Out of ofllco the Democratic party la
Always a zealous champion ot freedom,
including free mothods of carrying on
public buslnoBB. Then It 1b Btrongly
in favor, of tho moot llboral conduct ol
dobatos in congress. It stands for the
abolition of caucus rule whenever Its
own caucus decisions havo no power
to shape legislation.
In oillce thoro Is a romarkablo trans
formation. The' party of freedom bo
comes despotic. It uses tho most rig
orous mothods of smothering opposi
tion to tho doerees of its leaders. Ha
machinery Is handled relentlessly to
crush thoso who dissent from tho poll
cles of its bosses.
Senator Cummins told tho truth, in
tho United States senate, whon ho de
clared that tho course which was. be
ing followed by tho Democratic ma
jority In that body In respect to tho
currency bill was autocratic and prac
tically destructive of real debato, and
deprived tho senate of any other par
ticipation In vital legislation than the
empty form of ratifying caucus deci
sions. It was true, as ho said, that tho
bill had virtually boon passed In the
Democratic caucus and all genuine
discussion had ended there, ns far as
tho ultimate fate of tho measure was
concerned.
It Is nothing now In American gov
ernment It is not revolutionary.
Thoro Is nothing worse than tho meth
ods which havo long prevailed. But It
2b wholly antagonistic to the declara
tions and "official" principles of tho
Democratic party. In that rospect the
practice of tho Democratic leaders now
In power mocks tho professions of a
long series of Democratic conventions.
By What Warrant?
Tho abolition of party national con
ventions proper, as proposed by the
president, would mean the demolition
of ono of tho most Inspiring, pic
turesque, characterstic, and on the
"whole successful features of American
political life.
Thoro Is absolutely no commensur
ate reason or demand for any such ar
oltrary destruction of a distinctively
American institution that is the natur
al outgrowth of our party system.

some arbitrary model cut to tho pat
torn of tho theory monger?
Ictue Sharply Defined.
The Issuo created by the now tariff
bills is clear and unmistakable. The
Republican party has always con
tended that the romarkablo progress
and prosperity of the United States
have been due in a largo measure, to
the protectlvo tariff. Tho Democratic
party, presumably, argues that, there
would havo been equal prosperity un
der a tariff which would forco Ameri
can industry to compete with cheap
labor Europe in tho American market
The test 1b now to be made. The
country will soon "'know whether a
tariff for revenue only will bo as sat
lsfactory ae tho policy of protection
to American industry and labor.

Effect of Democratic Tariff
One of the first real effects of the

HUH
WAYS OF CHINESE BARBERS
Tonsorlal Artists Carry on Their Busi
ness In Street in Full View
of the Passereby.
London. Tho Englishman who
Khavos hlmnolt In tho seclusion of his
own room, or undergoes tho mystic
rites at his favorlto barber's, would
probably bo horrified at tho ldoa of
submitting to tho ordoal In tho publlo
street.
In China, however, It In no uncom
mon thing to aeo tho ceremony per
formed in public, for Chlneso barbers
carry on their buslnoss in tho street
in full vlow of tho passorsby.
Tho barbor having selected a Ukoly
Bpnrt for carrying on his trade, sticks
to it until custom dwindles, when ho
- Chinese Barber at Work,
transfers his stock-ln-trado to another
pitch. In this way ho scores over
his Western brethren, who, should
customers fail, must possess their
souls In patience, and cannot go forth
In search of thorn.
Instead of a tariff nnming separate
charges for hair-cut, shave, and sham
poo, tho Chinese barber quotes an In
clusive rate. In Hankow the chargo
of 160 cash, or about 3d. in English
money, is almost universal, so that if
our Chlneso friends do not enjoy
Western privacy neither do they pay
Western prices.
Perhaps the smallness of tho chargo
is duo to tho fact that theso al fresco
barbers escape rent and rates, and
have no luxurious premises to keep
up. It Is probablo that the average
Englishman would cheerfully pay even
moro than tho usual sum rather than
undergo such an ordeal in the public
streets. Theso Chinaman is less self
conscious and thinks nothing of it.
FINDS OLD OREGON TRAIL MAP
Edmund D. Hicks Made an Interesting
Discovery While Rummaging
Through an Old Trunk.
Kansas City. While rummaging
around in an old trunk containing a
lot of old papers and family effects,
Edmund D. Hicks, 2109 Belleview ave
nue, found an Interesting old map, tho
property of his father, which outlined
the course of the Oregon trail marked
out by Capt. John C. Fremont on his
western expedition in June, 1842. The
course began at Westport landing,
near tho mouth of tho Kaw river, on
Juno 11, and went southwest through
the town of Westport across Turkey
creek and joined tho old Santa Fe
trail from Independence, 20 miles from
Westport landing.
According to tho field notes of Cap
tain Fremoht the party halted at noon
that day near the spot where Olathe,
Kas., now is. They left the Santa Fe
trail that same day,-and tho next day
they crossed the Kakarusa river neat
Lawswje, continuing the course west
along tho Kaw river. Lawrence, To
peka and other cities now lying along
tho Kaw are features which have
como sinco tho tour of Captain Fre
mont. None of thom is noted on the
map. They crossed tho Kaw near the
present site ot Topeka, and struck out
north" along thb Little Blue river, and
struck the Platto river at Grand Is
land. Tho territory is marked bese
and there with regard to the Indian
tribes encountered. Pawnees, Slous
and Snake Indians inhabited the coun
try they traversed. Note's along the
way to Captain Fremont tell posterity
that near Westport, elk and deer, the
only game, aro very scarce.
Tho first herd of buffalo was sighted
by Fremont's party on Juno 30, 365
miles from Westport landing. Fre
mont complains from timo to time that
the Indians steal provisions at night,
and on ono or two occasions, made an
open attack oh tho scouting party.
Tho trail endod at Fort Walla Walla,
nmong the Nez Perces Indians, Oc
tober 27, 1842. Tho courso from West
port landing to its terminus 1b 1.C70
miles long.
Tho map was made nnd complied by
Charles Preuss, a member of Fro
monf'a party, in 1846, and was litho
graphed by order of the United States
