In the spring Of 1881, Major Robert

THE eight-year-old son of a minister not
thousand miles from White River Junction
seems to follow very naturally in his fathers
footsteps. Recently some strawberries were
placed on their supper table and this boy, with
the other children, g thered around the table
before the father arrived. The mother said to
them by way of admoniton, You had better
wait till father comes. There has been no
blessing asked yet" But our hero was not to
be kept waiting in that way and remarking,
I'VE needn't wait for that, can say grace as
well as he can, the young rogue bowed his
head over his plate, and repeated something
like his fathers ordinary form of grace, which

TRUE DEMOCRACY.
The Relations of the New "WorId' With
the National Democratic Party.

The Relations of the New s'WOrId'' With
the National Democratic Party.
New York WoIld.l
An intelligent newspaper must be indie.
pendent. But it must not be indifferent or
neutral on any question involving public
interests. If it is newspaper with the
people and for the people, 1t must maintain
those broad principles on which universal
liberty is based, and oppose those abuses
and evils the destruction of which was the
mission of free institutions. Its rock of
faith must be true Democracy. Not the
Democracy Of political machine. Not the
Democracy which seeks to win the spoils of
Office from political rival. But the Demo-
cracy which guards with jealous care the
rights OF all alike, ana perpetuates the free
institutions it first established.
The World, under its new management,
will maintain such i'emocratic character.
The political freedom the United States
now enjoys sprang from a protest against
organized priyilesists claiming exclusive
rights under the @gis of royalty. To-day,
as time rolls round. we are confronted 10y
the struggle in a different guise. Organized
monopoists, coveting and possessing exclu-
sive rights under the Rgis of chartered mo
nopolies, undermine the political freedom
won more than hundred years ago. 1t Is
for true Democracy to preserve political
freedom now, as 1t established political free
dom in former days. To this duty the
World is pledged
Democracy, sometimes from ignorance,
more frequently from malice, has been rep
resented as radcaism and destructiveness.
1t is nothing of the kind. True Democracy,
based on equal rights, recognizes the mil-
lionaire and the railroad magnate as just as
good as any other man, and as fully entitled
to protection for his property under the law.
But true Democracy will not sanction the
swallowing up of liberty by property any
more than the swallowing up OF property
by communism.
When organize privileges combinet to cor
rupt elections or debauch officials with tht
| purpose of securing bad laws or Gvadina
good laws, they put themselves in confiict
with the spirit of true Democracy. If com
munism were organized TO defy the law II
would equally antagonize the Democracy
| When mob law triumphs, popular liberty i;
overthrow. WheR Legislatures are pur
chased and judges corrupty suboned. tn,
foundations of liberty are sapped.
Within the scope Of these great principle
the World will maintain Democracy Know
ing nothing of local factional quarrels an,
utterly ignoring them, we shall strive to 81
cure Democratic harmony. Believing tina
the triumph of Democratic principles vii
conduce to the general welfare; will brinl
| back the Government to the simple economy
and honesty of its earlier days; will nsur
more practical reform than a statute bool
full of unmeant laws, and will check tn,
growing power of the privileged classes, ",
shall insist on Democratic union as indie
| pensable to national success.
