BRIGHT OUTLOOK F0R DEMOCRATS,

The present session Of Congress
seems to indicate the strength Of the
democratic minority under the leader
ship of Senator Arthur p. German,
and before its ad journment the party
will have developed sufficient issues
to enable the proper leader TO be
chosen at the Presidential election i'll
1904. For sometime past, the dis
satisfaction resulting from he leader
ship of Theodore Roosevelt has be-
come more and more apparent, and
the sagest republican leaders realize
that he is not the fit man to lead their
party to success. Fortunate for US
and unfortunate for them, however,
he seems 10 have seated lDrnsel! so
thoroughly III the saddle that they
will find itimposs;blc to unhorse him.
and from present indications it is al.
most certain that he will be nori-
mated by reclamation.
With this state OF facts the demo-
cratic leaders are in most iuhilant
frame of mind. They feel that he is
the weakest opponent that can pos
sibly be chosen, and if wise councils
prevail, the campaign will he so
shaped by the time the contest opens
that an aggressive fight can he carried
on all along the lines. y number Of
vulnerable breaches are already
visible and shrewd leadership will
develop many more. Never before i'll
the history Of the party mas '@ere
been such unitication OF sentiment; rs
exists at present among the demo
Gratis. For the past eight years es-
pecially, the party has been rent
asunder by internal discussions Of
the two radical wings one under the
leadership of ex-President Grover
Cleveland and the other directed by
Mr.. William Jennings Bryan. Both
of these gentlemen have stated that
they are out of the race and ,>cir
utterances are accepted as being true
and final. This opens the door for
the entry of a conservative man,
under whose leadership, victory ca;I
almost be assured.
Ofcourse, in 4 matter SO great Is l!iis
il is hard to predict what the future
may bring forth. 1t may be wise 10
take an entirely new man rs the
Moses to lead us out of the wilderness
of defeat from which we have been
attempting to extricate ourselves Ior
the past eight years. On the other
hand, it may seem wise that an ex-
perienced hand should guide the party
to success. Should the latter be tie
case, all signs unerringly point to the
nomination of Senator German. 1t
may be said to his credit that he Is
not seeking the nomination, and will
not accept the same unless it comes
freely and voluntarily from every in
terest that is recognized as a moving
factor in democratic strongholds
This is the time when the party should
seek the man and not the man the
party. Others, who have also been
mentioned for the position, seem to
show the same disposition as has
been advanced by Mr.. German ali Of
which augers we'll for the future.
Be it who he may, democratic sue
cess looks brighter and nearer than
at any time since 1892, when Grover
Cleveland was chosen by Il large
electoral and popular plurality.

w EEDS

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young;
when old, sometimes i'm
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear. %
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.

70 RELP TIE E.ARlNERS.

Farmers are complaining about
the scarcity Of labor, and The many
property owncrs in this county have
been almost driven to desperation on
account of being unable to get the
necessary help to plant, cultivate and
harvest their crops. AS time goes
by, the situation becomes more and
more REALISTIC. Much corn is still in
tie shock in this county because no
one can get help to husk and loft it.
The general work is much behind and
the late sowing OF wheat may be 1t
tributed to the same purpose. This
will fall particularly hard upon the
farmers from the fact that the winter
has closed down earlier than usual,
and the planters of this staple say
that much OF the grain has not yet
sprouted, and will lay i'll the ground
until spring, when it will probably
be rotten CT account of the germ
being killed by the cold of winter be-
fore the roots have an opportunity
to get q start III the ground. In our
rural households the condition is no
better. Female help is very scarce
and the different local communities
!are no better. The class of labor
that we now have is largely negro,
which in most cases is thoroughly
unreliable as those who have had
occasion to employ it can feelingIv
testify.
Some weeks ago we outlined a
plan of lettering the condition Of our
community Oh this vitalsubject, and
Govcrnor-elect Warlield has signified
his willingness to consider the matter
Sc: iously should there BIZ sufficient
public demand to warrant the steps
necessary TO be taken. The plan
submitted was similar to the one now
Ill vogue i'll many of the progressive
western States. 1t calls for the es-
Establishment of a local immigration
bureau that would send representa-
tives to foreign countries where good
day laborers could be induced to come
here and settle. They will not make
Il home at any place except where
there is a localcommunity sufficiently
large to give them social relations.
There is hardly 4 section of Hartford
county that would not welcome such
an Importation Of desirable hands,
who would soon be able tc furnish
the necessary indoor and outdoor
help. This cannot be accomplished
unless 4 concerted action is made to
have the necessary legislation enacted
at the coming session. The rural
communities contribute large
amount of money i'll the way oftaxes
and as q rule get very little in return.
We feel sure that there would be no
objection to this movement, SO if we
wish to accomplish any good i'll this
direction, all that would be ncces-
sary would be to make a systematic
start and keep at it.

POST CHECK CURRENCY BILL

The friends of the Post Check Cur
rency Bill are making desperate eff
forts to have the same passed at this
session of Congress. 1t is advocated
by every person, who wishes to make
remittance through the mails, and
will in large measure do away with
the inconvenience of being compelled
to send the odd amounts in silver or
postage stamps. Since the govern
rnent has stopped the issue Of paper
money below the denomination ofone
dollar, small purchasers have been
Inconvenience to a great extent, as
everyone knows. Our people should
do everything in their power to i'm
press our Congressman and Senator's
with the necessity of this bill, the
provisions of which have heretofore
been fully explained through these
columns.
1t is evident that the people Of
Boston, Massachusetts,, do not care
to have the negro i'll politics any more
than do the people of the South, as
the election returns of Tuesday I'M
mistakably show. The republicans
nominated a negro by the name of
Isaac B. Allen for street commissioner,
and he was defeated by over II, 900
more than was the republican cam
didate for mayor. This is another
rebule for the policy inaugurated by
President Roosevelt, in his attitude
to force race equality by appointing
negroes to Office. In every case that
he has tried to bring about this con-
dition, he has been rebuked even by
members of his own party, as was
the case when Dr.. Crum was re ected
by the committee OH executive nomi-
nations of the United States Senate,
Tor deposition ofcollector oftheport
of Charleston. The tendency of
the people is growing more and more
in favor of drawing the proper dis
tinction between the two races, and

on Current Misconceptions in Natural
History giving his views as to what he
believes to be errors of observation, re-
cord, or deduction on the part of con-
temporary writer's on nature subjects. The
echoes of Mr. Burroughs article on a
similar topic which appeared in The At
lantic last spring are still reverberating.
and in this series Mr.. Burroughs will take
up the subject more fully, publishing his
matured opinions as to instinct, the al
legged teaching of young animals by their
parents, the play of animals, and kindred

A magazine article which is sure to
arouse discussion more than usually
prolonged and animated is Lyman Alb
bolts why Women do not wish the
Suffrage in the September number of
the Atlantic Monthly. The eminence OF
the author attaches peculiar interest to
this vigorous discussion of vexed
question. Whatever the correctness of Dr.
Abbott's assumption that the vast ma
jority of American women do not wish to
vote, the reader of this paper is very
likely to be convinced that they ought
not to wish to vote. What are we in
the world for?" asks DR.. Abbott, and
continues: THE family answers the ques-
tion.'
The end of the whole paper is to prove,
in DR.. Abbott's opinion, that the chief
affair of women is what he calls 1.-THE di-
rect ministry to life. Whether or not
the uneasy sex" may be convinced by
it, it is a paper which many will wish to
read and debate.
