No Wonder They Are Alarmed.

The declaration of Comptroller Eckes that there
other things besides free silver that need looking after
in the Democratic platform gives rise to the suspicion
that the Cuckoo Democrats afraid the Chicago
vention will conclude its deliberations without endorsing
the Cleveland administration In fact there is danger
of the adoption of ring resolution denouncing the
specked streak striped policy of the President and
nothing but the fear of its effect the campaign will
prevent its being presented.
Truth is that this government never before
controlled by unpopular administration and has
become Democratic confession that its present offensive
attitude is the result of unfued plattudinous cam
pagn promises that bear the earmarks of Presidential
demagogue. Under the Mckinley rust-breedng tariff
the country made to sweat toearned dollars Fac
tories and workshops looked upon little less than
hives of hreings, without independence privilege
and the pay rolls of many great corporations
garded by unscrupulous managers of squeez
ing profits through horizontal reductions of wages The
of trust had become so obnoxious that the pre-
election antitrust philippcs of Mr.. Cleveland vel
coined declarations of public deverance and both he
and the Democratic party were trumphany placed in
power to redeem their many pledges of beratng
poration ridden public.
In 1892 the election of President Cleveland marked
political revolution The radical change of sentiment
expressed by the Chicago assembage indicates that
the of disastrous financial upheava brought
by the neglect of the President to conciate the op
posing factions of his party and to prosecute and de-
stroy the growing influence of trusts, his various
campaign utterances clearly obligated him to do Instead
Of emancipation under his the public has
experienced increased captastic bondage In place of
return to prosperity and plenty the country has been
plunged deeply into the miseries of adversely,
UNTIL in desperation the have turned for relief
the crazebran rawlings of rillman and the uncertain
leadership Of such Ageld, Bland and the silver
king mine
No wonder those truly interested in the welfare of the
country alarmed the financial outlook. No wonder
the cuckoo contingent is rayng at Chicago to prevent
outraged party from branding its unfaithful leader
with the stigma of denunciatory resolution No wonder
the of popular discomfort has grown in strength
and volume No wonder President Cleveland is dis
enthroned idol, a disfranchised Democrat. No wonder
he is suffering the penalty of his msconceived
idea of carrying out his pledges No wonder great pub
lie crisis is at hand Yes, no wonder.

THE NATIONS BIRTHDAY.

It is just as well for young and old
not To let the anniversary of the day
upon which, after much travail, a nation
sprang into life and what has come TO be
the greatest republic the world ever knew
was ushered into existence. pass without
giving thought to that event AMI all that
followed it Every boy should be told
that every firecracker set off today symbol
izes shot fired by the patriots of 20, and
the historic Importance of the day should
be placed before him in the simplest pos
sible manner. Nor should the older folks
fail to remember that in their hands rests
the heritage bequeathed them-the des-
tiny Of the republic. the upholding OF its
institutions, the perpetuity, the dignity
and purity of the government No

The person who by repeated acts OF law.

kept secluded, because his presence among
men, like that of wild beast, can only
work harm. The strictest discipline con-

The Iowa idea seems to be in line with
the theory that the primary object OF the

the reformation of the inalefactor. The

PAROLING PRISONERS.

A method OF dealing with penitentiary
convicts, with a view to their reformation,
is being tried in Iowa, which comnends
itself as apparently calculated to produce
good results. Instead of granting pris-
oner an unconditional pardon Gov Drake
grants him parole. He is released upon
promise TO lead an honest, moral life and
to abstain from the use of intoxicants.
If he keeps his pledge he is not molested; If
he does not, be is promptly returned to
prison and must serve out the full term of
his sentence.
Itis reported that of alfthc prisoners thus
set at liberty it has been found necessary

men left the state, but that does not ap-

is a class of prisoners in whose cases

Them to prove by their course of life that
