The Democratic Party.

The Democratic party is gov a COM
pact ard united organization for the
first time in a quarter of century.
The last campaign winnowed out of it
every discordaut element. In spite of
the efforts of trusted leaders to betray
it into the hands of its enemies. and TO
destroy its organization it polled at the
conclusion of that campaign the largest
vote in its history. Instead of being
crushed It is now in better condition
to'wage aggressive war upon the enc
mics of civil liberty and upon those
who wish to make this nation an oil
garchy of plutocrats than it has ever
been before We have not far to look
for the causes OF this virility.
For a number of years great depres-
sion has prevailed among the agricul-
tural classes over the whole world. This
depression has been shared in by the
producing classes of every land. Men
who till the soil are generally agreed
upon a remedy for the prevailing de-
preston. They say that they were
fairly prosperous before the money
changers struck down one OF the two
money metals of the world. They be-
Iieve that IL silver were to be restored
TO its ancient place a large share of
prosperity would return to them for
the reason that it would not then take
nearly so much of their produce to buy
n dollar as it now does aud that pros
perity would begin TO return at once.
The bond holding aud money lending
Glasses say that while prices would be
higher it would be in fact scaling
down of debt and the farmers. and me-
chanic's prosperity would be attained
at their expense, that il is dishonest to
reduce the purchasing power of their
money by increasing its volume
through legislation. that such legisla-
ton Is robbery The reply of the pro-
duclug classes is conclusive. They
say that as the bond holders advantage
was obtained by legislation he cannot
complain If It is taken from him by
legislation. when the general good de-
mauds 1t.
The Democratic party stands COM
mitted to this view of the case. In the
last campaign Republican orators
claimed that prosperity was the crea.-
ure OF confidence and not OF economic
laws. That a restoration of silver,
would only increase the difficulties of
the farmer and laborer In this country.
that the election of Mckinley would
operate at once 20 restore confidence
and the hum Of the factory and the

clash of machinery would at once be
heard throughout the land. By Her
culian effort, By the expenditure of
money largely drawn from the pockets
OF people on the eastern shore of the
Atlantic who have investments here
from which they wish to get the largest
returns possible, by promises OF official
preferment, by appealing to prejudice.
by bribery and corruption on a scale
never before known, they succeeded in
landing Mckinley in the White House.
The people who were told that con-
fidence would return and prosperity
begin to appear as soon as it became
known that Mckinley was elected are
still anxiously awaiting the prosperity
promised and wondering what has be-
come of confidence. At the very first
meeting of congress the Republicans
shrink from passing a tariff measure
which they constructed at the last ses-
sion and assured the country would
bring relief. The truth is that Repub-
licans know that tariff will not bring
relief. and no Democrat will assist
them out of the hole into which they
have fallen. for how can higher taxes.
levied from the whole people in the in
terest of the few, bring prosperity to-
the many.
The Democratic party has but to
wait in patience to see the Republican
party fail, which it will surely do. Its
only hope is that the people will be-
come accustomed to present conditions
and that party cohesion will be strong
er than personal interest.
Again, the Chicago convention de-
clared in favor of curtailing the arbitra-
ry power of Federal Courts. which now
imprison men for a constructive con-
tempt for longer periods than others are
imprisoned for the commission of a fell
ony. The peple are at last awakening
to the importance of this feature. There
isuo disputing the fact that our untitled
aristocracy has wonderful influence ov-
er the Federal Judiciary and will keep it
under their control to do their bidding
if they can.
The people must in some way regain
control of their servants. Let the
Democratic party continue to be true
to the people and the people will rally
to it's support. Seventy millions of
people are not moved in a day.

Some Tricks the Eyes Play:

1t is an old and wise snying that
''seeing is believing" yet everybody
knows that very often what we see.
and therefore believe, proves to be
not really true at all. AS we grow
older, finding that our eyes have SO
frequently deceived MS, we are often
aot satisfied with the evidence they
give us until we have verified it by
touch or smell or hearing or taste, or
by looking at some doubtful thing
from different points of view, or under
a different lighting.
We are not willing to believe that a
conjurer actually draws rabbits from
a mans ear or coins from the tip of
his nose just because our eyes tell us
such tales. Sometimes our deceptions
are so lasting that things must be
made wrong in order to look right,
which seems rather contradictory. If
we look at the letter S or the figure 8
as carefully as we can, the upper and
lower halves seem almost exactly the
same size. II We turn them upside
down, thus, S, 8, the difference in the
size of the loops is quite astonishing,
and we wonder how we could have
been so mistaken; yet perhaps the
truth is that the loops are neither SO
different nor so much alike as they
seem to be, as we SEQ when we look at
them turned upon their sides, thus,

Tho Greatest Travellers.

The number of Americans who spend

been suggested, by the number OF
Americans who visit Paris yearly. 1
offer the following figures, which we're
obtained through the courtesy of the
chief of police of Paris, as q pertinent
contribution to the discussion. Exact
statistics of visitors in Paris have been
kept by the police, under the present
detailed system, only from 1898.
Since then all arrivals in that city
have been carefully reported at the
Prefecture by the proprietors of hotels
and pensions, under pain of fine for
neglect, and they may be in part tabu'
lated as follows:

Insect life in the Arctic regions is

distance nearly as great as the planet
Neptune from the sun. But in 1890
the companion disappeared from view,
having reached point in its track sc
nearly in line with Sirius that its faint

WORTH WHILE.

'Tis easy enough to be pleasant,
When life flows along like song;
But the man worth while is tho one who will
smile
When everything goes dead wrong
For the test OF the heart is trouble,
And It always comes with tho years,
And the smile that is worth the praise Of
eatth
Is the smile that comes through tears.
1t is easy enough to bo prudent,
When nothing tempts you to stray;
When without or within no voice OF sin
Is Turing your soul away;
But It's only negative virtue
Until II is tried by flre,
Aud the life that Is worth tho honor OF
earth
Is the one that resists desire.
BY tho cynic, tho sad, the fallen,
Who ha no strength for tho strife,
The worl1's highway is cumbered to day;
They make up the item OF life.
But the virtue that conquers passion,
Aud the sorrow that hides in a smile
It is these that are worth the homage OF
earth,
For we flnd them but once In a while.

Stout Hearts. These.

The heart is not always the delicate
organ it is generally believed to be.
DIR. William Turner records in the
British Medical Journal a few cases
which point to the fact that wounds of
the heart are seldom, if ever, imme.
diately fatal. A child two years old
was brought to him with a sewing
needle driven into its heart, and the
needle was extracted without evident
harm resulting to the heart of the
child. Another case described is that
of soldier in whose heart bullet
was found imbedded six years after he
had been wounded, he having died
from quite another cause. Several
instances are also given of persons
living for months and years after their
hearts had been terribly laeerated.
Indeed. neither gunshot iniur-
les nor penetrating wounds bring
the heart at once to a standstill so
that this part of the animal organism
is apparently not its most vital strue-
ture.
