Il am a gold man. The Courier-Jour-
nal has been my polar star; but We were

Win what? !
Win a lot OF Offices?
What coed would that do us who are
not Oflice-seekers2
Does Democracy mean an organization
merely for offices?
Or does it mean an organization for
the advancement OF principles
II the latter. why should We want IL
TO win when II abandons the principles
which we believe TO be essential to the
welfare Of the country, and sets up In
stead principles which We believe would
be disastrous 10 the country?
The dominating desire now OF the man
who is a Democrat for principle rather
than a Democrat for office Is that The
organization which at Chicago captured
the Democratic name and repudiated. the
Democratic faith shall not win.-I .ouis-

An Old irishwoman, who has received
may benefits at the hands OF a benevo-
lent minister and his wife, l. SO shift
less that occasionally the large-heart-
ed couple lose all patience with her;
but she has such sensr of humor, and
such a beguiling tongue that she
never fails 10 amuse them and finally
to win them back.
AT one time when money WINS given
her to buy warm undcrclothing with.
she wasted IL upon large photograph
album. The minister spoke to her
with considerable severity, as did also
his wife, and for some time Bridget
received no calls from either OF them.
One afternoon, however. the minister
relcnted and stopped at Bridget's door
on his way TO sec sick woman.
"Shure, and it's mesilf that dreamed
about you last noight, Misther VIII
liams," said Bridget. with n beaminp
smile. "oidroamed that you and Missus
Williams came here to see me. md

You presented me wild pound of tay.

antly. said oil, .Misthcr williams Is
the wan that'll be giving me the coffee
