pie. There had been no party, no Sec
ton, no creed; the men who fought
with Grant and with Lee, with Sher-
man and with Johnston, with Sheridan
and with Jackson, had marched shoul-
der to shoulder, battling for the cause
of humanity as against oppression;
Protestant and Catholic, Jew and Cen
tile, Christian and inidel, all fought
the war, and the youth Of the land
rallied around the old flag. The Re
publicans, he said, call upon the people
to vote to indorse the war administra-
ton of President Mckinley. He, as a
Democrat, called upon them to vote
to indorse the freedom of Cuba-to vote
to strike the shackles from the labor
ing men of California, and by so doing
vote the Democratic ticket. Forty
thousand, he said, had volunteered for
the war from California and adjoining
States, and no questions were asked
as to whether they were Democrats or
Republicans, and they had asked no
questions as to whether or not any
party was to make political capital out
Of the victories that might be won for
them. They had listened to the cries
of down. -trodden people, and casting
politics and party aside, had rallied
around the flag in its hour of peril.

ments for what he called honest money
He said that in the memory of mer
before him, time was when men knew
| not what want meant. In that time
| two streams ran quietly side by side
not streams of water, but of gold anG
silver. Then the unscrupulous, in or
! der to get control Of the two streams
| set about to divert one of them, and
their scheme was successfully accom-
plished in 1878, when silver was de-
monetized, Then it was that hard
| times began. Interest was made pay
| able in gold, and the prices for the
products of the farm had dropped, and
as the farmers had nothing with which
| to purchase the products of the
factories, the latter were obliged to
close down. The silver had been turned
out of the stream of commerce, and
the gold left had increased in value un-
til the products of the country were
practically valueless, and the farmer
| could raise no money on his growing
crops or livestock, because there was
no sale for them. The banker was the
man who had profited by diverting the
silver stream, and the farmer and the
laboring man were the ones who suf-
fered from it.
In speaking of the condemnation of
Judge Mcguire by the Republicans be-
cause of his alleged single tax proclivi-
ties, the speaker called attention to the
| fact that it would take a two-thirds
vote Of the Legislature before the prop
osition to change the Constitution could
be submitted to the people. and that if
! it finally came to a vote Of the people
the Governor Of the State could cast
just one vote-no more
The cry raised by the Republican
leaders against the single tax, he said,
was raised because they We're afraid

ance within the reach of the people
They had sent up a cry against the
initiative and referendum. because the
initiative and referendum would give
the people for whom the laws are made
chance to adopt or to repudiate the
laws made for their own government.
Republican papers throughout the
State, the speaker said, pointed to the
fact that nobody could say one word
against the record of Henry II. Gage
1t reminded him of the small boy
whose mother had given him % cents
to refrain from mentioning the nose of
gentleman who was expected to din
ner. When the gentleman arrived the
boy burst out laughing, and said the
money was easily earned because the
man had no nose. Gage, he said. had
no record to attack.
In speaking of the proposed extension
of territory, Mr.. Afford said he agreed
with General Barnes that the United
States should retain the Philippines.
He called attention to the fact that ex-
cepting Alaska and Hawaii. eyery foot
OF new territory acquired by the United
states had been acquired under Demo-
cratic administrations. The main ar
gument advanced by the Republicans,
he said, is that the Administration
which had brought the war to a sue
cessful termination ought to be ap-
proved, ratified and maintained at the
ballot box. Many of them. he said. did
not know the war was over, and would
probably be as long in learning II as
they had been in learning that the Civil
War was over.

old Democratic farmer had pricked the
bubble and rolled up a majority OF 5oo

history of two years ago would be re-
peated at the polls this fall, and that
at the polls, where no marching
nor shouting was required, the unterrl-
fed Democracy would again step TO the
front and score a victory. Senator

larged to twenty i've members, but re-
tanning all the old favorites, will begin
weeks engagement The company
still has it's favorite band and orches-

new uniforms. The company has con-
siderable new scenery also. The eX-
ceeding and fully deserved popularity
of the troupe, when it was here before,
insures it good patronage on this oc-
casion. The play for tonight will be

The Governor, however, did not aff1x

it is understood. take it with him to

time has arrived. 1t is positively as

endowed it with supernatural powers,
planting 1t near their dwellings that they
might not he struck by lightning, and the
Latin writer, LOnicerus, said II was very

The steadily increasing demand for

to new industry OF no insignificant
proportions. Some idea of the quantity
Of mistletoe that is made use of each Christ
mas may be Judged by the fact that
great city like London or New York i'm
ports over 100 tons each Yuletide. But
the mystic mistletoe which we hang on
our own chandeliers and under which we
essay the most audacious labial exercises is
really cousin to the European species and
is known TO the botanist and florist as
Phoradendron flavescens. 1t is smaller,
both in berry and leaf, than the English
plant, but one can kiss just as many girls
under 1t as one can under the genuine Eu-
ropean article
American mistletoe is found in great
quantities In New Jersey and southwark
through the Carolinas, in New Mexico and
in the Indian Territory Here 1t is gath
cred, packed in crates or barrels and ship
ped to the distributing agencies in the
larger cities. The English Inistletoe, how
ever, on account of its pearly white ber-
ries and its larger leaves, is more sought
after, and great quantities are shipped in
crates each winter from Liverpool The
price 1t brings in American markets by
the pound is usually from 25 to 80 cents.
Most of the holly used in America at
Christmas comes from Maryland, Virginia
and the neighboring southern states. A
certain amount of English holly is import.

plant across the herring pond are annual

sometimes grown to height of 40 feet.
AS each year holly enters more and more
into decorative designs for Christmas both
In the church and the household, the i'm

winter from the temperate southern states
has given birth to a new and important
industry. The increased demand for mis-

tivators of the plant make V shaped in
cision in the bark OF ordinary fruit trees
or In that of maple, poplar or Eastwood
and insert the seeds in the cavity. AS the
mistletoe is true parasite, living on the
sap OF other trees, in a few weeks the plant
begins its growth Its berries are about
the size of currants, white and translucent
and filled with viscid juice which serves

I'VE ASK YOU TO STAY" ter breakfast and
come back with green wreath that had
a red star in its center. Almost every
window in sight had its green wreath with
a red star for heart. Dodo was the
churchgoer of the twain. AS she pierced
her Sunday hat with a long pin she settled
the dinner hour with Nan.
While they We're talking the man over
head was walking to and fro with scarce
ly mutfled restlessness, which Dodo de-
clared got into her nerves. Then they
heard a door open and the same football
pass down the steps
II suppose the poor fellow has gone off
to play peace on earth and good will to-
ward man to a church full of rich people
who don't care copper WHISTLER he has a
crust of bread today or not"
Nan looked at her severely. upon my
word, Dodo, wouldn't let my imagina-
ton run entirely away with me just be-
cause man over our heads is given to
pacing all day in creaking shoes and the
janitor's wife called him the lonely gem
tleman. "
When Dodo got back from church, Nan
put her in charge of affairs while she made
one of those mysterious expeditions of
which Christmas day is always prolific
When she came back, Dodo was standing
by table in the kitchen staring tragical-
ly into an open paper bag.
Come look at this, Man," she said
gravely.
Nan walked toward her with apprehen-
sive quickness. OF course something had
gone wrong with the dinner.
