conduct was much admired.
On the whole. Italy has prospered under
King Humbert. IL was after his reign
commenced that the triple alliance was es-
tablished to which Italy belongs.
In appearance King Humbert was very

Teis How 70 Restore the Democratic Party
Pleads for the Rank and File.


PHILApELPHIA. Dec. io-Former Pref
dent Grover Cleveland contributed to this
week 8 issue OF the Saturday Erenino Post
of Philadelphia an extended article on the
Plight of the Democracy and the Remedy.
Mr.. Cleveland begins by reviewing the his
tory Of the party and he discusses It's defeats
since 1854 In detail. In taking UP the ques-
ton Of the present condition of the Demo-
cracy he says that the success OF the party
In 1892 was 40 decisive and overwh 81 min e
that long continuance OF It's supremacy y
was anticipated Tlen came the fallaoy
Of Free Silver and Populism. Mr.. Cleve-
land proceeds:
"The elimination Of Democratic woe was
reached when It's compact with these un-
Democratic forces was complete and when
our rank and fle were summoned to do bat
tie under banners which bore strange SYM
bols and we're held aloft in unfamiliar hands
The result Of such a betrayal was foredoomed
This abandonment OF principles OF true
Democracy, this contemptuous dsobedience
of its traditions and this deliberate violation
OF the law OF its strength and vigor were. by
a decree as inexorable as those Of fate. fol-
lowed by the inevitable punishment Of stun
ming. staggering defeat.

mad adventure was quickly followed by
