Democrats and the War.

1t Is quite evident that the war ques-
zion was large enough TO dwarf all 9TH
or questions before the American peo-
pie during the late political campaign.
II will not do for Democrats to trus;
the theory that the influence of the war
On politics has spent its force. Indeed,
1t looks as though the war with Spain
and its results would be in the front
for several years TO come.
Democrats lost an opportunity by not
claiming the credit they deserved for
inauguraIing the Spanish war and for
aiding in winning the great victory
over the foreign foe. AS matter of
history no Republican can truthfully
deny that the Democrats in Congress
forced Mckinley from his pcace-at-any-
price policy and compelled him to take
a manly and patriotic attitude. AS Il
matter of history, it is also evidenced
that the Democrats failed to grasp the
advantage of their position, and hence
lost their chance for victory.
No greater mistake could be made
than for the Democratic party to allow
itself to be placed in the false position
of opposition to the war and IN obstruc-
ZIONIST i'll the matters growing out of
that war. Democrats were patriotic
and loyal They should claim the rec
ognition they deserve and refuse to be
side-tracked by the Republicans

Steel Rail Robbery.

There is no health in commerce when
1t is strangled by combines. Where
competition exists there is health. 1t is
an old and true saying that competition
is the life of trade. But there can be
no competition when trusts rule.
Lately a great pool has been formed
by the steel rail manufacturers of the
United States. What is the result? An
advance of 50 q ton on steel rails is
about to be made. Men who make steel
rails have been able to sell their prod
uct both at home and abroad for SIS a
ton.
What will they do now with the pool
in good working order? They will con-
tinue to sell steel rails to Europe for
SIS ton. but American consumers will
he forced to pay 500 a ton for the same
material Indeed, the added 50 will not
long satisfy the managers of the pool.
and they can demand S15 more if they
wish. And they will not long be salts
fed with an advance of 81. Robbers
want everything OF value on the prem
ises and steel rail robbers are no eXcep-
ton to the rule.
These steel rail makers are Hanna S
friends: they helped elect Mckinley.
Griggs is their man. or rather manni-
kin. Look out for a squeeze in steel
rails.

A City Mirage.

These hot days bring out the mirage
on the asphalt pavement of North High
street Many persons, perhaps, may not
be aware that North High street has a
mirage But it has, and it is not at all
necessary for one to go to the desert Of
Sahara or some other particularly hot
and far distant region to see things up
side down and to imagine big lake
out of dry land. 1T can all be done with
out leaving Columbus, and not a cent is
charged for it. Just saunter up North
High street any warm afternoon as far
as the university hill and then look
south.
There will be the mirage, street cars
running upside down, men and women
walking with their feet i'll the air, etc.
And on some days the whole street
seems to be a smooth and shining lake.
1t is all due, of course, to the refraction
and reflection of light through and from
the hot layers of air Immediately over
the asphalt, with cooler layers above
them. Your textbook on physics will
easily explain it to you if you have for
gotten the science of it. But the inter
esting fact is that you can see as fine a
specimen Of the wonderful mirage on
High street as one would want TO see
anywhere. Columbus Dispatch.

Tramps EearfullY Punished.

Tramps unlucky enough to fall into
the clutches Of the hard hearted authOri
ties of Berks county, Pa, are put
through such course Of sprouts that
they wish they had never been born.
They have to march up and down in the
prison yard for eight hours day, carry
ing rs pound boxes of sand, while a
grim overseer stands ready to prod them
if they falter. Edward Lawrence is the
man who bosses the operations for $50 a
month"; and the tramps think he is
Tartar. His salary is one of the best in
veStmentS the county ever made, for no
hummer, after serving under him for a
term, has ever come back, and the
warden S board and lodging bills are
growing lighter.
Under Lawrence system the tramps
are divided into two gangs each as
signed to d pile of sand AT the word of
command they fill their boxes and with
military precision pick them up and
march to the opposite side Of the yard,
passing each other in the center. The
boxes are emptied on the opposite piles
and refilled, after which the march
back to the starting point begins. This
operation is repeated without interval
of rest for four hours each forenoon and
like time in the afternoon. No con-
versation is permitted. Chicago News.

CURRENT MISCELLANY.

The clerks in the ticket redemption
office Of the Pennsylvania railroad are
constantly meeting with new expe-
riences in the way of requests made for
the redemption of unused tickets or por-
tions of tickets The request made a
few days ago surpassed anything of the
kind that the clerks had ever expe-
rienced and at the same time demon
strated the extraordinary business tact
Of the gentleman making the request.
A man who had purchased ticket for
ST. Augustine, Fla, appeared at the re-
demption window and produced an or
binary matchbox, which upon being
opened was found to contain some ashes
and few bits of charred cardboard.
He stated that he had purchased a ticket
from the company for ST. Augustine,
which had accidentally been burned
and requested another limits stead. The
only evidence to substantiate his state
ment were the ashes and the two bits Of
cardboard, the one bearing & number
and the other the words EST. Angus
tine An investigation revealed that
ticket for that point corresponding in
number to the number upon one of the
burned relics had been sold, and after
some correspondence with the connect
ing roads over which the ticket had
been issued new one was issued to the
man.-Philadelphi Record.

OUR FARMERS.
THE FARMER And FARM LIFE.

The farmer is his own dictator. He
rises at such an hour in the mornin e
as he thinks the duties of the
day demand and performs such
tasks as his Judgment dictates
will best advance his interests. He
ceases at night, too, many times, be-
cause he must, either from exhaustion
or because nature kindly draws the
the curtain Of night and prevents con-
tinued labor. An exchange says, 1t an
employer in the city were so exactlng
multitudes would go on strike. The
farmers day is too long. eyes," says
the old farmer, ''but it can't be help
ed.'' Irregularity and too much under
taken are the difficulties. 1T have
sixty acres of corn" sound bigger
than six or ten. And yet the ten
may be more profitable than a much
larger amount. A man will not, can
not, do his best when muscle and
brain are overtaxed. Speaking from
experience, best results were obtain
ed on a dairy farm when barn work
began at $50 a. m. and ceased at not
later than $50 p. N. The hired man
gave satisfactory work, not only be-
cause he was willing but was in con-
dition to do so. Farm labor should
begin at stated hour and cease at
fixed time, varied perhaps as the sea-
son demands. If there were system
and plan regarding farm work results
would be better, that wearing grind"
would have it's end and the youth Of
the farm would not be SO ready to seek
other employment. Farmers will
have to work out their own salvation.
If some systematic farmer in COM
munity would shorten his day and by
wise management prove by results
that farming could, under such regu-
lation, be more successful, his exam
pie would soon be followed. The far
mers greater need is to learn that
shorter time intelligently spent is bet
ter than a long, long day dragged
through when mind and body are SO
weary that profitable thinking is out
Of the question, and labor without
thought will never give the best re-
suits.

The Worrying Habit.

A prime necessity of our permanent
freedom from worrying is the possession
Of the personal quality commonly known
as sand. If man has not been endowed
with sand by nature, he must pick it up
for himself. Nobody is going to give
him any, but he can do this easier than
he thinks.
Most Of the things we worry over are
only bugbears that fade and disappear
upon the first attack. Herein lies the
first secret of success-in attack-and
the great. secret lies in persistence, in
keeping always at work. The man who
actually does this, wasting no time, will
find the first thing he knows that he's
stopped worrying, and he laughs a lit
tie as he says to himself that he's got
no time to worry, and the next thing he
knows he finds his sandbox is no longer
empty, he's actually got some sand of
his own, and then he is somebody and
begins to find some solid satisfaction in
life. New York Sun.
