Every Democratic paper should print, and every Democratic speaker should read to bis audiences, the following let ter written by President Cleveland in 1893 to the editor of the Atlanta Constu iution: -- "Gray Gables, Buzzard Bay, Mass., July 16, 1892. Clark Howell, Esq My Dear Sir: The receipt of your recent letter has gratified me exceedingly. It has a tone of true Democracy about it, and is pervaded with the sort of Demo cratic frankness which is very pleasing. "I think the underlying principles of party organization is what you so ad mirably express as an acceptance of the arbitrament of the National Conven tion. On the other hand, it is as fully the duty of one opposed to shut his mind and heart to any feeling of irrita tion or resentment that might be al lowed to grow out of opposition based upon honest judgment and a conscien tious desire for party success. "I am not surprised, though I am gratified by the announcement that from this time to the close of the campaign ;vour own service and the invaluable in fluence of the Constitution will be devoted to the fight for Democratic success. It honestly seems to me that Democrats who are not at this time loyal to the cause are recreant to their country. "Personal advancement of man is ; nothing; the triumph of the principles we advocate is everything. "Hoping that we may congratulate each other on a a glorious result in No vember, I am, yours sincerely, t "Grover Cleveland." HOW THE WORKMAN IS INTER ESTED. i 'The soft-handed sons of toil are making appeals to the workmen these days as if they (the workmen) had no interest in the free coinage of silver, but were vitally interested in the maintenance of the gold standard. It does hot seem to have occurred to these gentlemen who evince such a sudden and sympa thetic interest in the toiler that the aforesaid toiler may entertain a sus picion that it is inspired more or less by selfishness, and that the appeals to him are made more in the interest of the makers than of those to whom they are made. During the days of the protective tariff the same fraternal solicitude' for the welfare of the workman in the protected industries was mani fested by the protected manufac turers, who were striking for more and higher protection all the time, declaring that that was the way to help the poor workman, they in the meantime pocketing the profits that came to them from this protection, and the workman hustling along the best he could for himself. With all their professed interest in the work man no one ever heard of the wages of the workman going up as the tariff went up. They are doing a good deal of that thing now, and Mr. McKinley, the - ideal representative of these protec tion grabbers, is trying to stuff the workman with the belief that it is the "opening of more mills that is needed more than the opening of the mint.s." There may be some work men who, after thevexperience of these many years, may be hum V bugged with that kind of talk, but it would not be creditable to their in telligence to think that there were many. - . ' ' ; ' : " Doesn't the sensible workman, no . matter in what kind of labor he may be employed, know that, like every thing else that is exchanged for money, labor is a commodity the price of which is governed by the law of supply and demand ? Doesn't he know that when there is not much demand for labor, but plenty of laborers, the price, will be low? Doesn't he know that when there is much demand for laborers and but few to be had prices will be high ? Doesn't he know that when an ar ticle is put tip for sale, if the article is scarce and in great demand, there will be lively competition in the bid ding and that the price will run high ? Doesn'c he know that when the farmer's harvest is ripe and when It must be speedily gathered and housed, that he pays harvesters four or five times as much per day as he pays the ordinary help that he em ploys the year 'round? J Doesn't he know that when a con flagration sweeps a city, destroys block after bjpck of, buildings which must be speedily replaced, that the wages of stone masons, brick ma sons, carpenters and other mechanics advance double or more? Doesn't he know that when money is scarce and hard to get, that there is a disnosition" to economize, to hoard it, and to venture but little in new enterprises, or in the up-building of towns and cities, in the build ing of houses and barns in the coun try, in the building of shops, facto ries, railways and scores of other thincs that eive emolovment to la bor, skilled and unskilled?, When there are few houses being built there is small demand for bricks and lumber and the brick makers and the lumber makers have but little to do and wages are low. When few houses are being built there is little demand for bricklayers, carpeters, etc., many are idle and those employed receive small wages. When the manufactories are run ning but little, and there is but small demand for the goods they make they require but few hands and the pay these is small because their places can be easily filled by others who are out of employment. When the railroads are without freight and "thousands of cars stand idle on the side tracks, as Hon Chauncey M. Depew said a few days ago is the case now, railroad men go idle and those retained must submit to cuts in their wages. Isn't all this apparent to the work man who thinks for a moment ? And doesn't he also know that the price of money, as well as the price of wheat, or of meat, or of labor, is governed by the lawof supply and demand? , Doesn't he know that if money be abundant that more of it will be paid for a desired thing than if it were scarce? It should not take any reasoning to convince him of that, and yet the soft handed sons of toil try to make him believe that the free coinage of silver, which would increase the volume of money and make it easier to earn, will make it harder for him to get by his labor and make times harder with him. The stupidity of this assertion is so amazing that it is astonishing that men, pretending to ordinary sense, would be making it. But they are, and they talk as if they expected workmen to believe them. THE BLUE AND THE GREY. The New York Herald calls the decoy ticket put up at Indianapolis the "Blue and the Grey" ticket. It was put up, no doubt, with a belief that it would catch a good many old soldiers, Palmer in the North and Buckner in the South. This Is about the only reason that can be assigned for the nomination of these two ven erable decoys. Decoy Palmer has a variegated record for a man who is now held up as an exemplar of Democracy, whom