THROVTNG AWAY CHANCES.

Governor Butler, of Massachusetts, has
habit Of SAYING things that arc rather ont OF the
common and seem to be very wise. They are
not precisely "icwcls five words long that on
the stretched foreiinger of all time sparkle for
ever" but they hayca certain flavor of orgi-
nality and a quality Of freshness that make them
remembered for a month OF two at leas His
first invention during the war-or rather dis
coycry, for it could hardly be called invention
was when he applied the term "contraband
to the escaping slaves whom he was called
upon by Rebel masters to return to their owners
under the provisions OF the Fugitive Slave
Law lie used another phrase when he was IN
command at Ncw-Orleans which had a currency
Of which h. i, probably not now so proud.
when Ii proposed 10 treat certain persons, who
forgot their self respect in their anger at tine
occupation Of the city by Union troops, rs
"plying their VOCATION But he is less fresh,
less original. less picturesque now than then.
He attempts to say striking things nowadays
without doing it, He undertakes to surprise
an audience with some original and striking
remark. and only succeeds in reaching the
level OF absolute trtcncss and commonplace.
I'm the last interview in which he permitted
himself 10 be dragged into public notice ne is
reported as saying with a very impressive
manner that the Democrats in the next PIcSi-
dental election have great opportunity and
can win unless they throw the chance away
Democratic newspapers are turning over this
exceedingly wise remark Is though there were
something in il worth serious consideration
something fresh and new. The truth Is,
however, that nothing has been 50 current IN
political discussion for twenty-five years. 1t
does not take Il wonderful mind or great
original genius to discover the most patent
fact in political history. 1t has been said over
and over again ever since this purbllnd party
flung it.cf against the Kansas Nebraska
business III sol and went to pieces. The party
has been simply remarkable for thirty years
for having chances and throwing them away.
And we are ~ confident as We can be of any
thing in the future that the chances which
look 50 BRIGHT 10 Governor Buffers eyes to-
day will bc thrown away within month after
the Opening Of the next session OF Congress, If
indeed they have not been already worStcd.
Ii has It's innings invariably in the off years.
II waves its strength and cXharsts its Opp0r
,nnitics with tie first burst of public favor,
and a Disguised public Immediately hoists it
ont. Governor Butler instead of saying the
Democrats "can win unless they throw the
chance away" might have said with equal
certainty "thcy cannot win because they are
sure to throw their chance away They get
a taste of power upon the strength of their
opponents blundcrs, and proceed Immediately
To make such worse ones that the voting
people lose all patience with them, and upon
the first occasion bounce them out They
"hayc Il great opportunity II Is true and
that is what they habtually throw away.

vJ,L THE DEMOCRACY OEDER A DRlFT

FILL THE DEMOCRACY ORDER DEBIT
1t must he painfully evident to every DEM
ocrat who LAYS clam TO ordinary intelligence,
and whose claim is allowed 10y his nelghbors,
that it will be impossible TO secure Platform
Committee for the next State Convention OF his
PARTY without ordering draft. For surely no
Democrat in his right mind will voluntarily
consent to serve upon that committee. A. Plat
form Committee, as everybody knows, is cX-
pccted to point with pride 10 something that
the party has recently done. But the undcni-
able fact is that the Democracy OF this state
has done nothing of any account TINS year 10
which it can point with pride. The quarrel of
the factions which was composed at the SYRIA
cusc Convention fox revenue only has been
renewed. That cannot he pointed to with
pride. The Governor has shown himself incap-
able of the leadership whose fruits are har-
mony. That cannot be pointed to with pride.
The late Democratic Legislature made itself u
record which all the chloride OF lime on tie
continent cannot cause TO emit a sweet Odor in
the nostrils OF tie people. That cannot be
pointed to with pride Since the ycaI opened,
ten out of the thirteen planks Of the platform
0doutcd bv the Syracusc Convention of last fail
have been wantonly broken 10y the chosen rep
rescntatives of Democracy. That cannot be
pointed to with pride. Weadmit that the Clcve-
land administration embraces praiscworthy
features but how is 4 Platform Committee go
ing to point with pride to them if Kelly and
other Tammany delegates, with Murlha in
mind, are present in the convention And so,
too, although the course Of the last Legislature
was not utterly bad, yet the Platform Com
mItee that should undertake 70 point with
pride 20 the few things which it did well would
be reck0ned blunGcIer, since TO do so would
be to direct attention to the many things which
il did that were worse than discreditable.
Yes, the draft is the thing, and il will he the
arduous duty of the State Committee to order
it. If we mistake not "A cOnscripred Platform
Committee will be something new i'll the pol
tiles of the country. How its nine unfortunate
membcrs-Who will have the sympathy of the
entire country-will discharge the supcr-del-
cate, not TO say dreadfully mortIfying, trust
committed to their hands. remains to be seen.

