Republican wishes farther the story
sent out from Washington, several days
ago, that movement was on foot to
put another gold democratic presiden-
tial ticket in the field next year. No
such movement is known among demo.
Gratis, and no such action is expected to
get the support of any considerable
number of democrats, because they all
know that it is not being instigated by
democrats, but by republicans, whose
only object is to draw support from the
regular democratic ticket A number
of democrats who took part in organ
izing the Palmer and Bucker move
ment, have since acknowledged then
mistake and their regret, and express
ed their intention to stand by the regu,
lar nominations hereafter, because the
democratic party as whole stands fol
most of the things they believe in. AL
though republican money is likely tc
be freely used to bring about such q
condition, there is absolutely nothing
in sight at this time, to indicate the
nomination of gold democratic ticket
next year.

Attorney General Griggs, before go
ing off on his summer vacation, shat
tered the hopes of numerous persons
who thought they had everything fixed
to secure valuable Porto Rican con-
cessions from the war department, by
rendering opinions upon three specific
concessions-the right to use the water
power Of the river Plata, the right TO
build and operate tramway, and the
right to build and control, for all time,
piers and wharves at Ponce. These
opinions take the ground that all such
concessions were the crown property OF
Spain, and sums them nil and apparent

island, up as follows: "As crown prop

One of the conundrums of the hour
is why the sending of a cablegram to
Gen. Otis, conveying an expression Of
Mr.. McKinley's confidence in him, and
satisfaction with all he has done, in
Guiding his press censoring, should
have been kept secret for ten days after
it was sent. Some say that Mr.. Nc
Kinley wanted to ascertain how far
public sentiment would go in support
ing the demand for the recall of Otis,
and if that demand had been little
stronger, the cablegram would have
been suppressed entirely, 1t was cyl
IDENTIFY kept back for some purpose,
And it wouldn't have been the first
time that official matters have beer
made public or suppressed by this ad
ministration in Difference to the state
of public opinion.

A Soldier Dies.

In honor of Sergeant Will Range,
son of Landon and Mrs. Okey Range,
of Garter county, late q Sergeant in
company G, 1st United States infantry,
and at the time of his death serving
with his regiment at Pinor Del Rio,
having enlisted at the preside, San
Francisco in 1893, and at the outbreak
OF the Spanish-American war, was or
dered with his company to the front
and participated in the three days
fighting before Santiago in which the
LIST took prominent part and in which
the American arms won such glorious
achievements and the complete cap
ture and surrender of the Spanish
forces.
Will was a good boy, a nice young
man in the prime of manhood, and it
pains his friends to hear of his untime-
ly end, not by leaden missile, but by
intestional obstruction, he being at the
time-June 14th, 1899, doing garrison
duty, having returned to the United
States after the close of hostlities and
his regiment being ordered to Cuba for
the second time.
In letter to his mother, bearing date
July 8th, from Lieut.. W. H. McClee,
company G, appriSing her of his death,
he spoke in the highest terms of Will
as soldier, of which there can be no
doubt, as he was courageous, although
of gentle, affectionate nature, and his
many friends extend their sympathy to
his widowed mother, Will being her
only living child. 1t is said that he
who honestly serves his country serves
it best. To this we only cite you to
his military record rs a soldier in the
discharge of his duty. He gave all -
his life. What more can be exacted?
He is gone; he sleeps tonight on en-
ban soil, his soul has taken fight. lie
sleeps on "Fame's Eternal Camping
Ground; he has heard the last rufiled
tattoo, the last beat of the drum, the
last call to arms, the summons came,
and he has paid the debt of all.

Representative Griffith, who repre-
sents the Indiana district which sent
the late Judge Holman to congress for
so many years, said of politics in his

men who were for Mr.. Bryan and the
Chicago platform in 1896, have not
weakened in their faith regarding eth

the indestructibility of the principles Of
democracy, and though the party may
suffer temporary defeat, it is sure to re-
gain ascendency, for it represents bet.
ter than any other political organization
the true interests of the people. The
predominant issue in 1900 is very apt to
be war upon the trusts, and upon this,
the democrats will be in far better po-
sition than their opponents. The vo.
ters of the country cannot be deluded
by antitrust declarations of the repub.
lican convention; they understand that
there is no real antagonism between
the leading men of that party and the
trusts, but that on the contrary, the
closest intimacy exists, seeing thai
most of the influential republicans are
thoroughly identified with combines
and monopolies. We had agreat chance
in 1896, and we came very near sue

chance in 1900. I see nothing in thu

simply dents under a blow without
cracking or marring. This would seem

is called. A neat little brochure on

facturers of Liquid Granite, which
