Thomas Jefferson Not a Democrat,

1t is painful to be forced to unmask a
man who has been SO long held up as
the exponent of Democratic doctrine,
but a stern sense Of duty to the free sill
yer and spoils Democracy Of the present
compels us to portray him in his true
colors. It is not right that he should re-
ceive the enthusiastic laudations of
Chicago platform Democrats when he
was false to nearly every one of the
great and glorious principles which
they formulated in 1896. What right
had Jefferson to pose as a Democrat,
anyhow What pretensions to pemoc-
racy had a man who actually believed
in applying business principles and
common sense to national affairs, WI
had old fashioned ideas about the sa-
credness Of obligations, who demone-
tized silver when he saw it was neces
sary for the public good and who was a
civil service reformer.
Logically the only thing for the free
silver Democrats to do is to denounce
MI. Jefferson instead Of praising him
and to adopt resolutions reciting his
various glaring heresies and formally
reading him out of the party, for 1t is
absolutely certain that if the Chicago
platform is to be taken as the expression
Of true Democratic doctrine Thomas
Jefferson was not a Democrat and must
descend from his pedestal as the father
Of Democracy.-Baltimore Sun.

COURSING LIZARDS.

The Amusement of a Tame Eagle In the
Arizona Desert.
In st. Nicholas Wolcott LIE Clear
Beard writes of Moses, a Tame Eagle"
which was one of his pets while he was
engaged in engineering in southern Ari-
IONA. Mr.. Beard says he was very
fond Of the lizards with which these
plains abounded, and one large variety,
called swifts, from their remarkable
speed in running, seemed to be especial
1y coveted. .
Whenever one of these was caught,
which was not often, Moses would be
brought out, and, after the swift had
taken a ten foot start, would be set free.
The lizard would promptly resolve itself
into a white streak across the desert,
and, screaming with excitement, half
running, half flying, Moses would pur-
sue, followed by the laughing crowd, of
which only those on horseback had
much chance of keeping up. It was in
no sense a cruel sport. 1t amused Moses
and us and didn't hurt the swift, for
he got away every time, and if the feel
ings of our pet were a trife injured as
he returned, perched on some ones
wrist or saddle horn, from his fruitless
hunt these were speedily soothed by
the prompt gift of a nice bit of fresh
beef, so no n was the worse. The liz
ards, however, he seemed to view as q
sort of dessert, and as he could absorb
an unlimited quantity they were al
ways in demand.
A certain stick kept on the veranda
of u office was generally under his
eye, and when any one picked this up
and started for a walk across the desert
Moses would hop gravely along behind,
sure that some of his favorite dainties
would soon be forthcoming.
Of course Moses was perfectly well
able to catch the smaller kinds of liz.
ards for himself, but there was less ex-
ertion in allowing some one else to do
it for him, and exertion at this period
of his life was a thing to which Moses
was violently opposed. These occasions
were almost the only ones when he
would be silent for any length of time,
for he seemed to understand perfectly
that at the first note of his voice every
lizard within hearing would run for its
life to the nearest refuge, and only
when a blow Of the stick failed for the
second or third time to reach its mark
would he give %utterance to his deep
disgust at such clumsiness.

just debts. There are struggling hearrs
among Friends who need material aid as
well as kind words
Ann Smith encouraged overseers to be
iaithful, as transgressions of the discip-
line may often be prevented by timely
visits and loving counsel.
Lydia d. Pierce said that Friends must
not be discouraged by the failure of the
treaty of Arbitration. Let them so speak
and live that their whole lives shall make

After a strong expression from many
Friends against card playing, especially
playing for prizes, Eliz abeth Comfy gave
this as a good test: "Auy amusement il

asked upon it,"
After answering all the queries the

perfectly safe.
This new discovery originated by
DR.. Finlaw enables him to success
fully treat complicated diseases of the
womb that have been incurable under
other treatment without the patient
having to visit the office or be sub

Fifth day Morning.

