TRUE IN DEFEAT AND VICTORY

1t Is not Bryan that certain self
jefferson himself were alive and were
next year nominated for the Presi-
dency by the Democratic party, they
would oppose him, unless the platform
upon which he stood declared for gold,
expansion. currency contraction and
bank monopoly, or was silent on these
Issues with silence that meant con-
sent.
These men have been tried and found
wanting. In 1896 they deliberately de-
cided, of their own free choice, to aban-
don the revived and restored Jefferson
ian Democracy of the Chicago platform,
and threw their lot, vote and influence
in the Republican scale. Under Cleve-
land they had become Republicans In
fact. and were Democrats only in name;
and after their open apostacy and de-
sertion in 1896 they should be recognized
by Democrats only as Republicans.
Everyone of them admitted to our
camp is a danger and a menace, un-
less, in rcsuming his place in our ranks
he renounces his Republican heresies
and solcmnly renews his allegiance tc
the party, the constitution, the bill OF
rights, the Declaration OF Independ-
ence, and agrees that the silver and
gold legal-tender coin Of the constitu.
ton is good enough for him.
1t is no mere question of organiza-
tion and usurpation upon which we
differ with these men. The issue is
constitutional, involving high rights
powers, prerogatives and principles
and if they sun entertain the Views
they expressed in 1896. their place Is al
the heels Of Hanna and Mckinley and
not shoulder to shoulder with real
and faithful Democrats who know their
rights and dare avouch them in de-
feat, as well as in victory.

No true Democrat Will vote for the
Independent ticket or say word in

According to the World, to be a true
Democrat means to be slave and not
a free man. To be true Democrat"
one must not think for himself: must
not act for himself. lie must leave that
duty TO be performed by Thomas S.
Martin and Company. He must not
have or exercise any liberty in the dis
charge OF his political duties. He must
not and should not presume to stand
for the convictions OF an homes, hear;
or an intlligent head. He must throw
patriotism to the dogs. He must coun;
the Interests OF his home and mis- family
ms nothing. He must put himself on
the level of the dumb-drlven beast of

ENDITf

In Clay county. Kentucky, and in
that region. n state worse than war
exists. There is a deadly and implaca-
bic feud between two families and their
friends. and from all accounts, 1t is
more fierce and vcngeful than a Cor
sican vendetta. Murder, assassination
and fatal ARRAYS seem to be the occu-
patton of the people, for few of the
inhabitants are not involved on one
side, or the other, OF the quarrel! The
law is practically impotent, as appears
from the forced adjournment OF court.
OF justice and the flight OF judges.
That, In such. q condition of society law
can be properly administered must be
impossible, as even these not impll-
Gated nor identified with either faction
must be influenced more or less by fear
of the bclligercnts, and what may be
done to them or theirs. or their proper
ty
Even n member of one of the fami
lies to the feud has petitioned the Gov
crnor of the State TO abolish the coun.
ty and outlaw Its people, so that the
factions may mutually exterminate
each other. or be cxtermlnated by
others who cannot tolerate such com
munity OF homic!des whose vocation is
murder by waylaying and every COW
ardly device. That there is O similar
state OF affairs, TO some extent, in West
Virginia only makes IL the more i'm
perative on the authorities to adopt any
sure means TO restore order and law,
peace and safety

trustees to see to it that the libelous
article did not go in the paper. Regard
ing the matter in the complaint desig-
mated by Mr.. Corbett as Historical
Mr.. Walsh said that matter is neces-
sary to the complaint in order to ex-
plain the real significance of the libel
Gus article and to show why it is libel
Gus. The testimony taken before the
legislative committee, embodied in the
complaint, is necessary because of the
publication that Mr.. Whitesde's testi-
mony was perjured, and without it in
the complaint the newspaper articles m
reference to it would not be libelous.
Colonel Sanders, following Mr. Walsh
argued that the HISTORICAL matter of
the complaint was competent to show
Mr.. Whiteside's relation t. the publish
ed libel and as a setting for the vicious
attack made upon his character The
allegations are essential to a compre-
hension of the degree of the libel The
article complained of charged Mr.
Whiteside with conspiracy, assault and
perjury, and that is sufficient to consti-
tute libel without the necessity of al
leginS in the complaint that the plant
if was subjected by the publication to
ridicule, contempt and scorn On the
question of responsibility of trustees
Colonel sanders said the law made it
their duty to direct the business of the
corporation, and whether they perform
the duty or neglect it they are respon-
sihle for the acts of the corporation.
In concluding the arguments, Mr.
Corbett said that the worst that could
be published about some men would
not be libelous and could not damage
them, and therefore the mere allega.
ton Of the matter published was not
sufficient and must be followed by al.
legations of damage and that the party
complaining was subjected, as provided
py the code, to contempt, ridicult and
Scorn.

