The Democratic Party.

Every turn of events appears to make it
more evident that the Democratic party
must advance and occupy newer and
higher ground or fall hopelessly to the
rear. This clinging to the fragments of
its conservatism, little else than supersti-
ton of defunct old estate rights" theories
and lndividualism in business. is played
out. Things have changed from those of
a hundred years ago. The developments
OF science, the era of steam and electricity
have enabled money to organize its forces
of despotic power against the individual,
by purchasing and appropriating every
advantage that this new era has afforded
and is offering, for the betterment of all
By this means trusts are absorbing every
opportunity that used to be open to all,
and complete aristocracy of wealth aud
privilege is rapidly building up which
contemplates transmission of hereditary
wealth, privileges and power to their
descendants. The franchises which are
being given these ever expanding cor
porations by special legislation will be
claimed by succeeding generation as
rights by eminent domain, and law defied
which contemplates their transfer back to
their natural owners, the people.
This class of great " organizers" with
]. Pierpont Morgan as leader, are consol
idating their power with Mckinley
watching for the opportunity, when like
Napoleon III, he may make successful
coup a. etat and establish himself as EN-.
peror under the name of perpetual Pres
ident with the form, perhaps, of quad
renniai election TO amuse and delude the
people. He possesses all the political
cunning, sans conscience, duplicity. self
estimation and petty ambition of Louis
Napoleon, and the money trust, the rail-
road trust and the Associated Press daily
newspaper trust stand yready to declare
the republic a failure aud the empire
peace, safety, and the United States the
greatest among world powers"
The whole gang are straining every
nerve 10 hasten up their plans by steadily
consolidating, building a great navy,
organizing large army, and acquiring
new territories in remote parts of the earth
to be governed as the colonies of imperial
, and monarchical governments rule them.

,D1ToR OF THE MIDLAND JOURNAL,

EDITOR OF THE MIDLAND JOURNAL,
DEAR SIR In the published accounts
of the proceedings of the Democratic pri-
mary Of the Sixth district. held in Rising
Sun on Saturday last, see it stated that
Pogue and Briscoe were opposed by S. NJ
Cardell and x-postmaster ]. c. uindman
wish to correct this Statement through
your columns. ]. c. Hindman was OIL
! the other side of the fence, working for
himself as usual. In opposition to the
"Crothers' faction l stood alone, with
the exception of my friends, both Demo
cratic and Republican.
Mr.. Hindman relying upon those
sweet promises" fully expected to be
the clark horse of the convention, but
discovered OH Saturday that the promises
were to he broken il his case, as they
have SO often been disregarded in DAYS
gore by, in the case of other aspiring
candidates.
The convention is over, the nonlina-
tons have been made, but the election is
not yet. Six months remain in which all
true Democrats should work for the over
throw of the German ring. one of the
most despotic and corrupt political coul-
binations ever organized in this land.

The Times Changes Owners.

The Philadelphia Times has changed
owners again, its new proprietor Mr..
Richard Ochs, declaring there shall be nc
more Bryan and Organism in the paper.
The status of the Times in future will be
gold Democratic, though claiming to be
independent.
There is a relentless fight on TO force
the Democratic organization into the
hands of the gold party, which is a side
show of Republican party. Every paper
that favors Bryan, or rather the principles
which Bryan represents, is to be bought
up by the money trust. We presume
Bryan sees this. and being aware of the
fact why don't he take an impregnable
position which is bound to win in the
long run? The negative position the
party occupies cannot win ever, but will
grow weaker with the people in the
future.

Destroy the Curculio.

The time is near at hand for
sprinkling the fruit trees to destroy
the curculio. A teaspoonful of
Paris green to one bucket of water
is a good preparation to destroy the
little turk
The proper time to sprinkle the
trees is just when they commence
to shed their blossoms. Never
sprinkle when the trees are in full
bloom, Wien the bees and honey
eating insects visit the blossoms,
but just as soon as they leave them.
The curculio does not visit the
trees to deposit its egg until the
young fruit is shaped, which is
when the blossoms begin to drop.
Sprinkle thoroughly and if no rain
falls after go over the trees in four
or five days. If rain falls soon
after sprinkling, spray the trees
again as soon as the leaves dry.
Bees and other honey insects are
fertilizers of the blossoms and add
much to the abundance of the fruit
crop, and while they are at work
on the trees the poison solution
should not be sprinkled on them,

the fruit is formed, hen honey.

to howl at these things and offer no rem
edy? That howl is falling on deaf ears of
the masses who have become accustomed
to hearing it, and ceased to heed it.
Ifthe Democratic party does not take
an advanced step, proclaim government
ownership of public utilities, and sound
its war trumpets for an advance instead
of beating its reveille drums in camp the
earnest men of the party may as well
begin to cast about for something that
holds out hope. Just look, if you
please, at the election of Wells as Mayor
of ST. Louis, an avowed Republican, in
all that party implies, who worked and
voted against Bryan in 1896 and in 1900,
gold corporationist, through and
through, nominated as a Democratic
! candidate Now the Boosting ''pie
counter" and gold corporation element OF
the party are pointing TO the result as
indicating the proper course to pursue to
''unite" the party.
What would national victory on such
compromise be worth ? 1t would be
worse than barren. 1t would result i'll
another Cleveland faseo intensified and
enlarged. Democratic victory with
only Republican fruits.
These fellows are always ready to
harmonic" the Democratic party on
their D1an and no other with Themselves
in entire control. What would victory
be worth on such lines if won? There is
but one choice of two alternatives for the
party, come out or get out

Bryan says in his Commoner.. '"rhe
young men of the country should take All

partisan politics, but in the study Of

In referring to the Louisiana purchase
in connection with the St. Louis exposi-
ton, Bryan in his Commoner says:
"There was no cant about benevolent
assimilation no hypocritical phrasing
about duty aud destiny no Pickniffian
pretense of American valor.' 1t required
no immense armies, no great outlay OF
public money, no special stamp taxes, no
recruiting stations, no mothers tears to
make it binding on all the people. 1t
was a triumph of diplomacy and Amer
ican honor, not breaking of American
faith and departure from American
principles"

1t is seldom that a ticket of such supe
rior excellence all through is presented

selected.
