WARNING TO THE DEMOCRACY.

Republicanism has acted at Chicago,
Populism, i'll disguised as Democracy,
expects soon to denote its action in Den
yer. Populism will there overcome
real Democracy or be overcome by it,
Populism is there likely to overcome
Democracy and to masquerade in its
stolen clothes. While awaiting the re-
suit The Eagle can frankly say that
kepubicanism at Chicago has present.
ed to real and true Democracy a choice
OF men, of platforms and of methods
distinctly preferable to any dominant
or to any merely diluted Populism that
Denver may disclose and that Denver
probably will.-Brooklyn Eagle dem.

AN OPPONENTS GOOD OPINION.

If Mr.. Taft should be elected Presi-
dent of the United States it is rea-
sonable assumption that he will under
take to carry out in good faith the poll
cles OF his predecessor. In making
this suggestion we do not impute to Mr..
Taft any lack of independence or inita-
tive. He has convictions, and we do
not doubt that he has the courage to
stand up for them.-Baltimore Sun

A WINNER.

The outcome is one of the best that
could have been suggested, and we have
no doubt that Mr.. Roosevelt, as well as
thousands of other men of affairs in
this country, feels so today.
Taft is a winner. He has a history
Of success in his career. And now that
he has been put in nomination Republi-
cans should work for him. He is a true
type of the American citizen, who
stands for the principles of the glorious
Republican party.-New Haven Palla-

THEY DIFFER, AS USUAL.

Inc Democrats are proving true to
their record of never agreeing upon
anything by the estimate they have
been putting upon the character and
merits of the platform the Republicans
have just adopted in National Conven-
ton at Chicago. 1t is true that the
Democratic newspapers and leaders.
from Mr.. Bryan down, agree that the
platform is a very weak and vicious pro.
nouncement, but they differ very essen
TALLY as to what makes it weak and
wicked.
Before the National Convention was
held the Democratic journals, pretty
generally, were shouting themselves
hoarse over the idea that the platform
would be dictated by President Roose-
welt and crammed down the throats of
the delegates to the convention. Having
gotten that idea into their heads, MANY
newspapers still cling to it and make it
one of the chief reasons for pungent
criticism. But Mr.. Bryan has come for
ward and made these critics ridiculous.
He has already published two very
lengthy assaults upon the Chicago Plat
form mot his Chicago platform of 1896.
and his chief objection to the platform
of the Republicans is that it does not
respond to the demands of President
Roosevelt. So we have Mr.. Bryan's
followers and supporters, both genuine
and spurious Bryanites, occupying one
position and their boss holding another
The most ridiculous criticism, how
ever, that has been published upon the
Republican platform was furnished by
Colonel Watterson in the columns of the
Courier-Journal. He declares that the
platform is an imposture, a meaning
less thing, and then asserts that it is
largely constructed out of timbers
stolen from Mr.. Bryan's backyard. "
Colonel Watterson is now supporting
Mr.. Bryan for the presidency, though
he refused to do so 1895, and will have
to accept platform that will be con.
structed entirely from Mr.. Bryan's
backyard.
If the Republican platform is so weak.
80 meaningless, why have Mr.. BRYAN
and the Democratic newspapers been
so quick to hurl their darts of criticism
at it. If it is the poor thing they would
have intelligent voters believe it to be.
it would fall from its own weakness.
and the Democrats could save all their
invective rhetoric to use upon some
ivelier object or subject. 1t is the
strength of this platform, its bold but
conservative tone, its enunciation of
Republican principles and defiance of
radical Organism that awaken alarm in
the Democratic ranks. The platform
suits Republicans. If it does not suit
the Democrats no better proof could be
offered of its goodness. Republicans
do not stand for what Bryan and the
modern Democracy advocate. That's
what the national platform intends to
show, and it shows it.

