sane asylum.
STOCKTON, CAL Sept. Tt is whis-
pered in State Hospital circles that DR..
Hoscholt, second assistant physician at
The asylum, may not be elected to succeed
himself al the expiration of his term. The
election may take place at the next meet
ing of the Board of MANAGERS on Friday,
or may go over until the October session.
Dr. Hoischolt's efficiency is not ques-
toned, but there are certain political in
dorsements which, it is claimed, are due
to other Democratic physicians.
Superintendent Clark, it is understood
is favorable to Dr.. Hoischolt, and will ap-
point him. But there is a string on mis-
action. The law says he may appoint as
sistant physicians with the "consent" of
the Board of Managers, and as there is a
little friction between the two powers his
will may be thwared.

Booth-Tucker Convicted.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Frederick
Booth-Tucker, commander of the Sal
vation Army in the United States, was
tonight convicted of maintaining q
house at the big army bar
racks in West Fourteenth street. Sem
tence was postponed until June s, and
the commander was liberated on bail.
Complaint was made by residents Of

alleged that they were greatly dis

ing at the Salvation Army meetings,
especially those that lasted all night.
Booth Tucker was defended by ex-
Mayor A. Oakley Hall, who quoted
from the Scriptures to show that MI
riam was the first halleIujah lassie, and
that trumpets, cymbals, harps, casta-
nets, cornets and timbrels were used
by the ancient Hebrews in the wor-
ship of God. The Judges charge was

NASHVILLE, TENN, May 25.-The
common ground for Democrats to
stand on now Is for Democrats to quit
acting the fool and fighting each other
and turn their faces to the foe.
There is only one common ground
for Democrats, and that is eternal war
upon the high protective tariff, the
combines, the civil service fraud, the
Republican party in general and the
devil in particular.
The common ground for Democrats
to stand on is to agree upon Demo-
cratic measures and fight for them as
a unit.
The common ground for Democracy
to stand on is good government, hon
est men in high places, protection to
the weak and justice to the strong.
These things have been said millions
of times over and over again, but they
cannot be too often said.

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
Senator Vests Speech is the Keynote
of Tariff Opposition.

WASHINGTON, May Ex-senator
Vest will not ask for a vote on his
proposition to strike out tax on beer,
tobacco and tea, for probably 3weeks
yet. He will wait until the revenue
schedule is reached. Meantime both
Senators from Missouri will lose no
opportunity to show how adversely
the proposed tax will affect the people
of the West. Senator Vests speech
yesterday opening the fight for the
Democrats will be the keynote of the
speeches to follow. The Democratic
side will lose no opportunity to make
the point that the people of the coun-
try cannot stand higher taxes and that
the pending bill seeks to impose a
burden too heavy to carry. The rev.
enue schedule is In danger of defeat.
Many Republicans are opposed to it
and will be glad to see it defeated.

THE request to leave out news that
concerns us or our friends is, says the
Augusta Chronicle, as natural, per-
haps, as the desire to have all the
news printed about other folks for our
entertainment and information. If it
Is about us or ours, leave it out; if it
Is about the other fellow, print it,
seems to be the natural impulse of the
human mind, and we always feel that
we are making an entirely reasonable
request when we ask the suppression
Of an item that concerns us, even
though it be an entirely legitimate
matter of news, and one which we
would expect to see in the papers if il
concerned anybody else.

Turkey Determined to Hold Thessally
Great Britain Will Break the

Dispatches from the East indicate
that there are more possibilities of
general European trouble in the peace
negotiations than there were during

Turkey seems determined to hold
Thessally.
Great Britain has announced that
she will withdraw from the concert if
the other Powers allow the Moslems
to remain in Thessally even until
Greece pays the indemnity that may
be assessed.
The Turkish Council of Ministers
has decided that it will not even dis

Province. The Grand Vizier has urged
the Sultan to hold Thessally, tender
ing his resignation, to take effect if
his advice is not accepted. Turkey

preparatory to sending them into the
conquered territory, and is taking

about that race.
THE CHAMPION NEVER WEARS HIS TRo-
PLY JEWELS.
Mr.. Robinson and his wife, who is a
sister of William German, one of the
great riders of to-day, live at a fash
ionable boarding house in Mexico and
spend their summers in the North.
Mr.. Robinson rarely says anything at
the long table, but during the recent
campaign he could not always keep
still. He is rabid gold standard man.
He cannot mention Bryan's name
without frowning, and when he re-
turned from tho Lake after the olse-
ton, he was 80 full OF joy that he
could not contain himself. His free
silver friends hid from him when they
saw him coming, for they did not
want to face the teasing they knew
would come with him.

feet. Every line of his face indi-

profession. A stubby mustache adds

of sinewy deer.
He dresses plainly and seldom wears
any of the splendid jewels that were
given him by many of the crowned
heads of his day and other admirers.
His trophies, which are exceedingly
handsome, are seldom shown to any
one. He cannot bear notoriety. In
short, he is exactly the opposite Of
what the average circus performer
wishes and strives to be.
He is passionately fond of fishing.
Perhaps the bobbing of the cork and
the gay colors of the fishes remind
him of something now in the past.
Anyway he is successful angler.

In to- days LEDGER will be found an
address from the National Democratic
State Central Committee of Missouri,
of which L. R. Whitley, formerly of
Audrain county, is secretary. The ar
raignment Of the Republican party by
the National Democrats sounds all
right. The National Democrats, in
their public utterances, are even more
bitter against the Republicans than
are the regular Democrats. The only
way to defeat the Republican party is
for all Democrats to get together and
form one solid Democratic army. The
way to get together is for all Demo-
Gratis to abide the result of the Ma
tional Convention. We have too many
different kinds of Democrats. When
the Democratic convention at Chicago

AMERICAN FLAG HAULED DOWN
Grain Will Go to India in q Foreign
Ship.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-A long de-
bate occurred in the Senate over the
chartering of ships to carry relief sup
plies to India. Mr.. Chandler, of New
Hampshire, endeavored to get vote
on his proposition to send the supplies
by any suitable ship.
Mr.. Morgan, of Alabama, insisted
that American ships, under the Amer
lean flag, should be employed. He
favored naturalizing two foreign-b built
ships, seven if it does grind on some
gentlemen who monopolize the coast
wise trade in steamships"
Mr.. Gray, of Delaware, also urged
that "the white-w winged messenger of
peace and benevolence" should bear
the American flag. Mr.. Stewart, of
Nevada, said that the sending of grain
was a charity, and yet here Senators
were discussing what display we could
make, how we could advertise our
selves and how the American flag
could be used as an incident to charity.
Mr.. Fryre declared that the propo-
sition of Mr.. Morgan was a "scheme''
originating with Hogan & Sons, New
York ship owners, who were seeking
to make bargain as an incident to
this charity, by which two of their for
eign-built ships would secure perma-
nent American registeries.
A motion by Mr.. Morgan to table
the Chandler proposition was defeat
ed, is to IA, and the joint resolution
was passed. Just as it passed MIR.
Sewall, of New Jersey, made brief
and vigorous statement that this
American benefaction should go un-
der the American flag, and added:
sThe American flag is now hauled
down."
The Secretary Of the Navy has &C.
cepted the offer of the owners OF the
American steamship City Of Everett
now at San Francisco, to charter thai
vessel to the government for tht
transportation Of grain from California
to Bombay for the famine sufferers il

Do You Use It?

It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor. 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil In
which the hair grows, and,
just as a desert will blossom

ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair

In this case, though, the title does not

make the man. 1t may turn out to be
an inordinate protection measure.
Even if it shall be honestly built on
