The same Old Tactics.

Evidently the word has gone out
from Esopus and democratic head.
quarters to ignore the money
question entirely, the thrill qucs-
ton and other great issues OF the
campaign and devote the entire
energies Of spcllbinde.s and edi-
torial writer's to pounding Roose-
welt. This Is not the first time by
any means that such tactics have
been rcsorted to. II will be inter-
csting aud instructive to go back
to the campaign OF 1854 when the
war and Lincoln were called
failures. Let Us quote n plank
from the democratic platform OF
that year which reads ms follows;
"Rcsolycd, That this
ton does explicitly declare, M the
sense of the American people,
that after four years of failure TO
restore the Union by the cxpcr-
imcnt of war, during which under
the prctcnsc Of military neccs-
sity, or wal power higher than the
constitution, the constitution Itself
ha. been di-rcgardcd In every part
aud public liberty and private
right alike trodden down, and the
material prosperity OF the country
essentially impaired, justice, hui
minity, liberty aud the public
welfare demanded that immediate
c0orts be made for n cessation Of
hostilitics, &C."
Even Mcclellan, the democratic
nominee for president, could not
stand this and absolutely rcpu-
dated the platform OF his own
party. The triumphal reelection
OF Lincoln OF course followed.
Coming down to 1872 we lad
again the same condition of affairs.
Grant was called IA tyrant, "a ear.
an emperor, n king aud the plat
form OF that year contained the
following plank;
"Thc president OF the United
States has openly used the powers
and opportunities Of his high Office
for the promotion of pcrson,icnds.
lie has kept VIGOROUSLY corrupt
and unworthy men in places OF
power and responsibility To the
dctriment Of the public interest.
He has used the public service of
the n "A mughingry nf
corruption and personal Influence,
aud has intcrfcrrcd with tyrannical
arrogance In the political all airs OF
state and municipalities"
but again such tactics failed aud
the republican party rcapcd an
overwhelming victory with the
recollection of Grant.
1t happens that this same con =
stitution which the Democrat c
party Processes to love so well has
provisions for the Impeachment OF
n president who does not obey the
laws and who exceeds his prrroga-
tiycs. That would seem to be the
better course instead OF simply
dcnounclng In general terms n
president who has simply done his
duty where his duty has been
made plain To him, without fear OF
consequences and without fear OF
defeat At the polls.

white Marble for soldiers,

The United States government
has provided million markers for
the graves OF soldiers who have
served in It's wars or have at any
time been regularly enlisted in its
service. From two marble quar-
ries all these have been taken, one
located at Lee, Mass, and n in
Rutland. VI. Each has furnished
4 million headslones during the
last thirty years.
The soldiers headslones when
finished are 3 feet, 3 inches less. /;
foot wide, 4 inches thick and weigh
800 pounds. Just under the round.
ed top Is outlined an inland shield
within this is cut the name, age,
company, rank and regiment Of the
soldier Tor whose grave 1t is in
tended. All OF the work, from the
rough marble in the quarry to the
lettering and Grating Of the stone is
done at Lee.
Application blanks for headsIones
are sent out from the quartermas-
ter generals office. Any deceased
soldier, sailor, marine, scout or
nurse who has served under regular
enlistment may have his last resting
place muked by the government ON
request of relative, Grand army
post, or private citizen, who can es-
,ablish the name and service OF the
dead.
A block Of marble three by three
feet is the average size used for
beadslonss. II is run into the mill

on a short truck and fastened under
a gang of saws which slowly de-
scend with a swinging motion and
cut through. Then the block is
rolled out, chained together, turned
ove and len through the same pro-
cess again. The Jaws r simple
bands of iron an eighth of an inch
thick and the cutting is done by sand
which is we'll wet and is kept drip
ping on the work.
The next process is coping or
rounding one end of the marker and
smoothing ii by grinding with sand
and water on a big revolving iron
table rsxI4 feet in diameter. Then
it is ready for the lettering.
A government Inspector examines
every headstone and throws out any
that have flaws, discolorations or
are wrongly lettered.-Boston

The Rich Hill tribune. (Rich Hill, Mo.) 1903-1911, 1904-11-10

There are men now living who
recall the time when it took weeks
for the news OF the result of a ma
tlonal election 10 penetrate the coun-
try. For political purposes the
mechanism of the Nineteenth and
Twentieth centuries has made the
United States a smaller country than
the republican leagues of Greece.
1t is to be noted, in passing, that
the device of the electoral machin-
cry aids in the promptness with
which the result is known. Were
the President elected by popular
vote it might take several days to
get the approximate plurality from
each of the forty-fve states. Under
the existing system it is unnecessary
to wait to learn whether Texas is
10000 or $4,000. Only on rare
occasions, as in 1876 and 1884 is
the outcome likely to be in doubt
over night.-K. c. Star.
