The country needs the Democratic
party and it needs all OF it, and all OF
the patriotic and conservative forces
that have co-operated with it. Never,
perhaps, has there been time when
united action was more necessary than
now. Democrats do not disagree as to
essentials. They do not disagree as
to the broad principles for which the
party has stood for more than a CEN
tury. They de not disagree as to any
of the things that are not important
Matters that may lie denominated as
personal must, in the interest OF party
success, be disregarded. The democ-
ratio party is just the democratic
party. 1t is not composed OF one
man or two men or three men, how
ever conspicuous or prominent or use
full they may have been or are now.
We DO not feel that the little disagree
ments between men who have been
leaders of the party forces should be
considered seriously by tbe delegates
who shall be elected to take part IN
the July convention. There is not one
of these men who does not want to
see his party successful. This is the
year Ioo4-the year in which to for
get and to forgive. Let us have peace
Honorable peace, beneficial peace.
There should be patience, forbearance
and compromising disposition. The
rank and file have a right to demand
this. and they 90 demand it. By the
use OF the words compromising dispo-
sition we do not mean the abandon
nent of any party princiole, but there
is difference between principle and
a declaration. All parties have declared
thus and so upon matters of passing
importance and will continue TO do so
but that fact creates nc obligation
binding upon subsequent conven-
tons unless the subject declared upon
j, still vital. And the question as to
what is vital must be lett to the dele
gates elected by the democratice vot-
ers throughout the country, The
party must abide by their action
That it will be wise and conservative
AID consistent with Democratic prin,
c. is there can be no doubt.

Tt seems that there is an ordinance
upon our city law book that forolds tue
posting of signs and advertising mat
ter upon the telephone snd electric
light poles alo ng The streets and yet
that law is disregarded every day ana
it is no doubt many times before the
ewes of the officers of the corporation
while they thoughtlessly overlook H.
There is certainly nothing more I'M
slightly along the streets thae the tele-
phope poles looking like bill board or
a ragged robbin. We suggest, with the
utmost respect, to the Mayor that ne
ought to give instruction TO the officers
to have the poles cleaned oil, painted
and the words Post No Bi Is" painted
ON each pole and then enter into Wig
orousesxcutors Of the law For the same
of the appearance Of the town we APP
peal to you Mr.. Mayor, have these poles
cleared of the dirty rubbish and see
that no more bills are posted upon
them.

The question of tax reformalong tt e
line OF recommendation OF the tax
com mission which was appointed by
direction of the Legislature has been
a source of great annoyance TO the
Republican leaders of the state. Thz
party has been, for the past year or
more, divided aud is still in a state
discord upon the subject. The reform
measures appear to be popular among
the majority of the party but the OPP
position has been strong and aggres-
sive, led by Congressman A. G Day
ton and encouraged and aided by the
corporations and especially the rail
roads of the state and the Baltimore
and Ohio in particular.
Strenuous efforts have been nj ade to
reconcile the differences of the waring
factions but so far they have been in
vain. A conference Of the leaders was
held sometime ago in Washington
and after pretty thorough discussion
OF the matter it was referred to com
mittee composed of Hons, william
hubbard, Of Wheeling and George
c. Stergis, of Morgantown champion
OF tax reform and Congressman A.G.
Dayton and Judge Reese Blizzard,
champion OF the opposition.
This committee has been laboring
hard to settle the matter. Trey have
b zen confer ng and corresponding but
have been totally unable to agree up
on com mou basis and It now looks
as il the commit tee willuvver agree
Last week the Morgantowa Pos, own

w III: DIS

Consumption is a human
weed hourlshing 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.

CLIMBING PLANTS.
The Five Different Classes, With
Their PecuIiarities.


Their Pe~cuIiarities.
Climbing plants may be divided into
five classes-hook climbers, root climb
ers, twiners, leaf climbers and tendrii
bearers.
Hook climbers are equipped with
hooks, which are caught up in the I'LL
rounding vegetation.
Root climbers, like ivy, throw out
fibers along their stems and ascend
slowly, insinuating themselves by
means Of rootlets, which grow away
from the light and become glued to the
stems of trees or to harder surfaces.
Twiners, like the scarlet runner, hop,
convolvulus and bryony, Irvine them
selves around the upright stems of
their neighbors. Some, like the convol-
vulus, bend toward the left; others, like
the hop, Irvine to the right.
The climbing habit, however, is most
perfectly exhibited by plants with sen
sitive prehensile organs, either leaves
or tendrilS.
In the tendril bearers we find here
and there along the stem sensitive,
twining, whiplike structures, which
curve to what they touch and eventu.
ally link themselves round it. OF this
sort are the passion flower, sweet pea,
grapevine and Virginia creeper.-Pear-

Mr.. E. E. Stevens, editor of the Min
neapolis Union, visited the Worlds
Fair at St. Louis few days ago, and
the following letter in the Union des-
cribes in part what his Impressions
were:
To Readers of 1.-The Union:
have been through the Worlds
Fair grounds again to-day for the
third time since coming to St.
Louis last week, and every day the
wonder within me grows. l had
imagined from the descriptions that
the management intended to eclipse
anything ever before attempted, but
1 had no idea of the tremendous size.
the magnificent designs, the splendid
settings and the artistic beauty Of
the buildings. l was somewhat pre-
pared to see something of the ordi-
nary, but my mind had by no means
grasped the splendors which viii be
open to the visitors to the Worlds
Fair this summer. OF course the
grounds and the buildings at this
time are in a chaotic state, and the
weather was unpropitious for pleas
ant visiting, but even with these
drawbacks, and with nothing but the
bare and in many cases but partially
finished buildings to be seen, the
