General have managed to discover
two clerks and one or more minor

the order for their execution has,
accordingly, been issued. Appar

The unusual experience of get

In a recent speech the President

Mrs. rish has thought it all over
carefully and come to the conclusion
that the idea of an American 400 is
ridiculous1 and society will continue
frivolous until it begins to take some
solid interest in American national
life. All of which goes to show that
when a woman talks long enough,
sne is certain to talk sense sooner
or later.
Mexico has been asked to surren
der one of the St. Louis boodlers as
an ct of comity." She will con
sent provided our government agrees
to grant a similar request coming
from Mexico. We hope this kind of
international courtesy will not ex

Lewis Nixon, the president of the
United States Shipbuilding Com
pany, testified yesterday that,
after an agreement with Schwab to
purchase the Bethlehem Steel Plant
for? 30,000,000, an agreement was
made with J. Pierpont Morgan to
buy it for $ 7,246,000 in cash and
$ 5,000,000 in stock. Instead of the
check for the full amount, one of
$7f9i, 791.48 was presented and
was indorsed by him without wait
ing to see by whom it was signed.
Mr. Nixon was unable to say what
was done with the stock, but was
under the impression that it was
taken to a trust company. In view
of such a confession, it is surprising
that Mr. Schwab took so much, but
that he took so little,
The Phildelphia lawyer has long
been synonymous with great pene
tration aud foresight, but here is a
story from the Philadelphia Ledger
proving that he may be fallible on
even these points, A certain judge
well known to the present genera
tion of Philadelphia lawyers, was
recently invited to deliver an ad
dress before the graduating class of
a southern law school. As he en
tered the Commencement hall he
read on the swinging door the word
"push," he said to himself, as he
related the story afterward. He
began his remarks something like
this: "Gentlemen of the Gradu
ating Class: As 1 entered tnis
beautiful hall a word met my eye
which I would wish you all to take
as a motto in your professional ca
reers." Everyone instinctively
turned to glancejat the door, the
orator among the rest. There, on
the 'inside, in letters easily read,
was the Inscription "Pull. "It
was a clean givaway," said the
judge later; "I'd let the cat out of
the bag then and there, and there
was'nt thing to do but to con
fess. Good Luek,
A boy, aged about twelve, Hvln

THE DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
One of the immortal things, as
mundane matters are counted, is
the democratic party. Neither
time, nor chance, nor defeats, nor
sudden frenzies, can destroy it.
The foundations of the party are
those few plain stern principles of
popular sovreignty for the domin
ance of which mankind has strug
gled in all nations. ,
The Democracy may or may not
win control of the national admin
istration in the coming . election.
Certainly it cannot ;t.v.possibly
gain the senate before 1907 by the
most optimistic calculation; more
probably not until 1909, aftef ' the
presidential election of i?o8. But
in any event the Democratic party
will strengthen with, time, As .its
bacis principles faith of mankind.
there will always be a mighty whost
of ,. patriots in America wha. will-do
battle for them. '
The main question of Defnocratic
action next year will be the plat
form. It is not well enough.to sneer
at national platforms as. . incon
sequential and bombastic pronunci-
amentos sounding large and mean
ing little. The truth is that the
bulk of sensible voters have great
regard for platform declarations and
expect parties to be faithful to
them. In a very peculiar sense the
entire nation will look more curious
ly and carefully to the Democratic
platform of 1904 than to any plat
form of either party since 1892,
Unless the platform is so framed
as to at once challenge the respect,
and confidence of the great body of
voters in the nation it will be a
hard task to commend it to them
afterwards by arguments and spell
binding hurrahs. The times de
mand of the Democracy a platform
that will be simple, statesmanlike
and thoroughly in keeping with the
solid needs of the nation.
The platform of i87s, upon which
Mr. Tilden was elected to the presi
dency, was a model of wisdom,, and
brevity. It said what the party
meant and the temper of the party
combined with the personnel of the
ticket won for it a popular majority
that was only nullified by ungodly
frauds and a packed elec toral com
mission.
' It is perfectly possible that the
Democracy next year can from
the issues now before the country-
and none of which are promised
settlement by thestandpat republi
can managers a platform that will
ring like the short, sharp, compell
ing blasts of the horn of Rhoderick
Dhu.- Thousands upon thousands
of honest voters who have adandon-
ed faith in the popular purposes of
t ie republican party will flock to
the Democratic standard as the
highlanders did at sight of the flam
ing cross of Malise. We believe
the work of the convention next
year will be thus wise and the re
sult of the campaign beyond doubt
from its commencement.
NEWFOUNDLAND WfiECKERS
The Bounty That Ia Gleaned From
Dnrrcu Shore.
In bygone times It was the practice
cf the Newfoundland coast folk to ap
propriate everything they secured, but
this lawlessness had to be sternly re
pressed. Now the unwritten rule Is
that they get "halt their baud," or 50
per cent, as salvage. In portable and
valuable articles, such as silverware,
there Is still a strong temptation to
keep the whole, but the punishment Is
severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin
stores and the like have also a trick
of disappearing, and In the poorest
fisher's cottage you will come upon
rare china, dainty napery, silverware
of price and wines to tempt an epi
cure. The salvors are reckless aud un
thinking, and as they gather in hun
dreds every man pre-empts what he
can. Iu the rush there Is much de
stroyed. When the Herder was lost
In 1882 they burned whalebone worth
$15,000 a ton to save leather costing
20 cents a pound. In the Gmmellne
wreck of 10O0 they trampled crates of
costly glassware to get at four cases
of French prayer books valued ot 25
cents apiece. On one occasion two
salvors had got ashore a piano and
were adopting the Solomon-like expe
tUent of aawtng It In half when a
shrewder chum bought It from them
for a bottle of whisky looted from the
captain's cabla. Whea the Oraabrook
went ashore In 1800 every man on the
shore provided himself with a German
concertina, ot waka Instruments of
torture she had a large conslxumeat,

more costly freight were threwa over

FOOD, WATER AND AIR.
The Essential Thing Oat of Which
Blood Ia Made.
These are the things out of which
blood Is made. If the food Is nutri
tious and properly cooked, If the air Is
pure and full of oxygen, if the water
Is clean and free from Impurities, the
blood Will be rich aud red and full of
vitality.
Barring physical accidents, there Is
no sickness except that depending dl
rectly upon a waut of food or water
or air, sometimes all three. When any
one is sick the presumption is that he
has been trying to subsist on poor
food or vitiated air or bad water, one
or more.
In order to have good food a person
ought to have the first eating of It.
Food that has been mussed over and
loft by one person is not fit to be eaten
by another.
In order to have good air a person
ought to have the first breathing of it.
Air that has been breathed by other
persons is not fit to breathe again.
Water should be fresh from some
spring or well. If hydrant water must
be used lot it run a bit, as the house
pipes are apt to be of lead and not
Iron like the pipes that convey the wa
ter through the city.
Food that is relished, air that cools
and invigorates, water that is quaffed
with eager thirst these are the things
that make blood. Put fresh air into
the lungs, good food and pure water
Into the stomach, and nature will do
the rest Medical Talk.
