PRINCIPLES NEVER CHANGE.

We mentioned In these columns several
weeks ago that a Virginia politician had
,.ssed comment on The Times that this
paper had shown great ingenuity during
the past few years I'm saying the same
thing over and over again In di1creh'
language and from a different point oil
view. We replied at the time that this
was a tribute to The Times, Of which we
were proud, as showing that The
Times had stood over by its nrinoi-
pies and had not deviated in all the va
ried changes Of the age.
We are tho moro gratifed to-day than
ever for the reason that the Rev. Dr.
w V. Tudor. Of this city, said in his
Sunday morning discourse that with all
the learning and eloquence of those VINO
preach the Gospel. preaching was at the
last simply telling the same old story
over and over again in different language
and from a different point Of view. We
do not attempt TO quote Dr. Tudors exact
language. but that was the sum and
substance Of IT,
This is necessarily the case with all
who adhere to principle. for truth and
prlnciple are tho same I'm an ages. and
we sneak with due reverence when we
say that the principles of Democracy are
as unaltorahle as the principles of Chris
tlanity. We have heard great deal in
these latter days about q new Dcmoc-
rrsl. ~.
There can Doe no new Democracy. There
may De ncw-fangled imitation OF
Democracy. but the true and genuine
Democracy OF Thomas Jefferson is un-
changed and Interchangeable In principle.
Democratic policies may change and must
change with varying conditions, but Dem
ocratic principles never.
The Christian religion has made pro
eress. and the methods that are employed
today are different I'm some respects, from
the methods that were employed I'm olden
times. There is also q difference in doc
irine as seen In the various denominations
OF the Christian church, but the great
Fundamental principles Of Christianity
cannot change. There can be no such
thing as new Christianity, and whenever
the church departs from the principles
upon which Christianity is founded. the
end Of the church will Doe near at hand.
And so "a must De with Democracy
Whenever the party cuts loose from its
moorlngs and departs from the good old
way that was mapped out by its first
pilot. it must inevitably ind wreck and
destruction in strange waters.

his nomination We say nothing OF tho
proprlcjy. under ordinary circumstances
OF Mr.. Bryans taking part IN local
contest Of this character. Those are
questions remote from the subiect under
discussion. Mr. Bryan had decided That
Il was the duty Of Kentucky Democrats
10 support GoebeL had decided that II
was his duty TO throw the weight Of his
influence Ia behalf OF the regular nomi-
nee and il was a reflection on his cOur-
aee and his integrity for the boilers TO
have attempted TO intimidate him by
making a threat against his candidacy
for the Presidency MIR. Bryan very
promptly resented the imputation and
showed himself to be a man Of courage.
FOR which his opponents as well as his
friends will honor him.
The Kentucky boilers have made
bundcr. They have professed admira-
ton for Mr. Bryan and have proclaimed
themselves 10 be loyal to his candidacy
Yet they said 20 him that unless he
should show himself to be a political
trimmer and a poltroon. they would at
tempt 20 knife him. In so doing they
have made a sorry spectacle Of them
selves ana have given Mr.. Bryan the
opportunity TO show the stun Of which
ne is made. The incident IS a distinct
loss Tor the boilers and a distinct gain
for Mr.. Bryan.

Things Tint Other Peonlc DO.

The man who does his best TO make the
world d better place
Whose heart is pure, who dares to look
his neighb0r in the face,
Is not the one VINO takes delight In hold
ing UP to view
And soothing at the foolish things that
other people do.
The man who gains tho noble height
where fame and honor wait
Wins no delight from petty spite he gives
no heed 90 hate

tant summit who
Gives up his time % smudging things
that other people do.

away from sin.
L like the man who seeks 10 rise. but does

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark I'm discussing
the political situation in Kentucky says.
"The truth Of the matter IS that 1T is
the election law with which Mr.. Goebels
name is identified that inspires so much
hostility 20 his candidacy II is generally
understood that the law IN question Is
one of the worst In the Union. and men
I'm favor of fair elections, whether they
are Democrats or Republicans or Popu-
lists. are absolutely opposed 10 H. The
situation in Kentucky simply furnishes
one more evidence OF the fact that all
the party lashes In the world VIII not
make sincere men indorse what they
think dangerous and wrong"
This is so nearly in lire with the views
we have previously expressed that no
comment from us is necessary. our con-
temporary proclaims a truth which politl-
cal students may study to their profit.
The Philadelphia Times notes I'm its edi-
torial columns the fact that Governor
Gambler. Of Georgia. recently prevented
a Iynching by going in person to the
scene and calling out the militia. And by
way Of comment 10 says:
while IN adopting this practical
method Of preventing a lynching Gov
ornor Gambler did no more than his
sworn duty. his course presented such
striking contrast 10 the official apathy
prevalent in the South in the matter Of
protecting prisoners from mob fury that
it deserves especial and unqualified COM
mcndauOn."
II our Philadelphia contemporary will
take the trouble to search the Virginia
records. IL will find that Governor O'Fcr-
rail- was quite as active and diiigent,
when he occupied the gubernatorial chair.

believe. too, that Governor Tyler will pur-
sue the same course. and that whenever

he said that he would not in any way at
tempt to make the Democratic platform
too heavy with a 16 to declaration. and

the ratio at all.
We do not accept this statement as a
victory for conservatism. for Mr.. Alt
geld belongs to the radical wing Of the
party. To abandon this ratio Of l6 TO /
were to abandon the whole free silver
fight. to abandon the policy which the
Democratic party adopted in Chicago In
1896. and we do not believe that Mr.. Alt
geld is in favor OF taking a back step.
lie says that the main fight should be
made against trusts, and 10 IS not long
ago that he expressed himself as being
IN favor Of government control Of trusts.
We fear Mr.. Altgeld bearing lifts" We
cannot expect the Democratic party 10
return 10 its old-tine principles under
the leadership Of Altgeld and men like
him Editor Stewart. of the louisville
Dispatch. says that Mr.. Aitgeld IS the
leader OF the "progresslves," and that the
"progressives" are Ia favor Of going
