BREcKINnIDas 6ND DEMOCRACY.

Congressman ". C. P. B-eckinridge has
been rebuked by the courts, he has been re-
buked by the newspapers, and he has been
rebuked by social and religious bodies all
over the country. 1t now remains for him to
be retuked by the Democratic party. The
courts dealt with him as with one SHINING
against organized justice, newspapers spurned
him because he was bad type of American
ism, and the churches and clubs ostracised
him because the moral and social life Of the
country Is nauseated with his self-confessed
immortality and his aggressive excuses.
But the Democratic party has quite another
reason for its very evident intention to turn
him down. 1t is plain, straight question Of
political policy. Republican state conventions
are meeting and listening to speakers who
make party arguments out of Breckinridge
and his record. County stump speakers will
take their cue from this talk, and Breckin-
ridge. exploited as type of Democracy, will
be a shibboleth and slogan in the forefront
Of the Republican campaign.
The fight in the coming Fall is not, even
with Breckinridge out Of it, going to be an
easy one for the Democrats. 1t IS then, a mat
ter Of self-preservation that the party leave
Off connections with a man who stains the
greatness Of its name and puts arguments
in the mouth of its enemies. This trend can
be started in the abridgement of courtesies,
privileges, and social amenities in the House
OF Representatives, and 1t can be finished in
the congressional primaries or the elections
of Kentucky.
Look at him there, on the floor of the
House, with his brazen and insouciant stare
turned on the galleries; see him among mis-
colleagues vainly attempting to fall back on
magnetism that now has only the negative
pole of repulsion; listen to those fulsome
pleas that curde sympathy into contempt. The
Democracy cannot contain him. He will
not get out voluntarily; he must be made to
get out

Coxey, Browne, and Jones will be released
tomorrow morning. having served the twenty

May Day demonstration at the Capitol. Their
wish for procession in honor of their free

SENATOR JONES' GRAB BAG.

To a good independent Democrat there is
something rather absurd in the willingness OF
the Senators Of that party to allow Hon.
james X. Jones, Of Washington. Ark, to
stand in the position of grand custodian Of
the tariff schedule grab bag. Not that Mr..
Jones is not a capable and honorable man.
He is both and most genial one as well,
whom Senators who object to particular
duty can ''see" and have things made to suit
them. But that does not justify leaving with
him or any other one man alone the final de-
cision on every paragraph OF the bill.
The Democratic party has pledges which
are well known. 1t has principles Of which 1t
cannot be said thsy used to be we'll known.
But II the motto for each objecting Senator
is to be to "see Jones and fix It," what there
is left OF Democratic principles will not be Of
great value for election purposes.
To sum up the whole matter, the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate ought to be
nearly as capable OF deciding to live up to
Democratic principles as the Democratic ma
jority In the House. By the present arrange
ment they have placed their political con-
science in the hands Of one man. He Is the
arbiter of the features Of a tariff bill which is
to raise in al over four hundred millions
and pay the running expenses of govern
ment with seventy million people. To construct
a tariff bill on such principle is certainly
anomalous.
1t is time to put an end to the grab-bag per-
formance.

He Has Waited Long with His Hat on
One Side.
Aleck Taylor, jr., who has been known as a
horseman, yachtman. and all-around sport
for thirty years. always wears his hat tilted
over his right eye, on the theory that if it does
not happen to be fashionable to do that sort OF
thing one season it is sure TO come his way in
time. This year Mr.. Taylor is in the height OF
fashion, as all the returning tourists from
London. including the men who ride hunters
across country and buy all their attire in
England. now give a rakish tilt to their hats.
The Information has been cabled over that
even the most conservative men OF fashion
who walk along Pail Mall. and who have here
tofore always jammed their hats on their
heads in perfectly horizontal position, now
tilt the hat little over the right eye. This
practically settles momentous question. and
it certainly puts Mr.. Taylor in the van. In
similar way Mr.. Augustin Daily has found him.
self in the height of fashion through the adop-
ton of the DAILY hat by coaching men. The
regulation coaching hats were found to be too
heavy and warm for the spring season in New
York. and coaching men took up the old,
square-blocked derby hat with an almost
straight brim. Mr. Days hat is with him
morning, noon and night. It is said that he
wears it when he eats, provided he can do so
without violating the proprieties. He never
relinquishes it for moment if he can fondle
it affectionately in his lap. But though it
was always a famous hat it was never
fashionable hat until this season, and this
proves again that all things come to the
man who waits. New York Sun.

