Reasonable md Fair.

Perhaps the declaration in regard to
the tariff is second to no other para
graph of the platform. Pledging The
Presidential nominee as soon as he be-
comes President to call a special session
ct Congress for the purpose of revising
the tariff, it proceeds to declare in def
lite the unequiyocal terms how that
revision shall be done. The differences
between the cost of production at home
and abroad with a reasonable profit is
to be the measure in determining how
high the tariff is to be fixed for each
article enumerated, and this will satisfy
the manufacturer. the worki1gman. ar.
the farmers of the country, for it ie-
sures the home market to home manu-
facturers and producers, guarantees
good wages, and at the same time, and
what is highly important, pledges TO
give the protected interests only rea-
sonable profit. The tariff has been crit
icised mainly because it is alleged that
some protected interests have been able
TO secure more than a reasonable profit.
Even if that has been the case the Plat
form adopted last week pledges that
only a reasonable profit shall be BRO
vided by the tariff schedules. No fair
minded man should ask less and no
honest man demand more.-Dayenport

There are white broadcloth costumes
braided in black, but these are rather
too conspicuous to be favorites with
women who have but few gowns. 1t is
thought more desirable to braid a dark
costume with light colored braid in
order that the braid may be removed
at some future time and the gown worn
with a contrasting coat.

There is a growing tendency at fash

with grown-up bridesmaids and substi-

An Uncanny Plant.

On the shores Of Lake Nicaragua is
to be found an uncanny product of the
vegetable kingdom known among the
natives by the expressive name Of ''the
devils moose" Dunstan, the natural
ist, discovered it while wandering on
the shores of the lake. Attracted by
cries of pain and terror from his dog
he found the animal held by black,
sticky bands, which had chafed the
skin to the bleeding point These bands
were branches Of newly discovered
carnivorous plant, which has been aptly
named the ''land octopus" The branch
es are flexible, black, polished, without
leaves, and secrete a viscid fluid.

POIiC0| Comment.
Bryanized Democracy.

In the complete triumph Of Mr.. Bryan
at Denver we have the coasummation
of movement begun twelve years ago
at Chicago. This movement has been
nothing less than the overslaughing Of
democracy by populism. The spirit Of
populism achieved victory in the NOM
ination Of Bryan il 1896. Again it
achieved a victory in his nomination in
1900. accompanied by full Endorsement
of the radical 1896 platform. In 1904
the more conservative forces of de-
mOcracy dominated the hour, winning
over Bryan at the St. Louis convention.
But it was the last stand of old democ-
racy; and with the defeat of Parker
its last hope Of party dominance and of
popular success crept into its grave.
Since the overwhelming defeat OF
Parker, conservative democracy has
been thing without a prospect or a
hope. To-day Organism, which is only
a synonym for pOpuIism and radicalism,
is in complete command of the situa-
ton. OF the old time democracy, the
democracy of the day of our grand
fathers, the democracy of Cleveland
and-tO bring the case up to date-the
democracy of Judge CARRIER of Cali
fornia, Of Asahel Bush of Oregon, of
President Eliot of Massachusetts, there
is nothing left but the memory. He
who to-day calls himself a Democrat
must confess himself a supporter Of the
whole scheme of extreme policies once
named populism, later characterized as
Bryanism- and now fairly entitled, since
final triumph yields possession, to the
name if not the fame of democracy.
The Democratic party Of to-day is
not the Democratic party of another
time. 1t is another thing, founded in
different conceptions, prompted by other
motives, aiming at other ends. 1t is
in truth nothing better than populism in
the stolen garments of historic democ-
racy. And since the Democratic party
of to-day is no longer the Democratic
party of tradition and OF conservative
principle, it affords no place or stand
ing room for Democrats or the old fash.
ion. Your conservative Democrat like
those we have named must either accept
populism, Organism, radicalism, or he
must seek new political affiliations. He
has no chOice-he must change his prin-
ciples or change his party.-San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

After a special jury had answered

the damage suit of Roco Sricho VS.. the
Wilmington City Electric Company.
the case was continued for trial at the
next term with general leave to amend
on both sides.
The continuance was unexpected,
and followed a combination of circum-
stances which necessitated the devel%
opment First a number Of the Jurors
failed to answer, among thin being
Eugene Paxton, summoned from PEN
cader hundred Walter H. Hayes, of
counsel for the defense, informed the
court that Mr.. Paxton had moved out
of the hundred. Judge Spruance re-
piled that Mr.. Paxton should have an

moned. The second development was
a motion by Robert II. Richards. who

tiff's counts, but when Andrew c. Gray

that such an order would change the
issues in the case. Mr.. Hilles forced
matters By declaring that the defend

Wilmington City Railway Company to
be the defendant instead Of the Will

Judging from the array OF brilliant
legal talent engaged in the case the
trial gives promise Of being full of in

injury was due TO the carelessness Of
