When Oscar Wilde came to the
United States to lecture on aesthet-
les in his highly aesthetic velvet cos
tames-and incidentally to prepare the
public mind for the proper apprecia-
ton Of Gilbert and Sullivan's PA
tience." in which the aesthetic move
ment was held up to ridicule-he used
to complain that America was very un-
interesting since it had mo antiqui-
ties and no curiosities." But he ven
tured on this disparagement once too
often, for in the course of his travels
he uttered it to the American Girl,
and she replied with the demure de,
pravity OF candid innocence that this
was not quite a fair reproach, since
I'VE shall have the antiquities in
time. and we are already importing the
curiosities."

the value Of these metals for 1910. The
output Of gold was $4,000, an increase
Of $16,001. Gold production from deep
mines increased from $2,545 in 1910
to $12.159 in 1911, and that from plac-
ors increased from 1854 to 1904. The
increased yield was entirely due to
mining operations in the Atlantic City
district, in Fremont county, which
yielded over ninety-seven per cent. of
the gold. The production of copper
in Wyoming in 1911 was 1854
pounds. valued at $14,S23. This was
103.755 pounds less than in 1910, ow.
ing mainly to the idleness OF the
Penn-Wyoming mine and smelter, in
Carbon county. The decrease in the
copper output caused a decline in sill.

Indianapolis.-Gove Thomas R.
Marshall was officially notified that
he is the running mate of Governor
Woodrow Wilson at the head Of the
Democratic National ticket in the
coming campaign.
Judge Alton B. Parker of New York,
who was the presidential candidate of
the party in 1904, informed the Indi-
ana executive of his nomination.
Thomas Taggart, national committee
man from Indiana, was master of GER
emonies.
Governor Marshall in his formal
speech of acceptance attacked the
Republican party on the grounds that
1t had fostered special privilege to the
point of making men everywhere So
cialistic in theory If not in conduct.
In this connection he said:
at is idle for thoughtful man in
America, whether millionaire or pau
per, longer to play the ostrich. Safety
does not consist In hiding ones head
in the sands of either sentiment or
hope.
1T is foolish for the vastly rich to
keep on insisting that more and more
shall be added to their riches through
a specious system of special legisla-
ton, ostensibly enacted to run the
government, in reality enacted to loot
the people.
"It is worse than ignorance for
them to smile at the large body of In
telligent Americans who regard them
selves as fortunate If the debit and
credit accounts of life balance at the
end OF the year; and to assume that
the mighty many. who are becoming
convinced that that social system
that we call democracy is but gilt
tering generality. will long endure the
Industrial slavery being produced.
Whether voting the ticket or not.
men everywhere looking upon the aw-
full injustice of this economic system
are becoming Socialistic in theory II
not in conduct.
"And shall any fair-minded man
say that II 1t rebounds to the interests
OF the people OF this country hun
dred men shall control its business to
the good of everyone. tnat there is
anything fallacious in the theory that
government, instead of transferring
business to a favored few for the bene.
fit of all should itself discharge the
business for the benefit OF all?
Il do not hesitate to say that II It
be impossible to restore this Republic
to its ancient ideals, which I do not
believe. and must make the ultimate
choice between the paternalism of the
few and the Socialism of the many,

throbbing heart of humanity.

ranks is Democratic discomfort. How

But l am quite sure that whatever
badges men may wear in America
this year, whatever ballots they may
cast and whatever battle cries they
may utter. there are but three grades
