That psmocratlc randi.

The Democratic tangle over
the issues to be raised in the cam
paign of 1000 still continues. The
recent Chicago meeting did not
tend to clear up the situation; it
only served to accentuate the diff
ferences that now divide the par
ty into adverse factions. These
factions are three in number;
First, the radicals, who, under Alt
geld, Williams and Tillman, in
sist upon 10 to one as the corner
stone of the party structure, and
who are willing to see the party
defeated in 1900 rather than see
this issue in any way modified or
made subordinate to any other
issue. Next, the conservatives
like Stone, Walsh and German,
who want to run in 1900 and who
think they would increase the
party's chances of of success by
the adoption of a platform less
radical than the pronunciamento
of 18o6-a platform on which the
gold Democrats could stand with
out stultifying themselves, and
which at the same time would not
be surrender of the position TAX
en- by the party in 1896. Last
ly, the straight out gold men, like
most of the eastern Democrats,
who favor a declaration for BIZ
metallism, but who are opposed
to insistence on I6 to one as the
ratio between the money metals.
Among these factions Bryan now
fits as harmony butterfly. He
wants the nomination too bad to
make enemies anywhere. He is
carrying water on both shoulders
and is ready to do sommersault
act whichever way the final plat :
form is fixed.-Lewiston Teller.

Beware Of Food Samples.

Quite recently in New York
two deaths occurred from po ison-
ing by the use Of powders sent
to the victims BY mail. In Leav-
enworth, Kan, the other day
nearly every doctor in town was
called to attend the children who
had gathered up, eaten, and been
made i'll by samples Of an article
left at houses by canvassers for
advertising purposes.
Alum baking powders have al
ways been favorite articles for
this sampling business. Yet
there is nothing more liable to
lead to danger than the practice
of using the various samples of
baking powder left at the door.
They are presented by irrespon-
sible parties, in appearance
are not distinguishable from
arsenic, and indeed, in In
diana some time since one pack
age was found, after it had caused
the death of the housewife, to
have been mixed with that
poison.
1t is safer to refuse all samples
of food or medicine offered at the
door. Pure cream of tartar bak-
ing powders sell upon their mer-
its, and are never peddled or
samped.

Free Trade Only A Name.

England herself claims to be,
and all other countries believe her
to be, the one free-trade country
in blacksliding and uneconomic
world; it is probable that many
foreigners entertain the conviction
that England is one vast free port
where no customs duties are
levied. This is very far from
being the case. 1t it so far from
being the case indeed, that there
is no country in Europe, nor with
the exception of the United States,
any in the world, which levies so
large an amount of customs dut-
les at its ports as the United
Kingdom. This, to some, may
be hard and surprising saying;
but it is the strict truth. Not
,Protectionist Russia, nor Protec-
ZIONIST Germany, nor Protectionist
France gets so much revenue from
customs as Free Trade England,
And the strange thing is that the
British customs revenue is levied
wholly upon a very few articles,
e. G. tea, which is taxed with a
customs duty of IS per cent; wine
which is taxed ~ per cent; spirits
which are taxed zoo per cent; and
tobacco, which is taxed 247 per
per cent.
The schismatics, who doubt
whether this is free trade, and the
heretics, who deny that it is free
trade, are indeed, loftily silenced
by being told that the fewer the
articles taxed, the freer the trade
is for all other articles upon
given customs revenue. They
are further told that, since neither
! tea nor wine nor tobacco is pro-

Consent of The Governed.

In Bryan's Chicago speech he
laid great stress upon his idea of
the consent of the governed" in
his review of the expansion ques-
ton. Watterson, of the Courier
Journal, takes up the issue and
pays his respects to Bryan in the
following terse editorial.
1.-THE consent of the govern
ed" is to be taken literally with
out limitation or qualification then
Jeferson's purchase Of the Louis
lana territory was an act both of
corruption and rapine, and our
whole Indian policy has been a
monstrous outrage and tyranny.
Mr.. Bryan fails to note the
Emergencies that actually exist
between tradition and progress.
he fails to discriminate between
peoples civilized and peoples bar
barous. He ignores the simplest
facts of contemporary history.
According to his theory there is
no difference between a savage
and statesman, and Aguinaldo
stands upon the same footing with
Washington. Yet the circum-
stances of Aguinaldo's insurrec-
ton furnish the best proof that the
philippines are not capable of
sell government, that, if left to
themselves they would either re-
lapse into anarchy, or become the
prey of European contention, and
mat, as we have interests in that
quarter of the globe and have as
Sumed responsibilities as a conse-
quence of the Spanish war, we
are bound in duty and honor to
maintain our position until our
supremacy is recognized through

order is restored under our auth

FiliaI And Parental Duties.

