a reduction in 1902 of $1O6, O45, 800 IN

THE DEMOCRATIC MIXTURE
Amazing Spectacle Presented by a Once
Great Party.

The Democratic party. while en-
gagged in trying TO lift Itself into pow
er by its w boot-stlnps, Is an inter-
esting and amazing spectacle. Its con-
trasts. contradictions and comp misses
are picturesque.
First, look at its leaders ana tlelr
pecularities. There is Parker. tne nell
trail in IDEAS and convictions. the active
practical schemer. Then President
Cleveland, with his present pose OF
conservatism and time-flayored doc
trines. \ direct opposite is Tillmar, the
famboyant mountebank, half savage,
half clown. And to give variety, there
Is Hill, the cold, selfish autocrat OF the
Empire State Democracy, not a hair OF
whose political head Is honest. Con-
trasting him is Bryan, the majestic
talking machine, impassior ed, san
guine, and equally crafty politician OF
b west. 1t is a ten-ringed circus tor
dazzling displays OF contrasts. One
thought. II purpose alone, hnimates
this heterogeneous crowd: 10 get into
power.
Backof them there are no principles,
HOT eNen interests, upOn which tney
are agreed. Parker is Mr.. Facing
Both-Ways. Cleveland is a Mr.. Fac
ing Backwards. Tillman is a sufferer
from negrophobia, Hill a believer in
the gold standard, and Bryan the apos-
tie of free silver. Sheehan and his
kind are but devotees OF Tammany. the
most corrupt political organization In
the world.
Can any man believe that these lead
ers, with the rank and file which fol-
lows them torn into still more factions.
can win a national election without a
single national issue to bring before
the people? What can be their fate
ut the polls?
The whole mass of retrospectlon. in
competency, dishonesty and weakness
known as Democracy Is doomed TO de-
served appointment this fall. Slowly
r%eOrganizing. ii must secure to itself a
set of principles. something to live for,
something to work for, before 1t can
command the allegiance of even one
fourth Of the people Of the United
States.

The exports of domestic manufac,
lures from the United States have
grown from$ $40, $500 In 1860 to $4O3.-
641,40l In 1902. Nearly all Of this
growth was under Republican admins
trations. Since 1899 the expectation
Of manufactures has averaged over
$40O.OO0.0OO per annum, being nor
than twice as much AZ In any year
prior to 1895, four times a. much a.
In any year prior to 1877, and ten
times rs much - In any year prior

REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTS
They Receive the Abuse of Democrats
and support of the People.

According TO the Democrats, the Re-
publican presidents, every n of them,
have been a bad lot, personally and POI
litically. Each and all of them were
declared TO be running the country; but
when the day OF reckoning came. and
the verdict of the people was handed
In on their ballots, judgment was CIV
en-save in two cases in forty-four
years-for the Republicans. Impartial
history acquits every Republican pres
ident Of criminal intent and acts. In
doing his duty to the people Mr.. Lin
coin became a martyr. No ruler was
ever more vilitied and denounced. His
body in life, his spirit in death, repre-
sent the dividing line between loyalty
and disloyalty, between the cohesion
of the states or their disintegration.
When a Democrat, he be leader or fol-
lower, writes or talks Of the Republic
an party as a natiOn-destroyer through
its measures or its presidents, it is be-
cause he does not know or does not
care to remember that Buchanan. who,
was a Democrat. shaped the course of
his administration so that the advo-
Gates of secession might have a quick
and easy victory: it was this Demo-
cratic president who left to his Repub-
lican successor and the loyal people he
had been chosen to govern. an empty
treasury, a corpora's guard of an
army, a wreck of n navy, dismantled
f~ortresses, and legions Of o~fficeholders
liberated with a ~disloyalty that the
stern lessons Of war and years of
Christian peace have not entirely Grad
icated. And before Buchanan were
Democratic administration whose acts
were seemingly studied preludes to his
crime. The lineage of the Democrat
ic party is a record of broken pledges
conceived in political iniquities and
strangled at their birth. 1t is the
Democratic party to which the people
W four years of civil war and eight
years of such disagreement that the
rich became poor and the poor starved.
1t has been the province Of the Re
publican party to undo the work Of its
opponents; 1t has again and again
saved the nation from degenerating to
a low grade In nationalities. and 1t has
enforced respect throughout the world
for a country which the Democrats
had brought" into contempt.
OF course the Democrats assail Re
publican presidents and their nominees
for the place Of chief executive; they
do this more by inunendo than by d.
rect accusation stabbing in the dark
rather than a fight In the sunlight. But
there Is always this in favor of the Re-
publican party's presidents from the
time they begin to make history for
the nation-that for their support in
the ordeal Of public criticism they have
had the constitution Of the Union, its
congresses, and the voice Of the people.

