astounding way by the command
issued on the day Of our rout and dis
comfiture-thata second battle should
be fought on the same field, with the
same false war cries, and the same
leadership that had brought us to the
surrounding gloom Of defeat"
Again he says:
THUS, in 1900, the lesson of 1896
was contemptuously rejected, and
every hope OF Democratic success was
wilfully cast aside. Again our long
suffering rank and file, whose loyalty
and obedience deserved better things,
were sacrificed in a cause, theirs only
in name; and again 1t was demon
stratcd, but more clearly than ever
before, that the only forces that can
win Democratic success are adher-
ence to recognized Democratic prin-
eipleS and reliance upon Democratic
counSels and leadership.
cOUSsELs RETURN TO OLD PRINCE
PILES.
"Why should we not return TO these
and, In their name, again achieve
victories no less glorious and re-
nowned than were ours in the days OF
courageous advocacy of our time-hon-
ored faith? Are u principles so
shop-worn and Anticipated as to re-
quire renovation. or their displace-
ment by others more fashionable?n
REORGANIZATION NOT NECESSARY.
He breaches the return Of Democ-
racy to its old faith, saying:
''Sincere Democrats, Of every con-
dition and in every part Of the land,
realize that the situation OF the party
needs repair. Reorganization is not
necessary, but a return from our wan
dering is absolutely essential.
"Let us be frank with ourselves and
candidly acknowledge the futility Of
attempting to gain Democratic yicto-
ries, except in the Democratic cause
and thorough Democratic methods.
Reorganization Is worse than use
less, and the arrogation of superior
party virtue viii breed only mischief.
This is a time for sober thought,
tolerant language, and ~fraternal coun-
sells.
1--WE are dealing with the condi-
ton Of a party that cannot be de-
stroyed by external foes; and, since its
ruin can be wrought only from within,
it should be imperishable.
above all things there should be a
manly remuneration and avoidance of
undue sectional control. Democracy
will not operate efficiently on sec
tional lines.
There Is much for us 10 do, and
the future is fun Of Democratic duty
and opportunity.
sour fighting force will respond
listlessly and f~alteringly II summoned
to a third defeat in a strange cause;
but II they hear the rallying call Of
true Democracy they will gather for
battle with the old-time Democratic
enthusiasm and courage.
"If | should attempt TO epitomize
what l have written by suggesting a
plan for the rehabilitation and resto-
ration Of true Democracy, / should
embody II in these words:
Give the rank and file a chance. "

Andrew Lawson. a Norwegian cooper
was struck on the head by q falling
block while at work on one OF the piers
Of the Atlantic Transport company,
New York city. on Sept. s, 1898. He
lay like n dead in ST. vincent's hos
pital for two months. His life was
despaired Of, but finally he rallied and
regained a part of his lost strength.
Lawson is in a normal condition In
every sense, with the exception that he
has forgotten all about his former life
and companions, and has no remem-
branee Of his native tongue. Try as
he will he cannot converse in the Ian
guage that he learned in Norway. His
wife is instrucing him as she does their
four-year-old boy. Lawson speaks the
English language only imperfectly. the
case has attracted the attention of

Put in Wrong Envelope.
Editor Of the Mexico LEpern.


