HE HAD NOTICE.

As We have said. the defendant had notice
Of the passage Of the ordinance requiring the
laying OF the sidewalk within sixty days from
the time IL went into effect, but the evidence
shows that a special grade was required in Mr.
Stocker's case, and the council recognized this
when they directed the street committee TO
confer with him az to the grade. He could
not comply with the requirements Of the ord.
nance until the grade was established, and as
a matter OF fact there was time given him
to comply alter the grade Was fixed. II would
seem that he should have the full sixty days
after the establishing ot the grade i'll which
TO lay the walk, hut at any rate it Is clear
that he should at least have reasonable op.
portunity III laying II himself before the bor.
ough would be justified in doing so and col
lecting the cost from him.
There are also other grounds upon which the
non suit would have TO be sustained, and it
seems TO us that the want of notice is fatal TO
the plaintiffs case, and that discussion Of
the other questions is unnecessary.
And now, January 80, 1901, the rule 10 show
cause why the non-s,it should not be taken of
is discharged.

grievances and complaints.
The Democratic idea, in a nut shell, is
strength in the home aud manhood in the
individual, as opposed to the sacrifice of
local power and inherent ight in ex
change for general aggrandizement and
overriding responsibilty-our present
unhappy and deploRble condition.
The principles Of Democracy are the
natural aspirations Of mankind; the pre-
cepts and practices Of Republicanism are
the artificial creations of inordinate ambi-
tiUn, wealth, and cultivated exclusveness.
The former encourages the growth Of
individual strength, quickens the budding
consciousness of power in self aud de.
pendence to us of our creations Thus
government is the creature, and leans on
its creator; it exists at our bidding, aud
is changed, modified, and endowed to re-
spond to the desideratum of comforting
the greatest good on the greatest number
by the will alone of its creators-the
people, through their delegated servants.
This is Democratic dOctrine-the basic
principles of a republican form of gov
ernment How does the present kingly
powers conferred on or assumed by the
chief servant Of the state correspond to
this comprehensive and plain declaration
of Democratic principlesH
The plutocracy of the nation is in the
saddle, and its servants-the peoples
mssters-are everywhere our flag floats

satraps in legislating and administering

sive benefit Of privileged class.

What Constitutes a COnQueStp

Commenting on the war in South
, Africa the Manchester (Eng) Guardian
says;
We acquired Ireland by the title Of
conquest unqualified by Irish consent,
and accordingly we have now the Ireland

aud as safe possession as any original

unanimously and resentfully Polish than
, ever No power that has swallowed a
piece of Poland has ever really digested

. score of similar cases before her eyes
Germany proceeds, full of hope and com
placency, to take Alsace and Lorraine
for her own use, with the result that she
has been compelled ever since to shape
her foreign and even her home policy
with an anxious eye TO the dangers
brought upon her by that foolish crime.
Finally, our own imperialists come upon
the stage and, with such an indifference
to all the teaching of human history as
could have been excusable in the Garden
of Eden, proceed rapturously to light

consent or acknowledgement of the

the conquest" We challenge the
" Guardian " as well as history to pro-
duce any treaty or compact whereby
Ireland acknowledged its conquest OF
formally surrendered its God given right
of autonomy as a distinct and independent
nation. Nor has Ireland acquesced by
voice or act through any of her represen-
tatives in this so-Called conquest. On
the contrary, for seven centuries she has
protested with voice, pen and sword
against her oppressor, and so long as the
green mounds entom ing the ashes of
martyr and fallen patriot sanctfes her
soil she will assert her Nationality and
struggle to achieve the dignity Of an
independant nation. Her sister Niobe,
brave, unfortunate Poland, whom
Bonaparte betrayed, and Prussian, Aus
trian and Russian dismembered, is ideally
as much a nation as England. While the
ideal lives in the breasts of the descend
ants Of Koscuisko and of Emmett,
neither soldier nor statesman can destroy
the nationality Of the one or the other.

