Some democratic DISDeliefs.
New York Journal.
A Democrat does not believe
that the President of the United
States is greater than the Consti-
tuition.
He does not believe that carpet
bag government in Porto Rico, OF
any other country under the Amer
ican flag, is either necessary or
constitutional.
He does not favor great stand
ing army or military government
which means an imperial govern
ment.
lie does not favor control of the
Treasury by the bankers generally
aud by few trusts particularly.
He does not believe in vast COM
binations of capital for the purpose
of crushing competition, raising
the price and Expressing labor.
He docs not believe that any
money is SUCH dishonest money as
that which is used dishonesty.
He believes that Porto Rico
should be governed by Porto Rio
ans, and that the Philippines
should be governed by their peo-
ple-both under the protection of
the American flag.
Finally, he believes in eleoting
to the Presidency a man who will
not be under the thumb of Hanna
and Rockefeller.

what Former German Htepub-
Iican Has to say.
Washington, July 18.-The Re
publicans are beginning to realize
that the opposition of our German
voters to imperialism is not mere
passing whim, but is based upon
principle, which will cause many
thousand votes cast for Mckinley
in 1896 to be cast for Bryan and
Stevenson this year. Or. u. w.
Haberoom, who was head of the
German Literary Bureau of the
Republican National Committee
d6ring the last campaign and who
is now supporting the Democratic
ticket, has made public a state
ment of his reasons for abandoning
the Republican party, from which
this is quoted: Expansion of the
Union on the American continent
is proper.
"Expansion not of the Union,
but by the acquisition of possess
ion which arc to be governed as
dependencies, subject only to the
will and caprice of our Executive
and Congress, unrestricted by the
Constitution, and without the con-
sent and against wishes of the peo-
pie to be governed, who thereby
become subjects, is in my opinion,
improper, unjust and unrepubli-
can; the government of the U. S..
is thereby transformed into an i'm
,perial government for our possess
ions.
"a government with imperial
power over possessions cannot long
remain republican at home. AS
the government could not have
lived half slave and half free, so it
cannot live half imperialist and
half republican. The foreign pol
icy adopted by the republican party
embroils us in all the quarrels of
the world, and entangles us in for
eign alliances. 1t has already en-
tangled us in one-an unwritten
alliance with Great Britain. Since
British diplomacy succeeded in
persuading our administration and
our peace commissioners to force
Spain to cede to us the quickly
Withdrawing shadow of its already
expelled sovereignty over the Phil
ippines, we have been compelled to
go hand in hand with England.
The republican party now stands
for imperiulistic expansion and is
already busy cultivntidg the spirit
of militarism. The democratic
party has earnestly, clearly and
forcibly pronounced against imper-
ialism and its resultant evils, for
the preservation of the republic and
tho constitution. The issue is thus
made up and consider it my plain
duty to help maintain the republic
by such efforts as [ can make,
humble though they are.
Do not shirk; rather go beyond
your task. Do not let any young
man think he has performed his
duty when he has performed the
task assigned him. A man will
never rise if he acts thus. Promo.
ton comes from exceptional work.
A man must discover where his en-
ployer's interests lie and push for
these. The young man who does
this is the young man whom CAPT
tai wants for partner and son-in-
law. He is the young man who by
and by reaches the head of the
firm.

TUESDAY.

a nuLLer OF IanSB maSS OIL
bright, intelligent faces, eager to
know, such is the Teachers Insti-
tute now in session at the Court
House.
When teachers, or anyone else
for that matter, roast and swelter
in the suffocating heat in the
Court House, while outside is the
cool refreshing shade of the Court
House naples, it betokens two
things, first, an earnestness on the
part of the teachers almost without
parallel, second, intellectual en-
tertainment of high order on the
part of the instructors.
Among the subjects ably dis
cussed by Professors Corbly and
Ford yesterday were the following:
County and District Superin-
tendence."
"District Institutes"
"Yertioal Writing"
Free Text Books"
"The Boer War"
Prof. Corbly also gave very in
teresting talk on the subject of
coal, describing it's geological for
nation, chemical composition and
describing the various kinds. He
also exhibited specimens.
Just before noon iutermission
Superintendent BIagg announced
the following committee on reso-
lutions:
Mr. E. M. Hill, Miss Mary
Spurlock, Mr.. Chas. d. Ball, Miss
Mary A. Young, Mr.. B. 81. Holly.

