Democracy's Noble Purposes.

Democracy that it found itself no
longer able 10 lead to victory. Then

Now if the Democratic convention
at Chicago did such dastardIv deed
as to trrmple under foot the noble
purposes OF Demo cracy, what are
these noble purposes Of which The
Lopisy;lie-Courier Journal speaks
and which it charges were so ruth
lessly over run.
1t has been charged by the enc

Notwithstanding some reason that

is 1T ignoble in the opinion of the
Louisville Courier Journal to stand
for bold and vigorous policy?
A party must stand eor something
must serve useful purpose, other

And instead of tramplirg under

Let General Lee be Retained.

If President Mckinley wishes 10
crafty the people, regardless of po-
litical b9liefs, if he desires, in addi
ton, to please the sound money
Democrats" who so largely contribu-
ted to his election, he will have no
trouble in effecting both objects by
retaining General Fitz Hugh Lee in
the Consulate General at Havana.
General Lee, more than any other
appointee of the late Administration
has typifed the true Americon spirit.
Though Cleveland and Olney were
inimical to the cause of liberty.
though in championing American
citizens like Ruiz be was aiding that
cause, General Lees hot American
blood would not permit him to lie
supine and cynical, like his chiefs.
when tho Spanish we're violating the
laws yf nations, insulting the United
States and outraging the American
citizens. Disregarding everything
but the generous humane impulses
OF manhood, he has played the part
OF humane and generous man and
has at once shamed his selfish su
periors and sat an example OF fiery
natrIOtISn and raolylace
Ism that was sadly needed in this
commercial age.
General Lee has deserved we'll of
his country. AS his countrys chief
officer, President Mckinley should
see to it that General Lees deserts
are rewarded. He should immedi
ately nominate for Consul General to
Havana Fitz Hugh Lee, of Virginia.

SNAPP SHOTS.

O"nf w ~
The customers at the National
pie counter would like TO kick at the
hardness 10 serving them, but they
are afraid.
The English government and the
English people appear to have taken
opposite sides in the wrangle be
tween Greece and Turkey.
President Mckinley has shown
considerable adroitness in avoiding
the appearance of taxing sides with
party factions, but whether be can
keep up with that sort of thing right
along is yet to be seen.
The Senate doesn't appear to be
any more in Murray to act upon
the arbitration treaty now than it
was at the last session, notwithstand
ing brother McKinley's endorsement
Of it.
The man who would wager even
that the new tariff law would become
law before the first of July is the
sort of gambler who doesn't care
which end he puts bis money Gu.
Candidates will not forget to cite
the blowing up of an Ohio postoffice
with dynamite as an argument for
hurry up their appointment.
The suggestion of President Nc
Kinley that Congress authorize a
non-partisan commission tc investi
gate and report to Congress was
more certainty inat the members
chosen would be actually non parti
son and unbiased in making their
investigation and report.
The wise man doesn't bpnk on the
goo d things Of the politics until

Brother Moody, certain members
of Congress, aud members of the
Minnesota Legislature should en-
deavor to got together in their
ideas of the location of the Internal
regions.
Men who speculate in foreign
goods will fnd no fault of the slow
ness of the Senate in acting upon
the new tariff bill at the extra session
of Congress.
1t is better TO wait and see what
the extra session of Congress does
before deciding whether it will be
beneficial or otherwise TO the coun
try.
If the Senators of his party wish
TO take fall ont OF his conceit, they
will put Senator Hama in charge of
the reorganization of the Senate.
In expellng a member for corrup-
ton in Office, the Montana legisla
ture put itself on record as reouir
ing a higher standard of morals in
its members than most of the State
legislatures do.
Some idea of the great pressure
for office may be obtained from the
fact that there are more than three
hundred applicants for the petty di
plomatic and consular representa-
tive of the U. S. in the Southern
countries.
1t will be noticed that in his of
fetal proclamation calling an extra
session of Congress President Nc
kinley says Congress is called to
consider "sueh communications as
may be made by the Executive
Does the President suppose that
Congress can be stopped if it desires
to consider other things, or has he
merely dropped hint of his wishes?

THE Spirit Of the Valley asks

it, there is-not much trouble TO ex

the convention will have to live

are kept, constitutional conven-
ton will result i'll much good to
the taxpayers of the State. If. on
the other hand, the con yention is
called, and the people of the State
receive no benefit from it in the
way OF reduction of expenses. aud.
consequently, reduction of TAXA.

sons we think that the party con

benefited, for when it comes to a
matter'of taxation the voters will
stand by the party that will bring
