Connecticut to the Rescue.

The Connecticut democrats, in state
convention have risen to the emergency,
They offer a solution of difficulty
which elsewhere has made men wrinkle
their brows with pain.
In one place the inquiry has been pro-
pounded. What is q democrat? In an
other place lament has been sounded
that there are more kinds Of democrats
than can be counted on. the fingers Of
both hands, In a third place the fear
has been expressed that it will be Inn
pos ible to bring all Of the varieties to-
gether for effective service this year.
In Connecticut the difficulty is met by
in6orsing all kinds Of democrats. Thomas
Jefferson democrats. Andrew Jackson
democrats. Grover Cleveland democrats
and William Jennings Bryan democrats
alike have their claims allowed. Nobody
who processes and calls himself a demo-
crat is left out in the cold. Come one
come all. There is room for the multi
tude In the Connecticut democracy's
house are many mansions.
1t does not matter that Mr.. Cleveland
denies Mr.. Bryan's democracy. and MI.
Bry an Mr.. Cleveland's. and yet that both
claim descent from Jefferson and Jackson.
That is a side issue-something for the
casuists to deal with and mystfy plain
people about. The point of value Is that
al democrats look alike this year in the
Connecticut atmosphere. and all are adj
jured to work together.
Observe, too, how former Gov. waller,
in an address to the convention. met the
occasion. He Is Clevelandite: was Tor
GOLD in 1904 and Ia still for gold. And
yet he told the convention that at Chi
cago when Mr.. Bryan made his speech
against gold he applauded as vigorously
as the Bryan men themselves. Why!
Because the speech was so eloquent and
the speaker SO earnest. A little thing
like the sentiment expressed was not per-
mitted to stand between Gov. Waller and
the man who was tickling his ears with
tall tank. j.
There are many different brands of
democrats, and feeling in the different
camps runs high. If anything Is plain
at this time Of acrimonious confusion 1t
is that the factions by some means must
be brought together IL this years COP
test on the part Of the democracy Is to
be worthy OF the name. But how about
the proper means? Everything depends
upon that point. Is this Connecticut Of
ferins the thing? Or 10 it only q wooden
nutmeg?

Value Of the Militia at Home.

He also told Mr.. Nevada that he had
sent $1,000 to his brother in Hungary
to repair and improve his small farm
In his native land, and that now his
brother claimed he gave him the
money as present. To straighten
out the matter he sent his wife to
Hungary last week to secure the
money. He said Tot owned small
farm near New Philadelphia and had
the $500 cash and a small place in
Hungary. He was a miner and for
number of years worked in the Cres-
cent mine near Barton, and had been
in this country probably twenty-five
years. He was member of the Slav-
ish society which pays $1,000 death
benefit
The man was very hard of hearing
and this accounts for his failing to
hear the train.
The body will be held until relatives
are communicated with regarding the