COLORADO RATS.
They Are Not Only Fierce Fighters, But
Arrant Thieves

Arrant Thieves.
A writer in the Century Magazine
tells us something about the mountain
rat of Colorado.
This fierce rodent is nearly twice the
size of the Norway species. and Is al
ways ready for fight. Besides his
beillcose propensities, he is a arrant
thief. The miners have a saying that
he will steal anything but a red-hot
stove. He does not steal to satisfy
hunger only; he he appears to be a
kleptomaniac.
Provoked by the depredations of one
old greybeard that haunted our cabin,
/ one day assisted in marrying his cas-
tie, where | found the following arti-
cles: Four candles, one partly burned,
three intact: two spoons, one knife,
two forks, tWenty-seven nails, all sizes;
one box pills. one coffee pot lid and one
tin cup; two pairs of socks; three hand
kerchiefs: one bottle of ink; three
empty phials; one stick giant powder
with ten feet of fuse; beans, rice and
dried apple galore.
His spirit of mischief is as strong as
his passion for stealing, and the honest
miner sOlemnly AYERS that if you leave
open a bag of beans and one of rice,
he will not rest until he has made a
clean transfer of all the beans to the
rice bag and vice versa. l know that
more than once he has, during the
night, filled one or both of my boots
with the cones of the spruce tree.
/ have heard, also, of a Veracious
prospector who returning from a trip
without coffee pot, frying pan and bake
oven, accounted for their absence by
declaring that the mountain rats had
carried them off, and emphasized his
assertion by shooting through the leg
of a skeptic who was SO injudictous as
to doubt the fact.

WOULD BE ONE AMONG MANY.
Foreign Count Who Was Engaged te
Several American Women.

Enterprising foreigners desiring to
enter into matrimonial relations with
American women would do well to pom
der on the case of Count Matte Liewen
Stierngranat son of the chamberlain OF
King Oscar of Sweden, who is now IN
Jail in New York city on charge OF
breach of promise preferred by young
lady of wealth and position. The count
is good example of the noble foreigner
who cometh to Columbia to seek bride
and fortune. He was arrested two
weeks ago at the suit of Miss Lesbla
M. Boswick. who alleged in her petition
that she had reason to believe that the
count was about to sail for Sweden, and
not marry her, as he had promised. The
count was Immediately arrested. and,
being unable to give $500 ball. was COM
mitted to jail.
The count is tall, handsome-l looking
young man of q years, and has all the
appearance of a gentleman born and
bred 1t is evident that he does not
consider the offense particularly helm
Gus one, and is more surprised at the
incarceration than concerned at his
fate. He explained to the justice be-
fore whom he was arraigned:
Il was not aware that l was obliged
to marry her simply because l had be-
come engaged. 1t was my impression
that I could become engaged to as
many girls as l desired and did not
necessary have to marry any of them
until l had really found that one had
suited me best
He was informed that although such
might be the custom in Sweden, it could
not go in America. and reserved his de-
cision. His father is one of the richest
and most influential men on the Scandi-
navian peninsula, and, although it is
improbable that $4,000 will be paid over
to the unhappy lady whose affections
the stalwart Swede has stolen, he will
undoubtedly be made to pay dearly for
his presumption.

A POLITICAL PREFACE.
Burlington Free Press |

The time is rapidly approaching
in Vermont when the adherents of
the various candidates for high office
will need to cease their indulgence in
invective and Aummery, and give the
people arguments OF a legitimate
sort, if they are to win votes for
their favorites. 1t is a reflection on
the intelligence of the people Of YER
mont to suppose that they can be in
duced to vote for any man by calling
his rival names, or caricaturing these
in the press by means of ford word
painting. Vermont wants men in
her State offices and as her represent
atives in the national councils who
are large enough to look down upon
peanut politics, and in the end she
is likely to secure public servants of
that class as a result of the various
contests whose preliminaries are now
upon us. Let us have a campaign
of which we shall not be ashamed
when we look back to see how our
public servants were chosen from
Vermont's long list of men of ability
and brilliant parts.

The olxmnia,s History.

Admiral Dewey's flagship, the
Olympia was built at the Union
Iron Works, San Francisco, the same
yards where the Oregon was built.
Her keel was laid in June, 1891, and
she was launched on November 5,
1892, completed April l, 1898, and
first commissioned February D, 1895.
She is a second class armored cruiser,
carrying armor varying from 3 12
to 4 1-2 inches in thickness. Her
main batterylconsists of ten five.inch
rapid fire guns and four ight-inch
breech loading rifles mounted in tur-
rets, and her secondary battery COM
prises IA rapid fire six-pounders,
seven rapid fire one-pounders, two
Colts and one field gun. She also
carries six Whitehead torpedoes. Her
displacement is $3.50 tons, and she
requires 81 officers and 416 men.
Her hull and machinery cost 81, 1885,
600. She was first sent on several
short cruises, and then was attached
to the Asiatic station.
In May, 1898, her name became
known the world over through the
battle of Manila Bay. Ia that fight
she was commanded by Captain
Chas. Vernon Gridley, who later, on
bis way home on sick leave, died &C
Yokohama. Japan. The death of
Captain GIidley who bore an honor
ed and important partin that battle,
was due to the nervous shock sus-
tanned during the fight. 1t was one
of the fortunes of war that at a
moment when Capt. Gridley was in
the coming tower of the shio this
mass of armor plate was stI uck by
one of the enemy's projectiIes, and
Captain Gridley neverrecovered from
the effects OF the conclusion.
