DEFINE THEIR CREED.
The Gold Democrats Issue n Declara-
tion of Principles.

The National Executive Committee Of
the gold Democrats, in session at Chicago,
Las issued an address to the Democrats
of the United States. This address is, in
effect, the platform on which the National
Democratic party goes before the people.
Another declaration of principles will be
adopted, of course, at the national gath
cring in Indianapolis as a part of cOnven-
tion routine, but it is not overstatement
of the case to say that in the main it can
10 but little more than paraphrase the
declaration issued from Chicago.
The indianapolis conference evolved
the call for the national convention and
no more. 1t was agreed there that the
members of the party throughout the ma
ton were entitled to Il statement of the
reasons why certain leaders take issue
with the principles endnciated III the Chi
cago conventional statement fuller and
more explicit than could be embodied in
call for convention. Whereas the con-
vcntion call prepared at Indianapolis was
q declaration of war by gold Democrats,
it was designed that the address to be pre-
pared by the Executive Committee should
be a call to arms.

Many New Features Brought Out in
the Finely Executed Work.
The big general maps of the United
States, issued by the general land office
for this year, have just been issued. The
result of the work of engraving and print
ing is one of the most complete and finely
drawn sets yet issued by the Government.
The feature is the division of the country
into sections, marking the various ces-
sions and purchases from other Govern
ments. The tracts covered in the original
thirteen colonies and the Gadsden pvr-
chase, the Texas annexation, the cessions
of Louisiana, Alaska, Mexico and Florida
nre clearly set out for the first time. Com
missioner LamoreuX is the originator of
the idea. Only limited number of maps
have been issued, and large saving over
previous years is made in the contract
price of 81 cents each to the Government.

Newfoundlanders are engaged every year,

G. A. r. COLONY A FAILURE.
The Veterans at Fitzgerald, Ca, Ar
in Hard T,uck

III
An Atlanta correspondent says: The
colonists, who are trying to build up the
new town of Fitzgerald, Ga, are in hard
luck. Last winter the town had 5000
inhabitants and about 80 business
houses, but the hot weather has driven
more than half of the settlers back to
their old homes, where many of them
will remain permanently. Disease and
death have thinned the ranks of the col
onists, and they dread what the future
has in store for them.
1t was a mistake for these people to set
tie in region where summer begins with
April and ends with October They can
not endure the climate, and they are too
far from the markets to make truck
farming profitable. The natural condi-
tiOns of the place We're bad enough, but
the colOnists have made them worse by
building houses suited to n cold climate.
Then they have their stables and cow
sheds near their cottages, and in warm
weather these conveniences are very dis
agreeable and dangerous. But some of
the plucky citizens are determined to hold
out and many of those who have left are
expected to return in the fall and make
another effort to overcome the adverse
forces of nature. The Gcorgians are anx-
ious to see the newcomers succeed, but
they regret that they did not locate their
town on the Piedmont slope in northern
Georgia, where the climate enables people
to work outdoors all the year round. and
where malaria is unknown The failure
of Fitzgerald will be regarded as calam-
fly by the progressive Southerners, who
desire to see an influx of white immi-
grants.

Grant Pursued by Bears.


General Grant was a great lover OF
trout fishing" said a guide, "and the
greatest of all his outings was at tKane,
McKane County, Pennsylvania, In
August, 1860. l received letter late
In July of that year, requesting that

fishing tour ON the OswayO Creek
'The first days fishing along Oswayo
Creek was successful, and we re-
turned with number of trout. 1t was
a difficult place to reach, and the coun-
try simply abounded with wild game.
The General was fond of seeing deer
go through the woods, and was not q
bit afraid of bears.
General Grant was an expert fisher
man, and could whip stream with any
Of the pOt-fishers. He would never fish
for trout with bait. But If 1t so hap
pened that he had lost all his flies, he
would put on whatever he could find,
and continue to whip the stream. The
two of us in five days fishing caught
712 trout, all gOOd-sized ones. We ate
some of them, and the rest were packed
in ice to be sent to friends.
Il shall never forget our return from
Sharon Center to Kane. We had every
thing on the spring wagon, including
the iced trout. After travelling about
four miles, we passed through an ex-
ceptionally heavy woodland, and when
we were about 200 yards from the
woods, two bears made their appear
ance. They trotted along after us at
Il gait that showed us that they were
gaining on the horse. They evidently
had scented the fish, and were wishing
for a good meal.
1--WE did not feel much afraid until
we came to discover that our guns and
reyolvers were left behind at Haber-
steen's house. The bears were gradu-
ally gaining on us, and it was time to
be thinking about doing something.
What's to be done in a case of this
kind? queried the General.
"The only thing 1 know of is to
drive so fast that they can't catch up,'
l replied. But the faster we drove the
more rapidly the bears ran.
"I know how to get away from
them exclaimed Grant. We will
throw trout to the ground, few feet
apart, and as the bears stop to pick
them up we will gain so much by every
| fish,
''Well, that looked like great
scheme. We began throwing the fish
out, two or three at time. The bears
began to pick them up, but I'll be con-
twisted if they didn't start to give the
trout the go-by and hasten their steps
to catch up to the wagon. All the time
we kept choice trout into the road to
coax them bears to quit the chase.
! 1--WE concluded that the old horse
would have to hurry. The whip was
! applied. We lost the bears, and In the
village related the story of the bears
following us to several farmers, who
got guns and started after them.

ed bears were doing when they found
! them? They stopped at the end of the

| and q half back, had eaten nearly all
the trout. They evidently wanted
bigger game. and when they saw they
could not get it, they were content to
