DEMOCRATIC DEGRADATION.
TSDirit Lake Beacon.l

The record, OF the late lamented con-
eress is not a particularly good basis
for republican success in the elections
of next year. 1t will be difficult to
make the People believe that ON this
record the party is entitled to the COM
plste confidence of the people or any
especial favor al the polls. But since
government, and particularly popular
government must be shaped and sus-
tanned thru the agency of political
parties, if the republican party is to be
condemned at the election such ex-
preston can come only thru ap-
prevail of the democratic party. While
il is freely admitted that the dominant
party has in the revision of the tariff
neasurably failed in the full perfor-
nance of duty. what may be said in
defense of the record of the democracy
in this connection?
For generations its chief excuse for
existence has been to deliver the peo-
pie from the burdens OF protective
tariff. Party leaders have in every
national campaign searched their souls
for terms of vituperation in which to
express democratic hostility and con-
tempt. In the late congressional con-
test over tariff revision the opportu-
nifty of generation came. It was in
the power of democrats to utterly de-
feat the program of republican con-
gressional organization In tariff legis-
lation. Mere fidelity to principles
featured in an hundred platforms
would have lowered many schedules.
But democratic senators and members
not only refused to unite with protest.

Guests and Ghosts Contributed to tho
 Enjoyment.

The Ladies of the Maccabees lodge are to be congratulated on the sue cess of the social which they gave Saturday night in Barnett's hall. The hall had been decorated with tall shocks of corn placed at intervals down the center of the room and in the corners. Pumpkins cut in gar goyle faces were placed everywhere and the lights were covered with tis- sue paper pumpkins. A fortune teller was in attendance and predicted weird and mysterious futures for the guests. A program was rendered, affording much pleasure to the listeners. The feature of the entertainment was the march of ghosts and witches, all the ladies being attired either in ghostly garb or in witches costumes. and after circling the hall. they sang the "WeIcome Song of the Hive" The rest of the program consisted of a recitation by Miss Arizona Johnson and address by the Rev.

BUSINESS HOUSES STOCKING UP

Mesa has struck an unusual era of prosperity. and the merchants are the people who realize it to the great CT extent. When a carload of po- tatoes is purchased for one firm. a carload of granite and tin ware for another. six casks of crockery and two carloads of furniture for another. and hundreds of pounds of candies. it all goes to show that the popula- tiOn must be increasing. or such quan- titles of goods would not be pur- chased. The goods consumed in Mesa amount to considerable, and each day is bringing in new prospective residents.
