The Side Saddle Doomed.

The masculine world is now quite
accustomed (remarks the Medical
Press and Circular) to the cross
saddle position assumed by women
on "bikes," and thus it may be that
the side saddle for hoTse-riding Is
doomed to pass away. The fair
riders in California, at all events,
have formed a Gross-saddle Club,
each member of which pledges herself
to ride on horseback in no other
style. They hold that it is the most
sensible, comfortable and only
rational position by which horse
can be properly and gracefully rid

BAILEY DEFENDS SILVER.
Texas Congressman Addresses Andrew
jackson Democrats


CHESTER, Pa. Jan. 7.-Congress-
man j. W. Bailey, of Texas, met
with fattering reception at the
hands of the Andrew jackson Dem>
ocratic Association. of this city, last
night. A committee met him at the
station and escorted him to the Col.
onnade Hotel, where he was banquet>
ed. Later, at the Opera House,
John Moore, president of the associa>
ton, introduced Mr.. Bailey to large
audience.
Mr.. Bailey prefaced his remarks
by saying that it was considered
foolish to come to Pennsylvania to
spread the light of democracy among
the people. He would not attempt
he said to explain how the Republi>
can majority had grown so enor~
mously, but his purpose was to wins
dictate the regular organization of
the Democratic party and deny the
aspersions which have been cast up
on it for over twelve months.
BRYAN LIKENED TO JEFFERSON.
From the hour that the Chicago
Con vention &C journed," the speaker
said, Sin every town, village and
hamlet and city of this land it was
charged and repeated that we had
forsaken the traditional doctrine of
the Democratic party and old>line
Democrats bolted and fell out of the
ranks; but the truth is, we have
gone back to the faith of our fathers,
and our departure was from the false
| teachings of the last so years. In
departing from these false teaching
| the party simply returned to the
| faith of Thomas Jefferson and An
| drew Jackson. The same eplthets
which were hurled against Jefferson
are being cast against Bryan to,
| day."

Warning Notes Calling the Wicked
to Repentance.
Truthfulness Is the diamonds of
character.
Hypocrisy is cloak that is ragged
in the back.
A twenty dollar coat often covers
ive-cent soul.
A heart without love is like
violin without strings.
The man who talks most about
himself says the least.
A pious face is not infallible proof
OF a devout spirit.
The dullest man has in him some
thing original. 1t is sin.
From the windows of home we may
behold the heavenly city.
If consistency were the first and
great commandment, no man would
be converted.
Never disparage the commonplace
What is more commonplace than
mothers love.
Never hope to hold a neutral
position towards an evil; that which
you do not positively discourage,
you encourage.

WITH drowning-man-catching-at
a-straw air, some of the "reform"
organs are charging that it was the
carelessness of q Democratic Legisla-

however, by declaring that the Dem

sLANDBROUs CHARGES.

it seems that the Baltimore Manu-
facturers' Record, which has made
piles of money by publishing COM
plimentary things about the South
getting so much Doodle for so much
gush-has recently been doing some
talking in the opposite direction, in
timating that Southern people are a
bit shady in commercial transac-
tions, etc. We do not know whether
it says this on it's own hook or
whether it is paid by some enemy OF
the South to say it. AS we under
stand, the reflections go out as the
expressions of it's editor and, there
fore, are to be so treated.
The Record starts out with the
proposition that there are ION one
side millions of dollars of-idle money,
lying in banks and trust companies,
earning nothing for it's owners; on
the other, hundreds, if not thous-
ands, of tempting opportunities for

This condition it proceeds to at
tribute to business and Legislative
immortality In the South.
The slanderous charges of the
Record are met and rebuked by the

tuition, and perhaps other Southern
papers. From the CONSTITUTIONS
observations we copy the following
pertinent remarks:

The trouble with the Record is
that it has been advocating tine gold
standard, which has practically put
an end to all industrial enterprises in
this country. 1t finds its occupa-
ton of blooming" at so much line
destroyed, and now it turns savage
ly on the section that has been sup
porting it, and charges that we are
cursed with unjust laws and with
immoral sentiments in business mat
tiers.
GAS a matter of fact, the business
morality of the south is as high, and
it's sense of justice as keen as those OF
any other section OF the country or
of the world.
eve are not afraid that such
wholesale ISLANDERS will do the south
any harm In this matter, the
Record, which has fattened on south
ern advertising patronage, has over
leaped the mark. When conditions
are ripe for investment not all the
ISLANDERS that can be invented will
prevent the south from outstripping
all other sections of the country.
And this can be easily done without
the aid of boom advertisements In
