mass Of the people reject the "old time
Democratic principles and policies. 1t
is this condition of things which con-
fronts the Democratic party, and creates
the dilemma in which the Democratic
doctors find themselves when they at
tempt to prescribe for the party's all
ments.
SO ii is that they take refuge in the
shadows of the past and appeal, not to
the practical common sense of present
every day experience by specific state
ment Of principles and policies that be-
long to and fit present conditions, but
appeal to that mistaken reverence and
voHrration Of the past, growing, rs it
does, out of ignorance Of Just what The
men who are dead, aud the conditions
/ of yore were, asserting without proof,
or possibility of proof, that the men who
arc dead were better. and wiser than
those who are alive; and that the days
of our daddies.' generations nearer to
/ barbarism than we arc were better than
the present
| With this idea dominant III its poiti-
cal thought the Democratic party has
become party dependent upon obitu-
aries and eptaphs for its "old time pin-
ciples and traditional politics. Its
retrograde movement does not suit the
people, and the forward movement of the
world does not suit it.
SO it is that the Democratic doctors
who are prescribing for post election
ailments. go to mlisty records, and
monuments for their remedies finding
that distance lends cnchantment to the
view" ana that death, like charity,
covers multitude of sins.
Hence the general Democratic pre-
scription Of drugs the world knows not
of-"a return to its old time principles
ana traditional politics.

WRONG AGAIN.

Republican organs now insist that the
people endorsed the Philippine policy Of
President Mckinley at the recent clec-
tion. Perhaps so, but the Republican
contention during the campaign was that
Imperialism was not an issue, and that
the money question was paramount
Every Evening.
Yes! reversing your order Of state
ment, the Republican contention was
that the money question was paramount,
and the people believed them. The
Demo rats said 'Imperialism" was
para a"lount, and the people didn't be
lievc them. So there you are. Now, il
the people did not endorse the Philip
pine policy Of President Mckinley, they,
at least, did not condemn that policy
by their votes but did condemn and re-
ject the Bryunite-Democratic policy ON
that subject; rejected il because they did
not believe whit Tho Democrats were
saying against the Mckinley policy, nor
yet what they were saying III favor o.
the Bryan policy.
So you scr, il doesn't matter q much
nov what thc Republicans said about the
Philippine question. What the Demo.
Gratis said, and thcy snid i lot ahout =
lot of things, didn't amount to anything
when the votes wcre counted they wert

or the Philippine policy but all wrong

TIE DEMOCRATIC DILEMMA.
one Of the notable characteristics Of
Democratic post election discussions is
the number Of prescriptions offered for
the healing of the ailments of the Demo
cratic party. We have read number
Of these prescriptions, but as yet have
found none in which the political practi-
tioner has vcntured upon a new line Of
practice-has suggested anything new
either in principle or policy. On the
contrary the general recommendation is
for Il 'rcturn to its old principles and
traditional politics." And there is this
remarkable fact to BE- noted about that
none of the doctors are bold enough to
be specific as to what ha regards the
''old principles and traditional politics"
Of the Democratic party. Why moi say
in plain terms what those old principles
are?
There aro j good Uiair p",nlc in his
country whose memory % Oh time
Democratic principle. ani Jraiitional
policies, is vague. ana somc indeed,
whose connection With tire party dates
no further back than i few recent cam
paigns. For instance they remember
that when Mr. Cleveland was elected in
1854, the Democratic party so far modi-
fed its old time free trade principles as
to adopt the idea Of tariff for revenue;
also that it modified its old time prin-
ciples Jacksonian-of spoils to the vic
tors, and approved the policy Of civil
service reform. These were new ideas ir
Democratic politics, and with these tc

RIvERrON PARK.

The management of Riverton Park
have provided a very fine entertainment
for the last week of the season that COM
menced yesterday afternoon and evening
with large audiences In attendance
There seemed to be an air about the park
yesterday which suggested that every
one had made up their minds to make the
most of these last visits to the beautiful
park during the amusement season. The
entertainment was opened as usual with
a splendid concert by the Matus Royal
Hungarian orchestra. The programme
selected for yesterday was composed from
the selections that have been most en-
joyed this summer and this plan viii be
followed through the wesk, the patrons
viii be treated to a series OF special pro-
grammes. The New York Vaudeville
club provides the vaudeville entertain
ment and the excellence of every act on
the bill may be imagined when it Is I'M
derstood that for the first time it was ev-
er noticed, every artistTon the programme
was given an enthusiastic recall at the
conclusion of their Especially. The per-
Torrance commences with an entirely
new aerial act introduced by the Ken
yons, European equilibrists, who have
made big hit in the American Vaude-
vile theatres. While man balances a +
ladder like structure, with a trapeze at
the top pretty and graceful young wom-
an mounts to the top and performs re-
markably clever act. Great applause fol-
lowed the conclusion Of every feat. The
Mitchels, a coIored sketch team, intro
duced a very good singing and dancing
sketch. The best ''coon" song heard at
Riverton this season was effectively
sung by Mr.. Mitchell. It is new too and
entitled, every race has a flag but
coon" The sentiment is pretty, the air
catchy and the comedy good,
The sketch made a pronounced hit
The act Of 1.-THE Ellsworths'' Is one Of
the prettTest novelties Of the season. A
fine looking young man and very
pretty young woman comprise the team
whose speciality is gun manipulating an
baton swinging. Several changes of cos
tune is made in the act that concludes
with bayonet duel between what rep
ressnts Yankee sentry and a Spanish |
soldier. 1t is refined, interesting and
effective act and won much we'll deserved |
applause. Fullam and Hanson, made a
hit with their illustrated songs and |
proved a favorite feature on the pro
The popular hit of the bill was
scored by Gordon and Lick, musical art
lists. This is the best musical comedy act
ever offered at Riverton park, and the
audience was convulsed with laughter
for twenty minutes. This act alone is
worth trip TO Riverton and Will please
every one. Performan ces will be given
every afternoon and evening BE sure
