The gentiemanly-like manner of Col.
Archard and the unpretentious bearing
of the commanding general were in
marked contrast with the loftiness of
Maj. Berante, as he told with conscious
pride how he had entered the union
lines at Knoxville, taking Harold Beach
with him. had made the map of the de
lenses, laying down the location and
strength of the troops, the position of
batteries, the kind and condition of
armament; how, having been suspect

by assurance and tact had made his
way back to confederate ground. lie

that she had sought him to beg that he

ring that he had been deferred from
giving himself up as the real culprit
only by the important work of heading
off Gen. Heath.
There was n look of relief and deep
interest on the face of the gcneral-in-
chief. Margaret's truthfulness and the
noble work she had done in shielding
her brother had been established be-
You'd question.
And now" Berante went on. "having

you have among you one who is steeped

it,"
Stepping towards the general-judge,
Berante handed him paper.

The general-in-chief directed Berante
to consider the letter. Berante stood
slowly unfolding it, his glittering eyes
fixed on Gen. Heath with an expression
of malignant satisfaction.

The Times Democrat has a very
sensible post election editorial on
the subject of the tariff. tquot tics
from the New York Commercial a
statement that American steel
rails were protected seventeen
years ago to the extent of Sl7.oC
per ton, which was reduced under
the Mckinley tariff to $14. Al, and
under the Dingley bill to S7.S4'
Upon this text it breaches a little
sermon on tariff reform. Even
with the present duty, the steel
rail pool is enabled to sell to for
eign consumers cheaper than to
domestic. So with other ''trusts."
The American purchaser pays
more than the man abroad. The
only means of relieving such an
abnormal situation was ignored in
the last two Democratic cam
paigns. Let us hope that here

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

There will always be two great
political parties in America, and
one of these will always be the
Democratic. 1t may occasionly
stray off after false issues, as il
has during the past few years; but
it will always return to its funda-
mental faith, and It's true princi-
Piles will reassert themselves
sometimes voluntarily, naturally
and sensibly-sometimes, as al
present, through the chastenings
of defeat. :
There is good deal in q name,
and Democracy is an ancient and
an honorable title. AS to its fu-
ture, much illtimed and needless
speculation is at present being in
duIged in. 1t is too early to pre-
dict, for we do not know what
four years may bring forth. 1t is
safe to say, however, that a radi-
cal change must take place in the
party, for its name to be anything
more than a mere synonym for
foreordained defeat. This change
must begin in a change of senti-
ment upon the part of the masses
of the party. and manifest itself
IN a demand for a different leader
ship from that which has twice in
exhibited an ability to
lead only to a slaughter. How
soon this shall be realized is i'm
possible to foresee, but already
here are becoming visible evil
lences that It has begun. The
'icayune has sought the views Of

1t is handed down as one of the
sayings OF Solomon that "though
thou shouldest bray a fool IN a
mortar yet will not his fool
ishness depart from him." OF late
years the Democratic party has
pretty thoroughly exemplifed the
truth of the proverb; we consider
it to be the function of the last
event to determine whether the
party is confirmed in its lunacy,
or merely suffering from a temp or.
airy alteration.

