SINCE SENATOR MORGAN has become
an imperialiat he has been all cted
with other lapses from the policy OF the
democratic party. He now says ne De-
lieves silver should not be made a
prominent feature in the next national
democratic platform. With no silver
plank, and with interoceanic canal
blanks and planks in favor OF crushing
liberty in the Philippine Republic,
there would be little difference between
the democratic, and the republican
platforms. But the history of political
platforms in this country shows that
they are made only for politicians to
lump from.

WEALTH and education, which all
men strive for, have proved the greatest
evils that could have befallen this coun'
try. The former has been confined ID
the pockets OF few, and where wealth
accumulates, men decay. Education
makes poor people dissatisfied With
their condition and repudiate the idea
that men must earn their bread by the
sweat of their faces. Both together
tend to depopulate the towns and VII
lagos and make grass grow i'll the
streets theirof, and TO crowd the cities
With idlers, for whom the devil Away

A LION on FIRE

A calloW youth, a cigarette, match
and lion combined effects at the Lin
coin Park 100 10 Chicago Oh Sunday f
ternoon and caused one OF the strange!
Danics on record. Leo, The largest o.
the Lincoln Park lions, was calmly
sleeping in his new open air cage, sur
rounded by several hundred men, wo.
men and children, when the cigarette
smoking youth joined the multitude.
His cigarette had gone out and after
relighting it he tossed the still fam
ing match into the cage. 1t stuck
in Leo'5 name. An instant later q
thin spiral of smoke began to ascend
from the lions neck, and then the
trouble began.
With a tremor that shook his mas
sive frame all over the lion awake, and
raising on bis iorepaws to sitting po-
sition, he shifted around as if investiga-
Ting. He found his troubles quickly.
The blazing tuft of mane fell athwart
the royal nose and in moment he was
on his feet bowling as if possessed OF
demons and making frantic efforts to
break through the cage.
The crowd seemed to enjoy the un-
usual scene until some brilliant voice
shouted: HELL get out sure"
Then there was stampede. Men,
women and children dashed for an open
space twenty yards away. Some reach
ed it in safety; some did not. A dozen or
more women and children were knock
ed down and trampled on, and four wo-
men tainted, and even before the panic
of the sightseers had been quieted the
roars OF fear let out by Leo were taken
up by the animals in adjoining cages
and Bediam reigned for some time.
Keeper De Vry appeared upon the
scene with small hose in time 10 save
all but Leo's name. The cigarette youth
was among the first to escape and could
not be found.

Grand Duke George, brother OF the

10 the Caucasus, from sudden and
violent hemorrhege resulting from
phthisis, which for years had rendered
his life most precariou5. He had for a

his disease preventing him from living
anywhere but in the pure air OF the
Caucasus, and occasionally for short
time on the shores of the Mediterranean.
No details of his end have been made
public but his death, apparently, was

years past.
Grand Duke Michael, youngest broth
er of the Gar, who now becomes Care

Duke George was forestal'ed by the re-
cent imperial arrangements, which pro
vded that should the Gar die withou'
an heir the throne would pass to Grand
Duke Michael, Grand Duke George re
nouncing his title of CZarevitch on &C.
count of his malady. The arraDg ments
also provided that should minor sue.

should act as regent during the minor
ity of the Gar.
The court at st. Petersburg will be in

STILL ALIvE.-Charles Oliver, who
was seriously cut in an ARRAY at Ken
more, Fairfax county, on Sunday, is
still alive, but in a critical condition.
Little hope is entertained for his re-
covery. He is wounded near the heart,
and his spine is also Injured. From re-
ports that have been received it seems
that Chas. Armstrong and his brother
William were giving dinner at their
home on Sunday. Charles and James
Oliver were included in the list of
guests. 10 the afternoon, after drink k
ing heavily, it is said, the Armstrong
brothers became involved in family
quarrel, which ended in fierce fight.
James Oliver endeayored to separate
the brothers and finally did so. He
held Charles Armstrong firmly in his
grasp. The latter requested to be re-
leased, saying he was through fighting.
When released, however, he turned
upon James Oliver and attacked him
with a knife. At this point Charles
Oliver attempted to dsarn the now
thoroughly frenzied Armstrong. In
doing go he was stabbed three times,
once, lust above the heart.
