this horse In most cruel. inhumap
and brutal manner. There Is some ex-
cuse II a full-grown man like YOU

The ball and banquet given by the
Gilpin county pioneers in the new court
house at Central City on the 22nd, was
an event that will long be cherished In
the memories OF the large crowd that
was present. The building was bril-.
liantly lighted with over 125 electric
bulbs, and the white walls of hand
somely carved and vanished wood
work presented most cheerful an
pearance. The crowd began arriving
at $3.50, but the grand march did not
take place until 9:30. the people spend
ing the time intervening In making nm
inspection of the building from
basement to roof. and many were the
expressions of delight made mt the fact
that Gilpin, the oldest county and min
Ing region of the state, should possess
such a handsome structure. The dane
ing took place in the District Court
room, which is 5Ix3S feet. and the sup-
per was served by the Ladiesi Relief
corps In the County Court room down
stairs, where tables were spread for
iorty-hve couples at sitting.

The Glory of the Flag

Republican orators, philosophers.
schemers, prophets, monopolists,
boodlers and all the other party at
taches can do all the cursing and
shouting they desire in their de-
nunciation of the purely American
policy of the democratic party in this
campaign, but they can never in the
world prove that the honor OF the ma
ton and the safety of the stars and
stripes are not at stake, and that their
policy of Imperialism will destroy
both, if the democrats don't throttle
the policy in it's infancy. The St.
Louis Republic contains an editorial
in this connection which will prove OF
interest. 1t follows:
Men of the Hanna stamp will
dou btIess contend that Mr.. Bryan s
picture of republic whose flag is
loved while other flags are only feared
is piece of sentimental rhapsodizing
which should not for moment fool
any sensible and practical person into
preferring such republic to the en-
pire which is now sought to be estab-
lished in place of the republic.
ITO the Hanna type of man life is
a grab game whose prizes 90 to him
that grabs the most ruthlessly and
holds what he grabs most tenaciousiy.
The only right recognized by such a
man is the right of might. 1t sounds
absurd to this man to talk of making
a flag loved when you can make it
feared, and by terrorizing and then
despoiling weaker peoples to increase
the area of territory over which the
flag floats.
And vet the honest and fearless
patriots who founded the republic of
which Old Glory is the proud standard,
were possessed by this same desire
that their flag should be loved by all
the weak and oppressed peoples of the
earth. They dreamed of a just gov
eminent that should stand for free
dom for all time to come, and whose
example should finally lead all the
world to freedom. They did their
best to insure the stability of the
United States government as such a
government. They pledged it in the
declaration of independence and in the
American constitution. to the princi-
pies which they thought would hold
1T forever firm to freedom and which
would make it's flag loved and not
feared.
at is the men of the Hanna stamp
who are now seeking to undo the work
OF the patriot fathers of 1875. The
American ideal of those early days
seems ridiculous to the Hannaites.
There is no money in it. The loot and
booty of empire is infinitely more at
tractive. For this reason there will be
FL - L
dreamer who would make his country
and his flag the best loved country
and the best loved flag on earth.
There is a likelihood. however, that
the American people agree with Mr..
Bryan, aud that they are not yet ready
for the degradation of Old Glory. 1t
is mere sentiment. of course, but
it may prevail nevertheless"

United States. Democrats and all
no are in sympathy with the prin-
ciples set forth in the Kansas City
platform are earnestly urged to Join
democratic clubs, or, when none ex-
lists, to assist in organizing them.
This work of uniting the forces OF
law and liberty into one great sys-
tenn atized civic army should be car
ried on simultaneously in every part
of the country and without delay.
The friends of government. according
to the hitherto unchallenged Amer
lean theory of political equality
everywhere under our flag, can not
afford to be less Jealous or less active
than the advocates of an American
colonial empire, supported by rifles.
No patriotic citizen can ignore the
attacks which are being made upon
the very foundations of our present
irreproachable form of government.
This year every citizen should be a
politician. Clubs and societies should
at once communicate with the 'secre-
tary of the National Association OF
Democratic Clubs, 1870 Broadway,
New York City 80 that the united
membership may work systematically
in defense of the republic as the
fathers made it. AL democratic CON-
mittees, state and local, are requested
to aid the National Association of
Democratic Clubs in this work. 5"

These eminent gentlemen have de-

services rendered for three months to
all who call before Aug. 10.
The doctors treat all forms of dis

are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money

THE idea of introducing die Wacht
am Rhein" into the Cook county
campaign, to be sung by German
American republicans for the purpose
of influencing American-Germand dem
ocrats, could have originated only in
the party of William Mckinley.
All the bright campaign ideas are
sprung By the republican party. All
the best campaign lies originate there.
The idea of inoculsting American Ger
man democrats with Imperialism by
