WOE AND SADNESS AND DEMOc-
RACY.

We desire to ask our Democratic friend
why it is he insists on being so miserable
when he can just as well be happy Life
is too short to put in all the time kicking.
There are many goods things on earth
that even Democrat could enjoy if he
only thought so. There never was any
thing that brought so much misery into the
world as the Democratic party. We are
nov speaking in the kindest spirit for our
81 mpathy goes out to the unhappy. II we
had but the power there would never be
any unhappiness in this world. We de-
sire our Democratic friend TO take day
off and ask himself what he has got to
| kick about. His wife and family can't be
very happy when the head of the family is
always looking on the dark side OF life.
This is our country, and you are part Of
| it. Why don't you stand up for it like a
man. or get out OF it There isn't ma
ton today on the face of the earth that is
enjoying the prosperity we are, and you
know it, and yet you continue to fret, and
lie and curse and kick What is the mat
ter with you II you want to be a popu-
list, be populist, but stop your whining
and fault finding There is nothing in
that for your, or your friends. A party
that thrives on adversely and withers up
on prosperity, is not good party to be-
long to You know that dry winds
erass-hoppers, famines, chinch bugs and
failures, can do more for your party than
anything else, and that rains, sunshine
and good crops are your worst enemies
Yet you seem to prefer the former. Your
clown leader, Wind TANNER Bryan, has
made himself independently rich in max
ing you believe that you are miserable.
Now take friends advice and drop this
greatest of all fakes, and come over into
the camp of American principles and pat
riotism, and be happy. Come out into
Gods bright sunshine, weak, puny shiv-
ering and half-blinded though you be,
and let it make man out of you, and
give YOU a new liver and conscience. You
will never, never measure up 70 the grand
standard of pure American manhood and
noble purposes, until you have had the
moss scraped from your back, and have
taken seat in the Republican parlor car

We simply desire the astute editor of
the Kingwood Argus to tote fair, and not
appropriate all the wisdom..of the world to
himself, We know he is a great man
that he has swallowed several dictionaries
and Mrs. Caudle's lectures, and that he
can repeat without :single mistake, the.
one thousand and one Democratic lies
which are supposed to be kept on file in
every Democratic editors office. In fact
he is a regular king-bee in old Preston.
He is great stinger-spending most of
his time, singing himself. We seriously
regret that he does not come down among
the common people once in awhile, and
get in touch with them. 1t is such a
pity to see him wasting away in the Re
publican Businesses of Preston, when his
heroic beauty might be a JOY forever ir
the bull-rushes of Jefferson, or the pig
styes OF Hardy. One of these days the
Deacon will rudely awake to the fac
that he is very small potato in the in
tellectual garden, and that he should with
er and go to seed. And he will do so
whilst the hurting lightning bolts fast
athwart the skies, and cook him in the
! mud.

1t is a most curious fact that while
Southern Democrats are doing all in their
power to deprive the negroes of the cleo
tive franchise in the Southern States, they
are loud in their demands that the yellow,
red, brown and black races of the coun-
tries acquired from Spain shall be at once
vested with citizenship ana ba OF.
This doctrine that the United States fol-
lows the flag is new-fangled device
which not only has no foundation in the
Constitution, but it is most dangerous
assault on constitutional guarantees

-Four years ago, the greatest Demo-
Populistic arguments was the one which
declared there was less money in circua-
ton than ever before. The average demo-
crat could scream out that assertion in six
different languages, and almost had blood
poison from handling it. Well, under
the Mckinley administration the per capt.
ia circulation has increased from $22. 40
in 1897, to S24.7I in 1898, and ST. 500 in
I89o This is an increase of S3.2I for
every man, woman and child in America.
Why don't the Democrats who preached
the doctrine in 1896 that the larger the
per capita circulation we have, the better
off we are, be honest and true, and vote
the Republican ticket this fall? We hope
they will, and in fact, believe they will be
men enough to do it.

Those Tiresone French DueIists.

Paris, April 3-M Michel Ephrussi,
who was offended by an insulting pas
sage in the letter from Comte de
I.ubersac to Baron de Rothschild, was
informed by his seconds that the
comte refused to fight. They there
fore consulted with the friends of the
comte and agreed to accept arbitra-
ton, but the proposed arbitrator, M.
de Villeneuve, declined to act. There
upon they demanded immediate repa-
ration. This, however, was refused.
Comte de Lubersac has written letter
to the seconds of Baron Edouard de
Rothschild promising to place them in
relations with two of his friends with
in as hours. The friends referred to
are Comte de Dion and Comte Boni
de Castellane Arrangements for a
duel between Comte de Dion and NJ, de
Saint-Alery will be made today.

BRAZlL'S BIG CELEBRATION.
Arrangements to Commemorate the
Landing of CabraI.