of his party, under the
I'D leadership of such men
Jennings Bryan, he lived to
e Democracy abandon the ortho-
dox faith and become "a disorganized
mass of humanity" representing all the
political isms known in this country.
He remained true to his convictions, and
will live in the history of our country as
a statesman of strong WILL but of hon
est, independent purpose. Though for
the last twelve years of his life he was
apparently deserted by his party, there
had stood by and rallied around him
many thousands of Democrats who re-
fused to accept the leadership of Bryan
or subscribe to the false doctrines which
he promulgated under the false title of
Jeffersonian Democracy.
Mr.. Cleveland was not a brilliant or
scholarly man, but he was honest,
painstaking, and a profound thinker. 1t
must have been very humiliating to him
to have the party he had rescued from
its low estate turn upon and rend him.
No more disgraceful conduct has ever
been known in any political party than
that which was extended by the Demo-
Gratis to Mr.. Cleveland. The Chicago
Platform of 1896 was vicious. in many
particulars, but the assaults it made
upon Mr.. Cleveland, the Democratic
President of the United States, were
simply infamous. The very men who
had profted by his victories, when they
found his political star waning, began to
Islander and hate him. Ingratitude, the
basest sentiment of the human heart,
characterized the conduct of the Bryan
Democracy toward Mr.. Cleveland. This
was his sorrow, but it was their shame.

Caring Descent TO Co a View of an
Osprey's Nest.

~ P4'-y , iNSShs
Now commenced my work, and de-
scended on my rope to terrace after
terrace, forcing my way through thick
rows of prickly pear, most painful
operation. And now we found that
there was nobody below to signal us
where the nest lay. The inevitable re-
suit was that after descending more
than 100 feet | had to signal to be
hauled up again, always through the
prickly pear. Again did l descend,
and again did l fail to find the nest
On the third occasion | reached a re-
cess in the great cliff, whence, after
unbending my rope and securing it to
bush for obvious reasons, | made a
cast along u ledge TO the south and
reached point which | identified as
being not far from the nest as seen
from below So | retraced my steps
and, regaining my rope, was hauled
up for third time. During this OPP
GRAFTON | passed a ledge where pere-
CRIME falcon was nesting. The old
female swept close around with shrill
cries and eventually alighted on the
sandy shelf of rock within n few feet
of me and. with outspread wings and
every feather standing on end, low
cred her head and screamed furiousiy.
l have no doubt | was close to her
young, but | had more serious work in
hand, and so | left her alone.
| now made my fourth and last
descent and found myself immediate
ly over the nest, but before | could go
down to it the party handling the rope
had to work their way down toward
me. since the rope was too short. FL
nally l reached the nest, an enormous
mass of big sticks measuring more
than five feet across and doubtless the
result of many years work. In 1t were
two eggs much incubated. BY stan,l-
ing on a ledge close to the nest and
pressing the camera between my body
and the face of the cliff was able to
take some long time exposures with
fairly good results. 1t was near sun
set, and the cliff was in deep shadow,
which did not facilitate my task. Be-
tween the Snaly nature OF the cllt, the
slippery terraces covered with loose
soil and stones and the detestable
pricldy pears | never had a more I'M
pleasant or arduous task on cliff be-
fore. But have lived to endure worse
experiences, although not so painfully
protracted as were these.
My very curt entry in my diary sum
marizes the whole job thus: Bad shale
cliffs, vertical and dangerous Height
over sea, 100 feet Top of cliff, 80
feet. The worst bit of rope work l
ever did"
With regard to the prickly pears. it
was many months before the last of
the poisonous spines l had collected in
various parts of my body consented to
come out, and then only after first fes-
tering.-London Saturday Review.

COIN NOTICES.
Inscriptions That Were a Joy to the
cynics and Critics.

