TUB REAL, DIFFERENCE.
The editor of The Commoner Is In
receipt of a letter from a man born
in Russia, but recently naturalized, lie
Bays that he appreciates the responsi
bility of citizenship and desires to dis
charge his duty Intelligently and pa
triotically. He has some difficulty in
deciding with which party to act, be
cause, he says that the party names
represent the same Ideas of govern
ment, and that if the parties are true
to their nanus they are much alike.
Yet, thinking there must be a wide
distinction to justify active party con
tests, he asks for Information ad to the
real distinction between them.
The party names themselves do not
indicate any essential difference be
tween the parties. In fact, the demo
cratic party, when organized by Jef
ferson, was known as the republican
party. As the democratic title brings
out the idea that the people rule, while
the republican nam, emphasizes the
fact that the rule is ;h rough represen
tatives, it might be aigued that the
democratic party wot Id bring the gov
ernment a little nea-'er to the people,
while the republican party would have
more faith in representatives of the
people than in the people themselves,
and yet this distinction is not neces
sarily indicated by the names, al
though thore is thi general distinc
tion between the beliefs of many of
J the members of the vv.-o parties. It is
not unusual, nowevev, lor party narn;s
to be twisted from t'.i-ir original moan-
lng ami applied to tnnerent ideas at
different times. The democratic party
stands for the doc tilne of "equal right
to all and special privileges to none.'
It protests against, the use of the gov
ernment for the benefit of a few at the
expense of the many, whether thi
favoritism be shown in a protective
tariff that burdens the consumers for
the benefit of manufacturers, or in
financial system that sacrifices wealth
producers to the mnoey-changers, or
in imperialism which barters away
fundamental principles of governmen
to enable syndicates to exploit distant
'ands. It is not strange either th
the democratic party, jealous of any
infringement upon the rights of the
masses, should oppose private monop
olies whic h, under the pretense of de
veloping industry, ismply gather in the
profits of industry and reduce to
minimum the number of those who are
to be the recipients of the benefits o
industrial progress.
The republican parts, on the other
hand, has turned from the defense of
human rights to the emphasizing: of
property rights. It has helped manu
facturers to levy tribute upon the rest
of the people; in return for campaign
contributions it has permitted the
financiers to make laws for their own
enrichment, and in order to open new
fields for corporations it has adopted
the English colonial system. Without
daring to defend the trusts as bene
ficial it has failed either to enforce
existing laws against them or to de
vise new laws for their extermination.
This difference between the parties
Is not due to party name nor entirely
to the fundamental principles advo
cated by the party leaders. It is partly
due to environment. The republican
party was in power during the war;
the foundation for a great many for
tunes was laid in government contracts
and in legislation that was primarily
snacted under the spur of what was
--ailed a war necessity. It was natural
that the recipients of benefits should
not only turn with gratitude to the
party that granted them, but should
seek to keep that party in power in or
der that the benefits might continue
The republican party has thus become
obligated to, and identified with, preda
tory wealth, and it is not in position to
punish those who are so influential in
its counsels. Since 189G, however, the
democratic party has not only stood
for the rights of the plain people, but
has been free from the embarrassing
support of the great money magnates.
THE RE-ELECTION OF SENATOR
TELLER.
The re-election of Senator Teller is
most gratifying to his associates in the
senate and to democrats everywhere.
Hi3 long public service, his high char
acter, his moral courage, his conscien
tious devotion to duty and his fidelity
to the people of his state, all combine
to make him conspicuous among the
members of the senate and to endear
him to all who feel an interest in pub
lic affairs. The only regrettable fea
ture is that his majority in the legis
lature was so small. lie deserved a
unanimous re-election; he has done
nothing to justify the opposition of
any who stood wUh him in 1896. On
the contrary, there is more reason why
he should receive the support of Colo
rado today than there was in 1896. The
great principles involved in the cam
paign of 1896 are still unsettled, and
the questions between organized
wealth and the masses are still at is
sue. The republican party has gone
even farther than it had dared to go
at that time, and has shown more
plainly even than it then had its sub
serviency to corporate greed. The re
publicans of Colorado did not care to
put Mr. Wolcott up as their standard
bearer during the campaign, and his
post-election attempt to secure the
senatorial toga wiH weaken the re
publican party in Colorado. The Com
moner voices a widespread sentiment
when it expresses the hope that the
country may have the benefit of Sena
tor Teller s services ror many years
to come.
A Cleveland, Ohio, physician has de

