THE TWO DECISIONS.

PEOPLE are what they seem to he.
What q man looks like is what he
really is, in the overwhelming ma
joriiy OF cases. 1t isOniy a question
Of discernment in detecting his real
seeming, in perceiving his true ap-
pearance. The rule laid down here
may have exceptions, but It will
generally apply. Under it let Us
review the ''Liberal'' procession Of
Friday evening, and that OF the
Peoples Party on Saturday night
The former had an impromp tn ap-
Pearance throughout. The colu mn
looked as If It had been hastily
formed, and for the most part, from
the by ISLANDERS. There was a lack
OF order, system snd symmetry. A
helter-Ekelter air predominated all
along the line. Portions Of the col.
umn wore uniforms, and some Of
the organizations thus equir ped
marched tolerabiy well; but the ma.
Jority OF the men in the line did not
march atall; they merely struggled.
The mass Of which the procession
was composed was heterogeneous,
rather than homogeneous. One sec
ton was from Colorado, another
from lows, another from the Dako-
ias, etc The marchers were strang-
ers to each other to a great extent.
and many Of them were strangers In
the city.
A considerable portion Of the men
in the Liberal" procession wore
expressions upon their faces which
indicated n devil-may-care disposi-
ton a willingness to resort to any
tactics thatwould win. They looked
Ike rid.raf; and their whole
appearance indicated that they
were transients, or at least not a
permanent element Of local society.
They did not look like their names
were on the tax-roIl, nor like they
had children in the schools here.
There was notable dearth of music.
The appearance of the People,s
Party parade, as compared with |
what We have just described, indi-
,ated a superior race and civiliza-
ion. 1t was perfectly organized. |
deserved perfect order, and the
QUINN marched with a steady.
,ythnlie step, so suggestive of
trength, power, unity and discip-
ine. THE serted faces wore express
ions Of honest, earnest hopeful
'urpose- Most Of them were as IA
niliar to old residents as the fixed
hects one sees upon the streets
