One of the counties of the state of Connecticut once boasted of a judge who, though poorly furnished with those little refinements usually met with in polished society, was an ener getic, shrewd man, and a promising lawyer. A neighbor of his was about to give away his daughter in marriage, and having a deep-rooted dislike to the clerical profession, and being de termined, as he said, "to have no par son in his house," he sent for his friend the Judge, to perform the cere mony. The judge came, and, the can , didates for the connubial yoke taking 1 their places before him, he addressed the bride: "You swear you will marry this man?" "Yes, sir," was the reply. "And you (addressing the bridegroom) | swear you will marry this woman?" t "Well, I do," said the groom. "Then," ) said the judge, "I swear you're mar ) rled!" FOR MIDDLE-AGED WOMEN.

Drflirlue or the Line Between "fm perlaliew" auil Legitimate Expansion lias ltruucht Out a Fresh Crop of Misrepresentations. All of the Republican organs take special delight in misquoting and mis interpreting the language used by Democratic leaders on every occasion. As we move along further iu the cam paign, there will be enough scripture misquoted and falsehoods uttered un der the guise of truth, to deceive even the elect. Mr. Bryan is a man who has been more misquoted and deliberately lied about than any other man in the country. The fact that nothing can be urged against him, either as a states man or a man ought to be conclusive evidence in his favor. Referring to this matter the Buffalo Evening Times says: "Some of the Republican papers are seizing upon Mr. Bryan's latest utter ance declaring that he is for a certain kind of expansion, an expansion that has no elements of imperialism, as an indication that he is "hedging," so to speak, on this issue. There is nothing new in what Mr. Bryan has recently Baid. He has de clared himself In the same way upon many occasions before. He is perfect ly consistent in the matter. He never was an anti-expansionist in any prop er sense of the word. But he always has been and always will he an anti imperialist. And it is where expansion takes on the form of imperialism that he draws the line." A REPUBLICAJM SCHEME. Senator Jones of Arkansas, in a re cent interview, alluding to the duplici ty of the Republican party, says: "Democratic leaders do not expect to see any anti-trust legislation put through the present congress. Accord ing to the lightß before them, the Re publican program seems to be to quiet ly suppress all efforts toward substan tial anti-trust legislation, or, if any thing at all is put through, to enact some meaningless bill just before ad journment—something they know will not stand the test of the courts and will, therefore, satisfy the trust people, but which cannot be passed upon by the courts until after the presidential election. It is more probable, how ever, that they will do nothing in con gress, hut will fortify themselves for the campaign by putting into their platform the strongest kind of an anti trust declaration. They will, if they can find the language to frame it, have a plank more strongly anti-trust than that of the democrats themselves. "The utterances of Republican lead ers in the house—Grosvenor, Hepburn and others—indicate a purpose to claim all the credit for the Sherman law and to attempt nothing in the way of further legislation. Any effort on their part to legislate would, they fear, stir up strife among their own forces. It is their policy, therefore, to let well enough alone and trust to their platform declaration to carry them through the campaign that is sure to be waged against their party as the party of trusts." GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP. By government ownership is not meant here that the government owns anything, for it does not. On the con trary, everything practically owns the government. This is the difficulty and it is the problem to be solved. Before the government can own anything, it is plainly necessary to get it away from those who do own it. We do not agree with the Los Angeles Herald that "the Republican party is not only in possession of all the machinery of government, all the great corporations, all the great moneyed institutions, all the powerful agencies which have fast ened themselves upon the people, but It has the army, which it will not scruple to use if it finds itself driven to the last ditch by an indignant, out raged people." All these things own the Republican party, and the Republican party owns the government as above specified. There are some things which the Re publican party are ashamed to own, but they assume the control of them for the purposes of user only. The Herald furnishes a list of these ease ments: "The Republican parly has most of the great newspapers, which are sub sidized to advocate its revolutionary measures. And still worse and more humiliating to us as a people, the ad ministration has the British govern ment as an active and open ally In its 'criminal aggression' and colonial policy, as well as in its financial pol icy." REPEATING HISTORY. President Jackson opposed a national bank that would stand between the people and the national treasury; the issue of paper money as currency and the control of the government de posits. He deemed the bank unneces sary and a power dangerous to the in dependent action of the government and of the people. He insisted that the transaction of the government be in gold and silver as the only constitu tional money. He withdrew the gov ernment deposits from the banks and placed them in the subtreasuries which congress created. The money power was beaten at every point. But Jack son warned the people that It would again come to the front, and his warn ing has been verified. What are the conditions today? The national administration is favoring a law which will place the currency- Issuing power In the hands of the banks. A "pet bank" has been desig nated to receive government funds on deposit. This bank is to be enlarged and placed on intimate relations with the federal treasury, while a move ment is on foot to repeal the law un der which United States sub treasuries exist, and thus com pel a return of all govern ment deposits to the banks. in brief, the money power, now after the lapse of sixty years, hopes to accom plish under President McKinley almost precisely what it attempted and failed to do during the administration of An drew Jackson. —Denver News. "EEMOCRACY WILL WIN." "It is Democracy's year