HIGH LIGHTS.

We all have energy to do the things
we want to do.
Moonlight nights are too bright for
burglars and for lovers.
On summer resort piazza the early
girl gets the hammock.
A suspicious nature suspects other
people of being suspicious.
Half the misery in this world comes
from our having too little courage or
too much.
Some women live on excitement and
some live on getting up excitement for
others.
The pessimist likes torrid weather
because he knows that optimists are
getting their share.
AS man grows older he gets just
as contradictory and obstinate as he
was when he was young.

Croker's grip upon Tammany seems to
be loosening. In a straight light between
his friends and Sheshsn's In the Ninth
Assembly district. the lstter's won by
clear majority. While this victory in it :
self is of little importance, it may prove
the opening wedge of serious revolt
against the boss. Croker has not bean
popular with many Tammany members
for "a long time on account of his noggish-
ness. and the abseot obedience he requires
from them, bit his power was believed
TO be SO firmly established and so auto
cratic that few dared to revolt. This
demonstration IN the Ninth district that
ha Is not inyineloie, will no doubt give
his secret enemies much courage and
perhaps lead &c open revolt. Sheehan is
no better than Croker, and machine
run by him would probably be as dicta-
torlal and corrupt as Croker's, but any
thing which tends to split up Tammany
Is a gain 10 the cause of decency and
good government. Eventually the fac
tions may coalesce and recover their con-
troll. but for g time at least while the
row Is on, there Is q fair prospect that
honest politics may have a chance.

Every glimpse the public gets Of the
Democratic party goes to show that ID Is
still under the control of the men who
fashioned the Chicago platform, with
its declaration in favor Of dishonest
money and its undisguised sympathy
with anarchy and mob violence. Hardly
q single one Of its old-time leaders has
now anything to do with it's guidance.
They have either Voluntarily with
drawH ON account of their disgust at
the AFFECT surrender Of the party to popu-
Iistic doctrines, or have been forced to re-
tire. The crucial test of Democracy today
Is belief i'm doctrines which nine-tenths
OF the ablest leaders of the party ten years
ago looked upon as hsresies of the worst
description. First and foremost, the
Democrat of today, ifhe would be in
good standing with the powers In COR
tPol, must subscribe to this free coinage
OF silver az Is to /. At the present price
Of silver that means rank dishonesty,
nut it Ia the first and highest test of De-
nocracy. and no one need apply for ad-
mission who cannot stand 1t. Altgeld d.
elares that all Democrats who win
not subscribe to this doctrine are
untrue to the most fundamental Of Demo-
cratic beliefs and that their place is with
come other party. Bryan echoes the same
sentiment. Every Democratic convention
40 far held has reaffirmed the Chicago
platform, and some of them, notably that
In Ohio. has laid especial stress upon
the plank In 1t which declares for free
csinage and its eonsequent dishonest dol
lar. So long a. the Democratic party
sticks to this platform and especially to
this plank. it makes little difference
what else IL does. So long as 10 stands,
