Padre Sebastiano was more surprised

that had accepted an invitation to re-

DESPONDENT DEMOCRATS.
Encouraging for the De-
mocrncy.

Never before were the leading spir-
its OF a great party on the eve OF a ma
tional canvass so respondent as many
Of those in the democracy are at this
moment. The Charleston News and
Courier in referring 10 "A foolish. pre-
diction OF n South Carolina congress
man that the democrats would carry
the country "in the near future, asks:
as there ground for any such hope"
and anSwers in the negative. That pa
per declares that lit is melancholy and
mortifying to reflect" that the party
which elected Cleveland in 1892 has
lost all reasonable hope Of regaining
power during the present generation"
True, the Charleston paper belongs
TO the Cleveland element OF the democ-
racy, and is angry at the Reputation of
that leader by the larger faction of the
party. IL has a reasonable assurance,
however, that the section of the de-
mocracy which seized the machinery
OF the party in 1896 is likely TO remain
in the ascendant in the party for many
years TO come, and that consequently
the democracy is tolerably sure TO stay
IN the minority in the country at
large through that time at least. It's
forecast. therefore, represents the
Judgment OF n large number OF the
clearest headed men in the democratic
party to-day.
Conditions. OF course, something's
change quickly in politics, But there
Is no possibility Of any charge In tie
next year and n half such as would give
the democrats n fair prospect Of car
rying the country at thai time. Any
alteration i'm the situation which would
give the democrats a chance 10 win in
1000 would be political miracle, and
miracles are not wrought In these days
for the benefit Of the democratic party.
The democracy Is on the discredited
side on silver. II Is on the wrong side
on national expansion. Hundreds OF
thousands OF them, perhaps millions,
will oppose IL on It's isolation policy.
From the present indications the demo-
cratic standard bearer OF 1900 VIII be
beaten harder than any other candi-
date Of great party since Seymour or
Greeley.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
ryOnc fact sticks out prominently
from any fair review OF the work OF
the Fifty-ffth congress, and that IL
the record OF the republican party rela-
tive 20 all measures affecting vital
American interests. With that record.
and the record made individually by
President Mckinley, the republican
party can go before the people in 1900
with clear conscience and the con-
seriousness Of having worked well and
faithfully for the promotion OF the ma
tional welfare and the maintenance OF
the national honor.-Albany Journal.

penditures OF the late congress, but
they arc not mentioning the fact that,
deducting the war expenses. the APP
preparations OF the Fifty-fifth con-
gross are not materially larger than
those OF its four predecessors. The
democratic press has peculiar faculty
Of only seeing just enough 10 start

THE LIFE WORK OF MONSIEUR
DE PARIS.
He has Just Retired at the Age of &c
After 3S Years as Public Executioner
of France.

NJ. Louis Stanislas Deibler, public
eXecutioner in France for thirty eight
years, retired a few days ago after he
Jack the Ripper" at Bourg en- Bresse.
Deibler got salary of $1,000 year,
but in addition was granted an annual
allowance of $4,000 to keep the guillo
tine in order Besides, his travelling eX-
penses were paid, which, taking one
year, with another, cost the treasury
$l25 altogether. Each execution cost
the state about $4,000.
How many heads Monsieur de Paris
cut off even he himself professed not to
know, but he claimed a longer list than
his predecessor, Roach, who was cred
tied with 173. Deibler began his career
as local eXecutioner in Brittany, and
when that office was abolished he went
to Paris as assistant to Roach, whom
he succeeded. His wife is a daughter
of his predecessor as public eXecutioner
in Brittany, and he himself will be re-
placed by his son, so the taste for his
sinister occupation seems to be hered-
itary.
1t is the intention of NJ. Deibler who
is now 76 years old, to devote the rest
of his life to his two hobbies-poultry
keeping and joinery. Monsieur
de Paris is the most thoroughly dislik-
ed man in Paris. He is in danger of
being mobbed wherever he goes. for,
owing to a limp and a peculiar per-
sonality, his attempts to conceal his
identity are never success sful and Meth b
err good nor bad society will tolerate
him when it finds him out.

age she became the wife Of B,rOn de
