UNITED DEMOCRACY.
The Party still stands by the Dec
larations Made I'm the StruG-
gle of 1896.

The democratic party was never
more unit.in purpose and work than
it is at the present time. 1t was united
on the question of freedom for Cuba;
it was united on demanding that ret
ribution be administered to her for the
sinking of the Maine and the murder
of 266 American seamen. 1t stood
united in favor of the most vigorous
policy in the prosecution of the war
and to the extent that the national adj
ministration has carried out the will
of the people, has been and is as united
in its support as is the republican
party. The democratic party is united
upon the principles of the Chicago
platform. The issues upon which the
party battled for victory but which
met with temporary defeat in 1896,
are still alive and are the issues Of
1soS-99 and 1900.
No scheme of government and no
principle which fails to recognize the
interests of the toiling masses can be
enduring in this country. The demo
cratic party still stands by the prin-
ciple that would abolish government
by injunction. The democratic party
stillbe lieves that our system of curren-
cy and the unequal coinage of gold and
silver at our minis are crying wrongs
for which there must be redress be.

question. The Dingley bill is a revenue

justice and equality and neither the
fever of war nor the temporary vapor-
ings of those who discourse with
vagueness "our new responsibilities"
or of "the duties providentially laid
upon us" will detract from the main
issue. The greatest reforms of the
future will be accomplished in deal
ing with our domestic affairs and in
handling them properly and we need
not lose sight either of maintaining
our relations with the rest Of the

If the United States and England should
form an alliance, the combined strength
would be so great that there would be little
chance for enemies to overcome us. In like
manner, when men and women keep up their

blood, builds up the muscles, steadies the
nerves and increases the appetite. Try it.

The Barbour & Harkins' version of
the Capital Theatre, Little Rock, soon.
Advices from New York, Boston and
Philadelphia tell of grand and con-
sistent performance which has simply
packed the theatres with the most con-
sentative patrons. The fact is, Mrs.
Stoves story has never before been
told upon the stage in its proper dig
nifty and unbiased beauty. AS the play
incompetent producers, the respectable
managers did not think 1t worth while
to attempt a legitimate production,
especially when to do so would involve
a big expense and bad prospect of
competing with counterfeit companies.
The present authors and management
have, however, risked the venture and
been amply rewarded, for the public
has given apr roval and the new story
(which should have been the old one)
has dealt the death blow to dogs, dom
keys, double Uncle Toms, freaks and
other monstrosities which have hereto
lore ulSgrdceu the greatest pastoral
of our history. The New York Sun of
May 9th says: "The standard drama
of slavery days is at the Star Theatre
for it's second week in new form, in
accordance with modern methods Of
stage craft, and with its former twenty
scenes reduced to one for each five acts.
But the story of the old slave, as origin
allv told bv Mrs Stowe remains essen
TALLY the same, and there seems to be
something in it that retains a hold on
the hearts of the people everywhere"

happy hearts. Darkened windows and
brilliant gas light, prettily dressed
women and many happy faces made
everything bright within, and the rain

A Good Memory.

A well-known clergyman tells the
following characteristic anecdote of
Mr.. Gladstone. A party of younger
men than the great statesman once
had the impudence to chaff him on his
devotion to Homer. The narrator was
one of the group. Mr.. Gladstone took
their nonsense very amiably, chatting
and laughing with them. Homer" he
said 81 believe 1 could go on at al
most any place you could start me-"
Then to the amazement and horror of
the narrator, who happened to be sit
ting next to him, he turned toward
him with the single word "try." 81
was never so taken aback in all my
life," the clergyman continues. HE
had paid me out for my impudence in
chaffing him. i had not looked at Ho-
mer for twenty years-and now to be
put on at a moments notice! And
by Mr.. Gladstone! However, pulled
myself together, and by good luck re-
membered two lines, which repeated
in rather faltering tones. "I know!
know! Sixth book Of the Iliad-

Then he shut his eyes and poured forth

CURED OF CONSUMPTION.
Successful Tests OF the Dis
cOyery of DR.. j. B. Murphy,
of Denver.

