THE DEMOCRACY.
A FrnnL Confession of Its Forlors
and Helpless Condition by
Party puueP.

Let us face the facts. let us no longer
deceive ourselves. The democra &C.
party to-day is without character and
standing in the nation. II has lost the
confidence. If not the respect of the
great body OF intelligent. thoughtful
men of this country. What does the
party stand for? What are It's princi-
pies? What man is there in this party
to-day who can stand up with any sort
OF confidence and declare them? Does
democracy stand Tor inn erialism or eN-
pansion? Bryan answers one way and
Jones the other Does IL stand for free
silver or the single gold standard?
Bryan and Jones answer one way;
Croker and distinguish he ! member OF
the national democratic committee an
swer another. Docs tn" party stand for
tariff reform or protection? Nobody
knows. for the Chicago platform de-
clared that that question was retired
until the meney question should have
been settled.
Where are tie party leaders? Where
are the great men of the past who could
upon any occasion. at any time OF -he
day or night. If called upon. stand up
and with accuracy and confidence pro-
claim democratic doctrines? There are
no leaders. there il no man or set OF men
who are recognized to-day as the
mouthpicces of the party. There was
so-called leader of the minority forces
in the house OF representatives. He
raised a constitutional question and
called upon the democrats in the house
to stand by him in the position that lie
assumed. but when the test came more
than 40 members of his party voted
against him, and he then and there re
signed.
Mas for the party of Thomas Jeifer-
son, Surely it has fallen upon evil
times. 1t is paying the penalty of the
folly of 1896. Every prediction that We
made when ii then went astray has been
fulfilled, or is about to he fulfilled. IL
must reorganize upon true democratic
platform or 20 to pieces. Gentlemen
may mock at this. as they Knocked at il
in 1896, but il is the truth. Those who
then forsook the old ship must come
back 10 the little band of democrats
who remained and kept the eolorr fly
ing, or be wrecked. Richmond (Na)

Facts Which Give the Lie tn the As
scrtiouS Of the Cheap Money

Mr.. Bryan, whose knowledge of cur
rency matters is in inverse ratio to the
quantity Of his talk. about them. said
in New York that the republican party
has been burying the gold question"
As usual, MIR. Bryan was mistaken.
The republican party has been burying
several other things. including Bryan
tie assertions that high-priced wheat
and silver were incontrovcrtible terms,
and that republican success in 1896
meant continued commercial and ia
dustrial distress. Mr.. Bryan never did
shine * 4 prophet.
The gold question has never been
buried, for the reason that the people of
the country took the republican party
ut its word when it promised TO make
and keep the currency of the United
states las good as gold" That is wba;
the republicans have done and are do
ing. A paper dollar with the gold 10
back ii * valued so highly that the peo-
pie prefer the paper and leave the gold
in the treasury and bank vaults. The
endless chain has gone into innocuous

That is simply the effect of putting in

that it would uphold sound money

TO BE FORMNLLY RATIFIED
President Expected TO Issue peace
Proclamation This Week.

! Washington, April S.-An exchange
of the ratifcations OF the treaty OF
peaca between Spain and the United
States signed at Paris, will probably
take place in this city next week and
that ceremony will be followed by
proclamation by President Mckinley
officially closing the war with Spain
and the resumption Of friendly rela-
tions, commercial and otherwise, be-
tween the two countries
The Spanish copy of the Paris treaty.
signed by the queen, is on it's way to
Washington. 1t is addressed TO NJ
CambOn, the French minister here,
and will be presented by him to the
president. NJ. Cambon, as the repre-
sentative of Spain, will receive a copy
of the treaty signed by the president
and approved by the senate and will
forward it to Madrid. AS soon as the
formalities of exchange have been
completed the president will issue the
peace proclamation
This viii be given to the representa-
tives Of foreign nations and will be
cabled to Manila and to Cuba and
Porto Rico. The principal effect of
this proclamation will be to end the
enlistment term of most of the volun-
teers. Allowing reasonable time for
mastering out and transportation here,
the men will be entitled to quit the
service
General Otis reports that the volun-
teers in the Philippines do not care to
take advantage of their technical
rights, but want to stay in the service
as long as there is any fighting to be
done. The president intends, however.
that they shall be g-adualIy replaced
by the regulars, who are now in readi-
ness to be sent. Before the end of this
month 10000 regulars will depart from
