HILL-JEFFERSONIAN REVIVAL.

Let the platform of the Democracy,
says Hon. David Bennett Hill, be
Thomas Jefferson" How it would
work.
First, as to expansion. Our con
federacy,n said Jefferson in 1886,
must be viewed as the nest from
which all America, North and South
is to be peopled. We should take
care, too, not to think it for the in
terest of that great continent to press
too soon on the Spaniards. Those
countries could not be in better
hands. My fear is that they are too
feeble to hold them till our popula-
ton can be sufficiently advanced to
gain it from them piece by piece"
And again in 1906, in his second in
augural address, he asked "Who
can limit the extent to which the fed
erative principle may operate effec-
lively? The larger an association, the
less it will be shaken by local pas
sions.''
AS to subsidies and bounties:
Among the purposes to which the
Constitution permits Congress to ap-
ply money" Jefferson wrote in 1909,
1.-The granting of premiums or boun-
ties is not enumerated. l have in
two or three messages to Congress
recommended an amendment to the
Constitution which shall extend their
power to these objects"
And again in 1888 81 should be

Letter to r. A. Thayer.

Dear Sir: The late president of the
Croton River Bank, at Brewisters, n.
Y, built the finest house in all that
region, in 1884, and painted it with
lead and oil at cost of $400-the
house cost $31, 200.
In 1SS7-three years-he reprinted
it with Deyoe at a cost of $3.50. In
1897 this paint was in good condition.
Lead and oil, $4OO, three years. De
voc $3.50, ten years.
Yours truly,

metropolitan Pleasure for Every body.
Nearly everybody living in this community
will doubtless want to visit Cumberland on
saturday May 3, when the Adam Forepaugh
and Sells Brothers great consolidated shows,
comprising.double circus, double menager-
les, double museums, double hippodromes,
will.appear there. These great shows are
the only ones that exhibited in New York
city. No others dare even attempt to e1-
hibit in the metropolis. They opened this
season at the Madison Square Garden in
New York, and the newspapers, without ex-
ceptiOn, stated that it was the greatest cir
Gus this country had ever seen. The menag-
eries.contain the greatest number Of rare
wild beasts ever seen in one collection, In
the circus there are 800 star performers, and
in addition to all the standard circus acts
there are score or more of sensational fea-
lures There is not space to enumerate
them here, but there is no possibility of any
one being disappointed who goes to see these
shows, no matter how high their anticipa-
tionS may have been raised. All lines of
travel will offer especially low rates OF fare
and provide all the necessary accommoda-
ton for the throngS who wish to go to see
them. The agent of these lines OF travel will
furnish all necessary information as to time
of trains and rates of fare. There is one
thing certain, and that is that these excur-
sion arrangements will enable people who
live here to see identically the same show
and the only one that is seen by those who
live in the metropolis.

AMID the comforts of his barn Mr..
Bryan cannot forget the nefarious
plans of the reorganizers, that is, all
the Democrats who are not content
to stand by the Kansas City platform.
Against them he directs the COM
mOner every week.
He reproaches the reorganizers with
their unwillingness to fight an honest
and open battle. He says that "if
they can secure control of conven-
ton they will adopt platform that
is ambiguous and uncertain, with the
hope of deceiving the voters He
thinks himself that he cannot be
candidate again. In a letter recently
PUBLISHED in Chattanooga he speaks
of the fact that he is editing paper
and exposing the reOrganizers' as
proof that he is not now seeking
office. 1t seems to be clear to him
that some other man must be the
Democratic candidate, but he still is
sues orders, as he has right to do,
to the friends of the Kansas City plat
form. He bids them Introduce into
every precinct, convention or primary
a resolution indorsing the Kansas
City platform and instructiug dele
gates to vote for the adoption of the
resolution in the convention to which
they go"
This is either sublime devotion to
principle or butting of the head
against stone wall Mr.. Bryan's
one hope is the Kansas City platform.
The one present idea of most other
Democrats is to win in 1904 if there is
any way of doing it. One issue is as
good or as bad as another They
have no impertinent preferences, and
wait for something to turn up. Vague
ness is no objection in their eyes, but
a recommendation They want some
thing smooth and harmonious, some
thing that means anything and moth
ing, whatever will serve. They want
union and success. Mr.. Bryan wants
the Kansas City platform.

ELECTRIC LINE FOR SHANGHAI.

American capital will build. equip and op-

It has been learned that prominent bank
ing-houses in this city interested In local
traction companies were preparing to in
wade Shanghai That city asked for propo-
sitions to build and operate a twenty-three-
mile railroad there. The Shanghai officials
stipulated that propositions must be made
before March of this year.
American electric companies Immediately
began to consider the proposition. but be-
cause they were adverse to operating in
addition to constructing and equipping the
plan was conceived to form a separate
company. This firm does business in
China. and one of its members lives in
Shanghai. He already has been ap-
pointed Chinese agent for the International
Banking Corporation. A London company
probably will compete for the contract.

GIRL IN HER TEENS.
Loose. Weli-Made Clothing Essential

Girls at the age which Longfelow poet
ically describes as standing where the
brook and river meet" are more difficult to
dress than the tiny sisters. for their long
limbs and unexpected outlines are .iiscon-
certing and often their own whims demand
an approach to grown-up attire in prefer
ence to childish looseness. But it ought to
be firmly impressed on them that at that
growing time 1t is even more needful for
their own healthy and beautiful develop
ment to avoid any compression of the figure
than 1t is earlier-and far more important
than 1t will be in a few years time. The
notion of its being necessary to help to
form the figure by stays firmly drawn in
