Broncho Bill's Denomination.

During the first years of his career
as an actor Will had in one of his
theatrical companies westerner
named Broncho Bill. There were In
dians in the troupe, and certain mis-
sionary had joined the aggregation to
look after the morals of the Indians.
Thinking that Broncho Bill would bear
a little looking after also, the good
man secured a seat by his side at the
dinner table and remarked pleasantly:
"This is Mr.. Broncho Bill, is it not?"

Didn't Know the neca,ogue.

A negro, who was arraigned before
Justice Walls of Kansas City on a
charge of stealing articles of clothing
from his roommate on recent Sun
day, tried to impress the judge with
his piety Being asked what he was
doing on the Sunday when the goods
were stolen, he replied that he was in
his room reading the Bible.
The judge asked him what part of
the Bible he was reading.
The negro hesitated, then said, "The
Ten Commandments, suh.''
The judge offered to let him go if
he would repeat the decalogue. but as
the negro could not even quote one
commandment, he had to go to Jail.

A Naval Solomon.

Captain McB-, canny Scot, was
once in command of troopship re-
turning from India. On board he had
as passengers three ladies, all wives Of
officers in her majesty's service.
Now, it fell out that the cabin al
lotted to them was fitted up to accom-
modate four, and consequently it con-
tained four wash basins, one of which
was far larger than the other three.
For the right to use this especial
basin each lady put forth her claim.

Cured Her Hea dache.

On one of the recent hot nights
young woman of Manayunk was suf-
fering from a violent headache, which
made sleeping impossible, says the
Philadelphia Record. To avoid the
heat. and thinking the fresh air might
ease her head, she sat out on the front
doorstep, using a bottle of ammonia
frequently as smelling salts. A willy
policeman of German extraction espied
the woman at an unseemly hour Of the
morning and imagined that she was
drinking heavily from bottle or else
intending to commit suicide. After
watching her awhile he emerged from
his hiding place, walked up to the sup
posed suicide and asked her why she
slept on the steps. She replied she
was not sleeping and answered truth
fully as to what she was doing with
the bottle.
Still the willy bluecost was not salts
fed and insisted on examining the
bottle. He took long, stiff whiff at
the ammonia and was nearly knocked
down. He spluttered and then swore.
The young woman laughed so hard her
headache was cured.

The Democracy Has Always Failed
10 Develop a Policy Entire-
~ its own

The Boston Transcript intimates that
II the president or congress should de-
eide 10 abandon the Philippines the per-
sons who are now bowling to give up
the islands would then shrek even loud
err against such course. There is q
good point here. The persons who are
shouting against holding the Philip
pines are nearly all democrats. A few
republicans are among the contraction
lists, but nine out of every ten OF them
are democrats. Bryan, Altgeld, Stone,
Jones and all the rest of the men who
ran the Chicago convention and who
expect to control the next national
gathering of the democracy, are all
shouting against expansion. All Of
them want the country to get out of
the Philippines and Cuba, and 10 even
give up Porto Rico. There are two
reasons why the democracy takes this
ground. The democratic leaders are
timid and incapable, and the democrat
lie party ever since the republican or
ganization first went into power in
1861 has been party OF obstruction or
negation.
Everything which the republican
party has favored in the past 40 years
the democracy has opposed. But after
opposing republican policy until oppo-
sition made the democracy ridiculous,
that party has always come over TO re-
publican ground. This was so regard
ing the doctrine of secession, on the
amendments TO the constitution, on
nearly all the reconstruction policy, on
the greenbacls and the national bank
ing system, though a few democrats

make a sort of shutting assault on the
national banks occasionally, and this
element put in a plank in the demo-
cratic platform in 1892 TO repeal the
prohibitory ten per cent. tax on state
bank issues. Even the tariff, which the
democrats fought with virulence for
many years, they did not dare TO at
tack in principle when, in the only
time since 1879 they had, in 1899,
complete control of all branches of the
government simultaneously. The Will

revenue nor protection in sufficient

protection TO domestic industries. That
was the tariff which, according TO Pres
ident Cleveland, meant party perfdy
and party dishonor," and he refused to
sign il, allowing ii to become a law by
the expiration of the ten days limit.
Ii was a democratic measure through
out, however, and was one of the great
number OF causes which conspircd to
innict the overwhelming defeats on the
democracy In the congressional canvass
Of 1894 and the presidential campaign
Of 1906.
This has been the record OF the de-
mocracy ever since the republican
party first obtained control of the gov.
ernmcnt more than n generation ago.
During all this time the democracy has
done nothing except oppose republican
policy. Even in the campaign Of 1896,
when il seemed to have struck out a
path for itself i'm its free silver lunacy,
IL merely struck at the republican
party. The republicans in the ST. Louis
convention came out squarcly and de-
cisively in favor of the gold standard.
The democracy, in It's convention few
weeks later, assailed the gold standard.
Then, as in all its career since the early
days of the war of secession. il has been
an incubus and an obstruction merely.
IL has lacked the brains TO develop n
policy of it's own which has had the
faintest chance of securing the accept
ance Of honest and pubIic-spirited men.
After fighting republican measures I'M
til these had been so long and SO firmly

nation of the league, however, will not
interest the country, for silver is dead
and buried beyond resurrection. and if
the democratic party should take IL up
as an issue again il, too, would be buried
out of sight. The only interest which
