Pat DOMAIN on Democracy.

OF all the frauds and humbugs since
the Christian era dawned on the hill
tops of Judea, it begins to look as if
the Democratic party were about the
vilest and shabbiest.
Where are all the great and glorious
reforms it promised so loudly before
election day? 1t has absolute power.
1t has the executive, legislative and
judicial departments of the govern
ament, all in it's grasp. 1t has presi-
dent, senate and house of representa-
tives-everything. 1t is monarch of
all it surveys s. Where are the tran
scendent glories and blessings with
which it was going to deluge the con-
tinent ear deep in beatitude and turn
a hemisphere into a mighty halle
lujah?-
After bowling and ranting and froth-
ing at the mouth for thirty years
about goldbugs and bloated bond
holders and practical tools of Wall
street, it has put the very prince OF
helllons of goldbuggery, bloated bond
holdery and practical toolery in the
presidency Of the United States. As a
Democrat, aided by the omnipotent
bribery of $500, 900, 900 of annual
plumber, Grover Cleveland can do
what no Republican in his place could
every have done-control ID. mocratit
votes for his monometallic schemes o.
brigandage.
The Democratic party roared foi
years Yer the intimates of nepotism
and yet today the whole government
has been turned into a wholesale souI
house for the sons, daughters, uncles
cousins and aunts of Democratic sen
ators and representatives. Every de
partment swarms with these beggarly
vermin. The election of one patriot
to Office means tine pensioning of his
whole brood OF pauper kin.
The Democratic party bawled itsel
raw of throat and husky of yell oveI
Republican office-brokerage. 1t rem
it's virtuous shirt over Wanamaker's
buying the postmaster g~eneralshiI
with 100000 OF corruption money
and Cleveland, it's demigod, has just
sold q foreign mission to a Rhode
Island ass for $4,000! Prices o
official dignities would seem to be only
] one-sixth as high under Democratic

MIR. Teller, with much feeling. ITO
me it brings more fear than any other

mist; | have never been; ! am an OPP
timist. / have never seen disaster
and distress growing out of policies
simply because they did not meet my
approval. / have had faith in the

most impressively, and was accorded

DEFEAT OF "

II the party in power Is held respon-
sible for legislation, then the Demo-
cratic party must stand condemned as
the enemy of silver. For year it has
been the boast of orators and writers in
its ranks that the Democratic party
was 1.-The old original and only true sill
yer party" A year ago 1t was even
stated hat Grover Cleveland was a
friend of silver, and extracts from his
speeches and letters were quoted at
tary Carlisle, Daniel Voorhees, and
Dave Hill were Chased as silver's friends.
The WI former were pronounced free
coinage men. What do we find now?
Carlisle is chosen Cleveland's secretary
of the treasury to carry out the latter's
financial policy and he has been unre-
lenting and dictatorial in his hostility
to silver. 1t is ven held by eminent
statesmen hat the secretary has DISC
beyed the written law in his refusal to
purchase silver.
Voorhees,, who vas one loud
mouthed and eloquent in advocating
free coinage, is selected by the presi-
dent to lead the debate aud manage
the forces in favor of repeal in the sen-
ate, thereby proving a traitor to the
cause he once espoused.
Hill, the shifting demagogue, after
dancing on one leg and then on the
other, and finally discovering hat the
Spartan band of silver senators must
eventually yield, ONE out and de-
clares himself. ''If / were in Vice
President S~tevenson's place l would
bring the senate to a vote" says the
New York boss.
Here we have the acknowledged lead
ers of Democracy, with the presidents
lash held over the lesser lights, de-
manding unconditional repeal. The
thing is done and it matters not what
the attitude of many eastern Republi-
cans was, the party hat has hold OF
the reins of government and shapes its
policies will be held responsible for the
defeat of silver.
Had there not been a change
Of administration doubtless the Sher
man law would have remained in.
tact for some years to come, or some
recognition of silver substituted for it
With the threatening doom to all OF
our industries consequent upon the
success of the free trade party, a panic
struck the country. Cleveland must
find something for q makeshift, and
with the backing of eastern goldbugs
silver was marked for slaughter.
He has not found the remedy for ex
listing evils. While money may be {
little easier in financial centers, thu
general paralysis will not be remove
as long as the threat to remove "every
vestige of protection" hangs over tn
country.

THE ELECTION.

