THESE are the times that try Dem
ocrats' souls. They find it hard to
keep up their love for President
Cleveland in the face of his uIexpect-
ed actions in regard to office-holders.
The slogan heard loudest during the
campaign was, "Give us a change"
And now, after having been elected
on the strength of that feeling, Presi-
dent Cleveland pays no attention to
it. He said recently to a questioning
Democrat: II cannot turn out Office
holders simply because there is cry
for change" The President seems
to think he can have Democratic prin-
ciples carried out just as well by Re-
publicans as by others. Republicans
who have never been competent-and
never will be-to discharge their Off
cial duties are still in Office, while long
rows of Democrats are kept waiting
on the outside. President Cleveland
should have new men for his new
work. 1t is against Scriptural advice
to put new wine into old bottles.
