Hob lie GIN WIN.


The time has come for Democrats of all
shades of belief to lay aside unl1indly
feeling. Ii they do this they will unite
and win. If they do not they might as
well leave the field to their political enc
mics
Tuesdays elections, regarded in the
instructive. Why did we win in Ken
lucky? Because we were united there.
In that state Democrats have fought each
ether as bitterly as elsewhere. Their
Guarrels ended in turning over the state
TO an organized band of cutthroats and
assassins who called themselves Repub-
licans. The state is redeemed because
* kentucky Democrats have realized their
own folly.
Maryland returns that stalwart Demo-
crat, Arthur German, to the senate.
What Democrat, within or outside of
Maryland, now asks whether German
is silver or gold? What Democrat is it
who does not rejoice that German viii
be on hand once more, the spokesman
of his people, on the floor of the federal
senate?

Mostly because of Democratic dissension.

Democratic dissenson. Tuesdays cleo
lions show that the border states are
as safe as those of the gulf, if only Dem
oerats are true to each other and to their
party.
What is the message from Kansas.
from South Dakota, from Nebraska?
IheSe states were never TRULY Demo-
cratic. They are not today. Can they
be made Democratic? Yes; but it will
only be when Democrats have forgotten
a good deal, and learned more.
The light is breaking in the East.
Tammany corruption in New York has
received the same rebuke. as Quay COR
ruption in Pennsylvania. The only diff
ference is that the Republicans Of Penn
sylvania had not the devotion to COM
mon honesty in politics which the New
York Democrats made manifest. Let the
spirit of Democratic union be once truly
asserted, and New York New Jersey and
Connecticut will resume their old places
at the head Of the Democratic column.
This is the time for a searching of
Democratic hearts. No principle, only
foolish feeling and i'll will, divide us. We
can win in 1904, and before 1894 if only
honest with ourselves and true to our
party.

ural attribute not as wealth. but as a
condition or basis of wealth. something
not wealth which helps wealth to arise
and exist.
Tie notion of wealth is by this timo
clear. Wealth is whatever originates in :
purposed human exertion and at the
same time ministers to human wants
considered as experiences of mems or
binary and earthly life. But for certain
purposes we need deeper analysis than
this. There is wealth and wealth; there
is wealth which answered mems real ami
permanent needs and advances them in
the dignity of rational beings, and there
Is wealth that dehumanizes and degrades.
Obscene literature. if 1t can be sold for
money, possesses trade value, and so has
to be classed as wealth according to the
above definition, but 1t is not wealth i'm .
the same sense as bread clothing and
houses are. These and such things re-
lieve mems fundamental and legitimate
necessities. whereas wealth. like vile
books and pictures, not only does not
do this, but on the contrary, eXerts u
baneful influence, not only on individ-
uals, but also upon society. Any people
would be better off without them. Every
reader can easily add to the list OF the
things which might thus be classed as
flake wealth in contrast with wealth
too numerous in every community. In
other words, there are items in which
any considerable body of men would be
actually richer if they were technically
poorer.
A caution, however: Many things
might by some be classed as fake
wealth which are not SO. You might
at first place all ornaments and luxu-
ries here, but in so doing you would GER
tainly err. There may be ornaments and
luxuries the use of which lowers life but
not all have that effect. The apprecia-
ton OF beauty is q noble part of ones
nature; tc crafty it in due measure IS
proper and right, elevating and enrich
ing life more than almost anything else
could do. Also many articles or services
stigmatized as luxuries are perfectly le-
gitimate, since they refresh the weary,
change the atmosphere, keep toll from
becoming drudgery, and in many ways
protract mems power for useful activ-
ity. We can perhaps, suppose that a
luxury has none of these effects, but still
eniarges and enriches life and that
without any drawbacks gives net eIeva-
ton to your experience, yet without add
ing at all to your power. The existence
of a luxury of which just this could be
said may be doubted, for most of that
better experience increases energy as
well; but should there be such it would
be wealth, actual and genuine wealth,
not fake wealth."
