Financing the Local Campaign and
the Man who Did IL.

the Man who Did IL.
The financial element is most irn-
portant one in political campaigns,
especially SO in a contested national
campaign when the voters must be in
formed in regard to the pending is
sues. 1t is estimated that the legiti-
mate expenses of the campaign just
closed will amount to about one dollar
for each vote. Not a very large
amount Of these expenditures come
through the national committee, but
is raised by voluntary contributions.
Hence it is important to have at the
head OF the financial end Of the cam
paign men Of standing and integrity
who have the confidence Of the we'll

rely upon them to use the money con-

in the last campaign in having at the
head of the finance committee and
treasurer Of the county committee,
John H. Capstick, of Montville. The
financial end Of the campaign was SO

we're forthcoming and the campaign
was closed with all bills provided for, an
unusual experience. Mr.. Capstick was

FAITH VS.. APPETITE.

Hon. Bourke Cochran, Of New York,
in a speech, made recently before
Tammany Hall, characterized the diff
ference between Democracy and Re-
publicanism in the following terse
language:
Democrats are party Of principle.
They follow principle and value it
more than profit. Republicans have
differed more widely than Democrats
upon every question which has been
active in our politics. They have diff
fered about the Philippines, about the
tariff, the gold question, about Cuba,
about every single question which has
come before the public, but their diff
ferences never prevented I'm from
coming back as one M. the moment
there was a chance of getting posses
sion of the Government, and putting
their fists into the Treasury. Demo-
Gratis, on the other side, have thrown
away prospects of success rather than
surrender their principles to which
they were committed. Democracy, in
fact, is a faith, and Republlcanism Is
an appetite"

A CONTRAST.

"The Presidents Dream of War;" as
contrasted with Judge Parker's plea
for peace" is the dominating idea OF
a campaign card being distributed by
the National Democratic Committee.
On the diverse appears the follow.
ing:
PRESIDENTS DREAM OF WAR.
eff we ever grow to REGARD
PEACE AS A PERMANENT CONDI.
TON, and feel that we can afford to
let the keen, fearless, virile qualities
of heart and mind and body sink into
disuse, we will prepare the way for
inevitable and shameful disaster in
the future. From speech by Mr..
Roosevelt, when Governor, before New
York Republican Club, February -,
1899.
The military establishment Of the
United States, exclusive Of pensions,
will, under four years of Roosevelt, in
time of profound peace, have cost
$515, 100000 more than under four
years of Cleveland.
This is the reverse of the document:
PARKER'S PLEA FOR PEACE.
1.-The display of great military arma-
ments may please the eye, and, for
the moment, excite the pride Of the
citizen, but it cannot bring to the coun-
try the brains, Drawn and muscle Of
single immigrant, nor reduce the in
vestment here Of a dollar Of capital.
OF course, such armament as may be
necessary for the security Of the coun-
try and the protection Of the rights
of its citizens, at home or abroad,
must be maintained. I protest, how
ever, against the feeling that, by rea.
son Of the commanding position We
have assumed In the world, we must
take part in the disputes and broils OF
foreign countries, and that because we
have grown great we should intervene
in every important question that arises
in other parts Of the world. From

Potatoe. and Apples Short.

With rot in the potato crop, scab o.
the apples and Jack Frost on the heels
Of the lazy corn crop, farmers have
their troubles this year. We fear that
the potato rot will be serious. The wet
soil and "muggy" weather give just
the right conditions for the rot tc
spread. If in the face Of these trou-
bles buyers try to get the apples for
less than they are worth by spreading
reports of big crop" there will be live
~ times. Our reports show that the
apple crop Is short In sections where
large supplies are usually provided. Dc
not give away your apples or be
frightened into selling them at a low
figure. The demand is greater than
ever before, while the total supply Is
less than last year.-Rural New Yorker.
The Red Lobster.
The question is often asked, says the
Lancet, without a satisfactory answer
being supplied. Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
on boiling? One reason may be that
the black pigment Of the lobster Is an
iron compound in the lower state Of
oxidation, which boiling oxidizes to
the higher state. Red human hair Is
said to owe its brilliance to iron exist
Ing in the higher o1idized state, and
by means Of reducing agents. such as
pyrogallic acid or nutgall, the color
may be modified. In short, oxygen is
a great painter and probably accounts
for the beautiful autumnal tints OF
plant life.

Wounds of the HeArt.

In wounds Of the heart itself the es

due to the fact that the escape Of blood

its pumping action is maintained. Ac-