JOINT RESOLUTION.
"Whereas. Article V. of the Consti
tution of the United Stales provides
that "the congress, whenever two
thirds of both houses shall deem it
necessary, shall propose amendments
to this constitution, or on the applica
tion of the legislatures of two-thirds
of the several states shall call a con
vention for proposing amendments,
whic h in either case shall be valid to
all intents and purposes as part of this
constitution, when ratified by the leg
islatures of three-fourths of the several
Elates, or by convention in three
fourths thereof.' etc.. and.
"Whereas. Tne house of representa
tives of the congress of the United
.States has on four separate occasions
passed by a two-thirds vote a resolu
tion proposing an amendment to the
constitution providing for the election
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people, and,
"Whereas. The O'tcd States senate
has each time refused to consider or
vote upon said resolution, thereby
denying to the people of the several
states a chance to secure this much
desired change in the method of elect
ing senators, therefore, be it
"Resolved. By the senate and house
of representatives of the state of .
that, under the authority of Article V.
of the Constitution of the United
States, application is hereby made to
congress to forthwith call a constitu
tional convention for the purpose of
submitting to tha states for ratifica
tion, an amendment to the federal con
fctitutlon providing for the election of
United States senators by direct vote
t,r ti people and,
"Resolved. That'th
e secretary of the
state be, and is hereby, directed to for
ward a properly authenticated copy of
these resolutions to the president of
the United States, to the president of
the senate of the United States, and to
the speaker of the house of representa
tives of the United States."
The various legislatures are urged to
take up and pass immediately the
above resolution or some resolution of
the same import to the end that this
question may be brought before the
present congress and action secured
before adjournment.
Of course, it is much more cumber
some to call a convention for this par
pose than to secure an amendment
through a resolution passed by con
gress refuses to act this alternative is
necessary. It is probable, however,
that if two-thirds of the states make
application for a convention the sen
ate will act on the resolution now be
fore it and thus make the convention
unnecessary. Surely, no senator would
be likely to stand put against the prop
osition after his state had passed a
resolution asking for a constitutional
convention. In this way the power
that remains with the legislatures can
be used to compel action by the sen
ate. It is to be hoped that the democrats,
who favor this proposition, as nearly
all democrats do, will not attempt to
make party capital out of it. In legis
latures that are republican the demo
crats should allow some republican to
introduce the resolution in order to
give it greater probability of immedi
ate consideration. In democratic legis-
1
tures the democrats can take the
initiative.
Let no time be lost. Act
at once.
REFORM THE SENATE NOW
The c onstitution of the United States
provides that a constitutional amend
ment shall be submitted to the several
states for ratification whenever two-
thirds of both houses shall deem it
necessary. The came article also pro
vides that congress shall call a conven
tion for proposing amendments 'on
the application of the legislatures of
two-thirds of the several states."
The people have been trying for
years to reform tne method of electing
United States senators. A resolution
proposing the necessary amendment
to the constitution has passed the
house four -imes and. as proof that the
amendment was not confined to one
party, it may be added that this reso
lution passed two democratic houses
and two republican houses. The last
democratic platform contained a plank
demanding the election of senators by
direct vote of the people, and similar
action has been taken . by several
states.
In Illinois, last November, the ques
tion was voted upon, and although the
state went republican by about 90,000,
there was a large majority in favor of
the election of senators by the people.
Having waited a reasonable length
of time for the senate to acquiesce in
this public demand, it is now time for
the people to reform the senate
whether it wishes to be reformed or
not. and this power is in their hands.
If the legislatures of two-thirds of the
states will adopt resolutions asking
congress to call a convention for the
purpose of submitting this amendment.
it then becomes an imperative duty
which even the senate can not refuse
to perform.
The Commoner proposes the follow-
ng resolution and urges its adoption
by legislatures now in session:
The Omaha World-Herald declares
that "the admission of Arizona, New
Mexico, Oklahoma and the Indian ter
ritory at this session would be an act
of simple justice." Quite true, and in
that fact lies the reason for the oppo
sition manifest in certain congres
sional circles.
Delaware refuses to be Addicksed
and Colorado refused to be Wolcotted.
It is rougn sledding for Addicks and
Wolcott ,but it is a credit to Delaware
and Colorado.
The Salt Lake City Tribune declares
that "Mr. Bryan should forget some
things." Mr. Bryan is trying to for
get what a sorry figure Mr. Perry S.
Heath cut in the Utah senatorial con
flict. The democratic party will not nomi
nate a man for the presidency whose
democracy must be certified to by the
republican organs and leaders.
Perhaps the president will next ven
ture the assertion that there are "good
trusts," but they have been hypnotized
by the bad ones.
The Cuban reciprocity bill, so lately

