DECORATION DAY ADDRESSES.

ED Y all odds the most notable Decoration day ER addresses Of the celebration this year were tD those delivered at Arlington cemetery near Washington City: It is not often the capital holds this preteminence among the cities of the # Union. Though she has all Congress to cali upon for orators, 1t is rarely that she obtains whose words con 1nand the attention ofhe nation. As rule the chief place in. Decoration day reports is given to some orator other than those who spoke in sight of the dome Of the capital and with the inspiration of all the memories of the place around him. <. :: .@. :, This year, however, fortune was with Washington, notwithstanding the fact that neither of the orators who pronounced the orasons at Arlington is of the first rank of eloquence, Senator Thurston, indeed who spoke for the heroes of the army has made sev- eral notable speeches his time but Secretary Herbert, who spoke for the heroic dead of the navy has hardly been accounted an orator at all having been noted in Congress for digent committee work rather than for eoquence the floor Yet these two men, one of the North and one of the South have this year had the honor of speaking for the nation and having the whole people for an audience.
 As was to have. been expected, the theme of each was the evidences now seen on all sides of the com pete restoration of the union of hearts as well as of States Every new manifestation of this evidence is another garland added to the wreath of glory that surrounds the Grand Army and the galaxy of states men who preserved the Union from the peril of civil war and freed it from the dangerous blight of slavery
 It Is significant that this theme Herbert of Ala bama himself soldier in the ranks of secession, spoke clearly and as patriotcay as Thurston who represented the dominant and unchanged loyalty of the North The voices were two, but the sentiment one; that of honor and praise for the heroic dead who gave their lives that the nation might live A war for humanity and liberty now holds the attention and engages the energy of North and South alike new generation representing united people goes forth to uphold the for which the brave men of the Grand Army fought through the long years of the Civil War. Well did Senator Thurston say: "Rest in peace, o mighty dead. The cause for which you fought never be assaed Rest in peace 1.-the race whose freedom you achieved will bless you with their latest breath Rest in peace-the Union you preserved remains forever and liberty, equal rights and justice the heritage of your descendants to the Judgment Day. God bless the men who fol- lowed the flag

THE ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.

If the United States Is to refuse to take part in the international exposition simply because some French newspapers print mean things about it, this Government billboard to bear the legend: we have taken our playthings and gone home. = Chicago News.
 Once let the existence of an elevated na- tional spirit In France which would side with this country as against Spain be seriously doubted and 1t would soon as sert itself in terms that could not be mis- taken. In fact its assertion has already been strikingly manifest within the past few days-Boston Globe.
 It is not what these newspapers may say, but what the Government and the people of France shall do, that will be accepted here as conclusive evidence of the spirit and temper of Spain's nearest neighbor to the northward in the war which has been forced upon us. If. for example. the French island of Miquelon should be turned practically into a coal- ing station and rendezvous for Spanish fleet bound on mission of destruction to our Atlantic coast the event would be ac- cepted as a clear-cut demonstration of hostility on the part of the French Gov eernment. Then, surely, the boycotting. of French wares in the American market might readily assume the aspect of a pa, triotic duty. which not even the most in- veterate admirer of Partisan finery. would neglect UT EeCOTu.
 The probable truth Is that the frugal Frenchman has, to use the expressive street argot, taken a tumble" He has heard something drop over on this side of the Atlantic, and has come to realize that he has been acting and talking like an egregious ass; that he has been trying to kill the best golden-egg-layi goose on earth-the genuine American prodigal money spender.. The French people have as trong an affection for the almighty dollar as the proverbial Yankee, and are as apt in depicting the pockets of thelr guests and visitors as the most thirty landlord of an Atlantic watering place Their best customers have been from thlS side the Atlantic, in fact from the United States and Russia their. special pronts have for generations been derived.-Seat- tie Times.
 What would become Of the Paris millin- CTS if the Yankee milionaires had their wives patronize home industry. instead of sending their orders abroad? What would become of the Paris hotels of the first class if Americans ceased to visit the city? And, worst of all, what would be- come of the Fair of 1900 If American pro- auctions and the American public were conspicuous by their absence? The thought was sobering one It is all very well 70 give way to your true feelings, but

DEMOCRACY. AND THE WAR

- Q - ETN EMoCRATIc. papers 1T, the :: Eastern. States EI fare taking a gloomy view of the prospects of E - thelr party n the coming campaign. They de clare the will have the effect of strengthening the hold of the administration upon the people, increas
 ring the Republican ranks by the addition Of all inde- lpendent voters and that Democracy and Populism cembned will appear in many parts of the country as hardly more than faction of opposition, Y. E This despondency in Eastern Democratic ranks is due almost wholly to the action taken by the Demo- crats in Congress in opposing the war bill
 Prior to that opposition the war was as much Dem- -ocratic as Republican measure It was urged by Democratic leaders vigorously as by those of the Republican, party and the vote of $5oooopoo for de fense was unanimous There was no suggestion of party lines the issue. The conflict with Spain was apopular as well as national war No one expected that if would ever have any partisan coloring what ever It was believed thaal parties and all candidates would go before the people in the coming campaign on equal terms so far as the spirit concerned and that the patriotism of the people would not be called upon to determine political contest in any section of the Unron. >.:, ==..= <:
 : There has been. change in the situation and the
 blame. for it rests upon the silver fanatics of Con
 gress The great of Democratic voters un- doubtedly as loyal and patriotic as their Repub-
 can neighbors, but they cannot escape responsr- bity for the action of their representatives. The Democratic platform on which the party will have 10 conduct its hghtis being made up at Washington and is taking the form of#opposon to war revenues He that opposes raising money for derayng the cost of the war might as well oppose the waritself. It is for that conservative Democrats in the East are becoming disgisted with their Congressional leaders and Respondent of the future of their party
 We have here another illustration of the fact that evil once admitted to any organization can never be quickly eradicated Bad seed brings forth bad fruit The war, by raising new prospects before the Amer- can people, gave the Democrats a hope that they would be able to get rid of Bryanisfr and go forward to a new departure. These hopes have been disap- pointed' The Bryantes in office and they have acted in way that baffes the hopes of the better element of Democracy. They have placed the party
 in an attitude of opposition to the administration on great measure growing out of the war; and protests from individual Democrats here and there count for nothing :-:. e: @ =:*.
 Under these eircumstances the condtict of the war necessarily becomes something of partisan measure The independent voters of the country certainly ca- not follow Democracy in opposing the war revenue bill Principles of patriotism as well as the policy of sound finance will incline men to stand with the party of the administration during the coming cam paign- Democracy has committed the usual blum der in time Of crisis and must pay the penalty on election day. -: :*: ::