all true Democrats are urged by the gold men to follow, for he has bolted into and out of the Democratic party a couple of times and bolted into and out of the Republican party, and came near enough bolting into the Populist party to receive Popu list votes enough to elect him to the United States Senate. But he also has a record as milk tary Governor of Kentucky in 1865, which, in view of the fact that he is now held up as a typical -representative of the "Blue and the Gray," as sociated with a distinguished citizen of Kentucky who wore the Grey, Is interesting. In August of 1865 there was an election in that State; when as Military Governor he issued the following order, which disfran chised all the men referred to therein : "1. All rebel soldiers, whether paroled or not, and without regard to the fact that they have or have not taken any of the oaths prescribed by law. or execu tive or military orders, or have regis tered under orders from the headquar ters of the Department of Kentucky. All guerillas ana others who with-, out belonging to the regular rebel mili tary organizations, have taken up arms against the Government or have in any way operated against the Government or people of Kentucky, or any other State or Territory. "3.1A11 persons who, by act or word. directly or indirectly gave aid, comfort or - encouragement ; to persona In re bellion. This applies to all persons who have voluntarily acted as scouts or spies for rebel or guerilla forces, who have voluntarily furnished : any rebel with food or clothing, horses or arms, or money, to, have harbored, concealed or otherwise aided or encouraged them. "4. All persons who were or ; have t- a. . 1 a -a m occn airecriy or inairecuy engaged in the civil service of the late so-called IsOaiederate Government, or of th r. called provisional Government of Ken tucky, or who have in any way ub mitted to either of said pretended Gov ernments-, all agents of or contractors with or for either of said pretended Governments are disqualified from voting. ' All persons of the classes aforesaid are required to abstain from all inter fer- ence with - elections, and will, if they shall in any manner interfere therein by vntinu or bv aDoeanoir at the oolls, be at once arrested and held for military trial. - , "Aid will be given to civil authorities to enforce the laws and to preserve the peace. - "By command of Major General, John M. Palmer. "E. B. Harlan, Captain and A. A. G. "Official, Bin W. Sullivan, Lieutenant and Acting A. A. G." The object ot this order was simply to put the government of Kentucky into the hands of the Republicans of whom Decoy Palmer was then one. MIBOR MENTION. The so-called Democratic gold organs and the have been trying readers that the McKinley organs to persuade their free, silver sentl- ment is strong only in the rural dis tricts of the West and- South, among the deluded farmers, the "anarchist" plow-holders of the West who don't want to pay their debts, or pay for the labor they hire, and the "unrecon ciled slave-holders" of the South. They give themselves away when they devote so much ot their valu able space day after day to appeals to the wage-earners and to "argu ments" to show how they will suffer by the free coinage of silver, for if the wage-earners be" all right and don't take any stock in this free coinage business why are these edi tors and the stumpers devoting so much time and so much labor in talking to them ? But if the stiver sentiment be practically confined, as they say it is, to the rural denizans, how will they account for these monster meetings that are being ad dressed from day to day by William Tennines Bryan? They, can't ex plain it, and will not attempt it, for they cannot resort to the "curiosity" dodge as they did when Mr. Bryan started from his home in Nebraska, a little over a month ago, for New York city to be officially notified of his nomination. The "curiosity" stage was passed some time ago. The Washington Post, goid paper, but a sensible one and a fair one, some time ago asked where the "Fool Killer" was, that he didn't take a swing around and call at some of the sanctums of the gold editors in the East". It doesn't seem that, up to this writing, the -'Fool Killer" has responded to this invita tion of the Post, at least we infer as much from the following, clipped from a recent number: "Mr. Bryan has been speaking to vast audiences throughout the country audiences of unprecedented dimensions acd of indescribable enthusiasm. The New York newspapers in particular, and the gold standard papers in general, are foolishly endeavoring to delude the pub lic by pooh-poohing these audiences, speaking of them as gaping jays, at tracted by mere curiosity, and calling for no special notice of any kind. They appear to be afflicted with an infatua tion, and imagine that they can defeat Bryan by the mere act of ridiculing and disparaging those who attend his meet ings." Fighting the free silver movement by pooh-poohing and ridiculing it is about on a par with the Chinese method of fighting epidemics by trying to scare them off with the beating of gongs and firing crackers. of CURRENT COMMENT. If Mr. Hanna wanted to gain something through his Indianapolis Convention, he should have had a strong Democrat nominated for. President. However, there was no strong, self-respecting Democrat who would take the nomination. Palmer is a life-long shifter, and has been a garrulous straddle-bug in the Senate. Cincinnati Enquirer, Dent. James Creelman has been through Iowa. He is the leading staff correspondent of the New York World, a gold-bug paper. His letter to the World says 30,000 Republi cans have bolted to Bryan and the State is In danger. Before the cam paign is over the Republicans will have their eyes opened in various States. Augusta Chronicle, Dem. -The Republican managers finding that money cannot stem the popular movement in tavor of Bryan, are now resorting to the calamity cry, which they raised with such poor effect in the campaign of 1892, when Cleveland was elected by a Democratic landslide. They have for the past two weeks been sending circulars to the country merchants of Illinois and Wisconsin, stating that the election ot Bryan will precipitate the worst panic the country has ever experienced, and business and industry will be ruined. The Democratic National Com mittee is in possession of a number of these circulars, and has also re ceived information that many large wholesale firms in Chicago are in structing their traveling men to preach calamity and work for Mc Kinley or . resign their positions.

