A PARTY CRISIS.

II is given out in Washington that the
policy outlined by the National Demo-
cratic party is to be in opposition to ter
ritorial expansion. opposition TO the an
neNation Of the islands of the sea, oppo-
sition to what has been called, for lack
perhaps Of a better term. imperialism
Happy thought this. and happy the
Democratic party II It shall formulate a
platform with that great principle as a
nucleus, abandoning its free silver ana
Populistic heresies generally and return
ing to the good Old Democratic doctrine
Of attending TO our own affairs and keep
ing ourselves safe from all foreign entan-
clements.
The Democratic party has come 20
the turning Of the road. and its future
success depends upon the direction that
its leaders shall take. If the party's
affairs are to be directed by the extreme
free silver men who ignore all principles
and policies of the PARTY and make free
silver the test, inviting the cooperation
of all persons of whatever party who be-
lieve in free silver. while turning the cold
shoulder upon all Democrats who do not,
the party S doom is already sealed.
1t tried that plan in 1896 and failed ana
that was the best chance that the party
will ever have to win on such an issue
The question which the party Will now
have to decide is whether 1t Will be
party within itself. resting upon its own
well known principles. or discredit those
principles and be content 10 form part
of horde OF all sorts and conditions OF
politicians-with free silver as the one
and only aim.
We do not believe that in another cam
paign like that of 1896 the party can count
on the support of its conservative mem
bers who did not and who do not believe
in free silver and Populism and fusion
and to pursue that course is to drive those
men away. Fusion will not win, and
Democrats Will be- wise If they will learn
something from the recent 3ection in
oregon.

with Colonel Ordonez. was defending the

has since died. Colonel Ordonezs inju-

MUNICIPAL FRANCHISES.

The City Council OF Baltimore has
adopted an ordinance providing for the
appointment OF an electrical commits
sion. "and empowering the commission
TO construct general system Of conduits
under the streets, lanes and alleys of the
city, and to empower the commission to
require all telegraph, telephone and cleo

These conduts are TO be the property
Of the city, and the telegraph, telephone
and electric light companies are TO pay
the city a certain rental, to be determined
hereafter. for the privilege for occupying
them with their wires.
In other words, the Council OF the city
of Baltimore has come TO the conclusion
that the streets Of the city are valuable,
and that the privilege of occupying such
streets for the purposes aforesaid should
be paid for.
There is no doubt about this. II the

ITO live Is nobler than 10 die"

II IS not laud Of gun and pike,
1t is not zest for battleaxe,
That makes all virile men dislike
This cry-this caitin cant of Pax.
WHY should the race be 70 the slow?
Wherefore the weak enjoy the prize!
Fools upon brother fools bestow
The laurels wrested from the wise?
To hear the nrlk-velned patriot pipe
one would believe a world OF vice,
OF hatred. lust and greed were ripe
To merge it Into Paradise.
War is of Hfe-exstence War;
without It we should warp and rust,
And. as the other earth worms are,
Grope daily DULY in the dust.
God. Life and Inspiration tell
That war is Physic for the soul;
Enduring Peace should prove a hell;
That War alone can make us whole.
Through War are Peace's triumphs won;
OF what consists the rudy Hood
Which bears the ships of progress on
If 1t be no. OF human bloou' .--,-
strl It IS true, who stands aside
with babbling lip and cringing hanas
Must hold him ready 20 divide
with better men his goods and lands.
Let them preach peace--this pulling Sect
our ancient creed is current still'
And iron shard, by mercy checked
Incarnate wrong TO cure must XIII.
A day may come when Peace shall be
When blood shall cease TO surge ana
mar;
Yet take the truth fling to thee;
To-day what liveth lives by war.