Senate Passes Governors
Bill In Second Reading

The Senate judiciary committee got in
its deadly work this afternoon by re-
porting against the passage of a num-
ber of bills introduced by Senator Achi
to repeal various appropriation meas
ures passed at the extra session of the
Legislature. 1t was recommended by
committee that two new bills be sub
stituted. This action was taken in ev-
cry case.
In the case of Senate Bill No. to re-
peal Act 13 of the Extra Session of 1903,
it was stated by the committee that the
reason the bill should not be passed was
because bills incurred before or on June
80, 1904, may not be legally paid after
ward, if the present bill were passed by
the Senate. A new bill amending Act
13 so as to guard against this posi-
bility was introduced by Senator Achi
and passed first reading. In the mat
ter of the bill to repeal Act II of the
last special session, the measure was
tabled and a new one substituted so
that no payments shall be made under
any appropriations of this Act for any
services performed after June 80, 1904,
The new bill passed first reading. The
bill repeating Act IS was laid on the
table also, for the reason that any new
Loan appropriation bill may require the
approval of the president.
An act regulating the payment of jur-
ors' fees in civil cases was introduced
by Senator Dickey and given first read
ing. The bill provides that jurors fees
shall be regarded as part of the court
costs and shall be paid by the losing
side.
Z The Senate bill providing $4,000 for
the expenses of the Senate passed third
reading and goes to the House.
On motion of Senator Dickey a con-
resolution providing that the
members of the Legislature register
their salary and mileage warrants and
take their turn in collecting them was
passed.
! The report of the finance committee
on the Governors appropriation meas
ure was received and adopted The bill
was then taken up on second reading
and passed according to the recon-
mendations made by the committee.
The committee recommended cutting
several items lower than the figures of
theGovernor.
The appropriation for the Park Com
mission was reduced from $4,000 to $S,-
600; the Associated Charities was cut
from $2,4OO to $1,8OO; the rent for the
land for the kerosene warehouse was

A MYSTERIOUS
DISAPPEARANCE
NARSIzO JOAO DE GAMMA, A
WELL KNOWN PORTUGUESE
SINKS OUT OF SIGHT.

Narsizo Joao de Canha, a well-known
Portuguese living at Marq esvilla, Pu-
nahou, has disappeared from his home,
and his wife has become very anxious
about him and fears he has committed
suicide.
He left home Wednesday evening
about o'clock after having had a
quarrel with his wife. He said that he
was going down to the police station to
bail out a boy who was in trouble. His
wife objected, saying the boy was moth
ing to them, and that he had better re-
main at home. He replied that he would
go and that she might never see him
again. He went and his wife has not
seen him since, nor has she been able
to find any one who has.
De Canha was about fifty-five years
of age, and a member of the Lusitana
Society He made a livelihood by rails

sale. He had a quarrel with neighbor
during the afternoon on which he dis
appeared, but it is not thought this had
anything to do with the matter.

Whooping Cough.-This is a very dan
gerous disease unless properly treated.
Statistics show that there are more
deaths from it than from scarlet fever.
All danger may be avoided, however, by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
1t liquifies the tough mucus, making it
easier to expectorate, keeps the cough
loose, and makes the paroxysms of
coughing less frequent and less severe.
1t has been used in many epidemics of
this disease with perfect success. For
