1t occurs to me that the fight between
the two greater parties in the nation to-day
is really but conflict between monopoly
as represented by Republication and the
people as represented by Democracy. The
battle for the use of both metals as form
ing the basis for the currency of the country
is as much an anti-clsss, an anti monopoly
fight as is the opposition to the tariff robbers
and the various trusts that are to-day DOM
mating national legislation.

Eighteen Hundred Homeless.

Petersburg Nov. 1S.-It is estimated
that about 1900 persons were rendered

the suburban islands and the outlying

wind from the sea which drove the
waters up the stream, sweeping away
several bridges.

The Democratic Creed.

Henry Watterson, editor of the Louis
vile Courier Journal, who has abandoned
the fight against free silver in the Demo
cratic party, of which he was the most
active, il not the ablest, leader. because
Kentucky's voters elect to follow the
Chicago platform and to stand by Mr..
Bryan, of Nebraska, :" gives the following
concise definition of the political faith
which has come down to the present gen.
Grafton from Jefferson and jackson:
Meanwhile certain principles, which
stand hack of party issues and give the
breath of life to party leaders, remain upon
the scene as actual and vital as they e, er
were-immortal, for truth can never die.
And here are three simple propositions In
which good government must entrench it
self, from which it must draw its susten-
ance, if we are to turn the corner of the
new century republic in both the sub
stance and the spirit which were designed
by the makers of the Constitution: First,
the Government has no right, either equi-
table or legal, to tax the people except to
RAISE uOuOy lOI lbo OHn cuPpOA11 OfOA y
dollar of taxation diverted from this pur-
pose is robbery, and it is equally important
that the money legally collected shall be
honestly applied.
Second. the right OF the people to local
government is an ibalienable right-to
local options in the counties, TO home rule
in the cities, to all rights in the State not
expressly delegated to the General Govern
ment-and the preservation of this right
OF local self government is essential to that
just equilibrium between liberty and law
which is the corner stone of our system OF
Federal and State institutions.
Third, the money of the country must
be good money, circulating everywhere, un-
questioned and unquestionable, recognized
at once and taken at its full value, and to
attain this recognition and acceptance it
must consist of gold and silver and paper,
the whole of interchangeable value, each
convertible into the other on demand and
freely circulating side by side.

To be sure, we make blunders-
but we cure them. That's it. You
take no sort of risk.
Thousands know that we kept a
pretty good store, even years ago,
when the volume of business was
small-counted THE BEST STORE,
though odd, because we made your
satisfaction the one test. Goods
falling short of that were to be
brought back, no matter how much
loss to us was entailed.
Year byyear the volume of bust
ness has grown; buying power
has increased - there has been
growing advantage to you in deal
ing here because what savings we
make we share literally. In good
times and bad we have never sac
rificed quality for price. Couldn't.
For you are still urged to bring
wrong things back-it would be
childish to sell wrong things know
ingly.
Thinking of gift times now. Gift
things of all things should be right
not necessarily costly, but in good
taste. This store is never more
necessary than during holiday times.
1t is so easy to make mistakes dur
ing the ruShed-for-tim davS that
one is in danger of buying gaudy
things, despite usual good judgment.
Safest to 60 where gaudiness does
not enter.

Yesterday the detectives visited the