As will be seen elsewhere the Grand
Old Party" is again on top in every
Northern state holding elections. 1t is
a victory for Americans in every sense
of the word. In Ohio the ''little giant
of protection" William Mckinley, is
elected by $4,000 majority, while Rus.
sell is showed under in Massachusetts,,
The people have spoken through the
ballot and have declared for the Re

The Harmless Lunatlc."

The harmless lunatic," outside an
asylum, occupies a position strictly
analogous to that of the historic sun
loaded" pistol. Each is, I think, re-
sponsible for about the same number
of homicides. But the harmless
weapon stops at that while the harm
less man easily takes thepalm by add
ing a long list of other crimes. For
most of these crimes the community
can thank itself, because it foolishly
tolerated in it's midst a person whose
only safe place of residence a an
asylum. But one should not Judge
too harshly these excesses OF altruism.
We should remember rather that the
extreme tolerance shown these unfor-
Inmates who frequent the border lands
of sanity is but a manifestation of
that love OF liberty which has made
possible the civilization in which we
live. The ages which cast their para
noics into dungeons or executed them
for ~witchcraft did not foster the spirit
of liberty. Still 4 may, as 1 have
intimated, go to the other extreme,
and the lesson taught the community
from time to time by harmless luna
tics" who shoot their fellow citizens,
explode bombs among them and the
like, is wholesome and necessary, even
though severe. A single bomb ex-
ploded in New York not many months
ago resulted indirectly IN the contine-
ment of a great number of insane per-
sons who would otherwise before this
have committed a long category OF
crimes. The lesson cost a life, it is
true, but quite possible it saved a
score OF lives. The community was
made to realize wildly, what every
~alienist knew, that the first untoward
act by which the supposed harmless
insane person manifested his true con.
dition might be an irreparable crime
The lesson had been taught often
enough before. Within a decade il
had been emphasized by the murder
of a chief executive of our country.
but memory is feeting, and it's per
manent records come only with many
repetitions. Another year and, il
may safely be predicted, the New York
juror will have forgotten the Norcross
incident, and habeas corpus suits fol
removing "sane" persons from asy
lums will flourish again as of yore. A
community which has witnessed with
out special comment the organization
of a society for the prevention of the
incarceration of sane persons in
asylums in a day and age when nc
such atrocity as that implied is i'm
piled is dreamed of or could be prac
ticed, does not yet bask very fully il
the light of knowledge. 1t is in need
OF yet other Lessons. Indeed it almos,
seems as if no lesson would perma
nently suffice, and as If the .'harmless
lunatic" would pass, with the sun
loaded" pistol, into the category O
things perennial.-From Social Re
~lations of the Insane,'-by DIR. Henry

clear the position held by protection

Justice, "there are about three and

So that the difference between the

and the S1.50 paid for like wool in
Philadelphia is all that Stree wool
could make between the price of an
American made suit from free wool
and one made from wool under the

clothing you must have cheap labor

Good for Joy.

Big Timber Pioneer: Allan X. Joy
OF Livingston is a man ready for each
and every emergency. A brilliant and
a fluent talker,. he makes his presence
felt in whatever crowd he happens to
be. 1t is related of Joy that one day
last week he and a party OF Mon.
tanians were riding on the cable cars
in Chicago. Among the other passen-
gers was a man, who upon getting of
the car, got off on the wrong side. As
he did so he was struck by a "a COM
ing from the opposite direction and
badly injured. A policeman picked
up the injured man, obtained his name
and address, summoned an ambulance
and e him to the hospital. After
the accident the car, with Joy and
many other passengers on board, con-
tinued on it's way. The conductor of
the car then went inside and requested
names OF the passengers, that he
might prove by them that he had not
told the man who was injured to get
off the wrong side of the ear. Here
was Joys opportunity and h~egrasped
it. Arising from ais seat he made a
forcible and appropriate address to
the other passengers, requesting them
not to comply with the wishes of the
conductor. He stated that while the
conductor had not told the man to
get off the wrong side Of the car, he
had certainly not warned him against
doing so, and further stating that it
was a case where the corporation
should be held for the injuries received

Of the purchasing clause of the Sher-
man law shows that 124 Democrats, 6S
Republicans and l Populist voted in
the affirmative. Fifty Republicans,
seventy Democrats and nine Populists
voted against it. Considering the large
Democratic majority in the house the
Republicans made the strongest show
