It is just time enough for a good active and energetic '•ampaign. the kind of a campaign that will increase Adams county’s already healthy majority. Every Adams county democrat should be a patriot, and should exert that individual effort necessary to make such a victory certain ■Get busy.

Having started out in public activity with the republican ]>arty in the earliest days of its youth 1 remained its enthusiastic adherent so long as it was the party of liberty and human rights—as it proudly called itself. * the party of moral ideas.” It is now something very different. It is more and more becoming a party owned by rich men who want to become through it, still richer. While many of its leadin" men treat the principles of the Declaration of Indejicndence —once its tnagna charter—with supercilious contempt, as antiquated nursery rhymes, the jiarty speaks with rapture about our material jirospe ity and our growing wealth, boasts of them as tue product of its policies and Jiaruues them as its main title to continued popular confidence and support.— Car! Schurz, the great German cholar. "Tae times are propitous for the reinstatement of the democratic party in control < f the government. The public mini is being disil-

lusioned ot the’pretension of the republican party, so long and s arro. gantly made, that the mater ial prosperity of the country depends upon its own ascendancy. Thought ful and patriotic people are Incoming more and more distrustful of the heady and jiersonal element of the present administrati-m. and are more than willing to see it replaced by one that better recognizes constitutional and other lawful restraints. They demand that th- 1 present wasteful extravagance in the expenditure of the money, drawn by taxation from the industry of the jieopie, shall cease, and that economy and honesty in the public service shall be again regarded as virtues in the high paces of the government. —Henry G. Davis. GOOD SPECIALTIES If you want to see a good money’s worth show don’t miss the opportunity of seeing “A Chicago Tramp," the new up-to-date sensational comedy drama.
