innate enough to get into just the right
environment to suit their active and
materialistic temperaments.
Round nails, not too large, indicate
gentle, affectionate, though some
times administrative disposition,
with liberal sentiments and love Of
learning.
Very long and narrow nails denote
ambition. and a nervous, quarrelsome
temper that flares up. and is soon sub
dued again. Friendship may be very
loyal with these people, for they are
generous and anxious to do good turns
to those they like, though the course OF
such attachments will not be always
on account of the aforesaid
and tendency to
jealousy.
Nails that are too small for the fin

THIS Congress will develop whether
or not we have a national Democratic
organization. SO-called Eastern Demo-
Gratis propose, in spite OF the Kansas
City Platform, TO vote for the bill to
redeem silver dollars 10 gold. Other
gentlemen who assume the title OF
Democrat propose to vote for the re-
tention of the protective tariff, while
others favor the policy Of expansion.
1t is claimed that gentlemen who are
credited to the Democratic party pro.
pose to vote to abolish the tax on
sugar refining, while others favor the
adjustment of the tax on refining coal
oil, notwithstanding the Standard Oil
Company and the Sugar Trust are the
two great trust vampires of this coun
try. If platforms bind no one, why
should there be a national convention
or any platform at any convention
II conventions are merely aggregations
OF gentlemen who are out and want to
get in, or OF gentlemen who are in and
want to stay there, what occasion is
there for a man who has no pecuniary
interest in politics to go to an electionp
II the Democratic party is to abandon
every principle it has professed for the
last ten years, it will be an insult to
an old fashioned Democrat to ask him
to attend the next election. IfNever
there was a time when the ablest and
purest men in the party should be
sought, and have leadership thrust
upon them, that time is now. Nine
tenths of the thinking men of the party
those who have fought in the ranks
are not sure there is anything left
to fight for. 1t is useless to approach
these men with the plea that the party
will lose a United States Senator from
this State if we do not get together.
Get together for whatp Suppose we
do get together upon some proposition,
how long will we stay togetherP The
people demand TO know the candidate
before they will take any interest in
the Senatorial question. II his selec-
ton is to be q matter of trade and
traffic in the State Legislature; if there
is any chance left open for the selec-
ton of a corporation parasite to fill
the sea now occupied by Senator Vest,
plain everyday Democrats will lose
interest in the fght-they will forget
election day. The Chicago and Kan
sas City platforms are the only means
of getting together. If men cannot
get together upon the last national
platform they can never get together.
The men who cannot stand squarely
upon that platform, must leave the
party, or the men who do stand upon
it will leave it. This is what it comes
to at last, and it is folly not to recog,
nize the fact now and act upon it.
