xenLion. then tile men who deserted
the Democratic State nominees on ac-
count Of personal d:s'ikes or petty jeal-
ousies were justified in placing Mary
land in the Republican column last
year, and so will the men who for any
real or imaginary cause who may de-
sert their party nominees in the future
be upheld under this false ruling. AS
Democrats who believe in keeping
alive the doctrines of the party and
following in the footsteps of Jefferson
and the fathers of Democracy. We con-
tend that no fair-minded Democrat
has right TO desert his party simply
because he may not lie able 10 subscribe
TO this or that platform adopted hon
estly aud fairly in open convention.
Individual opinions are not supposed
TO stand against the action of duly
authorized official body Whether
platforms or candidates are personally
acceptable or not, the doctrines OF De-
mocracy have always been TO submit
TO the voice of the majority. That the
majority of tie Democrats in National
Convention assembled have adopted
their platform and selected their can
didates is now an established fact.
II at he selections were honestly made,
10 sensible Democrat will for q mo-
ment question. Never was there such
a free and untrammelled expressi n #
sentiment as emanated from the Chic
ago Convention. The people were IN
mis-, akably in ntrol. No ring or
clique or boss dictated the p LEY Of
that convention. No man attempted
10 foretell what the platform would be
OF upon whom the nom nation would
fall. There was no cut and dried pro-
gram TO be carried out. The delegates
from every State and Territory in this
broad Union had been selected by their
respective representatives., and on their
assembling at Chicago were in many
cases free and untrsmmelled. Ii cases
where they Were instructed it was by
the au horned seton OF their State
Conventions. The platform anu can
dida,es selected at Chicago was the au,
thorized action of the Democrats IF the
United States. and IS such they should
mand the allegiance OF every true
Democ attn this broad Union. Selfish
personal interests should not staud in
the wayof stern, stubborn duty TO ones
party.

last few months which have affected
Tour continents, that we have seen the
last great war. 1t might be so If all
nations were on ehe same. level of civil

Atlantic Monthly. But with the great
races Of the world, those which win
inevitably be the leading actors in the
coming drama, still in such different
stages Of advancement. who viii flara ;,
predict that we have vet entered mon >

ODDS are altogether in favor of one more
great struggle Of physical force. COM

era OF the peaceful competition of ideas

The Metropolitan Press Against
the People.

As might have been expected, the
gold press of the entire country is a
unit in declaring that Cochran's reply
to Bryan was the great master
speech of the age. As they united in
attempting to belittle Bryan in bis
able and mastery presentation of the
silver question, so will they unite in
attempting to hold up Mr.. Cochran
as the great apostle of the gold bugs
In many sections, however. Mr.. Coch-
ran will only be regarded as the paid
attorney for the bankers and Wall
street spectators of New York. The
people in the meantime are declaring
for silver and will register their unal-
terable opposition to all trusts and COM
binations. Laws that bestow equal
benefits are what is now demanded.

This maple had been planted on the

four feet in girth. The trunk. how

shaped like triangular prism-a pc

BEES AS MESSENGERS.
They VIII Be Let Loose When
Nations Next Fall Out.
Insects VIII supersede Carrier Pigeons,
Eluding the Enemy's Rifles - The
Trained Dogs of Germsny's Am
bulance Service.

Dogs and bees threaten to play a
prominent part in the next great war.
NJ. Taynac, a noted bee master of
French minister of war a hive con-
tanning several thousand bees trained
for messenger service. They are ex-
pected to take the place of the FAN
tiquated carrier pigeons, which," says
M. Taynac, may do very we'll in times
of peace, but will be utterly useless in
war, as the new far-reaching rifles
make the pigeons an easy target for
sharpshooters. Thus not only will
their mission be interfered with, but
the very dispatches they carry will fall
into the hands of the enemy"
Similar objections cannot apply to
bees, which, on account of their small
ness, must necessarily escape bullets,
though, of course, special firearms to
fight them may be invented in time.
Disregarding this for the present, the
minister of war has signified his inten-
ton of looking into the matter.
Of course, working bees can only be
used for the service; queen bees and
drones would be of no use whatever.
NJ. Taynac, before he entered upon the
enterprise, had observed that bees
taken away from their hives and lib
Grated at distance of about two hours
walk, always found their way home
after futtering about for little while,
as if trying to ascertain the direction
they should take. The home journey
they accomplished usually in from 20
to 25 minutes, which is equal to about
1914 miles per hour. The French bee
master employed the following train
ing method:
He presented one of his friends, liv-
ing about ten miles from Versailles,
with a small beehouse, stocked with
plenty of honey. After the bees had
become accustomed to their new sur
roundings dozen or more were placed
in small cage with a wire roof, so as
to admit air; the cage was taken to
Versailles and the bees were liberated
in a room which contained on a table
a plate filed with honey. M. Taynac
allowed them to eat plenty, then caught
one after another, and, holding each
between a pair of soft pincers, pasted
