GOOD NEWS.

The election Of Q Democratic senator In
North Dakota il. in our judgment, good
news. II makes the United States senate
Democratic. Counting Martin, OF Kansas.
for whose admission both Democrats and
Populists will vote, placing Senator
Stewart with the Populists, and assuming
that Republican will be elected in Wash
ington and Populist in Montana. there
will be thirty-nine Republicans, forty-four
Democrats and five Populists. Vice Presi-
dent Stevenson has q casting vote. so that
Democratic control Of the senate may be
regarded as certain. There are at least
two Of the Populists who are sure to vote
with the Democrats on all questions Of
consequence. Allen. of Nebraska, was
finally elected by combination Of Popu-
lists and Democrats, but even II oil the
Populists voted with the Republicans. the
Democrats today, with the vote of Vice
President Stevenson, can control the SEN
ate OH strict party vote.
This insures the executive and legis-
lative branches of the government to tho
Democrats, and leaves the whole response
with the party that elected Cleveland.
This IL better for the country and for the
Republican party. For the first time in
thirty-two years tho Democracy will have
control Of tho executive, the senate and
the house. In 1890 the Democratic house
declared that the meaning of the elections
was a demand for a repeal of the Nc
Kinley tariff. The house, nevertheless,
did not repeal it, on the plea that tho Re-
publican senate would nos permit it, and
even if the measure went through the
senate the Republican president would
veto it But this excuse is no longer
valid.
The Democratic party can no longer ex-
cuse . policy Of inaction. incapacity or
neglect on the ground that . Republican
president or senate can block their pur-
pose. For tho next two years at least the
whole machinery of legislation will be I'M
der Democratic control. and the party can
no longer escape responsibility. How will
they meet itf The Republican party four
years ago squarely faced the responsibility
by enacting the Mckinley tariff. and the
legislation of the Fiftieth congress II
statesmanlike testimony that the Repub-
iican party on the heels Of its victory of
1858 proved both the sincerity Of its pro-
LESSONS and courage of its convictions.
Now what is the Democratic party going
to do? For the first time in thirty two
years it Is face to face with . situation that
cannot be met by a policy Of factious OBJ
struction, by fault finding, trickery and
evasion.
The Democratic party today IL in full
control Of the whole machinery of the
government, and it will be compelled to
positively decide what policy. if any, it is
prepared to present in settlement of the
questions of tariff, silver coinage and
foreign policy. The Democracy must rise
to the level of craftsmanship. for it stands
today where no policy of omission. evasion
or silence will serve Its purpose with the
people. IL can no longer afford to be the
party of negation; the party of small.
hypercritical. obstructive politics it ha,
been for more than thirty years.

THE POPULlSr VOTE.

Gen. Weaver received fewer votes in
some states in 1892 than he did in 1850.
Thus, in Connecticut he received fewer
votes last year than eight years before. In
Illinois his vote fell off 1000. In his own
state of Iowa it fell off 1900. In Maine
it fell of from 400 to 1000. In Massa-
chusetts the Weaver vote was 4,54S in 1880,
and only 3,34S in 1892. In Michigan the
Weaver vote fell of in eight years from
$4,000 to 1900. In New Jersey 1t declined
from 2.617 to $50. In Pennsylvaaia Gen.
Viewers vote was 20, 66s in 1880; in 1892 it
was STA. 1t fell off. too, in New Hamp-
shire and Rhode island, the latter man.
ufacturiug state, with many restrictions
which existed eight years ago removed
from the suffrage. In West Virginia the
Weaver vote was 9,079 in 1880 and 4, l66 in
1892. In Vermont Weaver had in 1880
1,2l5 votes and in 1892 but 43. In the
great city of New York Weaver received
but 2. 800 votes out of 5000 cast. Wea-
yer owed his large total of over a million
Of votes to his electoral fusions in several
states where the minority party, Demo-
cratic or Republican. as the case might be,
united with the Populists to overthrow its
real opponent.
The truth Of this statement is shown BY
the fact that in nine states the Weaver
electors did not stand for Weaver but
represented fusion. In Alabama and
Florida the Republicans generally voted
the Weaver electoral ticket, there being
no Harrison electoral ticket in Florida:
and in Colorado. Idaho, Kansas, North
Dakota and Wyoming the Democrats all
voted for Weaver, there being no Cleve-
land electoral ticket In Nebraska and
Oregon a majority Of the Democrats, but
not all. voted for the Weaver electors, as
advised by representatives of the Demo-
cratic national committee. In the nine
states named, Gen. Weaver received
1881 votes out of his ,O40. 900 total, or
nearly IS per cent. of his whole vote.
The New York San recites these facts and
says:
In Kansas the Democratic vote in 1888 was
10000, AMI II there were many Democrats
there In 1897 a. four years previous the net
Weaver vote was 1000. In Nebraska the Demo
cratic vote in isss was 5000. and il there was
no decrease OF Democrats during the four years
ensuing. the uet Weaver vote WAS Is, go SIM
larry. in oregon 1900 would represent the
Weaver strength, while in Alabama the ne,
Weaver vote would be $4,000 Mr. Cieve and
had in Colorado $1,000 votes IN 1855. and the
fusion Cleveland and Weaver ticket had 5000
III 1922. difference o! $4,000 l, does not take
much OF an sritameiicisn to discover that If
you deduct from tho fopulist strength the
Democratic vote IN those states in which there
was fusion between these two parties, you get
q, the actual third party following. In the nine
states named IL WAS about 2N.o00 In Texas,
where the prsponderance OF the Democratic
party Is 40 great TO be really INV ieldy, Gen.
Weaver received %. o)e votes This is the largest
total he obtained IN any state where there was

RAMS HORN PHILOSOPHY.

Temper is good thing until you
lose it.
Sometimes a smile is the mask
that hides frown.
Putting armor on coward will
not make him fight.
The religion of Christ is the only
one whose corner stone is love.
The truth we hate the most is the
truth that hits us the hardest.
Some of the hearts sweetest songs
have been learned in the dark.
How easy it is for men to find rea-
sons Tor doing as they want to do.
When faith goes to church to pray
for rain, it always takes an
umbrella.
An extravagant man is always
talking to his wife about the neces-
sity of economy.
Not one in twenty can give a sem
sible reason, if you ask him why he
keeps dog
There something wrong with a
mans head who never learns any,
thing from mistake.
