GAGE HUMILIATED.

Secretary Gage has announced
his intention of withdrawing from
President Roosevelt's cabinet. Dis
patches tell of his humiliation on
account of being ignored on various
occasions by the president in mat
tiers that he should have been coun-
seled upon. 1t seems that there is
no tact nor diplomacy in Roosevelt's
makeup. Hence such broad men
as Secretary Gage cannot hold port
folios under him and retain their
own self-respect. With the presi-
dent he wants to be understood
as about the whole cloth. Presi-
dent Mckinley was diplomatic and
rarely gave offense to any one. The
difference between the two men is

Mr.. Brown tells us that as it is near
ing sprino time our farmers should do
something to encourage the orchard
orioles. We don't destroy these birds,
says he, as we do the quail, but we do
not appreciate them sufficiently to en-
courage them. They destroy the in
sects that prey upon the trees. We
should hang cotton strings about the
trees for them to use in making their
nests, as their nature demands some
thing of the kind Ii we would en-
courage these orioles az we should, says
he, our orchards would be bearing fruit
regularly and abundantly. Mr.. Brown
IS exceptionally enthusiastic on the
bird and bee question.

Managers of the Democratic
party in the state will find by wise
and conservative action in the for
nation of committees it will be an
easy matter to reunite the party, but
they will also find it very easy to
widen the breach and make united
action impossible. Abuse will never
recall the men who stepped out of
the party ranks for what they
thought were good and sufficient
reasons, and without their recall
there is not much hope for success
Neither can they be recalled under
the leadership of those who spent
their time in offensive criticism of
the recalcitrants. Such leadership
will only stir up additional animos-
ity and prevent all hope of unity of
action. The leaders must be known
as men of character and worth, as
well as democrats who stand by the
party because of its basic principles
and who are always ready to do
something for it without reward,
and who are never abusive of those
who disagree with them on the non
essentials of the party faith. With
such committee men and with a
carefully and honestly selected
ticket, composed of men of recog-
nized good character, the party can
go forward to victory and be united

The Plymouth Democrat Oh

The Plymouth Democrat objects
to Senator Stephen b. Fleming or
William H. O'Brien being elected
chairman of the democratic state
committee, for the reason that they
are assumed to believe that the free
and unlimited coinage of silver is a
I'D barre ideality." Well, if
the coinage question is still the par
amount issue, then Fleming and
O'Brier ought not to be considered.
If no longer in issue, both are EN-
tirely eligible. Brother Mcdonald,
good hearted, clever fellow that he
is, ought to be trife conciliatory.

otherwise? -South Bend Times.

Monkeys

"All well-all happy-lots
of fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing the
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

ing off two thirds of them
every year and the circus had
to buy new ones.
One day a keeper accident
lllV broke a bottle of Scots
mulsiOn near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
iapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regula! doses and the keepers
eport very few deaths from
consumption. Of course it's
eheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
