The Brooklyn Eagle is rather en-
phatic in its statements. It says:
''Any platform which reviews bimetal-
ism, notification, free riot, mob law
and the administration of an emetlc to
hell, with the elected resultant as con-
crete Democracy, will be overwhelm-
ingly opposed and defeated, no matter
who be nominated. That which organ
lied Democracy IN national affairs
slgnifed in 1896 and in 1900 must be
abandoned by Democracy, or Demo
cracy will be beaten again, no matter
who the nominee may be. 1t need not
be jumped on, it need not be denounc-
ed. But it must not be revived or reit-
Grated or apologized for, or in any
way revitalized." 1t is reasonably
certain that there will be no reiteration
or apology.

THE WEEPING WILLOW.

''Did you know that all the weep

stepson of George Washington at his
place at Abingdon, a few miles from
Mount Vernon?" asked a tree lover
who has just returned from these in
teresting estates. sit was this way;
Young Curtis, as a member of Wash
ington's military family, sometimes
carried messages, under a flag, be-
tween the belligerent commanders.
In this service he became acquainted
with a young British officer, who, like
others, had come over with an impress
sion that the rebellion would be
speedily crushed out, and that he
would then settle on the contiscated
lands of the rebels. He had ever
brought twig from the weeping vii
low near Pope's villa, at Twickenham
carefully wrapped in oiled silk. As
his visions of castle in America fadet
away he gave the twig to John Parkt
Curtis, who, on his return to Abing
don in the spring, planted it near hi
house. It grew and fourished. Jus
how it multiplied may be noted from

HIS UNLucKY DAY.

Possibly some of our readers may
have an unlucky day, but few can
equal the experience of George White,
who for many years has been in the
employment of q leading publishing
firm in London. On April IS, 1875, he
fell over a pole and broke his left arm.
Exactly year afterward he broke his
left leg. On April IA, 1877, he fell from
platform and smashed his wrist, and
was obliged to have an arm amputated.
On April IA, 1883, he escaped, but his
wife had serious accident. On April
IA, 1889, he slipped and broke three
ribs. Then his employers told him to
take that date as holiday. But IN
1891 he dreamed of coming accident
so the manager advised him to come
to work on April IA, and dispel the
superstition, He came and fell down
stairs and broke his remaining arm.-

THE NAVY.

The President is entirely right in
saying the main prop of the nation is 8
strong navy.
The naval strength of Great Britain
has always been the main prop of the
Empire. Behind it has been built III
the marvellous commercial greatness Of
the tight little island. Besides, it has
made for peace between Great Britain
and foreign nations. 1t was the British
navy which saved England from the
legions of Napoleon, and his downfall
is partly attributable to its prowess.
So it will be with the United States.
A strong and resourceful navy, man
ned by brave Yankee tars, will do
more to aid in the development of
American trade and to maintain peace
with other nations than anything that
can be devised. The people should
never begrudge the money that goes
to maintain powerful American navy.
