This exemplifcaIion from Texas is so typical
of the general condition of the Democracy at
present exhibited al Washington that po-
litical students naturally regard ii with absorb
ing interest. Out Of the conflict there must
come a result which it is not believed is con-
templated by the mass OF the demOraliZed and
Tenderness followers Of the Democracy. SO eX-
perienced and sagaciOus an old line Democrat
Senator Vest. Of Missouri. takes the position
that before the Democracy will be able again
10 win a National victory ii must purge itself
Of PopuIism. Indeed the Senator is quoted as
saying in effect that the obvious nausea that
is now responsible for the depressed condition
OF the Democratic spirit in Congress Is due 10
the fact that the purging process already is IN
progress. The Senator also intimates the belief
that the emetic that has started the purglng
ard caused the nausea is Organism. The Mis-
soyrian's diagnosis points 10 the conclusion that

How soon this result can be brought about fs

basis bv Senator Vest. According 10 his esti-
maze the party will be quite four years-and

Then il will take another four years for II 10

as senator Vest does believe the party will be

TITS A WELL KNOWN FACT

1T is A WELL KNOWN FACT
that Mckinley was one Of the last
men in this country to resort to
arms in order to suppress the tyranny
of Spain in Cuba, and it may be
wondered whether lie would have
consented at all, had it not been for
the unhappy event of the blowing up
of the fine American battle ship
Maine in Havana harbor little over
two years ago. But after Spain was
beaten out of Cuba, and by the help
of the Tagals in the Philippines, he
became SO anxious for the war to
continue that he bought little, rum
pus down there, paying the modest
sum Of $40, 900, 900 for the fight that
he has nursed along with varying
success ever since. And yet the
republicans call that craftsmanship

that from an observation of what is
