The attitude of the democratic party is no.
toriously and discouragingly negative and
its method hypercriticai. It appears to be
a settled policy to attack anything what
ever. good or bad. which the republicans
may propose, and to divert the whole course
of public business to the one purpose to
make campaign capital. and to general
cagerness to make Of the public business
merely a matter Of party politics.

msde q large sum out Of sales Of a
simple little flower which he sold un.

became the rage of the season. 1t was
one Of those freaks Of fashion for which
there is no accounting. At length q

know where the nurseryman got the
name from. He elected the following
reply: 81 found this flower in the road
beside us, so christened it the Rhodum

HONDURAS WAR
Pacific Coast Squadron Is Ordered
There.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Acting upon advi-
ces that a revolutionary movement was in
progress in Honduras, the navy depart
ment has ordered the entire Pacific coast
naval force to the waters of that country.
While it is obvious to the department
that such a large division would not be
needed to protect American interests, it
was regarded as desirable to keep the
squadron as a, unit on account of the ad-
vantage that would be afforded for squad
ron drills and other combined exercises
during it's cruise. to Honduras and it's stay
there.
The information upon which the navy
department acted came to the state de-
partment yesterday. 1t was that civil war
was in progress in Honduras over the refu-
sal of President Sierra to surrender his
office to Manuel Bonillar who was elected
to succeed him.

of Dr. Westcott, county physician of

made to him by Engineer James Davis on
the afternoon of the disaster. Davis was
in charge of the Reading express, which

Davis stated that his engine had a leaking

from it prevented him from seeing the
tower signals. He did not see the train
ahead until within sixty feet of it.

steam was not sufficient to obstruct the
