WHAT is A DEMOCRAT?

Being OF Underlined Views. Waiting to
Land In Office.
The hardest word to define in the
English language is the word Demo
GRAFT" It is said that foreigners who
come to, America find their greatest
trouble in learning our language in the
fact that the same word can mean so
many different things. For instance,
there is the word well" It can be
used in three or more different ways
for example,. as an interjeotion, "Welll
Is that SOP" as an adverb, 1.-THE man
who was sick is WE'LL" and as a noun,
"Get me drink Of cool water from the
WELL"
Such as this mixes foreigner up. It
Is even hard for native born Americans
sometimes to use the right word in the
right place.
They are finding much trouble In this
regard at present with the word Demo
orat Mr.. Grover Cleveland is Demo
orat. Hon. John G. Carlisle is Demo-
crat Mr.. Hill Of New York has said,
IT am Democrat" Messrs. p. Wat
Hardin and J. O. 8. Blackburn are
Democrats. Mr.. Ben D. Ringo, for
mer editor Of The Herald, is a Demo
crat. Mr.. Heber Matthews, who now
edits The Herald, is a Democrat But
we find among these men differences of
opinion on important issues. They rep
resent all sorts of ideas and opinions
and yet are Democrats.
What is Democrat anyhow Let us
see. The Democratic platform adopted
at Chicago resulted in split in the
Democratic party. AS a result large
numbers Of sound money Democrats
supported Major Mckinley either di-
reotly or indirectly. Sound money Dem
oorats agreed with the Republicans as
far as finances were concerned.
What next? We now find in the Unit
ed States senate many Democratic sena-
tors who are willing to vote for pro-
tective tariff on wool, sugar and cotton.
The protective tariff policy Of the Re-
publican party is being Endorsed by
Democratic United States senator's
We are also informed by the Protec-
tive Tariff league that many Democratic
papers throughout the south are de-
manding tariff literature-papers that
once were insulting to the league be-
cause it offered them such literature.
Large numbers of Democrats, therefore,
are standing ON the financial and tariff
planks of the Republican party.
This is hot all. The Populists at pres
Ont are engaged in bitter fight to keep
the Democrats from crowding them off
their platform. If the Populists do not
keep in the middle of the road, it is
only matter of time until Populists
will have to get down on their knees
before the Democrats and pray, Please,
friendly Democrats, can we get up on
our PLATFORM"
In view of the facts, it appears that a
Democrat can be anything and every
thing. We therefore give this definition
of the word Democrat: A Democrat
is being of the human species who has
no defined views on political issues; a
being whose privilege it is to believe in
and advocate any principle that will
land him in office, no matter how great
or small" anything, o Lord, no mat
ter how small. Hartford (Ky.) Re-

The bladder was created for one purpose,
namely, receptacle for the urine, and as
such It Is not liable to any form of disease
except by one of two ways. The first way
Is from imperfect action OF the kidneys.
The Second way Is from careless local treat

Chief Cause.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kidneys
is the chief cause of bladder troubles. So
the womb, like the bladder, was created

trouble of some sort. The error is easily
made and may be easily avoided. To find