THE SOLDIERS OF JAPAN.
There Will Soon be 450.0C0 Men
Trained for Military Service.
Japanese soldiers of all ranks ap
pear never to be unmindful fir ar
instant of the service In whic. they'
are engaged, saye the Pittsburg Tost.
They do not dissipate. The littlg rec
reation that they give themselves la
quiet and innocen and they eep
their eyes and douotless their m'.nds
on their bubiness. Little is hcar-f of
w ork abroad on Japanese mill airy
and naval account, but from tho
minuteness of their information re
garding the China field, when none
of the cgher allies know more than
could be obtained from public maps,
a point will not be strained in suppos
ing the employment in this line of
much industry that is not advertised.
There may well be occasion for inter
national surprise should Japan at any
time find itself involved in a war for
which it will r.ot be amply prepared.
When the military scheme now in
process of development shall be com
pleted there will be 450,000 men under
the age of forty years, trained for
military service, divided equally
among troops with the colors and
men enrolled respectively in the first
and second reserves. This takes no
account of the masses with military
training, who may have passed the
age of forty, nor of an element quite
as eager and promising under the age
of 20 years. Company drill has been
imposed in the government schools
and many of the private schools have
adopted it.
NELLIE ETT HEEN'S HOMESTEAD
Special Act of Congress Gives China
man a Farm.
Nellie Ett Heen married a China
man, and is now on a fair way to own
a North Dakota farm by special act ol
Congress. The family history of the
Heens came up in the House of Repre
sentatives this week, when a bill was
passed granting to Nellie Ett Heen the
south half of the northwest quarter of
and lot 4 of section 2 and lot 1 of sec
tion 3, in township 154, north of range
101 west, in the State of North Da
kota. When all of this was transmit
ted to the House after being read
by the clerk it was found that Nellie
Ett Heen was a white woman who had
married a Chinaman. The Chinaman
had duly taken up a land claim, and
the preliminary papers had passed
muster. After the required number
of years had been spent on the farm
and the necessary improvements
made to "prove up," the land office
discovered that Heen was an Orien
tal, and also that no Chinaman could
become a citizen of the United States
and that no one not a citizen of the
United States could secure land undei
the homestead act.
The appeal was then made to Con
gress for a special act deeding the
land to Nellie Ett, the Chinaman's
white wife, and when this explanation
was made there was no objection to
the passage of the bill. Washington

Young Inventors the Rule.
That rare quality of the mind which
enables a man to be a real inventor
seems to pronounce Itself more in
youth than in middle life. Youth is
the time of application, and there are
certain elements in the ordinary make
up of a young man that may be fos
tered in his probationary period. To
Marconi's tenacity of purpose the
world will owe much. He is now only
30. It is now five years since he sent
Queen Victoria's memorable message
from ashore by wireless telegraph to
the prince of WTales on his yacht. The
young Italian has never faltered in
his ambition. "Tom" Edison, the king
of all inventon, and the first to con
gratulate Marconi, was 26 when he
devised the wonderful quadruplex sys.
tem of telegraphy. At 34 he had two
salons of the Paris electrical exhibi
tion filled with his inventions. The
old-timers, too. with the divine gift of
invention, were all young men. Elias
Howe, at 2G, had invented the sew
ing machine. Sir Henry Bessemer at
25 was one of the "forty immortals'
of the French academy.
She With the Violin.
A strain of muic 'mid the trees.
Set forth by dimpled hands.
More sweet than all the melody
Of unseen fairy bands
Comes out to me to charm my ear;
I hearken, then begin
To know the old familiar tunes
Played on her violin.
I hold my breath to listen;
"Tis faint, but oh. how sweet!
I'd go the world around to hear
And worship at her feet.
I wish that all the winds would cease
And warblers hush their din.
That I might feast my soul the while
She plays her violin.
Enchanted by the tuneful spell,
I follow In its train;
I catch one glimpse of her fair face,
I hear one glad refrain.
And, as she draws her bow across
The strings beneath her chin,
I long to kiss the lips of her
Who plays the violin.

How a Great Invention Was Born.
The production of the weaver
came from a native of Bury the in
vention of the fly shuttle in the year
1733.
Before this Invention for weaving
we were not superior to any other in
the world. The mummy cloths of
Egypt, the robes of the Queen of'
Sheba or of Cleopatra, and the tapes
tries of Babylon, of the vestments of
the cavaliers, the garments of Queen
Anne, were all spun and woven by
simple tools differing very little from
one another. The distaff and the
spinster's wheel and rude frames call
ed looms were the only methods
known to mankind before this great
invention of Kay of Bury. Cassler's

