the Democratic party that any Demo
crat knows of. A few gentlemen who
thought they were Democrats quit the
party when they found out their mis-
take. but their going did not ''split the
party" any more than The removal OF
a bunion splits the foot. Colonel Wat
til the party infused a whole lot OF
new life into the real article at the
Chicago convention. 1t amazed him
to get a good look at the simon pure
stuff, and he has not yet recovered
all the harder for the colonel and
those of his way of thinking is the de-
lusion that when they walked away
the party was .ssplit" wide open. He
hates sympathy, but it is given to him
all the same so as to tighten the bur-
den of his delusion.
Colonel Watterson imagines the
Democratic party Is not a party of
principles; that it lives from year to
year upon the ever changing opinions
of few self-appointed guardians. and
that when they speak the rank and file
should hold their ears to the ground.to
get their instructions. Another trouble
with those who think the party is split
is that they can not get it straight in
their heads that no man upon the face
of the earth is necessary to the Demo-
cratic party, but that the party is nee
essary to the preservation of Jeffer-
sonian principles of government in the
United States. Croker OF New York,
Morton of Nebraska, Cleveland of New
Jersey and few others of that class
of democrats" including Henri Wat
terson of Kentucky, would better pos
sess their souls in peace. The Demo
cratic party is exactly where it was
century ago in the matter of principles
of government, and the last time the
party met as whole to reiterate its
economic and political doctrine was in
1896. Nor has the party ever been
without it's Clevelands, its Wattersons,
its Crokers and its Mortons, but always
as now, they 'split" themselves off the
party and then go and wallow in the
delusion that ''the party is split" In
this connection it might be we'll to
observe that the leaders of the Repub-
lican party are talking just like Nor
ton, Croker and the rest, that 1.-THE
Democratic party is split playing
upon the same bugle. Wonder why it
is so?-K. c. Times.

Scenes In Manila.

William NJ. Pipkin, an American
with the army in the Philippines.
writes to Pitt Cloudas, of Chillicothe,
Mo-. these descriptions of scenes in
Manila:
Il wrote you in my last that /
would endeavor to give you pen pic
ture of this city. Since that promise
have done little running around, and
find that the city is more filthy and
its streets more disgusting than l on
first examination thought, notwith-
standing the fact that the enterprising
Yankee is eudeavoring to eliminate
the Objectionable features which sur
round the city's greatness; for great it
is, in that it is an extremely nice city,
and one which may yet be made a
magnificent center of trade in the
Orient. The only drawback is the
fact of it's being so low as to preclude
the possibility of successful drainage.
The inhabitants for the most part
live in houses raised from eight to ten
feet above the ground, and in most
cases beneath their houses stands pools
of water, veritable fever-breeding
hells.
s'In the business. or thickly settled
portion of the city, the roofs are of
galvanized or corrugated iron. All
government buildings are thus rooted.
In the city proper, nearly all the
houses are erected of congiomerate,
plastered smooth outside and in, and
either finished by plaster of paris or
hara wood. The only wood used in
the construction of houses is mahog-
any of the finest grade. All timbers
of whatever dimension of less than two
inches in thickness, are hewe1 out,
there being but one saw mill on the
entire island, and it with capapacity
of about 1000 feet per day. Surely
Spain was two centuries behind the
age here on the Island of Luzou.
1.-The poorer classes use houses built
wholly of bamboo, with walls of plait-
ed palm leaves, the covering for roof
of same material, so that when built
and left standing awhile, the walls and
roof become colored and they bear a
striking resemblance to huge hay ricks
set up on stills. The native, in build

words, the first part of his hut con-
structed is the roof; should he desire
a roof OF certain shaped hip, conical
or otherwise, he builds the frame of
bamboo poles, either round or split,
puts it together with withes, lays his
thatch of woven palm leaves and when
ready raises his roof entire and sets it
on its posts. Is the roof heavy2 BY

short blocks, one sees a stone wall,
possibly nine feet in height. running
parallel with a narrow cross street,
the wall being in length one thousand

rare bit, for not in all instances has
the flesh decayed. l saw in several
instances flesh still clinging to the
bones. Hundreds of skulls, arm and

"TEDDY" IS A SAD BIRD NOW.
Well Meaning Bald Eagle That Served
as Rough Riders Mascot Has
Met Sore Defeat.

