Cleveland Is Easily Pleased.

LAS and old-fashioned Democrat and
thorough believer in the time-honored
principles of my party and in the pO-
tency to win the favor of our people
when honestly presented, a survey of
the field after the battle of last Tues
day, cannot fail to afford me the sin
oerest qualification. Passing by the
minor results accomplished, and view
ing the consequences in the largest
sense. the outcome seems to indicate a
long step taken in the direction Of sane
democracy and party unity. With
these fully secured, I believe that all
those who love our party for the sake of
it's principles may look for renewed
party triumphs with such hope and
confidence as has not been justified
during the years of our wandering and
forgetfulness of party integrity"
These words were spoken by eX-Presi-
dent Cleveland, in regard to the Novem-
Der elections. Everybody will be glad
to know that Mr.. Cleveland is feeling so
cheerful, but a careful and impartial
search of the returns does not reveal
any trace of the time-honored princi-
pies of my party honestly presented"
1t is true that in New York the Tammany
grafters won sweeping victory, but it
was a victory based upon the desire for
4 wide-open town. The Democrats who
stood by Mr.. Cleveland We're identified
with the fusion movement, which was
defeated there. However much pleas
ure the New York victory may give the
local Democrats of a certain type, it is
sure to prove an embarrassment rather
than a help to the party at large.
In Maryland the Democratic victory
was won by a much less margin than
last year, and Mr.. German kept the
time-honored principles" of the Demo-
Gratis very much in the background, for
he needed the Bryan votes and had to
have them. In Kentucky the Democrats
had no platform and all the successful
candidates We're men who supported
Bryan in both his campaigns. The chief
Democratic spell-binder was Senator
Blackburn who has never recanted on
the silver question. The election of
Democratic governor in Rhode Island
was wholly a personal and local victory
for that Individual, for Republicans car
ried the Legislature and elected the
other state officials. The more one
analyses the election results. the harder
it is to see how the few scattering VIC
tories which the Democracy won can
bring any joy to Democrats of the Old
school. On the contrary there is much
evidence that 1.-The years of our wander
ing and forgetfulness Of party integ-
rity'' still continue.

Brunswick Record: Those who adj
mire the beautiful shade trees of this
town will be interested to read. on page
two, of this issue, of a meeting of citi-
zens here fifty years ago at which plans
were made for ornamenting this village
by setting out trees in the Mall, in the
School House lot and in front of the
churches. The public spirit shown in
Brunswick half century ago has
proved benefit to the town ever since.
A great many of the magnificent trees
that grace the Mall, and the streets,
and add to the beauty of the town, are
heritage to the present generation.
They should be venerated as memo
rails, and to the young they should
serve as object lessons in civic duty.
The town will always need men of
public spirit, men who will contribute
to tn the Improvement of the town.
Brunswick is we'll supplied with shade
trees, thanks to the citizens of former
years, but opportunities for the exer-
else of unseltish effort in behalf Of the
town will always exist.

PEOPLE WE KNOW.
They Are Augusta People, and What
They Say Is of Local Interest.

When an incident like the following
occurs right here at home, it is bound
to carry weight with our readers. So
many strange occurrences go the
rounds of the press; are published as
facts, people become skeptical. On one
subject skepticism is rapidly disap-
pearing. This is due to the actual ex-
perience of our citizens and their pub
lie utterances regarding them. The
doubter must doubt no more in the
face of such evidence as this. The
public statement of reputable citizen
living right here at home, one whom
you can see every day, leaves no ground
for the skeptic to stand on.

The Names of conaressmen.

| An exchange points with sheer to
| the names of FREDERICK Degetan and j.
X. Kalanianaole, congressional dele
gates respectively from Porto Rico and
Hawaii, and remarks that the Amerl-
caniZation of these islands is not made
very evident by them. In such crlti-
cism it makes at least two mistakes.
First, We believe it means the most
genuine Americanization OF those
islands for their natives to be active in
political matters; and second, odd
names in these days are by no means
evidence that their owners are aliens
or non-American. Proof of this latter
statement is easily found by looking
over the roll of members of the new
Congress. Among the representatives
of the various states are many names
which are as unusual and sound as Pc
culiar as those of the two delegates
mentioned. Surely, Phanor Breazeale
of Louisiana sounds as un-American as
FREDERICK Degetan. The same state sends
also Arsene Pujo, whose name would
never cause him to be taken for down
east Yankee.
But Louisiana has no monopoly of
peculiar names. There are two Moons,
one from Tennessee and one from Penn
sylvania. New Jersey sends a Louden-
slarger, Indiana Zenor, North Caro-
lima Pou, and Wisconsin an Often, an
Esch and Weisse. There are also such
unusual names as Knopf, Snapf, Shook,
Dovener, Weems, Kluttz, Spight, Shul,
and Slemp to be found on the roll, and
many others. Truly, Delegates Degetan
Kalanianaole will have to have more
than their names brought up against
them when their fitness is questioned,
OR else many of their associates are
equally open to attack. The good old
name of Smith, however, leads all the
rest in Congress, with no fewer than
six members bearing it. There are sew
eral names with three representatives,
Cooper, Gardner, Gillet and Patterson
among them, while Jones appears in the
list but twice.

that the alumni of Perdue university
will erect a gymnasium in memory of
the 20 students killed in the recent

the sympathy felt for the parents and

it will be a memorial useful to a future

SAYS HE CREATES LIFE
STARTLING EXPERIMENT OF AN
ALEXANDRIA PHYSICIAN.
Common Salt, Pure Water, Alcohol
and Fumes of Ammonia the Ingre-
dients of the Creation.

ANDERSON, Ind, July A.-With one
ounce of common salt SIX ounces of pure
water, six ounces of 80 per cent. alcohol,
all mixed i'm an ordinary glass dish. and
two ounces of aqua ammonia distributed
in five small plates and all covered by an
air-tight glass tube. DR.. Charles w. Little
field, of Alexandria, Ind, this afternoon
declared that he had created life in the
form of thousands of atoms animated
substances similar to well-developed germs
of life and trilobites.
According to DR.. Littlefield, only ninety
minutes were consumed while salt crys-
tails were impregnated with the hydrogen
and volatile magnetism OF the solution and
transformed into lifelike forces that i'm
mediately sought nourishment through me
diums that Or. Littlefield termed feeders,
lacking any technical name.
Microscopic examination showed that
CRYSTALS not affected by the magnetized
crystals were of hexagonai shape, with
life first appearing in the center and
spreading until the crystal was rounded,
and finally of globular shape A mass of
life substances possessed magnetism of pro-
nounced degree, radiating a power that
would separate the crystals and then draw
them together again. 1t has not been de-
termined what the germs or atoms would
propagate.
DR. Littlefeld says he repeated his ex-
perimentS several times. all with practically
the same successful results.
