mil 8 1896 Colonel A McClure wants to know In the light of recent events whether the Democratic party Is going to live or die says among other things: The attitude of the country today Is that of utter chaoK Already the annual school district meeting casts its shadow before Queensberry rules knocked out an enemy of human society in one round Plans for building and paying for court house are on paper No Delaware peaches this summer The crop has not yet been declared a total failure The actual expense of the School for Boys surprises some of the economists Why Not Let that oil 1 impelled from

spiritual hotly now It is finer more ethereal nore beautiful than the fleshly body it Is however material and made tf atoms for all that Is not soul in tie universe is some form of matter At death the soul and its finer body pass out of the fleshly one and eners a superior state where all that he sees and hears and senses Is just as tivid and natural here the dlffererce being that we shall Perceive more readily and move about more freely In this view the fear of death Is wholly removed and we anticipate it With Joy when our work here is done Death Is really our second birth Jests called It being 'born Thos who can have often seen the spirit pass out at the moment of death and his joyous welcome bv those Who love him and whir had died long before We do not see God by passing through the gate of death It is impossible for a finite being see infinity That which is infinite cannot be a person and cannot be seen There as here we shall know of the all pervading power by the martfestations of natural law These laws work unerringly not only inthe physical but In the mental moral ant spiritual realms of being Our sife vay is to adopt our doings to the laws and in this way alone can we eternally progress Is not reached at a single bound We mount towards the summit round by Miss Judson has a remarkable power of holding her audience Her pleasant voice her human sympathy her vein of humor and above all her Intense earnestness and her desire to bring spiritual Illumination to her hearers induce to this end Next Sunday she will give her last discourses in Meriden for the present

liner St Paul May better luck attend her this time President Cleveland Is said to be one of those who have been waiting to see the income tax declared constitutional before making their retuma The suit of son against father Is one calculated to provoke laughter of the Immortals that is If they are interested In sugar Nobody doubts there is a string attachment to Senator indorsement of the suggestion of a southern man as the Democratic candidate for the presidency The doctors In New York are wag-1 ing a wordy battle as to the value of anti-toxlne as a remedy for diphtheria This is the beginning of a discussion of which probably no man now alive will see the end Iconoclasm has not spared! the square and lofty rig of Captain fine cruiser The official decree has gone forth and henceforth the Chicago as stuAp-sparred as a coal barge will cease to be known as the most beautiful ship In the navy HURRAH FOR MERIDEN (Bridgeport Union) There Is a little city between New Haven and Hartford that will bear watching It has no board of trade has no public library and It has only 21000 inhabitants more or less but it Is going to have a board of trade It Is going to have a public library and it is going to have more inhabitants perhaps enough to make the claim of New Haven Bridgeport and Hartford to be the first second third cities of the state respectively questionable Foot is Meriden has awakened from Its Rip Van Winkle sleep and ail sign In the Silver City now- point to Its making much of the prosperous period we are now on the eve of The board of trade will be the first important step and as it la to be modeled after Bridgeport's much may be expected of Lt The way Its Inhabitants are working for a public library Indicates that before a very distant day it will have such an Institution and we can no longer point to it as a llbraryless town These two Institutions will bring with them a growth in population Meriden had Henry Watterson for a night not long ago while New Haven and Bridgeport only had him the length of time it took the train he was on to puss through the olty Hartford did not catch even a glimpse of him The other day a liberal paid for a train to take -tihe law-makers there to inspect -the Reform school They were so well pleased that the Silver City is being praised from Greenwich to Thompson and from Salisbury to Stonington Three cheers and a tiger for a greater Meriden May the efforts of Its wide awake citizens accomplish more than the most sanguine one now hopes for i Scents Subscription tOcents per month 200 1 three months

great news gathering associations The coffee speculators in New York are expressing these days an aching desire to get their hands if for only five minutes more or less on the person of one Guzman Blanco who used to be president of Venezuela It seems that Blanco has cornered about 200-000 bags of coffee worth $4000000 and Is raising Cain with the market Blanco's deal has frightened everybody out of speculation The transactions at the coffee exchange In New York on Saturday were only 11750 bags In active times they have been anywhere from ten to twenty times that amount in a single day The coffee gamblers are not lying down to pleasant dreams nowadays The primitive statesmanship of the Wild nad woolly west has been asserting Itself again and the effete east awaits with Interest the next sensation It appears that James Clarke chief magistrate of Arkansas and a representative In the state legislature bearing the somewhat widely known cognomen of Jones Jones met Sunday afternoon in the lobby of a hotel in Little Rock kept by one Gleason They call It Gleason's hotel in Little Rock On Saturday afternoon Mr Jones had riren to a question of privilege in the bouse of representatives when charges of bribery against certain members were being discussed and Bald that Governor Clarke was responsible for the charges that he had gone about in the dark like an assassin with a knife up his sleeve stabbing men in the back who were his peers in every respect When the governor and Mr Jones met in Gleason's Sunday there was trouble The governor spat In face and Jones pulled a large loaded gun from the recesses of his boot The statesmen were gathered in by a passing policeman and the end is not yet FINANCIERING IN SPAIN That Cuban revolution has suddenly ceased to be a subject of ridicule by newspaper paragraphere particularly in Madrid and Havana The York has been looking up the history of Cuban revolutions and the financial rating of the Spanish government and makes out a pretty good case with bright hopes of suc-cens for the Cuban patients The Cuban Insurrection of 1808 lasted ten years when Spain was much better and the Cubans were much worse prepared for a struggle than now That ten war cost Spain a nlnt of money Four months after the close of the struggle Spain's national debt had grown from $800000-009 to $2500000000 A conference of creditors was called and Spain agreed to pay about fifty cents on the dollar Her interest charge now Is about $05-000 (HHi per year The budget for 1804-115 showed an estimated excess of about $1000000 In receipts over expenditures but estimates In Spanish finances prove nothing In other words Spain has been doing business for nearly one hundred years on what might be termed a Democratic "tariff reform" basis The hope of the Cuban patriots at this time from possible complications between Spain and the United States during a long maintained insurrection lies in the difflcul ty that the bankrupt home government meet in raising funds Spain's imports and exports fell off about 40 per cent between 18110 and 1808 and although there was an improvement in 1894 the amounts were still con slderably below those of the year 1890 It is supposed that another failure to pay Interest on her bonds after the difficult settlement of fourteen years ago would involve her In trouble with France and Great Britain whose people hold most of the foreign debt and that the Spanish people would not patiently bear great additional taxation The Spanish debt of one sort or another Is greater by more than $700-009000 than It was before the outbreak of 1808 and that in spite of tlte scaling down that attended the last FACING THE MUSIC 1 edited tUu leu-rwi DeffiOtTiiUc waiters lailyKepubfem of it it Something To Remember TO
