and then a democratic administra- tion, until 1852, when Franklin Pierce became president, and in his hands and that of his success. sor, Buchanan, the party enjoyed two terms in power. During Pierce'S administration the Whig party collapsed on the slavery issue, and was succeeded by the Republican party, which arose upon popular a demand that slav- cry should be restricted within the region that it occupied at that time. It developed a great deal of strength in the election of 1856, and it carried the country in 1860 It's success was due greatly to the rupture of the Democratic party upon the very question that gave birth to the Republican party. While the Republican party stood against the expansion of slavery the Douglas wing of the Democratic party stood for leaving the adoption or rejection of slav- cry to the people of the new states as they were formed while the Breckenridge wing in- sisted that slave owners had as much right to take their slaves into the new regions opening to settle ment as theyss had to take their hors- es and oxen. With the election of Lincoln came the Civil War and abolition of slavery, during which period of trial and stress the victor ious North came to be almost solid ly Republican. Many men left the Democratic party who never returned to it's ranks, and since that time none of the Northern states have been consistently and reliably Democratic. A few are debatable ground and are carried by Democracy occasionally. And in all the half century since the days of slavery the Democratic party has been entrusted with supreme power but twice, and for very short period of time on each occasion. Only once has it had the executive and both branches ot the legislative power, and it re. tained the latter but two years.
 The marked distrust of the Democratic party shown in the outline in the foregoing paragraph springs from variety of causes No one of them may be suficien

The Elder Son.

Now his elder son was in the field; and has he
came and drew nigh to the house, he heard
music and dancing.
And he called one of the servants. and asked
what these things meant.
And they said unto him, Thy brother il come;
and thy father has killed the fattcd calf be.
cause he hath received him safe and sound
And he was angry and would not go in; there.
foie his father c fne out, entreated him. st.
Luke, 1925, 26,a7, as
The Elder son, in the parable of
the protligal, has never had much of
a show with the preachers. Very
generally and widely speaking, theo-
logians have found much more to
admire and to apologize for in the
prohigacy and pcccadilloes of the
younger son than in the industry and
circumspection OF his elder brother.
In the case of the prodigal, the
tendency to "hatc the sin and love
the sinner" has been so pervasivc as
to make that sentiment almost in
stinctive.
For all the centuries since the insti-
tuition of the "preached word" the
elder son has been, SO to speak,
pilloied before the gaze of the world
as "mere morallSt, or as a person
'.undcr the law and not ''undcr
grace" That is to say he fashioned
his life by rule rather than by
principle, and according to the
strictly evangelical idea, his situation,
spiritually, was not so hopeful as if he
had been frank and open sinner.
To go into discussion of personal
traits, the elder son was, first OF all
guilty OF bad form in talking to the
, servants about member OF his own
family. A well bred person would
never had done that. But his faul,
went much deeper than mere impro-
priety, though we may fancy that he
presented a spectacle far from lovely
as he pouchrd ont his lip and grew
red in the face, and sullcn in his
whole mien and expression when he
was told the cause of the merrimcn,
tHat he heard as he approached the
house. The very ugliest thing about
a man or woman is the betrayal Of a

Fatal Explosion At Windsor
Seven Killed, Thirty. nine Injured

An explosion occurred at the NJ,
*. & i. depot, Windsor, Mo-, Tues
day forenoon. wrecking the depot,
killing fonr and seriously injuring
wenty, or more. The dead are: +.
Wake, depot agent, J. G. Hall Trans
fer man, brakeman and tramp.
At least five OF the wounded are not
expected to live. The terrible "acci-
dent" was the result of joke. Loose
powder had been spilled on car
floor from some cans of blasting pow
der, and had been swept out on the
depot platform by drayman. Con-
ductor Hirsberger, to have little
fun with the waiting passengers and
loungers around the depot, threw a
lighted match into the heap, which
nared up and ignited the powder in
the cans, the entire contents Of the
car exploding with terrific force.
Conductor Hirsbcrger is among the
badly wounded, also Ernest Igo, OF
'Glensted.
The explosion was of such force
that it tore great hole in the ground
where the car stood and hurled pieces
OF the wrecked Car and depot in all
directions. The town was shaken as
if by an earthquake, and the explosion
was heard for radius Of fifty miles
Most OF the wreckage, fortunately,
was sent in the opposite direction
from the platform and depot, and tc
this fact may be laid the small loss o
lie.

New York. New Haven & Hartford Rail-
road and subsidiary trolley systems and
the Boston & Maine Railroad to prevent
the New Haven from acquiring the Ros-
ton & Maine and to dissolve the merger of
the New Haven and subsidiary trolley

ternoon before the full bench of the Unit
ed States district court. composed of
Judges LeBaron B. Colt of Providence.

The first question to he submitted will
be whether the fun bench shall continue
to hear the case, this primary question
being requested by Attorney General Bon
aparte. The New Haven Road has OBJ
jected to such proceedings on the ground
that the full bench does not constitute an

vides for the trial of such cases.
