one means adversely, while the other
means prosperity; one means low
wages. the other high; one means
doubt and debt. the other means conf
dence and thrift.
In principle the difference between
Democracy and Republicanism is that
one stands for vacillation and timid-
ity in government, the other for
strength and purpose; one stands for
obstruction. the other for construc-
ton; one promises, the other performs;
one finds fault, the other finds work.
Tendency Toward Socialism.
The present tendencies of the two
parties are even more marked by in
herent differences. The trend of
Democracy is toward socialism. while
the Republican party stands for wise
and regulated individualism. Social
ism would destroy wealth. Republic
anism would prevent its abuse. Social
ism would give to each an equal right
to take; Republicanism would give to
each an equal right to earn. Socialism
would offer an equality of possession
which would soon leave no one any
thing to possess; Republicanism would
give equality of opportunity which
would assure to each his share of
constantly increasing sum of posses
sions. In line with this tendency, the
Democratic party of to-day believes
in government ownership, while the
Republican party believes in govern
ment regulation. Ultimately. Democ-
racy would have the nation own the
people while Republicanism would have
the people own the nation.
"Upon This We Appeal to Country"
Upon this platform of principles and
purposes, reaftirming our adherence
to every Republican doctrine pro-
claimed since the birth of the party,
we go before the country, asking the
support not only of those who have
acted with us heretofore, but of all
our fellow citizens. who. regardless of
past political differences. unite in the
desire to maintain the policies. perpet-
uate the blessings and make secure
the achievements of a greater America

AN INSECT TRAGEDY.
The Nest the Mother Butterfly Builds
Fer Her Youna

" t'Si bSduS.
There is something really pathetic in
the way mother butterfly builds IL
nest for her children. In the first
place. the little home where the eggs
are deposited represents a great deal
of sacrifice. for it is lined with several
layers of down plucked from the moth
er's own soft body The eggs having
been laid carefully upon this luxurious,
pretty couch. are protected by an
equally pretty coverlet made of the
same material.
These butterfly bedclothes are often
arranged with an intricacy that is quite
curious and perpleXing. Sometimes a
bed is made SO that each separate deli
cate hair stands upright. thus giving
the entire nest the appearance of lit
tie brush of downy fur Then again
the eggs are laid Spiraly round tiny
branch. and. as the covering follows
their course. the effect resembles the
bushy tail of fox, only the nest is
more beautiful than the brush of the
finest fox that ever roamed over coun-
try.
The building of this downy nest is the
latest earthly labor of the mother but
terfy. for by the time it is completed
her own delicate body is denuded of its
natural covering and there is nothing
left for her to do but die. a sacrifice
which she promptly and herocally
makes in the interest of the coming
butterfly generation.

AN ISLAND OF MAssAcREs.
Over Five Million People Have Been
ASsassinated In Haiti,

Haiti has been the scene of more
massacres than any other place on
earth.
They began with the coming Of Co

lowed him. In few years its 3,OOO,-
600 gentle. brown skinned inhabitants
had persisted utterly, exterminated by
fire and sword and by forced labor in
the mines, to which they were utterly
unsuited. In all history is no tragedy
more colossal and more pitiful than
this one.
Next the buccaneers seized the I'M
happy island and wreaked vengeance
Oh the Spaniards in such a manner
that even the Old chroniclers tell of the
worst of the atrocities only in the Latin
tongue.
Presently came the French. and for a
brief space there was some Semblance

volted and murdered practically all the
whites. the scenes enacted resembling
those that took place at Cawnpore and
elsewhere during the Indian mutiny.
