Instr1,ct All DeIeootes.

1t is dangerous for the people to inn
agine that the party is all a sea upon
every issue vital to the American peo-
pie. There are many. and they are the
same persons who endeayored to wreck
the party in 1896. who desire above all
things that the Democratic party
should assemble in its national conven-
ton without knowing just what issues
to frame.
There can never a greater mistake be
made, and it is one that would be fatal
TO success-in fact--it would destroy
the labor of the past few years. to uni
fy the party and bring it before the
country as the peoples party, one de-
voted to the common interest and
pledged always to insure the welfare
of the people.
The Chicago platform is the key to
the whole situation, and it is and must
necessarily be the harbinger of success.
Its reputation would be a qualification
of the principles OF the Democratic
party, and that party is not yet ready,
nor fallen so low that it must needs
take the advice of those who left 1t to
its fate in 1896, and even sought to de-
stroy it,
All the new issues forced upon the
country by the party of imperialism,
McKinleyism, Hannaism and the fat
frying trusts, hinge upon the principles
set forth in the Chicago platform
These new issues cannot stand alone
before the people. because they need
the principles in the Chicago platform
to sustain and maintain them. Is the
money question less a burning one now
than in 1896? Must the Democratic
party forego the question of trusts
when the money question hinges upon
it? Are we to lie down in front Of the
Mckinley imperial juggernaut in adora-
ton of a Republican idol that means
destruction to the nation? No, we are
more strongly American now than in
1896, and less inclined to surrender any
principle.
Let all delegates be submitted TO the
scrutiny of faithful observation of
Democratic principles, let them show
the faith that is in them by their uni
form, unvarying adherence to Demo
cratic principles. If there is single
sign Of having wavered in his allie
glance, reject that man as dangerous.
The Chicago platform must be reaffirm-
ed or the party is lost. and delegates
should be pledged to reaffirm it. 1t is
but the instructing as to principles
which is not domination but common
sense. No man can be a Democrat
without faith in Democratic. principles.
That is what the Chicago platform
demonstrates, and if any man preach
a contrary doctrine. let him be anath-
ematiZed

Saving Ronoh Ennder.

A few years ago not many farmers
in the corn-growing States thought of
saving their corn slower, though per-
haps they turned cattle in among it, to
eat little and tramp it down. Where
small grain was grown, the straw was
thought to have very little food value
though some kept their stock half
starved on ii. Eastern farmers, who
were thought to be very saving, seldom
fed out bean straw or pea straw. Now
all these are saved, and while they
need more grain with them than does
clover or other good hay, it is thought
economy to feed any or all of these,
and by adding grain, keep the animals
in better condition at less cost than
when hay is fed. and at the same time
add to the value of the manure made
on the farm. Many varieties of weeds
also make good rough forage if mown
down and cured before they have
ripened their seeds, and to do SO helps
to keep the land clean, and preserve
the fertility in it for more useful crops.

An Ugly River to Cross.

The Republican administration has
come to an ugly stream in the course
of its destiny. This stream is much
swollen and its approach and exit are
opposed by precipitous banks. VIII the
Republican party be able to cross it
without abandoning the old protection
boat in which it has made so many safe
voyages? We will see.
Here are the islands of the Philippine
archipelago, many of which are as fer
tile as the valley of the Nile, that sugar
planters say cannot be devoted to the
growth of sugar except to the ruin of
the producer in the United States. The
Republican party. swept along on the
rising current of expansion of territory
by any means, on the one extreme de-
mands the illimitable extension of terri
tory On the other extreme, the Re
publican party, relying ON the govern
ment to protect the manufacturer of
sugar and of everything else by bind
ing with the chain of the tariff the do
nestle consumer to the home market,
whence competition is expelled. cares
nothing about how much empire is ex-
tended provided it does not bring dis
tant competitor into the field which can
not be destroyed by an inhibitory tariff.
The wide river Of difference that
flows between these two extremes Is
the ugly stream the Republican party
must cross. However, 1t is a task and
a quarrel that Republican expansionists
and protectlonists must meet alone

Jeers Changed 10 Cheer..

"The appreciation which the AmerI-
can people manifest toward those who
show personal bravery in the face of
great odds reminds me of President
Johnson's act of valor In this city soon
after the civil war;" said a citizen yes
terday. The President was making a
speech from the balcony of the Ken
nard House, and the corner streets
were crowded with people. many of
whom jeered the chief executive, for
at that time the anti-Southern feeling
was bitter. Finally brick was hurled
at the President. who deliberately took
of his coat and said to the bowling
crowd:
Fellow countrymen. If any of you
would like to see ME personally, here l
am.
''Then the jeers changed to cheers.

its cost would be terrific.
That Gen Buffers retirement from his
advanced position was timely is evidenc

Maj. Gen Henry w Lawton was
buried Friday in the National Cemetery
at Arlington. The services at the grave
were preceded by those at the Church of
the Covenant in Washington, where Pres
| ident II. NJ Stryker of Hamilton Col
lege, New York, delivered a funeral ora
ton that has seldom been equaled in
beauty of expression, nor could it have
been in more perfect accord with the
spirit of the solemn occasion that called
it forth.
Never in the history of the capital has
there been a more representative gather
ing of the nations official life TO pay q
last tribute TO the nations honored dead.
No mark of military pomp and ceremony
that the regulations could provide was
wanting to render the occasion solemn
and impressive. Nearly all the available
troops of the regular establishment re-
naming in this country were called out.
Three thousand men, infantry, cavalry
and artillery, followed the fag-draped
eaisson to the grave.
But mere official formulate were dwarf
ed beside the deep popular demonstration
that the burial of the dead soldier called
forth. Every department of the Govern
ment paid its official tribute. Flags hung
at half-mast. The President and his cab
met, representatives OF the Supreme
Court, of the House and Senate and of
the army and navy, all combined to fill
the darkened church to its utmost.
But these official representatives of the
people were lost in the great crowds that
surrounded the church and lined the
streets along which the procession pass

American soldier whose exploits in four
wars made his name a household word
and who, being soldier first and only,
died in the line of duty, leaving nothing
to his children but the heritage of an

OPEN DOOR FoR DEMOCRATS.

advocacy of imperialistic methods,
brazen defense of official corruption,

AntinuitY of Chess.

Although the origin of chess is en-
shrouded in considerable mystery, there
is but little doubt that its birthplace
was in India, and that it is an offspring
of a game called Chaturanga, which is
mentioned in Oriental literature as in
use fully 1000 years before the Chris
tian era. From India chess spread into
Persia, and thence into Arabia, and Ill
timately the Arabs took it to Spain and
the rest of Western Europe. The game
was in all probability invented for the
purpose of illustrating the art of war.
The Arab legend upon this point is that
it was devised for the instruction of 4
Young despot by his father, learned
Brahman, to teach him that a king,
notwithstanding his power, was Deepen
dent for safety upon his subjects. The
Greek historians credit the invention
of the game to Palamedes. who, they
claim, devised it to beguile the tedium
of the siege of Troy during the Trojan
war.
