IT is often asked what the Dem
ocrats would do with the trusts if
they had the power. In the words
of the Nebraska platform we de-
mand the enforcement of the pres
ent federal law, the enactment of
such new legislation as may be
necessary, and a constitutional
amendment, if the present consti-
tuition is construed to protect trusts,
to the end that the monopoly of
industry by private corporation S
may be prevented" j" This clear
cut decision is in refreshing con-
trast to the Republican meaning
less platitudes.

PARTY POLITICS BEFORE PATRI-
OTlSM.

The incident of the Union Vet
eran unions of Iowa denouncing
the governor of that state for re-
commencing anlex- Confederate for
appointment as brigadier- general
has stirred up a strong feeling
against the U. V. u. in the north.
Party politics, it is charged, is at
the bottom of the affair. Very
oddly. it appears that the Demo
ocrats in Iowa forced the opposi-
ton to the appointment of an ex-
Confederate, and we find the Re-
publicans defending the act. Gov
ernor Shaw, who recommended the
appointment, is a Republican, and
his Democratic opponents doubtless
took the opposite side in the hope
Of making political capital. The
Iowa State Register says of the in
cident: After General Lincoln
was appointed he received congra-
tulations from many sources, and
among them from nearly a hun
dred Union soldiers, who had
joined heartily in the sentiment,
then universal throughout the
country. that the past should be
buried and sectionalism should for
ever cease. The resolutions are
specially unfortunate because they
were passed by a national organi-
zation. 1t is probable that 6. A.
R. posts throughout the country
(Which are not political organiza-
tions) will take occasion to express
the true sentiment of the soldiers
and to prove to the state and the
nation that the past, if not for
gotten, is never to be referred to
when the nations safety is imper-
lied. In many towns in Iowa Con-
federate soldiers join with G. A.
R. posts on Memorial Day. ride in
carriages with Union soldiers to
the cemeteries, and even since the
adoption Of these resolutions, at
one of the annual reunions which
Governor Shaw was invited to ad-
dress, a Confederate soldier was
specially invited to march with the
Urion soldiers as an escort of the
governor to the grounds"

Takes Weak Women Strong,
And Sick Women Well.

1t is made from a formula of Dr. R V.
Pierce, the celebrated specialist in diseases
of women at Buffalo, y. Y. II is a strictly
Temperance medicine. containing neither
alcohol, opium or other narcotic poison
Its protracted use does not create a craving
for Intoxicating stinulants or deadly mar
cotics. II cures irregularities, displace-
1nents. drains, alterations, inflammation,
headache, backache and nervousness 1t
prepares the way for almost painless ma
ternity, and insures robustness to the new
born. 1t cures women at home and does
away with obnoxious questioning and local
examinations
Some medicine dealers offer substitutes
when You ask for DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. They initiate this medicine
IN appearance as nearly the law will
allow, but they cannot initiate its record
of thirty years of cures
Mrs. Matte Venghaus of Tioga. Hancock Co.
Ill, writes: " had been sick for seven wears
not in bed, but just dragging myself around.
At last took three bottles Of DIR. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription and FIVE of Golden Medical
Discovery and it is impossible 10 dcscJibe in
uords the good these medicines did me"
Neither the " Discovery" nor the Fa-
vorite Prescription " contains any alcohol,
opium or other narcotic.

A Banker. Genero.,tx.

In chapter of "reminiscences OF Won
Bunsen and his friends, in The Cen
tury, the Hon. John Bigelow tells this
anecdote Of Humboldt:
One day he was dining with Mem
delssohn. the banker, and, an unusual
thing for him, was very silent. His
host, remarking it. observed to Hum
boldt that he was sure he must be Ill.
mo" said Humboldt. "but am in
great trouble. Only ten minutes before
leaving my apartment to come here
received from my landlord note In
forming me that he had sold the house
in which | reside and that must
move. The very thought drives me to
despair really cannot bear to move
again."
Mendelssohn gradually led Humboldt
into conversation. during which he
found time to write note and receive
an answer to it. He then took Hum
boldt aside, and said: "By this note |
learn that | am now the owner of the
house in which you reside. The condi-
ton. however, upon which | have be-
come It's possessor is that you continue
to occupy your apartment in it as long
as you live"

GHoURkA OF INDIA.