Ancient and Pvlodern Ideas on the Subject,
Time and Disease the Effacing Agents
of Beauty. What Has Science Done
to Restore the Lily and the Rose?
Socrates called beauty a short-lived
tyranny, Plato a privilege of nature,
Theocritus a delightful prejudice,
Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades
a solitary kingdom. Homer a glorious
gift of nature, Ovid a favor of the
gods. Aristotle afllrmcd that beanty
was better than all the letters of recom
mendation In the world, and yet none
of these distinguished authorities has
left us even a hint of how beauty is to
be perpetuated, or the ravages of oge
and disease defied. Time boon blends
the lily and the rose into the pallor of
Bge, disease dots the fair face with
cutaneous disfigurations and crimsons
the Roman nose with unsightly Hushes,
moth, if not rust, corrupts the glory
of eyes, teeth, and lips yet beautiful by
defacing the complexion, and tills the
sensitive soul with agony unspeakuble.
If such be the unhappy condition of
one afflicted with flight skin blemishes,
what must be the feelings of those In
whom torturing humors have for
years run riot, covering tho skin with
scales and sores and charging the
blood with poisonous elements to
become a part of the pystcni until
death? It is vain to attempt to por
tray such suffering. Death in many
cases might be considered a blessing.
The blood and fluids seem to be im
pregnated with a flery element -which,
when discharged through tho pores
upon the surface of the body, inflames
and burns until, in his cflbrts for relief,
tha patient tears the skin with his
nails, and not uutil the blood flows
does sufficient relief come to cause him
to desist.
Thus do complexlonal defects merge
into torturing disease, and piqued van
ity give place to real suffering. A
little wart on the nose or cheek grows
to the all-devouring lupus, a patch of
tetter on the palm of the hand or on
the limbs suddenly envelops the body
in its licry embrace, a bruise on the leg
expands into a gnawing ulcer, which
reaches out its fang& to the sufferer's
heart in every paroxysm of pain, a
small kernel in the neck multiplies into
a dozen, which eat away the vitality,
great pearl-like scales grow from little
rash-like inflammations in such abun
dance as to pass credulity; and so on
may we depict the sufferings to which
poor human nature is subject, a'l of
which involve great mental distress
because of per?on?.! disfigurations.
If there were not another external
disease known, eczema alone would be
a sufficient infliction on mankind. It
pervades all classes, and descends im
partially through generations. While
some are constantly enveloped in it.
others have it confined to &mall
patches in the ears, on the scalp, on
the breast, on the palms of the hands,
on the limbs, etc., but everywhere its
distinctive feature is a email watery
blister, which discharges au acrid
fluid, causing heat, inflammation, and
intense itching. Ring-worm, Utter,
scalled head, dandruff, belong to this
scaly and itching order of diseases.
Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with
its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on
a reddened base, which bleeds upon
the removal of the scale, is to be
dreaded and avoided, as of old. Im
petigo, barber's itch, erysipelas, and a
score of minor disorders make up in
part the catalogue of external diseases
of the skiu. Thus far we have made
no allusion to those afflictions which
are manifestly impti rities of the blood,
yiz. : swelling of the glands of the
throat, ulcers on the neck and limbs,
tumors, abscesses, and mercurial

Cuticura Soap contains in a modified
form the medicinal properties of Cuti
cura Ointment, the great kin c ure and
purest and sweetest of emollients, com
bined with the most delicate and re
freshing of flower odors. It purideM
and Invigorates the pores of the in,
and Imparts activity to the oil glands
and tubes, thus furnishing an outlet
for unwholesome mutter, which If re
tained would cause pimples, black
heads, rashes, oily, inothy skin, and
other complexlonal disfigurations, us
well as scalp affections and Irritations,
falling hair, and baby rashes. Its gen
tle and continuous action on thciiatural
lubricators of the skin keeps the letter
transparent, soft, flexible, and heal l by.
Hence its constant use, assisted by nn
occasional use of Cuticura Ointment,
realizes the fairest complexion, tho
softest, whitest hands, and the most
luxuriant, glossy hair within the do

Cuticura Ointment Is the most fnc
cossful external curative for torturing,

sufficient to aff.srd immediate relief in
the most distressing forms of itching,
burning, and scaly humors, permit rest
and sleep, and point to a speedy euro
when all other remedies fall. It is espe
cially so in the treatment of infants
and children, cleansing, poo thin:.', ar.d
healing the most distressing of infan
tile humors, and preserving, purifying,
and beautifying the skin, scalp, and
hair. 4
Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the
same time, the charm of satisfying
the simple wants of the tolkt of all
ages, in caring for the -kin, pealp,
hair, and hands far more effectually,
agreeably, and economically than the
most expensive of toilet emollients,
while free from every ingredient of a
doubtful or dangerous character. It
"One Nlaht Treatment of the Hands,"
or " Single Treatment of the Hair," or
use after athletics, cycling, golf, ten
nis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each
in connection with the use of Cuticura
Soap, is sufficient evidence of this. 'J
Of all remedies for the purification

resolves away (hence Its name) scrofu
lous, inherited, and other humors in

of the glands, pains in the bones, and

remedies alone.
The grandest testimonial that can
be offered Cuticura remedies is their
world-wide sale, due to the personal
recommendations of those who have
used them. It is difficult to realize tho
mighty growth of the business done
under this name. From a small begin

udice and opposition, against inonled
hosts, countless rivals, and trade in
