thought to have been lost on the ice last night
were rescued this morning

that about O'Clock last evening he and three 9TH

were cut off from shore by crack in the ice that
in places was 100 feet wide. He told Brothers he
would go to shore and get boat which he did.
When he returned, however Brothers was not in

water twice during his wanderings in the dark,
and it was with great difficulty that he finally
reached shore.

Misleading.

The Sentinel last week published some
newspaper extracts on the ratification of the
treaty. and headed them Democratic papers
on the opposiou Senators" Here is the list
of the Democratict?l papers
New York Sun.
New York Herald.
New York journal.
Washington Post
Philadelphia Record.
There is no more extreme Republican pa
per in the United States than the Sun. The
Herald and Post never claimed to be Demo
cratic The Record may be classed as Demo
cratic and also the Journal. All except the
Journal were Mckinley supporters in 1896,
and the Journal is jingo paper rather than
Democratic.
As list of Democratic papers it is a fraud.
The Sentinel published the extracts to CT ate

Advice to Democrats

The ADVOCATE has received numerous con-
gratulatiens upon its advice to the party IN
its issue of last week. They have come from
various parts of the county-from Democrats
who are not candidates; from Democrats who
are only interested in having capable persons
nominated for office, and economy and hon
esty in the administration of affairs; from
Democrats who are aspirants fol PGbnc Office,
and from Democrats who are men of large
influence and leaders in party affairs
In fact the party seems practically unanl-
nous in endorsing the advice given, and this
substantial unanimity angprs well for having
a ticket made by the mass of the party, tree
from any semblanee of undue influence.
We repeat what was said last week.
Candidates for public office should stand
upon their own merits.
No one should attempt to build up himself
by disparaging others.
There should be no contests for distric t
delegates.
In every district discreet and representative
men should be chosen as delegates.
The delegates should be uninstrueted, ex-
cept to place before the convention the names
of all aspirants in their respective districts.
Every Democrat has a right to seek nom :
;nation. and no one ought to be denied the
privilege Of having his name presented to the
nominating convention, by packed or pledged
delegations.
The Democrats can score a substantial VIC
tory in Carroll next fall if unity and harmony
prevail. The way to secure these is to have
a convention of unpledged delegates, and let
every candidates name be placed before the
convention for its consideration. by this
means no one will have cause for compliant,
and he who does complain will have only dull
listeners.
Most Democrats are more interested IN
Democratic success and the good that will
follow than in the ambitions Of individuals.
The character and capacity of candidates are
of more consequence than mere names or
geographical location of nominees. The main
body of Democrats want winning ticket OF
capable men, and they want nominating
convention composed of representative men,
free from instruction and unhampered IN the
selection OF candidates.

A Declaration of Policy.

In order to carry the Paris treaty through
the Senate, number Of Senators iavoring
ratification promised to pass resolution pre-
scented BY Senator MeEnery. of louisiana
declaring that by the ratification of the treaty
with Spain it was not intended to permanent
" annex the Philippine Islands or to ineor-
poraie its inhabitants into citizenship OF the
United States. The agreement was carried
into effect last Tuesday, the McEnery resola'
ton being passed BY vote Of 20 to -
The McEnery resolution is as follows
THAT by the ratification of the treaty
of peace with Spain it is not intended TO
incorporate the inhabitants Of the Philip
pine Islands into citizenship OF the
United States. nor "a il intended to per
manently annex said islands as an lnteg
raj part Of the territory of the United
States. but il is the intention OF the United
States to establish on said Islands gov
ernment suitable TO the wants and eondl-
tons Of the inhabitants of said islands,
70 prepare them for local seitgovern-
ment and in due time 10 make such DIS
Dosition of said islands as will best pro-
mote the interests of the citizens OF the
United States aud the inhabitants OF said
islands.
The resolution simply amounts 10 nothing.
1t has no binding force upon the administra-
tive part Of the government. Neither IS il Of
any value as indicating the sentiment OF the
Senate upon the policy of annexation-some
expansiouists voting for ii, IN accordance with
the agreement made to pass j, for votes for
ratification, knowing that it had no binding
effect, 'andsome opponents ofexpansion voted
against il, because il was meaningless as a
declaration Of policy.
MeEnery, Gray, Mason, Wellington, Martin
and other professed opponents of territorial
expansion. lost their opportunity when they
allowed the treaty to be ratified. The Nc
Emery resolution. meaning nothing, the ques-
ton will have to be taken to the people, and

Alger Kissed.

President Mckinley and Gen. Alger, Sec
Rotary of War, attended banquet of the
Home Market Club at Boston, on Thursday.
During parade through the streets Mckinley
was loudly cheered and Alger was greeted
with cries of ''beefl beefI' p and Kisses.
Why Mckinley should be cheered while
Alger was Kissed, is beyond conception.
Mckinley made Algerism possible, and it is
Mckinley who has stood by Alger steadfastly
in the face of a storm of criticism for his in
competency, bad management, "embalmed
beef" &c.
If Alger deserved to be Kissed, Mckinley
should not have escaped. He is responsible
for Alger and for all he has done.

To Farmers and Sportsmen.
For the pemocratic Advocate.

FOr me DelnOCTslIIC AUNOViIIt
Allow me to suggest to the people of our
county to make an effort to feed the partridges
and other birds so as to prevent them from
freezing and starving.
They have already become limited in num-
Der, and if something is not done for their
protection in this time of peril they will be-
come extinct, or nearly so.
1t will be of great assistance TO the birds il
some grain or food of any kind be distributed
in their haunts, and am sure if il is favOrably
placed that they will find it.

White" fly strong and run like a scared can
didate. Rabbits are not protected by law, in
fact few years ago there was a state premium
of few cents per head for the destruction of
the jack rabbit. He weighs fully ten pounds,
has ears six inches long, and is a handsome
target for rifeman. They are eatable, though
seldom used for food. Wolves are very pen-
tiful and the sly rascals may be heard bowling
most any night, for they come right into town
to look after their poultry interest. 1t is very
hard to get shot at them, as they never go
in packs here, like you read about, and are
no menace to human life, just shy wild dogs.
Doves are in great abundance and seem to be
increasing, though thousands are annually
killed and eaten. They are excellent.