them little FIVE foot Ghourka and a
big six foot Scotchman walking together
on parade grounds is mt once a comical
and common sight.
These little men, indeed. will be useful
to England in the coming struggle. for the
Transvaal has 600 miles of boruer eX-
posed at every point. with 100000 ma
tives waiting the first opportunity to
sweep down not only on the British sol
diers. but also on the Beers themselves.
During the past six weeks the Beers
have been moving about among the Zu-
lus. the Swazis. the Bechanes. the Tin
gas and the Gaikas trying to incite them
to action and so far have succeeded in in
fuencing only the BasutOs.
The Basutos are a tall, strong race OF
black men. Contact with the whites has
somewhat civilized them, but they are
even now hardly better than savages.
Their favorite weapon is the club or a
piece of stick heavily loaded at one end
with metal.
Bordering on the Free State upon its
eastern border is the Caledop river, and
that is known as the conquered territory.
II originally belonged to the Basutos. 1t
has been suggested that the Beers have
offered TO give it back in return for any
service the nation may render them in
the struggle.

The Kafiirs are not the only savages
expected to participate in the war. 1t
was recently announced that the Basu-
tos. the fierce tribe of hill men inhabiting
the inland country bordering ON the
Transvaal. were going to cast their lot
with the Beers. Great was the satisfac-
tion among the Dutch farmers at this an
nouncemept. They realized that they had
received a valuable addition 10 their
fighting fa..e and that the Englishmen
had tough nut to crack in the naked
'lack man who fought only with knot
tea club and hid in ambuscade in the Jun
gle.
Following close on the heels of this an-
nouncement came the information that
the Ghourkas from India had significd
their intention of fighting for the white
empress" and desired to enlist against
the Beers
What caused the "bonn little fighting
men,. as the Scotch soldiers in India are
wont to call the Ghourkas, to desire !;
brush in South Africa no one can say.
Perhaps they had heard about the Basu
tes and their methods and the thought
of tie old time fighting Mt close quarters

BABIES FOR BAIT.
How CrocodiIes Are Caught In Afri-
en- and Asia.


Those who are up in crocodile lore are
well acquainted with the fact that in
Asia and Africa babies are rented for
bait to crocodile hunters. but there are
few, unless they have had the actual ex-
perience. who would believe that SINH
lar practice was in vogue i'll the south of
Florida. 1t is fact. however. as any ex-
perienced hunter will attest.
The alligator is like the crocodile in this
respect. He likes to eat babies. not his
own awkward offspring, but nice human
babies. fat and dinpled. To obtain such
a delicacy for his palate an alligator will
travel far and risk much. This fact is so
well known that it has become the prac-
tice for alligator or crocodile hunters to
nsc babies as bait to lure the reptiles to
their death.
A nice, fat baby is rented for the occa-
sion from the cracker mother to whom a
half dollar is ample recompense for the
risk that her child is to run. The baby is
then taken 10 the shore of some pond or
river, where il is attached to stake by
means of stout cord that has been tied
around its waist. while the hunter con-
ccal> himself in the brushes or swamp
grass near the place. This method of
treatment is usually too much for even
the self possession of a cracker baby. He
is used 10 being neglected and even i'll
treated. hui Icing tethercd TO a stake and
then left alone is rather more than he is
willing 10 stani. ard he voices his indig-
nation to the full eSent of his lungs.
This is just the part that he is expected
To play in the game of alligator hunting.
His vnicing of his emotions 50 frantically
is heard far up and down the river or to
the farthest limits of the pond. Almost
before the hunter is ready to receive his
prey a black. ugly head appears on the

1.-THE LOST CHORD"


How Sir Arthur Sullivan Cams 70
Write That Famous Melody.
Colonel Robert E. Lee Venting. a
great traveller and musician. tells the
following interesting story:
ut was while visiting the house of n
nobleman in England that first heard
the story of the birth Of The Lost
Chord song that has been sung in
every quarter of the globe and which
will live forever. If ever there was
such thing as Inspiration, that song
was inspired.
"There are very few EGgliShmen
who do not remember Fred Sullivan,
the great comic star and brother of Sir
Arthur Sullivan. He played in all the
original Gilbert and Sullivan operas
and has never been equaled. He was
later followed by George Grossmith.
zone day Sir Arthur Sullivan was
notified that his brother Fred was very
i'll. He made every effort to reach the
house where his brother was lying at
the point of death but arrived too late
to see him alive. The two brothers
were devoted 10 each other. and the
blow was bitter one for Sir Arthur.
He was closeted with the body of his
brother for two hours. at the expira
ton of which time lie came down
stairs and went TO the piano. Throw
ing the instrument open. he began to
play. and bar by bar The Lost Chord
was evolved. The composer sadly put
his new composition on paper and
stored it away.
'"The song is the wall of throbbing
heart. the grief of desoIation All
through its beautiful harmony can be
heard the strain of grief. So profound
