ONE LESSON TO BE LEARNED.

Ex<;oMyressman Whiting, fusion cand’datefoi governor of Michigan, writes t > Chairman Camp u ot: the Democratic st lie centra! committee,say* ing: “It is to be hopped that in the futuia we may profit by ihis defeat and uniteoly work for the t reat principles taught by Je.tersen and d > it under the simple omen Democracy.” Tne Toledo Bee, the leading Democratic npwspaper of northwestern Ohio, taking Mr. W k iting’s letter for a text, pro* ceeas to make an argument against fusion, declari g that a fusion policy doos not pay that when it wins it does more harm than good. Continuing, the Bee says: ‘The only fusion that amounts to anything is a nats ural fusion of men wh-j think aJ ike con .erning toe political principles which should g vs er u this country. The i *em< (*• r cy of Jefferson is thereat Democricy , id Ihe Democrat* ic party must stick to its text, ft must . e what Jefferson, Viadison, Monroe ndjjaokson wei e. it must be the champion ot humanity, equality, justice liberty. Every time P reaches out of its path to jolly some taction along with an em •* ergency ulank it loses ground its mission is t ups-t kiius and masters and mthrone the people; to recognize no aris* to racy save that of wor lr to dignify labor .nd capital ’by establishing the right relation O' tweeu men and insuring to each its right and preventing either fr m oppressing the other; to break down artificial barriers to ihe op. ra ion of natural laws; to humanize, civilize and organ ze the wirdto forever establish the principles f f the de laration 01 ii - dependence, to abolish gun government and bring about universal pe *co;to make stand ing armies and| great navies unnecessary.”! The principles of Demourac are right and will triumph, but tint triun ph will be hastened if tne Democratic parly is true to itself. If there is any lesson lo be learne 1 from rece.it political history it is that the great party of the people must have less regard for expedients and more regard for fundamental prinuipies... LaFa etie Journal T le above is pre-eminently correct. What ac mmenlary upon the methods pursued by tlie op; osition to t e republican pa ty in th s c mnty in the last campaign! The Democracy had no organization. The management was in tie hands of such well known populists as Lute Por. sler, Lute Strong, Marion I- Adams, L. E. GlazeIn ook, Frank Welsh, et. al., assisted by such well known democrats (?) as D W. Shields late a slockholder and director in lhe Pilot company, dec’d and a few others. Principles were ignored, a.id th: sole ?s----sue was made by them m th 3 ere tion f, and expenditures for, the new court house, in the hope that a sufficient number of lepubl.can votes would be se ur d to help the county icket cut —ihe state a.id district tickets were not considered in thejdeal. In fact, a large proportion cf thepopuhsts vo* tea their state tick t straight. At no time was the demo critic committee-if there is such a committee— called to meet lor consultation. The campaign was conducted on tn© ’ still hunt” plan. A few tew meetings were hdd, addressed b/populist speakers. A small, cneap outfit was procured and an original republican i stalled by Bhr .ds! as organ grinder. And possibly ie gave the same assurance to Strong, as was given by H E. James in 1874, when askei if, ben g a republ can, he co’d o justice in his assumed role Hon. John B Stoll, editor of th South Bend Times, refers to the results of fusion, thusly: ‘Frightfully expensive has been the alliance with populism. All the democratic ernors that were electe i in the Worth before this unnatural uliance was entered into,have . 3w ept out of offic u not a singly one remains to remind Jn of better days. With them

gb all the democratic United btates Senators that once repsented the great eastern and central weste. n States in the upper b .anch of our national legislature.” At a meeting of the Democratic Stat e Committee just prior to the opening of the campaign, the proposition of fusi n received a black eye And in the ‘ tate onvention the announcement that a c indiiaie had populistic backing was sufficient to defeat his nomination. Hereafter Wr> trust the Democracy of Jasper county will stand by its principles and its party organizati n, and in the s dection of candidates let the test be honesty a nd capability, and from year to year it will increase in streni th,and finally come out victor.

SENATOR TURPIE.

South Bend Times: Noone need to worry about Senator Turpie.— While not a rich man in the modern acceptation of that t rm, he is comfortably situated financia 1y... If he cares to practice law alter the expiration of lis term, Le cab earn a good deal more than his wants require. The probabilities are that he will take it after the 4th of March. He has been a hard-worker loves his books, is partial to good ccmpanv, takes to politics as a duck does to water, is an unswerving Democrat, believes in in the largest | ibertv of the individual compatible with law and order, despises hypocrisy and cant, and takes a just pride in the grandeur and glory of tie Amer/can 1 epublic.

