1t is announced that at
last a method has been de.
viSed for converting the
spiders web into the silk of
commerce. If the announce
ment is true, it means a
revolution in one of the most
important departments of
textile manufacture.
For many years the man
ufacturers of Great Britain
have kept standing an offer
Of ten thousand dollars to
anyone who could success
fully weave the spiders fine
web into silk cloth. M,
Cachot, a Frenchman, seems
to have overcome the diff
culties. He claims to have
discovered the process by
which a silk !iner and softer
than any we have known
may be made from the web
of the common spider. He
has designed a machine with
diminutive bobblns k e p t
constantly revolving. The
end of the web is caught
when a spider begins to
weave and attached to the
bobbin. As the spider pulls
to get away the web is
wound on the bobbin. Then
the spider is petted and fed
until it is ready to weave
another web. st. Louis Re-

The Democratic party is
now taking the lead in these
reforms, and by the a0ilia-
tion and cooperation of all
the reform forces it is pos
sible for us tc get that which
we have battled for these
many yenTs. There is hard,
ly a county III this state in
which a Populist cam be
elected to Office without the
assistance of Democratic or
Republican votes. A re-
form candidate would stand
a much better showing for
election by ahil:ating with
the Democratic party, than
by trying to draw Demo
cratic votes away from the
party. The democratic par.
ty is in the race for 1900.
The brains and patriotism
of reform elements are going
to support it, too.

A N, Barlow, editor OF

WHAT rs A DEMOCRAT?

We received the following
inquiry yesterday. 1t has
the merit of plainness to say
the least of it. It's author
is a gentleman of culture and
refnment. He has been
studing the Texarkana bust
ness mans paper, the Couri-
er, recently, and from the
inquiry, we judge tFat he
is looking for more light.
Editor Courier:-WiIl you

ion of several of my so-called
Democratic friends, and the
inevitable answer has been
Blamed if I know. Mr..
Editor, you call yourself a
Democrat. Why do you do
so? A plain straightforward
answer will oblige.
J, M, King,
"Mr. King is entitled to
an answer, and "a straight
forward" one at that. We
might use pages to explain
the principles of our political
belief, but Mr., Arthur
McEwen, Of the New York
Journal has, with a concise.
ness far beyond our power,
given his definition Of what
constitutes a Democrat,
which so exactly fits the
case that we make no apol-
ogies for reproducing it.
We endorse every word Of it,
and the Courier will stand
or fall in advocating every
principle therein,

amid the carnage upon which by chance
it fell.
Louis Moriniere was rushing aft III his
effort to leave the sinking battle ship when
his feet became tangled in the little strip
of bunting that, still attached TO the loos-
ened halyards of the main mast lay pros
trate and insignificant on the wreck of the
once proud vessel. 1t was strange COIN
cidence that this pennant, the only flag left
flying through the night over our ships OF
war, should have come under the notice or
almost the only sailor left unhurt on board
the Maine, as if demanding to be saved and
protesting against the ignominy of burning
like common rag. Moriniere tore it from
the halyards and thrusting it into his blouse
bore it safely away with him. The pennant
has now been sent by Moriniere to Chi
cago man. George A. Magee by name. with
the following letter, dated Key West, Fla,
Feb. 10:
Presented to my friend, George A. Ma
gee. This is the main pennant of the man
of-war Maine, which was blown up in the
harbor of Havana. 1t was saved while she
was sinking. OF a crew of $50 men 256
were killed. seventy-one were injured and
three not injured, of whom was one"
The pennant is four inches wide at hall
yard and thirty-one feet long. Before ship
ping on the Maine Moriniere lived at New
torville. Mass, where he has many friends,
and the following letter. received by c. A.
Purdy, of Appleton street contains his ac-
count of the disaster In it he says 81
an not dead yet. 1 came out without a
scratch not even a skin scratch am
now in the United States army barracks in
Key West awaiting orders. When the ex-
plosion took place l was on watch on the
quarter deck and the first thing ! knew /
knew nothing. Smokestacks, masts, men,
fire, iron. everything was flying through the
air. She was like a volcano. Men with no
legs, no head, no arms-it was a horrible
sight to see. In five minutes the battle ship
Maine was no more. Only two men came
out without getting hurt and 1 was one of
them. I only lost my cap. 1 saved my
watch and chain, which were in my pocket
at the time. When the explosion took place
l was just talking with couple of friends
about what good times we were going to
have when we got back to the United
States, but 1 am sorry to say our castles
were built in the air."
The writer of this letter is a Frenchman,
having been born in Havre thirty-three
years ago. He left France when eleven
years OF age, shipping on sailing vessel
He rose in the merchant marine service.
and in 1892 was first mate of the brigantine
Columbus, under Captain Gunghans Later
he passed the examinations in Boston for
captain of sailing. His naturalization pa
pers were taken out at Baltimore, Md,
March 4, 1894, and taste for military life
caused him to enlist in the regular army on
Aug. 16, 1895. 1t is hoped among his friends
that his cool conduct under such desperate
circumstances will gain him promotion, his
education fully fitting him for position as
petty officer
