King Lewanika's costume was rather re-

Manchester style: flannel shirt. tweed

was evidently his holiday attire, for OF

REVELATION.

Across the doforous reaches of the rain
Recurrent rings the mellow robin-soEg,
And 10, the bliss-throb at the heart again!
Stung by a pitiIess masters cruel thong,
Enmeshed in sorrow. weru with wasting
pain.
How have We waited for that lyric long!
But now what care We for the winters
wrong
Our silent lips for very joy would sing,
-schoing the rapture ful! and strong.
BEHIND the gloom shroud all environing
We see, revealed through that clear robin
song,
The glory and the glamour of the sprsng!

According to the vote cast in
Cooperstown at the late election,
and the new law recently passed
by the legislature, wherever all
cities having a population Of 500
or over voters must register
their names previous to election,
the Cooperstown people will have
to adopt the registration system
at the coming election. The law
says that to form Il basis for
population the vote cast at the
last election should be multiplied
by five. Seeing that we cast 17O
votes that let's us into the new
deal.

Why not lynch Hanna and put a

ness. = y = If this wage
raising-so general throughout
the country-does not stop soon

The manufacturers
should take Mark Hanna out in

talking to. This increase in
salary business, if continued,
will break all of them-besides
beating ex-Col. Bryan out of Il
large share of his 1900 campaign
thunder.

Henry Watterson gives out the
following as his idea as to what
should be the democratic plat
form for 1900:
1. The destruction of COM
binations of capital design to linn
it production, to raise prices and
to promote monopoly.
3. The raising of the pu bile
moneys by taxes fairly divided
between production and con-
sumption; beginning with a tariff
for revenue only and ending in Il
graded income tax, oppressive
to no class or interest.
3. The recovery to the people
of all franchises belonging to the
people, but diverted from public
to private uses by the purchase
of corporations and individuals,
corruptly working through state
and municipal legislatures.
4. Such Il reorganization and
reform of our judicial system us
will remove the courts further
from the influence of the rich
and make them more accessible
to the poor, Il result not to be
reached by excited appeals and
revolutionary menaces, but by
calm conservatism.

The democratic party is still
grasping at straws. the latest
candidate for the nomination for
the presidency being brought
forward is Gen. Miles. Dewey
refused. the stuffed prophet is
dead politically, Bryan has talked
himself to pieces and now they
are jumping onto poor Gen.
Miles. Alas, poor Yorick!
Perry S. Belmont, a New York
millionaire. who WAS opposed to
16 to l last campaign. says he is
against it yet, but that he will
support 16 to or any candidate
nominated on such a platform by
the democratic party. 1t is any
thing to beat the republican par
ty aud prosperity. Oh yes,
''any old pill will be swallowed, :"
so we are told.

consequences. Shrinkage by a

consequences. Shrinkage by a
third party is fatal. 1t is possi-
BILE that Butler is correct to the
extent that the populists will put
up another ticket in 1900, but if
it does the only element which
it will run Il race with is that
which nominated Barker and
Donnelly. Neither of the great
parties will feel the slightest in
terest in the platform of the
ticket of the popu.ist convention
of 1900, if there be any. That
party suicided when it accepted
the democratic ticket in 1896.
Most of it's members will stay in
the democratic party if that Or
ganization clings to base in money
1900, and Bryan, Jones and many
of the other democratic leaders
say the democracy will do this
very thing.
