In 1896 the Democratic party en-
tered upon its first national cam
paign under Thomas jefferson,
and was beaten.
In 1896. just 100 years later, the
Democracy had a new birth, and
in the first appeal Of this regen-
Grated party to the people it lost.
In 1900 the original Democracy
fought its second national contest
and won.
In 1900 the new. Democracy will
undertake its second national con-
test and will win- The cycle is
complete and history is gEoriously
repeating itself.
In 1896 the Democratic party,
although still maintaining the an
cient traditions of TIE founders of
American. liberty. was breaking
new ground and presenting new
issues for the Judgment of the
nation. In all our history no new
party has ever won its first national
campaign. 1t took the Wings
eight years to elect Harrison. The
Free Soilers, struggled feebly for
a dozen years, finally grew into
the Republican party. but it was
six years after that before they
could elect a president.
i No new party has ever develop
ed the strength in its first yeal
that the new democracy displayed
in 1896. The Republican party in
the Fremont campaign polled 81
per cent of the total vote, and ex,
ulted in its youthful Yigor. Two
| years ago Bryan had 45 per cent
of the total vote. He received {
million more votes than were evel
east for a candidate, even a sue
cessful one, before.
The new Democracy cast owe
6, 500 600 votes in its first cam
, paign, and it needed only 800,
600 more to win. It would hav,
won then but for the panic artfull.

From a communication in the
Tishomingo Herald it is learned
that n fight was made on Palmer
Moseley as treasurer. The claim
was that he was Ineligible because
he was not a citizen of the Chick
asaw nation. In answer to this
Moseley showed that he now lives
at the same place he did when he
was elected and served as governor
of the nation two years, also when
he served as national secretary two
years under Wolfe's administra-
ton, also when he was appointed
commissioner ON the part Of the
Chic zasaw nation to make the late
and present treaty, and that he
had been county and probate

tor delegate to Washington, su-
perintendept of schools and lastly

A renewal of the Hispano-Amer-
lean war is probable. There is
not the least indication of yielding
any of the American demands.
Secretary Long reported from
the navy department that the
North Atlantic feet was ready to
sail at few hours notice. Work
has been hurried on all vessels and
they were now in best possible
condition for trip across the At
lantic.
1t was concluded that the Span-
iards in Cuba could give but little
trouble since they had enough
troubles of their own. 1t was not
anticipated that the Spanish troops
in the Philippines could do any
harm, and that most of them
would surrender without striking
a blow. :
So the navy will have to bear
the brunt of any further fighting
that is to be done. The navy is
ready. So far as it is concerned
the war can begin at once.
Spain must tomorrow indicate
its absolute acquiescence in the
American demands; or it must in
dicate its acquiescence, coupled
with a proposition to treat for the
hnal settlement oe the government
of the islands, the form of govern,
ment to be proposed by the United
States.
| lt is believed that Spain viii

she intimates any European back.
ing she will be considered to have
again thrown down the gage o.
battle. And again, if she Yields
to the contention OF the United
States and proposes financial terms
which cannot be accepted this gov
ernmert will enforce its demand
. by a renewal of the war. Spain

SCORE AND TALLY.


To keep score and to keep tally are
common enough phrases, but few Of
the ardent boys and girls who keep the
score Of an exciting game Of baseball
and aftcrward compare score cards to
see If their records sally have any idea
whence these two words are derived.
Originally they were exact synonyms;
q score being o scar or notch upon a
tally stick, while tally comes directly
from the French TALLER, to cut, whittle
or notch. The use of tally sticks, one
would think. must belong either to re.
mote antiquity or TO regions beyond
civilization and its accompanying
school arithmerics; vet such is by no
means the case. That It still survives
in rural France is attested by a writer
in a recent English magazine.
Sitting among a group Of blue.
bloused peasants before the fireplace of
a country ~, TIE landlady Of which
also, Ucted the village bakery. he
no''A hanging from the mantel two
giat bundles of sticks. Examining
them, he found that each rod was about
is inches in length and was split up
more than three quarters of its length
the split portion being covered with
notches, while upon the handle was in.
scribed a name. The mistress Of the
inn observed him pulling over these
mysterious objects and, coming to his
side, good-naturedly explained that
they were ]tallies, and that all the bak-
cry accounts Of the house were kept in
that manner
Every customer was provided with
a hazel stick split through the greater
part Of its length and with his name
written on the handle The split-or
