Truth VS.. FalsehOOd.

Under the above capJlOn, Ine
West Point Leader finds fault
with us for our article CUT Bono
on the missionary results in
China and charges our authority
with falsehood, and being ga
most unreasonable liar" Now
we believe the statement made
in said article is in accordance
with natural tendencies and
practical results. We are not
going to discuss the question
with our friend but will repro
duce an article from our favorite
Medical Journal od our first page
next week to which we call the
attention of the Leader editor,
for whom we entertain the
friendliest feelings and very
highest regard and esteem him
as a man without fear and
without reproach" and whose
motives are all good. Now b o.
Carlisle we note from the pages
of your paper that you say you
are going to turn loose yonr pent-
up wrath, that you have been
holding in allegiance against the
Times in your city and that por-
zion of the people who with it
differ from you and have been
camping on the trail of the
Leader for years. Don't do it
Bro. Carlisle, it will only hurt
you and your paper. This is
a fact and the operation of a
natural law. However right
you may be from your stand
point. all these of which you
complain exist because your in
fl fence and that of your friends
heretofore have been unable to
abate them. There is always
in every community enough of
the rigid and liberal to strike a
safe balance, and any war of
either element upon the other
will be futile, better let things
drift as society wants them.
Your friends Bro. Carlisle will
not support you as they should
and you will make nee lless cue.
mics that can and will injure
you. An editor should always
have ideas and express them on
public issues or policies, but in
social and local affairs he had
better let the people have what
they want, aud derive support
from both sides.

Reorganized
Democracy.

are rarely overcome in persons
as to feeling, or in public policies
as to principles, and those who
entertain them. The Vicksburg
Herald says:
las the air is full just now of
all manner of vague and confus-
ing talk of democratic reorgan-
ization of "voices crying in the
wilderness of party degradation
and despair-it is well to estab-
lish the premise right; without a
true base, the lines run will lead
to other errors. Any real dag
nosis will confirm this view:
That Bryan was but a symptom
the core of the ulcer lies deeper.
The Democratic masses are the
physician, and it is a case of
physician heal thyself. > AS
to curatives-deep wounds such
as Democracy is suffering from
must heal from the bottom ana
not the surface. 1t takes time,
too, so the plans and the pan
aceas that are now cou.ing up
from every conflicting source
before the seismic convulsion has
yet settled-are of little value.
The inception and birth of a new
spirit is the true remedy
These are words of sober truth,
and momentus import. 1.-The
birth of a new spirit is the true
remedy" Will this spirit be
born? We doubt it. Natures
currant is hard to change. The
Clarion-Ledger, voicing as we
take it the dominent democratic
sentiment of the State, says, in
substance, that the gold bug
democrats who supported and
voted for Bryan in the last cleo
ton can have a voice in shaping
the future Of the party, but the
traitorouS sort like Cleveland
and Carlisle need never hope for
any say in it's affairs. If this
idea prevails there will never be
a united democracy as success
full one, because the principles
advocates by the gold bug and
Cleveland Democracy are shar-
ed by an erwhelming majority
of the people of the United
States as the election prove in
contradistinction of Organism
and the defeated democracy.
The Chicago Chronicle depicts,
in few terse lines. the situation
when it declares that "from
Maine Westward to the Rocky |
Mountains, north of the Ohio
River line, there is not a Demo
cratic Governor, there is not a
Democratic United States Sena-
tor, there are few Democratic |
Congressman, and Democrats in
office of any description are so rare
that party embracing at least
one half of the population may
be said almost with literal truth
to have been excluded from par
ticipation in public affairs.
The Picayune says there never
will be another Democratic Pres
ident so long as there are in the
great States of the North and
Middle West no Democratic Gov
ernors and Senators, and only a
few Democratic members of the
House. Here, then, is one of
the points to be examined.
Sectionalism must be eradicated
from the grand old party, and it
be put back upon its proud and
powerful national basis. When
that shall be done, there will be
hope for the Democracy"
eff the defeat and apparent
1efec lion of the Democrats have
been caused by their wandering
away from the ancient doctrines
of the party, then the remedy is
to get back to them"
This will never be done under
the leadership and DrinciDles of

