DEMOCRATIC leaders who have
borne the heat and burden Of the day
during many years and many cam
paigns must experience a strange
sensation on finding themselves read
out Of the party by newcomers in
that organization. William Jennings
Bryan, who voted for the Pcpulist
candidate for President in 1882, and
who was nominated on nanarchistic
platoon in 1896, calmly announced
through his representative in the
various States that only men who sup
ported him and his platform last year
can be admitted to participation in
Democratic conventions or primaries
in any State in the campaign of 1897.
The following extract from the call
for the Ohio Democratic convention
is sample of the way Mr.. Bryan and
those who do his bidding lay down
the law. That call announces that

President MCKINLEY's ambition
to attach his signature to the new
tariff bill by the fourth of July seems
likely to be realized. The Senate is
making remarkable progress with
that measure and old officials predict
that the bill will now pass that body
by about June Goth, and that the
conference will be an unusually brief
one, thus fastening its final compile
ton. The progress made in the Sen

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS.

Here our lives must part forever,
Here must end the golden days,
To return again-ah, never!
'Ts the parting of the ways.
Heart to heart, in glad refrain,
HAND to hand have walked together,
Through the sunshine and the rain,
Never dreaming thus to sever.
Now my heart must saddened be,
And my soul chant mournful lays,
For drift for aye from thee
lis the parting of the ways.
Vain is hope in fate's dominion;
Like shuttlecock It plays,
OR bird with broken pinion
Ere it reaches higher ways.
Oh, the heart grows weary, weary.
Where no CLEAN Of gladness strays,
For The road is long and dreary
At the parting Of the ways.

BIMETALIAsM in Europe has made
great advance in the past few weeks.
Meetings Of the bimetallic assccia-
tons in England, Germany, and
France have shown not only renewed
interest in this subject, but have been
attended with expressions Of leading
officials Of England and France es-
pecialIy showing great anxiety for
some concerted action which shall
bring about an Increased use Of silver
through international action. These
were accompanied by a general ex-
preston of belief that international
action upon this subject is the only
method Of obtaining definite and sat
isfactory results.

THE Omaha Uor}d-Hraid, Mr.
Bryan's organ, in its extremity over
the agony that thirty-iiye southern
men in Congress are supporting the
protective tariff bill, charges that
they are Northern carpet baggers, and
do NOT represent Southern sentiment.
An examination Of their autobiogra-
ply in the Congressional Directory,
however, shows that this statement
is without foundation, as very large
per cent. of the 80 Southerners sup
porting the protective tariff bill are
natives of the States which they row
represent, or if not are natives Of the
South.

occupation of American homes by
American labor
The first ominous rumblings of this
war were heard at the close of 1892
when the American people so foolishly
followed the flag of Grover Cleveland
and other free-trade fanatics. During
1898 and 1894, with the approach of
the enemy of American prosperity,
our businass foundation was shaken
and thousands of business establish
ments fell into ruin. Nobody bought
goods when an industrial invasion
was imminent. That was not the
time to carry stocks, and consequently
our mills were closed and our labor
was idle, while the murmurings of
the impending attack grew louder
and louder as the time approached
for the free-traders TO break down
our wall of protection.
Since the first onslaught of the
cheap products Of cheap foreign labor
usurping the fOOthoIds That rightfully
belonged to American products made
by American labor, there has never
been one moment of industrial secu-
rity TO those of our citizens whose
interests We're conferred in the growth
and output OF American products.
The closed factories meant idle peO-
pie; idle people earned little or no
wages; sparse earnings meant narrow
purchases. Values fell both at the
farm and the factory. But the cheap
man could not buy the cheap coat. 1t
became dear at any price when the
wage Garner had not the wherewithal
to pay for it. Even bread was a luz
ury; and free bread, free soup, free
clothes became the necessary accom-
paniments of Free Trade newspapers,
a combination of evil that wrought
evil, increased crime, murder and sui
eide.
And this condition Of evil, with
greater or less degrees OF variation,
has existed until now. Sometimes d
faint glimmer CT nope enlightened the
lives Of our Iaborers while factory
wheels turned fer a few weeks. But
the people remained too poor to buy
our products as we'll rs foreign pro

