Of Interest to Democrats. The National Democratic Congressio nal Campaign Committee lias begun ac tive operations at its headquarters at Washington, D. C. In addition to its regular work, it is now preparing a Campaign hand-hook which it hope's to have ready for distribution by July 1 two or three months earlier than here tofore. The Committee is charged with the duty of assisting, in every way possible the election of a Democratic Congross. We wish tho active co-operation of every voter in the United States who believes, with us, that the election of a Democratic Congress would greatly benefit the country. We must rely up on the people to sustain our work by giving information as to local condi tions, and suggestions for our guidance Each individual can at least aid us by making a contribution. Will he not d< so and interest others in helping us, too? We wish our Campaign hand-hook distributed as generally as possible, and we will furnish a copy, as soon as pub lished, to every one who contributes to our Committee.

A farmer in Ohio wrote to the De partment of Agriculture that lie had struggled for twenty years on an eighty acre farm heavily mortgaged, but bad been unable to reduce his debt or rise above poverty that made the bringing up of his family a humiliation. He asked if there was any hope for him Upon the farm, or if he might as well give up the tight. The department re quested that he make a detailed report of his farm and its soils, and upon this it based a plan of fanning which he was recommended to follow to the let ter. There was a profit the first year of !>2,O<>0 and the department believes that ultimately the despised eighty acres can be made to yield $5,000 a year. - Ex. Uses for a Husband. "My husband is such a handy man around the house," I recently hoard a wife" remark with pride, says a writer in the New idea. She went on to tell how he could dry dishes when the maid was out. and even enjoyed getting a meal. It seems to me to be a popular fallacy among wives that a useful man about the house is the most desirable husband. I have noticed, however? and my observation on this point,owing to my interest in the subject, has been wide ? that the men who do a maid's work are the ones who don't make enough money to pay an extra maid for it.

I lo beHoves Iho other fellow lias the right to Ltle tho question for himself, just like ho (Bryan) has done. Briofly and to o point, Mi*i Bryan makes tho liquor diort n personal issue which each n an must decide for himsolf, or that communities should deal with as the mti iorily think best. 'IIol lint; lo (hose views, ho is not a lioni?t, OXCOpt in his own house I with himself, in 1800ho voted ? i statutory or constitutional pro* in! stood Inter for a form of ISO to ho passed upon by separate . immunities. Thai is to say, undor tho Slocum law, which Mr, Bryan approves, no license to sell liquor can DO issued in a municipality of his Slate unless the voters approve that jnilicy. If thoy vote for licensing the liquor trnflic in a particular town or city, why that town has saloons; if the sentiment is against saloons no license? can he issued. "We have been taught to believe that a plan like that is the very essence of Democratic government that it is the principle upon which the foundation of a republic rests, and that when you dig Out any part of tho aforesaid founda tion, the entire structure is liable to collapse. Sumptuary laws have never been a part and parcel of Democratic faith; they have never appealed to Democrats who believe in a strict con BtrUCtlon of our constitution and the widest, freedom for the individual." This would appear on its face to he an invention of the enemy to he a fab rication designed to injure Mr. Bryan. No. so. The Chattanooga News is one of his blind, unreasoning supporters'and accepts the authority of The Baltimore News in the matter, as well it may, for the above is really but a reiteration of Mr. Bryan's well-known views upon this subject. So there will be no pro hibition plank in the national Demo cratic platform this year, as some have fondly hoped. "It is not likely that there will be a re-allirmalion of the immemo rial declarationngainsl sumptuary laws, but the platform committee will no doubt, content itself with cutting this out and with passing over in silence "what wo ordinarily call the temper ance question." Continuing its comment our Chatta nooga contemporary says: "Mr. Bryan holds to tho ancionl faith. ... in comparison with many of those gentlemen who are going about over I this country, the United State: , preach ing temperance by statutory law, Mr. Bryan appears to advantage. And tho statement that he made at Baltimore is more evidence that he will not pander to popular clamor to get voles. . . . His declaration on tho teinporanceques t ion will probably convlnco a number of his critics in this Slate that he is an old line Democrat after all." upon this subject he undoubtedly is. ?
