TlLLMAR ON DEMOCRACY.
Gives His Idea of the Future of the Party
Reorganization Not Needed.

The Cosmographic Company of New
York has secured the following state
ment from Senator Tillman concerning
the proposed reorganization of the
Democratic party:
I have your letter of recent date, in
which you ask: What is the future of
the Democratic party? Must it be re-
cast upon new lines or return to the
original ones? Where shall the re-
organization begin, etc?"
The smoke of the recent political bat
tie has hardly cleared away or suffi-
cient time been given to study the full
returns of the election. Enough is
known to show that the Democratic
party is not dead nor is it about to die.
McKinley's election is attributed to two
causes: venality and ignorance. Un-
der the first head would be embraced
use of money lavishly to control votes;
the love of money above principle or
patriotism, and the coercion OF voters
who were afraid of a return OF hard
times and loss Of work. Under the
second head would be embraced a
large mass of ignorant foreigners who
have not become assimilated or become
Americanized, who are ignorant of our
institutions and are more or less infiu-
enced by the ideas they brought with
them from the old world. A large num-
ber of business men who thought pros
perity was the result Of Mckinley S
election, and who dreaded a panic II
Bryan was elected. These were con-
tent to let we'll enough alone, having
an eye solely to the business aspect
rather than the underlying principles
involved in the contest. They were ig-
norant and too cowardly, rather than
venal.
The Democratic party does not need
reorganization. It cannot be attempted
until the next national convention Is
held, and the most pitiable sight of a
self respecting man is the rush which
has been made by the traitors who
brought the party nigh unto death IN
1896 to resume control.
The fight to restore the republic to
the principles of the fathers and to
stand by the constitution which they
framed. must go right along the lines
formulated at Kansas City. Nothing
is ever settled until it is settled right.
The Bryan Democracy. as 1t has been
termed in dcriSion. will either triumph
in the end or the republic is doomed
Like Nelson at Trafalgar, let us nail

AS SHE DESCRIBED TIT was the
first day Of school. The bell had tap
ped and the little children Of the Sec
ondary primary were sitting upright IN
their seats, hands properly folded and
with round eyes fixed on the new teach
er, taking a mental inventory.
She was a bit nervous. 1t was her
first school. The children made her
"igdety," they stared at her so hard
and watched her so narrowly.
She began to feel like mouse that
is within the clutches Of a cat. She
cast about wildly in her mind for some
occupation to begin the first day. She
regretted bitterly that she had not ar
ranged some definite plan Of campaign.
Then her face frightened. She would
find out what the children already
knew. Question followed question,
touching on diverse subjects.
Now, who knows what a skeleton
is?" asked the teacher, smiling coax
ingly.
The little girl wearing the pink ging-
ham apron and occupying the back
seat waved her hand wildly and work.
ed her mouth in frantic endeavor to get
teacher" to look at her.
well, what is it,"
"a skeleton" said the tot, twisting
her apron in her fingers, ''is man who
has his insides outside and his outsides
off."-Denver Times.

THEIR SIMILAR MoTIvE.-They had
been married three months and they
were having their thirteenth quarrel
always an unlucky number.
"You only married me for my mon
ey," he said.
II didn't do anything Of the kind,
she retorted.
"Well, you didn't marry me because
you loved me?'
II know I didn't"
I'm heavens name what did you mar
ry me for them"
Just to make that hateful Susan
Miller you were engaged to cry her eyes
out because she had to give you up"
He fell down on the white bearskin
rug at her feet, and rolled over in 1t
until he looked like huge SNOWFALL.
Great Caesar, woman!" he shrieked,
What have you done? Didn't you
know 1 married you just because she
threw me over?"

THEY HAD ALL LOST ONE.-An old
gentleman, evidently a gatherer OF
statistics, but with a kindly face which
shaded off to something like philan-
thropy about the edges, was gazing
abstractly down Regent street, London,
says Titleman, who was waiting for a
bus, and, touching him lightly on the
shoulder, said: Excuse me, but did
you just drop a sovereign" holding
out in his hand the coin mentioned.
The gentleman questioned made a
hasty search of his pockets and said:
why, so 1 did! And I hadn't missed
it," holding out an eager hand.
The old man drew forth note book
and took his name and address, and
then said, II thought So" turning
away.
WELL" said the other, "do you want
it as a reward?"
II did not find one" said the old
man, "but it struck me that in a large
city like this there must be lot of
money lost, and upon inquiry find
you are the thirty-first man who has
lost a sovereign this very morning.

HIS SYMPATHY.-An old housewife in
the country was bemoaning her power
ty to an unsympathetic husband.
Things amt as they used ter be-
she complained. why, amt got any
thing like I used ter hev. 1 amt got
quilts enough to go round the beds,
there's two of the best chairs broken,
and I amt got no dress that's really
fit to wear ter meetin', and if was ter
die ternight wouldn't have cap ter
be buried in"
The old man had stood the whln-
ing as long as he could.
Blast it all, then," he fiercely ejacu-
lated. why didn't yer die when yer
did hev a cap?"

the colors to the masthead and fight
until victory is ours. We cannot af-
ford to despair of the republic and the
trouble of the imperialists has just be-
gun. Their program involves the con-
tinuation of high taxes, a large stand
ing army, and the guarantee that pros
perity will be maintained for four
wears. The people will grow restless
and tired of the first two, and common
sense teaches that the vaunted pros
perity which appears to have controlled
the result of the election cannot last.
If we fight as a party bravely and
stand by our principles unf1inchingly
there Is everything to make us hopeful
of the future. Yours truly,
B. R. TILLMAN.

termediary link between the man-like
ape and man.
The first Of the Pithecan,hropi orig,-

riod. which equally veracious biologists
tell us lasted eleven hundred thousand
years! Horace was the first poet and
scientist who laid down the principle
that the human mind can grasp an inf
mite period Of time far more readily than
thousand years. The tertiary period
therefore gave the finishing touch TO man
as he Is known by form today.
This very low type Of silent prirneval

evoluted from the man-like ape by be-
coming completely habituated to an up
right walk and by corresponding differ
entiation of both pairs Of legs. The fore
hand Of the Anthropoides became the hu-
man hand. and the hinder hand became
foot for walking and supporting the
body erect.
Much as they were like men, these
apes did not possess the real and chief

from the history of the development, OF
