ceases to be important, all the powers
accepting it,"

question in the great field of politics and
government in which America has been

Against all these the Democratic party
has been arrayed in pessimestic fear OF
misuse of power, and pretended fear of
the overthrow of the Republic. In this

The RIGHTEOUSNESS OF this idea is sug-
gcstive of the straights to which the
Democracy has come-like the newly

There are a good many people in this
country who remember time when
Democratic dislike for soldiers in blue

.AG,INn TIE GOVERNMENT.

Tho Democrats in Congress have lined
up against the proposition of President
Mckinley, 10 give the President author
ity to increase the regular army from
G0,O0O TO 100000 men. Judging from the
tone Of the Democratic press the argrl-
mcnt urged against the proposition is the
danger incurred in putting such power in
the hands of the executive. This is
Characteristic of The Democratic party;
always objccting to the demands of
progressive age; always suspicious of evil
intent in its opponents; and always pes.
simistic as to the outcome of progressive
ventures. it reflects its characteristic
motives and purposes with Photographic
accuracy.
