THE WAR IN THE ORIENT

In an engagement at ST Mou Cheng

hard fighting.
Tuesday two severe battles were
fought, simultaneously, with the mer.

the Japanese were successful. The
soldiers suffered fearfully from the
heat.

After all, Port Arthur has not been

The Echo From That Voice Is Always Clear
and Distinct.
As the County Convention is thing
of the past and the nominations made,
1 presume shall be safe in writing a
short article without danger of being
accused by some damphool" of seek
ing an Office. notice that some OF
our party are dissatisfied with the re.
suit of the national convention. and
are even going so far a. to make an
effort to start new party. It strikes
me we have parties enough. Too
much party is what has caused the
defeat of the Democrats for many
years aud its about time we let up on
bubbles. While the platform is not
all we desired, it is the best we could
do. A platform that can be accepted
by w. J. Bryan is good enough for any
Democrat in the United States, Geo.
F. Cotterrell not excepted. "United
we stand, divided we fall" should be
our war cry, and with united De-
mocracy success is sure. The money
question is eliminated, for the present,
by the vast influx OF gold, but through
the persistent efforts Of our peerless
champion the gold standard wasn't
Endorsed in the platform, so it isn't an
issue in the campaign. The principal
issues are tariff, truste. imperialism,
militarism. usurpation of power by ex-
ecutive and courts, extravaganza and
scandals. lent that enough? Is there
Democrat in the United States who
cannot conscientiously cast his vote
against all those issues? On the tariff
issue, the Republicans claim the right
to modify the schedules. As we'll
might the leaders OF band of robbers
claim the right to reform his followers.
Such cheek is seldom found outside
the ranks Of the d. o. p.
Let every man do his duty and
cease quibbling about trihes and the
