Responding to toast to his health,
Mr.. Bayard dwelt upon the importance
OF the legal profession, Of which be was
truant and unworthy member, as an
agency for the promotion of good I'M
derstanding and peace unity among
nadons. Commerce, he said, was a
clyilizing agent, but the law was even
more so. Law was possible without
commerce, but it was safe to say that
commerce would be impossible without
law. To be an honorable worker in the
temple of international justice was an
elevating ambition. The legal profess
sion was great agent for the pacitica-
ton of human disputes. ...

Only Two Parties Needed.

The wreck which came TO the Popu-
illustration to tue many which were
furnished before of the fact that two
parties are all that are needed by the
American people. All over the country
where the Ponulists had gained foot
hold they lost ground in the canvasses
of 1898 and 1894. In those which have
just taken place their defeat was con-
spieuous and overwhelming. They lost
many of the seats which they held in
Congress, and in the State elections in
Kansas and Colorado they were buried
under an avalanche of votes. In Ne
braska, where an improper Republican
nomination for Governor gave them a
chance to carry the election, their
small majority was obtained through
fraud, and probably will be overturned
by the courts.
The fate of the PopulIsts is the same
as that of all the other minor parties
which have appeared in our politics.
The Anti Masonic, the Know-Nothing,
the Greenback and the Labor parties,
after strutting and fretting their little
hour upon the stage, passed away. They
either represented prejudices social or
religious like the first two, or. like the
others, they stood for ideas and policies
which were fallacious or mischievous.
Nof Of hn mi,
any purpose or policy which could
stand the test of intelligent investiga-
ton. They represented no great
opinion or doctrine WHICH endHres.
Necessarily they appealed only to a
class, and. by the constitution of their
being, the moment they stopped grow.
ing at the geometrioal rate of progress
sion death came to hand.
Two parties at one time are all that
can thrive or exert any important or
lasting influence in this country
Every policy which has the faintest
chance to prevail or which ought to
prevail is sure to find champion sooner
or later in one or other of the great
organizations. This has been the
experience of the United States from
the beginning. Government by parties
is natural and inevitable ~ all countries
having representative institutions, but
the popular will, when definitely
determined and intelligently expressed,
can be carried out far more promptly
and effectively in countries where there
are only two parties than it can where
the political elements are split up into
fragraments and shifting combinations
of fragments, as is the case in most of
the countries of continental Europe.

Newspaper ADVERTISING is fast takir

Newspaper advertising is fast taking
the place of any other kind of advertis-
ing among progressive merchants. This
is reasonable when person reflects q
little. 1t is poor paper indeed that
has not five hundred readers, Ia those
it goes tifty-two times q year, if it be
weekly paper, y is taken into the
home. It is read and re-read by every
member of the household ard the
neighbors too, who drop in to just look
at the miserable sheet Otherwise it is
with hand bill. Usually the hand
bills are handed oat on the streets, left
on the porch or stuck In behind the
door knob. If man takes one on the
street he generally glances at it to see
what it is and throws it away. Tbe
ones left on the porcines and behind the
door knobs are generally lost. Adver-
tiscments in public places and on fences
are seldom read Not so with ADVERTISE
ments in newspapers-thev are read
more generally now than ever. Adver-
tising writing has become profession
i'll the large cities and advertisements
are generally the best written part of
the paper. This has stimulated the
public to read advertisements

What 1t Means.

The meaning of the late election is so
plain that no person of ordinary intelli-
gence can fail to understand it. There
are no local and superficial reasons to
the whole country with uniform effect.
1t clearly represents a general feeling,
a sentiment due to conditions and ten
denotes existing IN all tie States. That
is to say, the same causes that operated
to defeat Hill in New York operated to
defeat Wilson in West Virginia, and to
give advantages to the Republicans
everywhere. The people Of all sections
went to the polls with common impulses
and purposes; and the verdict that they
rendered is to be interpreted as a re-
pudiation Of the Democratic party
because of its demonstrated nntitness
for the work of conducting the affairs of
the Government. When they voted
two years ago 20 restore thai party to
power. they supposed that it would
honestly strive to deserve their conf
dence, and that it was capable of dealing
with important questions in an intelli-
gent and businesslke manner. In this
expectation they We're cruelty and
shamefully disappointed. They have
learned by experience that they made
d monstrous mistake in exchanging
Republican for Democratic rule. This
fact has been brought home to them by
a serious and widespread succession of
misfortunes; and it is impossible to
make them believe that such condi-
ton of things would have ensued if the
election of 1892 had resulted differently.
