Beer is apparently the Germans first
thought whenever anything happens
No sooner was 1t known that Bismarck
was dead than the students of the Ber-
liz university sent out summons to
a beer feast of mourning in his honor.
The 'Trauer commers" was held in
the hall of large brewery, decorated
with the banners and colors of the
student corps. The rector and many
of the professors of the university
were present, while the galleries were
filled with ladies. The proceeding be-
gan with the playing of funeral
march and the singing of chorus,
"What God Hath Done Is Well Done"
followed by "Gaudeamus igitur," and
an address on Bismarck. The presid-
ing student then gave the word for the
''Trauer Salamander," after which
there were more songs-Philadelphia

THE NEW PUNIo FAITH.

Those critics of Mr.. Mckinley who are
only finding fault with him and his ad-
minlstratlon at this late day because the
civil service pledges in the republican
platform of 1896 have been violated by
the presidents recent order. are-strain-
ing at the gnat and swallowing the
camel!
The whole record OF the administration
has been one OF recreancy to party prom
ises. No president ever went into office
pledged by his party platform to do more,
OF has in fact ever done less, The most
cursory review of the record of perform
9nce compared with the amplitude OF
promise will quickly demonstrate the
failure OF the first two years of the pres
emit administration.
Let us glance at the planks of the ST.
Louis platform. There was first the
declaration that the tariff would be read
justed so as to AFFORD ample revenues for
the Nation and relieve the embarrassment
OF the treasury. AS a matter of fact the
Dingley bill has caused, outside OF the
war. the largest deficits the country has
pealing the reciprocity treaties was de-
nounced, but no to this good day no re-
instatement of those treaties has been
seriously attempted. To catch the sugar
men in Louisiana great promises OF pro-
lection Of the home sugar interests were
made. These promises have been kept by
annexing Hawaii and the Philippines and
laying the foundations for running our

the injury that democratic policies had

HOUSTON. MONDAY, MAY .. 1879.
THE wArrERsoNIAN VIEW.

1t seems that the element of the old
democratic party that went over to re-
puhlicanism in 1896 on the ground of
strong devotion to principle" are still in
capable Of appreciating the courage of
conviction in Mr.. Bryan and the great
bulk of the democracy that refuse to sur
render their views to expodienoy.
The Courier-Journal which is popularity
supposed to voice the opinions OF Col
Henry Watterson, one of the most dis
tirguished Of the boilers from the demo
cratic party in 1896. rad this to say
recently
# Mr. Bryan had been leader aud a
thinker he would first of all have made his
peace with the minority OF his party that pro-
cured his defeat, lie would have realized that
the difference might not be irreconciabe.
t'af rhr7c men had no permanent place iu the
republican party; that, being prescribed tn

out and hive said TO them, Come, now, let

Then, when he war with Spain arrived upon
the scene, he would have hurried to the front,
and willy-nily have stayed there--a la
Roosevelt-a le Funston-and be there now,
no. to come home until summoned--the brave
soldier-the popular heroic call the admin
istration TO account and to take the whole

This is a very disreputable philosophy.

and bowed also to the dictation OF certain
political influences OF the Wattersonian
stripe and had such parers as the Courier

The very TACT. however that he refused

SO long as 50 resourceful genius as

inss Of the administration In the way of
redemption of ELECTION pledges The
promise to reform the currency has not
been kept, nor will It be. The pledge TO
restore the American merchant marine Is
to be kept by robbng the treasury to
grant large subsidies to a few big COM
panies in which leading advisers OF the
administration are financially interested!
The high sounding plank as to Cuba was
a dead letter until the democrats forced
the president to act. But the war for
humanity's sake was soon changed into
war OF conquest and was seized upon to
increase the army OF the country and en-
bark upon a policy OF imperialism! And
now the latest. but not the least. OF these
sins OF commission and omission Is the
open violation of the platform pledge TO
uphold and enlarge civil service reform!
This recent surrender to the spoilsmen
Is bad enough in all conscience, but It
will be seen 1t is but one OF many fragrant
departures from the party faith as the
latter was formally promulgated at st.
Louis in 1895. In fact. not a party prom
lse has been redeemed during the two
years of the Mckinley regime that have
already elapsed The whole shameful rec
ord has been one OF spoils- hunting, IA
vorltism toward special interests, weak
opportunism and utter indifference toward
the demands or the welfare of the masses!