VIE wilson law having proven an
absolute failure in every branch of
the service which it was intended to
fulfill, the apologists are now seeking
refuge in a statement thar it has at
least increased our markets abroad
for manufactured goods. 1t is true
that our sales for manufactured goods
abroad foot up larger total now
than they did before that law went
into effect, but it is also true that
this total measured in dollars is due
to great extent to an increased price
obtained for articles sold, rather than
an increase in the quantity for which
market was found. Illuminating
oils which brought twenty odd million
dollars Of money to American markets
in 1886 more than in 1894, did SO solely
because of the increased price Of oil,
the number Of gallons exported in
1895 being actually less than in 1882.
The same is true in many other in
stances. The Other cause of the in
crease i'll expectations is due to the
fact thatAmerican markets were filed
with foreign manufactures and that
our own markets found it necessary
to either seek a market abroad at any
price, or close their establishments.
in many cases they were obliged to
sell at a loss in order to dispose Of the
stocks on hand for which they found
no home market.

1t is not the war with Cuba, nor to
the conflict between Greece and Tur-
key, that we propose drawing atten-
ton; but to the war that is being
waged against the United States-the
industrial invasion of our markets by
foreign countries. This is a war of
eXtermination-the determination of
American industries, of American
labor and of the American standard
of wages. 1t a war of the survival of
the cheapest, of those who can live

to wear the cheapest clothes and CON

These are the names of William D.
Kelley and Samuel J. Randall. One
was Republican, the other a Demo
crat.
1T is very significant that at this
time the old Democracy has aband-
Oned the free trade doctrine and has
returned to the tutelage Of Randall,
and accepted the teachings of Kelley.
Nothing can be more evident than
that free trade is dead as an issue in
national politics. The only disputes
as to customs duties that can now
arise are as TO their detailed applica-
ton. It is no longer q difference of
principles; it has narrowed itself down
to . question of schedule. In this
battle, now nearing its end, Pennsyl-
vania has stood side by side with
New York and New England in lead
ing the nation to safe deiiverencc."
Governor, what is your view as TO
the return of prosperity:''
u have the fullest faith il the early
and satisfactory restoration Of profit
able activity in business, OF the revi-
val of work for our factories, of ample
employment for ali classes Of labor
and Of hungry markets for the prod
ucts of the farms. IN my opinion the
whole country is thrilling with the
assurance Of abundant prosperity.
Our people are all right. There is
nothing wrong with their temper,
their sanguine belief in their own
manhood and womanhood, their con
scicusness of their own power.
The impression made upon the pub
lie mind by the knowledge that the
national Treasury is no longer bank
rupt and that we are to buy the most
OF our supplies at home instead Of
from importers, while our export
trade is to be simultaneously encour-
aged, cannot fail to be enormously

