On the Retired List.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Chicago
Herald, Is alarmed at the discontents and
divisions existing In the Cook county De-
mocracy. and among the causes OF the want
OF unity 1t mentions the fact that there
are men now prominent in the organization
who have lost public confidence and should
OF them have been unfortunate merely. but
Others are incompetent, wrong-headed. un-
scrupulons. weak. and selfish"
Certainly Democrats who have lost the
confidence Of the people should without de-
lay take q back seat. Incompetent, wrong
headed, unscrupulous, weak, and selfish
leaders should drop to their proper place,
and cease 10 endanger the party OF whose
confidence they have shown themselves un-
worthy and on which they have brought
disaster Those things seem obvious enough,
and the wayinrlng man, though q Mug
wump. should understand them. It appears.
however, that there are asp!rnnts to the
Democratic leadership in Chicago who
cannot take hint unless 1t Is the ad-
vance agent Of kick; and there is one snch
person In New York. incompetent. wrong
headed, INSCRIPTIONS, weak, and selfish.

conscious that It is near killing time.
For his benefit the remark OF the Chicago
Herald is apt and necessary. A man who
has lost the confidence OF the people should,
without delay. retro to private life. There
he can repent the misfortune he has brought
upon his party. and thus he can avoid add
ing TO the record OF his failures. Particularly
Is this the case with man who has been
retired to private life by the voice OF the
people, but who Is trying to keep up the
semblancs Of public or seml-public life. twill
not serve. He Is ON the retired list. and
retirement alone will become him.
The advent In Omaha OF O powerfully rich
citizen from the East. Mr.. FREDERICK l.. AMEs
Of Boston. seems to have caused the World
Herald thus to revoke it's recent anti-capi-
tAlistic, money -tearing. Farmers Alliance
sentiments. and take another view:
"FREpss,cx l.. AxEs cannot come to Omaha too often

he appears 10 be developing into citizen of Omaha

Since Citizen GEORGE FRANCIS TRAIN ds.