To be bound hand and foot for years
by the chains of disease is the worst
form OF slavery. George d. Williams,
of Manchester, Mich, tells how such a
slave was made free. He says: My

alone. After using two bottles of Elec-
trio Bitters, she is wonderfully improY-

Prof. Geo. M. Ford, the junior
instructor at the Teachers Institute
is one of the brightest and best
posted men on school work, that
we have ever met; and his eminent
ability is appreciated by the teach
ers assembled. He is a pleasant
gentleman, and always has smile
and warm greeting for every
teacher and every visitor, and his
high order of intelligence, and his
big heart makes him popular with
everyone.

While it is sometimes the case
that Institute attendance is task,
and teachers are held by force of
law, it is remarkable that about
one-fourth of the members of this
Institute would rather stay in after
the regular closing hour to hear a
lecture on what is generally called
dry subject, than to attend a ball
game or woo the inviting shade of
the Court House naples.

If the Register reporter is a
Judge, and we believe he has a
pretty critical eye, there are one or
two of the pretty teachers, who will
soon give up teaching, and come
and live in our town, for several of
the charming young women have
captured the hearts of several of
our young men. We could name
them, but we wont.

THREW CHILD ON FLOOR.
Stories of Cruel Treatment Told by
Applicants for Divorce.

; If the story told by Mrs. Jennie NJ.
Kinsey in Judge Jaggard's court yes
terday morning is true, married life has
been complete failure for her and she is
entitled to whatever relief may be found
in divorce.
She was married to Daniel kinSey in
1890 and in the following year twins were
born to them She alleges that before she
was sufficiently recovered to attend to
house work, her husband insisted on her
cooking his food saying that of the hired
girl was not good enough for him. She
did So but the dish prepared did not suit
his faStidious taste and he threw the
food on the floor, greatly alarming her,
and causing a relapse from which she
did not recover for ten days.
Shortly before the arrival Of the third
child, he brutaliy kicked her and once he
threw one of the twins on the floor be-
cause it was on the bed on which he
wished to lie.
Other cruel assaults were specified, and
at the conclusion of the evidence the
Judge ordered findings in her favor.
Cora Crisp also secured a divorce from
Z. Crisp en- the ground Of cruelty. Tie
er and given to accusing his wife Of I'M
faithfulness.
E. N. Costello was granted a divorce
by Judge Bum, on the ground of deser-
ton. The plaintiff alleged that his wife
left him more than a year ago. The
charges We're admitted by the defendant
and q decree was granted.
Mrs. Jennie Reedy has commenced an
action for divorce against J. ]. Reedy
who, she says drinks to excess. Cruel
treatment is also alleged.

Fate and an apparently extremely
irascible temper, seem to have conspired
to give Carl Weber. a white haired pa
triarch, the worst of any litigation into
which he may become involved First his
wife secured a divorce, then one Of MS
daughters secured a verdict for years
of service in his grocery store, and yes
terday another daughter, Ann Maria
Weber, was awarded 81 800 as oompensa-
ton for personal injuries sustained at the
bands of her pa, who used a brick bat,
and brought the same down on his
daughters head with a violence that the
Jury estimated--te~b worth fully $3.50
to the victim of the assault.
The counsel for the defense, Otto
Kueffner, seemed to have shared III some
degree the i'll luck that pursues his client,
for, when he proceeded to seek his coat
and hat at the conclusion of the case,
be found that they had been appropriated
by some enterprising individual, and lie
departed, the victim in legal parlance,
of involuntary alienation.
The case had been in progress for sew

that the plaintiff, who is a music teacher,
did not live on very pleasant terms with
her aged father, who has passed the
psalmist,s allotted space Of three score
years and ten. ~