Inscriptions hat Were a Joy to the
cynics and Critics.
A collection of coin notices gathered
by an italian student, Amerigo Scar
latti. eas published in Minerva, an
Italian periodical. Scarlatti is of the
opinion that such inscriptions. though
not Intended to be cynical too often
Sdmit of such an Interpretation through
the irresistible habit of the public of
ignoring the intention of the designer
and applying the motto to the coin it
self
Thus when Charles H., king of the
two Sicilies. had engraved on his sill
yer ducat the Latin words "Unus non
Sufficit," meaning "One is not enough"
all the world insisted on forgetting
that the king referred to a single scep-
ter and enthusiastically agreed with
him that one ducat wasn't enough for
any one.
On the contrary, storm of ironical
opposition was aroused when Louis de
Bourbon. king of Etruria, in the early
part of the last century inscribed wi
deant Pauperes ct Lactentur" on his
coins. The words mean Let the poor
see and rejoice" and of course every
one wanted TO know why poor man
should rejoice at merely seeing a piece
of money.
On the papal coinage of 1878 bearing
the arms of Gregory XIII. are the
words EFT Super Hanc Petram" land
upon this rock. OF course the pope
and the artist who designed the coin
meant the words to refer to the papa
cy, but the evil minded applied them
so maliciously to the coin itself that
the issue was speedily stopped. A sim
ilar opportunity for evil tongues was
afforded when the knights of Malta
coined an issue of dollars with the sign
of their order, the Maltese cross, and
their motto, I'm Hoe Signo Miitamus"
On this sign we combat. The ribad
affected to take it as a confession that
with them money was truly the sinew
| of war
A Venetian Ira dated 1874 has the
somewhat ambiguous motto I'm Tibi
Solo Gieria" ITO thee alone the glo-
~. A seqain coined by Cardinal Rez-
gonico in I'm bears the words ''Veni
Lumen Cordilm," or Come, thou light
of hearts," Clement NJ. issued a coin
with an image of the Madonna, with
the legend "5ausa Nostrae Laetitiae"
cause of olr joy. and a Venetian
piece with an allegorical figure of JUS
tice, with the words "Nostra in hac
elicitas" Our his ,piness in this. All
of these inscriptions were irrevently
diverted by contemporaries from their
true object to the money itself.

Financial Prosperity and Its Worries
and Perplexities.
Once upon time a young man and
girl loved each other fondly. He
was poor, but bright. energetic and
persevering She was pretty, cheerful
and amiable. They married. Their
friends thought they might have wait
ed until their prospects were better,
but they laughed prudence to scorn.
Two years after the marriage the
wife met one of her friends.
How are you getting alongT" asked
the friend
Every nicely" said the wife, beaming
"My husband is so good, and l have
such lovely baby. And, just think,
we have $1,000 in the bank, and we
don't owe a cent to anybodyr'
Five years later the friend met her
again.
81 hear you are doing very WELL"
she said. Some one told me your
husband had $4,000 invested in real
estate"
"Why, yes" said the wife, "but it's
such worry. There are repairs and
taxes and interest on mortgages, and
one of the tenants has just moved out
owing us a whole months rent. Isn't
it shame"
Five years more elapsed, and again
the friend met her.
"They tell me you're growing rich,"
she said.
"Ye-es, but I'm anxious about the
stock market. My husband has $4,000
in stocks, and he thinks they're going
up, but I'm not so sure about 1t. In
deed, didn't sleep wink last night"
Five years later-another meeting.
"From what l hear your husband
will soon be a millionaire"
"Oh, l don't KNOW" said the wife.
"He hasn't more than half a million
vet And it is so tied up in all sorts
of investments-one never knows how
they will turn out. | just wish we
had enough to put the money in gov
eminent bonds so that we wouldn't
have to worry. But of course the in
come from half million in govern
ment bonds wouldn't be enough to
make both ends meet. And yet, do
you know, some people have such
absurd notions about the amount Of
money we have! One crank has even
sent letter to my husband threaten
ing to shoot him just because he Is
rich. declare, sometimes I'm so wor-
ried don't know what to do"
1t would be pleasant to give this
story happy ending, but that isn't
the kind 1t had. This lady's wealth
continued to increase as long as she
lived, and she never ceased to be I'M
easy except in those brief intervals
when she forgot all about it.-Bohe

A STRENUOUS RULER.
Daring, Goodness and Bravery Of
James w. Of Scotland.

