1t was once said that you could
always trust the democratic party
to make a big blunder. This may
have been true, but it is certainly
true that, within the last few months
the republicans have surpassed all
other parties in making blundels.
Thousands of patriotic demo
Gratis voted for Mckinley because
they wished to defeat the obnoxious
measures proposed by the Chic go
platform and desired that this
country should enjoy the blessings
of a sound currency. The cam
paign was made upon the currency
issue. The republicans, however
were no sooner installed in Office
than they commenced their selfish
crusade in favor Of protected mo
nopolies. The fact that by extrava
CANT and unnecessary appropria-
tions, th9y had rendered the ex
penses of the government greater
than the receipts, was made the
basis of the cry for more revenue.
Under the pretense of more revenu9

tariff bill the sole object of which
is to protect the favore monopo

expect it to furnish the necessary
revenue, utprOpose to once more
afflict the people with the Infamous
stamp tax. They had the hest Of
opportunities to entrench Themselves
in the position which they hold, but
thew have thrown the opportunity
away, and have literally dug the |
grave Of their own party. They |
infuse the poison of protection into !

pretending to protect the laboring |
classes they over burden them with
taxes in favor of monopolies. In
their selfish greed, they destroy

1t is reported that some of the
prominent democratic leaders OF
Virginia are opposed to endorsing
the Altgeld features Of the Chicago
platform. This is certainly a good
indication.
It's hardly to be expected that
the men who rushed headlOng.
summersaulting over each other In
their mad rush to embrace new
doctrines which promised success,
should all at once try to summer
sault backwards to regain the posi-
ton which they formerly held
This feat would be too difficult
1t is however encouraging to see
them abandon some Of the ObnOX
ious doctrines which they so eagerly
embraced. Let the good work
continue. After eliminating all the
other bad features, may we not
hope that they will have sufficient
courage to abandon the Gree and
unlimited coinage of silver doc
trine? When this shall have been
done, the democratic party will
again be standing upon firm ground
and may hope to again command
the support and confidence Of tie
people.

Base Ingratitude.

Where can you find such in
gratitude as is exhibited by men
who have appropriated to THIN
selves the doctrines of the populist
party and then deny that they are
populists? 1t was certainly bad
enough to appropriate the planks
of the populist platform and in
corporate them into the Chicago
platform, Int it is infinitely
worse, after you have discarded
the principles which you heretofore
advocated and have embraced those
of the pOpulists, to deny that you
are in utilization with these people.
Such base ingratitude will surely
receive ils deserved reward.

True Story of What Was Needed to Get a

 A pretty girI living near New York is affected with a large number of would be beaus, but has no use for any of them. For one, in particular, she had less than no use.
 He showed mp one evening in a bi- cycle suit, and while he sat in the par Tor with the pretty girl the pretty girls little brother sewed the bicycle cap firm ly down to the corner of the hall table and then dumped a1l the oil from the callers bicycle lamp. But MT Blank never murmured while he picked the stitches from his cap as he said good night and walked the 211a miles homo without a complaint
 Of course the pretty girl thought that Mr. Blank would never show up again and gave little brother half dozen bear hugs as reward for bouncing him. But ten days later MT Blank appeared again as if nothing had happened, this time in evening dress with 8 silk hat. It was an awful hot night, but little brother was on deck just the same, and 8 thin slice of limburger cheese went under the lining of that hat before the evening was over.
 Mr Blank did not depart until Il 80 that evening, but nothing was ever heard of the cheese. This time the pretty girl and little brother made bets that Mr. Blank would never call again, but Mir Blank did call again and with smile on his innocent, round face. At about g 80 little brother strolled into the par Tor and walking up to the clock pushed the hands around couple of hours ahead and strolled out again silently. Mir.

 Experience, said the man who had been telling tales of the sea, lis q great thing. But it gets ill the way sometimes. I'll never forget the last shipwreok l was in. 2
 "It must be terrible, " said the boy whom he was entertaining, to be adrift on the ocean.
 "It is rather trying to realize that land Is miles away, no matter whether you measure sideWise or straight down But this shipwreek wasn't on the ocean.
 But you said you had sailed the At lantie?"
 ssYes. That's where got my experi- ence. But it was on Lake Superior that l found myself with nothing to tie to except an old washstand. It was three days before 1 was picked up.
 Weren' you almost dead?"
 Pretty near, '
 From hunger2"
 Partly that, and l suffered some from thirst. But the most of it was hu- initiation. The first thing asked for was drink of water had suffered agonies. My throat was parohed and my tongue felt like a herring. One of the men in the boat looked at me as if he thought I was delirious, but when 1 re- peated my request he took 8 tin can, leaned over the side of the boat and dip ped me up a drink Then l realized for the first time that was on fresh water instead of salt and that there wasn't the least excuse for sane mans going thirsty minute Experience is a great thing, my boy. Never turn up your nose at it. But remember that it is as likely as not to run you into trouble if you haven't common sense as q compass to steer by Washington Star.

Crabs and Lobsters.

In selecting orustaoeans the inexperi- enoed housekeeper may be guided by a few easily remembered points. Lobsters that have not been long taken will re- spond to pressure of the finger on their eyes with a strong motion of the claws The heaviest are the best The cock lob ster, though generally smaller, has the higher flavor, the flesh is frmer, and it's color, when boiled, is of a deeper red than that of similar characteristics in the hen. The male may be known by his narrow, rather tapering tail, and also from the condition of the two up- permost fins which compose it. These in his case are hard and stiff, while those of the hen are soft, and the tail fan is much broader.
 The heaviest crabs are the best, and those of medium size sweetest. If light, they are watery. When in perfect condition, the joints of the legs are stiff, and the body has an agreeable smell The eyes, too, should look bright and firmly set. When they have dead ap- pearance and seem loose, the crab is stale. New York Post.
