THE DRUMMERS' OWN.

The strength of the Van Wyck boom daily
grows less. but it's proprietors have the consola-
ton of knowing that it grows beautifully less.
As n spectacle the boom and the boomers are
worth going miles to see II may not be high
ly pleasant for Judge Van Wyck to find him
self suddenly cast down from the pedestal OF
Tammany worship but he Is assured by Mr..
Willett of Alabama that the drummers OF
America are solidly for him. and that in spite
of Mr. Croker swinging New-York for Bryan
the drlimmers will still be true. What more can
ANYBODY wish? The only trouble Is about get
ting these drummers to accomplish anything.
Mr.. Willett gives assurance that they are the
chief means Of disseminating political truth
through the rural districts, but they dare not
carry on the propaganda openly for fear or IN
juring their business, "for Just now in the rural
districts Bryan Is very strong, and many coun-
"try merchants would not buy from n travelling
IMAM If they found he was for Van Wyck."
OF course, IL the travelling men are afraid to
proclaim the virtues of Van Wyck even to the
country store keepers, 1t Is difficult to see how
they are TO create sentiment favorable to him
among the rural population. much less swell
that sentiment into an overwhelming tide which
will compel the Bryan politicians who control
the Democratic organizations in so many States
to nominate Van Wyck. But, as the saying is
it's no matter what you do If your heart be
true, and Judge Van Wyck must rejoice to know
that thousands Of drummers 60 about the coun-
try carrying his image In their hearts, even II
they do not dare to whisper his name over the
counter for fear 1t vii! be a hooGoo to their
sales Such a consciousness is better than
home in the White House. If the question had
been presented to Henry Clay he would surely
have said he would rather have the affections
of the drumncrs than be President
Judge Van Wyck must be full Of gratitude TO
Mr. Wett. As graceful master of obsequies
he Is entitled to high rank. He pours ont con-
ISOLATION so gracefully and so tastefully that the
mourners cease to sorrow, and take unto their
souls peace in the thought of the cOmpensations
they have in afflictlon. You may break, you
may shatter the boom If you will but the love
Of the drummers will cling to it still.

Fatherland that the Marquis de GalIret

some Of the army officers have seemingly Iaiieu

Of the republic will also maintain the honor

that animates the entire Government III is the
Government of the French Republic. Inc
Alpha and the Omega of its commission are 10
see that the republic suffers no harm. 10 that
task il Is addressing itself with a physical ana
moral courage not surpassed on any page Oh
the nations history.
In one respect the Government has been Sc
verely criticised, and Is much rallied against
TODAY. That is because 1t does not call Parlla-
ment together and submit every days dongs
to the town meeting discussions Of the Cham
ber. Instead of blame, however. 1t Is In that
very respect deserving Of all praise. Inc
Chamber gave It a vote Of confidence, ana
commissioned II to do the work II Is now
doing When that work Is done 1t will be time
for the Government TO give an account OF It's
stewardship. and not until then. The Govern
nent is constituted by Parliament, and Is re-
spopsbe 10 1t, Just as Parliament Is consti-
tuted by and Is responsible to the people. Ihere
IS no more reason why the Government should
keep Parliament in session and report 10 IL
daily than there is why Parliament should
daily submit its own dolngs and Its exist
ence 10 a plebiscte of the whole electorate
Those who unfavorably crticse the Govern
ment in this matter ignore the vital principle
of representative government. They would re-
place representative government with mob rule.
In bravey assuming both the responsibility
and the authority Of acting without daily Par
liamentary supervision the French Government
is setting an admirable example of true repub-
licanism, and an example much needed In these
DAYS in other countries as well as France.

Philadelphia, April 2l.-Matthew S.
Quay was today declared by the jury to
be not guilty of the charge of conspiracy
to Use for his own unlawful gain and
profit the funds of the state deposited in
the Peoples bank of this city.
The court officers were unable to keep
back the struggling chowd that pressed
forward to congratulate Quay when the
verdict of the jury was announced. AS
soon as Quay could get away from those
anxious to shake his hand and congratu-
late him, he made his way to the elevator
to descend to the street from the sixth
floor of the municipal building.
Here the scenes in the court room were
repeated. AS the senator emerged from
the door of the building the enthusiasm
was intense A group of enthusiasts
rushed forward and attempted to hoist
him on their shoulders, but the senator
waved them back, saying:
"Oh, no; oh, no; Pm too old a man for
that"
Quay walked with his friends down
Broad street to the office of his counsel,
where he made his escape from the surging
crowd.
