Badsn-powell as an Artist.

Baden-Powells mother was annoyed
at the habit her son had of holding his
pencil or paint brush with his left hand

Baden-POwell." one day Ruskin caned
when this doubt was in her mind, and
TO him the question was propounded.
Without moments hesitation he coun-

together they went TO find the young
artist at his work. In the playroom
they discovered one brother reading
hard at astronomy, and the other with
a penny box OF water colors, painting
for dear life-with his left hand. Now.

DEMOCRATIC CONSISTENCY.

Brother McClanahan may not be here
on Democratic ratification day to tell
us how Interchangeable and everlasting
are the principles Of the Democratic
party. To make UP for what will doubt
less be felt as n loss the Advertiser
offers the following extracts from past
Democratic platforms by way OF af-
fectiouate comparison with the existing
principles OF the party:
Platform OF Andrew Jackson. mads
at Baltimore. March %, 1892: 'Resolv-
ed. That adequate protection TO Ameri-
can industry is Indispensable TO the
prosperity OF the country; and that an
abandonment OF this policy will be at
tended with consequences ruinous to
the best interests of the nation"
Martin Van Buren's platform In 1870:
Resolved, That congress has no right
or power to interfere with slavery in
any state or territory"
Platform OF Lewis Cass In 1875: Re
solved. That we approve the taking Of
tsrritory from Mexico in indemnity for
the late war"
Platform OF Franklin Pierce in 1859:
Resolved. That the country has never
with foreign questions which are in
ferior 20 no domestic questions what
ever. The lime has come for the people
Of the United States 20 declare them
selves I'm favor OF free seas and progress
sive trade throughout the world"
Platform cf Douglas in 1ssO-the same
being founJ h the platform Of Breck
inridge In tne came year: Resolved
THAT the Democratic party Is I'm favol
OF the acquisition OF the island o
Cuba
Platform % Grover Cleveland in 1884
"Resoiver. That the country has neve

policy save under Democratic admins
trations. and that. as the result OF thi
policy. we recall the acquisition o
Louisiana. Florida. California and tn
adjacent Mexican territory, and con
trast these grand acquisitions of Dem

THE LABOR TROUBLES.

The venerable John NJ Horner has
written letters To the Advertiser for
many years but we recall none that Is
more original and striking than his
thesis. printed elsewhere, on the labor
question. Himself n planter. Mr.. Horn
or scores planters for raising wages and
introducing profit-sharing methods and
the like. the net result OF which has
been TO dissatisfy the mass OF the
coolies and cause decentralization of the
labor markets. In his opinion II the
planters had held to the old contract
rates and given the japanese to under
stand that they must either accept
them OF leave the plantations. the pres
ent troubles would have been averted.
As II isnow with coolies on one pianta-
ton getting more pay than those on
another and with field hands in the
proft-sharing line making from $40 to
$40 per month as against SIC and SIS
paid 10 those who labor on the old
basis. there Is general unrest and un-
pleasantness.
Mr. Horner's criticism seems to be
Just one but as the matter Is
personal TO the planters we may
adjust. However our correspondent
DTlUAH w " puDuC NutSNiOH Nhtn nc
calls the Government to account for
employing labor on public works which
r. needed In the cane fields. Mr.. Horn
er would have road and street improve
ments stop while the labor stringency
exists. believing that enough coolies
would. thereupon. seek work on the
plantations TO relieve those which are
now running short-handed.
The Advertiser does not believe that
any policy of long delay in providing
good roads and streets would be APP
proved by the people even though II
might tend 20 benefit the sugar indus
q try: but certain works of public utility
might be eased along for n few weeks
or months on the understanding that
the planters will act as promptly as
may be In the matter of new labor
supply. We have great hopes of the
plan TO bring negro families here from
the steady going rural communities OF
the South and II that solution Of pres
ent troubles is practicable the planters
should apply a speedily. Dependence
on any general cessation of work on
public utilities SO that the planters may
use all the labor in the market strikes
US "a being sadly impracticable.

A Gambling Wreck.

Failure in a legitimate business is
frequently due to gambling habits out
side of it, but it isn't often so freely
confessed as ii was in the case of a
New York importing house which failed
recently. The head of the house admits
that his losses have been made at the
roulette wheel. He ADDS that he did
his gambling on credit, and paid his
losses by checks, which went through
his bank and were paid in the regular
way Thirty of these checks, amounting
in all to $50 716. were exhibited at the
creditors meeting. but they did not by
any means represent all of the losses OF
the firm, which were all made in gam
bling houses in New York.
