that great army of humble and
devoted men who have dedicated
their lives to the moral and spirit
ual advancement of their fellow
men. With rare exceptions,
their lives are pure and disinterest-
ed, and from day to day they
carry hope and consolation to the
despairing and desolate. Instead
of living IN ease and luxury, the
vast majority of them exc out a
bare subsistence, asking no re-
ward for their labors than the
privilege of serving God, COM
forting and exalting mankind.

BRYAN AND THE MINISTERS.

In an address in Wilmington,
Delaware, candidate Bryan said
that his opposition to the pulpit
arose from the fact that the min
listers of the gospel were not in
sympathy with the poor of their
congregations, but needless of
their many wants; that they were
leagued with the monopolists in
keeping the poor down; that liv-
ing in ease and luxury themselves
they were needless of the real
wants of their fellow men. On
the evening of the 18th, Rev.
DIR. Banks of Brooklyn, took oc-
casion to rebuke Mr.. Bryan. He
spoke at Hanson Place Methodist
Church and his text was, .sThe
A'titude OF the American Pulpit
Toward the Poor. - Among
other things DR.. Banks said:
III that were true, it would be
the most awful and damnino
charge that could be brought
against the ministers of America
Coming from such source, from
the lips OF a man chosen to repre-
sent a great political party, and
spoken to a world wide audience.
1t certainly ought not to 90 I'M
challenged" DR.. Banks said
that Bryan had had ample time
and opportunity in which to dis
claim or apologize for making this
unjust charge, but had done
neither. There is no doubt that
Mr.. Bryan's Wilmington speech
was correctly reported, and it
shows to what lengths the
Fopocrat leader will go in order |
to stir up class hatred. The
TRIBUNE is far, very far indeed. |

BE JUST TO DEMOCRACY.

An exchange complains be-
cause Republicans accuse the
Democratic party of never having
done anything beneficial for the
country, and then gravely sets up
the following defense; .sFirst ;.
that the Democratic party is over
a hundred years old; second, it
has stood for equal rights to all
and special privileges to none from
the time when Thomas Jefferson
enunciated its platform. Let us
examine these weighty points.

standing" ability. But how
about the ''individual liberty
Of the colored voters in Georgia,
Alabama, South Carolina and
Mississippi ''Certain unprin-
cipled Republicans would try to
make the uniformed believe that
the Democratic party has always
believed in secession. - Indeed?
In rebutting this indictment our
contemporary points to Jackson
threatening to hang every traitor
in South Carolina. Who was he
talking tor Democrats, WASH tit?
We advise our exchange to read
the Kentucky and Virginia reso-
lutions drawn up and presented to
their respective state Legislatures
in 1898. The Kentucky resolu-
ITEMS were formulated by Jeffer-
son, those of Virginia by Madison.
Then read the Kentucky resolu-
ton of 1899; then read about
Georgia's notification acts and
finally the debates in Congress
over the Senate bill which gave
President Jackson power to en-
force the tariff of 1892 and thus
prevent the secession of South
Carolina. After that it will know
more about Democracy in the in
term between Jefferson and Bry-
an. Another thing accredited to
the Democratic party as boon
conferred by it on a suffering
country is this: Some Pennsyl-
vanla Wings once upon time
threatened to seceed. How that
legend can be accounted credit
able to Democracy is beyond
human ken. But as a matter of
concrete fact, who did finally do
the seceeding? We are told that
the Democracy of Cleveland is
spurious. We would be pleased
to have pointed out wherein it
differs from the Jefferson article
except solely and alone on the
subject of Protection. The Bryan
brand, we are informed, is gen
line. Would be glad to see
Jacksonian and Bryan doctrines
in parallel columns. But we hope
: 'unprincipled Republicans will
hereafter be more just to the
Democratic party.

WE believe it was Blaine who
said that coalitions are proverbially
weak. Never was a proverb
more perfectly indicated and
verified than in the present cam !
paign. In Georgia the Popuiists
have repudiated the Democratic
Populist fusion deal consummated
at St. Louis, and some of the
leaders have come out squarely
for Mckinley. In Nebraska the
fusion is all ripped and racked to
pieces. Arkansas is in open re-
volt. Here is what the Newark
Gazette, leading Arkansas Pop
ulist paper says:

