HE IS 4 DEMOCRAT

Chauncey F. Black possesses much of the sterling scnse, vigorous character and clear insight into great movements which made his father, Jeremiah s. Black, power full force in national politics.
 He said in Washington Monday
 q believe in popular government. l am opposed to the free coinage ol silver. But if 8 majority of my par ty decrees free coinage I .an willing to accept it. There is more in De mocracy for me than the money question.
 Western Democrats will now un- derstand better than ever why Mr. Black has been by general consent retained so long as President of the National Association of Democratic Clubs. He is a Democrat by convie- tion, and through all vicissitudes remains a Democrat by fidelity fo the permanent principles of the Jeffersonian party
 He understands the full value of government by party; and is not moved by the settlements of year to sulkipg or bolting.
 Mr. Black boldly and distinctly defines his views on the currency: but in the politics of party he places above his own preference the united judgment of the majority regularly expressed. The candidates of the party will have his loyal support, and he will trust the masses of the party to settle aright the currency question or any other that is fully debated.
 We commend to all Democrats the cheering words of the Pennsvlya- nian, who is a public man and , | party leader without being profess | sionally q politician. The Chieaoo 1 Convention will witness a Titanic | struggle The forces will be 6ivia- 1 ed almost equally. Great leaders l will contend on each side. There i will be magnificent displays of ora 1 tory and management. Feeling will be aroused to degree unknown to the party since 1860. Both sides cannot win. Perhaps the conditions Will notpermit an acceptable com promise.
 Whether the result favors the le to coinage men or their opponents let every Democrat say with the President of the Association of Democratic Clubs: 'sI believe in popular government. I accept as : guide for my political action what , majority of my party decrees l

TnE Memphis Scimitar declares that Col. ]. A. Manson, lone of the incest men that ever went wrong on the financial question, has been se- lected as the free silver candidate to contest the Tenth Tennessee Con gressional District against Col. Jo- siah Patterson, the present incum- bent, and the strongest supporter of the Administration in the South. Col. Patterson is a very able man, in fact one of the ablest Democrats in Congress, and it is very doubtful if he can be defeated.

TIE 7ecarhanian, one of the strongest free silver champions in the State, says. Our information is that Col. Dan ". Jones has been railroad man and corporation lawyer for years; we know he open ly opposes a railroad commission in his speeches, says it is 'on-consti tutional' Harrod is a proven free silver man; he advocates railroad commission, and because few goldbug sheets favor him over Jones is no reason for giving the latter preference. Let us support only such men as are right on all vital issues.

The old story of Prometheus is parable. an allegory. Prometheus was on terms of intimacy with the gods. From them he stole fire. and gave it to men For this sin he was bound to the rocks of Mount Cau easus, and vultures were set upon him They only ate his liver. TIiis grew apai5 as fast as it was pecked away. Are his suf ferings to be imagined2 Yes, and realized.
 Take modern interpretation of the par ab,s. There is no cooking without fire In cooking and eating the mischief lies. The stomach is overtasked, the bowels become ciogged, they cannot dispose of the food that is given them. The impurities back up on the liver. Then come the vultures. The sufterings from an outside. visible hurt are mere pin scratch to the tormeuts of a diseased liver.
 But, moderns are ahead of the aucients There IS sequel to the old story.

This DOG Runs a Bake shop.

August Albert, an enterprising baker
doing business down near the French
market, owns an intelligent dog (Fifine,
that keeps his masters shop for him
writes the New Orleans correspondent
of the Philadelphia Times. Albert has
little bake room behind the shop and
as he always gives his personal atten-
ton to the oven Fifine proves invalu-
able in waiting upon customers, The
dog carries strapped about her neck a
little bank whose slot is arranged to
receive nothing more nor less than a
nickel.
The customer may help himself to a
loaf from the counter but woe betide one
who tries to depart without depositing
the requisite nickel in Fifne's bank
If more than one loaf is taken an equal
number of deposits must be made in
the bank, or Fifine will know the reason
why She knows very we'll how to use
her teeth in case of necessity, though
she is usually as mild as lamb and
quite a favorite with her customers, but
if her master should be needed she has
only to pull the bell rope which COM
municates with the bake room and he
is on the spot. Occasionally an ugly
customer comes along. Recently, for
instance, tramp tried to work Fifine
for supper, but the dog grabbed his
ankle as he was making for the door
without the formality of deposit,
pulled the bell and kept him safe and
sound till Albert appeared and police
man could be summoned.

Pretty Sophia Braun, Chicago misa
of Is, while attending a dance with a
very estimable young man the other
night met with remarkable accident.
Along toward morning she grew sleepy,
and while yawning dislocated her jaw.
Two doctors were summoned, and,
after putting the patient under the in
tluence Of chloroform, succeeded in re-
storing the jaw to its proper position.
The moral of this should be plain to
every young man who escorts young
ladies to dances.
