call for a meeting of the committee at
the Planters Hotel in st. Louis, Mon
| day next, at 10 o'clock n. m.
In explaining the reasons for the

sit is essential that the new COM
| mittee perfect its organization az
| quickly as possible. There is much
| work ahead of lis in this State, and the
sooner we get at it the better"

had for committee work, Chairman
| Cook said:
81 do not care to discuss any Of these
| matters until the members of the ceH-
| mittee have been given full oppostun-
ity to express their ideas, Therksare
some questions, however, upon which
all Democrats are agreed. We need q
thorough organization throughout the
State, and this we r going to have.
1t is my idea to inaugurate the school
district plan of organization, which
has already been discussed"

DEAR SIR: The Attorney General
holds that the law does not authorize
a County Commissioner to grant
special examinations to those who
failed in the Institute until q sufficient
time has elapsed, say six months, in
order to give the party all opportuni-
ty to cure his deficiencies in scholar

endure the dragging torture of the ills
peculiar to womankind in the silence OF

and torture is written in the drawn

Unborn modesty seals their lips. They
prefer pain to humiliation. Custom has
made them believe the only hope OF
relief lies in the exposure of examina-

Mr.. E. d. Jenkins, of Lithonia, Ca.

lions the relative value of the two
METALS" teachings that have been re-
peated and emphasized by Calhoun,
Benton, Jackson and all other success
sors of Jefferson in the 'long and IL
lustrious line of Democratic Leadership
from Madison to Cleveland" The
platform of 1896, in declaring for the
free and unconditional coinage of sill
yer at a ratio of 10 to 1 of gold by the
United States alone repudiates the
whole Democratic plan and theory OF
finance, and proposes instead . sys-
tenn of cheap and debased currency,
which, in the words of Gallatin, Will
''subvert every public and private en-
gagement, impair the performance of
every contract, make invariably the
ignorant and the weak dupes of the
shrewd and wary, and demoralize the
whole country"
The Convention throughout barter
ed Democratic principles for Populis-
tic votes. The bargain has not been
closed in all its details, apparently be-
cause the hucksters who are engaged
in it a not trust each other. How
ever, it may be concluded, whatever
the Chicago platform may be when
managers have ceased tampering with
it-whoever the candidates may be
when the deal has been finally arrang-
ed, Democratic they can not be.
The highest duty of patriotism and
~partisanship in this campaign is to de-
feat the Chicago ticket and platform.
Their success means disaster to the
country, and the overthrow of genuine
Democracy.
Some years ago when suffering with
an uncommonly severe attack OF diar-
rhoea, Mr.. W. B. Guinnip, Of Atco, Pa,
received through the mail a sample
bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. He says: 81
found it to be one of the most effect
i've remedies l ever used. 1t gave me
almost immediate relief. II has no
superior and I think no equal. No
bad effects follow the use OF tbis rem
edy. 1t is pleasant to take when re-
duced with water and sweetened.

Peck on Party Rulers.


Mr.. George r. Peck, in his address
at Union College some time ago, said
some very good things about the ne
cessity for curbing the power of party
rulers. He aptly describes the rule of
these bosses in American politics as
follows:
"In every party there are men who
give their days and nights to meditat-
ing ignoble schemes for controlling
the peoples will. They rule the or
%ganization from within; erecting an
imperium in imperio; fostering an
arlstocracy of spoils, a ~despotism of
deceit and fraud. They sit in judg-
ment upon men and policies, repress-
ing merit and advancing the incapable
and the unworthy, who do their bid
ding"
Such bosses as have developed of
late years, especially in larger cities,
have been often times little else than
despots. The progress of the govern
ment is from the absolute rule of the
one to that government which is re-
publican in form and fact. 1t is inn
possible to maintain the latter except
by the vigilance of an intelligent peo-
pie. 1t is as easy to revert from re-
publican to despotic government, in
fact-let the forms be what they may
as to revert from civilization to bar
sarism in any other respect. And if
the truth be known, we have had
numerous instances of reversion to
absolutism in this country through the
rule of the party boss. For instance,
it is overlooking the existence of
things as they are to say that New
York city, under the supremacy of
"Boss" Croker, had a government that
was Democratic in fact. Only by
curbing the power of party rulers, who
are becoming the rulers of the people,
can Democratic government be as
sured.

WORDS THAT BURN.
81 see a time coming fraught with
more danger than any war we have
yet passed through; a time when the
money power will dominate over pa
triotism, and gradually contracting
our currency, force us into q fratraci-
dial war nor horrible than any yet
past. The future dangers of the Re-
public lie in the increased greed of the
money power. Let our future law
makers beware of the foot hold that
power shall endeavor to gain upon our
statute books.
81 see in the near future a crisis
arising that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my
country. AS a result Of the war, cor
porations have been enthroned and an
era of corruption in high places will
follow while the money power of the
country will endeavor to prolong it's
reign by working upon the prejudices
of the people until all wealth has ag-
gregated in a few hands and the Re-
public is destroyed"
