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 t&edigestwnrJFor Rale at 25 ente per bettie by Cuma'AUra* Store, 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. ^Florence, Oct. 6.-The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company has this day cut forces in all departments of their shops at this point'about 20 per cent 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.''
