EDITOR SpoTswooD, of the Harrods

EDITOR SpoTswooD, of the Harrods-
burg Democrat, who was turned from
the path of virtue and democracy In
the last campaign, is an optimist OF the
purest ray serene. He and his crowd
swore that the only chance for prosper
ity was in the defeat of Bryan, and hav-
ing accomplished that purpose, he now
seeks to make people believe that pros
perity is upon us, even at our very
doors. The people would never know
it except told by some oracle like the
Democrat, and we fear that even COM
ing from a source usually so reliable,
there will be found a few doubling
Thomases. Mckinley may plant and
Bro. Spotswood may water, but the In
crease doesn't come by saying so. When
itdoes, if ever, we will gladly welcome
it and impart the fact to our readers,

be found in the INTERIOR JOURNAL, not

WE have never been great admlrer
of Senator David Bennett Hill, oil New
York. but we have never doubted MS
democracy or moderated his ability An
article from him in the current NUMBER
of the Forum on the mistakes and the
future of the democratic party Is sum
cient to compel the admiration even Oh
an enemy. He tells in forceiul IAN
guage how extremists got in the saddle
at Chicago and rode the party out OF It's
well beaten paths on several issues In
order to satisfy the populists ana get
their vote. These mistakes, he says,
must not be repeated: the Objectionable
features of the platform must be aoan-
doned, or there must be a material mod
ification of its essential provisions; con-
seryatism must replace radicalism; the
selfish interests of sectionalism must
give way to the best interests OF the
whole country: Cancellation must pre-
vail instead of ostracism: broad ana
liberal policy in party management
must be adopted; there must be greater
freedom of opinions tolerated and SIN
cere efforts made to harmonic and ad-
lust honest differences: unholy alliances
with populists must be avoided; and
above all, there must be return to the
fundamental principles OF the party
from which temporarily it has so ma
terially departed-these are the essen
tial requirements by which success be-
comes possible in the future. The Sem
ator took no part in the Indianapolis
business, and while he compliments
many of the principles it laid down, says
its action on the financial question was
a disappointment, turning complete
somersault on the coinage question and
declaring in favor of single gold
standard as the permanent policy OF
the government. Concluding, he says:
If, guided by wise counsels, the regular
organization shall avoid the mistakes
of 1896, upon which l have commented
"a course which millions of democrats
sincerely hope may be pursued-the In
dianapolis organization will naturally
speedily dissolve, and a united demo-
cratic front may again be presented to
