ALWAYS AGAINST WAR.
Democrats Have Always sulked In
the Rear ut Critical
Times.

The issues of the approaching con-
gressional election are sufficiently de-
fined to show that the democratic
party intends to oppose not only the
conduct and management of the war
but the policies necessary to harvest
its fruits. This is not the first time
the party has taken this position. 1t,
did so in every election that occurred
during the civil war. The democratic
state conventions of 1862 attacked the
conduct of the war and Abraham Lin
coin by name. 1t was the second year
of his administration and of the war,
an ''off year" in politics, and they
hoped to succeed. They elected only
IS members out of 1856. The republic
ans, the war party, had clear ma
jority of 25. which was large for that
time. In 1864 the democrats adopted
the same policy, declaring the war for
the preservation of the union to be n
failure and arraigning Mr.. Lincoln's
administration for neglect of the sol
diers The national platform con-
tanned the following:
Resolved. That the shameful disregard
of the administration OF its duty In re-
spect to our felow-citizens who now are,
and long have been. prisoners of war, in
suffering condition. deserves the severest
reprobation, on the score alike OF public
policy and common humanity"
This was the way in which the stay
at-home> democrats Of that day, the
Hendrickses, Voorheeses, Vallanding-
hams and others arrigned President
Lincoln for his shameful neglect" of
the soldiers. The Turpies, the Baileys
and their kind are pursuing the same
course to-day toward President Me-
Kinley. AS the result of the demo-
cratic policy in 1864 Mr.. Lincoln was
reelected by an overwhelming popular
majority and 212 electoral votes to 81
for his opponent, and the democrats
elected only 35 out of 1855 members of
congress.
What arc the great questions now
before the country and people? Not
to mention domestic issues, including
the tariff and money questions, both
important, there are the questions
growing out of the war-the questions
of national expansion in territory and
commerce. OF holding and governing
our new possessions, of constructing
the Nicaragua canal, of building up
our merchant marine and of starting
the ration on its new career Of prog
rsss. The democratic party ignores
all these and other kindred questions
of national Importance and asks for
popular support on the contemplate
platform os opposition to the conduct
of the war and denunciation of Presi-
dent Mckinley. If the American peo-
pie have not refrigerated in patriot
ism they will answer them as they did

A Good RattIesnake story.

Mr.. Beaver, an old gentleman, indie
pendent, stalwart, heroic, reared sew
e9al sons, who by both practice and in
heritance were very wicked, made no
pretense to religion and had no regard
for morality. Son one occasion John,
one of the sons, was bitten by rattle
snake. but, being accompanied by sew
eral of his brothers, was carried home
to his father Immediately. The old
gentleman became alarmed and think
ing his son in all probability would
soon be dead, sent hastily for the par
son, who, being affected even more with
surprise than qualification, ben<every
energy to comply with the call Be-
ing met on his arrival by Mr.. Beaver,
the father of the family, who, after
explaining the misfortune of his son,
exhorted him to pray for the afflicted
one Immediately, the parson lost no
time, and soon the entire family were
bent in prayer. After praying long,
fervently and earnestly for the speedy
recovery of John, the parson concluded
somewhat in this wise: Nov, Lord
we thank Thee for rattlesnakes, and
especially for the rattlesnakes that bit
this man Beaver; and now, Lord, be
be pleased to send another great old
rattlesnake to bite old man Beaver, for

HIDING HERESIES.
Free SiIverites Arc Keeping Their
Pet Issue I'm the Back
ground.

There has been studied effort on
the part of democracy in all parts of
the country to neglect rational issues
in the present campaign and confine
debate, if possible, to local issues. The
trouble comes from the gold demo-
Gratis. They are so bitterly opposed to
silver that local issues of any kind
dwarf into nothiugness in comparison.
Hence the shrewder of the democrats,
who are for democracy before and
after everything else, lay low and
cloud the fight with local issues.
But tho silverites appreciate the sit
uation, as is shown by an extract from
the paper owned and controlled by
Senator Stewart, of Nevada. This
frank paper, called the Silver Knight
Waterman, says:
IF II is the purpose of the temperate
leaders In New York to weaken their OPP
ponents this year by the defeat of state
issues, and then in 1860 to place the demo-
cratic party of the Empire state in the
thickest of the fight. as marked out by
the national convention, the result may
prove their wisdom. There is nothing in
the New York democratic platform which
shows the slightest opposition to any
portion of the Chicago platform, but
on the contrary, its declaration OF contin-
ued allegiance to democratic principles Is
a substantial endorsement OF the latest an
nouncement OF these principles by he
national convention Of 1896 1t must not be
forgotten that New York Is the enemy's
country, and that II he can be dslodged
In that state by any method short of re-
nuaoiation of bmetallism pure and SIM
pie, the friends of free coinage OF both
metals will then be in better condition for
the great struggle Of 1900"
That presents the situation plainly.
The democrats have not repudiated
the silver heresies, nor will they. When
the national convention meets the sill
verites of the west and southwest will
hold the balance of power and free sill
YER will be in the platform in char
acters good and plain. The safe way
at present is to kill the issue at its
borning. Elect republicans all along
the line, ard especially republican
congressman. To do otherwise is to
provoke discussions and meddling in
the lower house, to the great detri-
mem of business everywhere.
AS whole, democracy cannot
handle national questions in broad
and statesmanlike way. Better keep
them out OF power for another gen.

ReneRndc Democrats.

