KANSAS CITY JOURNAL: Every
third party, of late years, starts out
with the idea that the right course Of
procedure is to wipe out the Republi-'
can party first, and then direct its.
efforts against the Democratic party.
This was the plan of the Union La
Dor party, the Prohibition party, and
now of the Peoples party. mas
much as these movements never ac-
complish the first half of their pur-
pose, it ought to occur to third party
makers that possibly they begin at
the wrong end. Let them try wiping
out the Democrating party awhile,
with a view to subsequent move
ments against the Republican party,
and possibly results will be better.

LADY OF THE wA.rE HOUSE.
a Tempting Position. but Ono whic,,
Carries with 1t Mnuy Pcnul:ics.

"A Tempting r'"sition, but Ono whicl,
Carries with 1t Many Pcnul;lcs.
To he the mistress of the White
House is altogether tempting. 1t is
Il position of almost unequaled social
power aud influence, which has tested
and proved the tact, good sense and
r wOmanhood of most of those
who have reached the distinction.
In ordinary times the White House is
the center of a social life which fixes
popular attention: the movements
there are matters of the widest public
interest, and many of them arc of
such character that the people in
general feel as if they themselves were
participants. In all the history of
our country this social life in the
White House has been of that simple
and unprctcntious character SO be-
coming to the Republican tastes and
habits of the people at large.
With all it's temptation to ostenta-
tions and gaudy display and personal
cx~clusiveness, 1T has always been
maintained apart from these. The
wives of the presidents, like the
presidents themselves, have come from
the people, and have taken the simple
but sufficient social forms of the coun-
try into the most conspicuous social
position of the lady of the White
House. Under almost no admins
tration has the president himself been
more firmly fixed in the hearts of the
American people than the lady who
has directed the social life of the
executive residence during his term.
And the names of many of these
ladies--the Philadelphia Press de-
clarcs them to be the best types of
American womanhood-stand out al
most as prominently even as tho
names of che presidents.
But the position has its penalties
The exactions have been too much
for some of those upon whom the re-
sponsibility has been thrown. Even
those whose physical strength has
proved sufficient to all the emergencies
have found much in the n~ever-ceasing
social attentions that was extremely
undesirable, even burdensOmc. The
semi-public character of the daily
life of all the members of the White
House family is sadly destructive of
true domestic living. A partial if
not a complete relief has been sug-
gested in the entire separation of the
family residence from the house in
which the executive business of the
whole nation is transacted. That
would certainly admit of a greater
degree of privacy and quiet, while in
no n dctracting from the social
life i'm the administration circle.
The White House in its present con-
dition is not suited as it should be to
family life. 1t is not desirable to de-
stroy the building, for it has his
torlcal associations that cndcar il to
the American people: but it might bc
added to so that there shall he IL prac-
tically separate family residence. one
wholesome, healthful and proper.

The Louisville Courier journal
complains of the Mckinley bill be-
cause it induces laboring men to leave
Europe and come to America to Sc.
cure higher wages. The Democratic
remedy would be free trade, which
would make wages as low in this
country as. in Europe. How do the
American workingmen like this Dem
ocratic remedy for emigration? The
Republicans have a simpler way.
They will regulate emigration by stat
ute and keep the wages of the Ameri-
can workingmen where they are.
The Democratic remedy is as objec-
tionable as that against robbery-to
never have anything that will tempt
the robbers.

The House voted twice on free coin.
age. 1873 Democrats in favor only 81
against it on all grounds, the first time,
but hall. the Democratic opposition was
solely for the purpose Of deferring ac-
ton until after the Presidential election.
The second vote. taken after Mr..
Cleveland's nomination, showed more
Democrats for postponement. But on
all occasions a great majority of the
Democrats voted for immediate and I'M
limited coinage Of silver, which was pre-
vented only by the steady patriotism of
the Republican minority.
To sum up: The record Of this Con-
gress shows that the Democratic party
is unfit for power. is incapable of INTEL
ligent and patriotic government, and
that the promises it made the people in
1890 were q deliberate effort to cheat
voters by false pretenses.

Here was q bill which may disarrange

Here was q bill which may disarrange
the commerce Of the WORLD bill on
which hang more hopes and fears than
any bill of the last ten years, and this
bill has passed the House on the theory
that the House had only fifteen minutes
OF wisdom to be bestowed ON either side
OF the question.
AS to the promise to reduce the appro-
priations.
While the Fifty-irst (Republican)
Congress had appropriated s463, 200. 600.

priated $50, QUO, 900.
ting down the appropriations Of the Re-
publican Congress by one hundred mil
lions, the Democrats increased them by
flfty-three millions!
What shall we say Of the financial
ability of a party which m~iscalculates
to b extent of over n hundred and
fifty millions in a single session?
And with all this a miserable and even
criminal parsimony was observed in
many directions.
While the Fifty-frst Congress- had
provided literally for the American
navy and representatives of the United
States government abroad, this Con-
gress did its utmost TO starve our navy
and cripple our consular service, al
though, during the Gillian difficulty,
We had very serious evidence what it
meant for this country to be left with q
weak or insufficient navy.
While this Congress. appropriated over
$50, 1000. 900 for a river and harbor bill, it
cut down the appropriations for light.

the appropriation for soap for the cadets
at West Point.

because 1t was adjusting itself to the
new conditions, believed the Democrats
one more. returned them to power and
gave them such a majority-151, or more
than two-thirds-in Congress as to place
them in a position where they could
make good all their promises by legisla-
ton to the extent of their power, for the
Senate and the President were, Of
course. still Republican.
The present Congress, writes John q.
Freeland, having sat eight months, has
now adjourned, and the people Of this
country have, therefore, ample oppor-
tunity to judge, in a fair and impartial
manner, not merely as to it's accom-
plishment but, what is really far more
important, as to its general intention.
Surely all must admit that the Demo.
Gratis had a magnificent opportunity to
indicate their party from the charge
that it was merely q party Of obstruc-
ton and destruction. formidable only in
opposition and powerless to carry out
measures Of constructive statesman
ship!
How did the Democrats redeem their
pledges that they would repeal the Nc
Kinley bill, would carry free coinage.
would stop reciprocity, sugar bounties
and subsidies for ocean mail service,
and would cut OFF one hundred millions
or more from the so-called outrageous
appropriations of what they were pleased
to designate as "the billion dollar Con-
gress."
What. is the record?
One Of incompetency and shame!
Every promise deliberately broken!
A large part Of the entire session was
FILTERED away in making %senseless
rules which were %repudiated at the last
minute; in trivial debates and roll calls,
while measures Of the utmost impor-
lance were passed with q reckless haste,
unprecedented in American legislation.
Az Speaker Reed has shown, in his
recently published review Of the session,
on the 9Th Of June. after q session Of
six months, MI. Holman was forced
TO rush through the House the leg