The silence that prevailed during the
gathering IF the meeting in the Race
Street Meeting house was broken by
words of earnest prayer by Sarah B.
Flitcraft. Aaron M. Powell, of New
York, followed, delivering a sermon of
considerable length, holding in deepest
attention of the large meeting gathered.
He said: "The value of silence depends
on the attitude of the individual soul.
The full meaning of the Kingdom of
God that is within the heart is learned
only through prayer, and we come to
know through a living experience, that
there is about US a mighty sustaining arm .
The mission of Quakerism is the shap-
ing of human lives on the model of the
ideal Christian character. We all know
the preciousness of friends. but more
precious is the marriage bond, where two
souls blend together under this divine
leading. The diverse picture was
drawn of worldly, passionate, selfish
mollAoSOos
His yoke is the easy one.
Let us all take just the little more
time for silent prayer, for silent watet
ing.
The beautiful foliage of the trees SO
lately bare through the silent, trans,
forming influence is brought out 10
transcendent beauty, even as is the ideal
! Christian character through the shining
of the Christ light into the souls of men.
There is to be a future, a beautiful
future, and Quakerism is but fairly
begun.
We have many great problems con-
fronting us. Somebody must help solve

The war between Gre ece and Turkey is

The war between Gre ece and Turkey is
practically ended, an arm istice having
been declared until the terms of peace
can be agreed upon. The calling off of
Turkey is thought to be the work of the
fine hand of the Gear of Russia, though
Turkey has about obtained all that she
was fighting for, and that was to regain
Thessaly. She now has captured all
the important towns as we'll as the coast
defences, and thus has a strong foothold
in her negotiations for the abrogation of
the Berlin treaty and a large indemnity.
Instead of Turkey being the sick man of
Europe, it begins to look as if the Powers
had a patient on their hands likely to
battle all their skill in treating, as he has
already defied all their warnings. Patent
nostrums will not reach his case. Only
heroic treatment will answer.

The extra session of the Legislature,
called by Governor Griggs, will assemble
hext Tuesday. The special object of re-
converting the Legislature is to correct an
error of one word in copying the anti
gambling amendment to the Constitution,
which is to be submitted to a vote Of the
people in September next, in which the
copyist wrote provided" instead of ''pro.
hieited," and bus destroyed the sense
and validity of the amendment. A good
deal of speculation has been in the air as
to whether the session would confine itself
to the simple duty for which it is called
together, or whether the lawmakers
would take the privilege of entering upon
the work of other legislation. In order to
learn the views of the members of the
Senate and House the New York Tribune
sent a circular letter to each one. and in
it's issue of Tuesday a long list of replies
are published. The preponderance of
opinion is in favor of prompt adjourn

on bills vetoed by the Governor and on
important bills which failed of passage at
the regular session. Mr.. Rau would pass
a resolution-rather belated now
asking the Governor to veto the Della
ware Dam bill. Senator Vreeland would
correct bills imperative because of cler-
ioal mistakes. Mr.. Fighter would pass a
judiciary amendment and a sunset elec-
ton law. AS for Senator DAILY, he would
like to see the adoption of a concurrent
resolution declaring the Republican party
incompetent to conduct the affairs of the
State, and calling upon the people to
speedily return the Democratic party to
power. He thinks that there is no need
Of any constitutional amendment for fifty
years, and that racetrack gambling has
been killed by legislative enactment al
ready. All these utterances, while they
show a majority expression in favor of

Governor Griggs on Tuesday disposed
of all the bills left in his hands at the ad-
journment of the Legislature by signing
thirteen and filing eighty. five without
his approval. Among the bills signed
and which thus become laws, was the
Delaware Dam bill, over which there has
been no little controversy. There are
grave apprehensions that the daming OF
the Delaware river would have a bad
effect upon the fishing interests. How.
ever, the bill will not become operative
until a similar law is passed in Pennsyl.
vania. The bills that were filed without
the Governors approval had some cleri.
