cred in the home on the 18th to pay their

The floral tributes were abundant and
very beautiful, two floral pillows, one from
her sisters, the Kings Daughters, and q
large one which showed the words, "Our
Mother"
Pinks, calla lilies and lovely roses
were sent by loving friends As she

which passeth all understanding, the last
impress of the spirit which had left the
body and passed on to the shining shore,
we could but "feel it is well with thee, a
mansion shall be thy inheritance for thou
art Kings daughter"

Street Commissioner Norton had crew
of men at work yesterday putting Water
street in respectable condition. The filth
and debris which had accumulated amounted
to many loads and its absence from the
pavement will be appreciated. A practical
man epeaking of the condition Of the street
during the latter part of the winter when
the filth was several inches deep on top of
the ice and rendered passing over
it on runners next to impossible, said
that the farmers might have made a hand
some thing by cleaning it off and hauling it
onto their land. 1t would have made the
best of manure and would have been had
cheap there being only the cost of scraping
it up and hauling it away.

Miss Janet Pelham WAS the dearest little
old maid that ever lived. She had the bird
like alacrity and cheerfulness of her broth
er, but with a sweet and aniablc DISPOSE
ton which was less perceptible in his char
actcr because of the restraint imposed by
considerations of professional etiquette

Miss Pelham could not permit me to prac-
ticc scales on Sunday. Possibly she felt
for her neighbors, for the walls were thin,
and they certainly heard enough strum-
ming for six days Of the week to entitle
them to a days rest on the seventh. But
the inaction which was a godsenl to them
was intolerable to me, and so on the second

WHAT IT ALL PoRrENDs,

We have frequently noted in these
columns the evidence to be found all
over the country showing that the po-
litical parties TO-DAY are in a condition
of upheaval and disintegration similar
to that which broke up the parties from
'49 to go, and caused so radical a re-
alignment of men in their party rela-
tious. We have said, what must be
plain to any observer, that party ties
never since that great revolution sat so
lightly upon men of all parties.
While this factis generally recognized,
different observers draw from it differ
ent conclusions as to ultimate results.
The Dispatch. recognizing the condl-
lions, sole mnIy reaches the conclusion
that it means the final overthrow and
death of the Democ ratio party. Posi-
bly, here the wish is father to the
thought. If it were simply a conflict of
| party organizations; il underneath these
| political formations it were not conflict
| of fundamental. vital and eternal prin-
ciples. one seeing only the surface con-
| ditions, and making forecast from the
| history Of parties, could not fail 10 come
to the conclusion that it meant the dis
| solution of the Republican party.
He would see in existence today the
Democratic party. which has had a
| continued life during the century
of the country's existence. 1t over
threw the Federal party. 1t struggled
with its successor. the Wing party. aud
! saw it goto its grave. 1t attended the
obsequies of the Knownothing party.
| and it would have years ago buried its
present competitor but for the fact
that it was able for so many
years to keep the attention of the
people conferred upon the war aud its

STUDENTS or MAXiMS AND
MARKETS.

