DEMOCRATIC PARTYs FUTURE
CBostOn Traveler.O

It may be that Mr.. Bryan will step
down and out from the leadership of
his party, leadership won by great
personal ability and merit. We have no
fear but that he viii do what is right,
but we do not believe that he will be
forced against the wall by such men
as Don Dickinson. Grover Cleveland
and their associates. men who have
been stabbing the Democratic party for
over four years These men are not
Democrats They are legitimateIy part
and parcel Of the Republican party,
and have the same hopes, the same as
piratiOns as the closest followers of the
party in power.
To allow such men to assume control
would be to disrupt the Democratic
party hOpelessly- It would lose it the
south and west. That the lines of the
Democratic party must be changed is
perhaps a necessity, but it is safe to
say that it viii go ahead with renewed
strength and under able leadership
much the same as in the last two cam
paigns. At all events the DickinsOns
and Clevelands are reckoning unwiS~ly
when they believe that the reins Of.
control are to be abandoned to them.
The Democracy has not come to such
pass that traitors must be put in COM
maQd.

When George Sand, the famous
French novelist, was living at Nohant.
near the close of her life, she was fair
ly caught on her own grounds by a
determined British Journalist of her
own sex, who opened a formidable note
book and demanded:
AT what hour do you work, ma
dame?"
I never work, replied George Sand,
gayly.
"HO! But your books? When do
you make them?"
They make themselves, morning,
evening and night"
This was battling, but the British
lady, although deficient in grace, did
not lack grit, and said; What is your
own favorite, may ] ask, among your
noveIs?"

INrEr ESTING .AcrION.

The aldermen took interesting and significant action last evening, when, by vote of IT to 5, they did their part toward changing the report of the Board of Finance If the councilmen take similar action the report will be changed, and that which has seemed improbable under the new charter will happen. It takes two-thirds vote of both branches of the Court of Common Council to change the report, and some have thought it almost impossible that such a vote could be obtained. Perhaps it will not be this time, but great deal of shrewd work to get the change made is being done, and some of the work CTS have bright hope of success. They are much pleased with the aldermen.
