"Tho Democracy alono from tho bcjln
nlng has boon the party of tho wholo
people, novor resting upon cnpltallsm,
olass or crootlj nover dlstlngnlsldug be
tween wealth, property or tho special
lntorest of any section. It has recognized
all allko, treated nil alike tho rich as
well as the poor but having a special
caro that tho rights of tho latter should
never ba Invaded. As a colicslvo body
tho Democracy had been successful. Its
administration of government had been
beneficial to tho country. Tho nation had
Improved In overy respect, acquiring terri
tory and oipandlng Its limits until Its bor
dor lines reached from ocean to ocean
from tho lakes to tho gulf. Its wealth and
prosperity were among tho histories
widen oxclted amazement In tho world,
and thoro was a fair distribution of tho
proccods among tho wngo workers and
producers, an era of contentment and
happiness.
"liut thero camo a rift In tho Demo
cratic ranks. It had bocoino too power
ful, and It burst Into factions, and
through that, In 1801, tho Republican
party camo into power. Then followed
tho long and bloody agony of tho civil
war, and party linos wero erased, for all
energies wero bent to prescrvo tho llfo of
tho nation, tho old Union. Mistakes of
tho past wero overlooked, political sins
wero forgiven, and though dangerous
precedents wero established by tho Ito
publican administrations, they wore over
looked by tho Democracy.
"Then came tho tlmo when tho last
Confederate had laid down his arms, and
tho war was ovor. Then, also, camo tho
tlmo to test tho statesmanship, tho honor
and tho manhood of men. Do you recall
tho result? Thero was no confiscation of
personal estates, there was no hanging or
shooting of tho lately rebellious men, but
tho Republican party crucified tho states.
They wasted and stolo, and stolo and
wasted until It seemed as If thero was
nothing also left. Drunk with power,
mado posslblo to thorn by, trusting pa
triotism, they finally stolo tho presidency
of tho United States from tho man whoso
namo you so proudly bear.
"This could not always continue and
tho peoplo sobered. Sober peoplo aro not
likely to bo cheated ngaln, and in 18S4
tho ballots that were ctrst wero honestly
countcd'and returned, and a man true to
tlio Constitution, a plain, cool, fearless
and honorablo Domocrat, becamo president
of tho United States. Ills administra
tion our administration has been on
trial for more than threo years. It needs
neither oulpgy nor defonso from mo or
you. ino recora is as plain ana ireo irom

" ine uopuuncans eany in tlio season
held out tlto hope that this was to bo a
campaign ot reason ana fairness anu tram
telllug. liut ther found that that would
do them no (rood, and so they havo aban
doned that honest course of procedure
and entered upon a lino of amazing mis
representation. They havo commenced a
campaign ot slander, not against individ
uals alono, but against tho wholo party.
They will not toll tho truth. They ap
peal to projudico, to passion, to tho sup
posed ignorance of their countrymen, to
race, to class and creed; while wo appeal
to tho best common sonso, self interest
and tho recognized intelligence of the
Amorlcau peoplo.
"Tlio solemn pledges of tho Democratic
riarty havo beon kopt. Two hundred mil
ions of our fairest public domain woro
recklessly given away to forward monop
olies by tlio llepuuilcan regime, and re
member that was not laud acquired by
these good Republicans, either by con

"Tho Democrats havo mado It ncnal to
bring a single human being to this coun
try under contract, under a system of
suvvory, to competo with froo American
labor. Romomber that tho eight hour

Mr. Blaine attracted a crowd to tho

night and was received with enthusiasm,
but his speech was not maguotio. llo said
nothing about trusts, retaliation or freo

and dull. It bristled, of course, with
audacious misrepresentations of history,
but fow of his auditors knew or cared
anything about that. Thoy went to hear
a fiery onslaught on tho Domocratlo party
and wero disappointed. Whether ho has
been muzzled by tho Republican national

