later they elected Samuel J. Tilden president of the United States, and eight years later still they elected Grover Cleveland, who was given an- other term in 1892.
 There is room for but two great par ties in England, and in this country we need but two-the one progressive or radical, and the other a hold-back or stand-pat conservative party. There cannot well be but two, and of all the silly propositions of the day the sil- Hest is the one that proposes to turn southern democrats into mugwumps, attached to no party, but bartering with both. The proposition assumes that southern democrats have no polit- ioal principles, no convictions as to public questions. Itis a mistake from start to finish
 All that democrats need do-demo- crats of the south or the north, of the east or the west-is to sand firmly and seadfastly by their championship of the rights and liberties of the people, and time will do the rest. Landslides will recur at intervals, but there Is nothing in the one of last Tuesday to drive any one into an cratic or ex- treme course of thinking and acting. Simply stand by the ship. She is not sinking. She is simply battered and war-worn, but she is sound in hull and can soon be rut in fine condition. The tarlff-bred trusts and monopolies will in their uncontrolled greed soon sup ply the old ship with sails without stint, and victory will come again as it did in lS44, 1876 and 1884.

 w on the mikado's cavalry. I mean Prince Kanin Kotchito, cousin of the emperor.
 Kanin came here youth to study mill ltary science He particularly devoted himself to cavalry, and spent some years at Saumur studying horses, horsy people and cavalry tactics. A vet who was at tached to the cavalry school during Prince Kanin's initiation tells me that he used to pay the closest attention to the dis eases of horses. and had special instruc- tions in them both at Saumur and the AL fort and Lyons schools. In his vacations he went to Tarbes with officers who had remount business to transact and to the remount centers of Germany and Hun gary.
 At the time he studied cavalry tactics the royalists seemed to gain strength in politics, and he might have been urged by other motives than fondness for their society in keeping company with them. He was to intelligent to have cared for com panionship with the young fellows at the school. French cavalry officers differ from infantry and artillery in being gen. orally tall, of noble birth and num- skulls.
 When Prince Kanin had learned all that Saumur could give him. he came to Paris, went to scientific lectures and plunged into the amusements of brilliant society. He at one time thought of making
 AEo Iaer 1t up for the sake of romantic attacn- ment The lady thought him a feather in her cap, and felt fiattered whenever she heard of his name being coupled with hers.
 A hero of Disraeli could not have led an apparently more brilliant or trivial life Behind the scenes it would have been a life that satisfied ambition, patriotism and self-respect an over-weening quality in most Japanese. Kanins oblique eyes and obliquer eyebrows declared his far east ern blood. The rest of the face seemed strange cross between the mikado's and that of the great bronze image of Buddha in the Cernuschi museum Not wishing to drink the cup of Paris ian entertainments to the dregs, Kanin suddenly returned to Japan and mar ried a lady connected with the imperial family. We heard no more of him until the Mikado sent him as his representative to the opening of the 1900 exhibition When he arrived the bewitchment of the Russian alliance had not subsided. and the official world saw Japan through Russian eyes
 This led to a curious incident at the opening of that -to-be-forgotten show. The Russian government had hint ed to the French that it hoped Kanin would not be assimilated to grand duke at any official ceremony The director of the protocol proposed to save the dig nity of the Japanese prince in this strange way: He was to be placed in the tribune of the offi4al ladies instead

SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 I noted that the politicians and news papers of some of the southern states seem to look with alarm on the possible reduction in representation contemplated by the Crumpacker resolution, and I beg to know why this Is so?
 Representation is a constitutional right and cannot be denied nor abridged by any act of congress If some states have more representation than they are constitution ally entitled to, then as matter of right they should be satisfied to have 1t reduced hardly look upon it with any feeling akin to alarm. It is better and wiser to be In the union on correct constitutional basis; anything other than this will pro- duce friction and i'll feeling and no state ought to ask it. The fear of negro domina- tion no longer threatens any state, and it is bought very cheap if they have to give up no other than a few members of con- gress to get it. If l am wrong in any thing I have said l would be pleased to have 1t corrected by you.

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
Women of 2ooo 3. c. Dressed as Wo-
 men of 1904.

