The Way It Should Be.

When the people rule in fact as well
as in the name; when the politician
shall be taught to look 70 the common
taxpayers and not to any political
machine or faction for Instructions;
when the government of cities and
states is representative Of the true
Democracy; when no man can take
possession of the political franchise
of his fell0wman; when every citizen
will exercise his sacred rights in the
full light of day without fear or favor
and the independence Of the citizen is
protected by such laws and regula
tons as will make its violation
crime which no man will dare commit;
when the spirit Of the constitution
and the declaration of Independence
shall permeate politics and control the
actions of men, there will be less of
scandal and more of peace and honor

THE awakening of the people, the
lessons taught by returning prosperl-
ty, the songs of hope in the cottage of
labor, the hum of spindles and music
of industry in the manufacturing dis
tricts of the country all bespeak a
glorious outlook for the Democratic
party. Prosperity means hope for
Democracy; it means despair for the
advocates of McKinleyism. The out.
look is encouraging and Democracy

SENATOR HILL may not want the
Democratic nomination for president
next year, and Mr. Whitney may not
want it, but each, independently, will
want to name the man for the posi-
ton. Mr.. Hills tariff position has
made him ineligible, he knows this,
and Mr.. Hill is opposed to Mr.. Whit
ney, and this lessons Mr.. Whitney's
chances if he has any aspirations for
the nomination. Both will want to
control the delegation to the National
Convention next year, and all these
conditions will make New York state
full of entertainment from now until
the next convention.
