FIRING year hence the

paign will be in full
swing and already various candidates
for the Democratic nomination have
been suggested 1t is evident to all
thinking Democrats that the silver is
sue is practically dead, and that the
Democratic party is now in positian
to revert TO the old-timc principles and
ideals
The wanderings of the past few
years from the time-honorel principles
of Democracy have caused certain
amount of decentralization in the Dem
ocratic camp, but when we consider
that even with 100000 gold Demo

a half of being elected, it will be read
lily conceded that very little damage
has been done to the party as a whole
by reason of its alterations during the
last tWo terms.
However, as ex-President Cleveland
puts it. recriminatien now is worse
than useless and the political deside
ratUm is for all Democrats to get to-
gether and present a solid front 20 the
common enemy If once more the
great Democratic party is led by the
old lee uers under the old banners
the members of this party will return
with renewed enthusiasm to battle
fer the old principles which bore
them to victory under the leadership
Of GlaVer Cleveland.
The fact that the Democrats must
carry the state of New York in order
to elect their candidate for president
in 1903 serves to give that state great
er prominence in tie councils of the
party than any section Of the union
with in equal electoral vote. And it is
generally conceded that if the Demo
cratic candidate does not come from
New York he must at least be accept
able to the Democrats OF thai state.
Briefly stated, the Democratic nomi-
nee must believe in the essentials of
the political philosophy of Thomas
jefferson and Samuel J. Tilden that a
true government rests on the consent
of the governed: that the government
is best that governs least: that the
law should aim to establish equal and
exact justice for all; that there should
be no special privileges or favored
classes: that il is not the function of

While il should insist that gold is the
best standard for measuring values,
it should not hold that our present
banking and currency system is an
ideal one, but, on the contrary, that
it should be radically amended, SO as
to furnish the business interests OF
the country. of which interests the
agricultural industries are of greatest
importance. with an abundant supply of
safe. sound and elastic currency. 1t
should be formulated with full realiz-
alton that the farmers of the country
have an undoubted grievance in the
present financial conditions, which
make practically no provision for adj
ditional supplies of currency at the
seasons of the year when the crops
are to be marketed. and should favor
such national legislation as may be
necessary to remedy this state of al
fairs.
The chief issue in the next national
contest will undoubtedly be t!at of
remedies for the evils of what are
known as trusts" the great combine
tons of capital which control the in
Of the country. As an enemy OF every
form of monopoly. the platform should
favor the removal of the protection
given by law to the trusts, whereby
they are enabled to Cypress the peO
pie through higher prices OF by unfair
discriminate II should set fol1h the
fact that it is not the large amount of
capital represented in trust that
gives it the power to rob the coasum
ing public but the special conditions
which prevent full and fair COMPETE
zion. It should favor the repeal Of the
class legislation to which practically
all the injurious trusts are indebted
for their ability to pay dividends on q
capitalization vastly greater than their
real value It should favor a geua- Al
policy of abolishing all laws Interior

ton.
In word, the platform should stand
lesolutely for the true Democratic
idea of curing the evils OF foolish and
unjust laws, not by some half-baked
socialistic schemes Of federation con-
troll or regulation of great industries,
but by the simple and sovereign meth

Peoria, ILL.,, has revived the curfew,
and on August 18th the bell rang out
at 8 o'clock for the first time in forty
years. The purpose of the bell is to
frighten children into the house. A
New Jersey woman, in a town where
the curfew was established, resented
the interference with the liberty of
her children, and demanded of the
authorities to know why the young
ones were driven off the street. She
was told that it was for their protec-
ton against loafers who might be
abroad after dark; but not satisfied
with that she inquired why, then, the
police did not take in the loafers. She
got no reply, but concluded, after hav-
ing thought awhile, that it was be-
cause the loafers each had vote.

Crosby and Ostrander of Olympia, in
Dayton, w. T. A few years ago Frank
was publishing the Epigrans, a sort OF
" sassiety" journal in Walla Walla.
The plant was burned, I believe. The

Sovereign Noted for Standing of Creditors
Burns Money for Sslf.Protsction.
Sleep that costs 5000 night, seems
pretty expensive, but that is what the
Sultan of Turkey is now paying for
the privilege Of more or less tranquil
repose. The money is received by the
members of the special military staff
which guards Abdul Hamid's bed.
room. and which consists OF two gen.
erals, colonel, q major, captain and
several soldiers. For their. nights
work each of the two generals gets so
Turkish pounds, or abont $235; the
colonel 40, the major IS, the captain
80, and each soldier one, the entire
amount aggregating slightly over $500
in American money. The officers and
men get their fee every morning i'm.
mediately after they have been re.
lieved, and don't have to wait for it,
like some pretty big nations to whom
Abdul Hamid owes money.
This expensive night guard Of the
Sultau's has been maintained by him
only since the recent assassination OF
the royal couple of Servia. OF course
the timorous ruler Of Turkey always
has been particularly well guarded at
night. but the murders of Belgrade
scared Abdul Hamid almost out of his
wits, and he Immediately determined
that he would surround his bed cham
Der with the most vigilant men who
could BE- secured, and make il to their
interest to protect him. The com.
mand of the special night guard is en-.
trusted to eight OF the Sultan's most
trusted generals, two Of whom are on
duty every night. Owing chiefly to
this and other precautions that the
ruler has adopted recently, it is esti.
mated that the monthly expense OF run
ming Yildez Kiosk is over $4,000.

Its Value as a Beverage and How It Nay Be

Man is by nature thirsty animal,
but most physicians nowadays are Of
the opinion that the average person
drinks far too little for his own good.
Nature has arranged, they say, that
the amount required to restore bodily
waste is 81 pints in "a hours. This,

ace to health. Not only does the TAX
ing of half.pint or more of ice water
at 30 degrees into the stomach, whose
normal temperature is 102 Fahrenheit,
threaten chills or congestion, but the
ice itself is frequently infected. Freez-
ing does not destroy germs, as boiling
does, and much of the natural ice used
is open to the suspicion of having
been gathered from waters contami-
mated by sewage or drainage from
farms or even worse. With artificial
lee this objection does not hold, says
the New York Herald.
While filtering will remove solid i'm
purities, boiling is required to dissi.
pate poisonous conditions. When this
is impossible, as in summer journeys
or in country hotels or boarding
houses, the same results may be OBJ
tained, according to Mrs. Ellen S.
Richards, of the domestic science de-
partment of the Boston Institute Of
Technology, by small quantities of
pomanganate of potash added to the

Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing against you to fall down flat,
But to lie there-that's s disgrace.