The country is still standing on its
arms, waiting to SEE whether Spain
will yield TO it's demands or force it
into war again. But the democrats Of
New York refuse to discuss national
affairs. They turn sullenly to state
issues" The national good or evil
with which the situation is fraught is
unreasonable; yet the New York dem
ccrats deprecate consideration of that
question and profess to be absorbed
in estate issues" There is still before
the country, kept there by renewed
declarations for free silver on the part
Of nine-tenths of the democracy, a
financial issue that the supporters OF
honest money say threatens national
dishonor and commercial disaster,
and the democracy says is the only
national salvation. But the New York
democrats stink from mentioning 1t,
and say that estate issues" alone are
properly before the public. Yet In
this election there are to be chosen
in the state of New York 81 members
of the house Of Representatives, nearly
q tenth Of the house. and one of New
Ycrk's two senator's. Was there ever
so pusillanlmous flight from the po-
litjcal defense of a nation, as the party

Collapse of Free silver.

The democratic managers who are
trying to run the western end Of the
party In the interest of free silver
wouli do well to ponder on the com
plete collapse of the cause in the east.
Nearly all the democratic conventions
and candidates in that section Of the
country arc either ignoring the sub
ject or coming out frankly against the
Chicago platform. The Baltimore Sun
prints an interview with Mr.. r. B. Tip
petit, democratic nominee for con-
gress in the Second Maryland district,
embracing part of the city Of Balti-
more. in which he says: I'm order
that there may be no misapprehension
as to my position on the financial ques-
ton, should the same be made an issue
In this campaign, ! wish to say that I
am absolutely in favor Of the gold
standard" In like manner Mr.. +. C.
Stevens, of Attica, N. Y, in declining
the democratic nomination for state
senator, assigns as a reason "the adop-
tion of new ideas and principles to
which I cannot conscientiously sub
scribe" and cites the free silver plank
Of the Chicago platform as one. And
SO the lost cause continues to LOSE

at Is believed" he adds. that the
democrats will sustain losses in thu
extreme west, but to what extent Is
mere conjecture, and at this time
there is not sufficient Information IN
the possession of anyone~to form
reliable opinion" The fact is that the
drift in the west of late has been
steadily away from the democratic
party, and the returns next month
from that locality are likely to be
n surprising revelation to those who
have counted on republican reverses.
In the east, too, the democratic dali
lance with Organism is pretty GER
tain to cost the party dear, for the
great mass of the people are ready to
stamp upon the Chicago platform with
greater emphasis than they did in 1896.
However, giving the correspondent all
he claims. it will be seen that he falls
somewhat short of making out dem
ocratic majority in the next house.
On the other hand, republicans will
show timely prudence by recognizing
the possibility Of substantial demo-
cratic gains unless proper effort is
made to defeat them. Senator Hanna,
of Ohio, chairman of the republican
national committee, and one Of the
most competent and alert of political
managers, has pointed out some of the
dangers ahead. When asked for his
views he said:
you will see the exact situation CO the
campaign at present when recall to you
.hat In 1896 there were GO congressional dis
tricts In which members were elected by
n majority OF less than 1000 votes This
was true OF democrats as well as repub-
leans. The maiority OF these districts
were carried by less than 900 plurality, and
you can see at once how important II is to
arouse interest and activity In these dis
tricts. The republicans must not let
the democrats get ahead of them In work"
1t is in these close districts that the
democrats will put forth especial eff
fort, and there they must be watched
and their schemes frustrated. Over
confidence and lack OF vigilance may
endanger republican supremacy in
congress. But with the conditions so
clearly understood, with the people
aroused as they have not been in a
generation by the glorious results OF
the war, and with patriotic indigna-
ton al the cowardly and semitreason-
able attitude of large portion of the
democratic party with regard to the
conduct OF the war and the great and
inspiring issues now confronting the
nation, voters should not hesitate in
giving their support to an ndmiristra-
tor which represents the noblest
American purposes. The way to
strengthen the hands Of President Nc
kinney and assure the forward march
Of the United States along the path
of its splendid destiny Is to send to the
house of representatives strong ma
jority in close sympathy with the adj
minstration's views.-Troy Times.

Good Advice.

Life is too short and full of care and
sorrows for one to be the cause of ad-
ding one feathers weight of trouble to
another's load. Will Carlton, the
poet, IN the "First Settlers Story" we
believe il was, makes the old man say,
in speaking of his wife, that she used
to stand around and boss the job, and
by her kind words lifted whole tons.
Kind words have the same effect the
world oyer. They lift fellow out of
the slough of despond; they break the
stitfened, set features of the worried
into a pleasant hopeful smile. And
how much better it is to cultivate the
habit of treating everyone as though
a time would come when we should
lay down the mortal frame; and that
to leave behind n character and rep
utation of fairness, truth, and honor
is the most enduring of riches.

Good Goods, Well Advertised,

Going the rounds of the press is an
item stating that the Royal Baking
Powder Company is the largest adver-
tiser i'm America. OF course, the bust
ness itself must be an enormous one to
Justify so great an expenditure in
publicity. There is no fallacy more
dangerous than that success can be
gained by advertising an article of in
different merit. But, given an article
of the highest quality like Royal Bak-
ing Powder, which when the house
keeper has once used she finds if she
desires the best food she cannot do
without, then the greatest measure of
success is attained by keeping it con-
tinually before the public. Great merit
and good advertising are both essential
to make a product great success. The
Royal Baking Powder possessing the
first, its proprietors haye wisely used
the second, and the result IS apparent
throughout the land. The Royal COM
pany believe that there is no medium
for advertising like the newspapers,
since in these enlightened days every
body reads them.