From Everybodys Magazine.
 MT. Arthur Evans, the Oxford archae- ologist, who has made so many inter- esting discoveries in the so-called palace of Minos. Tn Crete, has found in a sub terrenean sanctuary certain very ancient small, earthenware statues, representing some goddess and two of her servants. The dress of the figure is said to be highly modern. The goddess we grieve to say, wears a corset, just such a cor set as contemporary man shyly wonders at in the windows of department store. The skirt of the robe of the goddess is 'in St. Louis XIV style" Her jacket is exactly as is worn in the present day" Styles of say, 2000 B. C., styles of 1904. Unless some humorist has "salted' the excavations, you are forced to hold that much nonsense has been written about the splendid, free. uncramped bodies or the female ancients, i've shift and be- deck and bedrape us," much as our es- teemed ancestors did in the morning or the world.

MT. Gohbler,s Real Name.

Elizabeth Grinnel in Sunset Magazine.
 The original name of the turkey was Oocoocoo, by which it was known by the native Cherokee Indians. It is supposed that our Pilgrim Fathers, roaming through the woods in search '>f game for their first Thanksgiving spread, heard the Oocoocoo calling in the familiar tones of our domestieated fowl, Turk, turk, turk These first Yankee huntsmen, mis- taking this frightened cry of the bird for it's real song, immediately labeled it turkey and turkey 1t is to this day Much more beautiful and musical was the Indian name 'Oocoocoo," the notes pe- culiar to the flock when summing them selves in perfect content on the river beaches!

THE STREAM OF LIFE.

By Arthur Hugh Clough. o stream descending to the sea,
 Thy messy banks between, The flowerlets blow, the grasses grow The leafy trees are green. In garden plots the children play,
 The fields the laborers till The houses stand on either hand,
 And thou descendant still. O life, descending into death,
 Our waking eyes behold, Parent and friend thy lapse atteno'
 Companions young and old. Strong purposes our minds possess.
 Our hearts affections fill. We toll and earn, we seek ana iearn' And thou descendest still. O end to which our currents tend'
 Inevitable sea, TO which we flow, what do we know.
 What shall we guess of thee? roar we hear upon thy shore.
 As we cur course, fulfill; Scarce we divine a sun will shine
 And be above us still.

PRINCE KANIN OF JAPAN
 VERY DASHING FELLOW

of that of the president of France: the country of chivalry could not honor Ka- min more than in seating him between Mines. Fallieres and Waldeck- Rousseau. The former as wife of the president of the senate, ranked with Madame Loubet. What could be more civil than to set the Mikados cousin between her and the wife of the prime minister?
 Yes, if the ceremony had taken place at the Elysee or the Petit Luxembourg As it happened. those ladies known as off cial have no protocolar rank out of doors. Kanin knew this. As the "Marseillaise'' hailed M. Loubet the prince from Japan rose and departed. He left for Lon don by the next Calais express, to return to his own country without revisiting Paris

Crime Decreasing.


 am gratlfied to learn from the papei' that crime is on the decrease in Birming- ham," said an old citizen. "Whethef the marked improvement Is due to the auiel work of the Law and order league or the vigilance of the police, I cannot say but probably the police deserve most Of the credit.
 When the Law and Order leangne was organized some months ago. under the title of Civic league. l believe 1t was. l understood that public meetings would be held from time to time at which represen- tative speakers would be heard on topics pertinent to local conditions. For iohs time the lawless class was greatly in evi- dence. and educational work reaching the rougher element was badly needed 1fimprovement If in police circles continues at the present rate the Law and Order league can lie back on it's oars.'

Advance In Sugar.

"The feature of the grocery market this week has been the advance in sugar. said J. D. Harris, member of large wholesale concern. Manufacturers have advanced 4 of a cent. Local dealers hao anticipated a rise and had bought ahead This fact accounts for our jobbers keep ing the price an eighth of cent below the refiner's advance.
 Birmingham wholesale grocery trade is quite active. It was booming away this year up to June but during the sum mer 1t fell off. There Is every promise of an unusually brisk trade this winter an next spring.
