DQOI THEM.

The New Orleans Picayune with 9TH
or great democratic dailies sent out an
inquiry after the election To many
prominent democrats to know what
the democratic party must do to be
saved" Nearly all those invited made
replies. but the most logical reply. ac-
eording TO our way of thinking was re-
eeived from Hon T. c. Catchings Of
Mississippi He tells the party what to
let go of in the first place and then
what to take up. There is nothing to
the latter. it is true. except the tariff
question but there is no other question
before the American people that demo-
Gratis can unitedly stand up for one
side and republicans for the other.
Every true democrat is a low tariff
man and every true republican IS for a
protective tariff. The other points he
asks his party to stand for are not an
to republican ideas or prac-
Aces and although under the second
term of Grover Cleveland the demo-
Gratis proved inadequate to frame low
tariff satisfactory to themselves or the
country at large. yet it is the only is
sue that they can honestly come before
the country upon as united party.
Here is what Mr.. Catchings says upon
the subject:

English sportsmen are sore against
American horsemen and even urge a
boycott against our horses and jockeys.
The root of the trouble seems to be
that the seat of uor jockeys offends the
English idea. The English jockey sits
almost straight and stiff. while the
American bends over the neck OF the
horse and urges him on by the very po-
sition OF his body. The rider has the
right to adopt any position To acceler-
ate the speed Of his mount that does
not interfere with the course or with
any other rider and the American jock

REAGAN NOT SURPRISED.
He Expected Bryan TO Lead the Party
to Defeat.

Judge John Fl. Reagan. chairman of
the Texas Railroad commission. ex-
United States Senator. only living
member of Jefferson's cabinet and one
OF the South's honored democrats. is
out in an interview in which he says
he is not surprised at Bryan's defeat.
Judge Reagan stated that he was not
surprised at the defeat of Bryan be-
cause the issue were not presented
properly. He said that the party com
mitted a blunder when they attempted
to put the American people in the atti-
tude of sympathizing with an enemy
of the republic, and thereby placing
themselves against the United States. "
Judge Reagan continued;
THE federalists made the same mis-
take that our party made this time.
They were opposed to the purchase of
Louisiana. and in that day and time
means of transportation were so
crude that a trip from New York to
Louisiana consumed about the same
time that is now required to go from
the United States to the Philippines.
and our party is in error. and com
mits a grave blunder in opposing terri
torial expansion.
The issue should have been the cur
rency question. The republicans by
act of the last congress retired the sill
yer dollar and abolished silver certifi-
Gates. issuing in lieu thereof gold GER
tificates l consider that this is a
transfer OF the sovereignty of the Uni
ted States from the hands of the gov
ernment into the control of the nat
ional banks of the country. Had the
| fight been made on this issue and the
outrage OF such legislation exposed the
result would have been different.
Judge Reagan also stated that he had
written Congressman Bailey letter
and on two occasions had told Mr.. Bry
an personally that the party was com
hitting "A grave mistake in pressing
! the anti-imU erialism ideas. because OF
the effect OF placing the party in the
position of aiding the enemy.

Postmaster Pitkin of New Orleans is
after the authorities for not enforcing
the law in regard to properly number
ing the houses. Postmaster Campbell
should do the same thing in Ell Paso.
There is an ordinance on the books
which if properly enforced would be of
great benefit to the city. In many in
stances odd numbers are on the side
wher only even numbers should be and
vice versa. There are also cases where
houses in some blocks contain numbers
100 or more higher than others in the
same block. This is not only confus-
ing to mail carriers but to delivery
clerks of all kinds of business. The
ordinance should be dug up and its
provisions enforced. We are on the
eve of issueing two directories and it
is TO be hoped that something will be
done in time to give the correct data
put in the new enumeration.

The most important part of Wag-

himself, is not the music, but the
drama, which, indeed, the beginner
should closely follow with the aid Of
the book of words, since the music is
usually sung in German words.
The intending Wagnerite should also
begin with the masters most popular

He will then at once recognize the ia

In regard to the terrible suffering in the famine stricken districts of India, Mir. Ralph Waldro Trine writes as fol lows:
 To-day there are some 6O,OOOOOO of our fellow beings in India suffering ac- uteIy for lack of food. Of this number IO,OOO,OOO are already face to face with starvation, and not hundreds but thou sands, are dying daily"
 The people of the United States are realizing that without the help of this country a continuation of this terrible suffering cannot be averted, and an or ganized effort is being made in all parts of the land to secure the help needed. Telegraph and express com panies have offered to transport funds free of cost. In Boston and New York citizens committees have been organ ized to solicit funds and facilitate the handling of them.
 Every town and city in the whole country is coming to the front with contributions large and small.
 Douglas is especially fortunate in that we have no extreme poverty in our midst to demand our help. Our dark brothers across the sea are starving. A little help from US will save the lives of hundreds. At the request of some of our citizens the News has decided to open a list for the reception of sub scriptions from any one who may feel so disposed. All amounts received will be acknowledged in these columns and forwarded to one of the above mention ed committees. No one is asked to give a large amount, but little from each one will be sufficient. Parties wishing to subscribe to this fund may leave their names and contributions at the News office.

RETROSPECT
OF THE EXCURSION TO TIE CAKU GLACIERS
 ON THE ETH INST.

The morning was all that could be desired. It was clear and cool, not no- ticeably cold; and gradually the tenn perature, as if attempting to adjust it. self to suit the occasion, reached and remained at that stage, when the most fastidious are finally pleased.
 Captain Martin was all smiles, and the presence of this genial, modern mariner at the helm tended to augment the pleasure of the happy excursionists that basked in the warmth of AIaska's golden sunlight on the cosy decks of the Flosie.
 The scenery in the direction of Taku invites the eye, appeals to the admira- tion and revives the intellect, because of it's natural beauty unimpaired by false arts, it's plain and silent evidence of what can be, and the sublime i'm pressiveness eminating from such en- vironments, wholly unknown to the in- huence of dry text books.
 "Oh! there is the mouth of the Taku river" someone exclaimed. Yes, there it was. The waters of the Taku and Gastineaux channel meet in quiet, neIghborly fashion; so quiet indeed that their meeting lacks any perceptible in- dication of a confluence. Here is the Yukon of Southeastern Alaska. Here the tourist will look and finger; and finger, to look again and again on the picturesque landscape all around.
 About 1:3O the zenith of the days de- light was reached:
 There, almost within a stones throw, were the attractions that led us thither.