When few years ago President Har.
riSon said with sheer that 1.-THE DemG-
Gratis are students Of maXimS and not of
markets." he intended it to he inferred
that his party had contempt for max
inns and gave their attention to the study
of markets. But the only market 10
which they ever directed their attention
or cared for was the home maj ket. This
they have magnilied. ard almost deified.
Ii they have thought of foreign markets
at all, it was only as place in which to
sell. and in which to buy was something
in the nature Of treason against our
country.
They now bitterly censure Chairman
Wilson for saying in his speech in Lon
don that it was the policy of the Demo-
cratic party to take down the barriers.
i'll order 10 let our manufacturers and
merchants have a chance at foreign
markets as well as the home market.
Democrats do not cOnfina their attention
solely to markets, but consider the QueS-
ton of markets in connection with those
maXimS which are the concentrated
wisdom drawn from the experience of
the commercial nations. One of the
truest OF these is that you cannot shut
imports out without shutting exports
in"
This is as true of locality as it is Of
a nation, and 1t is as true of all indi-
vlduaI as it is of any locality. The man
who will buy nothing can sell nothing.
Men produce more than they need
themselves in order that they may buy
things they want. The surplus prod
ucts of any locality are used to eX.
change for things it wants. As no man
can live and prosper who produces
nothing for exchange, neither can na.
ton.
The best illustration of this is the
present condition of China. which for
centuries has pursued this Harrisenian
policy OF studying markets aud ignor-
ing maxims. 1t built an enormous wall
of masonry on its northern frontier to
prevent intercourse with people outside
its line, and it sealed its seacoast ports
against the entry of 1.-THE foreign devlP'
until compelled to open them partially
and reluctantly at tine mouth of the
cannon of commercial nations. She
cared neither to sell abroad nor to buy
abroad. She has put for centuries into
practice the Republican theOl y that pur-
chases of foreign product deprive the
home wage Garner Of so much labor.
Today she is engaged i'll conflict
with puny neighbor, having less
than a tenth of her population, but
one who for years has pursued dl.
rectlY the opposite policy of her
great antagonist, and today finds
herself thoroughly equipped Tor the
conflict and superior III every way be-
cause she has been studying and apply
ing the maxims forged in the expert
ence of other nations In China we
have the doctrine Of Mckinleyism fully
ripened into fruit. In Japan we have
the result of the policy OF which MIR.
Wilson is the representative, and the
two Instances illustrate that national
success. as we'll as individual success,
depends upon the conjoined study of
markets and maXims.

WAS GRANT. 100, A TRAITOR?
Mr. Wilson is depOunpad as M better


than traitor by the Republican papers
for telling an English audience that the
Democrats were intent upon taking
down the tariff barriers which, while
they shut out i'm ports. also shut in our
exports. and that the purpose of doing
this was to permit our manufacturers to
compete with those Of England Tor the
trade of the world. Mr.. Wilson is not
the only American who has talked 10
English audiences Oh the trade relations
of the two countries. or has warned
them what the result will be when this
nation ceases its stupid policy and
enters into open competition with other
nations.
In 1877 ex-President Grant. having
completed two terms as Republican
president, visited England in his tour
| around the world, and addressed audi
ences in many of its manufacturing
centers. Among others, he spoke at
Birmingham, where he was accom-
panied, by the way, by Mr.. Morton,
| now the Republican candidate for gov
ernor in New York, and in the course
| OF his remarks he said:
| Now, there is one subject that has
| been alluded to here that do not know
| that should speak upon at all. | have
/ heard 1t occasionally whispered since l
| have been in England. and that is the
| great advantages that would accrue to
| ;he United States il free trade should
| only be established. have sort of rec
objection, through reading, that England
herself had a protective tariff until she
| had manufactures somewhat estab-
| lished. L think we are rapidly pro-
crossing in the way of establishing
| manufactures ourselves, and 1 believe
we shall become one of the greatest
| free trade nations OIL the face of the
earth; and when we both come to be
| free traders l think that probably the
balance OF nations had better stand
| aside. and not contend with us at all in
| the markets of the world.
There is nothing in the speech made
| by Mr.. Wilson at the London banquet
that is not to be found in the sense, if
not in the words, OF Gen. Grant to the
| people OF Birmingham. and the same
| judgment that declares Mr.. Wilson to
be traitor to his country and its inter-
ests for what he said, also condemns
| Gen. Grant.

The gentlemen in charge of CAM
paigns are amusing themselves nova
days by giving out estimates of the
vote. and of the majorities or pluralities
their respective candidates will receive.
No one of them has the slightest foun-
dation in fact for any estimates he
makes, and no man in the state knows
or can know what the result. or the ap-
proximate result, of the election will he.
When Judge Wilson, in 1890. came in
from his Speaking trips all over the
state. he would say TO his committee
that DO predictions whatever could be
made, as the foundations of the parties
were all broken up. The process of
foundation smashing has been going on
at an accelerating pace ever since; and
any estimates whatever based upon
past conditions are utterly worthless.
We suggest to these gentlemen that,
instead of wasting any time in making
figures or calculations on the probable
results. they all of them buckle into
their work and do their level best from
now to election, and let the results be as
| certained by tine counters of the ballots.
