"The Flying DEATH"

By Samuel Hopkins Adams, the first
part of which appears in the January
McClure's, is fascinating mystery
tale built on absolutely original lines.
This is saying good deal, for invent
ors of tales of this sort must be pretty
hard put to it today to avoid repetition.
Mr.. Adams has succeeded, and the
cles to his mystery-a commonplace
enough murder on lonely beach with
in hundred miles of New York-leads
with unimpeachable logic straight to a
region as yet undiscovered and unex-
plored even by the most daring purvey-
ors of the uncanny. Whethe the trail
ends here or eventually leads back to
the light of common day will doubtless
be the question with which many read
ers will open the February McClure's

What Democrats Need.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Senator Martin
of Virginia, speaking of the next presi-
dental contest, said he could see no
excuse or justification for declaration
in favor of silver coinage in the demo-
cratic platform that will be constructed
in 19O3 The next platform, he believes,
should deal with live issues and not at
tempt to resurrect differences that have
existed between parties in the past, but
which no longer exist. ~
"The next presidential campaign will
be fought on the issue Of tariffrevision, "
said Senator Martin. Demand for
revision Of tho tariff will be made first,
because the present rates are excessive
and unnecessary, and, second, as
means of curbing the power Of trusts.
Issues between political parties are not
made to suit conditions, but are made
by conditions. Just now tariff is forg-
ing to the front and engaging the pub
lie mind. 1t is the logical issue for the
democratic party.
"The democracy is united in favor Of
revising the tariff. The republicans
are hopelessly divided on the subject.
the country is awakening to realiza-
tion of the fact thai the Dingley rates
are unjust.
"The question of trusts should be
united with that of tariff revision. An
effective cure for the trust evil can be

The January number of Scribner's
Magazine, which marks the beginning
of its 33d volume, contains two of the
notable features of the coming year. It
is seldom that the opportunity is offer
ed to present the brilliant letters of
woman who has filed the highest social
and official positions at the courts of
Europe. The letters Of Madame Wad-
dington, wife of the eminent French
Ambassador, M. William Waddington,
begin in this number, with entertaining
and witty accounts of the English court
in the eighties. MadameWaddington's
observatiosn have the greater value to
American readers because she is an
American, the daughter of president
of Columbia College and the grand
daughter of Rufus King, who was
American minister to England. These
letters were written to her relatives in
this country at the very time in which
the events described were fresh in her
memory. They are therefore spontane-
GUS, natural, and unconventionally
bright. The illustrations are from
portraits and other pictures in Madame
Waddington's collection.

Wise and Witty.

An old, but unfamiliar, anecdote of
John Wise's father, the famous, but
erratic, Governor Henry A. Wise, may
be quoted opportunely. When it was
popularity determined by the whig party
leaders to nominate General Zachary
Taylor, the hero of the Mexican war,
for president, this movement was vehe-
mently opposed by Henry A. Wise. In
a debate with one Of Taylor's advocates,
he said that the general was ignorant
and that Major Bliss, his son-in-law,
wrote his speeches and addresses. The
Taylor man was ready person and 6
wit. He simply retorted that "if ig.
norance was Bliss, it was folly to bt
Wise!"-Augusta Chronicle.

so many ordinary cough remedies made
by druggists and others that are cheap
and good for light colds perhaps, but
for severe coughs, bronchitis, Group

there is difficult expectoration and