Lexington Dispatch: The peo ple in acd around Thomasville were shocked when the sad news i came of the death of Mr. Robert Collett, a noble young man. Two of Mrt Col lett's sons have been killed on the railroad in less than eight months. - The burial of Mr. Thomas Col lett, the young man who was killed on the railroad in South Carolina, and was burled at Bethany, this county, brings to mind a a very strange co-incidence if it be a co incidence. Mr. Collett was one ot the young men born and raised in this neighborhood, the other two, his brother Robert Collett and John Clodfellet. The three entered the railroad service and by their steadi ness and ability climbed up to respon sible positions. During the past eight months each one of them has been killed on the railroad, and are now sleeping the long sleep in Beth any Cemetery. Truly, it seems as if there was some strange fatality ia this.

Baa Received Some Severe Blows of X4tto Years. To the student of political institutions perhaps the most characteristic thing about the history of the German empire is the example that it gives us of the revival or reaffirmation, so to speak, of the prinoiple of monarchy. That principle has .received some rude shocks in recent yean. The es tablishment of the French republic was one and the deposition of the emperor of Brazil was certainly another. Both events gave great encouragement to republican ideas. Kingship in the old absolute sense had long been on the wane. The French revolution almost shattered the founda tions of the old monarchical rule. In England the old kingship received its final blow when George IV surrendered his po sition on the question of the emancipation of the Catholics. No attempt has since been made to impose the royal will upon a reluctant ministry or parliament. In France the old kingship disappeared when Louis Philippe, the citizen king, was summoned to the throne, for the monarchy of July was built on strictly constitutional lines. Even in Prussia a very restricted constitution was reluctantly conceded. King Frederick William IV vowed that he would never let a sheet of paper Inter vene between the God in fcotven and his subjects, but even he was fosoed at last to yield to the spirit of the age, and, as Bis marck picturesquely put It, the crown it self threw a clod upon its coffin. The Italian states and Spain were for long in a condition of chronic revolution, and either constitutions were extorted or re publics were established. It almost seemed as though the principle of kingship was doomed ere long to disappear. But the history of the German empire has done much toward the restoration of monarchy in its old illustrious position. Macm 11- lan's Magazine. An Old Highland Woman. She had lived near Mortlach for 67 years, and although the proprietor offered her and pressed her to take a' charming cottage a mile or two farther down the glen Betty would not budge.

She had been there alone through all the rigor of last winter, and what must it not have been with the bitter frost, the howling storms and the wreaths of snow I "Eh, sirs, it was tarrible oauld," she told us, "and the rats were maist awfu' l baa seen them when 1 looklt oot o' ma bed sittin, lots o' them, roun' the Are.

