where newspapers are paid for sun

their convictions and salaries from
the same source; where preachers are
paid from 81 600 to $4,000 a Wear
10 dodge Satan and tickle the ears Of
the wealthy.
Nv here business consists in get
ting property in any way that will
not land YOU in the penitentiarv:
where trusts hold you up and poy

false hair and men dock their horses
tails; where men vote for thing one
day and swear about it the other 364
DAYS in the year; where we have

Capitol and whisky in the basement:
where We spend $4,000 to bury a

$4,000 and the poor private who
faced the shell S144. with the insiu-
uatiOns that he is Government
pauper aud a burden because he
lives.
Nv here to be virtuous is to be lone

valve Of conscience and pull wide
open the throttle of energy: where
gold Is worshiped and God Is used as
wastebasket for our better thoughts
and good resolutions; where we pay
Sl5 for a dog and Is cents & dozen
to poor woman for making shirts;
where We teach the untutOred Indian
the way TO eternal life and kill him

corruption permeates our social fab

Come to us, Agui. We have the
grandest aggregation Of good things,
soft things and hard things of all
sizes, and varities and coIors ever
exhibited under one big tent Send
your delegation and we will prove
all these assertions for truths"

allied with the trusts, and also Gus

The meeting Of the Daughters Of
Revolution in Washington has been
the same turbulent zssemblage so ia
miliAr TO Washington people from the
experience of previous years. In this
1t Is q great contrast TO the meeting
Of the woman sufrsgists, so recently
held there, where the strictest psrlia
mentary order was preserved. The
Daughters did not hesitate TO inter
rupt the speakers and to attempt to
address the meeting without being
recognized. Two of the vice presi-
dents grew so excited that they fairly
pushed over diminutive girl page
who happened to get in their way.
The trouble is that the Daughters
have not learned what men learned
long ago, that large bodies caunot de
liberate, but must work through com
mittees and floor leaders. Any other
system only produces trough houses. 8"

The Democratic Convention.


The determination of the National
Democratic Committee to hold the
convention on July 4th instead of on
May 9th was triumph for the con-
sentative element of the party. The
Populist element wanted the conven-
ton held simultaneously with the
Populist convention in order that
both conventions might nominate
the same ticket on the same day.
Vigorous speeches were made in sup
port of this proposition. fortified with
the argument that the Democrats
ought to jump into the fray at the
earliest possible moment with q pro-
test against trusts, in order to sntici-
pate any declarations that the Re-
publican convention might make on
that subject. But few strong words
from Senator German were sufficient
to blow these straw arguments away,
aud the committee decided to hold
its convention after the Populist
convention and the Republican con-
vention have been held, thus giving
plenty of time for the people TO dis
cuss men and measures in advance of
the PRONUNCIATION of the platform
and tie nomination of the candidate.
Wise counsel prevailed at this meet
ing of the committee. The couser-
vative men will do all in their power
to prevent the party from making
any blunders this time.
There is also something significant
10 the fact that the convention is
called to meet on July 4th. The
Baltimore Sun says in referring to
the fact that the day is we'll selected.
suggesting, as it does, "the principles
70 which the Democratic party
should appeal and the character of
the leaders whom II shall select 70
represent It." The party should
fight" ii adds, ''for the maintenance
of republican institutions and for
the resfirmat.on In our national ad-
ministration Of the truths announced
in the Declaration of Independence"
at lie the great mission, as il is the
duty, of the Democratic party to de-
fend the Declaration of Indepen
dence, the Constitution of the United
States, aud those eternal principles
upon which the republic was found
ed. If the party will always do this
1t will always command the respect
of the nation and it will always be
triumphant even in defeat. tits the
duty of the Democratic party to win
if it may do so without forssking its
principles, but mere temporary sue
cess at the expense of principles were
dearly purchased. If the Democrat
ic party had succeeded in 1896 il
might with truth have said with a
warrior of old: zone other such VIC
tory and we are lost" The Demo
cratic party cannot possibly strength
en- itself by compromising with Pop
ulists and free silver Republicans.
If these see fit to vote with the party
nobody can object; but such support
must not be had at a price. The
Democratic party cannot afford to
solicit this vote by Incorporating
POpulistic doctrine in its platform.
ave are for the republic instead
of the empire" That is the slogan
for 1900. If the Democratic party
will only adopt it and make a plat
form in no sense inconsistent there
with all true Democrats in this coun-
try will rally round the flag, boys,
and there will be an old fashioned
Democratic love-fesst at the Kansas
City observation-disclosures Times.

Gen. Cronje's surrender turns the
tide of war in the British favor, and
with Gen Roberts now free to attack
Gen. Jonbert, who opposes Buffers
