TIE ISSIic LNINEn.

The issue between the Democratic and
the Republican parties is completely
Joined even though the Dcnl,.cI....o
nominee for Vice President is yet IN
named. No selection is possible which
can change or alter the political attitude
which Bryan and the platform adopted
to-day express.
Democracy Is open and outspoken in
lis declarations. The platform and the
candidate alike speak of definite Fur-
poses and positive policies, leaving no
voter a chance TO doubt the aims Of the
one or the sincerity of the other. Seldom
indeed has Il presidential candidate so
completely dominated the actions of
national convention or shaped its plat
form so entirely to meet the dictates of
his personal Judgment.
Nor is il often that a great party
singles out any one issue in a presi-
Dental campaign as the dominant and
paramount question as was done in the
yirile denunciation OF Imperialism which
awohe the enthusiastic approval Of the
Kansas City convention today. With a
candidate unanimously nominated and
the paramount issue Of American poll
ties designated with the same unanimi-
ty, the Democratic door is opened wide
10 all who are Democrats, whether they
acknowledge the name or simply sub
scribe TO the great principles for which
1t stands.
Mr.. Bryan is as frank as the platform
itself in his expressions upon this domi-
nant issue of to-day. He recognizes that
Ii overshadows every other question in
which tie people have concern and
threatens the very life of the nation.
Republican orators will not be able TO
dodge the issue and from to-day until
the polls are opened in November the
aggressive aud militant Democracy will
press the fight vigorously and unitedly.
The keynote of the campaign rings out
50 clear and true In the very beginning
of the platform that there is no reason
TO wonder IL was received with such
Jubilant enthusiasm by the excited dele
gates.
There can be no mIStakng the siSnifi-
canoe Of yesterdays events. Democrats
mean TO sink all minor differences In the
face of the great peril Imperialism in
wolves. Other ills we may endure for a
time. but this, that strikes NJ our yitals
we must put down at once if at all.
In the effort 10 do so Democrats are
once more united, with single mind and
common purpose.

sidered in contrast with the years just
mentioned, further proof of the vast
growth of the trade of New Orleans is
unnecessary.
The enterprislnG merchants bankers
and shippers of the Crescent City are TO
be heartily congratulated on this fine ex-
hibit. There is no going behind the re-
turns of statement SO authoritative as
that emanaing from the Collector of
Customs. The figures are official and
speak for themselves. They reveal the
existence OF healthy conditions that
place New Orleans well in line with the
foremost cities of the Union and that
are bright with promise of an assured
growth in the future

Fri Harlan Is young man, but ZEN

services on such short notice. Mr. Harlan
suggested that there were other steno-

So IL came about that the unexpected

NEW SCALP NEARLY DONE.
Ruby Richards Profits by Long
Series of Operations.

Ruby Richards. the girl whose scalp was
torn from her head about a year ago
through her hair catching in the shaft of
an electric sewing machine at which she
was wording in a factory. is still at the
City Hospital and Is now possessed of al
most an entire scalp, the skin having
grown slowly over the wound at the rat
of about quarter of an inch a day. There
is merely !" small spot on the crown which
Is still! uncovered, and II is thought that
skin grating will soon complete the work
The case is one which has required more
continuous practice from the medical star
than any other in the hospital. Every day
since her injury the surface OF the wound
has been dressed and numerous Operations
have been performed, a number of her
friends having furnished sections OF skin
TO graft on the spot.

A Lyric of Loved Work.

Id;ings good for breathing spell.
Freshens one up to rest.
But the thing that keeps folks happy and well
Is the work they love the best.
Then it's take your stand
And train your hand
To the thing YOU love 10 do;
Your work well done
Helps every one,
And the one helped most Is you.
preariest soul Of all mankind
Has missed loved labor's grace;
Happtest soul you'll find
Knows its working place.
Then It's listen all
For the earnest call
OF the work you're born to dot
God means 1t should
Bring others good,
But the best good comes to you!

IL l. estimated that The dividends on
American securities which viii he di.-
trihutod az the end Of tho present year
Tor the past six months will nc greater
Than over before. The amount Is placed
betweer si2oooo.oo0 and 100000
IL is a somewhat diiicuh matter OF
course 20 got the exact amount. oecause
there are good many securities wnien
are not listed on the stock Exchange u
Il proba Ble that the foregoing amount,
however. ir somewhere near the truth u
Is known that the July dividends approx
mated sos 00oo For the previous July
the amount was about 800 900 40 and a IT.
- more than 100000 for July, lSs. Il
viii b. seen from these figures that there
has becn a steady increase IN the amount
OF dividends Cor the past three years.
or course the foregoing include only
stocks aud bonds They have no connec-
zion with mortgage. The reason that
the amount will be so much larger this
Jauuary than it was last JUN is that
quite a number OF iadusirials VIII pay div
titnda which did not pay them on the
hast dividend PAYING day. And it IS said
thnt there are railroads also which VIII
come into tho dividend paying list which
have not paid anything on their sto-ks in
years
There s. a good deal o. speculation as
to the amount OF the part Of the dividends
that go to Europe. Il IS known OF course
that a very large amount OF our railroad
securities is held abroad. Il seems that
Secretary Gage mas made several visits
20 New York city with ;he view Of get
ting Information that would enable him
TO make statement respecting our secu-
rifles held ia Europe. II he was success
ful the fact Is not vet known. Doubtless
a statement Will De forthcoming on this
important subject IN the near future.
4 question that has interested Amerl-
cans within the last year is whether the
amount OF our securities held IN Europe
Is as large as q has been represented 20
be The ,rU.h probably y that the greater
part o. the best OF orr securities we're
sent home during the campaign Of 1885.
when there vas widespread fear that the
country would adop, the silver standard
Since tia. time there has been pretty
heavy foreign buying OF our securities
but Il is q safe statement that the amount
held outside OF this country is FAR less
than Il was before the agitation OF the
silver question began