Chicago, Nov. 4-Dr. J. B. Murphy's
new treatment for coneumptives has ap-
parently worked it's first cures. The pa
tients are VIM. B. Purcell and ]. G. Ed
wards, who have been undergoing the
treatment for little over three months.
The treatment is that which excited
wide interest when presented in paper
read by DR.. Murphy before the American
Medical Association, at Denver, this
summer. There are now sixty or
seventy patients taking the treatment.
The Cook County Hospital for consump-
tive, a charitable institution with &C.
commodations for $50 patients, which
will be opened next week, will try the
the treatment on an extended scale.

The metropolitan daily newspapers
are usually published by stock COM
panies, controlled by q wealthy corpo-
ration, backed by almost unlimited
wealth, and upon any subject which
touches the profits of money and the
just rights OF the people are the organs
Of monopolists and the mouthpiece Of
aggregate wealth; 80 that is easy to see
that honest, independent criticism can
not be had of men and measures from
newspapers thus handicapped. On the
other hand the country newspaper is
owned generally by an individual; its re-
putation depends upon the brains Of the
editor. He is trammelled by no master,
aud his judgment is the result of
thonght, unbiased by obligations to any
controlling power, except the common
people, who read his newspaper.-Tr y

Very High Praise for our Black
Soldiers.
+ Holland in Philadelphia Press. !

Holland in Philadelphia Press
Captain Pagst, of the British Army,
who came officially from Great Britain
to the United States to watch the Cuban
campaign, will surprise his fellow officers
in Great Britain if he carries out the in
tentions of which he spoke to American
officers. He regards the Santiago cam
paign, in spite of some blunders, as one
of the marvels of modern warfare. It is
his opinion that it will change some of
the established rules, and will be closely
studied by military authorities of every
nation in Europe.
He speaks of it as being prominently a
soldiers battle, and he seems to be
aware that it was not in all respects con-
Quoted in accordance with the plans of
General Shafter, for. had it been, the
ambushing of the Rough Riders would
not have taken place, and the advance
upon Santiago would have been of
different character. As Captain Paget
was very intimate with General LawtoD,
who declined to act with the others who
were responsible for the Rough Riders
advance, be probably knows the inside
history of that effort.
One anecdote will illustrate the change
of opinion which was the result of Cap
tain Paget's experience. A few days be-
fore the Santiago fight he said to General
Lawton that the derviehes were the
most magnificent, awe-inspiring and ir
resistible of all soldiers in charging in
battle. They were fataIists, Indifferent
to their own lives, and came on, re ckless,
violent and overwhelming, like tornado
That was his experience with them and
was the impression of all British officers
who had met them.
After the battle of July 2 Captain |
Psget said to General L1wtop: Il take
back what 1 eaid about the dervishes
There are in your American army their
superiors in charging. Your black sol
diers in the charges made up the hill be-
lore Santiago have performed the eu-
prsme exploit of that kind in the worlds
history. There is nothing like it record
ed in any military annal. 1t is the one
peculiarly conspicuous and striking
event of this battle, and 1 am going to
speak of it in the full praise it deserves
when I make my report upon my return

But love is such funny term, and
means so many things. In Boston it

CHEAP WAGES A FAILURE.
Low-Priced Japanese Watchmakers
Can't Work Like Americans.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Consul General
Convey, at Yokohama, reports to the
State Department that, Notwithstanding
the low wages paid in Japan to watch
makers, the business is not a paying one
in Japan, sccording to the report of a
member of the Osaka Watch Company.
Lack of skill among the mechanics is one
of the reasons assigned for this state of
affairs. Though the Japanese wages are
from 20 to 25 cents day, as against So
for the American workmen. it is said
that 10 of the latter can easily do work
which would require from 70 to SO
Japanese.
