THIRD PARTY PLATFORM.
There is nothing to be said
about the Third Party platform.
The country is familiar with it.
It is th- platform that was adopt
ed at St. Louis last February
with a few verbal changes, and
the omission of the plank that
demands “that the government
issue legal tender, notes and pay
the union soldier the difference
jetween the price of the depreci
ated money in which he was paid
and gold.” There were some
who denied that this latter plank
was a part of the St. Louis plat
form, hut it was sent out by the
Associated Press as a part of it,
It, does not appear in the Omaha
jlatform.
It is noticeable that the plat
form has nothing to say about
lessening the burden of the tariff
taxes, nor does it contain any
reference to the Force Bill. Its
main features are demands that
the coinage of silver shall be free,
that there shall be an increase in
the volume of the currency shall
he issued .by the government
without the use of banking cor
porations at a tax not to exceed 2
percent, and that the government
shall own the railroad, telegraph
and telephone lines.
The platform is not one that
will stand discussion and is not
likely to meet with favor from
any considerable number of peo
ple in any part of the country.—

himself fairly and squarely in the

some hard work for victory. He

flag is demanded of him by “abler

are few' “abler” and none “more
gallant” hands than his in the

We are amazed to observe our
esteemed contemporary, the Al

and sleeping question on the very
threshold of the campaign.—In
dianapolis News.
Our excellent contemporary
cannot deny the fact that the.
questions are worth consideration,
especially that of eating. Men
on such live papers as the News
and the News & Advertiser very
rarely ever sleep. If our friend
will come down we "will consider
a huge melon with him, the feast
to be supplemented with other
choice fruits and—well, come
down and see.
I thought I heard her sigh again
. . Close to my listening ear:
I thought I felt her sigh again
As in the old days dear;
thought I see her stand again
As in the years long flown,
And lay her gentle hand again
So fondly in mine own—
So fondly in mine own again,
So fondly in mine own.
I thought I heard her sing again
Amidst the ivy bower;
Her sweet voice bro’t a throng again
Of mem’ries with Its power.
I thought 1 heard her tread again
The path we loved the best;
I thought I felt her head again
Drop on my heart to rest— c
Laid fondly on my heart again,
Laid on my heart to rest.
The old days come to me again
With all their tender might;
The moon hangs o'er the sea again
And floods the tide with light—
Yale! Alas, alone again,
I walk along the piers;
The storm winds sadly moan again,
STy heart is filled with tears—
My face is wet with tears again,
My eyes are dim with tears.
THE FLIRT.
Flirts are born, not made. The
girl baby with flirty instincts in
all probability makes eyes at her
father before she realizes their re
lationship, and from the time she
is old enough to talk and toddle
has admirers by the score, whom
she likes, as a matter of course,
while her actions to the demure
1 ittle body with perhaps one shy
adorer seems most reprehensible.
She need not he in the least heart-
ess in order to gain the reputation
of being’an arrant coquette who
enjoys leading men on by the
sweetness of her smiles, only to
cast them off for a newer, and
fresher conquest. The manufac
tured article is the one to be
avoided. The counterfeit, who wil
fully plays one man against
another to furthur her own ends;
is as base as base can be, and
“flirt” is entirely too mild a name
for a woman who so far forgets
herself and another’s feelings as to
stoop to such a course of action.
But the bright, winsome little
creature who receives all homage
as her due, walks in the morning
with one man, rides in the after
noon with another, and dances in
the evening with a third, is only a
popular girl who cannot, to, save
her soul, prevent her eyes looking
unutterable things and her voice
taking on the enticing bewitching
accents men find so irresistible.
She will probably do the same
thing after she is married as well as
before, because it is born in her
yet she need not be the least bit
heartless, or frivolous. She sim
ply cannot help her nature, and is
bound to be charming to the
opposite sex whether she
wills it or not. Very dangerous
are these natural flirts, and very,
winsome. Man condemns yet
cannot resist. He knows she does
not care the snap <?1 her finger for
him; it is only her way, yet that
way.is more altogether desirable
than the unwavering-pronounced
affection of any other woman.
Such a girl never loves deeply;
she is too much for the multitude
to center her attention for any
great length of time on any one
object. Yet she is the one to
make the best match, to gain the
regard of the noblest man and to
keep it, too,, notwithstanding he
knows he is married to a genuine,
out-and-out flirt, who looks at
others in exactly the same adora
ble manner that makes him her
lnost humble slave. The flirt of
this type rarely compromises her
self by any action not absolutely
straightforward and for the world
to see, therefore her husband can
trust her, though he notes the at
tention she receivss, for he knows
it is not the tete-a-tete^ style of
coquetry, hut that of the throng
that gives her pleasure. One-
man would bore where many de
light, therefore he can smile and
be certain that if there had not
been something about him super
ior to the others she would not
have consented to marry him.
Let him not question what it is,
but be content that the woman
accustomed to admiration from
her cradle has consented to hear
his name, preside over his home
with her own sweet grace and go
on receiving -adoration until
death puts an end to the game.