Neither the election of 1896 nor

WHAT OF THE FUTUREq

1t is only by a thorough appre.
hension and frank acknowledgment
of the causes Of a defeat, that
political leaders may lay down
lines upon which future contest
may be successfully fought. la
the case of the present Demo
cratic disaster the question is not
what induced it. The causes are
too apparent to require seeking
after; it is merely whether or not
the men who so valiantly led the
party to an inglorious rout shall
exhibit enough manhood and hon
esty to candidIy acknowledge them.
a fanatical devotion to dlscred-
tied candidate means disaster in
the future, as it has in the past. In
Mr.. Bryan.s first nomination, and
in the espousal by the party of
/
those things for which he stood,
there was neither rhyme nor
reason. He was chosen solely as
the result of the utterance of a
catch phrase, a mere rhetorical
trick, and in a moment of senti-
mental enthusiasm.
No man ever had fairer field
m which to test his strength. Ar
rogating to himself the role of the
savior of the masses, in time of
financial distress he appealed to
the hopes, fears and passio ms
engendered by the conditions of
the hour; yet he received six hun
dred thousand less votes chan his
opponent. Lacking either the as
tuteness to perceive, or the honesty
to admit, that his favorlte issue
was both false and dead, he again
rammed it down the threats of
party managers weak enough to
swallow 1t. After having done as
much as any living man to secure
the ratification of treaty whose
meaning and effect were patent to
all the world, he staked the for
tunes of his party upon a fight
waged against the inevitable re.
suits of what he had himself
helped to accomplish.
For the second time, and, as
before, upon platform absolutely
of his own making, he appealed to
the American people; and with the
same result. Had the last plat
form declared specifically against
free silver, attacked the Republi-
can administration of the insular
possessions which Mr.. Bryan help
I'd to acquire, and laid the proper
stress on tariff reform, as the only
possible mode Of attacking trusts,
Democratic victory would have
'een easily possible.
To have done all this would
AVE meant the filing of a bill for
divorce, with Mr.. Bryan as
espondent, but it might also have
meant success. 1t only remains
o be seen how much longer the
'arty proposes to play the role of
he ardent lover, with Mr.. Bryan
s the object Of its devotion, to .
etermine the time when it may :
gain hope for a possible access
On to power.

HOW THE PAPERS TAKE IT.

HOW THE PAPERS TAKE 1T.
1t is al once amusing, disgust.
ing, instructive and interesting to
read the editorial comments OF
. various papers on the result of the
election. All imaginable shades
of opinion have found expression;
from the calm and sensible review
of the result End It's causes, and
their bearing upon the future of
the party, down to the cry of
fraud, corruption, blood, destruc-
ton and damnation of the country
generally. 1t is cause for con-
graduation that the vast majority
of the Democratic papers, even
Mr.. Bryan's closest supporters,
such as the New York journal,
are as frank to own, as they are
quick to apprehend, the causes of
the defeat. Among this class of
papers there is generally an hon
estly expressed realization of the
cold logic of results, and a con-
fession that the party must let
Bryan and Organism drop, and
cut loose from the rotten boroughs
of the West.
There is, however, class of
hysterical enthusiasts among pa
pers, as among individuals, who,
amongst their wailings and lamen-
tations, still proclaim that ''the
fight has just begun ''the peer
less tribune of the people shall
still lead us to victory" che must
and shall remain the standing
nominee of the party" etc. For
tunately this class of papers is not
large, and Is mostly confined to
the smaller and less influential
ones, among the city dailies, as
we'll as among the country week
lies. Mississippi, however, seems
to have its full quota. Undoubr-
edly, in bringing about a healthy
sentiment in the party, and effect
ing such q status as will put it in
proper trim for usefulness and
victory hereafter, much depends
upon the attitude assumed by such
papers, great and small, as have
ardently supported Mr.. Bryan for
foul years, and through two dis
astrous campaigns. Those who
do not permit their admiration for
Bryan to blind them to stubborn
facts, but are willing to admit the
thorough decease of issues and
theories upon the corpses OF which
two post mortems have been held,
even though death was prophesied
by a gold bug, are in position to
do the party real and lasting SER
vice.
On the other hand those who
shrek 'traitor!' every time
gold-bug's name is mentioned, and
are still prepared to die by the
declaration made in the halcyon
lays of '96, that no man shall be
elected to Office, from constable to
president, who does not believe in
he immediate free and unllm-
ted," ct cetera; who talk about
the terms upon which we may
possibly ye-admit gold-bugs to the
oarty;r who believe, or at least
lssert the belief, that Cleveland,
Carlisle, Wilson. OIney, and
others of their class, were and are

From the moment of bis Ora

throughout his first spectacula

it was almost sacreIige, in tn

1t is safe to say that no such ap

which sought to invest him with
attributes almost more than NOR

our own state, in introducing him
to an audience: ''the greatest man
who has lived on earth since Jesus

we find no words uttered in depre-
cation of such language, either by
Mr.. Bryan or his followers.
Not only was this mans person
atty almost worshipped, but his
words, likewise, came to be rever-
enced as though the product of a
divine affiatus. In the time to
come, when the passing men and
