1t is estimated that the gov
eminent deficit will be nearly
wiped out by the time Congress
convenes. The receipts for
August were nearly $4,000, 900
larger than the receipts for Au-
gust, 1904. This is very fa~
vorable condition of affairs, and
if it continues there will be no
necessity for tariff revision.
The entire country is nows en-
joying an unprecedented state
of prosperity, and it would be
useless to disturb great business
enterprises at this time by any
financial legislation whatsoever
''Let well enough alone" is a
good motto.

Her family searched for der without
success. The runaways never returned
to the farm near Cortland nor sought
parental pardon, Hart was physically
disabled, and finally he and his wife
became wanderers. Through illness
Mrs. Hart lost her sight. Ten years

Five Thousand Honor MitcheII-Rec-
ognition of Union Demanded.
MAHANOY CITY, Pa. Sept. a.
Five thousand mine workers paraded
here in honor Of President John Mitch
ell, who was given rousing recep-
tion A feature of the demonstration
was the bearing at the head of the
procession Of a large American flag
by twenty four little girls from the
public schools. Every colliery in the
Mahanoy valley was closed, the 10000
employees making a holiday of it.
There were only two banners in the
procession. They bore these inscrip-
tons: I'VE honor our two good presi-
dents, Roosevelt and Mitchell" and
"We demand recognition of the union
and an eight hour workday. Come,
Mr.. Baer, let MS reason together"
President Mitchells speech after the
parade was a virtual reiteration of his
former address delivered ON his pres
ent tour of the anthracite fields. He
came out squarely for recognition of
the union and an eight hour workday,
declaring that there would be no per-
manent or lasting peace in the hard
coal industry until the union Is recog-
nized and the eight hour day establish
ed. "The uniOn," he said, ''is now
stronger than at any time in Its history
and is prepared to move on in one
solid phalanx to victory in its fight for
right, as it did in 1902 We shall de-
mand decrease in hours and an in
crease i'm wages"

A move is on hand again to
have congress pass a conititu-
tional amendment changing the
date of the Presidential inau-
guration. 1t is stated that Al
governors have signified their
willingness to induce congress
to draw up and submit to the
states the constitutional amend
ment which is necessary to be
adopted before the change can
can be made. Such a revision
would be a wise one indeed.
Hundreds of prominent men
have lost their lives from ex~
posture in being compelled to
attend the inaugural exercises
for the sake of mere courtesy.
For this reason alone Inaugu-
ration Day should occur later
in the spring when the weather
is warm and pretty. April 30,
has often been suggested as the
proper date.

What is the democratic party
going to do? What issues will
it tender? The political history
of the past 40 years demon
strates that to succeed a party
must be assertive. 1t must take
initiative. There was a time
when the democratic party
could be depended on to lead.
That was when the democratic
party believed something and
was faithful to its convictions.
1t was not then a mere party of
negatioD, to camp tonight where
it's adversary camped last night.
The act of 1853 put the coun'
try on a practical gold basis
a democratic measure fashions
ed by Mr.. Robert M. T. Hunter,
of Virginia. The party was
true to it's traditions as late as
1862, and voted solidly against
the fiat, rag>money greenback,
but in 1868 it proposed to print
enough rag money to pay the
national debt. Since that date
it has been "slashing around"
and clutching at almost all
the financial heresy it could lay
hold on. Tilden got hold of it,
put some democracy into it, and
retaught it the art of victory.
Cleveland twice led it out of
the Wilderness, but it scamper-
ed back again at the invitation
Of frenzied statesmen of the
West. The democratic party
must find something to believe,
and then believe it with fanatic
zeal. 1t has never yet, and it
never will, believe it with "blue
law" Democracy Mr. Bryan
thinks he believes in. When~
ever the people want "blue law"
craftsmanship they know
where to get it, They will go
to the republicans for it

The republican Parry stands
for "a square deal" on any POI
litical question. 1t is striving
Maryland to protect the negro
voter against any unfair dis
elimination. It's chief objec.
ton to the Poe amendment is
that its test for voting is not
educational, as its author
claims. There is no reason why
a white illiterate should be al
lowed to vote and a black ILL
terate challenged. Were this
amendment to become a law
the sole test of qualification
would be left with the election
commissioners as to whether a
man is entitled to vote or not.
Such a measure would be puts
ting too much power in the
hands of corrupt election
judges. 1t is to be hoped that
the good people of Maryland
will defeat such a corrupt mea,
sure as the Poe amendment APP
pears to be. The republican

franchise a single eligible vot-

dollars, according to their value.
