If anyone has a doubt as to the Rind of

result Of democratic ascendanca infthis
state, the following from the Chicago
Journal-which takes a fall out of both
sides to the controversy, and from
the innocent onlookers as well-ought TO
dispel that doubt. The Journal says;

hurrah. and not a few prominent news
papers have deplored the admirals polit-
ical ambition, there is no room to doubt
that powerful influences are behind 1t.
IT. is understood hat very shortly the
admiral will announce his platform of
ocrats who would choose him for their
standard bearer. The feverish anxiety
manifested in some quarters to get
an expression of his views, betrays
the fear with which his candidacy is re-
garded by those who profess to believe
in the invincibility of Bryan.
When Dewey begins his tour of inspec-
tion-furnishing in his w personality
the matter to be inspected-he will en-
counter the omniverous and omnipres-
ent interviewer. and in the course of a
the human race, through the olumns of
the press. as has the gazelle-like Bryan
in his tleet-footed pilgrimages from one
dollar-dinner stand to another. Just
what effect Dewey's swing around the
circle will have on the results at Kansas
City remains to be seen. 1t will either
arouse an enthusiasm that will auger no
good to the boy orator of the Platte, or
it will meet with a chill so discouraging
to the admiral as to dissuade him from
any further attempts to inject his per-
sonality into the presidential campaign.
Dewey's candidacy, as it is now shap-
ing its lines. gives evidence of being in
the interests of the gold wing of the DEM
%ocratic party. An editorial in the New
York Times, published elsewhere on this
page. shows that he will not stand on
the democratic platform of 1896. He will
pose rather as the old type of Jeffer-
sonianism, whose first principle is to get
there if possible and then divide up the
spoils. 1t is clear that the forces behind
Dewey are going to plead harmony n
success, instead of inviting a renewal of
the disasters OF 1896 through the renomi-
nation of Bryan. Thousands of demo-
Gratis. with a %nut-brown taste in their
mouths, are liable to turn from Bryan to
Dewey at the last moment, in the belief
thai there is more pie in his political
bakery than in that of the discredited
hero of 1896.

Br a DIRECT yo7s.

The action Of the house of representa-
tives on the resolution in favor of elect
ing United states senat ors by a direct
vote of the people has not inspired equal
enthusiasm in the senate. There has
long been an undercurrent of more or
this type, but it was not until the Clark
case attracted universal attention to the
possibilities Of the present method
that the subject acquired sufficient mo-
mentum to force it's way into the con-
sideration of congress-.
1t is somewhat singular, under the cir
spicuous opponents to the proposed
change are Chandler and Hoar, who are
likewise the most prominent members
of the committee On privileges and cleo
tions,-and upon whom the Clark case
seems to rave made the most indelible
impression. Mr.. Hoar is strongly OPP
posed to the idea that senators should
be elected by direct vote of the people.
He belongs to the old school and is
afraid to trust the masses of the people
with such a sacred responsibility as the
selection of United States senator's!
Notwithstanding his belief that legis-
lative assemblies can be corrupted by
wealthy men, he is too conservative to
approve of an innovation which might
correct that evil. Perhaps he is of the
opinion that state conventions could be
just as easily controlled as legislative
assemblies, and that moneyed men al
most invariably would become the nomi-
nees were senators elected by a direct
vote of the people. Notwithstanding the
opposition in the senate which the pro-
posed change has developed, the outlook
Is very encouraging.
Years ago when the greenback party,
and later the %populists, advocated the
election of senators by the people, the
idea was hooted at as the impractical
proposition of cranks. ut political con-
ditions have steadily pointed toward that
end, and within two decades from the
time of it's early advocacy by a weak ma
1lonal polltlcal ion a resolution
IN It's avo passes the national house of
representatives! At this rate of prog
fess, and the undoubted growth Of n,,h,;c
sentiment IN it's favor, within a few
years more the law-making nower Of
the several states will be relieved of the
work of naming representatives tn the
upper mouse OF congress-. Thu legislature
will become what it ought to be-tha
power of tn state-not the
theater of political ambitions and the
hot-bed of intrigue.

FATAL PNEUMONIA,

Physicians concede hat pneumonia is
epidemic in this city and tina forty per
cent of the cases are fatal. Notwith-
standing these admission there is really
no cause for alarm on the part of those
who tax the proper precautions. 1t is
our climate, for in other localities exper-
fences of a similar type are being under
gone. Out of twelve hundred deaths in
Boston seven hundred resulted from
question of altitude but of general ccndi-
tons more or less prevalent in all Sec
tons of the country. Like la grippe,
which swept over the country from
in a milder form from time to time since
the original onslaught, the present type
of pneumonia seems to have diffused it.
self all over the land.
Diseases of this type cannot be escaped
by fleeing from one locality to another.
but by observing the proper methods of
prevention and rational means Of cure.
It is a time when proper care should be
taken to prevent the stomach from rebel
ling against it's functions, through COR
rect habits of diet and abstinence from
alcoholic in~dulgences. The man whose
digestion is impaired by wrong eating, or
whose system is poisoned by excessive
drink is ripe for an attack of a fatal Char.
acter, for he can not summon his vital
forces to repel it. 1t is the unanimous
belief of the medical fraternity that by
far the larger percentage of fatalities
grow out of careless habits, lack Of
proper attention and default of good
nursing.
While some deaths occur, despite every
care which can be bestowed upon the
sick, and regardless of the most correct
methods of living, the list of fatalities
would be greatly shortened by the proper
observance of the laws of health, and by
giving to the sick the prompt and careful
nursing which their condition impera-
lively demands. The large number of
deaths that resulted from the grippe epi-
demic, especially in eastern cities, and at
the present time from pneumonia both
east and west, shows the apparent i..abil-'
ity of progressive medical science to
keep pace with the demands made upon
it. It was never more evident than now
that medical attention must be supple
mened with every advantage which care
full nursing can supply.
