The Democratic Circus.
Chairman.

The southern aristocracy. the west
srn silverites, renegade republicans,
populists and genuine democrats are
thrown together in most amazing con-
fusion in Chicago today. Against the
che last-named are ranged all the 9TH
ers in an alliance that reminds one of
comic-opera chorus under the manip
ulations of a. hypnotist. The question
is how long viii the hypnotic influence
prevail.
That the idea for which the chorus is
cheering will triumph at the polls is
impossible. Look at the conditions.
Down at st. Louis the bolt" was out
another scene in the comic-opera bust
ness. Some two dozen representatives
of sand, rock, alkali and silver depart
ed with a flourish that might have been
sounded on boys whistle. Here one
third of the convention is sitting mood
lily aIoof, full of wrath and resentment.
1t sits in shame and humiliation to
think that the great party organization
to which it belongs should be snatched
away in what it considers to be
dance of madmen. However much in
telhgence there may be in the silver
propaganda, it is impossible not to re-
mark how it is condemned by the
stran0n difference in mental attitude of
the two sides. The parrot cry Of is to
is the burden of the silver song It
is shouted with the frenzy Of fanaticism
and the silver men are treated like
fanatics by their opponents, who. ex-
plain their exaggerated antics by say
ing that they are the victims of fever
which must run its course.
That such a cong lon9fAtion of men
and ideas can win in national election
seems impossible. ,Sffs #

GEORGE V. LEITCH AND HIS WORK.

A more enthusiastic worker in the cause of missions than George ". Leitch of Ceylon, would be hard to find, and those who were present at the Congregs- tlonal church on Sunday night were much impressed with the man and his story. MT Leitch gives his entire time to the cause without remuneration, and his sisters, the Misses Leitch, have also labored in the mission field without psy. They have done a wonderful work in Ceylon. It had been arranged that MT Leitch should lecture on Monday night, but he was obliged to change his plans. So he arrived on Saturday, and in order to advertise the lecture hired team and in the face of the biting wind of Satur- day drove all through Palestine, Taunton and Hawleyville distributing his circu- lars. The audience which gathered on Sunday night was large for the evening, and was the result of his work. The views shown were fine, and the lecture delivered in an of-hand way, held the close attention of everyone. After hear ing Mir Leiteh people understand why he succeeds so marvelously. His self-sacri- ficing life, his enthusiasm and his home ly but fascinating story are the keys that unlock the hearts and poeketbooks of all who come in contact with him.

PRAISE FOR coMRADE DORIAN.

At Gray's Plain, Saturday night, Janu-
 ary 4, John Doran repeated his lecture
 and gave us the accompanying pictures
 of his experience in the war and in Am
 dersonyille prison and other prisons. The
 revolting pictures, true to life, make one exclaim, with Cowper: sA &a. "Man's inhumanity to man. r-7s,N = Makes countless thousands mourn" sThe ''refned crueltiesn in those 'sheIIs
 of our civil war;" would make Bengal
 tiger blush. The nineteenth century as
 century of barbarism is little or no im-
 Provement upon a thousand centuries ago. The keeper of Andersonville prison
 was monster in comparison with Hay. nan, the brute to the Hungarians. The relentless Turks, the American Indians, the bitterest tortures of all people in an- cient history, never surpassed the crueI- ties of those men who laughed at the sut- ferings of those 35, 900 soldiers on 2s acres or ground in the stockades at Anderson vile. Oh, the horrors of warl Starya- tion, thirst, misery, miseryl Why cannot we appreciate the lines of the late Dr Holmes poem:
 While valor's naughty champions wait,
 HI all their scars are shown,
 Love walks unchalIenged through the gate
 To sit beside the thronew
 The truth of MT Doran's statements are historical and his earnestness in the re- eital makes him quite eloquent. His eomrade, the inimitable ''Eph Briscoe,n was "gobbled up" by Wheeler's cavalry in Sherman's march from Atlanta to the sea. Mir Doran weighed 67 pounds and Frisco less than that when they left An dersonyille prison. The Marching through Georgia" and many other ex- Quisite literary productions written through the war, were 8 most pleasing feature as sung by Comrade Briscoe &C., companied by his own guitar. His com ical rendering of witty songs and speeches was worth 8 quarter, "any.. mans money" We shall always try to : be present when these these two, now ''good looking" men, come around. CShiloh.

