Good Advice TO tho Democratic Party.

| Good Advice 10 tho Democratic Party.
The advice of the COoperstown (N W
Freemdns Journal to the democratic party is
that of man who looks the political situation
fairly in the face, with the purpose of meeting
| the necessities of the crisis. Thus our rural
contemporary says that this years elections,
| especially those of Connecticut and California.
''are among the indications that the democratic
party, as now organized, is in minority in the
Unon;" that ''the defeat of the republicans
in New Hampshire was not democratic victory
in the true sense of the term" that ''Ohio
will be carried next month by the republicans
almost beyond doubt" that ''Pennsyvania
will very likely go the same ways" that ''t
must then be acknowledged that there is little
or no hope Of success with Hoffman (who is
not candidate for the Presidential nomina-
tom, nor for Hendricks, Pendleton or any
old democratic leader of that class" In all of
which opinions we concur, because they are
opinions over and over again expressed by the
HERALD.
But why will none OF these old stagers Of
1864 and 1868 answer for 1922 Our rural
contemporary aforesaid answers the question
by frankly confessing that the democratic
party wants candidate who will draw some
reinforcements from the conservatives of the
republican party; because the democratic
party cannot succeed without such reinforce
ments that the Presidential candidate Of the
party must be some such satisfactory man on
the ''new departure" as Chief Justice Chase
or Governor Gratz Brown, cor some other
man of that stamp" And this, too, is our
opinion. But, says our Cooperstown phloso-
pher-and he is pbilosopher-'t the first step
towards this much needed success (the national
success of the democracy is that they carry
the State of New York for the democratic
ticket this fall; for, says he, 'let New York
90 republican this fall and Grant will claim
his reelection as certain to follow" Just so;
and we think it may be said that the democrats
themselves will admit that if they lose New
York this fall they are gone, shook and line,
bob and sinker."
In order to save New York, however, the
managers Of the party should get their State
Convention together at an early day, so as to
take the new departure demanded In reference
TO our city affairs. Instead of considering this
important subject, the Democratic State CON-
mttee have called their State Convention to
meet on the 4th of October, week after the
Republican Convention, because the Demo-
cratic Committee want to see first what the
republicans will do. They will be apt to steal
the very thunder which will be most effective
in the elections and so here we have demo-
cratic blunder which, If not corrected, may
cost the party the loss Of the State. Our
Coopcrstown philosopcr intimates that the

The Customs Treaty Between Germany
md France.

md France.
Since the close of The late war Alsace and
Lorraine, the ceded-or, if the reader prefers
1t, onquered-provinces have been most
unfortunately circnmstanced. The provinces
mainly depended on their manufactures. But
the whole system of arrangements made them
dependent on France. Cut off from their ancient
market and not yet having time to obtain
new, their condition was miserable in the
extreme. 1t was natural that in these circum-
stances Alsace and Lorraine should be discon-
tented and even disanfected. The treaty Just
concluded, if we understand it Alright, gives
them their ancient privileges with France
So Tar as trade is concerned they are as they
were before the war broke out. In concluding
this customs treaty we think France has done
well. To conclude such treaty was no doubt
against the grain of the French people Bat
the German has had to pay for it. The one
thing which France desires and needs now,
next TO freedom from her debt obligations, is
the evacuation of her territory by the German
forces In consideration of what Germany
gains by the treaty Germany consents to evacu-
ate the departments Of the Aisne, Aube, Cote
dor and Jura and to reduce the whole army
of occupation to fifty thousand men. As
we have said il was good and wise thing for
France to do. We hope soon to see France
herself again, and we feel convinced that this
customs treaty will not retard her recovery.

A TOUCHING INCIDENT.

Some years ago we visited Portsmouth,
n. H., to attend mass meeting of the
Washingtonians AS we were passing
along one of the principal streets, our at
tention was attracted by the noise OF bell
succeeded by the stentorian tones OF the
sturdy crier who was announcing the
meeting. AS he approached near we said
to him:
"Friend hope you are personally in
terested in the object about which you are
making so much noise for the benefit OF
Others"
..Ah ~ said he. Il am glad you men,
toned it. | want to tell you l was an
awful drunkard once. I'll tell you what
turned me round. was terribly dry, one
morning, and wanted some rum; |
handed my youngest boy, only six years
old, some coppers and jug, and told
him to go and get me pint of rum. 1t
was real cool morning. and Willies
trowsers were thin and ragged. and he had
no great coat nor mittens. Willie didn't
want to go but l scolded him, and he
started a few steps, and then stopped and
said:
Father, l wish you would give me a
cent to buy stick of candy"
l told him to go along and not bother
me about stick of candy. The little fel-
low began to cry, and stammered out
Father, you never give me any money
to buy candy. Tommy Jones Che was the
rum-seller's boy) has candy every day,

"Good God" said /, ''has it come to this

away, proclaiming as before, the invita-
ton to attend the great convention. The
name of the noble man has passed from
memory; but the story is fresh in our
mind, and is given very nearly in his own
words.