a conspiracy as foul and damnable as

tiOn of their respective claims to
popular support. The men, as
well as the principles they stand
for, should be carefully and can
didly scrutinized with view to
giving credit where credit is due
and exposing the defects and fall
lacies discoverable in the process
of just investigation. James
Gum, standing upon the merit of
his own character, two state and
two national platforms, appeals
to the voters with pathetic force.
He has successfully stood upon a
variety of political supports, de-
tered by extreme amiability from
refusing anything offered. THE
TRIBUNE believes that Mr.. Gum
is sincere and conscientious, but
in political matters one may be,
at once, entirely conscientious
and radically wrong. Upon his
own confession, Mr.. Gum stands
convicted of having enjoyed that
condition for many years. Mr..
Gum is possessed of commenda-
bic traits, but is unhappily afflict-
ed with grave defects. The mo-
tives in his heart are generally
good, but his judgment is impair
ed and his efforts to accomplish
laudable deeds are constantly
thwarted by the perversity of his
understanding. In word, he
is man to command esteem for
what he would do and invite CEN
sure for what he does do. He
is living contradiction, con-
stantly aiming in one direction
and informally firing-to the OPP
posite. Should Mr.. Gum be
elected to represent this state in
congress, his usual fortune will
attend him and, while earnestly
seeking to do good, he will in
evitably fall into evil, and the
consequence will be that he will
bring reproach upon himself and
discredit to the state. His heart
and conscience are above criti-
cism, but his understanding is fla
tally defective, and therefore he
is not such a man as a wise and
conservative people would, after
calm deliberation, elect to repre-
sent them in the national legisla-
ture.
w. E. Borah presents features
for consideration which, from the
point of personal qualification,
are far superior-to the claims of
Mr.. Gum. Mr., Borah s men
tai equipment is, in most respects,
unexceptional. He is a LAWYER
Of ability and distinction; a bril-
liant orator and, withal, man '
Of uncommon capacity. The {
TRIBUNE entertains the most pro- {
found respect for his natural abil- /
~ and acquired attainments I
md desires here to make full and i
hearty acknowledgement. Our f
natural bias inclines forcibly to- !
wards this normally clever and I
accomplished young man. But '
~ some witchery ne appears to +
nave temporarily lost his mental '
and instead of shining t
With the steady lustre of a fixed r
tar, ne has, for some occult P
preferred a meteoric a
.areer, content to flicker a mo-
nent on the political horizon and
hen pass haplessly away into the
hades Of obscurity. The per- c
'lexities incident to the extraor- [
Iinary political developments of d
he past few months, have dis c,
losed a lack a stability in Mr.. IL
lorah' $ character as unexpected IL

he can not be upheld without
giving countenance to disreputa-
bic political methods and discred-
tied politicians. He has linked
his political fortunes to a quasi
party which has no hope of a po-
litical future and makes no pre-
tense of political principle. He
has attached himself to the tail Of
Senator Dubois kite, and should,
for the present, enjoy the fate
which awaits the superior body
Having formed these connections,
Mr.. Borah can not complain if
he be regarded with a large
measure of doubt and distrust.
Though done in a thoughtless
moment, he has passed under the
shadow and must abide the con-
sequence. We look forward
with the most pleasureable emo
tons to that day when reason
shall be again enthroned and w.
F. Borah emerge from the clouds
OF error and the ban of doubt.
Considering his present unsavory
connections, THE TRIBUNE is
unable to discover any substantial
grounds for supporting him. He
is the candidate of an irregular
and questionable combination,
which stands convicted Of at
tempted bribery and charged with
forgery. He is the subordinate
of man who enjoyed the bounty
OF the Republican party for ten
years and in the end expressed
his gratitude by trying to destroy
it. AS long as Mr.. Borah cen
tinues his present relations, he
must be regarded as representa-
tive of those measures and that
man. 1t is with profound sorrow
The TRIBUNE is driven to these
structures, but the logic of facts
can net be escaped.
John T. Morrison, of this city, |
is presented as the candidate of
the Republican party for Repre-
sentative in Congress. He stands
firmly and squarely on Republi-
can principles as enunciated in
national and state platforms. Mr..
harrison is not, politically speak
ing, as versatile as Mr.. Gum.
nor as brilliant, in a meteoric
sense, as Mr.. Borah; but he is a
man of remarkably even and re-
liable ability. Intellectually he
IS Mr.. Borah's equal, and in
of character his superior.
In our judgment he should be
,lassed with the sound, common
sense element, rather than with
hat brilliant but dangerously un-
certain class commonly known as
geniuses. Being man of posi-
i've convictions, possessed of the
courage to express them, Mr..
Morrison is not the ideal politi-
ian. There is not a trace of the
lemagogue in him, He thinks

The statesman who sells his vote for
a railroad pass sells it cheaply, but
most people are apt to suspect that he
is better paid.
Nature teaches us that a stream will
always make way at the point Of
least resistance. The chief obstacle to
the success of the Prohibition cause to-
day, is the conservatism of the nation,
to their fear and prejudice against any
thing new or in the style of an inno-
vatlon. What class so free from this
conservatism, as the young people?
Would it not be then the truest and
highest political wisdom to concen-
trate all our energy upon the class
most likely to be influenced by our
facts and arguments? If you want
practical results, push the Junior
League movement.
