against forming an alliance with Popu--s
lists When the Democratic party mas
itself subscribing to some OF the pa1ernaa,s
conrnunisiic and socialisuc planks OF ,the
Sioux Falls platform" 1t goes on, ana
permits a, few ignorant and incompetent
men to nominate its entire ticket partly
out of the ranks of the common enemy,
it may be doubted If there Will long be a
Democratic party. Thomas Jefferson may
then be hauled down from the sacred
mace which he has SO long occupied as
patron saint, and the name Democrat, SO
long and so fifty associated with the car
dinal idea of the great republic, should DE
classified In the new editions OF the die
tionary as obsolete
This is strange reading as coming from
a newspaper which was the representative
Western organ of the party in 1886. which
exploited the Populistic plank OF the
Chicago platform, encouraged the alliance
with Populists and free silver Republicans,
and denounced as a traitor every Demo
crat who stood by the old Jeffersonian
principles and refused to go astray with
the Chicago grand trek
But that is neither here nor there. The
iblunder is of the past, and the sensible
thing TO do now is to correct the mistake
which was then made. to formulate
Democratic platform, to repudiate Popul-
ism and invite all true Democrats to come
together and preserve the name and prin-
cIples Of the party.

EDIroI, HEaRsT's CALL.

A few fdays back we made mention OF
the fact that Mr. William r. Hearst, owner
and editor of that noxious newspaper, the
New York Journal, had been made presi-
dent of the National Association Of Demo
cratic Clubs, and that he threatened the
public with an address from that assocla-
ton in short time. He has now exc
cuted his threat and We quote his address
as follows:
To the Democratic Clubs and Societies OF
the United States:
Recent events in the history of the
United States point TO the approaching an
niversary Of the birthday of the nation
as day that should be celebrated With
special favor this year. There are those in
the nation who seek TO create the I'M
preston that the American people have
outgrown their love for the just principles
of government expressed in the Declaration
of independence. and are ready to surren-
der their moral leadership among nations
in order to crafty a newly-born instinct
for imperial power, founded on coioIidi
system.
All Democratic clubs and societies are
earnestly requested to assemble on the
Fourth of July, and all patriotic citizens,
regardless of past party affiliations, are
urged to join with them in new pledge OF
0ueIltN 10 lle ISDuUi!C l4iS lehiSi 1iiS'sAN
it. Let the people of the United States
unite in their various cities, towns and
villages in demonstration OF the conn-
dence they feel in the form of government
under which the nation has grown to It's
present greatness.
The danger which threatens the country
is real and imminent. It seems appro-
pirate, therefore, that citizens who believe
that the Declaration OF Independence is
not merely an academic document should
meet together on this day and give voice
TO The national sentiment that all men are
created free and equal. and that there
must be no subject colonies under the
American flag w. r. HEARST,
President of National Association OF Demo
cratic Clubs.
I, is always we'll to see the American
people making much of the Fourth of July
and celebrating it with ponp and splendor.
On that day more than one hundred years
ago the Englishmen who dwelt then in
America declared that they would no
longer submit 10 the tyrannical rule of
their fellow-Englistlmen in England. who
believed in the divine right Of kings to
plumber and insult Englishmen at their
| pleasure. aided and assisted by a great
body of fellow-Englishnen in England, led

here. where freedom would be guaranteed
to all men and every one should be given

MRS RIpD1cKs TESTIMONY.


Mrs. R1daicI made very good witness.
She stood the trying ordeal of d long ana
searching. cross-axaul;nation very wei.
The lady. had 20 answer many very dell
cate questions from counsel on noth
sides. Mrs. RtddtcIs told of the eccentrici-
ties of her husband, of his loss OF mem
ory and absent l;indedness. He often ior-
cot his appointments. Some times when
starting out ne had to be directed 10 Z
church that he had visited many times.
Frequently he would go TO bed with ms
shoes and clothes on. She had known MN
to forget to put on underwear. and once
he put his shoes on without socks and did
not discover the mistake until ne had been
TO church and preached.
Mrs. Riddick set at rest all speculation
as to what DR.. Temple said to her on the
visit the Wednesday before the shooting
She stated that his actions and words
were altogether becoming a family physl-
sian and gentleman.
After the Doctors visit Mr.. Riddch
seemed to take uo the idea that the ply
