We have contended that the doors of the Democratic party should be opened, and a hearty welcome ex tended to those Populists who desire to do so, to return to us and become Democrats again. But we have nev or thought, and do not think, that the doors of the Democratic party should be opened to the Populists, and invitation to them extended to return to us unless they come hack In good faith and become Democrats. Inoth or words, no Populist has any bus! ness voting or participating in Democratic primary, unless lie lias fully decided to nbandon the Popu list party and In good faith become a Democrat. If any Populist has reached a full decision to abandon the Populist party, (or what once a party, but now defunct) we say let him come Into the Democrat 1c fold, and a hearty welcome awaits him. Jf, however, any Populist slm ply wishes to .participate In our Democratic primary, and at the same time retain Ills allegienco to the Pop ullst parly, we say to such Populist, the doors of the Democratic house bold are not open to you. The invi tation is extended only to those who are willing to burn the bridges he bind them and say. "While I wai once a Populist, now I am a Demo crat. and will heartily support its platforms and nominees. We are satisfied any honest Pop ulist will agree with us on our posi tion, and admit that he has no right to take part in a Democratic prl maty until he abandons tho- Popu list party, and fully decides to be come n Democrat. Honesty In poll tics as well as in every day living sustain# our contentions.—Waycross Herald. The czar is planning a tunnel un- ler the Caucasus.

Twho hundred barrels of beer jxro drunk every five minutes in Chicago and a divorce is granted every five minutes In Sioux Falls. That immigration conference should let the out-world know that while tho South Is open to Intelli gent Immigration from Kurope, we do not want any of the criminal classes among us. TUE8DAY'8 ELECTIONS. The result ot the elections that were held in a number of northern states last Tuesday should be very gratifying to Democrats throughout the country, because In almost every contest there was a lesson that may be read with profit to the Democra cy. The most impressive thing in the result was the revolve against graft and rottenness everywhere. Where the democracy has gone after false ideals, it went down in over whelming defeat—as was shown iu Chicago where the municipal owner ship crowd led it astray t ago. In Sew York there was a greqt de fection in both of tlie old machine Jerome being elected on an indepen dent ticket for the place he has held that of district attorney,and Hearst coming very close to defeating Mc Clellan for mayor. McClellan's per sonality and his very good record as mayor of the city was all that save, him. Tammany’s betrayal of Parke two years ago and Its game of play ing loose with party organizations, except for the spoils, came proving disastrous to the pa along the line. It will he observed that, the Republicans, instead oi tiding by their candidate, Ivans, i off after Hearst, supposing him to be the stronger man and the more likely to defeat the Democratic inee. This is made plainer by the fact that the Republican candidate is now Hearst’s attorney i n his test of the election. It might have i een the best way to dispose of Hearst as an element in the party to have him elected mayor of New York in this off-year. In the next two years, his promises to the voters would have sufficiently evaporated to have him an unim portant factor in the party’s coun sels. As it is—as an aspiring can didate, warring against those in pow- r and making oily promises to ev- -ry discordant faction—ho is still an influence to he reckoned with. Tho Georgia Democrats might learn a lesson from the result of the contest in Maryland, where suffrage restriction such as is proposed In •orgla was put to a test at the ing to take such a radical step and Ing to stop such a radical step and one that Is less necessary now than at any time since the wari -That question was the pnrumount issue In Maryland and a Waterloo followed for the party. In Ohio, where James 'attlson swept the Republicans out of power, we have an Instance of a ‘safe and sane” candidate ou a Hafo and sane platform. The Ohio triumph was the most notable event of the day. In Philadelphia the Republican grafters and corruptionists were driven from power, In spite of the campaign of fraud that they waged throughout the day. Scores of re peaters were arrested and much fraud was detected ami nipped in the bud. Altogether, the result of the elec- ion looks good to us. It shows that he public conscience is aroused against graft and rotten methods, and that where Democracy Is true to its high Ideals it is Invincible. daughter of Dr. Ji K” E. Morgan, who was a leading medical practi tioner here for . half a century. Mrs. Speer’s family connections are high ly interesting. She is a grand-daugh ter of Daniel Cat roll of Dudington Manor, who built the old Capitol, and was owner of the ground it oc cupied. She is also the grand-daugh ter of Dudley Diggs, of Green Hill, Md„ who took care of Maj. l’Enfant, tho French engineer who laid out Washington, when I’Enfant was declining years and poor, and who found a last resting pla£e in the Diggers family burial ground.— Washington Post. Many farmers really have so much land that they can be said to be land poor; they have so much land that they are unable to till and manure it; then, too, their taxes are a burden.

Tllden 16,000 majority. After • serving two terms in the House Judge Speer was appointed United States district at torney, and did brilliant work in the prosecu.ion of the Ku Klux in North Georgia, nine of whose members he sent to the penitentiary. What he accomplished in these famous cases has since been made the basis of ev ery conspiracy prosecution in the country. Judge Speer is particularly well known in Washington through his marriage to Miss Eleanor Morgan,, DEPEND ON YOURSELF. Many a man has tried to Justify his failure on the ground that he was doomed by the cards which fate dealt him, that he must pick them up and play the game and that n G effort, how ever great, on his part, could mater- rially change tho result. But, my young friend, the Fate that deals your cards is in the main your own reso lution. The result of the game does not rest with fate or destiny, but with you. You will take the trick if y have the superior energy, ability and determination, requisite to take it. You have the power within yourself to change the value of the cards which, you say, fate has dealt you. The game depends upon your training, upon the way you are disciplined to seize and use your opportunities, and upon your ability to put grit in the place of superior advantages. Just because circumstances some times give clients to lawyers and patients to physicians, put com monplace clergymen in uncommon pulpits, and place the sons of rich at the head of great corporations even when they have only average ability and scarcely any experience, while poor youths with greater ability and more experience, often have to fight their way for years to obtain ordinary situations, are you Justified in start ing out without a chart or in leaving place for luck in your program? What would you think of the captain of a great liner who would start out to sea without any port In view, and trust to luck to land his precious cargo safely? Did you ever know of a strong young man making out his hie pro gram and dep^enjUng upon carry out any part of It? Men who depend upon “luck” do not think It worth while to make a thorough pre paration for success. They are not willing to pay the regular price for It. They are looking for bargains. They are hunting for short cuts to success. Power gravitates to the man who knows how. “Luck is the tide, noth ing more. The strong man rows with it if it makes toward his port; he rows against it if it Hows the other way.”—Success Magazine. Sheriff's Sale.

Something should ho done to put stop to this "pernicious" talk of r centenarians. Now here conies among the lastest, Daniel Kelleher, of Wilmington, Del., who has just passed away at the age of 105 years, but who, before bis death, declared that he had used tobacco and liquor all his life, the latter in moderate quantities, but regularly. He smoked three plugs of tobacco a week, and a local statistician figured out that In the course of his life he had smoked no less than 17.SS3 feet of the per nicious weed. Another deplorable feature of his statement is his asser tion that he never swore off. Something should be done to pre vent the centenarians from talking pr writing for publication. They are doing more than any other class to create lack of confidence in the opinions of the Intellectual but deli cate people wno are striving to teach us how to live.