Absent Mlncledneiu of DnalnPM Mm When
They Lunch Down Town.
"Do you know that many business men
nro half crazy whou thoy enter a restau
rant at noon for lunch or dinner?" This
was said to a reporter by tho owner of n
well known restaurant, who continued:
"Their minds are not upon what they aro
doing; their brains aro busy as can bo
figuring and planning. Tliclr bodies left
their counting rooms, but their heads re
mained. They, as a rulo, cat hurrlodly,
and any nnmbor of them do bo mechan
ically. I havo ecen them do tho most ab
surd things posslblo. Often it happens
,that ono will throw down ono cent at tho
cashier's desk with n Bovonty-fivo cent
or fifty cent chock, and wait for a mlnuto
or two for tho chango. And theso aro
sharp, shrowd, calculating business men,
who, if you entered their places of busi
ness, you would find alert enough, and
who would novor mako a mistake in giv
ing out or receiving monoy.
"Thoy show their mental abstraction
In various ways. Ono will como In, and
with deliberation placo his hat beneath
his chair, yet when ho has dono eating ho
will rush to tho rack, and, seizing somo
body olso's hat, go out, probably not dis
covering his orror for a day or two. It is
n positive .fact that not long ago a man
with a 71 head woro out of my ploco a
CJ hat, which would scarcely stay on tho
top of Ids iiead. Nor did ho discover his
mistako until ho reached his offlco.
"Ono day a man stepped up to my desk
and complained that ho had lost his hat, a
very lino ono which had cost him 7 or $8.
Ills hat had boou stolen, ho charged, and
ho was excited and angry. Would you
beltevo it? It was ho who had stolen ono.
I discovered a fow minutes later that two
days before ho had token tho hat of an
other, leaving his own. Tho ono ho took
was of tho samo material, but had been
worn an entire season, being greasy and
soiled; still, ho woro It without discover
ing tho fact until tho tlmo ho mado tho
complaint, although his own hat was a
fine, brand new ono.
"It Is truly odd how men will behave

Interesting to note that certain customs,
forgotten in their homo land, but re
tained here, and, therefore, characterized
as "American," aro really importations
from Europe.
Not ono ot theso customs has been re
garded as more distinctively "Yankee"
than tlio venerable ono of "tarring and
feathering," and yet wo learn from tho
"Aunaies lierum Angllcarum" of tho veu
crablo English historian llovcden (living
In tho Thirteenth century and court chap
lain to Henry III) that the custom 1h at
least as old as the timo of Richard tho
Lion Hearted. He tells that Richard, on
sotting out on tho third crusade, mado
sundry enactments for tho regulation of
his fleet, ouo of which was that "A robber
who shall bo convicted of theft shall havo
his head cropped after tho fashion of a
champion, and bolliug pitch shall bo
poured thereon, aud tho feathers of a
cushion shall bo shaken out on him, so
that he may bo known, and at the first
land at which tho ship shall touch ho
shall bo bet on shore." Whothor tho
custom was earlier than this we havo no
means of determining. It Is at least close
ou to 700 years old. American Notes and

