"The election of Bryan means
the beginning Of a new era in
American politics. The peoples
party was the beginning of this
movement and is the impulse which
carries. it forward. The principles
of the peoples party have perme-
ated the masses of another great
party and have thus made them
our allies in this campaign
This is the statement made by
the chairman Of the populist par
ty in announcing the withdrawal
of Mr.. Towne and the substitution
of Mr.. Stephenson as the vice.
presidential candidate on the pop
ulist ticket. To those of our
democratic friends who have long
been proud Of their party, and.
who have felt that it had an indi-
viduality Of its own, the bald
statement made by the populist
committee "that democracy is no
longer democracy, but populism,
will hardly be pleasing You ask
any of our democratic friends if
they are populists and they will
undoubtedly deny it, and yet the
statement is almost absolutely true
that the principles of democracy
has been surrendered almost en-
tirely to those of the peoples par.
ty. In the beginning democracy
and populism were almost diamet-
really opposed. Democracy
claimed that it stood for the least
possible amount of government.
1t was one of their cardinal prin-
clples that the government which
governed least, governed best.
The populist party to the contrary
has always believed in great deal
of government, it has been the
nearest approach to socialism that
we have had in this country. They
have believed and do believe in all
sorts of governmental control, and
We're the ideas of populism carried
out, we should find the government
taking charge of nearly every class
of business and that individual
effort would be made minimized.
The republican party has stood
between these two elements be-
lieving in strong and effective
government where government
was necessary, but giving to the
individual the largest possible
amount of freedom in his actions,
SO long as they do not interfere
with the common welfare. 1t is
fact then, that democracy has de-
serted its old position and has be-
come populist in everything but
name. The populist committee
speaks truly when it says that the.
election of Bryan would mean a
reversal of the policies by which
this nation has been made so pros
porous; it means a reversal of
those conservative business prin-
ciPles for which the Mckinley adj
ministratlon has been SO justly
noted. If we are to believe Mr..
Bryan, it means in the first place
that he will use all his great per
sonal influence as president Of the

Pafti.a Parrots

Patti has two wonderful parrots, one
of whom talks all day long, and imi-
tates its mistress trills and staccau in
an amazing fashion, and who (believe
me, for l have heard him) can even
compose the most elaborate melodies,
says a correspondent The other par
rot-Jumbo by name-is an oddly.
Patti bought him for 5000 in New
York, where he was reputed to be the
finest talking parrot alive. Once in
her possession he became dumb. In
vain they tried to coax him to con-
verse. Months went by until one
morning the prima donna woke with a
bad sore throat Send for the doctor"
she cried, for have to sing tonightp
The doctor duly arrived. AS he entered
the room the parrot uttered his first
and last words. 'Ohi DOCTOR" he ex-
claimed, in a strong Yankee accent,
I'm so sick!" And since that day,
now several years ago, he has not ut
tered a word.-Baltfmore News.

A FORMER AMERICAN SAYS.

Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
More Than Doubled Their Stock.
The following letter, written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Al
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to a friend in the United States,
is only one of a hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done today by any
good, sober and Industrious farmer
who chooses to make his home in the
dominion.
Dear Sir: You want to know how
got along since came into Northern
Alberta I am happy to inform you
that I am not ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington, Wash,
on the 18th day of May, driving all the
way. We had time to build our
log house the first fall, and to make
us comfortable for the family and
stock. We then built four stables, 1Sx
20 inside, SO that we could put every
thing inside them when the cold got
down to the fifties, and worked hard
getting up the stables, and got through
clubbing on the 1st of December; but,
to our surprise, we had no use for the
stables only for the milk cow and two
spans of horses The balance of the
horses lived on the prairie all winter,
and took care of themselves. The doors
of two stables were left open for them
to go into in a cold time, but they
would not do it, but stayed out on the
prairie the coolest night we had and
looked as spry as crickets.

OF their circumstances. Every one of
them have doubled their cultivated
land, and doubled their animals, and
a great deal more. All of US are com

bind some barley we found that in
stead Of taking two pounds to the acre,
it was taking nearly five pounds. Then

All 1 can say is that it is well-headed,
and takes an enormous amount of

Austrian Court Customs.

In the Austrian court it is contrary to
custom for perishabIe articles to ap-
pear twice on the imperial table The
result is large perquisites for the at
pendants. To one man fall all un-
corlzed bottles, to another the wine left
in the glasses, to another the joints,
and to still another the game or the
sweets. Every morning a sort of mar
ket is held in the basement Of the pal
ace, where the Viennese come to pur-
chase the remains-New York Post.

A great many well-known men and
women have been fond of different
scents, as Is historically known, but it
is hard to say how far their characters
fit in with this new idea. For instance,
Nero loved the scent of roses, whether
distilled or from the freshly cut flow
ers; Louis XIV. delighted in the per-
fume of orange flowers; while Rich
ellen liked a different scent in each Of
the rooms; the Empress Josephine
soaked her things in musk; and Ma
poleon is said to have emptied whole
bottle. of eau-de-Cologne over his
clothes when he was dressed; Victor
Hugo rejoiced in wild flowers; Alex
ander Dumas loved the Towering myr-
tie, and Charles Dickens adored white

The Danger of Catsrrh Ointments That
Contain Mercury.
This journal, although more particu-
larly devoted to all that interests
finance, commerce and manufactur-
ing, is nevertheless always awake to
the need and wants of its readers, let
the subject be what it may. We were
asked to Investigate and report upon
the merits of the various catarrh RENE
dies on the market. The production
of preparations of injurious compost
ton cannot, unfortunately, be stopped
or restricted at present, or until our
state legislatures can be induced to
pass such suitable and stringent laws
as will efectually prevent their ap-
pearance on the market In the mean
time, the people must look out for
themselves. In this matter, we have
made a most careful and painstaking
Investigation, realizing the confidence
that would be placed in our reply. Our
medical staff employed to make such
Investigations were most favorably
impressed with the preparation known
as Halls catarrh cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co. Of Toledo, Ohio.
and agreed that this peerless remedy
deserves our highest Endorsement
Many OF the catarrh remedies on the
market contain mercury, which de-
stroys the sense of smell and deranges
the whole system when entering
through the mucous surfaces. From
analysis we found that Halls catarrh
cure contains no mercury. It is taken
internally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the sys-

in this matter beyond faithfully serv-
ing our readers, and as our indorse-
ment is extended without reward Of

statements have met with for the past
eighteen years.-Southern Review Of

It is La Porte. at the head of Gal

A magnificent natural land-locked
harbor already exists and extensive

deepen Galveston Bay, affording a 26-
