BOSSES AT BAY.

Tom Plat owns New York, and Quay
the state Of Pennsylvania, but Plat
and Quay, backed by all New Eng
land can no longer boss the continent,
as the trend Of political schemes en-
tire now clearly indicate. Platt and
his lieutenant. Warner Miller, threaten
to secede with their state from the
Republican party should anything but
a solid gold platform be adopted at
st. Louis. If the national convention
at st. Louis adopts any such platform
il viii in thus Drawing the convictions
of the masses Of the people je0pardize
the chances for a victory in Novem-
Der, if not that of the life of the party
itself. Money is what the people want
first, and protection second, and peo-
pie constitute parties, especially do
they now that all Of the $1,000 federal
Offices save 80 have been transferred
out Of the hands of the bosses and into
the competitive lists Of civil service.
Those bosses, headed by Plat and
people Of their rights TO choose their
president, are at bay, bowling at Nc
Kinley, and threatening vengeance If
he should be nominated on the Ohio
platform at St Louis. These unscrup-
ulous plotters have reached the end
of their string and it lacks hundreds Of
delegates Of being long enough to en-
compass nomination, so in their rage
and discontinue they turn about and
make fools of themselves. These
would-be wreckers have had their day,
and along with the Tweeds Of the past,
and the Clevelands of the present, will
soon cease to be. Plat telegraphs
from Washington that ''the people
have made fools Of the politicians"
The politicians it is who have made
fools Of themselves. Their latest and
last attempt to buy up the negro dele
gates of the south, with the excuse put
into their mouths that they don't want
a second Hayes, will not work. Like
their other scheme of "fayorite sons"
it is doomed to fall of its on weight |
Within the last ten days eleven mil |
lions of gold have gone from the sub |
treasury in New York to Europe IN
der the gold-standard tariff reform |
policy Of the bosses. This reduces the |
reserve TO less than S114,000,0O0, so |
that it can confidently be expected that |
the government will be in the market |
again before the end of the year with |
another big batch of gold-bearing |
bonds for the New York syndicate.
This scheme cannot be permitted to
go on forever in the interest of the |
boSs-ring, which is but the gold-ring. |
The people in saving the party from
the bosses will save the country from
the rings. They propose to do both
by the nomination of Mckinley in ST
Louis next month. Ia, ia, Thomas,
and ia, Ia, Quay, and Grover, and all |
that syndicate ring of single scinchers

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY STARs7
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
 of Bird Migration.

of Bird Migration.
 In an article on Birds of Passage" the Chautauquan says if one desires an explanation for the great mystery of bird migration, there being nothing else that will answer, he will have to accept the theory of hereditary knowl- edge, a knowledge of the unfailing stars. The Great Bear and Orion ap- peared at the same time in our region, even when the divisions of land and water were very different than they are to-day. That the stars are the guides for birds agrees with the fact that they fly at remarkable heights, often above the clouds, and that wan derers lose their way when they stray into clouds and mlsts.
 On starlight nights struggling birds are seldom noticed. When the sky is overcast, when the night is dark, but especially when a fine rain is falling, multitudes of travelling birds are heard. Then they call often, doubtless for the purpose of keeping near each other; and often great numbers of them bound against the windows of light houses. Thus Gatke has observed that on October 2s, 1882, from ten o'clock at night till the next morning golden crested wrens bumped like snowfakes against the lighthouse of Heligoland, and that on the following day golden crested wrens sat on every square foot of Heligoland. Toward the end of the summer, along into the fall, it was not rare occur renee on dark nights to see, through the light of street lamps, birds flying over inland cities. The experienced observer recognizes by it's call the cur lew and the strand-snipe, sea-swallow and seagull, occasionally hears even | the flap of their wings. But no bird is visible in the darkness. On dark nights no stars appear; then it is that the stray ing bird loses his way. The stars are the most plausible guides to birds in their migrations. But only the future can tell us whether they really serve in that capacity.

GOOD TtEMPLARS.
Pertinent and Newsy Items for the
 Good of the Order

Tempe lodge will hold public meet ing on the evening of September IA, and win tbe assisted inl'the programme by Phoenix talent This lodge has numbered quite a good many Normal students in its membership heretofore. Eleven of the twelve graduates in 1894 were members aof the order, but in 1895 but four graduates were members, al- though a number of other students were connected with the order.
 Maricopa district lodge will meet in Phoenix on Saturday, September 5, at 2 p. m. This will be the regular an nual meeting, at which officers will be elected for the ensuing year. A committee was appointed by the local lodge on Monday night to provide en- tertainment for visiting delegates consisting of Mrs R. G. Phillips, Mrs. A. B. Levens, A. P. Walbridge, G. T. Switzer and Miss Lavina Andrews.
 Ten delegates were also elected to represent the lodge in district lodge.
 A few days since an item appeared in our city dailies telling of how a couple of young men got drunk and in driving recklessly through the streets drove over little child Intentionally They would not have thought of such a thing when sober. We get these young men into the lodge and keep them sober, and yet we are called cranks because we engage in and ad- vocate such work.
 During the summer four or five deaths have occurred from heat A leading physician told me the other day that every one was due to the use of alcoholic drinks A saloon keeper remarked a few days ago: "They cal it sunstroke, but it's nothing but whisky You never hear of a case o1 sunstroke here unless the victim has ! been drinking to excess" This is plain testimony. from a saloon keeper Yet people call us cranks and fanatics for advocating total abstinence ant sobriety.