MORE uNTRUTHFuL STATEMENTS

We have received an extended
communication from the Rev. S. D. Bat
ten, which he says we ''may call an
explanation, but as it is very lengthy
and explains nothing, we can find no
room for it. There are just two things
in it. The first is denial that he said
that the streets of Morristown are worse
than those of New York and Philadel-
phia, but his next sentence declares
''street walking goes on with an open
ness that have never seen on any street
in New York" That alone more than
justifies our editorial of last week.
Indeed, we go further and say that
Mr.. Batten must have been in very
few streets in New York or else he
must have been blind folded when
there.
The impression conveyed by his ILL
judged remarks is shamefully false and
is an insult to the many ladieswho on ac-
count of the quietness and responsibility
of our streets find it perfectly proper to
attend meetings and visit their friends
without an escort after dark. We may
again remark that Mr.. Batten's utter
ances have wrought injury to the good
name of Morristown, and in common
with others we have had to answer in
quiries from out of town parties as to
their truth.
The second thing in Mr.. Battens letter
is an expression of grief, that he has
looked in vain for one clear out spoken
word of condemnation. You
have not made one clear demand for
punishment upon the offenders" If
Mr.. Batten's eyes were not so full of his
own personality he might have seen that
the CHRONICLE called the attention of the
Grand Jury to the violations of the excise
law before be had said one word about it.
The CHRONICLE under its present man
agement has favored every we'll consid-
cred movement for the enforcement of
law and the moral welfare of the COM
munity. Our space is valuable and we
think that enough of it has been devoted
to movement which seems to us just
about as wise as hunting ducks with
brass band on the Troy meadows.

FIRE PARADE NOTES.

The graceful ''Kitties" is the talk of
the town among the firemen.
The Kittatinny Co. brought with them
their mascot, youthful Toby" Mccoy, a
Newton newsboy. Little Joe" Lind
sley oficiated awheel in that capacity
for the Independents.
A remarkable feature of the parade
was the presence in the line of twenty
six ex-chiefs and assistants of the various
departments, in charge of ex-Chief
Daniel S. VOORHEES, of Morristown.
The fireman's parade at Morristown
Wednesday was superb success. Many
companies were in line, especially did
the Newton Steamer Company make
boys covered themselves with glory by
everything in sight. Full particulars,
and extracts from Morristown press next
week.-Newton Herald.
Several young ladies from Sussex
county spent the day in Town Wednes-
day, coming to view the parade and the
matcSless Sussex county boys. In the
evening they were pleasantly entertained
at the Thatcher home onMaple avenue.
Among them were noted Miss Anna
Woodward, Miss Lucy johnson, Miss
Anna johnson, Miss Flora Campbell,
Miss May Campbell and Miss Kate
Howell
Several prominent fremen were pres
ent on Wednesday representing the New
ark departure Mt as guests of Chief En-
gineer Stevens, as follows: Captain
Chas. j. Hamburger, Engine Co. No. 1;
Capt VIM. E. Drake, Engine Co. No 10;
Capt. VIM. ExaIl, Truck No. 1; Secretary

Little. Oscar Denton, Jas. P. Benedict,
Isaac P. Haulenback, Capt. James O.
Brien, Truck No. 4; VIM. H. CampfieId,
Engine No. IA; Austin Davis, Chemical
Engine No. 1; James Seward, Engine
No. II; Fred Herzig, Engine No. 6.
A feature of the morning and adding
parade of its own, was the reception of
the Kittatinny Hose Company by the In
dependents. A delegation of the COM
pany consisting of Foreman Pierson, AS
sistant VanCleve, Ex-Chief Sturgis, H.
G. Emmett, H. T. Hull, Andrew G..
Phillips, H. B. Hoffman and j. Frank
Lindsey, met the special train from
Newton at $50. Headed by Vincent's
band they marched up town and
through Speedwell avenue to Early
street, where halt was made at the resi-
dence of Andrew q. Phillips, a member
of Independent Hose and former member
of the Kitties. Here the Sussex boys
found the piazza already decked with
a bevy of good looking Sussex girls.
After fine exhibition drill the boys were
invited to the house where they were re-
ceived by Mrs. Phillips and her sister,
Mrs. Lundy. Mr.. Phillips greeted the
firemen in a few we'll chosen words
and extended to them the Inequalities of
his home. Refreshments were passed
and good time enjoyed after which
march was resumed to Speedwell avenue
where the Somerville Engine Company,
having just arrived by way of the Rock
away Valley Railroad, were in waiting,
and all marched together to the Hose
house on Market street.

A very amusing program of song, recita-
ton. whistling and Iedgerdemain was
carried out closing at eleven o'clock when

atty of the Morristown Firemen.