HIS REAL NAME.-When Lord Ran,
dolph Churchill was last in America,
he visited Philadelphia; and, while
collecting statistics relating to state
prisons of Pennsylvania, he was re.
ferred 10 the head of the state prison
board, Cadwallader Biddle. Before
calling upon Mr.. Biddle, however,
Lord Randolph fell into the hands OF
some wags of the Union League club.
"You've got the name wrong," said
one of the merry testers; it's not Cad
wallader Biddle, but Bidcallader Wad-
dle."
"Don't mind what he says, Lord Ran
dolph," exclaimed another; "the real
name is Wadbillader Caddle."
A third member took the ex-chancel-
lor of the exchequer aside, and i'm
parted to him in confidence that he
was being gulled on all sides.
"What then, is the actual name OF
the prisons board chief?" anxiously
asked the noble lord.
"The actual name," confded his
false friend, ''is Didbollader Widdle. "
And when Lord Randolph drove to
the prisons board that evening, he was
so upset that he stammered:
"Will you take this card into MIR.
Bid-cad-wid- wad- did -dollader,
what's his name !? II mean the chief OF
the board, but I forget his extraordi-
nary nomenclature combination"

QUESTIONS AND ANswERs-As school
inspector, we'll known for his weight
was trying to extract the word "flesh'
from a class. His efforts had failed
but taking hold of his fat cheek be-
tween his thumb and forefnger, he
pulled it out and asked:
"What's this?
The unhesitating answer came
promptly, "Pork, SIR"
The same inspector was once giving
an object lesson on an umbrella. TIC
illustrate his subject he took his own
umbrella, which happened to have q
small hole in it.
"What is this, boys?"
can umbrella, SIR"
"And what is this ?"
"The stick, SIR"
"And these ?"

"With what is it covered ?"

"Surely you know. What kind o.
an umbrella would you call it?"

NICARAGUA CANAL BILL.
As Amended 1t Will Be Taken Up on May
and 2.

As Amended 1t Will Be Taken Up on May
and 2.
The house committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, last Friday,
made an important change in the Hep
burn Nicaragua canal bill, striking out
the provision for the "forti6cation'
and thus providing what is expected
to be compromise which will aid in
bringing the measure to an early con-
sideration.
The amendment was proposed by
Representative Barham, of California,
The chairman of the committee was
instructed to offer it on consideration
of the bill at the proper time as com
mittee amendment thereto.
The amendment was agreed to, not
without some expressions of reluc-
tance; but with view to overcoming
opposition and securing action. In its
new form the section reads as follows
BE it enacted, etc., that the president OF
the United States be and is hereby author
lied to acquire from the States of Costa
Rica and Nicaragua for and in behalf OF
| the United States, control OF such pro-
portion ofterritory now belonging to Costa
Rico and Nicaragua as may be desirable
and necessary on which to excavate, con
struct, and protect canal of such depth
and capacity as will be sufficient for the
movement of ships Of the greatest ton
mage and draft now in use, from point
near Greytown, on the Caribbean sea
via Lake Nicaragua TO Breto, on the "a
cific coast and such sum as may be nee
essary to secure such control is hereby
appropriated out of any money in the
treasury not otherwise appropriated.
Sec. 2. That when the president has Sc
cured full control over the territory in
section l referred to, he shall direct the
secretary of war to excavate and construct
a canal and waterway from point on
the shore of the Caribbean sea near Grey
town, by way of Lake Nicaragua, to
point near Breto, and the Pacific ocean.
Such canal shall be of sufficient capacity
and depth as that it may be used by ves-
sells of the largest tonnage and greatest
depth now in use and shall be supplied
with all necessary locks and other appli-
ances to meet the necessities OF vessels
passing from Greytown to Breto; and the
secretary of war shall also construct such
safe and commodious harbors at the ter
mini of said canal and such provision for
their defense as may be necessary for the
safety and protection of said canal and
harbors.
Mr.. Hepburn then announced that
it had been definitely arranged that
the house would take up the canal bill
on May and 2. Mr.. Hepburn says
the passage of the bill is unquestiona-
BILE.
Mr.. Barham, upon whose motion in
committee the changes in the bill were
effected, said: "In the amended form
ample authority is given to police and
protect the canal against destruction
by evil doers and by the time the canal
is completed, six or eight years hence,
there will be full opportunity to deter
mine whether the canal should be per-
manently protected by Notifications or
by our navy. For the present we avoid
needless issue in no way bearing on
the main question of constructing the
waterway"

The House

There are love stories that are simply
sweetly told tales. There are others in
which the love tale, sweet in itself, is
made part of an exciting plot.

latter. 1t is a story of the olden time
when there were knights and ladies and
when fighting was natural. 1t is ad.
mirably told and fascinating from begin.

One thing that induced us to purchase

that, although intensely interesting, it is
of different order from the serials that
