COrtelyOu'S Cash.

Washington, October 12-From
the beginning a sectional party, and
always minority party, the Re-
publican party stole the Presidency
in 1876 II, bought it in 1880 and
1888, and is prepared to buy it
again in 1904. Their program is
to let the trusts make the tariff, and
the trusts will buy the election.
That is why it is that Mr.. Cortel-
you, the chief-of-staf Of "the party
of great moral ideas" has more
money than you can shake a stick at
and it will be put where it will do
the most good, to borrow a phrase
from an eminent and typical Re
publican statesman OF the Credit
Mobilier epoch. In 1888 Boss
Quay, with the enormous Doodle
fund raised by John Wanamaker,
threw bis millions into Brooklyn
and carried New York for Harrison.
The money Quay had in 1888 was
beggarly compared with what Cor
telyou has in 1904, and which Will

Democrats are bound to have to
succeed. New York, Indiana, New

the method suggested by the State

registration shown in the cities in

To show that our wayside village

from a monotonous slumber, we in
troduce our bit of brief news by
copying an article taken from the
Baptist and Reflector of Oct. 9th,
which bears the signature of j. nj.
Curry, and reads as follows: "Our
pastor, Bro. U. A. West, assisted
by Bro. D. A. Ellis, closed meet
ing on last Thursday night with
wonderful results. There were
about % professions of faith, %
additions to the church, II by bap-
tism, by letter, and by restora-
ton. The church has been won
derfully revived. Three years ago
we had no pastor and the member
ship was very small. But during
the three years that Bro. West has
been With us, there has been great
good accomplished. Bro. Ellis
breaches the old time religion and
it has the old time ring. We have
a great outlook for the future. We
therefore ask the. prayers of all of
Gods people everywhere" Bro.
Curry has frankly expressed the
facts as they have been found at
Toone and the new life that has
been aroused in our community
seems of thoroughly contagious
nature.
Bro. West preached to good
congregation on last Sunday moEn-

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS FRIGHTENING

w aSnlnStOn, OcC- To-
Gloom dispelliDg lights have
fiared up in New Jersey and
We est Virginia, throwing well
come rays of hope and cheer
ing the hearts of Democratic
campaign managers as have
no other developments in
the past week.
"For the first time since
the opening of the campaign
[ feel hopeful of New Jer-
sey," said Chairman Cowherd
of the Democratic Congress
ional Campaign Committee
today to The Commercial
Appeal correspondent. [ am
in receipt of advices from our
campaign managers in that
State, and without exception
the opinion prevails that the
Democrats have a good chance
to win the fight. Up to the
past few days it looked as if
the Democrats would lose
New Jersey, but the situa=
ton has changed materially
since then, and tangible hope
is offered. The Democratic
factions have united, every
wrinkle in the situation
having been ironed out, leav-
ing a smooth and unrippled
surface. This applies to the
Smith and the anti-Smith
factions, which for a while
threatened Democratic sue
cess. It seems to be we'll
nigh settled that thousands
of Republicans will bolt the
Republican ticket on the
local question of equal tax
alton. The Democratic plat
form stands for equal taxation
and the Republicans declared
for the old order of things.
There is hardly a doubt that
Black, the Democratic nom
inee for Governor, will be
elected, and he may pull the
National Democratic ticket
through with him.
From West Virginia reas-
surfing tidings were received
today at Congressional Com
mittee headquarters. The
source of this information en-
titles it to the fullest meas
ure of credence. 1t came
from ex-senator Faulkner, Of
West Virginia, former chair
man of the Democratic Ma
tional Congressional Com
mittee, and represents his
first official estimate of the
situation in that State. In
a letter to Chairman Cow
herd to-day, Ex-senator
Faulkner said that Democrat
ic prospects in West Virginia
were Frightening, the situa-
ton having been greatly i'm
proved by the whirlwind
campaign of ex- Senator Da-
Wis, the vice presidential
nominee, and his party of
seasoned campaigners. 1t is
not predicted that the DEM
ocratic National ticket is
going to carry the State, but
the chances of Parker and
Davis have improved consid-
erably, and will grow bright
er as the State Democratic
ticket gathers strength. In
dications of victory for the
latter are very encouraging.
AS in New Jersey, the alb
sorbing issue in West Vir=
ginia is taxation, the Dem
ocrats advocating reform in
the system so as to equalize
the burden. On this vital
issue they have the Republi-
cans on the defensive.

Taking Care Of Pennies.

1t is often said that only the
rich take care of the pennies,
the poor are too busy dreaming
of the 81, 900 bills. That is one
of the reasons why some people
are always poor. The substan-
tial fortunes of the United States
have been made from pennies.
A fraction of a cent on a pound
of sugar, a cent or two on every
gallon of petroleum, a penny
more a pound for nails, grow in
to the aggregate millions of
profits which are the base for
billions of stock capitalization.
A cent a pound is more than
most extreme fuctuation in the
wholesale price of iron and
steel, more than the difference
between riches and bankruptcy
in great industry. These say,
ings are as possible to the aver
age man as to the trust mag
ates.-New York World.

The Condensed Novel.

Thomas Dixon, Jr., is response
bic for this story. He says there
was once an aspiring young auth
or who submitted a manuscript
to a large publishing house. The
publishers read the story care
fully and sent it back to the
writer asking him to condense it.
The author condensed the story
and returned it to the publishers
once more. 1t was returned with
instructions to condense it once
again. The young man followed
the instructions. The manu-
script was returned to him five
times, each time to be condensed.
When the fifth request came the
aspiring young author got his re-
venge. On a sheet of paper he
wrote the title of the story.
Under it he wrote the three
words:
"Born, Wed, Dead" The
Bookman.

Animals Protest Against Christmas
Slaughter.

While visiting the home of a
friend several weeks ago it was
noticed that every night about
II 30 a peculiar noise would en-
anate from the barn-yard, where
all the holiday fowls were kept,
previous to their sale or slaugh-
ter. 1t was suggested that per-
haps the poor, hungry colored
people were tresspassing and as a
colored revival meeting was in
progress nearby the suggestion
was well taken and, with an in
terpreter watch was put and
this is merely a report Of the in
terpreter's.
He said that perhaps in the
history Of the whole animal
kingdom such another meet had
ever been pulled off as this. 1t
appeared to be a convention of
some sort, and all the fowls and
animals whose names appeared
on the various Christmas menu
cards and bills of fare over the
country were there by large
majority, and a general protest
was started as soon as the con-
vention convened. Only two
speakers were billed for the
evening addresses, and much
preparation had been for the oc-
casion, and twas said the con-
vention had been the talk of the
yard for weeks previous and
since the address of certain dele
gates to that convention it is
still a matter of much comment
ana vital importance TO thOse
concerned.
The speakers of the occasion
were Mr.. Sammy O'Possum
(probably Irish) and Mr.. Bronze
T. Gobbler, the only survivor of
the Thanksgiving massacre.
Mr.. O'Possum showed himself
to be a close student Of human
nature, and one who was up a
bit OH the signs of the times.

Snakes may almost be said to
have glass eyes insomuch as their
eyes never close. They are with
out lids, ami each is covered with
a transparent scale much re-
sembling glass. When the rep
tile casts tsouter skin, the eye
scales come off with the rest of
the transparent envelope out of
which the snake slips. His
CLASSY eye scale is so tough that
it etfectually protects the true
eye from the twigs, sharp grass
and other distractions which the
snake encounters in its travels,
yet it is transparent enough to
allow the most perfect vision.
Thus, if the snake has not a glass
eye, it may at any rate, be sad
to wear eyeglasses.-EX.