Landing of CabraI.
The minister of marine, Admiral Pin
to da Luz, has given orders to the en-
tire fleet to be ready to participate in
the commemoration from May to
May 6, inclusive, of the discovery of
Brazil in 1900, and all private vessels
and boats of all descriptions will be
invited to assist in the naval review
and the regattas.
A bronze statue of Pedro Alvarez de
Cabral. who was driven upon the Bra
lillian coast by a tempest in April, 1900.
and who called it the Land of the Holy
Cross, will be unveiled at Bahia on
May 3, says the New York Times. 1t
is of heroic size. One of the faces of
the pedestal is reserved for his name
and the date of his landing. The 9TH
ers bear representations of the first
mass in Brazil, the elevation of the
cross and the ships of the discoverer.
special jury has been selected to
pass upon musical compositions sub
mitted for the commemoration ceremo-
MES. A new series of postage stamps
will be issued with a design descrip-

announcement that the proposal of the

monument to Cabral will not be car

the consent of the university. The
mention of any person as the donor is
a wholly gratuitous piece of enter
prise on the part of public prints"
The first of the six rooms adjoining
the long corridor beneath the colon
made is to be named the Washington
gallery and will be set apart as soon
as ten or more portraits of the persons
inscribed shall be accepted for perma-
nent reservation by the university.
The outer western walls of the Hall
of Languages and the Hall of Philoso-
ply, which look into the Hall of Fame,
will be treated as part of the latter
and will receive no inscription except
such as relate to the great names Sc
lected. Statues and busts of the Amer
leans chosen win be assigned to places
in the museum or in the hall itself as
the givers may decide with the approx
al of the university.
The other rooms in the structure will
be named after the Washington gallery
has been set apart, and they will he
designated for similar use as soon as
their space shall, in the judgment of
the university, be needed for the pur-
poses of the Museum of the Hall of
Fame. In the meantime they may be
devoted to ordinary college uses.
Chancellor MacCracken announced
that President Charles w. Eliot of
Harvard university had been asked to
act as the first of the 100 judges, be-
cause he is the president of the oldest
American university and is regarded
as a dean in university matters, and
that he had accepted the place. The
other judges agreed upon by the uni
versity senate will have entire power
in selecting the great Americans.
The university has been unable to
accept two collections of mementos Of
fered for the museum because no
names have been chosen. One collec-
ton related to the poet Edgar Allan
Poe and the other to n statesman of
the early part of the century. After
the judges have completed their duties
the various patriotic societies of the
country will be invited to interest
themselves in getting collections of
memorabilia for the museum.
Chancellor MacCracken expressed
himself pleased with the attention Civ
en- by the newspapers of the country to
the projected Hall of Fame and com
mented upon the modesty of a Mime
apols paper which admitted that Min
neSota had no candidate to present for
a place among the first so names.
David Banks, chairman of the libra
ry committee. announced at the meet
ing that the entire law library of the
late Judge Charles L. DAILY had been
given TO the university. The collection
which does not include the ordinary
working library of the judge, COM
prises about 1000 volumes and en-
braces many exceedingly rare works

BROKERS' NOVEL SCHEME.
Buys 1000, 900 Tickets to Sell TO Par
is Exposition Visitors.


J. Il. f. Allen, an American ticket
broker, has bought 100000 tickets Of
admittance to the Paris exposition and
will sell them in Paris during the ex-
position season, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean. 1t Is said that he bought
them for half pNce, which would mean
an outlay of between 100000 and 7o0,-
600 francs, and his scheme is to dis
pose of them at full price and pocket
the profits. The deal was made recent
ly through an agent of Aliens in Paris.
Mr.. Allen passed through Chicago re-
Gently on his way to Paris. He did not
talk to any newspaper men, but con-
fided his plans in IL. j. Brubaker, who
for seven years has managed the ticket
business of the whaleback Christopher
Columbus and who has had dealings
with Allen.
"Mr. Allen is the most unique man in
his line in the United States" said Mr..
Brubaker. Il first became acquainted
with him when he telegraphed the
Whaleback company about three sum-
mers ago, asking if we would sell him
SOW LlChClS " hllW anu IGluIn
for $1,000. The price of the tickets was
81 apiece, but we sold them to him at
rs cents. 1t struck us as a novel propo-
sition, and we watched him with inter
est. The way he worked it was TO put
on snowy uniform and stand on the
approach to the dock with tickets to
sell. He had uniformed helper, too,
and between them they sold the tickets
in a couple of weeks, and he was $500
ahead. Allen has travelled all over the
country following this line of business.
AT the Philadelphia exposition he
bought 10000 tickets for $4,000 and
sold them all at the regular price, %
cents apiece, making $1,000 ON the
deal.
"He paid cash for the Paris exposi-
ton tickets, and l understand he got
them at half price. or course there is
no place to sell them except in Paris,
and 100000 tickets is big number to
dispose of, but he will doubtless sue
ceed there as he has everywhere else"

Over in Kentucky the Legislature offered
$Ioo 900 reward for the conviction of the
man who shot Goebel The Democratic
politicians have desired that reward, and
have hired several men to swear SO and
so, with the understanding that the re-
ward shall be divided. A number of Re-
publicans have been arrested on evidence
insufficient in a decent court to hang
dog, and yet Democratic courts, prosecu-
ting attorneys and officers, hold them for
the grand jury. Not satisfied with hav-
ing set aside the verdict of the people,
and unseating the Republican State Of
fcials, and with looting the State Treas
ury, they now seek to incarcerate inno-
cent men, and drive justice from the State.
A more disreputable, damnable set of
scoundrels, thieves and ballot box stealers
never lived outside of the penitentiary.
And yet there are men so depraved dis
honest and vicious, as to uphold such ras-
cality. The Republican party has had
such creatures to fight during all its ex-
istence. 1t will not be scared by them
now, and should take eye for an eye, tooth
for tooth, head for head, every time
