A NEW CLASSIFICATION.

A NEW CLASSIFICATION.
There was time when 1t was gen.
orally safe to take a republican at
his word. Within certain pretty
definite limits. republican knew his
own mind, and was not one thing
when he swore he was Of the repub-
hcan faith At registration time and
another thing when It came to mark
ing the ballot ON election day. Some
hundreds OF thousands OF western
voters. called republican by courtesy
and by reason Of their registration.
threw the nation into the ranks Of
democracy on November Z. Certainly
the man who votes thus can be class
Cd as nothing else than . democrat.
for his vote Is an endorsement Of
democratic policies.
! Then there is another kind of
republican. There we're several hun
dred OF him right here In Josephine
county election day. He was willing
to trade away part OF his ticket sim
ply that democracy might get some
thing that was not coming to 1t.
There was nothing for this bartering
and dishonest republican to gain by
his treachery to his party. for demo-
cratic votes were not needed. The
democrats as a party stay pretty
close to their party principles. They
really mean It when they say upon
oath that they are democrats. A bar
ter upon the part Of republicans was
playing right into the hands Of their
political enemy, for the democrats
had nothing to give. everything to
receive. 1t would be enlightening, at
least, to know Just how the repub-
lican who considers himself part
OF the party organization, perhaps a
leader in its councils. and then sells
out a portion Of the ticket would
classify himself II would seem that
we are drifting back to the days OF
mugwumpism.

The Incident That Opened John Dai.
toms Eyes to His Afflietion.
John Dalton, the famous English
chemist and natural philosopher. with
out whose discovery Of the laws Of
chemical combination chemistry as an
exact science could hardly exist, was
wholly color blind His knowledge Of
the fact came about by 4 happening OF
the sort which we call chance. On his
mothers birthday, when he was man
Of twenty six, he took her pair OF
stockings which he had seen In shop
window. labeled, silk, the newest
fashion"
Thee hast bought me pair OF grand
hose, John" said the mother. but
what made thee fancy such bright

John was much disconnected, but he
told her that he considered the stock.

john was her astonished reply.
Neither he nor his brother, Jonathan,
could see anything but drab in the
stockings, and they rested In the be-
lief that the good wifes eyes were out
Of order until she, having consulted
various neiehbors, returned with the
verdict. "varra fine stun, but uncom.

The consequence was that John Dal.
ton became the first to direct the at.
tention Of the scientific world to the
subject Of color blindness.