Chief of Police Hall of Paducah, Ky., Bays he once attended a political meeting at Tombstone, A. T. The most prominent speaker was Judge Eastin of Texas. The meeting opened, and the crowd straight way oailed on the judge to speak. He arose, and, with dignity, began his ad dress. "I was down in Texas," he said, "and held a lucrative position Under the Democratic administration. Well, as us ual, just as I began to accumulate a little money the Republicans came along and defeated us. 'Turn the rascals out!' was their cry, and" with an attempt to be humorous "I was one of the rascals." "Well, you look it I" yelled a rough old fellow away over in the corner. The roar that greeted this sally was so great that the judge oonoluded his speech In short order and never made another address to the people of Tombstone. Louisville Courier-Journal. . A TRUE ROMANCE. William B. Walkeva gentleman who moved from the Mississippi valley to Seat tle and has offices in the Bailey building, tells a-'itory of an "acquaintance of his whose experiences in South Africa are of a rather romantic character. Early m the eighties Henry Moore lived near Corinth," Miss., and was a shiftless sort of fellow. He gathered courage enough to shift from there, however, ana oiimDing on ue ena of a railroad train managed to- ride bllnl baggage to Denver. He spent some time In Colorado, then drifted to the Arizona goldflelds, lounged In the everlasting sun sMne of Mexico for a while and one day found himself at Galveston. There he drifted on board : a sailing ship and the ship drifted him to the eastern ooastof Afrioa. ' ' Here he found there was gold to be had without the digging. When the ship got to Liverpool he spent 'all his wages in trin kets and worked his j way baok to Afrioa on another ship. -His exploits - from the time he landed the second time throw those of Livingstone and Stanley entirely In the shade, for they went armed, with a retinue of followers, with baggage wagons and tents, commissary department and cooks. All alone, with as big a pack as he could oarry, he started from the east ooast in a direct line for the west. He disappeared in the so called impenetrable forests and was heard no more of for over a year. Not that there was any Inquiry after him, for he was not a newspaper explorer and had. in fact, kept his project a secret. It was something over a year before he was again seen by one of his raoe or beard his native tongue. He got back to the ooast, but was not carrying his pack. He had a string of camels and donkeys to carry it and it had grown to a goodly size. There were Ivory tusks in it and gold nug gets and precious stones and curious things never seen before. All by himself he had gone nearly 1,000 .miles into the interior and "bin doin a right smart o' tradin with the coons," he modestly said. "Meet any savages?" be was asked. "Mostly qll savages," was the quiet re ply. " ' . i 'And cannibals?" ' Yes, they is most all cannibals, but nary a one uv em ever eat me an l am here to prove it." I This is what be said when he got dock to Corinth, some time later. What be did when be got his goods to the coast was to get them and himself on to a ship, and at Liverpool he disposed of them. With a small part of the money he invested in a still larger pack, and again went info the wilds of Africa, but this time with don keys and camels and native servants. He passed through Mashonaland and to the northward. He carried many bundles ol matches, and when he deftly and swiftly swung his right hand upward past his thigh, and fire was the result, the natives were ready to worship the firetnaker. He also took a few firearms. When he came to a large village on the morning of a fes tival, he bad the ruler Informed that be could kill a man, and nobody would know "what had struck him."- The king was ourious about this and ordered out one of his young chiefs to be experiment ed -upon. Moore said his machine would work just as well upon a cow, and an ani mal Intended for slaughter was placed 300 yards away, which j dropped dead when struck by Moore's bullet. Moore said he could have had a bigger piece of land than the whole of the state of Mississippi, and Its live stock thrown in, for that rifle, but he could only bargain for things that he could carry away with him. Some time after that, however, he did receive a dona tion of land about 70 miles sauare from one of these African kings in the Interior and sold a half interest in it to an English syndicate for nearly $1,000,000. Moore got back to Corinth in 1887 and has been going and coming between Africa and this country ever since. When Chat tanooga had a land boom, he went there and asked the price of a large tract. The price was $75,000. "But how much cash?" asked Moore. He bargained it down to $70,000 and gave a check for that amount on a San Francisco bank. The land dealer laughed at it, but on a telegram being sent to San Francisco on which the check was drawn replied, "Moore good for $350,000." Moore has 500,000 in government bonds, and ' large accounts with several banks. He is not married, and his family connections are ail poor people that is, they were poor before he returned. He has sent his brother's two daughters to a fash ionable boarding school and given each a bank account of $50,000. He has also taken his brother's boy and sent him to school. To the rest of his family and in timate friends he has also been liberal. 'I have in my possession," said Mr. Walker, "a piece of seaweed that Moore brought from the Red sea, picked up near the spot where Pharaoh's army tried to cross." This proves the wonderful romance to be perfeotly true. Seattle Post-Intelli gencer. The Roots Went Deep.

But when the suffering son of Erin got into the dentist's chair and saw the gleaming forceps he positively refused to open his mouth. The dentist hit upon an effectual scheme, however. He got his office boy to jab Pat with a plu, and when he opened his mouth to yell he grabbed the tooth, and out it came. "It didn't hurt asmuoh as you expected it would, did It?" the dentist asked, smil ing at his ruso. "Well, no," replied Pat hesitatingly, as If doubting the truthfulness of his admis sion.

How to Make a New Face. mn removing lor beautifying pur poses is having a great vogue among the women who can afford it. At present the price for making over the face of a woman under 50 is $50.
