ist, and it will be difficult for most persons to understand how he can claim to be democrat and receive democratic support. His nomina- tion under the circumstances illus trates the complicated state of poli- tics at the present time. There are protection democrats, free trade re- publicans, sound money democrats, free silver republicans, democratic advocates of territorial expansion, republican opponents of the new policy, democrats who hase Cleve- land and admire Mckinley, republ- cans who hold Cleveland in high re- spect and have feeling close to con- tempt for Mckinley.
 The only logical arrangement of political principles is this: On the one side, free silver, protection, anti-expansion; on the other, free trade, sound money, the acquisition of new territory and the utmost ex- tension of foreign trade. The free silver advocate who wishes to ignore the rest of the world in the adoption of monetary system should, logic ally. be an advocate of isolation, both in national policies and in trade. On the other hand the man who wants the American standard of values to be the same as that of the other civ ilized nations should also desire the abolition of protective tariffs and the utmost freedom of trade among the nations.
 As long as political platforms are as illogically constructed as they are at present party ties must con- tinue to rest lightly on progressive and intelligent voters. The mere party name carries with it less weight every year, and the charac- ter of the candidate counts for more and more. This condition ought to result in the advancement of better men to positions of leadership and power aud make it more difficult for politicians to gull the people with high-sounding phrases that really mean nothing and appeal only to partisan prejudice.

The descriptions are not asked as a ,,,hnus. but as an investment. What fer dividends are declared, the inc Bluff stockholders or bond Slders will reap their full share.
 5 to the enterprise being success, I5Eere can scarcely be any doubt < ,out it. The income derived from sKhts for the city as well as from aivate consumers, will pay operat- -g expenses and interest on the in- cBtment, to say nothing of the Metric street railroad. Then there fe other Advantages and benefits to nderived from the enterprise, chief Hong which will be the advance in &5e values of real estate. It will al-
 8ive a new impetus to our city

An electric line Is long felt want in Pine lH, and now that our citizens have Sfh opportunity Of securing the etich needed enterprise, it should I!ef be allowed to escape. Only e*3 1000 more IS needed. A number f bur local capitalists have already s Ecribed for stock in amounts
