The Democratic Party Not Responsible


Here Is an altogether incorrect remark
made by the Ne,c York Times:
The repeal majority [of the Senate can force vote
and pass the bill tonight. tomorrow any day they
may TX They and they alono responsible for tho
delay and danger. and upon the Democratic party will
fall the consequences Of their failure to do their duty"
Whatever 1.-The repeal majority" as 1t at
present Is constituted. does. or fails to do
the Democratic party is in no wise respon-
sble for the consequences. That majority
is bipartisan. The question on which it
has united is not partisan question. In
both the Democratic and the Republican
ranks. there is disagreement as to it. In
neither Is tho silver policy fixed. SO that it
can be made test Of partisan loyalty.
II the Silver bill now under discussion
passes. neither the Democrats nor the Re-
publicans can claim the credit for the result
as q party triumph. for In each party 1t
has both strong advocates and violent op-
ponents. II 1t fails. neither party can be
held responsible as party for the failure.
Each will contribute to its passage. IL it
passes; and each will have helped to defeat
1t. II 1t fails
How can the Democratic party be respon-
sible for 1.-The repeal majority" when 1t has
no control over that fusion. largely. II not
chiefly. made up Of the political enemies OF
the Democracy?

We have not heard that any OF the Hin

BY the champions OF any Of those religions.
The various Christian communions repre-
scented In the Congress-. also stand as they
stood. The arguments for the Catholic Church
did not convince the Protestants. and the ar
guments for the Greek Church and the Arme-
MAN did not satisfy either Protestants or Cath
olics We must suppose that tho representa-
tivss OF the various religions outside Of Chris
tianity were not less sincere than the represen-
tatives OF the several forms OF Christianity.

| OF controversy. She was apparently justi-
| 1ed In endeavorinR 30 extend her de-
fenslve works. which are mainly on rock
citadel. although the question whether she
infringed local rights In SO doing may be
inquired about. The Sultan's prompt proc
lamation OF the right OF Spain to build
her new fort would meanwhile seem to be
decisive: and that was the act which aroused
the hostility OF the tribesmen.
But the steps now to be taken by Spain In
securing the safety Of her Melilla garrison
may involve serious trouble. The sur
rounding mountaineers are accustomed to
armed conflicts with the Government
troops. and Spain would perhaps be justi-
fled In holding that she cannot wholly rely
on the power OF the latter TO keep in sub
lection the hardy and savage Rinlans.
When the garrison and its allies. tho
white residents OF Melilla. retreated to the
citadel for protection. they unavoidably de-
stroyed. with their artillery fire. buildings
In and around the town. including mosque.
and there is little doubt that both religious
and race hatreds have been stirred up. The
successful defence OF the garrison against
many times Its number Of assailants does
not remove the duty Of reinforcing 1t. and
troops and guns have been sent for that
purpose. 1t Is the question OF what may
occur when the Spanish ships and troops
undertake to punish the tribesmen that
chiefly arouses interest.
The indemnity to be exacted by Spain
may also prove important. should 1t take
the form OF territorial demands. More
than thirty years ago Tetuan was occupied
by Spanish troops in consequence Of the
piratical acts Of the Riffians. and 1t was held
until $2O.OOO.OO0 was paid by the father Of the
present Sultan as an indemnity. British
fleet at Tangier exacted an indemnity sew
eral years ago for the Cape JUDY outrage.
which was trivial compared with the present
one. Should Spain insist on more terrific
rial control around Melilla, and especially
should the warlike natives break out into
fresh hostilities. involving operations by
Spanish troops. a serious European COM
plication might grow out Of the affair. 1t
might result. also. from Spanish expedi-
ton to punish the Moors.
A source Of protection, however. for the
present dynasty seems to be the antagonism
Of European interests which the Sultan is
able to play Off one against the other. 1t Is
really only an extension Of the policy which
enables him to pit. one against the other.

Democracy. Not Mechanism.

The ticket nominated yesterday at Sara
toGa Is the ticket Of the Democratic party
In the greatest Democratic State In the
Union. The platform adopted yesterday
at Saratoga is the platform Of New York q
hah-spirited and triumphant Democracy.
Hero and there you will hear It said.
sometimes In whisper. sometimes with q
sneer, that what was done at Saratoga
represents not the will and deliberate choice
Of New York's seven hundred Thousand
Democratic voters, but merely the behests
Of two. three. four. or half dozen individ-
uals, who hold the seven hundred thousand
In chains and abject submission.
This d the talk Of soreheads. OF traitors.
or Of political fools.
No machine was ever invented In politics
that could stihe or misrepresent the will OF
Q majority Of the membership Of great
party. or put an iron collar on even
respectable minority Of that party.
The first requisite for political leader
ship in the Democratic organization is the
oonsent OF the led. The leaders Of to-day
lead with the consent OF the led. They are
leaders because they possess the admiration
sndconfidence Of an overwhelming majority
Of tho Democrats Of New York. That conf
dence Is based on the wisdom and glory Of
past achievements. and the expectation Of
similar results in the present and future.
By what process OF political mechanism
conceivable to the human intellect can a
few odious. unprincipled. dlscredited. and
unworthy schemers continue through a
long series OF years. mile-stoned with illus
trious victories. to terrorize and dominate
more than half million free American citi-
zens, and to, register and enforce DEGREES

We have never heard satisfactory an

The propagation Of spring lambs is one
of the most interesting responses TO the
fastidious palate of these later days.
Early Strawberries, forced peaches,
young asparagus and spring chickens are
as nothing compared to the involved pro-
cesses that have produced spring lamb.
This has come about only within the
past 10 years and is the result of con-
tinuous and ingenious experiment. Be
fore this time spring lamb could not be
found in the market until the middle Of
March, nor easily accessible until the 1st
of May. Spring lamb now comes gar
landed with Christmas holly. Last year
one solitary lambkin helped to celebrate
Thanksgiving and was almost without
price.
The annual Christmas yield of spring
lambs in town is about 90. They are
then eating distinctly precious, each
lambkin selling for at least $15. In Jan
uary they become more common, and in
February whole lamb can be bought
for $8or$7 The spring lamb is 2months
old when he is served at table. He has
passed his brief life in warm stall
and is fed only on his mothers milk.
He has had his little run for constitn
tionai on the clean floor, but exercise is
discouraged that might make his flesh
coarse or harden his muscles. He is kept
as clean as baby and is groomed like q
Skye terrier When his appointed hour
is come, no sac1ifcial Offering could be

One ofRuskin,s Letters.

John Ruskin, writing in 1857 to his
pupil, Ward, indited these strange sen
tences:
You may write me whatever you like
to talk about, provided you write large
and clear. You may trust to the truth
of my sympathy, but you must remein-
Der that am engaged in the investiga-
tion of enormous religious and moral
questions, in the history Of nations, ana
that your feelings, or my own, or any,
body else's, at any particular moment,
are Of very little interest to me, not from
want of sympathy, but from the small
proportion the individuality bears TO the
whole subject of my inquiry. "a
l have no affections, having had them
three times over torn out Of me by the
roots-most fatally the hast time within
the last year. hope to be kind and just
to all persons, and of course like and
dislike, but my word "affectionatelyr
means only-that should have loved
people if were not dead.
AS matter of practical fact, you may
always trust to my kindness in duo
proportion as you stand among other
people who require it, and to my under
standing sympathy in proportion also.
But have no pleasure myself now in
any human relation. Knowing this, you
will be able to understand good deal in
my ways of goingon otherwise inexplica-
bile.
