BE CONSERVATIVE The returns from the November 11 »■' — election are now complete. The figures show that the caleulation 8 first drawn were perhaps overdrawn. For instance the total vote was four hunddred thousand less than it was four years ago, and President Roosevelt, the lion of the hour, received the comparatively gain of four hundred and nine thousand'over the republican vote of 1900. The lesson here portrayed is that the republican candidate received but few democratic votes. On the other hand. Judge Parker received 1,277.712 fewer votes than were cast for Col. Bryan in 1900. It was k a tremenduous democratic slump of mere than a million votes and it to this that the president's great majority is due. Democrats may take comfort, at least, in the fact that the democrats did not vote the republican ticket. The work for them to do now is to support a policy in congress that will appeal to the logic and reason of the masses of the party. Not a policy of radicalism unless the exigencies of the situation demand it, but a well-talanced resonable policy. 1 While j many democrats intimate, that the time has for the de-1 mocracy to assume a radicaljcourse, ' the Democrat is of the frame of' mind, that never in the history of ■ the party did conservatism apjieal I so strongly. The republicans, in-1 toxicated with the belief that their

party is the custodian of the Almighty; intrenched behind an uncontrollable majority, they will • themselves tend to radicalism. It is to the staid and conservative democracy that the country will look for fair and [intelligent statesmanship. ____________ The Hon. Richard K. Erwin, judge of the Adams circuit court, and Dr. JohnW. Vizzard, represen- . tative-elect for Adams county, were in the city yesterday, Judge Erwin having presided in a case here and Dr. Vizzard being on his way to Lebanon. Ohio, to spend Chrismas with relatives. Adams county j captured the appellation of * * Indiana 's Green bpot” by electing its entire democratic ticket last fall ' and both gentlemen Tare proud of ( it. “The democracy isn’t dead by a long ways,” sail Judge Erwin last evening. “The democracy i cannot be killed because it repre sents the grandest principles in the fabric of America's government. ! Our reverses are only temporary. We have been beaten before worse than we were last fall. Horace was the worst beaten candidate for president in the history of this country, and yet, four years later Tilden the democratic nominee for president was elected, although he was counted out and deprived of his seat —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. According to John Aubery, who wrote a celebrated work on "the very queere Indian weede,” there was a time when tobacco was worth its weight in silver. Among other things Aubery says: "Sir Walter Raleigh was the first that brought tobacco into England. and in our parts—North Wilts—it came in fashion through Sir Walter Long. They used silver pipes, but the commoners used a walnut shell. It was sold then for its weight in silver. I have heard some of your old yeomen neighbors say that when they went to Chippenham to market they always culled out their shillings to lay in the j scales against the tobacco. Now the eustomeS ~f <t are among the greatest that his n> _>. hath." A 1 »t of Sobriety. Gentlemen who have put an enemy into their n mths are recommended to ■ try a very -;mple test for the purpose Os finding out whether weir brains have been stolen. They must stand | erect with their eyes closed, and if they can perform this feat for a brief I period they may come to the conclu■ion that they are all right. Two individuals who were accused of drunkenness at Pontefract proved that they had honorably stood the test, and the eases against them were dismissed, j The great merit of the plan is that it i ‘an be put into operation anywhere and at anv time.—London Tit-Bits.