The ColnnUU 111 Liberia.
Capt. Rogers, of tho Monrovia, says:
"From what I havo seen of tho colonists
in Liberia I bellevo their chances for suo
cess aro equally as good as they would bo
In the south. It is truo that tho African
fover, in many coses, renders them in
capable to work for awhile, but when
they become thoroughly acclimated they
find no difllculty In making a living. A
largo proportion of them aro prosperous
and aro hoarding up considerable wealth."
Mrs. M, 11. Mcrriman, a whlto mission
ary, differs materially from Capt. Rogers
and is bitter in her denunciation ot tho
cruel manner In which tho negro colonists
aro treated. Sho said: "I havo been
among tho negroes of tho south, and I
havo seen them at their worst. I havo
been among tho natives of Africa for
years as a missionary, but never havo I
witnessed such abject poverty, squalor
and wretchedness as prevails among tho
negro colonists in Liberia. It Is truo that
tho colonization society furnishes thom
with land to work and keeps them In food
for six months from their arrival. But
what docs it avail them? They aro thero
scarcely a month when they aro,strlckcn
down with African fover. Some" of them
survive It, but in most cases It moons
death. When thoso -who get well aro
ablo to go to work they find that their al
lotted tlmo of support by tho socloty
has oxplrcd and they aro paupers. This
is not always tho caso. Whllo not ono
has over yet been known to escapo the
fever, somo of them, who possess un
usually good cousltutions, get well and
become qulto prosperous. To tho pros,
perous the paupers look for their subsist
cuce." Joo Howard In Boston Globo,
Oooil Atlvlro to Speculators,
Speculation is a business that must be
studied as a specialty, aud though It Is
popularly believed that any man who has
money can speculuto, yet tho ordinary
man, without special training iu tho busi
ness, Is liable to mako as great a mistake
In this attempt as tho man who thinks ho
can act as his own lawyer and who is Bald
"to have u fool for a client." Tho com
mon delusion that expert knowledgo Is
not required in speculation has wreckod
many fortunes aud reputations iu Wall
street, and is still very Influential In its
pernicious and Illusory achievements.
Professional advlco In Wall street, as
In legal affairs, is worth paying for, aud
costs far loss in tho cud than tho chief
"points" that aro distributed profusely
around tho street, thick as autumn leaves
In Vallambrosa, and which only allure
tho lunocont speculator to put his money
where ho Is almost cortaln to lose It. My
advlco to speculators who wish to make
money in Wall street, therefore, is to Ig
nore tho counsel of tho barroom "Uppers'
and "tipplers," turn their backs on
"buckot shops," and when thoy want
"points" to purchase lot them go to thoso

Keep If Up.
Having charged upon tho Democratic
administration tho responsibility for tho
yollow fover in Florida, it Is qulto in
order for Tho Tribuno to seek to tlx upon
tho samo party tho odium of tho advanco
In the prleo of wheat and tho closing of
sugar refineries by tho trust.
The process is very simple for an or
gan. Tho administration has released, In
the only n ay sanctioned by law, a portion
of tho mouey locked up as Idlo surplus.
Tho money has stimulated speculation.
Speculation advanced tho prico of wheat.
Ergo, the administration Is to blame.
But if the money had been left locked
up thero would havo been a panic, pros
trating all business. And that, proba
bly, would havo suited the organs oven
better.
Tho sugar refineries are enabled to con
trol their market by reason of a duty
voted and maintained by Republicans, and
by a trust wldch Mr. Blaino Bays Is "a
privato affair with which neither tho
president nor any privato citizen has any
particular call to Interfere." The Demo
crats proposo to rcduco tho duty 20 per