After well-meaning bald eagle has
served as a mascot for the rough riders
and vanquished every other inha abitant
of his cage since the war, it comes hard
TO be thrashed by two bald-headed in
truders, who never saw Cuba or
squawked defiance al hostile Spaniards.
And doubly hard is it to be used as an
animated mop by still another pair of
shiny-pated fighters, says the New
York Press.
That is the reason why Teddy" the
eagle who brought luck TO Col. Roose-
velt's regiment, now makes his bed on
hard rock near the ground, while his
four conquerors look down on him
from the highest perch of the eagle
cage in the Central Park zoo. "Teddy'
was boss of the cage until Superintend-
ent Smith introduced pair of bald
eagles named the Heavenly Twins
They proceeded, by working together
to make ''Teddy' hang his head in hu-
initiation, and another pair that was
brought in later made matters worse
for the once proud bird Teddy"
fought hard, but he had no more chance
than the Spaniards whom he once de-
rided.

VALUABLE TIMEPIECE.
1t Is an English Watch That Varies
Only One-Third of a Sec
Ond q Day.

A watch of remarkable perfection is
described in the London Times, it's dis
tinction resting on the fact of it's hav-
ing just gained the Kew certificate or
"Class A, especially good with the ex-
traordinary mark of S8.1 out of possi-
BILE 100. To win the latter a watch
would have to be absolutely perfect as
scarcely within the range of practical
achievement.
This watch, an all-English pocket
chrOnOmeter, has mean Variation of
daily rate amounting to only one-third
of a second, and the mean difference be-
tween the extreme gaining and losing
rates to four seconds. The makers at
tribute this result to the use Of a re-
volving escapement, or tourbillou de-
vice in which the frame that carries the
escapement is made to revolve slowly
but continuously in the main frame by
the action of the watch, thus reducing
the error in timekeeping from change
OF position-a piece of mechanism
which does not materially increase the
complication of the watch, involving.
in fact, the addition of one wheel only.
While the marks of this watch for
temperature compensation are not
claimed to be unsurpassed-as many as
1S.7 having been recorded out of 90
those fossmallness in variation in daily
rate and for absence of positional er--
rors are unusually good.

Phinney's Band at Columbus.

A special feature in con nection with
the State Firemen's tournament to be
held at Columbus this week, and one
which our people cannot well afford
to waive, will be the engagement of
the celebrated Phinney's United States
band, of Chicago, formerly the Iowa
state band, of Worlds fair fame.
This magnificent company of artists,
which represents the United States at
the Paris exposition neXtyear, has been
secured at great expense by our enter
prising Columbus neighbors expressly
for a free open air concert at 10
o'clock Thursday forenoon, and an
other concert at the grOunds where
the tournament races occur, in the
afternoon. To hear this band will be
to many of us the chance of d life
time, and we trust our readers and
their friends will not miss the excep-
tional opportunity.

The Ideal Letter.

We have always heard that letters,
notes and invitations should be an
swered promptly. That is the rule of
pOliteness; but there is a deeper wis
dom in being not ouly prompt, but in
using all possible care in the manner
of every sort of written communication
People write so easily nowadays, and
the postal facilities are so sure and
swift, that the long. exhaustive and
often exhaustlng epistles that we used
to send are no longer in vogue. A
good letter writer is as rare as good
talker, and much more important.
What we once 'sput in black and
white" is forever witness for or
against us. Only a short time ago |
quoted a statesman whose great popu-
larity was due to his unvarying prompt
ness in answering all letters. AS a
man in public life he must have made
a study Of the science of success, and
his example is self-evident.
To write briefly, clearly, happily,
putting everything in the best and
simplest form, is gift, but one that
must be cultivated by any one who APP
reciates the necessary fine points.
The ideal letter says not too much. nor
too little; is neither cramped nor ex-
trayagant in expressio2, and always
says the right thing III the right place
There are many who can write pleas
ant, graceful things more easily than
they can speak them, and there
are others whose conversation is easy
enough, but who write letters that are
stupid almost beyond belief. | think
most people are too reluctant about
writing to their friends upon occasions
of great JOY or sorrow. Letters Of
cOngratulation are always pleasing to
those to whom happiness has come,
and add to the qualification of knowing
that others are glad for them. One
should never hesitate to send a letter
of coincidence. If it contains only a
simple expression of sympathy it can
never be painful, The grief is already
known and the consciousness that

the deepest sorrow look for express
sions Of sympathy from those whom
they love, and the omission is felt
more keenly than another can under
stand. happened once to be with a
friend who had learned a great sorrow
which had come to another, a com
mon friend. She expressed her deep
sympathy and her unwillingness to
write for fear her letter would serve
as a painful reminder. A little time
afterward [ heard the bereaved woman
wonder why her friend had forgotten
her in her trouble.
Every letter Of coincidence should
be acknowledged promptly, with a
line written on ones visiting card,
thanking SO and SO for her kind ex-
preston Of sympathy. AS life goes
on it is capital well invested never to
forget ones friends in Joy, sorrow,
illness or death, and every thought
should be carefully weighed and cor
rectly expressed d-Milwaukee Journal.
