REORGANIZATION.

The talk about the reorganization Of
the Democratic party continues, and
wise men treat the proposition as II
there was something in 1t worthconsid-
ering at the present time. Vice Chair
man Johnson struck the keynote of
the discussion soon after 1t started
when he pointed out that there was no
way of recognizing the party before
the next national convention for the
reason that all the offices in the party
are held by Bryan democrats and only
a few of them are willing to listen to
a proposition to make any radical
change in the principles of the party
as they have been understood and pro-
mulgated for the past five years.
Clearly the only way to reorganize the
party is to control its machinery, and
that being impossible, there is no way
to carry out any reorganization
scheme for the present. True, there
are few men on the national COM
mittee, like John R. Mclean, who are
in favor of considerable changes in the
policy OF the party and there are 9th
ers like him undoubtedly who will
make heir influence felt in favor of
great conservatism, but should their
counsels prevail, that will not be re-
organization. 1t will be growth or
change. When Don M. Dickson and
the rest of the Cleveland Democrats
talk about reorganization, if they
mean anything at all, they mean such
a change as will turn all the present
leaders out of their places and the
substitution of others who disagree
with them on almost all of the practi E
cal questions that confront the party.
They can accomplish this by substi-
tuting such men as Mr.. Carlisle, Gen
eral Buckner, j. Sterling Morton, eX-
Congressman Cultivate and others of
their kind for the men who now hold
the official positions in the party, and
any such a procedure is clearly impos-
sible before the next national conven-
tion.
Perhaps what Mr.. Dickson has in
mind is the capturing of the local Or
ganizations two years hence with a
view of bringing the whole party into
line two years after that, but if this is
SO he has not deigned to say it, and his
call for a reorganization is mere talk
at present, without a single practical
proposal behind it.-Columbus Citizen.

Herr Most spoke in Chicago on the
occasion of the thirteenth anniversary
of the Haymarket riots, and gave vent
to some very bold and inflammatory
utterances in his advocacy of anarchy
Shame to the name of Chicago that
such an occurrence shouldbe permitted

praise to the city of New York for pro-
hibiting an anarchistic play to be pro-
duced in one of the theatres of the
country's metropolis.

CLAIMS
For Damages in the Philippines Demanded

Washington, D. c., Nov. 13.-The
President will submit to Congress
claims for indemnification,a ,and for 9TH
er substantial recognition for the Brit
ish Cable Corporation, which suffered
as a result Of the American occupation
of the Philippines. The corporation
claimed damages for the interruption
of their cable business by the Ameri-
can government. This claim is reduc-
ed to the very lowest figure. The COM
pany claims that franchise from the
Spanish government, obtained before
the war, as granting monopoly on
the cable business throughout the
Philippines. The monopoly has been
invaded by the United States govern
ment. AT the same time the Manila
and Dagapan Railroad Co., the only
railroad in the Philippines, has set up
a claim, first for compensation for the
use of its property by the United
States, second for the continuance of
an annual subsidy of $500 pounds, that
had been granted by the Spanish gov
ernment against the Philippine reve-

In the work of constructing the new
court house, one thing should not be
overlooked and that is the matter of
giving proper protection to the large
trees that are located on and adjacent
to the court house lot. Everyone
knows that unless some attention is
given to this the trees are liable to be
damaged to such an extent as to kill
them, 1t is to be hoped that the Com
missioners will see to it that the nee
essary safeguards are thrown around
these large and beautiful trees.

AN EDITORS STORY.

II was a country editor in Indiana
about 25 years ago." said a retired
newspaper man. "One day an old
farmer who had been one of my con
stant readers for three years, always
paying in advance came into my office
and said he wanted me to quit send
ing him the paper. | was curious to
know why because he had been on the
books so long. Then he told me he
had missed from my columns a patent
medicine advertisement in which was
a testimonial from him fthe efficiency
of the medicine. He said that as long
as the advertisement appeared he and
his family always turned to it the first
thing when they got the paper, and
that his children were accustomed to
talking about pops name bein' in the
paper
Il explained to him that the con-
tract for the advertisement had expir-
ed and | could not run it without pay.
But this failed to satisfy him. He in
sisted that his paper should stop at
once | wrote to the advertising agent
explaining the incident, and | secured
a renewal of the advertisement. Then
the old subscribers name again went
on the books. | am the only country

Edinburgh, Nov. 13-Jos. II. Choate,
Ambassador to Great Britain, tonight
delivered his inaugural lecture at the
Philosophical Institution at Edinburgh,
taking as his theme, "The Career and
Character of Abraham Lincoln" Lord
Roseberry introduced Mr.. Choate as
follows:
"Mr. Choate is one of that choice
succession of men whom the United
States have sent to this country and
has endeared himself to us in re-
markable degree by his brilliant and
genial qualities. For his discourse he
has selected one of the most interest

There were many noted persons in
the audience, and Mr.. Choate was fire.
quently applauded. Lord Roseberry
referring to the vote of thanks for
presiding, said: Abraham Lincoln
was one of the great figures of the
nineteenth century. To me it also
seemed that he was the sec
ond founder of the great
republic. His strength rested on
two rocks-unflinching principle and
illimitable common sense. The one
distinguishing feature that disassoci-
ates him from all other great men of
history was his immense fund of. hui

Door Spreading Eastward.

