When ever the democratic adher-
ents of democratic faith go into con-
vention or election, regardless of the
issues in the party that may divide
them, it always has been. is now and
ever will be a fundamental principle
of the party that the will of the ma
jority is the law of the whole There
may be some who will refuse to sub
scribe to that doctrine but this pa
per has nothing to do with such
faction. Our democracy has manifes-
ted itself through a long period of
years and we pride ourselves upon
its purity. When some who are now
yiciously denouncing the policy of
this paper and attempting to injure
its business interests were following
after isms and cisms we were 60
ing along the even tenor of our
way fighting for democracy, and it is
just as certain that We will be pur-
suing and teaching democratic faith
when they have switched off on
another side track. In the campaign
just closed We have stood for those
things which we believed were for
the best interest of the party, but
the party has spoken, the majority
has said that we We're in error, and
for the time being the question is
settled We hold to our beliefs and
disbeliefs but above all else we hold
to be democrat.
The size of the majority which
crowns with victory one alignment
of the democrats in Texas, be it large
or small, has nothing to do with the
case. The Fort Worth ticket has been
safely elected and every democrat
should accept the verdict, The issues
over which the contest was waged
had to do only with one man, and
that man having been sustained by
the votes of the party is entitled to
receive, as the nominee of the party,
the vote of every democrat
This talk of divided party be-
cause of the differences that existed
is the merest twaddle, and should
be rebuked in unmeasured terms,

interests by appealing to either side

WINGED us of fact that there are two
distinct kinds of coughs-one proceed
ing from an affection of the lungs and

The stomach cough is a much more
simple matter and may easily be got

A LEAP TO FAME.
The Story Of Stuffed Cat In ths
Smithsonian Institution.

In the Smithsonian institution at
Washington is a case containing a
stuffed cat. A card attached to the
case, setting forth the reasons why
this particular feline is known to fame
gives official sanction to a tale that is
in every respect as remarkable as any
emanating from the nature fakirs
The story Of the cat is as follows:
Many years ago. while the Washing
ton monument was still in an unfin
ished condition, an adventurous and
patriotic cat assembled the interior of
the shaft by means of the ropes and
scaffolding. When the workmen ar
rived at the upper landing the next
morning and began to prepare for the
days work the cat took fright and
springing to the outer edge took the
leap of over 500 feet to the hard earth
below
In the descent. which was watched
closely by the workmen. the cat spread
herself out like flying squirrel. fe,i
slowly and alighted as cats always do
on all tours. After turning over on the
soil few times as if dazed she pre-
pared to leave the grounds She had
proceeded almost beyond the shadow
of the monument when a stray terrier
pounced upon and killed her.
One of the workmen rescued the re
mains Of the cat and turned them over
to the Smithsonian institution. which
caused the skin to be mounted and
placed under the glass case.-Youth's

HAYMARKET ANNIVERSARY
Plan for an Open Air
Demonstration.


Chicago, May Chicago anar-
chists will attempt to hold an open
air mass meeting tonight to COM
memorate the anniversary of the
Haymarket Square riot in Chicago,
May 4, 1SS6.sIt is likely that the po-
lice will attempt to break up the
meeting, and a repetition of the re-
cent Union Square riot in New York
is feared. Seven policemen were kill
ed and about sixty persons injured
in the famous Haymarket affair. A
monument marks the spot where the
policemen fell and the anarchist
sympathizers have also erected a
monument. 1t is in the vicinity of
that memorial to their dead he
roes' that the reds hope to hold to-
nights demonstration.
The Chicago riot of May 4, 1886,
which eliminated in the throwing of
a bomb and the firing of revolvers at
the police by the so-called anarchists
was the result of violent public in
element on the part of socialistic
leaders. Serious rioting had already
occurred the day before in conse-
quence of the strike of the railway
freight handlers and the efforts of
other men to replace them.
An open-air meeting was called by
the leaders in the old Hay Mar
ket on Randolph street. August
Spies, A. r. Parsons and others ad-
dressed the crowd in inflammatory
language. While the latter was
speaking four patrol wagons filled
with policemen We're seen approach
ing.
Three bombs were suddenly
thrown among the police. They ex-
ploded instantly and five policemen
fell and many policemen and social
lists were wounded. The police open
ed fire with their revolvers upon the
crowd and the rioters returned their
fire, also with revolvers. A desperate
fight followed, but the police at
length cleared the ground.
Two policemen were found to be
dead, five mortally wounded and "a
dangerously wounded
OF the socialistlc leaders, two bro
theirs named Spies, Samuel Fielden,
Michael Schwab, Adolph Fischer,
George Engel, Albert R. Parsons,
Oscar Weber and Louis Ling were
arrested. The actual bomb thrower,
supposed to be one Schnaubelt, was
never caught. Ling committed sui
eide in prison by blowing the top of
his head off with a small bomb Au-
gust Spies. Fischer, Engel and Par
sons were hanged as Schnaubel's ac-
complies November II, 1887. Fiel-
den and Schwab were sentenced for
life and Weebe for 8 years.
For many years a fierce controver-
sy has been waged over the justice
of the execution of Spies, Fischer,
Engel and Parsons. In book on the
subject by late Governor Altgeld of
Illinois, declared that the hanging
of the reds was nothing short of le-
gal murder. Many other prominent
legal authorities have expressed the
same opinion, while others equally
eminent have defended the justice
and legality of the sentence.
