The Republicans have been going
the same reckless gait the Demo
Gratis went. Party leaders, party
spirit, party interest, need to be
admonished now and then by de-
feat, that there is a constitution,
that there is people, and that there
is a God; circumstance which, 10
the exultance of victory and the
arrogance of power, the leaders
are apt to forget.-Louisville
Courier. j ournal.
We are glad to note that Mr..
Watterson has experienced a
change of heart and opinion in re-
gard to Mr.. Bryan. Perhaps, if
Mr.. Watterson could have fore
seen the radicalism Of a Roosevelt
administration, he would not have
opposed Mr.. Bryan in the past.
Mr.. Roosevelt was quick to see all
that was good in what Mr.. Bryan
advocated, and profit thereby.
1t is a pity that Mr.. Watterson
and other leaders in the Demo
cratic party could not realize the
same thing.
In 1896, it was the bid of the
Wall Street financiers that decided
the change in the St. Louis plat
form of tho Republican Party,
from free silver to the gold stand
ard. Mr.. Bryan had never been
as strong q free silver advocate as
Mr.. Mckinley, and when MIR. Mo-
Kinley, was informed of the change
that was to De made in the plat
form upon which he was to 60
before the people, be acquiesced
only in the sense that he believed
his managers had decided what
was best to win with in a prcsi-
Dental campaign. and not because
he bad altered his opinion or be.
lief in free silver. Of the two
men, Bryan and Mckinley, Mr..
Mckinley was the strongest ad.
vocate free silver ever had.
Yet Mr.. Bryan was cruci6ed for
his silver plank, why? because the
Wall Street financiers were in a
position to tighten the strings on
the Democratic leaders as we'll as
on the Republican leaders, and
then was given birth the "Gold
Democracy"
All this, though, is of the past.
The Democratic Party has suffered
for it's betrayal. 1t now remains
for o united democracy to get to-
getber and fight for the principles
of Jefferson and a better and
stronger democracy, true party
Of the people and for the people.

DOCTORS MISTAKES

Are said often to be buried six feet under
ground. But many times women call on
their family physicians, suffering, as they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from
heart disease, another from liver or kid

and in this way they present alike to
themselves and their easy-going or over

his pills and potions. In reality, they are

adelphia, and the undertaker's first or
ders were to embalm the body. He
had no sooner embalmed it than he re-
ceived a telegraphic order to cremate
1t. The incineration was done prompt
ly. Then he was instructed to send the
ashes, but this he declined to do until
the bill was paid In the meantime
trouble over the dead mans will had
broken out in California, and nobody
was paying bills just then. So a pecu-
liar state of affairs came to pass. The
urn with his wife's ashes-which rat
tied lonesomely around in their ample
receptacle-was produced as evidence
in court, while the husbands ashes
were held in Philadelphia as security
for the undertaker's bill.
Helen Bertram, who was a member
of the Bostonians, was credited with
carrying her husbands ashes around
her neck in a chamois bag. AS the
ashes from full grown body weighs
from three to five pounds it is doubt
full if the singer carried more than a
small sample of her husband suspend
ed from her neck.
The highest price paid for an urn
in which to deposit ashes was $4,000
and this was put up by a Pittsburg
widow. A rich London woman paid
SO, 900 to have her pet Yorkshire ter
rier cremated and the ashes placed in
an urn.-Exchange

when he convened court at one of the
towns on his circuit it was found that
no pens, ink or paper had been pro-
vided and upon inquiry it developed
that no county funds were available
for this purpose. The judge expressed
himself somewhat forcefully, then
drew some money from his own pock-
ct. He was about to hand this to the
clerk when a visiting lawyer, a high
priced, imported article then brought
on to defend a case of some import

contempt, I've seen some pretty bad

The old judge flushed darkly.
You are fined twenty-five dollars
for contempt, sir! Hand the money to
the clerk" he said and when the POM
pous visitor had humbly complied he
continued:
Now, Mr.. Clerk go out and gel
what pens and ink and paper this
court may require and if there is any
thing left over you can give the gentle

more free from compiaipt than other phases of life. The cuitivation of jus tice and generosity and the discours agement of fault t-finding in all walks and at all times might help to make things go more smoothly In the street cars.
 It occurs to us that the esteemed Standard sets up rather weak defence for the ili-mannered New Workers and it may be possible that the men of it's own city are tarred with the same stick. Of course if man is unable to stand he should not be expected to do 30. and no right-thinking woman would require it of him, but the fact that he is tired from hard days work is no excuse for his remaining in his seat while a woman or girl Is forced to stand. Leaving out for the moment all question of courtesy. it should always be borne in mind that many of the women seen on the cars are tired and worn by day of hard work more try ing to them than anything the men have gone through. Finally. as a self evident proposition. no true gentleman is going to remain in his seat in car and allow woman to stand. even though New York male citizens do so.

 Many druggists in prohibition ter ritory are now for the first time pay ing special taxes as liquor dealers un- der the new regulations covering the so-called 'bitters, malt. goods, tonics, nerve cures and like drinka ables," said MT. A. W. Roth of Cincinnati at the New Howard.
 '%rhe popularity of the drug store liquids arose from the fact that they contained goodly per cent of alcohol, some going as high as per rent. Uncle Sam now steps in with ruling that dealers in any of the booze sub- stitutes that have one-haif of per cent of alcohol must pay tax of {25 a year for each.
 "This policy Is going to have some interesting results. For one thing, it is going to give a powerful stimulus to the nroduction in the rural distT cts of hard elder The farmers are going to make in Ohio and all appls-gr0wlng States of the West and North mere hard cider than ever before. They can do so without coll!ding with Ary g.v- they can let the cider run up to where it is 10 per cent alcohol is they like and still sell 1t freely.