it is necessary to consider the question whether you can afford to do so or not. Wise persons consider on what side. their bread is buttered and act accordingly; So some of the Paris journals have raised their voices in warning. They have told their readers that they must not say everything that they think, but rather conceal their true feelings. The Ameri- can dollars, and plenty of them, are still desirable. We don't set much store on the civilfty of the waiter whose mind Is fixed on the subsequent tip.-New York Evening Sun

THE COMING WATcHWoRD.

TIf E other day friend and late supporter of the
 new charter outlined the hopes of the advocates of the instrument by saying, The people will have as good chance to capture the Mayor as the bosses and 1t is certain that we will get him occa- sonally. .-* s..:. : :..*::: !. If this represents the average opinion of those who have fastened a Czar Mayor upon: this city, we free to say that fails entirely to- meet the issue During the campaign we were repeatedly told that the people were sure to get the Mayor all the time hat the theory upon which the adoption of the charter was urged, and that was the idea which ev= denty influenced the Judgments of large numbers of those who voted for its adoption < * . But if the people, as the gentleman quoted now says, are going to get the Mayor only occasionally this town is up tall tree at the very outset Indeed it will never do to propagate this kind of talk If the bosses are ever permitted 10 capture the Czar they will so thoroughly entrench themselves as to render their subsequent disodgrent practically i'm possible The Mayor appoints and removes at pleas ure boards and commissions which in turn appoint and remove S3 per cent of the tax eaters who will exploit the city treasury under the new: charter. This makes him the absolute dictator Of the patron age, Through the Civil Service Commission which he also appoints and removes at pleasure, he will in luenee, fl not control the patronage of the elected
 
 sion he will control the Saloon vote. . Through the Board of Public Works he will influence the property owning interest, and through all these boards and commissions he will some extent mold the political opinion of the city. The grand ar1ry of outs who help to change the government every two years are disposed of by the civil service rules. *' .:::: @ There are in the government outlined between 10000 and 25ooo votes. If the boss who is destined to Occasionally capture the Car Mayor possess the genius to organize and solidy these votes he will present formidable obstacle to reform Itlogically follows that if such man once gets control of them 1t will be extremely difficult to unhorse him He will oppose all charter amendments designed to curtail his power and defeat the cohorts of reform" every time he meets them at the ballot boxes
 It will never do to talk about letting the bosses Occasionally" capture the Mayor; the Merchants Association, Mayor Phelan, Deacon Fitch, Reformer Brtton and the others who have fastened this po- tentate upon must to it that he is kept out of their clutches. These gentlemen have an impor- tant duty to fulfill during the remainder of their lives, and when they die they must pledge their sons as the father of Hannibal and Hasdruba pledged them to fight forever in the cause they leave behind In this way only the liberties Of the town be pre- served All talk of Occasionally" winning must be abandoned. The watchword must be always Give us an honest, independent Mayor or give us oblivion I Any compro1nise dn this sentiment will be fatal

Q O O O O O O O { HER APPEAL. (
 WAS { IRRESISTIBLE. (

timore Gladman, Is possessed of a sweet heart, Lucinda Johnson by name, with whom lie is desperately in lore. an'>. l. a natural consequence, insanely jealous. As he expressed himself to confidential friend, "I lubs dat gal, I does shuah, and she lubs me, and I don want no cullud man to trespass on our affections, because dere II be razzer. seance If he dug, now you heah me. I perpose to marry dat gal just as soon as I have saved up $S and six bits.'
 Now Lucinda, like the majority of the members of her sex, is given to a little harmless irritation now and then, just to while away the idle hours when Balti- more Is occupied in his menal occupation of juggling with the dishes, and on one night when she thought that her intended was thus occupied she went out to the park for stroll with another colored gentleman. Baltimore was given an un- expected leave of absence for that night and he, too, wandered amid the fragrant breezes of Golden Gate Park, and al length came full upon the couple, who at that. time were seated on one of the benches in earnest conversation. Lu. cinda's companion was the first to- ob. serve Baltimore'S arrival on the scene and without more ado he fled from the place, having heard. of the latter's hos tile threatenings.
 Baltimore now turned his attention tc his adored one, and said: Lucinda, yor is false to me- The unabashed Eucinda replied: How so. Balti?n .'How so,' responded the indignant lover, "why watcher yer doin' out here in company with anudder nigger?" "Dere was nc udder nigger,'' said Lucinda, ''yoh mind must be wandering or else you is color blind" The now thoroughly exasperated Baltimore, amazed at the coolness of his loved one, said Why, Lucinda, I saw a man wid his arm around yoh waist here wid nah own eyes" Well" said Lucinda, would you believe voh eyes
