the ton in silver
out of that grindstone, and the boys ran
him out of camp. That was true story,
and yet, after these many years, let me
tell you that assayer was all right. You
see, in the early days the Mormons used
to cut their grindstones out of what aft
erward was known the world over as
Silver Cliff. That cliff was a sand car
Donate, and eventually it was discovered
to be one Of the most wonderful depos-
its of silver ore the world has ever
known. But that was too late to help

Now Looks Like Settlement.

Some of the Davenport papers are
disposed to make considerable TODD
over the hitch that has occurred be-
tween the Rock Island & Peoria rail-
way and the Davenport & Rock
leland Bridge and Terminal COM
pany, at the foot OF Seventh street
Both F. P. Blair, OF the Bridge COM
pany, and Vice President H. S.
Cable. OF the r. 1. & T., were seen
this morning and neither viewed the
situation as at all serious, while bot b
seemed confident that . complete ad.
justment of all misunderstanding
would be reached. The fact that
these officials held q conference later
in the day looking to that end,
strengthens the belief that every.
thing will be arranged satisfactorily.
The property owned by the Peoria
company outside its tracks was &C.
quired some years ago and it has al
ways been the idea of the com pany,
particularly since Mr.. Cable assumed
the management of the company

poses. That the switch construction
operations should have been pushed
at this time is due undou btedly to
existing circumstances, but tina,

The Law OF Growth.

Dr.. Charles Sedgewick Minot, pro-
fessor of histology and embryology in
the Harvard Medical school, backs up
his theory of the law of growth by the
results Of several years of observation
upon guinea pigs, dogs, rabbits, ferrets
and other small animals. as well as Bos-
ton school children. He says that in all
growing animal organisms from the
period Of birth to death there is a steady
less Of the power to grow, contrary to
the general belief that this loss begins
later in life. The body develops all the
time. but the power to keep mp that de-
velopment steadily decreases after birth,
and it decreases much more rapidly al
first than later in life A guinea pig
two days old will gain 10 per cent Of
Its weight i'll the next two days. Blu,
the twenty-fifth addition Of 10 per cent
TO its weight will take the pig IS days.
The law is the same with animals and
man.

WEATHER AND CROPS IN IOWA.

DIES MONIES, May 27.-Following is the
bulletin on Iowa weather and crops issued

First of the week was cool and cloudy;
last half warm, the mean temperature for

fall was generally light during the work

the surface low and fat. Cutworms are
numerous.
The excessive heat and moisture Of the
season has not been altogether favorable
to the best development of small grain
crops, especially in sections where the
rainfall has been heaviest. Oats and
spring wheat show tendency to become
too rank. and there are some reports of

A Soft Hearted Statesman.

The late Charles Floquet, who had
been at the head of the government of
the French republic in more than one
ministry, was q redoubtable fighter in
politics. His extreme benevolence was
sometimes taken advantage Of by his
subordinates.
Once, when prime minister, Floquet
had signed an order for the dismissal of
a functionary who did not properly per-
form his duties and could not be made
to do so. A friend of this functionary,
who had access to the minister and who
knew his characteristic in this respect,
said to NJ. Floquet about the man:
lyon could not do otherwise, Mr..
Minister, for the man is incorrigible.
But it's too bad he has eight children. {"
Eight childrenv' exclaimed Floquet

mans dismissal upon the table reflect

"But, Mr.. Minister, f" said the friend,
''you can hardly be governed by consid-
crations of benevolence in such a mat
ter
II suppose not. But eight children!
Eight children are a lot to take care of
in these times"
Floquet put the dismissal away in a
pigeonhole and said, with an air of
great severity:
Send this fellow to me tomorrow
The next day the troublesome official
came. M. Floquet gave him scolding
and said to him that he ought to be dis
charged, and that he certainly would be
but fer his eight children. This an.
nouncemeht was as good as an assurance
of perpetuity in Office to the lazy func-
tionary, for he certainly took no step to
reduce the number Of his children He
did no better i'll his work, but held his
place as long as NJ Floquet was in Of

COMPLIMENTS TO AMENr.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The Carroll Herald has the follow
ing words Of commiseration for
James E. Ament:
flames E. Ament occupies nearly
six pages Of . Rock Island newspa-
per in . statement in which he dis
cusses nearly everything from the
genesis Of creation to the almost
unanimous protest of the good peo-
pie OF Rock Island against his reten-
ton in their schools. He concludes
his Characteristic and extended screed
by handing in his resignation and
announcing his Withdrawal from the
teachers profession. In all kindness
this paper wishes to congratulate
Mr.. Ament on his wise conclusion.
He is untitled by temperament to pre-
eide over the schools Of any commu-
nifty. He graduated in 1892 after
years Of special preparation for the
work. Since then he has held three
positions. at North Bend, Carroll and
Rock Island, and at each place he has
had the came lamentable experience
The people did not appreciate his
unique ability, and arose against him
they would not let him alone. 1t
is sad to think that the cause of edu-
cation has suffered such q serious set
back, just as the century is drawing
to peaceful close. But Mr.. Ament
is not to blame; he cast his pearls be-
fore swine and they wallowed them
in the mud. Generations will suffer
this loss. and babes yet unborn will
dwell upon the possibilities of what
might have been, had this benighted
vale been lighted by his genius in
the field of education. The Herald
shall be pleased to note the success
of its good friend and ardent ad-
mirer in whatever field he may en-
ploy his luminous and scintillatinc
genius. But there is one cheerful
thought, withal; loss to the school
system Of this great nation will re-
suit in gain to some other calling.
Courage and hope, brethren; light
will come-in a magic lantern, per-
haps."
