The following editorial paragraph,
from the New York World, shows how
differently it looks upon the political
situation from what it did before cleo
ton:
"Whether Mr.. Brice ought to have
been elected Senator or not, he was
elected, and the attempts now making
in the Ohio Legislature to induce the
Senate to exclude him are simply q
further manifestation of the Republi-
can desire to retain by fraud the power
which they are losing in elections"
The World bitterly opposed Brice's
election. But now that the Dem ocracy
has won 30 many seats IN the Senate 40
to give it some prospect of majority
or tie, every Democrat counts, no
matter how Objectionable he may be.
He's . good enough Senator now, if he
will only help to make Democracy eff.
fective in the Senate.

Bancroft and Other Old Men.
ATLANTA Constitution


George Bancroft, dead at the age Of nine.
", continued his literary work almost tC
the last.
In his long Lille the great historian accom-
plished q tremendous amount Of work. lie
was Secretary of the Navy under Polk, Min
lister 20 England, Minister 10 Germany, and
much Of his time was devoted 10 public at.
fairs. Besides his great history, he wrote
many other volumes Of exceptional interest
and value. Until he reached his ninetieth
year he studied, worked, Travelled and efr
joyed the pleasures OF society.
Altogether, Mr.. Bancroft was a remarka-
bic man, both physically and intellectually.
But other old men of the present day have
been AZ notable. Gladstone at the age Of
eighty -One bids fair to lead the Liberal cause
seve al years Whit T is eighty-three. DR..
Holmes writes we'll at eighty-one. Monte
fore made himself felt in the world until he
was past one hundred. CheVreul, the
French chemist, worked in his laboratory
when he was one hundred and three.
An enthusiastic man. with y great soul.
can do some ofhis best work in his old age.
Especially is this trne OF literary men, phi
lanthropists, patriots and scientists. Such
men are never killed by intellectual work,
but worry breaks many OF them down al
All early age. Work stimu-
lates; worry blights.
