DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

There is something amusing
about the. energy which repub-
lican leaders display in making
the democratic platform in 1900.
Senator Aldrich, in his opening
speech on the gold bill, took great
pains to tell his hearers just what
the democratic issues were to be
and exactly what the republicans
were going to do about it. This
is harmless sort of diversion for
the republicans,and if they enjoy
it it is quite as we'll that they
should keep up the farce indefi-
nitely. One thing is certain, how
ever, and that is the republicans
cannot make issues and force the
democrats to assume respon-
slbility for them. In the first
place the democrats are quite able
to choose their own ground, and
in the second place it is too early
yet to set squadrons in the field
for battle which will not open
before june or July next. OF
course the republicans would like
to choose issues. They would be
pleased to put trusts, imperialism
and administration blunders of all
kinds in the back ground and get
up contest over questions sug-
gested by themselves and on which
they think they could win the
fight. There will be many issues
before the people IN the campaign
of 1900. The democrats will not
look to the opposition for selec-
ton of those issues, and Senator
Aldrich has wasted his breath in
attempting to tell in advance
what the democratic party is 60
ing to do. Let the able repub-
lican senator possess his soul in
patience. In good time he will
know what issues will be taken up
by the democrats and he can be
assured that they will be of a
character to interest the people
and to make it lively for the re-
publicans.

Daring Adventures IN tho iFisld In the
War In Ipdia.
When the medical history Of the
last war in India is written 1t will
prove interesting reading. There were
many difficulties overcome and hard
ships endured with the usual element
OF danger, says the London Lancet. A
good instance of this was when Gen.
Woodhouse was wounded early in the
war. A bullet struck him in the thigh.
passed down below the knee, broke
into pieces and lodged The Roentgen
ray apparatus revealed the exact con-
ditions and it was determined to ex-
tract the pieces. In the middle of the
operation, artificial light being used,
the Afridis crawled up and suddenly
blazed into the tent, sending thirteen
shots through the canvas. Now, that
might have been vs7y disturbing
circumstance and apt to interfere with
the perfect application Of the asceptic
form OF surgery. And what happened?
Nothing. The operation went on and
was as successfully completed as II
there was no Afridi within 100 miles.
AS usual, We have many examples OF
great personal bravery and devotion to
duty in the midst of danger. Surgeon
Capt. Beyts arrested hemorrhage under
hot fire and Sir William Lockhart,
speaking of the incident, said that no
one ever better merited the reward OF
the Victoria cross than he. He got
nothing; but that is another story.
Another medical officer greatly dis
tinguished himself, Surgeon Lieut..
Hugo.
Lieut.. Ford was dangerously wound
ed in the shoulder. The bullet cut the
artery and he was bleeding to death
when Surgeon Lieut.. v. Hugo came to
his aid. The fire was too hot to per-
NIT Of lights being used. There was
70 cover of any sort. 1t was at the
bottom of the cup. Nevertheless, the
surgeon struck a match at the peril Of
his life and examined the wound. The
match went out amid a splutter of
bullets which kicked up dust all around
but by its uncertain light he saw the
nature of the injury. The officer had
already tainted from loss of blood. The
doctor seized the artery and, as no
other ligature was forthcoming, he re-
NAMED under fire for three hours hold
ing a mans life between his finger and
thumb. When at length it seemed that
the enemy had broken into the camp
he picked up the still unconscious Off
Ger in his arms and, without relaxing
his hold, bore him to place of safety.
His arm was for many hours paralyzed
from cramp with the effects of the ex-
ertion Of COMPRISING the artery.

EFFECT OF BOER WAR.

If England fails to conquer the
Beers the result will be tremend-
Gus loss Of prestige and this loss
may end in a serious attack on
that country by some strong Euro
pean power. But if England
should conquer the Beers the re-
suit will be scarcely less disastrous
than defeat, for they will still
be plagued by a constant condi-
ton of conflict with people
brave to the last degree and re-
solved to die fighting for their
liberties. In addition to this, the
sympathy of Europe is with the
Beers, resulting from their high
or low reasons Friendship for
freedom or envy to English preced-
ence) and it cannot but follow
that the influence of Great Brit
ain in Africa must suffer serious
impairment. While the repub-
lican administration at Washing
ton manifests friendship for Eng
land, that feeling is not general
among the American people. Nc
Kinley and his advisors are inn
perialists and naturally desire
the success Of imperialism abroad,
but the people love liberty and
the administration will not dare
to extend martial aid to the
English. Fighting in a just cause,
the Beers are manifesting that
energy which characterized the
American patriots in '76, and with
the advantage of holding ground
difficult Of attack and entirely
familiar to them they will give the
invaders conflict of heroic pro-
portions. Whatever the result.
England is sure to lose prestige
and her successful days in Africa
are numbered.

THE OTHER SIDE.
The Rosa Lake Ditch Case From Another
Point of View.

1OAul VI view.
Editor COURIER DEMOCRAT
In last weeks Republican there az
peared an article entitled, "Ditch Case
Ended" and [ thought the matter was
ended when I Withdrew the appeal to
the supreme court, but it appears not,
and as the article referred to contains
many mis.statements I deem it recess
sary to make reply.
First, the case wasn't dismissed, but
the appeal withdrawn. and never gave
my consent to having the ditch dug, ex-
cept on the condition that they, Scully
and others, would obtain the permission
Of the other land owners below to dig a
ditch upon their lands in order to take
the water from my land, which they
could not obtain.
However, the court in it's wisdom has
decided that they can render my farm
practically worthless without paying me
for it and [ suppose I'll have to stand it,
and perhaps az far as am concerned
the ditch case 10 ended.
I don't know anything about the no.
toriety acquired by the Iowa calf, but
think the calf must have strsyed into
Cavalier county in company with little
mutton, a I'd the information contained
in the article, "Ditch Case Ended" is
the result of it bleating.

II AN tt firm believer in the
enlargement and extension of the
republic. I do not mean by that
the extension by the addition of
contiguous territory, nor to limit
my statement to that. Wherever
there is people intelligent enough
to form a part OF this republic, it
is my belief they should be taken
in. Wherever there is people
capable Of having voice and repre-
sentati'on in this government, the
limits of the republic may be ex-
tended. The Filipinos are not
such people. The democrats have
ever favored an extension Of the
limits Of this republic, but have
never advocated the acquisition of
subject territory, to be- held under
colonial government" WIN. J.