She clutched her skirts convusively and
screamed riercingly. Two big policemen
saunterei toward her. Two others came out
OF the gloom of the bridge structure. The
woman saw them and screamed again. Then
a crowd began 20 gather, and almost in a
twinkling of an eye there was a surging
pushing mass OF humanity that blocked the
street. TIE rat made a plunge at the woman
and disappeared. She etumbled in heap and
yelled ana cried and kicked in the air. Two

and leaned over her. They tried to lift her
Up by the shoulders. but she persisted in keep
ing her feet in the arr.
..Oh, the rat has me.' she screamed. and
then she furnished the additional information
that he was crawling and biting he's. A kind
hearted citizen leaned on the woman's legs
aud forced them down. and then one of the
policemen got good grip on her shoulders
and lifted her up. Then another policeman
pocked his club at her skirts and gently shook
them. This was no effect The policeman
seized her dress with his hands and began
feeling for the rodent. The woman didn't
like this. for she could not tell which was rat
and which was policeman, and SO she started
in screaming again. A voice yelled, There

Then the crowd broke. as if an army had
charged it. A little newsboy discovered the
rodent trying to get back home by way of the
elevated stairs. and several big heels crushed
it to bits. Less than minute afterwards
there was another cry of .'Rats!' and every
body, even the policemen, scattered. But it
was a false alarm.

theatrical and Military Programme by the
Capitol City Dramatic Company.
Two bright comedies and an amusing farce
staged by casts of the youngest and most
talented amateurs of the city, in conjunction
with an individual competitive drill for the
most efficient officer OF the High School cadet
regiment formed an attractive bill for the
audience that attended the dramatic enter
tainment given last night at the National
Rifles armory under the auspices OF the
Capitol City Dramatic Company.
Miss Grace Ross and Mr.. Robert W. Test
opened the programme with "a Pair OF Luna
tics," and it had the effect OF pleasing the
audience immensely. This was. followed by
the preliminary drill OF the officers Of the
first battalion Of High School cadets On
account Of their mistakes the cadets were
compelled to fall out in the following order:
Captain Shuster, Lieutenant Graham, Lieu
tenant Norris, Captain Page, Captain Test,
and Lieutenant Burbank. leaving AdIutant

A clever sketch. adopted from one Of Charles
Dickens novels, entitled "The Marchioness,'
was played In excellent style by Miss Lou
Ennis as the Marchinness, and Mr. Ray

formed by Mr.. W. I. Kirby as Lucius Har-
court; Mr.. Robert W. Test as BERTHE Marsden;
Mr.. Raymond Riorden as Jean; Miss Ella
Gordon as Mrs. Harcourt, and Miss Lou
Ennis as Mrs. Marsden. These young people
have reached the ne plus ultra of amateur
stage knowledge. and their work OF last night
was up TO the standard OF excellence which
they have attained. Miss Lou Ennis particu-
larly essayed her role with an ease and deli
cacy OF action that would have won plaudits
for professional Mr.. Kirby in his serio-
comic Interpretation of Harcourt, and Mr..

REpuD1ATE THE TRusT TARIFF BILL.

REPUDIATE THE TRUsT TARIFF BILL.
The sugar trust conspiracy in the Senate is
one of the most disgraceful exhibitions of
bargain and sale known to national legisla-
ton, and the humiliating spectacle Of United
States Senators endeavoring to conceal their
connection with powerful corporation when
framing tariff measure that affects its inter-
ests is exasperating. to say the least.
The feeling throughout the country against
such conduct is one of distrust, disgust. and
dissatisfaction. and its influence will prove
demoralizing In the rank and file OF the
Democratic party unless the sugar trust
schedule is repudiated by the Senate and
House conference committee. Senators
who stood high in the estimation of the pub
lie have become objects OF pity through their
completely with corporations that should
have been denied hearing, and no explana-
ton nor attempt to hide the motive which
caused them to give ear to the demands OF
trusts will serve to allay that feeling.
When the joint conference committee
meets to consider the Senate tariff bill its
first duty should be to remove every vestige
of tariff that protects the interests Of trusts.
Experience has demonstrated that trusts rely
upon stale laws for their existence under
protective tariff, and that they cannot be sue
cessiulv reached through national legisla-
ton. For years an effort has been made to
break up the sugar trust. and during that
time the trust has steadily grown more
wealthy and powerful. Competition in an
;., ,ha ,lx for ha
OF trusts, and removal of tariff duties on all
commodities controlled by them will insure
Unrestricted competition. If. then, they with
stand the assaults of foreign competitors
their existence will do no harm to the public.
