From the Georgetown Republican.
The Democratic ticket can be de-
signated as weak and wet
OF course there are some notable
exceptions, and it is a pity that the
personnel of the ticket, generally, is
not equal to the few who are we'll
qualified and look big in comparison
with the others.
Now that the election Of an United
States Senator is no longer involved
in the selection of members of the
Legislature, it was to be hoped that
men we'll qualified to make laws
would be selected, but apparently the
wet and dry question was the only
one considered i'm the selection OF the
Democratic nominees for the Legis-
lature and it has been clearly de-
monstrated that the wet element OF
! the Democratic party is in control.
The mule truly represents the
characteristics of the Democratic
/ party. Whenever that party has an
. opportunity to win or gets into
power. it is bound to commit some
| asinine act that disgusts the people
and tests the loyalty of its followers.

Blessing In Disguise

Monroe Enquirer.
When the South raises all the
food stuff it needs and sends no
money away from home ior
things which man and beast eats
and then grows millions of bales
of cotton as surplus crop, then
this country will indeed be a
great one. And that day is COM
ing lust as sure as guns iron.
This low price of cotton is hit
ting the South hard just now,
but it is driving more people to
grow things to eat at home than
all the preaching until the crack
OF doom would do. When a
man once raises his supplies at
home he never goes back to the
old way of growing cotton with
which &c buy home supplies. A
man who once grows fifty bush
els OF corn an acre never goes
back to the ten and fifteen bush
els an acre way. Yes, this slump
in the price of cotton is right
now causing thousands upon
thousands of acres of wheat and
oats to be sown in the South that
would not be sown and next
spring multiplied thousands of
acres will be planted in corn that
would be put in cotton if cotton
had brought y good priea-.h;a,
season. And then, too. this low
price of cotton will put many a
ham. shoulder and side of meat
IN the smokehouses of the South
that would not be there were it
otherwise. No, this is not going
to ruin the South-it will even
tually be a great blessing to it.

Of view Of speculation alone the era was
a golden one.
In the long interval between the Civil
War and the Spanish American War stock
trading had It's opportunity to become sys-
tematized. With the resumption of specie
payments the premium on gold disap-
peared and there was no more work for
the Gold Exchange, which had been for
mally organized in 1864. The Stock Ex-
change took in the members OF several
outside organizations and the evening ex-
changes disappeared. Atlantic cables
came in. and tickers and telephones The
newspapers devoted large proportion Of
their space to financial matters and spe-
Cial services We're established in the Wall
Street district to provide minute by min
ute information Speculation became less
matter Of exclusive knowledge by few
individuals and investment opportunities
broadened intellectually.
As at the outset Of the Civil War. trad
ing at the beginning of the Spanish-Amer-
lean War was dull. but with the rapid
success OF the forces on land and sea it
began to pick up. When Dewey won the
battle of Manila it rose TO the true pro-
portions OF a boom. which continued long
after the war was over.

Jersey Coon-Chicken Trag-
edy Has Ending on Cliffs
of Palisades.
WHILE MAN HESITATES
PET LOSES HIMSELF
Englewood Poultry Cackles with
Relief at News of the
Enemy's Fate.

A girl reporter, having a day OF.
crossed the Dyckman st. ferry yesterday
to pick violets in Interstate Park. on the
Englewood cliffs. She didn't find the vio-
lets, but it was because she found some
thing more interesting.
Last fall an Englewood man acquired
an unusual pet TO wit, a coon, which was
taught TO answer 10 the name OF Toby.
Sometimes he answered TO this name, but
more often not. until watchful waiting on
the part of his owner, Charles Baldwin,
revealed the fact that for chicken dinners
he would do anything.
BY the same token it soon became ap-
parent that without chicken Toby would
do nothing, except make life miserable for
Mrs Baldwin and the two sons OF the
family. So it's been chicken ever since
for the Englewood Baldwins, and they've
got good and tired Of the diet.
Much discussion OF the problem and
final decision that emancipation from the
slavery imposed by chicken eating coon
led the Baldwins, father and sons, to the
cliffs yesterday afternoon.
Toby was in a peach basket. A dog by
the name of Bryan was along. Mrs. Bald
win remained at home preparing bounti-
full repast Of corned beef and cabbage.
On the cliffs Mr.. Baldwin gave himself
I'D to philosophical contemplation OF the
merits and dement's of pets in general
and coon in particular. On the one
hand-that is, in the basket-was Toby.
on the other hand was Bryan. Bryan
liked chicken, but he didn't insist on hav-
ing it for every meal Bryan liked Toby,
too. resenting only that animals selfish
ness in appetite, a selfishness that mad
made his mistress dream nightly or COOK
ing chicken.
In fact. Mr.. Baldwin ruminated, this
friendship Of Toby and Bryan, coon and
dog, was a wonderful thing. Perhaps
Bryan would miss his Preside companion
But-no; the deed must be did.
Toby-the faithful, affectionate Toby
whose only fault was that he loved chick
EN- beyond his masters Willingness 10
drain his pocketbook and the Willingness
of his mistress longer to prepare for his
palate the succulent broiler-must go.
With sudden determination Mr.. Baldwin
onened the basket for the sad separation.
Toby squeezed his hand in parting,
squeezed it with his teeth until the blood
came. Then Toby fed, the chummy Bryan
at his heels.
Up the nearest tree to the topmos'
branch went the coon. And there he was
when the girl reporter and party. Identity
Of party" carefully concealed. with
BRYAN barking his sorrow at the foot OF
the tree.
Probably as these lines are written the
Raldwins are revelling in corned beer and
ca bbage, while the girl reporter and party
perhaps a certain party. are having a
little supper notwithstanding, one
might venture a guess, chicken.