First. Election of Senators by the

private property of corporations and

and the State Legislatures to be re-

"Second. Destruction of Criminal

Third. No Protection for o oppressive
Trusts Organizations powerful enough
to oppress the people are no longer in

the community should belong to the
community.
Fifth. A Graduated Income Tax
Every citizen to contribute to the sup
port of the Government according to
his means, and not according to his
necessities.
. Sixth. Currency Refom-All the

" Seventh. National, State and Mu-

Hearst on Democracy.

Mr. w. r.. Hearst, in his newspaper,
the New York Journal, has formulated
a platform for the Democratic party
which must meet with the hearty ap-
proval of every genuine Democrat. He
wants live issues for dead or defeated
ones, and like all men accustomed to
individual success he is irritated and
discontented at collective defeat. Mr..
Hearst points the way to success for his
party, and as he has demonstrated in
his own career the elemental possession
Of the quantities necessary to achieve
success he is entitled to respectful con-
slderation, especially at the hands OF
those who have been unfortunate
enough to have led the party to success
sive defeats. No Democrat can doubt
Mr.. Hearst's sincerity and that he de-
serves we'll of the Nations Democracy
for his stupendous efforts in behalf OF
the National ticket last fall, all will
agree.
His platform is subjOined with the
The Sunday globe., 1901-05-05

achieved, that the Sunday Globe allies
itself with the incorruptible Democra-
tic press, party and people.
That a fair and comprehensive under
standing may at once he established be-
tween the Sunday Globe and its future
patrons-the general public editor
deems it proper to state that he has had
experience in the profession of journal
ism. This experience has led him al
most to the foot Of the scaflold.
The pen which could not be intimi-
dated by the shadow If the gallows or
immurement in a dungeon and which
no personal consideration of safety or
profit could induce him to prostitute,
will not be easily slenced by the blud-
geon of the ruflian or the more refined
methods of the legal pirate.
In defense Of the principles embraced
in this salutatory and in advocacy Of
the rights of the masses the editor Of
the Sunday Globe earned the hostility
of privileged and domineering patri-
clans, who sought his destruction, but
as Truth crushed to earth will rise
again, so he whose pen it was sought
to stifile, whose life was legally threat
ened and whose liberty was violated
now re-dedicates pen and brain, life and
liberty to the cause of the robbed aud
plundered p ople, and to the only politi-
cal party in which peace, patriotism
and the perpetuity of redeemed, re-
habilitated and free Republic can be
found. w. j. ELLIOTT.

what difference would such a contin-

Would it not be establishing colonies
and a departure from the safe as well as
the traditional policy Of this country?
The acquisition of distant and foreign
countries, their settlement, develop

perimentally dangerous to our own
peace and internal as well as external
policies but, as stated, i'm direct conflict
with the declaratory principles upon
which the free Republic of the United
States was founded and established.
Contiguous territory ana not foreign
possessions, either with the consent or
opposition Of the governed, has been
the allowable and natural policy Of this
country and of free people; under this
policy we have not only grown great
and prosperous as a nation, but MAIN
tanned the respect and the sympathyof

Where are the advantages IN the

The Trades Unionist OF this city
kindly noticed The Sunday Globe
thusly:
ain answer to numerous inquiries /
would state that the management Of
The Sunday Globe, mentioned in this
column last week, as making its bow
to a Washington public on May 5th,
will be in the hands Of William j.
Elliott, veteran publisher Of Column
bus, Ohio, whose success with the Capt.
tai, Of that city, and the Citizen, Of
Cincinnati, is familiar to the news
paper fraternity. In Ohio Mr.. Elliott
and his associates were in hearty accord
with organized labor and it is needless
to say that the Washington publication
will carry the union label"
Our contempory can rely on The
Sunday Globe as faithful ally in adj
vocacy OF the principles of organized
labor TO use homely proverb, "You
can't teach an old dog new tricks, and
