Cleveland in 1899, and although is was not successful this year, we have nothing of which to be ashamed or re- gret so far as the part we took in this campaign is concerned. We voted our honest convictions regardless, of the rich viands Mir. Dale seems to be hun- gering and thfrsting after. which is the highest function and most sacred duty on an American citizen. If we cannot carry an election without sacrificing principle; without prostituting our hon. est convictions to the corrupt and de- basing influences of wealth and corpor- ate greed to gain . temporary lease or political power. then may God with hold from the Democratic Party forever victory bought at such . price "To thine own self be true" says Mir. @AA0&S@k81A~s VI MA4 ~ ktA1SI A0NSW 0o tAu night the day. thou cans't not then be false to any man..

To all such would mildly suggest that a good dose of. party loyalty would prove a valuable prescription. Whenever the American people are induced solely by the hope of temporary gain, or are fore ed by stress of circumstances to smoth- CT their honest convictions and suffer themselves to be led to the polls and voted to obtain these ends, then this glorious republic which has been the pride of our ancestry and which is the hope of posterity. will be close on the confines of the grave.

TO FAT OLD BOND,
United states Court of AppeiIs Decides
 Against BfrminGham BGan.


 United States Court Of AppeaIs Decides
 Against BfrminGhzm 1zan.
 Birmingham, Dec. S--(Special. )-By decision just handed down by the Court of Appeals tn New Orleans, M |. Noojin, of Birmingham. will have to pay a bond of $500 which is dated seven teen years ago.
 In 1891, Mir. Noojin went on the bond of one J. J. Burns. who was under in- dictment in the United States District Court. Burns failed to put in an ap- pearaneef and proceedings were begun to recover on the bond. These proceed ings were continued. although Burns was subsequently, acquitted
 A judgment was obtained on March 10. 1892. which was substquently waived upon condition of payment of costs. The costs were not paid. and & writ for the entire judgment was obtained by the government. The matter was in abeyance until July IS. 1906. when an execution for the full amount was is- sued against Noojin, This was quashed upon his motion and another execution asked. Noojin's motion to quash this one. was based upon the plea that it was founded upon a dormant judgment, that of March 10. 1899. instead of that of October 5, 1892. The case was ap- pealed.
 The costs have not been figured, but they will amount to more than tue original S3oo.

Japanese Famine Scenes.

Five hundred thousand people are
starving in the famine-stricken dis
tricts of Japan, according to Toxic
newspapers. An observer says: II
travelled through miles of country
covered with green rice, unripened
and unreaped. Only per cent. will
pay for harvesting. There are cases
where parents are selling their chill
dren. One typical case is as follows
A girl, years old, was offered as a
servant for about 81, but the pur-
chaser on seeing the wretched condi-
tion of her dress would only pay 36
cents. With this small sum the pa
rents started for Hokkaido to find
work, leaving an old grandmother In
the house.
This same writer says. "One
man who recently returned, instead
of being welcomed with 'Banzais!'
found all his family gone to other
provinces to seek work. He eventu-
ally left, declaring that after the
Manchurian fare he was unable to
eat the scanty and miserable food Of
fered him at home. Wholesale emil
grafton to other provinces is going
on. The unhappy people leave
stealthily at night to avoid their
creditors, taking small bundles of
their earthly belongings.
In 1902 there was famine which
is held partly responsible for the
present trouble. In addition, when
the Japanese soldiers LETT for the
front the people spent their savings
in enthusiastic send-offs. The soil of
the mountains and hills has been
turned up owing to the search for
roots. ferns and weeds, which are
made into cakes.