From two widely separated points in the
South comes news of homcidcs which certainly
would not have happened had public sentiment
in those places been on the side of law and
order. In Henrietta, Tex, c. VI. Burgess, a
well-known miiian, was shot by W. K. Curtis,
STYLED in the dispatch "thc Cattle King
Cmtis had been threatened by Burgess. and
when the men met at the post-oilcc on sunday
the shooting promptly began. Two spectators
were wounded At Floyd Court House, Va,
4 United states Collector shot doctor vino had
threatened him. Public sentiment III both
towns is reported as sustaining the slayeIS.
Public sentiment might far better sustain the
law providcd for such cases before they end IN
blood Why could not these men who went
about uttering threats have been put under
bonds or arrest to keep the peacef If that
remedy had been TIED, and failed, then the
argument of self-dcfcncc would be received
with more respect. To put man quietly
under ARE st who threaten, YOU ia humdrum
proceeding perhaps; but II comments ltSc'f to
ali respectable communities as being better
than pistol shooting. 1t is safer also Tor

The meeting of the members of the Irish M
tional League at Cooper Institute last night, to
mark the opening OF their work i'll this city
was comparatively quiet gathering. The hall
was not crowded, and yet New DIRK is great
Irish city. The speeches and resolutions gen
orally were moderate in tone. Nothing was said
of Leo Mills letter to the Irish clergy. APP
parently the agitators here are wise enough to
see that that is good topic 20 let alone. Praise
it they cannot to denounce it would be too
much like tempting Proyidence-or the Pope.

One effect of the Pope's letter to the Irish
bishops is already seen on this side of the ocean
in the action of the Roman Catholic clergymen
in Montreal. They are discouragng the aflilia-
ton of the Irish organizations in that city with
the Irish National League established at Phila-
delphia. The position of the Irish priests in
Canada is much more delicate than that of the
Clergy in the United States. In view of the
little influence which the Canadian societies
would have in the management of the League,
and the responsibility they would have to
shoulder if anything disloyal to England were

FORK OF THE HOUSE OF REFUGE.

The Now York House of Refuge or the Society
for the Reformation OF Juvenile Delinquents on
Randalps Island, in ITS ffty-eight annual report
states that 20,624 children have been receivsd n
the House of Refnge since its opening IN 1929
Last year 775 were received and there we've Sll in
tho House on October /. The receipts for tho year
were 1851 ,O51 43. During the year the grounds
have been drained and the plumbing of the House
improved under the direction OF the Board OF
Health Only three deaths occurred. The children
rescued from degrading surroundings are given the
benefit of home Influences and taught the elements
of education besides being trained to habits OF in
dnstry and practical knowledge OF such employment
rs may give them the means Of future support.
The managers desire to separate the younger chill
dren committed to their care from those more ad-
vauced in crime. 1t IL also suggested that the Leg
islature should provide for the establishment OF an
Agricultural Department, or Farm School, under
the control of the institutions, where those dis
charged from the regular department could be en-
plcyed.
la n pamphlet on tine subject of Juvenile Delin-
quency tho superintendent Israel Z. Jones exs
presses the opinion that frequent Imprisonment OF
juvenile offenders for short periods for punishment
is most injurious to the welfare of the unfortunate
child and that 1t in way protects the community
except during the tref period of incarce ration.
