BAILEY OF TEXAS.

The new Democratic leader in the House
of Representatives., who is sometimes
called "Baby Bailey and sometimes
Young Bailey of Texas" deserves some
congratulauon upon the manner in which
he has led his party during the contro-
versy. over the tariff He has saved
Democracy from making the unseemly
wrangle which it made against the Nc
Kinley bill, and has thus done much to
restore the fallen prestage OF his party.
The new leader is in some respects q
notable man. He was elected to Congress
ct the age of 26, and has now been re-
elected three times. He is the youngest
man ever chosen to lead a great party IN
the House of Representatives. and i. is
some; hing to his credit that: while so
young in years, he has achieved leader
ship over such veterans i'll party warfare
as McMillin of Tennessee. Bland of Mis-
souri, and others of almost equal length of
service and party eminence.
The new leader is a conservative. 1t is
said that he was opposed to Bryan, and
supported him only through loyalty to
the Democratic party. His choice by the
Democrats of the House for the lead ersh p
was regarded in Washington as an eSi-
dence that the party intended to break
away from the radicalism OF the Bryan
movement and return to that conservatism
which has been its hereditary policy. The
manner in which Mr.. Bailey conducted
the fight against the tariff seems to con-
firm these views. He certainly showed
himself 10 be a good parliamentarian,. a
man OF calm temper, self-possession and
courtesy to his opponents, and she very
reverse of an agitator.
The Democratic party may well con-
gratulate itself on having such leader at
this time. When one contrasts his tactics
with the manner in which the leaders Of
the party conducted the fight against the
Mckinley bill, and recalls the tiisgraceful
uproars which disturb bed the proceedings
of Congress at that time, it will be seen
that the new leader is worth much to
the party. He could not defeat the Re-
publican tariff, but be could and did hold
the fools of his own party in restraint,
and that is an accomplishment of which
any leader may be proud.

THE FARCE IN EUROPE.

Not only in the Cuban affair, but in the
Cretan affair as well, the attitude of the
Christian military world toward the op-
pressed in war is calculated to bring down
ridicule upon the very idea OF civilized.
warfare. Has the military world turned
into a brass band parade of dotardsP One
mis- ght, by an idle play upon the imagina-
ton, conceived of an infirmary of old men
out on "a holiday, their impotent bodies
encased in armor in senile emulation of
Don Quixote, and the feet and arms. of
them whirling around in a burst of de-
Iiricus peacockery; and one wouldn't ex-
pect anything but a pitiabe farce from
them. But to the recognized powers" of
Europe, the very cream of modern SOL
diery, for whom are invented cannons
that will shoot ten miles and armor plates
that will withstand the cannons at any
distance, one is likely to look for greater
things.
|: Perhaps the constant improvement of
arms and the corresponding i'm provement
of armor TO withstand them has devel-
oped an uncertainty and fear OF wars
conse quences which in turn have ulti-
mately resolved into a persuasion that
there never will be any serious attempt to
force war TO the test. This may have
made them reckless in the face of warlike
threats, and overconfident in the power
of diplomacy TO settle differences between
nations. AT any rate diplomacy and ar
bitration have grown in favor correspond
ingly as implements of war have grown in
effectiveness. And to-day, as result of
this ludicrous Inconsistency, the world is
edited by the spectacle of great squadrons
of steel-clad vessels. armed TO the very
water line and looking like floating PIN
cushions with. cannons for pins paroling
up and down before little Greece in a.
solemn endeavor to promote arbitration
and maintain diplomacy! Ye Athenian
gods and Mediterranean fishes! what a
parody upon the deeds of our ancestors.
Greece doesn't want anything TO do
with these chiidren's games of arbitration
and diplomacy. She wants plain, simple,
old-iashioned justice, and she is going TO
fight for it in the good old way which
made and unmade empires. raised heroes
from the ranks, brought kings and princes
to their knees and peop.e1 history with
characters of flesh and blood. Read the
message of Colonel Vassos to the "pow-
ers." lit is to the people of Europe that
l appeal" he exclalms-"those people who
ignore the method and reject the sophls-
try of diplomacy. 1t is for them now to
put an end to 8 policy. which. whatever
its professed aim, is fraught with untold
horrors, and threatens whole people
with determination"

CASE IN WHICH PRESIDENT MCKINLEY Is
PARTICULARLY INTERESTED.

CASE IN WHICH PRESIDENT MCKINLEY Is
PARTICULARLY INTERESTED.
The President has shown great interest in
the love affairs of a young man from Ohio
and has taken role in a romance which does
credit both to his heart and head, says the
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Record The young man referred to may be
called Jones for purposes of Identification
and he may be located at Cincinnati, al
though he has different name and lives in
another place. Shortly before Inauguration
Jones called upon the President at Canton TO
pay his respects and to his embarrassment
Major Mckinley inquired how he was getting
on with his love affair. Jones lodged the
question, but the major pinned him down and
finally extracted from his reluctant lips a
confession that he had not yet persuaded the
young iadv in the case 10 accept his heart and
hand, although he hoped to be able 10 do so.
Jones explained that mis- prospects were not
very aliuring aud that love in CO ttage had
no attractions for the young lady he desired
for bis wife.
.'Do you think she. would like to live abroad
a little wniie?" as ked the President.
81 wouldn't wonder" said Jones' ..althouch
1 have never discussed that sui ject with her
/ imagine she is like most young ladies, and
would enjoy seeing foreign lands"
sWell," " said the President" ''if you think 1t
will DO any good, tell her that will give you
a consular appointment as a wedding present.
Pick out eight or ten places in Europe that you
think would suit her, and when take up con-
sular matters will nominate you tor one of
them"
Jones thanked the President warmly, and
has since notified him that he would be mar
rled early in June.