l A NEW YORK POLICEMAN. The talk of the Street on Saturday was
 the sensational story in the New Yorh
 dailies to the effect that Principal Will
 liam H. Hoyt of the Newtown Academy
 had been arrested on suspicion of being
 8 diamond thief had been discharged and that he would sue for false arrest. MT Hoyt returned from New York on Saturday evening, and when seen by a BEE reporter pronounced the stories in the New York papers as overdrawn.
 It seems that MT Hoyt was walking up Third avenue about 1 8. m., when he en- tered restaurant kept by MT LaTour, and stopped for lunch. As be entered he noticed policeman eyeing him, and saw him peerlng in through the window. When MT Hoyt went out, the policeman stepped up to him and laid his hand on MT Hoyt's shoulder. .-
 What do you mean," he asked the po- liceman, What have done that you should seize me?'
 "Oh, none of that" retorted the offic- ial, "What have you in that bundlet' p
 That is my own package,'' replied Mir Hoyt, "And you've got nothing to do with it.''s
 "We'll see about that," said the po- liceman. "Yeu are slick one. I am sorry for you, but I must see the con- tents of that package. You see my badge."
 Mir Hoyt refused to let him open the package there, but he said if they would walk around the corner to 8 restaurant on Third avenue, where he took his meals, the policeman could open it. The officer opened the package in the presence of the proprietor and several walters of the restaurant. The package contained a night shirt and a pair of heavy homemade socks.
 Mir LaTour, who had known MT Hoyt for several years, told the officer that he had made mistake, that Mir Hoyt was all right. The officer was profuse with | his apologies, and when asked by Mir Hoyt if he wanted anything more of him he replied promptly, 'No sir!"
 Mir Hoyt was surprised enough when he saw the story in the papers. He had related the incident to friend later on, who he supposed gave 1t to the New York World.

1t is rumorcd that some of the sub
scriptionS for the bonds of the overall
factory are not coming in as rapidly as
they might, and it is further reported
that some of the bond subscribers
are not over-pleased at the actions Of
those in charge. The bone of conten-
ton, it appears, is that part of the
Board of Trade has done too much
talking for the benefit of the town, -
and when given an opportunity to put
themselves on record and show how
much real interest they had in Freeland's
future, they confirmed all the suspicious
entertained by grinding personal axes,
The Board of Trade, as Il whole, is com
posed of the best and foremost of our
citizens, but if it wants to retain the
confidence Of the public radical change
of methods and less ucpotism among
some members is necessary.

saw the initial presentation of the new
play "IIer Brother Bob" at the New

issory note To do this they have been
obliged to turn their backs on a series of
decisions looking i'll the other direction,
and the result is that they have denied
us the right of levying tax of the most
democratic description, although it has
long been collected without question in
England and Germany.
Second. The second is the Hyattsville
case, decided in January, 1893, by the
supreme court of Maryland (Wells ver-
sus Hyattsville, n Md, 1850. In this
case the town Of Hyattsville had under
taken under an act of the legislature to
raise its taxes exclusively from land aft
er deducting the worth of improve
ments. 1t was, in fact, an experiment
in the direction of the single tax. Here
article 10 of the declaration of rights i'll
the Maryland constitution, first adopted
over a century ago, was found to stand
in the way, that article requiring taxes
to be levied on both real and personal
property. The court declares that under
this article all exemptions of personal
property must be null and void (page
142) AS the drift of tax reform is decid-
edly in this direction the state of Mary
land is to a great extent closed to any
improvement in her tax system. The
courts opinion of the single tax is not
fiattering. 1t is "a scheme which if
suffered to obtain foothold will inevi-
tably lead to ruinous consequences
(page 1881.
Third. The third case is that of
Kitchie versus the people, decided III
March, 1895, by the supreme court of
Illinois N. L. Reporter, volume 40, page
454). An act had been passed by the leg
islature (act of June II, 1899 provid-
ing that ''no female shall be employed
i'll any factory or workshop more than
eight hours in any one day or As hours
i'll any one week" The court declares
this section to be unconstitutional under
the article of the constitution of Illinois
(articles 2 and 20) which says that "no
person shall be deprived of life, liberty
or property without due process of law. "
AS the provision is common to almost
all, if not all, of our constitutions, the
decision is of interest throughout the
country. Judge Magruder i'll giving the
opinion of the court speaks as follows:
Labor is property, and the laborer
has the same right to sell his labor and
to contract without reference thereto as
any other property owner In this coun-
try the Legislature has no power to pre-
vent persons who are sui juris from
making their contracts, nor can it inter-
fere with the freedom of contract be-
tween the workman and the employed.
This enactment is purely arbitrary
restriction upon the fundamental right
Of the citizen To control his or her own
time or faculties. " 1t will be noticed
that this opinion, while it decides the
case against the employees and i'll favor
