TIRE STATE or DEMOCRACY.

Some Democrats are cherishlng the Illusion
that they can make political capital by fercely

That Is an idea which has the encouragement
Of many editors here In the East particularly
those violently opposed to expansion and anx-

something more than indiscrlminatc abuse TO
make an effective party Of opposition and in
fact II Is when lacking any adequate and hope
full policy of its own that party becomes the
Ioudest in criticism for the mere sake Of criti-
cism II Democratic leaders only knew IT, the
Bailey policy OF managing the opposition with
the aim of putting the Administration IN hole
and spelling its plans is a confession of weak

Democrats dragged the Republicans into the
war by the scruff Of the neck and intended TO
leave them TO get out Of 1t the best way they
could, under n storm of Democratic abuse, he
showed that Democracy as at present exennpl-

point blank II he could not Join us.in q drink,
and be allowed to pay for 1t himself. but Mr..
Kelly told him that we did not know him ana
did not care for his company. From the res
taurant we Walked up Columbus avenue 10 20

eeratelE era hit me on the head Just over my eye.

ening to shoot me.
II was almost unconscious from the effects OF
the assault, but: with tho help Of my friend Kel-
ly, got to the West Tooth street police station

and this is the first time that he has been called
upon to defend himself against q complaint. He
denounced the charge preferred against him by
Patterson as false and said that 1t bad been tho
result of malice or mistaken identity. He also do
clared that he had never seen the compliments
before he was arrested and that he knew moth
woman in black"
Benton was paroled In tho custody of Sergeant
Lowell by Magistrate Pool. but he said that he
would prefer to be released on ball, as that
would entitle him to more liberty. He was
accordingly held for examination to-day in the

Thomas J. Guilty. who was appointed bicycle
policeman on Dec. 16 made his first arrest Sun
day evening. When he arraigned his prisoner
in the Yorkville Court yesterday tho latter
complained to Magistrate Cornell that the po-
liceman wanted q bribe to let him go.
Tho prisoner was Charles Livcrmore. an archi.
tect living at II West Eleventh street. He said
he was employed by the firm Of McKin. Mead
g. White.
He was arrested at Madison avenue and Sew.
enty-sccond street at 8 o'clock Sunday evening

~ know tho police get money" Livermore
answered. Instead of taking me directly to
avenue to SEQ II would give him money. and
sta tion."
The policeman explained that he crossed from
N adison avenue to Third avenue through Sixty.
eighth street by mistake and SO went half a
block out of the wav. He added that 1t was the
first time he had been to that station house. He
denied that there was anything In his manner
to indicate that he wanted money from the
prisoner.
There is not the slightest ground on which
to base the statement OF bribery" the MaRis-
trate said. II do not believe there is any black
mail going on among the bicycle policemen and
accurately whether a bicyelist is going at a
speed greater than the law allows.
He fined the prisoner 81 for scorching.

CHURCH BoOMS DANCING.
DIR. ST0DDARD's cur RATE FOR
PIOUS TWO-srEPPERa

Jersey City Dancing Masters Fear That the
eight for e1o Lessons In Church VIII
Hurt Buriness--'win ne Msre DaucinR
Than Ever.- says the new. Dr. steadard.
Since the Rev. DR.. K. L Stoddard. rector Of st.
Johns Episcopal Church in Jersey City, started
dancing class In connection with tho church
his mail has increased moro than tenfold. DR..
Stoddard says that no 10 receiving let
ters from ministers all over the country,
some condemning the project and others
approving 1t. The class will continue until
tho Lenten season begins when 1t will probably
be temporarily suspended. Many Of the minis
ters are under the impression that tho lessons
arc given in the church. This is q mistake. The
dancing school is in the gymnasium. Dr. Stod-
dard has also received letters from dancing
masters complaining that the cut rates adopted
at the church school injure their business by
taking their pupils away. In reference TO this
matter DR.. Stoddard says:
IL think that the dancing masters who have
objected to the low rates are short.sighted. Ia
stead of this dancing class at low rates being
menace to the profession it will stimulate II. It
is true that we have 100 applicants for admis
sion. and that as soon as any one of the present
sixty members has completed his or her educa-
tion and drops out. tho first one on the waiting
list will be admitted. But 1t 10 also true that
these persons would not otherwise have thought
Of dancing and would not have gone to any
dancing school,
The sanction given by the church to dancing
and the actual ENCOURAGEMENT by ministers will
give the teaching OF dancing as profession an
impetus which IL has never had BEFORE and
there will be more persons than ever who will
take dancing lessons. That viii make better
masters who think that they discern In our
low.priced dancing lessons an unfair competitive
advantage"
The pupils in DIR. Stoddard's class pay 81 for
eight lessons. or 12io cents a lesson.
Miss Grace Finn, who keeps n dancing school
within ono block of st. Johns Church, said in
reference to what she considers rival school:
1T is not right. The idea of dancing In q
church. That is what 1t is. and say decidedly
II is not right. DIR. Stoddard has cut prices, and
that is no laughing matter for the rest of us.
He says his class will not fail. predict that 1t
will surely fail: Neither DR.: Stoddard nor any
one else can afford TO run odancing class at 12lo
cents lesson. His dancing master will lose
interest. He cannot be well paid. and after the
novelty has worn off and the thing ceases to be
big advertisement no. competent dancing
master will take the place."
