REASON S. Because the nOminn-
tions made by the Democracy are
SO uniformly excellent.
Read the list of assembly nominations
over, and see whether it does not recall
the best antecedents of the public life of
the community. Every man there named
is a courageous advocate of public de-
cency and independence No man among
the number is approachable for evil.
They are all men of character, not only
in their immediate communities but
known to be such throughout the entire
community. What the assembly nomina-
tions are those for the board of aldermen
are in equal measure. The Democracy
has entered this contest to win, and it
has accordingly put its best men for
ward. If the people are anxious to put
an end to the reign of corruption and i'm
morality, they must send big majority
of Democrats to the council.

from our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, March 10, 1900
The nightmare labeled "Porto Rico
tariff" still hcvers over the pillows Of
prominent Republicans and DESTROYS
their rest. Conferences are held every
day with Mr.. Mckinley by Senators
who favor the tariff and by Senators
who favor free trade, and the odd thing
Is that both classes Of Senators talk as
though they believe Mr.. Mckinley TO
be on their side. All sorts of PROPOSE
tons are being advanced by Republi.
can Senators TO avoid anything like An
open rupture in their party on this
question, one Of them being to continue
the debate until the close Of the session
without allowing the bill to come to a
vote, and another to load it up with all
sorts Of amendments and then defeat
it by an overwhelming vote. The
dodge in either of tdese expediepts
would be so palpable, that it is hardly
conceivable that the Republican lead
ers will be foolish enough to allow
either to be adopted. The Republican
party is in control Of all branches of
the government and for it to fail TO
place itself on record by positive legis-
latlon on this question, would be an
acknowledgment of weakness that
would be absolutely certain to drive
the party from power. That is why
they will have to patch up some sort of
egislation.

APOLOGIES IN ORDER.

Those people who have been so reck
less and so uncharitable as to accuse
the Rev. Mr.. Sheldon, who would pub
lish newspaper as he believed the
Master would have him do, of "blas-
phymy," and "sacriligen should be
quick to offer their apologies now that
his effort has been made public.
Is there any blasphemy in the clos

which he began his work: "And as |

even with hope Of success attempt it,
l look to Thee, 0 Lord, my Father in
Jesus Christ my Savior, and ask for
the gift of the Holy Spirit.n
And is this sacriigious? We quote
from his first editorial:

The situation in Kentucky is still
deplorable. Though appeal has been
made to the courts, the Republicans
say in advance that they will respect
no judgment of the courts other than
that of the U. s. Supreme Court. In

WEALTH.

No sane man objects to the fact that
there are rich men in the world. From
the days of Abraham until now some
men have been better off i'm things
temporal than others. A God of infin.
lie wisdom made Solomon very much
richer than are any of the millionaires
of the present day.
Rich men are a necessary mart of
civilization. They furnish the capital
TO build our railroads, our ships. orr
telegraph lines, our cities, dig our ca
nails, mine our coal, drill for our oil
endow our schools, establish our libra
rles, encourage our artists, contribute To
our churches and our charities. With
out them these things would languish
and may be die. All honor to them
then for their contributions, often so
generously made, to the common
good of all, and would that our refer
ence to this class of our fellow.citizens
could close with a compliment rather
than criticism.

No rich man ought to be a dissatisfied
or despOtic man.

blessing but blight as well. 1t makes