James ~. or scotland,
One of the interesting characters Of
history is James ", king of Scotland
from 1913 to 1913 He was athletic,
rageous and fond of adventure. In
putting down instructions and i'm
proving the criminal administration of
the country he was foremost in the
ranks and did not shun hand to hand
contest. lie married daughter of
Henry VII. of England and made a
treaty which secured peace between
the two countries. lie labored to build
mp navy and develop commerce and
showed skillful diplomacy in dealing
with other nations He was killed in
battle at Flodden, where his army
was disastrously defeated by Henry
VIII.
Those We're strenuous times, when 1t
was necessary for king to be fight
er and to inspire his obstreperous sub
jects with some degree of terror. King
James used often TO go about the coun-
try in different DISCUSSES not only be-
cause he loved adventure, but because
he could thus secure information on
the state of the nation at first hand.
1t is related of the vigorous Scottish
king that once when wandering through
the hills during the night he was over
| taken by a violent storm and was
| obliged to take shelter in cavern near
| Wemys. which is one of the most re-
| markable antiquities of Scotland. Hav-
ing advanced some way in, the king
| discovered Il number of men and wo-
men ready TO begin to roast a sheep for
supper. From their appearance he sus-
pected that he had fallen into evil COM
! pany, but as ii was then too late he
asked hospitality from them till the
tempest was over. They granted it
and invited the king, who was I'M
known to them, to sit down and join
them at supper. They were a notori-
Gus band of robbers and cutthroats,
and this fact soon dawned upon James.
AS soon as they had finished their
supper one of them presented a plate
on which two daggers were laid in the
| form of a st. Andrews cross, telling
| the king that this was the dessert they
always served to strangers; that he
must choose one of the daggers and
fight him whom the company selected
as his antagonist The king realizing
that he was to be murdered, instantly
seized both daggers one in each hand,
and plunged them into the hearts of
the two robbers nearest to him. He
then dashed out of the cave and made
his escape, returning as soon as pos
sible with body of soldiers, by whom
the whole band was arrested and pub
licly hanged. -PunXsutawney Spirit.

TOMORROW'S BIRTHPLACE.
Line In the Pacific Where 1t Shakes
HANDS With Yesterday.

Most people who have read Jules
Verne's around the World In Eighty
Days" viii remember how narrowly
the traveller missed his bet, having for
gotten that in following the sun from
east to west he had gained one day.
When one crosses the Atlantic from
London to New York he gains rather
more than half an hour each day.
From New York to Chicago another
hour is gained, another to Denver, an
other to San Francisco which is reck
oning time eight hours later than Lon
don and of course the best part Of
day later than Shanghai and Yokoha-
ma. In crossing the Pacific there
comes time when the day begins,
where yesterday and tomorrow shake
hands and where the traveller is cheat
ed out of day in his life.
In mid-Pacific, going west, one skips
from Sunday to Tuesday. Going east
two Sundays or Tuesdays, as the case
may be.
The line of the changing day IS not
a straight one. The islands in the Pa
cific take their time from the continent
with which they trade and from which
they were discovered. Thus the line
of the change zigzags down the Pa
cific from south to north, lodging be-
tween the islands.
Hence it might easily happen that a
ship which has already skipped day
would reach an island which clings to
San Francisco time. In such a case it
would be Monday on shore and Tues
day on the ship.
If the ships jolly boat were lying at
wharf, it would be Monday on the
wharf and Tuesday on the boat.
And if person lives somewhere
near the line he can get sailboat and
visit yesterday and tomorrow in the
most delightful fashion.