W 9 Bat $10,000,000 Worth of Ptaamta Every Year, j The peanuts which are sold by strsst venders and others are not the flrefr class article, says a dealer, 'rhe best peanuts are used for other purposes. They are made into meal and grits by ’ scientific men, and in Germany they are prepared for sick people In the hos» pltals. The peanuts yeu get In candy tre the very poorest grade. j Peanuts originally came from Central and South America. They there in long pods, and the pods oon ! tain from four to five kernels. They were carried to the old world In the early days, and In the seventeenth century they constituted the chief st*i pie of Africa. The negroes who were Imported from Africa to this country brought over the peanut and they Arst grew in Virginia. And now this coon- ! try is raising the crop, and, owing te American shrewdness, the nut is ! ground and used for various purposes and shipped all over the world. i In 1861 and 1865 peanut oil was man- ' ufactured largely in four Southern States, and was employed as a substitute for Clive oil. Sometimes peanut oil is used-for lighting, and again it is utilized to advantage in the making es 1 soap and as a lubricant in machine shops. The American peanut is larger and better flavored than any other, but it does not contain so much oil as the African nut. The “cake” which Is left after extracting the oil makes excellent feed for cattle, and is used very largely for that purpose In Germany, where it sells for from S3O to $33 a ton. The United States now produces 4,000,000 bushels of peanuts annually, or 88,000,000 pounds. The total worid‘s ■upply amounts to about 600,000,000 pounds. It is estimated that slo,ooo< 000 worth are eaten every - year in the United States.

SENSATIONS IN ILLNESS.

Cnrlona Bow a Man Feela When Knows He Need* a Doctor. "It Is curious,** said a men yesterday “the various sensations a man experiences when he goes to see a doctor or * lentlst. There is a long, preliminary, siege of mental agony, alternately exaggerating 2nd belittling your ailment, until finally in a moment of desperation you decide to go and see what U th* matter, anyway. Perhaps you have a cold, which has settled on lhe iungg and developed a troublesome cough that keeps yon awake nights. The cough Itself is not so bad as the terrible possibilities It suggest*. Vision* of swift demise from pneumonia o| slow, wasting away with consumptio< rise up before your eyes, and ever* wheeze and cough confirms these terrb ble premonition* If you could, yoa would go then In a hurry, but in th* morning you feel better. "The eough Is still there, but the terrors of the imagination have fled b» fore the daylight, you put it off ano they day. But finally decide to go, and with firmness born of despair, march up to the medical man’s door to learn your fate. In the case of toothache every one knows how a tooth will hop and Jump and smart all day until you get to the dentist’s, and then calm down so quiet and painless that you can’t tell whldh one was aching. It Is the same way with a cough or other aliment Aa you go up to the secretly hope that the doctor Is nW at home. You gull the doorbell gently, and half wish that you had not come. Then the funniest part of it all Is how mad you wIM get when you find the doctor Is not at home, and feel as If you had been cheated out of on* of your dearest hope*.”—Washington Post

His Clothes Were Deceiving, A queer Incident took place yesterday In the office of one of the natural ga* companies. A seedy-looklng and poorly dressed u An entered the offloe and Mk*d for the president. The clerlf Whom he addressed had been annoyed more than usual of late by beggar* and tramps and replied brusquely: "Well, he don’t want to see you, so clear out unless you have some business here, and If you have you can transact, it with me.’’ “All right, I can deaf with you. I did want to refer the president to a customer who Is desirevs of taking some stock In a new enterprise he is about to embark In. But I can see him at another time when he Is not so carefully guarded by such zealous subordinates. I will pay the gas bill for my North Meridian street house, however, and I suppose you will be good enough to take my money,” The clerk’s eyes bulged until they were In danger of dropping from their position when he was handed from a Well-filled wallet a hundred-dollar bill to change In payment of a good-slsed monthly account. He had been dealing with one of the city’s most prominent and prosperous workingmen who did not see It necessary to cease hl* manual because he had accumulated a fair proportion of wealth.—lndJanap' oils Sentinel. 9

royalty is cursed with exfiS’iJble teeth, the result of consanguineous marriages throughout counties* Jwnsratlons, and even the princes of UM reigning, house of Sweden, who are of plebeian origin, the grandfather of the present King having been born an a peasant at Pan, on the French slope Of the Pyrennes, suffer from bad teeth, necessitating much science and tklllln treatment It is only natural, therefore, that they should have frequent resource to dentists, and, inasmuch as dental surgery has attained a greater degree of science and profleb »ncy in the United States than in Europa, it Is American doctors as a rule who have been intrusted with the welters of royalty’s Jaws.

Common Errors in Speech.

The verb to get is one «f our much Abraded words; it mean? to acquire, win. obtain; and, primarily, I*. signifies the putting forth pf effort to attain Something. Consequently ft; not only tuperfluous, but incorrect, to speak of a man as “getting drowned' or ick and you may, unfortunately, *bave a oold,” btfi. it Is ImpcsslMe that you “have got a cold.” At this moment no exceptions occur to the writer to the rale that got should never be used in ■Nino ection with have, which alone sufMostly expresses uosseaslon. a*» ‘d
