A Timely Admonition.

1.-THE democratic party will come
out the loser in every trade or COM
promise it makes, or attempts to
make, with any man, Or class of men
who cannot endorse every principle
and policy announced in the platform
of 1895. This suggestion of under
taking to trim down the grand prin-
ciples of liberty and justice announced
in that platform to suit the views of
Tom, Dick and Harry, emanates from
the enemy"
The foregoing, from the Charlton
Democrat, is true and timely, and it
ought to be reproduced and empha-
sized by every democratic newspaper
in the state. There is but one patri-
otto and polite course, and this is to
adhere to principle with steadfastness
and to nominate for Office no man who
is not full accord with the national
platform. In the next as in the last
national campaign 16 to is to be an
issue. 1t is of the first Importance
that that those entrusted with demo-
cratic leadership shall accept this not
because it is party tenet but because
they fully believe it to be economical
ly sound. The organizat ton must be
kept out of the hands of trimmers and
in the hands Of those who have con-
victions and the courage fearlessly to
express them. Otherwise it will
revert to the control of compromises
willing to affirm or condemn anything
for the sake of success and the Incl
dental spoils, and once the party has
relapsed to such domination it will
become competitor of the republic
can organization for the favors OF
trusts, corporations and privilege
seekers, and the only difference
between it and the republican party
will be the name.

says: MIR. Frank f. Collins, of Cincin-

sociation, which meets at Detroit next
week, says it will have an attendance of
over 1000 members. He bases this on
information which he has received by
ness grounds that the hay crop through
out the east is very short, while
throughout the west it is extraordi-
narily large. He says the eastern deal
ers are drawing earlier than usual on
the west for hay and movements of the
crop from the west to the east are not
stopping, as usual, at intermediate
points,

If the republicans think they can do
by legislation or by enforce

of the trusts, very we'll. Then let them

plishing something by such means.
Something has got to be done, that is
sure. The laissez-faire policy will

She had some money with her, and

rather the instructors who were to

needed it. Max Rosenberg was one of
her instructors, and Mrs. Kinney had

She told the court the story of. her

What can you do?'' asked Mr. Ros-

when he called in person in answer to
Mrs. Kinney's response to his adver-
tisement. Have you anything you can
recite?"
Mrs. Kinney recited "The Whims of
Cleopatra"

And he did-very often. And every
