DEATH NOT FEARED.

Among the many statements of the
progress and development of the CEN
fury which has just passed away
none have struck us more than that
concerning the fear of death. It is
said that the old time terror and dread
of death has passed away to large ex-
tent. This seems to be true.
We still cling tenaciously to life,
but we would not live always" Such
a toast as ''May you live to see the
twenty first century dawn would not
be liked now. Yet two or three cen
turtles ago Ponce de Leon and others
were vainly seeking the fountain OF
perpetual youth.
Nowadays a man, or woman wear
led with the toll and strife of life is
more content with the allotted three
score and ten, and many pray for death
before that time. Through the Chris
tan religion many become perfectly
resigned to the dread monster, having
so firm faith in the life of immortal
ity in the blessed hereafter. Certain.

in the centuries gone by.-Rome Tri

A DIVIDEND IN HIS MILEAGE

Under the law every member of con-
gress is entitle to twenty cents mile
for the distance from his home to Wash
ington by the most direct route, and
the delegate from Hawaii, Mr.. Robert
FL. Wilcox, has just broken the congress
s1onal mileage record. The distance
from Honolulu to Washington is 5000
miles, and Mr.. Wilcox received 81, 900
from the sergeant at arms of the house.
AS the fare is only 5000, and as rail
roads in the United States do not usual
ly leave congressman under the neces-
sity of paying their fare, it is likely
that the mileage received by Mr.. Will
COX amounts to a snug dividend on the
amount he paid out for transportation

RUSH FOR ARMY COMMISSIONS.

A flood of applications for commits
slons in the proposed regular army are
pouring into the war department in adj
vance of the passage by the Senate of
the army reorganization bill. Although
these applications come exclusively
from men now in the volunteer service
they furnish very fair idea of the
pressure which would have been
brought to bear upon the appointing
power If all classes of place-hunters
were eligible to shoulder straps, accord
ing to the original design of the Re-
publican members of the House Com
mittee on Military Affairs.
Those IN charge of the bill IN Con-
gress must regret exceedingly the tor
rent of applications sent into the War
Department by the volunteers, for the
rush for commissions serves to expose
the scheme of military expansion IN its
true light as political game TO main
tain party ascendency and to pay off
onitial obligations at the expense of the
public. The country does not need a
large army, but the Mckinley admin
istration needs more patronage and
staff positions are luscious plums for
the sons of rich men who contributed
quite literally to Mark Hanns's cam
paign fund.

COLDS

The quickest relief, for a
cold, is by SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil.
We all have colds you can
try it and see. : You will find
the edge taken off in a night;
and, in three or four days,
you'll be wondering whether
that cold amounted to any
thing anyhow.
That's relief. If you tackle
it quick, the relief is quick and
complete, if you wait till the
cold is in full possession of
head and lung, why, of course,
the relief is quick if it comes in
a week.
A little emulsion won't clear

Mr.. Alfred Harmsworth's idea of
journalism seems to be "news," and
little or nothing else. This would, to
be sure, avoid the slush of yellow jour
nalism, but it would dam up that little
overflow of human nature which, when
well regulated, gives news a charm and
increases gayety. The art of the
modern reporter of the first class
is often rough, but it is often
high. We can't think that it is all in
vain.

JUDGMENT
Jefferson Dramatic Club
Asks Critics
To Reserve 1t Until After Their
Production.

TO the Editor of the Democrat:
In the dramatic news column of a
recent issue of the Democrat, Chas.
Mcdonald gives. the date of the ,Jef-
ferson Dramatic clubs performance,
May ~. Now If "our Charlie would
read the papers more carefully, he
would avoid making such unnecessary
blunders, for the correct date was
given in last Saturdays issue of the
Democrat al would also beg to inform
Charlie that ] am not the organizer of
the club. Its officers are: President,
Miss G. NJ Norris; acting manager,
Sam Woods; secretary and treasurer
Chas. Reid.
That poor OLD Uncle Toms Cabin
has had its trials and tribulations, is
certainly true, yet would il not be
better for Charley to reserve his ludg

Stoves work should be given Il high

than 1t now holds. How much Uncle
Toms Cabin has been murdered,
Charley certainly ought to know. for
he has helped in the killing. and again
Charley must remember that the sue
cess of play nowadays does not
necessarily depend upon startling and
blood-curdlmg clhmaNes, and terrible

the days when Charley was nm ac-

nor even the only and original Marks

proud of their Dramatic club. and we
think they will not censure lis for
not "tackllng'' Richard III or Lady of
Lyons. but rest satisfied that our first
mirc an American classic instead of
effort has been TO lift out of the

Missing Trunk.
Audience Disappointed Because
of His Absence.

Despite the thunder storm n fair
sized Audience was present at the con-

evening, for the benefit of the new

tainly deserves great credit for the
good work she has accomplished for

ance of the patrons and patronesses
of the concert.

principal attraction of the evening

His trunk containing his clothes and
music did not arrive through some
error or neglect on the part of the
railroad company. The rest OF the
excellent program was carried out and
was greatly enjoyed.
Mr.. Shonert is II pianist of pro-
nounced ability and his two numbers
and encores were much appreciated.
Miss crease has a very sweet, clear
voice; bird-like in its quality, and the
Theme and Variations by Proch that
she sang in the first part of the pro-
gram, truly emphasized this quality.
At times in the tlills and runs of the
different variations it seemed the
tones of u swect-volced thrush were
heard.

pleasure of listening TO IL number of

speech, and made the sad announce
ment that Mr.. CANDLES trunk had
not shown up; that that gentleman
was then at the depot trying to get

before the close Of the concert. the
audience would be compelled to forego
the pleasure of heaflng him. The rest
