ae ANSWERED THE QUESTION.
General Sheridan Explains What L. the
Matter With the Democratic Party.

General Sheridan Explains What Is the
Matter with the Democratic Party.
Some years ago, while General George
A. Sheridan was addressing a great au-
dience in Cleveland, a man yelled out
to him, What il the matter with the
Democratic party anyhow" Sheridan
dropped the line of argument he was
pursuing, turned toward the man and
replied as follows: "What is the matter
with the Democratic party? / will tell
you, my friend. The Democratic party
was born under planets that were IL OPP
position. 1t lives in the objective case.
Like a mule, 1t has no pride Of ancestry,
no hope of ~posterity. 1t never originates
anything. 1t always shines by borrowed
light. Democracy has never been joined
" honest wedlock to a principle, but
lived for years In open adultery with a
harlot called slavery, lived with her till
she died Of corruption and was buried
amid the sobs and groans of her para
mour.
"The atmosphere that surrounds De-
mocracy is full Of noxious vapors that
breed moral pestilence and death. The
sun never shines through it, vice seeks
its shadow, and corruption grows lusty
under It's unholy influence. Springs OF
purity are never found in Democracy.
It's waters are torpid, l~ifeless, covered
with the filth and scum with which
stagnant pools and waveless waters al
ways offend the eyes Of men. The soil
which Democracy has cultivated has
failed to yield harvests of value to the
nation, but has given crops of worthless
weeds and briers.
Democracy has no love of country,
believes in states instead of nation,
drives loyalty from its doors and well
comes treason TO it's h~abitation, holds
| the deeds of our soldiers and sailors as
naught, strives to blacken the names of
our heroes, weeps over the lost cause,
hates the blue and loves the gray, stabs
loyalty in the back, binds up the wounds
of treason and speaks words of hope and
comfort to its devotees, applauds when
helpless blacks are stricken down in the
south and caresses the hands red with
their innocent blood, denies the right Of
1 a w ~ III ~
themselves in the south, justifies the
man who shoots them down or drives
them out.
Democracy is a curse to the land,
the source of our bitterest woes, the
haven where vice finds friends and
crime its apologists and defenders.
Democracy is original sin let loose to
rend and destroy, is the spirit of evil
filling the swine of the land, the incar-
nation Of unholiness, the child of the
devil. Its home should be in that outer
darkness where there are weeping and
wailing and crashing of teeth. Such,
family pictured, my friend, is what is
the matter with the Democratic party. y
Sheridan picked up the thread of his
speech at the point where he had beer
interrupted. He was asked no more
questions during the evening.

HILL ON CLEVELAND.
The senator From New York Gives Cleve
land Some Hard Blows.

land Some Hard Blows.
In his great speech ON the Wilson DILL
In the senate April 8, 1894, David B.
Hill proceeded to slice up Cleveland and
his secretary of state for their action in
regard to Hawaii:
OUR FOREIGN POLICY.
''It is not denied that some mistakes
have occurred. Our foreign policy, espe-
cially that relating to Hawaii, it must
be admitted, has not met the expecta-
tions of the people. A sense Of humilia-
tion prevailed when the project for the
restoration of deposed monarchy was
unfolded by the administration, and
qualification ensued when its abandon
ment or failure was reluctantly an
nounced, influenced largely by an
aroused public sentiment.
Those are pretty plain facts and ex-
cellent Republican doctrines.
BLUNDER is WORSE HAN A GRIM
.sThat unfortunate contemplated pol
icy was a blunder, and a blunder is
sometimes worse than q crime. 1t was,
however, the natural consequence which
might well have been anticipated from
that other mistake in placing the de-
partment of state in charge of a Repub-
lican statesman, distinguished and es-
timable though he may be, whose pub
lie services have always been identified
in opposition to the Democratic party,
who was without sympathy for its ira
ditions and purposes, and whose politi-
cal convictions upon the disputed public
questions of the day, if changed at all,
II carefully concealed"
twill hardly be claimed, however,
that Mr.. Gresham has voiced any Re-
publican sentiment in his astonishing
acts regarding that country. Republic
an sentiment is all the other way.
DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINE.
1T is to be regretted that the presi-
dent should not have been able to find
in his own party some safe and honored
statesman in whom he and his party
could have placed confidence, one of
Democratic instincts and training, whose
Management of foreign affairs would
have reflected credit upon the country
and would have avoided the promulga-
shAVA VI thue un-6AihtIlCttii pOllIy-h VIC
parture from Democratic precedents--
which was sought to DO forced upon an
unwilling people. In this view of the
situation our opponents must accept
some share of the responsibility for the
plumbers committed in our foreign af-
fairs"
Cleveland will enjoy being informed
that his wicked ex-Republican secre-
tary,of state has led him astray. If his
acts do not meet Mr.. Hills approval,
no more do they meet that of the Re-
publicans, but SIS they have been form
ally approved b. the Democratic major
ity they must be considered as the Dem.
-ocratic doctrine 1t would be rather
hard on the Republicans to attempt tc
shoulder off Gresham's actions onto
them because he had been once of that
party and had gone over to Cleveland.

Criticism g Our MilIionares.

1t is high time that we in this country
should cease pointing the finger Of criti-
,cism at those whose worldly means are
greater than ours, and heap upon them
the spirit of malicious envy, writes Ed
ward w. Box in "At Home with the
Editor" in the LADIES' Home J0uTnG{.
We have reached that point where we
even seek to criticise our millionaires
when they buy yachts or give large social
functions. During these depressing
times 1 have constantly heard people
complaining because Mr.. Gould paid
$4,000 for yacht; because Mr.. Wander
bllt built two palaces costing him over
i've millions OF dollars, or that Mrs.
Astor gave a ball at cost of $4,000
Pray, why should they not? VIVA
helps the country at large more than
these very expenditures? If these people
boarded up their money we should be far
more justified in criticising them. The
more money that is put into circulation
In this country the better it is for US all.
indirectly some of it comes TO eacn o US.

That night he left his mother-in- law in
the back part of the house and retired 10

him, but it was with some difficulty that
she got him to say anything. He feebly

poison.
The poison was pumped out of him at