OOLUMltlA DEMOOIiAT, VOJ LU, HOW
TESTING DRINKING WATER.
TTmatlafjictory Ilcmltj Which Aro Fomo
tlmca Obtained Hemnrknbto Tcata.
Wo are giving more and moro attention
to tho purity oi drinking water as It be
comes moro npparent that infection of al
most every kind travels by water. It be
comes of tlio highest Importance to Itnow
whether tho tests .usually resorted to for
tho detection of organlo Impurities tiro
trustworthy. If dangerous Impurities
eUp past thoso tests, thoy afford no pro
tection against tho transmission of dls
easo germs. Tho Sanitarian prints it pa
per by Dr. J. A. Tftrmcr, of Boston, giving
results of somo of his experiments in this
direction, which may almost bo called
jtartUnir.
Dr. Tanner declares boldly that tho
ehemlcal processes rolled upon for testing
trater aro "as apt to condemn a good
water as thoy aro to commend It, and to
commend an Impure water when thoy
should condemn it," and his statements 1
go far to support his thoory. For example,
if 6 nor cent, of milk or any beef extract I
bo added to a gallon of distilled water tho
processes will condemn It as Impure bo
causo it contains organic matter. Add a
few million of dlseaso germs to ft gallon
of distilled water and nono of tho pro
cesses will discover them, becauso tho
quantity of organic matter Is not largo
enough. Yot tho one mixture is cntlsely
harmless, and tho other, If wo accept tlio
germ theory, is dangerous. Tho combus
tion process relies upon tho proportions
found of carbon and nitrogen; tho am
monia process upon tho presenco of freo
ammonia and albumold ammonia; tho
permanganato process upon tho amount
of oxygen required to oxidlzo tho organio
matter. All of thoso tests nro cxtremoly
dellcato, and a slight Inaccuracy is enough
to causo an Impure water to bo rated as
pure, or the opposite.
Tho fact that they dlsagrco wildly In
their results with tho samo water is
enough to shako faith in all of them. Dr.
Tanner shows this by reference to tho In
vestigation conducted by Profossor J.
Mallet for tho national board of health
Bomo years ago, with which ho was con
nected. Nlnetcon samples of natural
water, bclloved from actual uso to bo
wholesome, wero examined by theso pro
cesses. They agreed that ten wero pot
ablo and three wero not, but a3 to six, or
ono-thlrd of tho nnmbor, they disagreed
totally. Thon nineteen samples woro
taken of "natural waters which thero
eeomed to bo fair grounds for believing
havo actually causod disease" But only
four of theso were rejected as unwholo
somo; as to nine, or ouo-half, thero was
no agreement, and six, or one-third, were
pronounced wholesome by all the pro
cesses. Then twenty samples were taken
of natural water of doubtful but sus
pected character, and as to theso tho re
sults were really moro unfavorable than
as to tho waters known to bo dangerous.
Tho most remarkablo of all tho tests
were with twenty samples of good water,
to which wero addod various poUutions,
Buch as sowngo from various sources,
black vomit and liko offensive and poison
ous substances. Only eight of theso
bamples, less than half, wero condemned
by all tho processes; as to nlno tho re
ports did not agrco, and threo tho pro
cesses actually concurred in pronouncing
good. Water, to which enough of a weak
mlxod sowago from a largo public sower
had been added to creato, It was believed,
serious danger of typhoid, was pro
nouueedtobeof "great organic purity by
two processes, and "good by tho third.
A larger admixture of the same sewago,
a3 much as 5 per cent, was pronounced of
"medium" quality by two processes, nnd
"bad" by only ono. Even moro striltlng
examples could bo given. Yet tho samo
processes condemned as impure tho Lako

LETTER OF MORTON.
Ingalla' 'Tellow Llko rite I pa to Italao
Money."
,.Tho letter of Mr. Lovl P. Morton, ac
cepting tho Republican nomination for
tlio vice presidency, appears In this morn
ing's Courier-Journal.
It will bo read with curiosity by both
Democrats and Republicans, for there Is,
perhaps, no man whoso namo Is known nt
all In political clrcios concerning whoso
views there Is such absolute Ignorance
Tho truth Is that Mr. Morton Is n man
who has never been thought of as holding
posltlvo opinions of his own. Morton's
namo in politics has been slm
ply sy
i ad nc
nony-
money and had not been willing to spend
It to buy claims on tho consideration of
his party he would nover havo been heard
of in publlo llfo.
His lottor, however, will not enlighten
thp curious. Ho merely points to that re
markable botch potcli, tho Republican
platform, nnd says In offect, "Them's my
tentimcnts," although ho does not Bay it
In such pointed aud plain words. It would
havo been better if ho had contented him'
Belf with such a declaration, for In at
tempting to say bomcthlng moro ho perpo
trates an amateurish essay on tho tariff
Issue which Is a weak string of platitudes
that havo been better said a thousand
times before.
Mr. Morton, in writing his letter, has
lost his opportunity to show to tho coun
try that It is mistaken in Its conviction
that his money was his only merit to sin
gle him out from sovcral million other
Republicans as a man marked for .vlco
presidential honors. Loulsvllio Courier
Journal. Tho Connecticut Town Klectlona,
Tho returns from tho Connecticut town
elections, on Monday of this weok, 'havo
not yot been received with sufficient f uil
noss to justify any precise statement as
to their fignilicanco. It is, however, suf
ficiently clear already that tho Democrats
havo more than hold their own In tho man
ufacturing towns and that tho Prohibi
tion voto Is stronger thnu ever.
As tho only hope of being ablo to carry
tho stato for tholr presidential ticket
sprang from tho belief that tho tariff issuo
would demorallzo tho Domocratlo voto In
tlio manufacturing towns, it Is clear that
tho results thus far recorded must tend
to depress tho Itepubllcan managers. It
may, of courso, bo said, aud, in fact, la
already said, that tno town elections ore
affected by strictly local influences, which
wiu not opcrato in isovcmber. wnuo
this Is truo, It Is also truo that
trictly partisan Influences count for
cooa deal, ana malco them
selves visible in tho general tondeucy
of the towns. When wo find tho Demo
crats stronger than over in Hartford, and
ablo to wrest such towns as Mcrldon,
Branford. East Havon, Cheshire, MUford
and Walliugford from their adversaries,
it seems saro to concludo that thoro is a
marked public disposition to support tho
Democratic causo. As tho matter stands
wo should soy that tho returns boforo us
warrant tno expectation mat tno Demo
crats will carry Connecticut by a plu
rality of not less than 4,000. Brooklyn