Senator Chandler, Of New Hamp-
shire, is known as one OF the most
exact and painstaking Of men, says a
writer in Success. He rarely makes a
mistake, and has little patience to
spare for those Of Others. But the
wiley and careful Senator was recent
ly guilty Of a blunder which cost him
much trouble to rectify. 1t was moth
ing more or less than exchanging
envelopes upon two letters written
about the same matter. The story,
as related by his very dear friends,
runneth thus:
Once upon a time Chandler received
an invitation from Senator Frye 20 go
up 10 one Of the Maine lakes and en-
JOY a spell Of hunting and fishing.
Politics would, Of course, come up
during the quiet evenings. Senator
Chandler had other plans, and there
upon he lndited two letters, n Ia
his wife, which ran to this effect:
my Dear LUCY have received an
invitation from Frye to go with him
into Maine for a hunting and fishing
trip; but / shall not accept. Frye is a
Temperance crank and never has any.
thing for himself OF friends TO drink,
and therefore | have got out Of the
thing as automatically ss l can. There
is not much enjoyment under the
circumstances"
The letter then ran on to detail
other domestic circumstances.
The letter received by Mrs. Chand-
Ter ran merrily along these lines;
my Dear Frye:-I received your
invitation and am very sorry that j
cannot accept You know Mrs. Chand-
Ter is very disagreeable about such
things, and so l must decline. Some
other time when / can get up a good
story to justify the fun
The first intimation which Senator
Chandler had Of his error was an in
dignant missive from the wife Of bis
bosom bsrating him for his holding
her up to his friends as a disagreeable
woman.
Senator Frye, fortunately for Chand-
Ter, held his peace, as he did know
whether or not the epistle was loaded.
and fancied that the contretemps
might be one Of Chandeliers little jokes,
which would hayean ending disastrous
to Intermediates. The truth Of the
matter is that Senator Chandler Is
just as much OF a teetotlar as his con-
frerefrom Maine, but the other SeRa-
tors who have heard Of the affair are
chatting him numerically.

Amazing Expansions of Great Britain
In 1850 the area of the British for
eigu possessions outside and exclusive
of the British Isles, but including Can
ada. the West Indies, and India, may
be set down as about 81 millions Of
square miles, with a population Of lesa
than two millions Of white people and
perhaps forty-hve millions OF colored
races. These figures. though little a.
compared with those Of 1893, are Jet
quite respectable. They were vastly
greater than other nations Of that time
could show. Indeed they are greater
than any nation al even now show
for foreign possessions. In 1899 the
British empire contains over IL mill
lions Of square miles and 40 millions
of population, OF whom IS millions are
white people. that is 40 millions In the
mother country, and 10 millions in the
colonies, while the remainder are OF
colored races. This represents about
nearly one-.hird Of the habitable globe
and shows an amazing expansion with.
in the hundred years.

l was the fortunate possessor of a
smattering OF Spanish, and this fact

led me to make q daily purchase Of
La Correspondence, the principal pa
per Of the city, which was usually
brought to me by a small urchin,
Jose Santos by name, but better known
by the diminutlve of Pepe pronounced
Pay-pay). Pope was old enough TO
know better, perhaps. but for reasons
Of economy and comfort his clothing
was generally limited to what might
be called, In his case, a suit OF prime
val innocence.
Indeed. clothes seemed to be abhor-
rent to Pope; and when he conde-
scended to wear them at all they we're
never buttoned. Amy old thing an
swersd the purpose, II handy; and II
not, Pope sold papers and polished
shoes, while he himself was as naked
as on the day he was born. His un-
consciousness Of the fact was refresh
ing. After the publication Of the
clothing order, however, Pope disap-
peared from the public view. Indeed,
I was now compelled to walk several
blocks for La Correspondence, and l
wondered what had become Of my
smiling and usually alert little friend.
One day, rs l passed a densely pop
ulated basement in the Gale del
Cristo, l heard myself hailed in Span
ish by a child's voice: Say, Mister
oficer, please let me talk to you a
moment" would be an English equiv

you that Latin-American children are
always courteous, and, for example,
II you ask the name Of one Of the
tiniest Of them. he or she viii give
It In full and then add: your little
servant, sir" In this instance the
voice came from behind the open door
and, when I stopped, Pepe's head APP
peared.
Come out Of that, Pope. What's
the matter with you?" I said.
Il can't come out. Mister. 1 alnt

piled. There is a v~ernacular in Span

I'll polish your shoes and fetch your

shone like black diamonds.
Of course the little fellow was ire
sishble and the loan was made, hap
PLY upon more advantageous terms
for the young borrower. One Ameri-
can dollar was worth nearly two in
provincial coin; and to encourage
thrift as much as to try Pope, agreed
