j. T.. JONES, democratic nominee for
congress IN the Second district has writ
ten splendid editorial on the causes of
defeat. He says the doodle book and the
COW were POOR issues on which to conduct
campaign. That two years ago the
deme cracy veered from it's moorings to
catca the populistic vote and other dis
cordant elements. Defeat came and left
the party ch ,otic mass without head or
issue. He adds that if the platform came
out IN opposition to the Dingley law. as.
serted the justice of an iucome TAX, op-
posed imperialism and annexation of
Philippines success would follow in many
congressional districts.
Mr.. Jones has clear perception OF the
situation. Our state convention was run
too much IL the line of La Follettelsm
and Schlllingism and TOO little on the
line OF genuine democratic principle.

Pooh-Bah would SLY, is Calculated to
give vem-similitude to an unc3nvinc!ng
narrative" Early one Monday morn
ing the Dart, OF Dundee, a schooner of
" tons gross, left Peterhead on a voy-
age to Aberdeen, when one Of the crew
noticed an object which seemed very
like whale. Thinking discretion the
better part of ralor, the captain ran
TO the helm and altered the course
Having done this, he went below and
procured double-barreled gun, which
he discharged at the monster. This was
p5o much for the sea serpent, which
reared itself out of the water to the
height or 90 feet and perceived the
vessel. So surely was this the case
tliat one OF the crew sketched the mon
ster for the enterprising Edinburgh
Evening Dispatch. The monster
was nearly as thick as n horse
and his eyes were of shark
ing green. 1t had hap-like ears.
and feelers ar fins about ten feet from
the head, while about Is or 20 feet lower
down the body was another and stronger
set. The animal followed the Little
craft for about ten miles. and then
disappeared. much to the relief of the
crew.
