The Next Democratic Platform.

eve are near enough to the next cam
paign to De able to form some idea OF the
lines along which the contest will be
fought, and am taking no risk when l
say that those who, in 1896, gave their
allegiance to the Chicago platform are as
united today in the determination that
no step taken in 1896 shall oe retraced.
That platform applied to the conditions
then existing, the principles OF which
have been democratic from the beginning
OF the government.
"Supgestions that We abandon the
money question sometimes come from
those who deserted the party in 1896, but
those suggestions are not supported by
evidence tending to show that the position
in 1896 was wrong, but was predicted up
on the theory that the issue upon which
the party once lost can never be revived
and what seems most strange, this argu-
ment is made by those who have followed
a different course in the past.
"In 1888 Mr.. Cleveland was defeated
on the tariff issue, and yet the tar'h was
made the main issue in 1892 and Mr..
Cleveland was elected. In 1892 Mr.. mar.
rison was defeated largely on account OF
the Mckinley bill, and four years iater
the author of the bill was nominated upon
platform reaffirming the belief IN pro-
lection and was successful. Thus 1t Is
seen that in two instances recently ios'
ing issue in one campaign became a VIII
ming issue in the campaign following
"The test ought to be not whether the
issue has been presented before, out
whether the position taken is right. II
the gold standard WAS unmerited in $780,
it is unmerited now. If its maintenance

people OF this country then, it is detr',

that the republicans promised 70 pun

national bimetallism for it, and after inc

Lincoln was welded to the fundamental
doctrines set forth in that declaration no
one will dispute. In expressing regret
that he could not attend the Boston BAN
quet Mr.. Lincoln used these words in
regard to Thomas Jefferson:
All honor to jefferson !; to u man who
in the concrete pressure Of struggle for
national independence by single people
had the GOODNESS, forecast, and capacity
to introduce into . merely revolutionary
document an abstract truth applicable to
all men and all times, and 20 to embalm
it there that to-day and in all coming days
it shall be . Tebuke and . stumbling
block to the harbingers Of tyranny and
oppression
"And yet the leaders Of the republican
party are attempting to deny those truths
written for oil men and for oil time. They
are attempting to repudiate the doctrine
Of equal rights and Of seli.government
given to " by the ioreisthers. Not only
are they initiating the monarchies OF the
old world in their policies, but they are
copying the language Of monarchs in
carrying out their policy.
lin the proclamation recently issued
to the Filipinos we find these words:
" The commission desires to assure
the people Of the Philippine Islands Of
the cordial good will and traternal feeling
which 10 entertained for them by the
president Of the United States and by the
American people. The aim and object Of
the American government, apart from
the fulfllment of the solemn obligation It
has assumed toward the family Of nations
by its acceptance Of sovereignty over the
Philippine Islands. is tho we'll being,
prosperity, and protection Of the Philip
pine people and their elevation and ad.
vancement 10 position among the civil
lied peoples of the world
Compare this with the language used
BY the queen in her proclamation to the
people Of India in 1856, when she said:
owe hold ourselves bound to the ma
tives Of our Indian territory by the same
obligations Of duty which bind US to ouI
other Subjects and In their prosperity
will be our strength; in this content
ment, our security, and in their gratitude
our best reward
1T will be noticed that benevolence
breathes through both declarations. And
then ~ to their participation in govern
ment proclamation to the Filipinot
}says:
There shall be guaranteed to thu
Filipino people an honest and effective
civil service, in which to the fullest ex
tent to which it is practicable, nativel
shall be employed
"The queens proclamation reads:
"'And it is our further will that 90 fal
as may DO our subjects, Of whatever racs
or creed, be freely and impartially admit

of which they may be qualified by thei

known from childhood as Lily LIE Bre-
ton, was born at st. Helen's, In the Isl
and of Jersey, in 1853. She Is said to
claim that she was not born until 1850.
but as she was married in 1874 to Ed
ward Langtry her claim can hardly be
accepted. Her father was dean OF the
Church Of England. He was, however,
comparatively poor, and his daughters
marriage to Mr.. Langtry, who was well
to do, was perfectly satisfactory to
him.
1t was soon after her marriage that
Mrs. Langtry's beauty first attracted
comment. The Langtrys moved 70
town, and Mrs. Langtry became one OF
the first of the series Of professional
beauties. The Prince of Wales was In
troduced to her and became a great ad-
mirer. Fashionable life proved too ex-
pensive for Mr.. Langtry, and he disap-
psared from London in 1881 after a
financial smash. His wife refused to
return to Jersey with him and went on
the stage.
Since that time Mrs. Langtry haS
been more or less before the public.
Her dramatic debut was made at the
Haymarket Theater In 1881. but she
did not adopt the stage regularly as
profession til the following year AZ
ter many legal delays and various un-
successful attempts. she obtained q
divorce from her hsuband In May,
1897, from a California court. Ed

CLEVER TRICKS OF RAVENS
Some Think tho BIRD Must Possess the
Power Of Reaoonin9.

Some Think the Bird Must Possess the
Power Of Reasonin9.
Many stories are told Of the clever.
ness Of the raven, a bird that really
seems to have reasoning power. One
Of these stories tells how raven by q
skillful stratagem got young hare for
Its dinner. 1t had pounced upon a lit
tie animal, but the mother hare drove
It away.
Then the raven slowly retreated, en-
.ouraging the mother to follow him,
and even pretending that he was afraid
Of her. In this fashion he led her a con-
siderable distance from the young one
ard then suddenly, before the hare had
time to realize the meaning Of the trick,
be rose in the air, flew swiftly back,
caught the young hare In his beak and
bore it away.
A similar plan was adopted by some
ravens that wished to steal food from a
dog. They teased him till he grew so
angry that he chased them from the
spot, but the artful birds turned sharp
ly around, easily reached the dish be-
fore him and carried OF the choicer bit
In triumph.
AS to the ravens power of speech,
the following story, which Is given on
the authority of Capt. Brown. who
yOuches for Its truth, Will show how
aptly 1t can talk:
A gentleman while travelling through
a wood in the South Of England was
startled By hearing a shout Of Fair
play, gentlemen: fair playr' uttered in
loud tones. The cry being presently
repeated. the traveller thought 1t must
proceed from someone in distress and
at one began to search for him. He
soon discovered two ravens fercely at
tacking third. He was so struck with
the appeal Of the oppressed bird that
he promptly rescued him.
1t turned out that the victim was a
tame raven, belonging to a house In
the neighborhood. and the cry that II
had used SO oppOrtunely was one of
many that 1t had been taught to utter.
