THE GOOD OLD WAY.

Asevere cold or attack of la grippe
is like fire, the sooner you com bat
it the better your chances are to
overpower it. But few mothers in
this age are willing to do the nee
essary work required to give a good
old-fashioned reliable treatment
such as would be administered by
theirgrandmothers backed by Bos-
chee's German Syrup, which was
always literally used in connection
with the home treatment of colds
and is still in greater household
favor than any known remedy. But
even without the application of the
oldfashioned aids German Syrup
will cure asevere cold in quick time.
1t will cure colds in children or
grown people. Itrelieves the con-
gested organs, allays the irritation,
and effectively stops the cough. Any
child will take it. It is invaluable
in a household of children. Trial

DEFINITE DEMOCRACY.

John Temple Graves, a distin-
guished Democrat of Atlanta, Ga.
recently sounded the key note of
the object and purposes OF the
Democratic party and its mission,
which will be heartily endorsed
by every Democrat who reads this
article.
Mr.. Graves was the chief orator
of the Jackson Day banquet of the
Duckworth Club at Cincinnati, o.,
January Z, speaking of Definite
Democracy" In the course of his
speech he said:
"In it's nature and it's mission
the Democratic party has been and
must be reform party and a rad
icalparty. In ntheconditionswhich
surround it now this mission and
method becomes the price of its
popularity and the necessity of its
life. We have always failed, and
will always fail as party of mega
tionanda party ofopposition. We
have failed because we have been
unfaithful. We have failed because
we have trimmed and hesitated and
straddled. We havefailed because
we have compromised with the ap-
parently successful doctrines of the
Republican party and surrendered
to men whose interests and convic-
tions weresonearly akin to those of
our political opponents that they
ought, in common honesty, to es-
pouse the Republican party to
which they belong. We have failed
because in our political hunger for
success we have initiated the plat
forms and pandered to the powers
of the opposite party that held the
Government.
Mr.. President, the Democratic
party never had clearer mission
or brighter promise than to-day.
Defeat is discipline and disaster is
education. Out of the wreck ofour
fortunes we will build nobler and
more enduring usefulness. The
Democratic party is going to be re-
born, reformed and reconstructed
to the Constitution and to popular
rights and liberty. We can not af-
ford any longer to be a party of
negation, a party of opposition,
or servile imitation of the party
in power. We are going to be a
party of creeds and not merely
party of hungry desires. We are
going to quit crawling on our bel
lies before the juggernauls of pow
er, and we are going to quit truck
ling like towards to the shadow of
a merely temporary success. We
are going totind and to follow real
leaders if we have to smash every
slate aud annihilate every politi-
clan that has fattened upon our
suffrages for forty years. We are
going to make a platform that will
be an open opposition and bold
challenge to the Republican creed
everywhere"
