I DEMOCRATIC MANIFESTO.
Mr. W. B. Hearst's Address tb
v the D mocratie Clubs.
New York, Oct 4. -William Ran
dolph Heart president of the Nation
al Association of Democratic Clubs,
has issued an address to that Associa
tion urging npon its members "spe
' cia! activity and untiring energy from
now until the closing o the polls."
MT. Hearst's address says in part :
"I have offered my services and
Bpfchose of my newspapers to the mana
gers of thovDemccracy, and in so far
as i have felt justified as yonr presi
Bpdent in so doing I have offered the
much greater influence of the Nation
al Association of Democratic dabs,
pledging the honest co-operation of all
Hrethe members to farther .effort on the
MgSnes of that genuine Democracy m
Bpka ch a majority of the American
Bppeople believe.
"lt is the duty of the members of
the National Association of Demo
Bperairic dabs and of all Democrats to
ssite in proving that Democrats have
principles and permanent principles.
"*Fhe Democratic par ry has a great
respect for vested rights-it has also
a great hatred of vested wrongs, no
matter how long pr respectable their
antecedents. Democrats believe in
the statement of their platform that
'the rights of labor are certainly no
less "vested," no less "sacred,'- and
no less "inalienable" than the
rigths of capital
" Democrats denounce the exporta
tion without process of law of working
men and women from the State of Col
orado or from any other part of Ameri
can soil. The Democracy detests all
-kinds of anarchy, and especially that
which pats the executive of a State,
basked by the militia, above the laws
and above the Courts.
I"The Democracy believes? in patting
the thieves oat of the postoffice and all
other branches of public service, from
he United States Senate ail the wiy
down.
. "The Demorats believe ; hat public
property is public property, and that
Inot even the occupant of tbe White
House should turn men-of-war into
private yachts or make of the officers
and sailors of toe navy tbe domestic
servants of th President's household.
"The Democratic party believes in
expansion-it is the party of expan
sion, as Jefferson was America's great
est expansionist But it is: opposed to
imperialism.
"The Democratic platform says:
* We denounce protection a; a robbery
of the many to enrich the few, ' and
Democrats mean exactly what the
platform says.
"They know that through protec
- tion the trusts rob the public, work
; lag men and business men alike.
And Democrats, if elected, will find a
way to pull away from the trusts their
protecting cloafc-the tariff . y \
"These,, with a heartily pledged
support of the Monroe Doctrine, de
mand that the service of the old sol
diers be fairly and generously recog
nized, and a vigorous protest against
the attempt of President Boosevelt to
stir up mee hatred as an engine of
political advancement, constitute the
main features of the latest Democratic
platform, worded to'meet \ e especial
conditions and emergencies of the
day."
Grieved at Mew York's Wickedness.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Our old friend Hogg, of Texas, "once
governor of the Lore Star Stiate once
. a semi-Populist and professional trnst
bnster now a millionaire oil well
owner^ is in' New York. He went to
that city, he said, on a ".fan trip and
to get something good to eat." In
cidentally be called upon Judge Par
ier and advised him to put himself
on exbibition'in Madison Sqnare Gar
ries and permit a few hundred thou
sand of his fellow-citizens to shake
.his hand. The candidate asked what
-*P9?.l<i ]?e oine of bis bald if it were
:>*o n-ffisroibly shaken. In answer
to this the Texan cheerfully admitted
that Judge Parker Would lose his hand,
bot added: "You will win the elec
tion." Better to enter the white house
with one hand, rather than, having
both hands, to lose the presidency.
But while eating h:s good things
--*n3 taking his ease in his inn and
giving political advice, the eminent
Texan was also keeping his eyes and
Ids ears open to whet ?'as going on
Around him. With all his senses on
the alert, however, Governor Hogg
could lint find a baby. I: e wanted to
see a baby, but after a careful search
lie came to the conclusion that there
' are none tnere, hut finally his friends
lound one tor him, but it was in an
inca bator. When Sc P UI entered
Athens and found the people wholly
.given to idolatry, his spirit was not
more actively stirred in b:im than was
that of Governor Bogg by the contem
plation of tbe wickedness of New
York City. To a number of news
paper reporters who called upon him
be said : "You think we are ali bron
cho busters and bad men in Texas,
-don't yon?? If we killed one-half as
many men in Texas as you do here
ia New York yon wonld be getting
oat a red-headed extra every minute.
de you know half I read is abont
women being murdered"
This was said in a ba If-humorous
way, but the words are words of sober
ness and truth. The very day they
were uttered a man was dragged in
a New York saloon, beaten, stripped,
robbed and left nailed through his
flash to the floor. Imagine the outcry
a&d shrieking in the esteemed Even
ing Post and other journals of civili
sation if such a thing had happened
te a negro in Texas ! But the victim
Jbeing a white man and the crime oc
curring right under thei r noses, the
incident is barely noticed. While all
the northern newspapers are ocupying
themselves with southern misdoings,
tbere is such a carnival of murders
and other crimes in New Yojk that
tee cry of them is waxing great be
fore the face of the Lord.
Better Than Pills.
The question has been asked-In what
way are Chamberlain's Store ch and Liver
Tablets superior to the ordinary cathartic
and liver pills? Oar answer is-They are
easier and more pleasant to lake and their
e fect is so gentle aud so agreeable that
e hardly realizes that it is produced by a
aosdicine. Then they not only move the
bowels but improve the appetite and aid

Cortefyou Will Succeed Payne.
Washington, Oct. 4.-In succession
to Mr. Payne, George Bruce Cortel
yon, former secretary of tbe depart
ment of commerce and labor and now
chairman of the Republican national
committee, will become postmaster
general.
Mr. Cortelyc^s appointment as head
of the postoffice department was deter
mined on several months ago by Presi
dent Roosevelt when Mr. Payne indi
cated to the president his desire to
retire from the department on account
of the precarious state of his health.
It is the understanding now that
Mr. Cortelyou will assume the duties
of postmaster general as soon as he
convenently can after the close of the
pending campaign, probably December
L In the interim the responsibilities
of directing the affairs of the post
office department will devolve ou First
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne.

Can You Eat?
. J. B. Taylor, a prominent merchant of
Ghrieaman, Tex., says: UI oould not eat
because of a weak stomach. I lost all
strength and ran down in weight. All
that money could do was done, but all
hope of recovery vanished. Hearing of
some wonderful cures effected by use of
Eodol Dyspepsia Cure, 1 concluded to try
it The first bottle benefited me, and af ti
er taking four bottles, I am fully restored
to my usual strength, weight and health.''