to triumph." Wherefore not? Listen to the Verdict: "Think what the trusts have done? They have closed mills. They have thrown men out of work. Notably— and disastrously for McKinley hopes to come —they have cast idly loose, as commercial help not wanted, an army corps of 37,000 commercial travelers. Think what a thunderbolt of political war these 37,000 "drummers" are like to prove against Republicanism! The trusts have pared wages to the laborer. They have put up the prices to the public. Not one man in the land but has felt them gnawing at his sub stance. Look about you and behold in sundry instances the work of trusts." "Standard Oil outrages in Coeur d'Alene gave Idaho to the Democracy. The Standard Oil bribe of $400,000 of fered Monett: Standard Oil defeats Monett for renomination as Ohio's at torney-general; Standard Oil closing the door of Cooper Institute to prevent Monett's denunciation of trusts; bribes, gags, lawlessness, in the name of the law, and free speech murdered. Are these not due to have effect for Democratic good?" JOHN HAY. Secretary of State Hay is a misfit. There is nothing of the American about him. He is all English, although he came from Pike county in this state. He is ashamed of the fact that he ever lived in Pike, and so are the Pike county people. He has held office all his life, married a fortune and apes the English aristocracy. While he has been a steady officeholder, it has al ways been by appointment. He never lived In a community that would have elected him constable. He represents nothing on the earth, in the earth or above the earth. He has no more con ception of what Americanism is than does the sultan of Sulu. He never hustled at the polls, never carried a torch, never participated in an elec tion row. He never did anything, in fact, to bring him in contact with the people and never examined the springs that move men. His political ideas were gained first as flunky to the great, next as an associate of foreigners. Such is the man in whose hands the foreign affairs of the great American people are placed. TRUST GREED.. "The rapidity with which the trusts are strengthening themselves and ab sorbing the wealth of the country will soon place them beyond the reach of the people. They now add hundreds of millions to their wealth every day, and make presidents, for none can doubt, in spite of McKinley's mild dis approval of the trusts in his message, that Mr. Hanna, who made him presi dent, is the agent of the trusts and put McKinley in the White House be cause he thinks he can use him there. The trusts are rapidly strengthening their grip on the money power of the government, and. as they very recently have shown, can now cause panics that will crush their enemies and sweep out of existence all who dare oppose them. They are a hundredfold more powerful than they were two years ago, and a hundredfold more grasping, arbitrary and tyrannical. It will be no easy matter for the people to crush them now. It will be well nigli impossible to do so by the ordi nary process of law two or three years hence." —New Orleans Times-Demo crat. DEMOCRATIC PHILIPPINE POLICY. It has often been asked, "What is the policy of the Democratic party on the Philippine question?" It ought not to be difficult to discover that policy, for it has been stated again and again by the Democratic leaders in congress and elsewhere'. The Cairo Argus saya the sentiment of the Democrats in con gress is shown in the fewest words and in the clearest language in the resolu tion offered by Congressman Mcßae of Arkansas, and which reads as fol lows: "He it resolved, etc., that the Uniteu States hereuy declare that their purpose in acquiring jurisdiction and control over the Philippine islands was, and i 3, to secure to the inhabi tants thereof, as soon as practicable, after the suppression of tne existing rebellion therein, a free, independent, stable government, republican in form, anu that the United States guarantee to said inhabitants protection against all foreign invasion." The great objection to discontinuing war is the fear that the multitude en gaged in fighting and manufacturing war material will be thrown out of a job. This is also the great objection to the destruction of trusts—love of the workingman. President McKinley has "Welcome Investigation" woven on his doormat, but somehow or other, when investi gation crosses his threshold, it is met by a suppression of the evidence for "reasons of public policy." AVOID STEPPING UPON CRACKS Peculiarity of Many People When Walk tng Along: the Pavements. From the Philadelphia Record: "I wonder why it is," said a quick ob server the other day, "that nine peo ple out of every ten in walking along the sidewalk invariably try to avoid stepping upon the cracks or divisions in between the flagging? Now, for in stance, if the divisions are made so that an ordinary man's step would measure about two-thirds of the width of one section of the flagging, he would naturally take about three steps in crossing two of tliem. But instead of making the three steps of the same length and setting one foot down upon the seam, you will And that he will invariably take a step either a little longer or a little shorter than is really most convenient, .lust' to enable him to avoid stepping upon the crack or seam. It seems to be done almost un consciously, and yet if on the next square the size of the division in the pavement is changed, you will notice that almost invariably the pedestrian adapts his steps to the new arrange ment, and still continues to avoid the cracks. Children used to play a game called 'poison' on their way to school. The game consisted entirely in care fully avoiding stepping upon a stone or some other material selected by the leader to be designated as 'poison,' to set foot upon which was supposed to be followed by direful consequences. Whether the habit of 'looking where you step' thus acquired is continued by those who now try to avoid cracks I cannot say, but If you notice you will find that many people who walk are addicted to the habit here de scribed." The Hoton Baby's Mamma. From the New York Commercial- Advertiser: The Boston baby must have brought his mamma to New York yesterday. There was nothing particularly Bostonese in her appear ance and she didn't have the baby with her, but as she was getting out of an elevated car she dropped a book—of course. The simple New Yorker picked it up and restored it to its owner, who turned and anid: "Thank you—er— thank you—immeasurably."