I'-tosrcsslou In Car XJrukra.
Every year has shown nrocTess In nor.
footing tho comforts and safety of tho
railway car. In 1840 tho Hodgo hand
brako was introduced, and in 1631 tho
Stovons brake. Theso enabled tho cars
to bo controlled In a manner which added
much to tho economy and safety lu haud
llng tho trains. In 1800 Georgo Westlng
houso patented his air brako, by which
power from tho cugiuo was transmitted
by compressed air carried through hoso
nnd acting upon tho brakes of each car
lu tho train. It was under tho control of
tho engineer, and Its action was bo prompt
nnd Its power bo effectual that a tram
could bo stopped lu an incredibly short
tlmo, and tho brakes released in nn in
stant. In 1871 tho vacuum brako was do-
vised, by means of which tho power was
applied to tho brakes by exhausting tho
air.
A difficulty under which railways suf
fered for many years was the method of
coupling cars. Tho ordinary means con
sisted of coupling pins Inserted into links
nttached to tho cars. There was a great
deal of "slack," tho jerking of the train
in consequenco wus very objectionablo,
and the dlstanco between tho platforms
of tho cars mado tho crossing of them
dangerous. Iu collisions ono platform
was likely to rlso abovo that of tho ad
joining car, and "telescoping" was not an
uncommon occurrence.
The means of warning, passengers
ngulust standing on tho platforms wero
characteristic of the dangers which
threatened, and v.ero often ingenious iu
tho devices for attracting ntt.eutlon. On a
Now Jersoy road thero was painted on tho
car door n picture of n new mado gravo,
with a formldablo tombstone, ou which
was an Inscription announcing to a ter
rified publio that It was "Sacred to tho
memory of tho man who had stood on a
platform." Scribner's Monthly.
Ualnu Second Hand Tlu Cnna.
Economy may bo tho secret of wealth,
but thero aro cases wlicro It does not pay
to ecouomlzo too closely. A method is In
use, and has been recently patented, of
using again old tin cans from which peas,
lobster, salmon and other edibles liavo
been removed. Tho practice may provo a
pernicious one, and the cans should bo
relegated to the furnace and rolling mill
before being again used for canning food.
At best, cans aro never preserved, after
tho food has been removed, in a very
clean condition, to Bay tlio least, aud tho
acid contained in tho food often causes
poisonous compounds, when combined
with oxygen of tho ntmosphcro.
Tho old cans are, It is stated, collected
In tho "revamping" establishment, tho

if cans can bo cleaned short of temovlug
