DEMooRATs GETTING TOGETHER

DEMOCRATS GETTING TOGETHER.
The impression made by the speech
of ex-senator David B. HILL at the
meeting of prominent Democrats at
the Democratic Club in New York city
on last Monday night, was that Demo
Gratis were gradually getting together.
and that there would be no differences
which they could not satisfactorily adj
just at their national convention in
1904. Among other things, he said 1--WE
are all united upon essentials
1t would be a gratifying condition of
affairs if the members of the party
were united upon essentials. There is
20 doubt better feeling in the party
than there was a year ago. and there
appears to be ground for saying that
the outlook for getting together is
steadily improving. Among the lead
ers. however, there is still marked
difference of opinion upon certain
things which come under the head of
essentials.
Mr.. Bryan. for instance, loses no OPP
portunity of insisting that the silver
4dNStAOu HluSl DC hSpl al Inc 'front.' anu
that the silver declaration, which the
party made in it's last national platform,
must have place in the next national
platform. And there is ground for
thinking that he has very eonsidera-
bic following that takes the same posi-
ton. 1t is certain that the sentiment
among the Democrats of the East
against silver is more general than it
was in the last presidential contest.
However the silver question may not
be in the way of harmony when the
time comes for making platform dec
larations.
1t is interesting to note that Mayor
Tom Johnson of Cleveland, O., takes
exception to what Mr.. Hill said in his
speech relative to the method that
should be adopted for dealing with cor
porations. Mr.. Hill said that both their
capital and their dividends should be
limited. Mr.. Johnson seems to think
that the method suggested by Mr.. Hill
is not practical one. In fact, he takes
occasion to ridicult it. Mr. johnson is
rot very practical man himself, and.
BESIDES, the presidential bee is troub-
ling him so greatly that he is inclined
to give expression to views that will
attract attention rather than to those
which will command the approval OF
thoughtful people.

A certain Scottish minister in West
Highland parish has never yet been
known to permit stranger to occupy
his pulpit, says the New York Tribune.
Lately, however, an Edinburgh divin-
ity student was spending a few days
in the parish. and on the Saturday he
called at the manse and asked the
minister to be allowed to preach the
following day, my dear young man."
said the minister, laying hand gently
on the young mans shoulder, "gin /
lat We preach the morn, and We gle a
better sermon than me, my fowk wad
never again be satisfied wi my preach
ing; and gin ye're nae a better preach

TWO PLANTS WHICH PROMISE
WEALTH

Secretary Wilson has been talking
about his Southern trip since his re-
turn to Washington from the Bruns-
wick convention. The inference from
what he says is that there is a splendid
future for this section of the South
provided the people utilize their advan-
tages to the best of their ability.
He calls attention to the fact that
the timber lands of South Georgia. and
Florida are being rapidly cleared, and
that before many years lumber and
naval stores, at present two great
sources of wealth, will cease to afford
much of a revenue. The people, he
says, are looking about for something
to take their places. Their purpose is
to utilize the lands as the timber is re-
moved This, they believe, they can
do to great advantage and profit by
planting cassava and the velvet bean.
Together they make a most excellent
food for cattle. Indeed, according to
Secretary Wilson, there is no reason
why South Georgia and Florida should
not become a great cattle raising sec
hASAA- nc NSANSI DeSn enI1cHeS the SOIL
besides making an excellent food for
cattle. 1t gathers nitrogen from the
air and stores it in itself and the soil.
Cassava is in some respects better
than corn for fattening stock, and it
can be produced at much less cost.
If the farmers of the southern sec
ton of this state and Florida could be
| impressed as Secretary Wilson is with
their advantages it would not be many
years before they would be raising
enough cattle to supply the demand
of the entire South for meat. Instead
of plodding along from year to year.
making just enough to maintain their
families, they would be getting rich.
! 1t is true that only few of them
have sufficient money to begin raising
| cattle with the aid of cassava and the
velvet bean, but they must be content
to start in a very modest way. They
must learn all about cassava and the
| velvet bean, and also inform them
selves in regard to the raising of cat
tie. Unless they go about the matter
intelligently they will be disappointed
| just as those who undertook to grow
peaches without knowing how to care
for the trees or how to market their
fruit, were disappointed. But notice
what a success those who handle the
peach intelligently are making of their
peach orchardsl

A well digger in Kansas town re-
Gently turned up queer bone. One
of the local newspapers said it was I'M
doubtedly a dinornis fossil. The other
local paper Immediately declared the
first to be several sorts of an ass, not
to know the bone was pterodactyl.

paper quarrel that has exhausted about
all the Latin of the editors engaged
and may yet lead to hloodshed. Mean
while the bone of contention is believed

From the New York Press

1t isn't what people don't say, but
what they do say, that is always the
mistake.
Whether an evening gown is fashion
able depends on how much neck and
sleeves it hasn't got.
To Judge by Widows expression of
innocence you would think she had
never seen a man before.
Blessed is the peacemaker, but more
blessed the woman who keeps the
peace by holding her tongue.
The girl with black eyes and blonde
hair can be accounted for; it is the
girl with black hair and blonde eyes
that puzzles one.
When there is no hesitation about
calling what carries man his legs
why should there be any in calling
what carries a woman the same thing?
A woman's idea of being economical
about clothes is to buy a dress for 500
and when she finds she doesn't like it
sell IL for $50 and buy another for $3.50.
To save her life you can't make her see
that the second one, counting what she
got for the other one, cost her any
more than the first.

where the Apostles Were.

to remark that the architecture of the
city could IN no way compare with
that of some of our American cities.
The Irishman said nothing at the
time. but we soon came to a large
building, which he informed me was
the postoffice. Pointing to three stat
ues in front of the building. l asked
him who they represented.
They are the three disciples, Peter,

interested parties, but how about the

says contemporary, lis not as bad
as child idleness." 1t has reference to
the children who are permitted to run
at will in the streets, to loaf around
corners at night, to gather in gangs in
vacant lots and smoke cigarettes, play
craps and become initiated into the
various vices. Child idleness is no
doubt responsible for a far greater
number of ills and evils than can be
traced to child labor, as undesirable as
that is.

given that still another increase might
be expected. The trust firms are now
saying that if the agitation continues
it will result in lower prices for cattle
and hogs on the hoof, but they are say
