The nineteenth century has been
wonderful era of progress in all

greater results. The processes of
social evolution are naturely slow;
we hesitate to let 90 Of the tried

our views to see the right. The
tyrannies of man upon his fellow

our social progress and we who

century cannot but feel that the
world looks brighter and better

The!ued in the Democracy.

The gap between fhe different
factions of the Democracy have
been broadened instead of narrow
ed by Mr.. Cleveland's entrance in
to the erena as a champion of the
doctrine of a few years ago and Il
critic of the doctrine of to-day.
Cleveland's old Secretary of the
Navy Hilary A. Herbert says,
"Taken altogether, there is no an-
swering Mr.. CIeveIand's argu-
ments," yet he criticisies many
points in them. Other men on the
Cleveland side favor the ex-Presi-
dents view in one or two particu-
lars, while opposing it in others.
The Bryan section of the Demo
cracy, however, is hostile to Cleve-
land on all points. Bryan him
self objects because Cleveland neg

he considers Democratic princi-
pies" Judge Reagan, the old

Bryan was born and before Cleve.
land was known outside the block
in which he resided, declares that
Cleveland himself is responsible
for most of the woes which have
come upon the Democracy in the
past few years. The disaster
came, according to Judge Reagan,
because Cleveland, in his extrs
session of Congress in 1898, threw
his influence in favor of the estab
lishment of the gold standard, in
stead of letting the finance ques
lion alone and attempting to cu
the tariff duties to the reuenue
basis. Shanklin, of Indiana: an
other prominent Democrat, say
that Cleveland's words at the pres

he voted for Mckinley or fo'
