Truth is the great foundation
principle of all morality. If truth
is practiced all other virtues will
erect themselves easily upon the
foundation of truth. Truth in
word is veracity. Truth in deed
is honesty. Truth in work is in
dustry. Truth in promise is fidel-
ity. Truth in appetite is sobriety
and moderation. In short, truth
is of divine origin, and its con-
slant practice in all things must
necessarily purify and elevate.

Democracy makes for peace;
protective tariffs make for COM
mercial warfare. Democracy
wants the world organized on the
lines of Jefferson; the dethrone-
ment of kings, emperors, czars
and suitans; the enforcement of
the people, Democracy is for
liberty, commercial, religious.
industrial, personal and political
liberty. And Democracy is bound
to win if it holds fast to the prin-
ciple and is not led astray by
campaigns of expediency.

The Deeper Note.

Sweetest strains of music
To our hearing known
Garry in their melody
A wistful undertone;
just tinge of pathos,
just a hint of pain,
That somehow with deeper note
Sweetens the refrain.
Truest hearts of gladness
Singing through the day
Dwell from melancholy thought
Never far away;
just tender memory,
Just a vanished dream,
That somehow makes their song Of JOY
All the sweeter seem.

the French Fleet OF DunlirI<.

CONIPEIGNE, Sept. 1S.-The Cars first
day on French soil passed without UNI
toward incident, except the delay of
couple of hours in docking the STANDARD,
the Russian imperial yacht, at Dunkirk.
The presidential train conveying NJ. Louoet
and the Car and Czarina with their suites
arrived at Compeigne this evening. The ut
most vigilance was exercised along the rail-
road track. The train dashed through a
double row OF bayonets and drawn
sabres, as the infantry was reinforced by
regiments of dragons and hussars. In
some cases double lines of troops were on
each side of the track, the first line being
foot soldiers and second line cavalry.
The town of Compeigne was brilliantly
Illuminated, the whole route from the sta
ton to the chateau being decorated with
fegtoons and colOred lights. The streets
were entirely clear of the public, and the
window, however, was filled with specta-
tors who greeted Emperor Nicholas with
an incessant roar of cheers.
A four-horse landau with the CZarina and
her ladies of honor headed the procession.
Emperor Nicholas and President Loubet
followed together. AT the back OF their
landau sat a presidential footman and a
scarlet-coated COssack. Cannon saluteS
were fired and the bands played the Mar
seillaise and Russian hymn until the
chateau was reached.
This beautiful structure was Illuminated
with lines of electric lamps. Nine. Loubet
was waiting there TO receive the imperial
guests. The evening was spent quietly at
Car and Czarina dining in their respective
aDartmentS.
