A WARNING CALL. Herald says,
in commenting on Dir. Brice's election
as chairman Of the Democratic Com
mittee
Two things are absolutely certain:
First. that the Democrats VIII win II
Judged by the merits OF their policy;
second. that as sure as death and taxes
they will be whipped off the field I'M
less they stand shoulder TO shoulder
and follow leaders who know how TO
| lead.
In the matter Of tricks. games. deals,
and the expenditure Of money they
are no match for their opponents.
There Is a remnant Of conscience left
in their party, while the Republicans
have put theirs in pickle a. a useless
obstacle to present success. but well
enough as a curiosity for the next gene
ration to gaze upon.
But when Il comes TO fair play and
no favor the Democratic Onset carries
the day every time. 1t is necessary
therefore. for ihe Democrats TO trust
in Providence, keep their powder dry.

MORE LIVES THAN A CAT.-1hc bucket
shops have more lives than cat. Their
owners have been indicted for gambling
the Stock Exchange has tried to pre-
vent them from getting quotations, and
/ in every possible way under the Old
laws they have been attacked but I'M
vain. Ii remains to be seen whether
the new anti-Bucket Shop bill which
has lust received Governor Hills sigma
ture will be any more effective.
The difficulty IN drawing up such "a
| bill was to make IFS provisions broad
enough TO cover all bUcket-shop trans
actions without interfering with legili-
mate stock trades. The new measure
prohibits the keeping Of a room for the
making Of bets and wagers upon un-
known or contingent events or on the
future price Of stocks.-N. J. star.
DEMOCRATIC UNlON-The san pro.
poses as a common ground on which all
Democrats can get together the
platform adopted by the Democratic
/ National Convention Of 1884. 10 seems
to the EdGio that the platform presents
a body Of doctrine which every ore
who processes the political faith Of
Thomas jefferson can safely accept. II
is more elaborate and faithful expo
sition of the views of the Democratic
marty than the platform constructed at
/ ST.. Louis i'm 1855 Ii it had been put
forth as an authoritative statement 81
Democratic belief last year. and II the
Presidential contest had been conducted
ON the issues which 10 raised instead Of

message. there are reasons for believing
that the White House would not to day
be occupied by Republican President.
The authors of this platform were
Democrats who had no hobbies to ride
no net theories TO advance. no expert
merts TO try. They were men of the
most comprehensive wisdom, whose
vision embraced the whole field of con-
troversv. who took account of every
interest that deserved TO be consulted
and who conducted their work on the
plan Of securing the most perfect un-
