GERMAN WORK PEOPLE.
Their Amusements Are Few and
Mostly Confined to sunday.

Amusements play comparatively
small part in the lives Of German work
people, and such as they have are most
ly confined TO Sunday. Games have
not taken hold of them; they go TO no
football or cricket matches, although
there are matches, and other classes In
Germany show growing taste for
games and sports went to see a
football match between Dusseldorf and
neighboring manufacturing town. A
similar match anywhere IN manufac-
turing England would have attracted
from 10000 to 10000 sons of toll, who
would have shouted themselves hoarse
from beginning to end. At the Ger
man match not one put in an appear
ance When | left the field toward the
close Of the game the spectators, who
had slowly increased during the after
noon, numbered exactly slxty-livc. They
were not worlingmen, and they show
ed no excitement whatever. They
played the association game, not very
well. The national game in Germany
is kegel, kind of sklttles, and 1t Is
played Mt public houses, but not by
worklngmen or seldom by them. They
play cards sometimes, but not n great
deal. In short, games may be ruled
out as nm item IN Industrial life. Thea

but for nothing like 30 much as in Eng

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLES.

principles, not men" Is u good
old democratic maxim. Until n nom
ination is made nj st. Louis, in July,
we will, perhaps, hear far too much
about the claims Of rival candidates
for the democratic nomination; but
will we hear enough about democratic
principles? The Mantowoc Pilot Of
last week contained a very able article
upon the Importance OF placing at the
front Mt this time sound democratic
principles. From this article the fol-
lowing extracts are taken:
4" 1t Is time that the democratic party
ceased looking about for II candidate
whose mere personal popularity would
be his main qualifications.
1--WE can hear In the recent pro-
ceedings In New York city one clear
note that seems to have In 1t the ring
OF promise aud Of power. We like
tho calmly emphatic wording OF the
address OF Richard b, Olney. 1T has
the sound of true patriotism M well as
the sound of true democracy. 1t IN
broad; but IL IL fenressly specific.
IL indicates unquestionably the crying
need OF reform; but 1t Is conservative
In the extreme, IL Is unrevolutlonary.
IL IL safe speech; but II Is an emil
nently good speech"
"The old democracy had principles
and the old democracy compares
pretty fayorably with any brand Of
the modern article The old democ-
racy stood for the people, but 1t stood
for the peoples progress, IL stood for
the peoples safety, and, In standing
for these things, IL stood unll inchlngly
and Enthusiastically for the peoples
honesty. On It's principles this nation
was built, und we believe that by It's
principles alone can this nation fulfill
It's proper destiny"
Harmony Is greatly to be desired
but true and lasting harmony can only
come In the support OF sound princi-
pies. And the truly democratic way
to determine party doctrine Is by reso-
lutions from democratic eaucuses and
conventions. The making of party
platform should not be left without
consideration until tho meeting OF the
national convention. Right up from
caucuses and primaries should come
n note OF warning that democrats
must not be misrepresented In 1904 by
reallirmation Of the unsound and
unwise features Of the platforms Of
1896 and 1900 Under present statutes
in Wisconsin eaucuses have generally
degenerated into n kind of Quakers'
meetings. But this Is not our iden Of
the right kind OF caueuses for free
aud self-governing people There
ought to be expressions Of opinions rs
we'll rs nominations OF delegates and
candidates. Let no strife be stirred
up; but let democrats generally dis
cuss their party principles in spirit
of earnest good nature. Great good
would come from an outspoken declar-
alton from the rank and lie In favor
OF II return to the old-time democratic
faith NJ against fused and confused
party platform.

Cruelty tn Animals,

The Noahs ark animals lay on the rug,
Where brightly the freight shone,
And each was telling his tale OF woe
And bitterly making moan.
"Well, the baby has left us in peace for
awhile"
Said the tall giraffe, with a sigh.
but this quiet time cannot last very
long;
He's sure to come back by and by.
"This morning he twisted my tail quite
off,
And as for my missing ears
have not seen them for many days,
And / mourn their loss with tears"
"I'm worse Off than you" the elephant
said
AS he made face at the ape,
For an hour ago he extracted my tusks
And smashed my trunk out of shape"
my case is worse than either of yours"
Said the COW, with n mournful pride.
For the little monster licked me today
Till the paint came off OF my side"
Ono after another the animals spoke,
For all had lost legs tails or ears
And the spaces between their narrowing
tales
They filled with their bitter tears.
And they hope some person who reads
this lay
VIII pity their dreadful fate
And send somebody to rescue them
Before 1t becomes too late.

The Mans nntu.

We see much about the duty of
wives and mothers, but the remarks
about husbands and fathers on
this line are sparlingly. God in
his infinite mercy and love gave
woman Ito man for her to love,
honor and obey, which is the natu,
raj instinct of all women. Holy
writs also says Husbands love
your wives as Christ loved the
church and gave himself for it.
This shows plainly that a woman
is to be kept pure and true by the
love and protection of her hus.
band. A , ife's heart is sensitive
to every cold look from her hus.
band. We have seen men who
would not even look at loving
hopeful wife doing all in her pow
er, for his comfort and pleasure
for days and even weeks. While
he furnished her all the needed in
this worlds goods yet he. starved
her heart. Just because some
neighbors had trespassed on his
rights or he could not meet an OBJ
legation of some kind that she
knew nothing of, she must bear the
burden because she is a poor help
less woman. He is the one to love
and cherish her Will God not
hold him aocounta BILE? We say,
husbands awake to your duty as
the head of the wife and children
in more ways than to demand
obedience, and there will be fewer
elopements with other men and
fewer wives trying to fiirt with
other men Where is the woman
that is foolish enough to leave the
true love and protection of a Low.