The common red, or Virginia deer,
is exceedingly plentiful in many parts
of New Brunswick. and a peculiar fact
concerning it is, that it is largely
changing it's habitat, SO far as Canada
is concerned. It has recently made its
appearance in the Gaspe district, where
hitherto it was unknown. Upon the
north shore Of the st. Lawrence it was
only known until quite recently, to in
habit Western Canada and the Ottawa
district of the Province of Quebec.
Within the last year or two it. has
spread into the St. Maurice territory,
and thence into the country north OF
Lake st. John. In the vicinity of Que
bee specimens have lately been seen
swimming across the st. Lawrence
from the south shore to the north
shore. In the localities where It is most
abundant. namely, in the Ottawa and
Gaspe districts, in the Metapedia val
ley, north Of Montreal. the neighbor-
hood of Lake Megantic and the coun-
ties Of Beauce, L'Islet and Kamour-
aska, It has increased to such an ex-
tent as to be q nuisance to the farm
ers, whose crops 1t ravishes. It seems
particularly fond of peas. Large num-
bers of this beautiful animal are now
falling daily to the guns Of visiting
spogtsmen.-Toronto Sunday World.

P. Wilson, now director of the museum,

can, and get them quickly" he said.
The assistant lost no time in making
his way to the nearest gate. But in
a few minutes he came back despond-
ent. Its n use,' he said; I'VE can't
get a wagon! They are afraid thieves
may plumber exhibits, and the guards
will let no one enter the grounds. What
can we do?" dot" exclaimed DR..
Wilson; why, get those wagons here!
We must and will have them. Go back
and hire them. Then form them in a
line outside the gate, and at the head
of the line put tSs biggest driver and
the best team of the lot Then, when
you give the word, let them drive in,

Irishman, it swept past the astonished
guards like a battery going into action,
stopping only when the agricultural
building was reached. The goods that
DR.. Wilson was anxious to save were
among the thirty carloads of exhibits
shipped to Philadelphia three weeks
later, and some Of them may be seer

son his daty to his parents.
This went on for some time, and
Heldar became pathetic. A sort OF
apathy rested upon the people. They
sang melancholy hymns at church,
they talked of the sorrows of life. and
above all they resigned themselves to
the inevitable.
But it happened that Jeanette Vail
came to town. She was the niece OF
the Hansons, who had lived there al
ways. The town felt a furry of some
thing akin. to excitement at the advent
of this glowing young beauty, h heir
ess, al it was learned, to a goodly
fortune. The sight of her on her
wheel, glancing along the streets, was
invigorating, and Heldar temporarily
forgot its depression. A dance was got
up in her honor, and her gaiety ana
charm seemed to bring fresh life to
the girls whose lovers v came
back and to the young men whom for
tune had stranded in the quiet spot.
The first time Jeanette had occa-
sion to go to the postofice there was
a sensation. AS usual, n of the wild
eyed cats was looking out of the win
dow.
Dear me, postmistress." cried jean
nette, with good-natured condescen-
sion, lis that your cat?"
The cat blinKed gloomily, and the
postmistress did not answer, but as
she appeared at the window another
cat was visible on her shoulder. =
You must be fond of CATS" said the
girl pleasantly. The group IN the
postomce held their breath. 1t was
unheard of for the dour Patsy to be
addressed in this fashion.
Have you any mail for Miss Vail
Jeannette Vail?"
The postmistress shook her head.
But you haven't looked. How can
you know"
With a flash of anger from her little
eyes Patsy looked, but returned with
a mute denial.
TITS strange" said Miss Vail, doubt
fully. Il hope you have made quite
sure" What Miss Patsy did to cause
the cat on her shoulder to arch its
back and spit at the girl outside the
window it would be difficult to i'm
agine, but the o%nlookers did not ap-
pear to be surprised. Miss Vail went
home that night, ill-content, and the
next day she was at the p%ostofice

The comparison or an undulating

the tidal movements of the ocean has
often been made in prose and poetry,
hut the highest development in all
things, whether mental or physical, is

would be we'll if this truth were more
generally and thoroughly appreciated.
What is it that is causing the nervOu
b%reakdowns among our business men,
society women and students? Does not
every n in this rushing modern life
feel that there is more put upon him
than he can possibly do; more work
and play and engagements and cares?
Yet the trouble in most cases is not
that people are overworked, but that
they work against physiologic law.
The business man feels that there can
be no pause in work if he is to win
success, and it is the continuity of
strain that is killing him; the scholar
who studies night and day loses origin
atty and insight and finds himself be-
coming a bookworm and a pedant. 1t
is the old story of Cali work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" which
might we'll be reversed to fit the suf-
fering from nervous exhaustion of
pleasure-seekers, whose lives are
blighted by ennui and discomfort. The
best work of our lives is not done with
the feverish, overwhelmed and bur-
dened mind which comes from contin-
uous, u%nvarying strain, whether phys
ical or mental, whether from business
or pleasure. We all need the ebb-
tides of recreation, relaxation and quiet
thought in order that there may follow
the floodtides of health and strength
for the real decisive efforts of life.
