LIGHT FOR THE GAMES.

When was smaller, two of our neighbours girls my
sister and used to have great fun together In autumn
when the leaves had fallen from the trees we would each
take rake and gather all the fallen leaves into piles
would play games such as tag, prisoner sbase hide
andseek and cut-thecheese. When pile had burned
down. set fire to the next and until all were gone
Sometimes however, could not do this undisturbed.
Our nelghbor had boys too and they to
cause mischief One time they crawled up the piles
OF leaves and before knew they all the piles
were burning. used to think these bon6res were the
best thing about autumn, because it the only time
we could stay up later than usual $3.50 1890.

DEMOCRACY s YARDST|CK
By D. Cady HeFFick, Late Democratic
Candidate For Governor Of New York

The strength Of our nation and its per-
petuity depend upon strong, honest, self
reliant, energetic, vigorous men; each at
tending to his own affairs, asking nothing
from she governments, except equality Of
opportunity; each subdivision Of the State
| independent in the management Of IFS own
local affairs; the State attending to the af-
fairs of the State, which relate to the citi-
zens Of the State, and nothing more; the
Federal government strictly confined TO the
exercise of its powers over foreign and
Federal affairs; and neither Federal, State
or local governments attempting TO do for
the individual what he ought to do for
himself; granting to do person, or class of
persons, any rights or privileges not grant,
ed to all; the State not interfering in
affairs of mere local concern, and the Fed
eral government not interfering in matters
that can be managed by the Stale.
The principles of the Democratic party
embrace all these things:
Individualism, with equality Of oppor-
tunity: no paternalism, pampered persons
or industries, or protection to persons or
classes.
Home rule, local self-government, the
school of citizenship.
No interference by the Stale with local
affairs, SO that the people may be taught
and exercised in the duties OF self-govern-
ment; because an intelligent people best
know their own local needs and how to
care for them; furthermore. the State being
relieved of the details Of local government
is left free 30 give more concern to State
affairs.
Strict construction Of the Constitution,
combining the Federal governments to the
powers granted to it by the Constitution,
firmly insisting that all Others shall be ex-
ercised BY the people and BY the States, to
whom they have been reserved
The individual and the local, State and
Federal governments thus make complete
harmonious whole, strong in all its parts,
made so by the exercise Of their appropriate
functions; not weakened by being deprived
Of any Of them, or having those things
done for them that they eau and ought to
0 for them selves.
These principles, supplemented BY the
placing Of honest and oompetent men in
Office, and strict economy in the expendi-
ture Of the peoples money, constitute a
sufficient party creed; and by those princi-
pies should be tested all questions as they
from time to time arise

WILLIAM ]. BRYAN.
From Newark NewsI .

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan is having
his innings in his outing, and he has pluck
ed deserved laurels from the way in which
he has demeaned himself as an eminent
American, who has been twice defeated for
the Preside lcy. MI. Bryan, un Ike many Of
his moral makeup, in whom vanity con-
joins with remarkable brilliancy and force
Of phrase to make self assertion difficult Of
coptrol, has shown discretion and sound
patriotism in all that he has publicly utter
ed. A notable instance Of this is found in
his Philippine experience. Many dis
grunted politician would have taken
occasion to indulge in sentiments tending
to discredit the motives and policy Of this
country toward the islands. Mr.. Bryan as
an anti-imperialist could haYe done this in
a subtle and dangerous way without dis
crediting his position with his friends and
party associates.
He has, however, on the other hand,
stimulated the sense Of loyalty and conf
dence whenever he has spoken. This was
very well shown in the banquet given the
other day in his honor. He assured the
Filipinos that vast majority Of Americans
Of all parties were sincere and jealous for
the welfare Of the islands. He praised
what the governments had done and inn
pressed on the people that governments
could not do it all. They must do their
own share, without which the wisest adj
ministration Of affairs would fail.
II was a gospel Of good cheer, Of courage,
patience, industry and confidence which he
preached to the Filipinos His words were
those Of q sound, level headed patriot, which
can scarcely fail to have their weight. II
believe as firmly in the patriotism Of those
who voted against me as do Of those who
vote for me,'' be said, and he evidently
wished the islanders to take this to heart
in its application to she motives Of the
dominant party in the treatment OF the
Philippines through the government which
represents it. Mr. Bryan's travel record
has certainly done him honor as public
spirited and magnanimous representative
Of the country which persistentIy preferred
to put some one else in the White House.
His humorous remark that when be arrived
home his lock jaw might be removed
need not lessen our esteem for his tact and
good sense as a globe tretter. II may be
considered a confession that he might yield
to the whirIigig Of politics when drawn
again within the centripetal attraction.

A Maine Potato Eden.

The old Duryea starch works in Glen
Cove, T. /. recall days when considerable
part Of New York's potato supply came
from Nassau county, whose most noted
farm product is now the little red fox bred
to be chased by men in coats Of still
brighter red.
But all other sources Of potato supply
are now unimportant in comparison with
Aroostook county, Maine, which was
twenty-five years ago wilderness and now
holds unquestioned the potato primacy Of
she United States. Even since the census
year its development has been marked. A
writer in she Boston Transcript credits it
with producing last year Il 600, 900 bushels
Of potatoes.
Aroostook county is as large as Massa-
chussetts, but the forest still covers seYen-
Fights Of it. Its farm area is less than that
Of ST. Lawrence county, New York, which
alone rivals il IN value Of farm product.
Seven thousand farms average 50, 14S, be
sides rent, wood and produce for home con-
sumption and other cash-saving advantages
Of the farm. The number Of farms with
incomes above S5, 900 is considerable; most
of them have telephones, steam heat and
porcelain bathtubs. One man raised last
year $50 bushels Of potatoes from each Of
3z5 acres. He could have covered city
block il New York foot deep with his po-
tatoes, which were cultivated, dug and
sorted BIZ machinery, but gathered by

and Its twelve prisoners are mainly con
Victed Of petty ofenses..
Aroostock potatoes are exported to all
parts Of the world. Yet we import on an
average more potatoes than We sell abroad.

is likely to be. We believe in popular
