They have discovered that he stands
for the best interests of the republic,
for the best interests of democracy, for
the best interests of every citizen, no
matter how humble his calling or
position in life. A newly restored,
revivified, revitalized democratic party
now confronts the scandal SCARED
officeholders who constitute the verte
brate of the republican party. Every
hour accessions to its ranks are chroni-
cled, and these accessions increase with
the spread of information concerning
the meaning of each seperate plank in
the platform. Success is sure to come
to the national democratic candidates
if every loyal democrat, now fully com
mitted to the cause, earnestly and
eleregetically appeals to independent
friends and neighbors to assist in re-
storing what they have not enjoyed in
recent years, "a government of, by
and for the people" Everywhere
there should be democratic organization,
earnestness, harmony and effective
effort. 1t means not only the triumph
of a reVivified democracy, but of free
people as well.-Eastern Exchange.

Flying Fish.

- Flying Fish. .. !:
Interesting are the habits of the fly
ing fish, that queer denisen of the sea
found principally In the region of the
trade winds. "Does it rise from the sea
like a bfrd?' you ask. Ne. 1t shoots
out Of the waves like an arrow, and
with eutspreading wings sails on the
wind in graceful curves, rising some
times, one might say, to the height of
fifteen feet, but not often so high, and
then, lowering, it again touches the
crest Of a wave and renews its fight.
This operation may be repeated till it
covers q distance, say, of 500 yards in
the case Of the stoutest on the wing,
though very often not half that dis
tance Is covered. A ship sailing
through the trade winds will often be
visited on dark nights by, flying fish
which hit the sails or rigging and fall
on deck, where of course they soon
give up life.-St. Nicholas.

The trouble arose in the ninth in.

l. New York was at bat. Chicago
had made run in the fifth. Nc
Graw's men had followed suit in the
sixth with run. : -..
In the latter half Of the ninth
with two out, McCirunick On third,
and Merkle on first base, Bridwell
smashed a single to center, scoring
McCorRick, the batter being declar-
ed safe at first. Just then the
crowd. wild with excitement, ran on
the field and Captain Chance of the
Chicago team claimed that Merkle
did not 60 to second. He and Ev-
ers ran after the ball there to claim
q force but .McGinRity caught the
sphere eng. the crowd and threw
it into left field. Merkle insisted
that he had touched second base
and the Chicago players were equal
ly positive that he had not done so.
Chance claimed the run did not
count as there was SO much inte-
ference that. his men could not gel
control Of the ball. Umpire Emile
was judging base running and is
credited with saying that he did not
see whether Merkle went to second
or nSt.
O'Day later on declared that the
run did not count.
The umpires are expected to make
report to President Pulliam at