The United States is the rich
est nation Of the globe, not Sc
much because Of her splendid
natural resources as because of
her superior home life.
No nation has ever been great
er than its homes. Today you
may grade the peoples of the
earth, from ablest to the most in
significant, and the grade will in
dictate the comparative domestic
status.
Second only in Importance and
number to appeals and direction
for personal holiness are the pre-
cepts and proverbs on the family
relation. There is little difference
between the ideal government
and a theocracy. A democracy
is the best form, only inasmuch as
it secures the highest type Of citi-
zen-God's ideal, a man. This is
God S purpose, and whatever pro-
duces it is virtual theocracy, his
government-the product of a fit
citizen of the kingdom of heaven.
AS means to this end he gives
as a basis the family relation, and
whether we aim at the final con-
summation or stop midway at the
earthly citizen it must not be lost
to sight.
What then, in brief, are some
important parental and filial
duties2
t. The father should be
model as a mana husband and
father. Too much has been
made of heredity. "BIood will
tell, "but training will stand for
more. y rs
2. There must be good family
government. 1t must be a gov
eminent, not of the parents by
the children, but of the children
by the parents. There must be
habit of obedience to rightful
authority.
8. Every child should be taught
to work. The world owes no
man living until he earns it.
The person who lives without
contributing to the general veal
by head, heart or hand is as truly
pauper as the veriest tramp.
No parent, poor or rich, has a
right to the sum total of mendi-
cancy.
4. Reverence is a rapidly van
ishing virtue. Liberty is degen-
Grating into licens-. Without a
due regard for sacred things dis
tinctions are lost; good and bad,
right and wrong, virtue and vice
become matters of indifference.
Parents must inspire and demand
Difference for the divine as well
as themselves. The young must
needs cultivate the reverential
spirit.

can be tire good citizenship.
People can do their duty
only by getting the best education

Worth Of Scientific Studies.

we mentioned few days ago
the marvellous paper in the cur
rent Atlantic Monthly, from the
pen Of Prof. Muir, on the "Yo-
semitic National Park" We
We're shown a letter yesterday,
written by father to his daught-
er, calling her attention to Prof.
Muir's article, and bidding her
mark that the study of science is
after all, the training that devel-
opes best and gives the brightest
plumage to the wings of the
Imagination. He babe his child
further to mark how natures
highest effects are wrought by
the simplest agents, the raindrops,
the snowAakes, the sun-beams-
making the soil of continents and
sowing that soil with, seed which
in the fullness of time are to frucli-
fly and sustain the lives of count
less animals and men. 1t is true too.
If a poet wants inspiration, he can
find nothing of ancient data, finer
for a stimulant for his fancy than
the book of Job where natures
awful manifestations are portrayed
through the sublime interroga-
tories, like these:
Dost thou know the balancing of the
cloudsP
Hast thou with him spread out the
sky?
Where vast thou when l laid the
foundations of the earth.
Whereupon are the foundations
thereof fastened, or who laid the cor
ner-stone thereof?
Or, who shut up the seas with doors
when it broke forth?
When l made the cloud the garment,
and thick darkness a swaddling band
for it?
Where is the way where light dwell
eth, and as for darkness, where is the
place thereof?
BY what way is the light parted,
which scattered the east wind upon
the earthP
Who pFovideth for the raven his
food, when his young ones cry unto
God?
Doth the hawk fly by thy wis dom
and stretch her wings towards the
south?
Doth the eagle mount up at thy COM
mand and make her nest on high?
For years all those things were
treated as only the sublime crea-
tons of an Oriental imagination,
until science in her groupings has
demonstrated that most of them
are but descriptions of the results
OF the operations of natural laws.

Prairie Chickens Cannot Be Killed
Till aug. Is.
There appears to be much mis-
understanding throughout the
state regarding the provisions of
the game law relative to the date
when the season for killing prairie
chickens and other game birds is
open. A law passed at the re-
cent session OF legislature fixed the
date at August rst, but the act
creating the Office Of state game
warden amended that provision of
the law and made the date Aug
ust 18th. The original law was
approved in February and the
latter on March 13th. The pro-
visions of the latter law relating
to the killing of birds are as fol-
lows:
"Sec. IA. Ii shall be unlawful
for any person or persons to kill,
ensnare, trap or destroy any
quail except between the 3Ist day
of October and the first day Of
December of each year.
"Sec. IS. 1t shall be unlawful
for any person or persons to kill,
ensnare, trap or destroy any par :
fridge, pheasant, grouse, prairie
chicken, sage hen or fool hen ex-
cept between the fifteenth day of
August and the 1st day of De-
cember of each year; provided,
that no monaghan pheasant shall
be killed, ensnared, trapped or
DESTROYED for a period of three
years next following the passage
of this act.

town almost adjoining Hampton. The
scourge appeared among the negroes,
and six cases and two deaths were re-

situation except that the authorities

regarded as prudent to some point
north, to remain until the disease has

Joseph Mastin is one of the victims OF
yellow fever at PhOebus, and the most
remarkable feature of his case is the
fact that ne believed he had yellow

that two negroes died there yesterday
is erroneous.
