ganization was never so strong and
carefully nurtured as at present party
discipline was never so rigid; party
leadership was never so placidly recog-
nized and implicitly obeyed by party
workers. The change has come about
in comparatively recent years. In
fact, the present generation of voters
have witnessed it's coming. Samuel J.
Tilden showed the way. AS a result Of
his teaching, not party principle, but
party organization, won for the Demo-
cratic party sweeping victories in Re-
publican strongholds and was started
fairly on the road to a long lease of
national control. Then appeared the
late Marcus A. Hanna from his business
cloister and gave impulse within his
party to a movement similar to that
which, under the tutelage of Tilden,
had brought surprising victories to the
Democrats.
The spirit of organization which now
animates both of the great parties is
not indolent or lukewarm between
campaigns. In an important sense, it
is as active now as it was when the
lines of battle were drawn after the
national conventions of last summer
had done their work. The difference
between them is made conspicuous by
reason of the fact that the Republican
party is in power and its central or
ganization-the National Committee
is necessarily more in evidence than it's
counterpart in the opposition organiza-

- THE RIGHTS OF MAN.
They Should Include an Opportunity
to Make Home on Piece of Land.

The right to work, to employ ones
self, comes from Nature, and not from
legislative action. If that is true,
says the Detroit News Tribune, it fol-
lows that legislatures have no right
to make regulations which will permit
the cornering of opportunities for self
employment. The United States laws
governing our national domain of land
were originally designed to conform to
the rights of man. Our homestead
acts were designed to place the land in
the hands of those who would actually
use it productivity, and much of the
land was so parcelled out to the
great advantage of society. But cum
ming lawyers and unscrupulous men
who want to reap where they have not
sown, who seek to avoid productive Ia
Dor themselves by controlling the op-
portunfties of self-employnfent, have
succeeded in cornering large Sec
tions of the United States. The
revelations of the land frauds in
the West are worthy of great at
tention, but they excite less inter-
est than do our troubles with
President Castro of Venezuela. The
astonishing fact is learned that one
man has acquired nearly $1,000 square
miles of public land. He does not want
to use it himself, and lis only object is
to make others pay him for the privi-
lege of using it. He therefore makes
it more difficult for men to employ
themselves, and the rights of man are
to that extent denied.

years younger than he is, and combin-
ing honeymoon with the first serious
battle in life. The mules please him
as much as if he had never ridden be-
hind the handsomest teams and in the
most luXuriouscarriage in the capitol.
The house, pretty as it Is, compares
to his Washington palace about as
a penny compares to a $40 dollar
gold piece, and yet he is immensely
pleased with it.
When you see him laughing, bolster
GUS and boyish, taking the keenest
pleasure in all his poor possessions,
and seemingly never giving thought
to those he had lost in his old age,
you have to rub your eyes and say to
yourself:
"Can this really be Senator William
M. Stewart who has had the world at
his feet time and again, the man who,
as leading counsel for the Fair-F Flood
Mackay syndicate on the famous Com
stock Lode, received in one fee
S250O00, then the largest sum ever
received by any lawyer in the world
in a single fee; the man who was in
his prime when President Lincoln was
assassinated, and who is the only liv-
ing person that saw the oath admins
tered to Andrew Johnson in the Kirk
wood House; the man who will al
ways be remembered in New York
cafes as "the gayest old Santa Claus

said the old Senator, ''They're not as
used to roughing it as 1 am.''
A wide veranda stretches around
the entire house, and the grounds are
being graded, fenced and sodded.
There is pretty stable and a
quaint little chicken house. The Sem
ator has purchased two hundred fowls
and in his stable, instead of thorough
bred horses he has large, sleek pair
of mules, which he considers more
appropriate to the country.

On September 80 is the Jewish New
Year, this year Number 5666, one of
the most sacred holidays to the Jew,
when all petty Quarrels are forgotten,
and every man is at peace with his
neighbor.
The Jewish New Year is observed
in accordance with the injunction:
"And in the seventh month on the
first day of the month shall ye have
a holy convOcation; no servile work
shall ye do; day of blowing the cor
net shall it be unto you."-Numbers
XXI.
But it is observed quite differently
by the orthodox and the reform Jews.
The cornet mentioned in the bible
is made from a rams horn, and is
known as the "shofar," and is used in
all Jewish synagogues on this New

J. J. Dickinson.

Only one aphorism is known to have
been publicly uttered and reiterated by
the late Orville III. Platt. Senator in
Congress from Connecticut for quar-
ter of century and one of the really
great statesmen of our time and coun-
try. 1t was this:
ours is a government of parties by
parties for the people,"
1t was by this rule. that the fine old
Yankee squared his vote at the polls
and in the Senate. 1t guided his
thought and action. 1t accounted for
his partisanship, which, though never
offensive, was always robust.
Insensibly the American people have
adopted the Platt aphorism. Party or

great parties have lines of subsidiary
organizations reaching down through

Between campaigns, the National
Committees are neither idle nor un-
watchful. The permanent headquarters
of the Republican National Committee
are in Washington, and are under the
immediate supervision of Elmer Dover,
the committees secretary, and former

Peculiar Customs In Blowing the

The customs of different religious

still followed out, as they were in the

HORN.
In the strictly orthodox church the
man who has the duty of blowing the
shofar must be an exceedingly strict
Jew. He must not have shaved his
beard; indeed the ancient Jew never
shaved. He must not have committed
any offence which would bar him from
this sacred office. When he is ready
to blow the shofar he dons the "tal-
lith," a silken cloth, and takes his
stand a the altar, beside the rabbi,
and at certain places in the service
blows the solemn sounds.

The Democratic Victory

The Democratic party with banners bngh,

Has won the grandest victory that's been
won for many day.
And now the good old rooster, after many
silent years,
Can crow at the Republicans until he draws

The DIR. Osler theory. too, is beaten Just as
bad,
And now if all of you allow another thing

Aud that is on the tax reform which beat
the G. 0. p
And also gave the righiful ones grand old
victory.
But now let us stop our rejoicing until the

With their tax reform and other fakes that

But in their stead will cheer three times for

The Baptis,s Of the State are going TO

professors from the State University will
take part in the program. The program is
strong one provides a rich feast for every
day. This is to be a sort Of Baptist Rally,
time for intellectual, spiritual and social
