If what Mr.. Barrie, the writer, says

At the dinner given in his honor in
Philadelphia, Col. A. X. Mcclure, the
editor of the Philadelphia Times, told
the following story relating to his first
newspaper venture, started fifty years
ago: 81 we'll remember the case OF a
frugal farmer of the bunker persua-
sion who was sufficiently public-spirit-
ed to subscribe for the Sentinel for six
months to get the paper started, but at
the end of that period he had calculated
the heavy expenses of gathering the
ripening harvest and decided to stop
his paper for a while. L need not say
that he was enthusiastically confronted
with many reasons why man Of his
intelligence and influence should not
be without the county newspaper, but
he yielded only to the extent of further
considering the matter with his wife.
He returned in few days and spread
sunshine around the editorial chair by
saying that his wife had decided to con-
tinue for another six months, as the
paper would be very handy in the fall
for tying up her apple butter crooks"

The presence in San Francisco Of
President Mccoy Of Pitcairn island on
one of those rare visits which the de-
scendants of the Bounty mutineers
make to the outside world calls atten-
ton to the remarkable peace and hap
piness in which this Pacific colony
dwellS. There are 130 in the island re-
public, living as a single family, very
devout, healthy and contented. There
is said to be no contention from years
end to years end and no one is concern
ed with what he or his neighbor owns.
There is no advantage in the accumu
lation of goods or money, and of the
latter little exists and is not valued
very highly by it's posSessor. Seldom an
ilhabitant ever visits the rest of the
wbrld, and when he does it makes him
homesick for the peace and content Of
his island again. Bellamyites and 9TH
ers with the community fever should
note that the Pitcairn republic is a sue
cess-frst, because it is completely iso-
lated, and, second, because the colo
nists are not each loaded down With
too many theories about government.

The Union of Democrats.

The Buffalo Evening Times, which
did good service in the late campaign
for the Democratic cause. copies q
recent Daily News article upon the ne
cessity for united action among Demo-
Gratis, and editorially remarks as fol-
lows:
"It'behooves the Democratic party to
prepare for a conflict which will be
marked, as was the battle of 1896. by
the use of unlimited sums Of money dis
trloHted by trusts, corpora tionS and
SyndlcateS on one side and the eXertions
of self-sacrificing men appealing to rea-
son and patriotism ON the other. Agi-
tation and education must work in har-
mony with the party organization. We
will need all our strength. Let it not
be wasted"
The campaign for 1900 cannot be COM
menced too early. We all feel, no mat
ter which way We voted, that the re-
suit of the presidential election of last
November was unsatisfactory and in
definite. The popular majority of Nc
Kinley and Bryan was but trife of
the aggregate vote; While of the forty
five States only the electoral votes of
twenty-five were given in their entire
ty for the successful candidate.
The election, in fact, determined
nothing, except that the wholesale out
put of money and influence by the COM
bined banks, trusts and syndicates tenn
porarily deluded and induced enough
voters to give Mckinley a sufficient
majority. The issues of the Chicago
platform of 1896 are yet on trial ana
uncondemned before the American peo-
pie. When, with a fair contest and 4
full hearing, and a mature deliberation.
they shall be rejected, we may despair
Of the republic.
There are abundant evidences on ey-
cry side that Democrats are uniting
Ior hnal effort. With the Mckinley
We can wage a perpetual
warfare, with every hope of our grow
ing III strength and profiting by its alb
sufd errors. The extra session. now
resolved on, ought to unite Democrats
as much as 1t is sure to divide and dis
tract our opponents. We echo the en- |
couraging advice of the Times. Let rs |

HONOR OLD HICKORY.
LEADERS OF DEMOCRACY or
SERVE JACKSON'S BIRTHDAY.
Candidate the Guest
of the Evening-Governor AItgeld
Shares Honors with the Noted
Nebraskan-Party Faith Laid Down.
Gather at a BANQUET.

William j. Bryan was the guest of
honor at the Jackson banquet of the
Bryan League at the Trement House in
Chicago the other night. Many Of tho
distinguished party leaders were present.
Mr.. Bryan sat at the head of the festal
board, and in a speech of about twenty
minutes length outlined the present atti-
tude and future policy of the silver men.
Other speakers discussed various phases
of the question, but it was Mr.. Bryan's
speech that commanded the closest atten-
ton, for it was understood that his ut
terances were to sound the keynote of
the next campaign. And he did this in no
uncertain tones. He declared for the CON
tinuance Of the silver crusade, and with
much emphasis said there was no place
in the Democratic party for those who
advocated the gold standard The ma
Jority must rule, he said, and the princi-
pies enunciated by the Chicago conIen-
ton of last year represented the con vic
tions of the majority of the Democratic
party.
Gov. Altgeld's speech was the most m
portant of those that followed. His theme
was 1.-The Mission of the Minority Par
ty,' which he declared was to larry for
ward great reforms. He paid his re-
spects to the corporations and money
power of the East, and declared that the
Standard Oil Company and other kindred
organizations had controlled the Demo-
cratic conventions of 1884, 1888 and 1892,
and had tried to control the one of 1896,
but had failed. He touched on the Cleve
land administration, saying it had proved
the plant tool of Wall street. "t
Over 400 men sat down to the banquet.
which did not begin until 10 o'clock, and
it was midnight before Mr.. Bryan arose
to speak. The speakers table was in the
form of a crescent from which projected
four tables extending the length of the
dining room. The tables were lavishly
decorated with American Beauty roses
and maiden hair ferns, and in front of
Mr.. Bryan was great bank of the form
er. On the wall at his rear was a large
picture of Jackson enveloped in the folds
of the American flag, and along the side
walls were similar pictures of Bryan.
Sewall and Gov. Altgeld. Flags We're
also hung in festoons about the walls.
An orchestra of ten pieces furnished mu
sic during the progress Of the banquet.
From to 10 o'clock Mr.. Bryan held Il
reception in Parlors J and X, and they
were thronged.

WILL EQUAL NIAGARA.
A Wonderful Project TO Re Carr

A Wonderful Project to Be Carried
Out in st. Lawrence County.
Niagara will have to look after her
laurels. A scheme has just been con-
summated for the development of from
100000 to 100000 horse power by the
construction Of a canal between the St.
Lawrence and Grass rivers, in the town
Of MaSsena, st. Lawrence County. and
more power may be developed if need
ed.
Last May a company was formed for
this purpose and almost unlimited DOW
ers were given to it by the Legislature.
Foreign capital was then attracted and
the project has thus come to a head.
The two rivers parallel each other at
the point where the canal is to be con-
structed and are from three to four
miles apart. The ST. Lawrence is Al
feet higher than the Grass river and by
the construction of the canal enough
water power will be obtained to gener-
ate between 100000 and 100000 horse
power of electric energy. There will
be room for large industries and a greas
industrial city Will rapidly follow tbs
out Of the project.
