AN tNsolvENT PARTY.

A platform is note given by a po-
iitical party to the public to fall due
whenever its makers attain power. 1t
is as much an obligation as a note of
hand from one Individual to another.
It's guaranty is the sincerity and hon-
esty of its guarantors. The liquidation
of platform is the bankruptcy of a
party as the Reputation of note is
the insolvency of the individual
The democratic party is insolvent. 1t
has no issue Its present platform re-
pudiates its past platforms and princt-
pies and it's candidate repudiates the
present platform. Worse still, it has
attempted to steal the very principles
Of protection and finance that are the
cornerstones of republican policy. The
democratic party is not only a bank
rnpt, but an embezzler.
The currency question and antag-
onism to the protective system has
been the only excuse for the existence
of the democratic party. Why did it
turn tail on it's time honorei tenets2
Why did Parker draw sight draft
that forced the platform upon which he
had been nominated by the consent of
his sponsors into Involuntary bank
ruptey2 Simply to give Dave Hill q
CHARGE at New York. Much has been
rl.a evf,tf T.
ness in refusing 10 stand on the plat
form but it iss hard to see wherein so
much praise is supported. Parker had
voted twice for W. j. Bryan and free
coinage of silver. He had made no
public announcement Of n change of
heart when he deliberately slapped the
western democratic states in the face
by his dictatorial telegram. This, too,
despite the language of his nominator.

proved before it was delivered to the
assembled delegates of his party.
Mi. Parker and the coterie into the
hands of which he has evidently placed
himself and his destinies are welcome
TO make Rooseyeltism an issue. 1t is
the only one they have. Rooseveltism
includes consistency and plain hon
esty. 1t is a manifestation of strenu-
Gus republicanism that tells its party
and the people what they may expect
Of their candidate. Rooseveltism flips
no cards from the bottom. Parkerism
appears to consist mostly OF a tin horn
tnpassibility OF countenance and dex-
taxity in shifting the cut. If we are to
make an issue on political manliness
and consistency Parker and his party
must suffer by the comparison.

CosT OF CAMPAIGNS.

A presidential campaign Is an ex-
pensive necessity. Some one with a
head for figures has estimated that the
legitimate expenses OF the two oppos-
ing parties will cost in the neighbour
hood Of six millions for the coming
campaign. The campaign OF 1900 cost
about five millions. This enormous ex-
penditure is accounted for by items of
$4,000 expended for big city parades,
$4,000 to $4,000 each for monster mass
meetings and at least $4,000 day for
maintenance of party headquarters.
Personal canvasses of doubtful states
are taken as carefully and cost almost
as much az q census enumeration. A
political campaign is as expensive
while 1t lasts as vacation at q sum-
mer resort.
Lincop's second campaign cost but
500 900. but there was little occasion
for expenditure in 1864. There was no
need OF arousing enthusiasm in war
time. Inc CGi1paiSH WoIhel itSeil. III
the north a democrat was marked

check a poll list accurately. The great
cities were few and great business or
CARNATIONS capable OF contributing
millions to campaign fund were prac-
tically unknown. The south held the
elections OF the Confederate States of
America then and went democratic.
There was but one great issue popu-
larly considered and that WAS the war.
Lincoln's 's4 campaign was inexpensive
because Lincoln was the nominee and
the whole heart of the north beat re-
publican.

shown much more now in the attitude

feeling of unexpectedly is only as

NV Two Friends.


I have two neighbors who have dwelt
For years and years right side by side
There's very little one has seen
But that the other. too. has spied.
They are congenial In their fastest
Ir everything they quite agree.
And what one loves to look upon
The other. too. ia pleased to see.
Together they have travelled far
And viewed the sights In many lands.
Whatever enc can comprehend
The other likewise, understands.
Like brothers they have shared their
grief,
Like brothers Joined In their delight.
Together roamed the fields by day
And gased upon the stars by night.
But, strange as It may seem, these
friends
who have been cloeely linked for years
And In their sympathetic way
Have ever shared their smiles and
tears
Have never seen each other: vet
That fact need cause no grest surprise
Because these two observing friends
OF whom speak are m! two eyes.

A Happy Quote.


Edwin Tarrissse in Lippincott's:
Blackburn says that the most felici-
tious quotation propos of any pend
Ing measure in the senate was uttered
by the late Senator Vance, of North
Carolina.
A strong effort ives being made in
the senate to pass the Paddock pure
food bill. Conger, of Iowa, at present
minister to China, had succeeded in
getting the lard bin bearing his name
thru the house. but the southern SEN
ators had defeated 1t in the senate
Frequently, however, an effort would
be made to get the provisions Of the
Conger bill attached to the Paddock
bill as amendments. AT a time when
Senator Paddock had the floor to pre-
sent the merits of his bill he was inter
rupted by another senator, who intima-
ted that inasmuch as the Conger lard
bill had passed the house 1t might be
better to more carefully examine its
provisions. AT this juneture Senator
Vance managed to secure recognition.
MIR. President" exclaimed he as he
slowly arose from his seat, the Conger
lard bin is dead.
."Tis Greece. but living Greece no
more.'''
No more was heard from the Conger
people.
