"A BREACH OF ET1ouETTE.

We are surprised that the etiquette
editors Of our family journals, who
make speciality of keeping the foot
steps of frail humanity on the proper
path from the cradle to the grave, have
not treated the case of Mrs. Samuel
Fohs, of New York city. Mrs. Fohs Is

of the stray bullets flew across the

Mr. Berg, who was placidly reading the
paper at the window. Naturally Mr..
Berg was much agitated. He was not
accustomed to having ladies scrape an
acquaintance in that fashion, SO he fell
on the floor, calling loudly for help and
protesting that he was dead. A couple
of policemen came to his rescue, and
after some Sherlock Holmes detective
work they traced the bullet back to

FALSE DEMOCRATIC ASSERTIONS.
dubuque Times.]
Mr.. George e. Roberts, director Of the
mint, records his Impressions of the
platforms adopted by the democrats
and populists of Iowa in his Washing
ton letter to his paper, the Fort Dodge
Messenger. He believes no German who
knows the so cent dollar is a swindle
can be convinced by a resolution
against an imaginary Anglo American
alliance that it is an honest dollar.
From his own observations in Iowa IN
1896 he is convinced that very few of
the honest and intelligent Germans of
this state will be deceived by the pre-
posterous claim that this nation has
made or contemplates any alliance
whatever. The resolution concerning
the Philippines reminds him of the
democratic party's performance in 1864
when 1t attempted to defeat Lincoln on
a declaration substantially similar to
that just made at Dies Moines. He is
reminded further that the democrats of
Iowa as late as 1887 met in convention
and adopted the following:
I'VE point to the fact that the claims
| of the republican party in the last
campaign have proven false, and not
| one of the pledges made by that party
| has been fulfilled. The citizen was
urged to vote for Mckinley and pros
! perlty; confidence was to be restored;
| the mills We're to open up; unemployed
men would find work; the farmer would
| find profitable market for his prod
uets. All these and more were prom
| ised to take place as soon as it should
| be known that Mckinley was elected.
| Months have passed since that event,
and instead of the fulfillment of these
| promises. prosperity has not made its
appearance; the mills and shops are
CLOSING down; the army of unemployed
lis growing larger, and the farmers of
/ Iowa since his election are marketing
their products at a less price than ever
before"
Mir. Roberts considers this resolution
| a fair sample of the sagaclty and wis
dom of the men who control the demo-
cratic organization in Iowa today. Now
the same men come forward with what
is substantially declaration that our
soldiers have no business in the Phil
lppine islands, that the insurgents
Ought to shoot them down and that the
/ democrats, should they come into pow

4 the despot Aguinaldo to do with life and
property on the isalnds as he may see

hence will read as the resolutions OF
1864 and 1897 read today, that the insur-
rection will be suppressed before the
arrival Of another rainy season and thai
the Philippine question will not figure
in the next presidential compaign.
