OUTLOOK FOR THE DEMOCRACY.

Eternal vigilance. as has been truly said, is the
price of liberty. Therefore it becomes all good demo-
Gratis who believe that their party is the party of libor-
ty, to give constant and careful consideration to the
State of the country and the outlook for democratic
success.
War preparations are to be made in time of peace;
party organization must be perfected, party principles
clearly enunciated and spread abroad, and the party
success prepared not only at election time, but long In
advance.
The immense advantage the republicans had at the
last election was that the country was at war. The
American people have always voted for the party of
the administration in time of war. Further, besides
the existing Philippine war, the administration had the
enormous prestige of the Spanish war, which it had
successfully concluded. The head of the administra-
tion which could make two such irresistible appeals to
the country for Endorsement was again a candidate.
Considering all the circumstances of the case, the re-
suit was inevitable.
So far as can be now foreseen, unless something
happens, which does not seem likely to happen, that
will give President Roosevelt's administration some
similar basis of appeal to the country, the condition Of
affairs at the next election will be far different. BY
the time the next election comes the people of this coun-
try will have had time to realize what the republicans
have been really up to and how far they have departed
from the government of the fathers of the republic.
The people of this country would be very slow to in
dorse the radical policy of a colonial system, such as
the republicans have inaugurated, if a vote could be
obtained squarely upon that issue. The people, once
they have had time to realize the fagrancy of the Of
lenses OF the party now in power, will severely rebuke
the dominant section of that party which. to use the
expressions OF Mr.. Sidney Brooks, the distinguished
English critic, have come to speak of the declaration OF
independence with a wink and to sheer contemptuously
about being tied to the c~oattails of Washington.
Coupled with this radical departure and colony innova-
ton, the republicans have identified themselves with
the moneyed interests of the country which have
grown to such a degree as to require a party of their
own.
ON these two issues, which at the next election will
be squarely presented. unobscured by the glamor OF

HOT AFTER PISTOL ToTERs.

ner in which he goes for the pistol toter when ar
raigned in his court. One day this week two cases of
this kind were disposed of by him in the following man.
ner, as reported by the Waco Telephone:
There was a fine OF $3.50 imposed in the city court this
morning for carrying a pistol and another Of $roo for carry
ing a dirk.
NJ. w. Harper, a white man. was fined $3.50 for carrying
the pistol. He is a nice looking man. of good address. and
did not deny having the pistol, but said it was in his buggy.
Harper came out OF the Capitol saloon on the square and
walked to his buggy and began feeling about, as if looking for
something which was lost, This was before his arrest. Pc
lice Officers Ford and Hollowcll were on hand, and asked him
what he was looking for. 'l am looking for my gum was
he was doing with a gun. He replied that he had been out
TO see a man who owed him some money, but couldn't find
him. He stated further than the gun did not belong to him.
and, as a matter of fact, It is tho identical gun which was
stolen by a lot of boys some time ago and recovered by Off
Ger Lowrey. When brought before Recorder Kingsbury this
morning Harper acknowledged tina. the gun was in his buggy,
and was fined $3.50.
T., NJ. Mclean, a negro, was also fined $too, as stated
above, for having a big dirk on his person. Mclean de
Clarcd that he was not i'm the habit of CARRYING the m%urderous
weapon, but it was no GO lie said that he just put on the
dirk to go and see his laudlady, and that he kept il at home.
~ protects my house wild dat dirk declared Mclean, but the
trouble was that he got too far away from home i'm this case.
This Is rather drastic treatment, to be sure, but in
the light OF recent events in Texas who will say that
this judge is not right in his determined fight on the
pistolcarrying habit?
1t is not too much to say that Texas would be much
better off if we had more judges and courts of the kind,

WHAT THE scHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY SHOULD
DECIDE

Now that the proceedings before the court Of in
quiry are drawing to a close, and it only remains to
hear the remainder of Admiral Schley's testimony on
his own behalf. the case may be viewed practically as
concluded.
There is not an Intelligent and fairminded man in
the country that has a moments doubt as to what the
verdict of the court of inquiry ought to be.
The governments case has failed absolutely. Not a
single one Of the charges against Admiral Schley has
been substantiated. The case is one that contains no
reasonable evidence for an adverse judgment. The
case is such a one as, in ordinary trial before any Of
the Federal or state courts, would Justify the prescott
ing officers of the government entering a nolle prosequi
or the judges taking the case away from the jury and
directing "a verdict in favor Of the defense.
The judgment that is to be pronounced by the court
Of inquiry should be an exoneration of Admiral Schley,
as full and complete as it can be expressed IN the Eng
fish language. There should not be the slightest ambi-
guilty. The opinion of the court of inquiry should be so
emphatcally worded as to inform the whole world that
the court Of inquiry, at the conclusion of the fullest
possible investigation, believes as the American people
with entire unanimity believe, that Admiral Schley is
an officer without fear and without reproach.
Only by such Judgment can the odium which rests
upon us as a Nation for this unprecedented attack be
taken away. 1t has made the United States a laughing
stock among the nations, Courts martial have been
held and officers have been tried in this country and
in other countries for major and minor offenses. This
is the first time in the history Of the world that an Of
fcer has been put upon trial for the offense of win.
ming a great victory, AS soon and as completely as it
can be done, let this anomaly be wiped out. Let it ap
pear to all the world that the p~roverbial ingratitude of
republics does not apply to the United States; that in
this republic a great naval success over the enemies of
our country is not a crime; that we are an honorable
people in according honor to such a distinguished son
as Winfield Scott Schley, who overcame the Spanish
admiral, destroyed a great feet. ans won for the coun-
try the glorious victory of Santiago.

Indianapolis Sentinel.
The Kansas Cty Times, for many years the leading demo-
cratic newspaper OF Missouri outside of St. Louis, has been
sold to Mr.. w. R. Nelson, proprietor of the Evening Star Of
that city. The Times was for years years a very prosperous
newspaper, but since the death OF DR.. Munford, long its pro-
prietor. it has had vicissitudes Of fortune. Mr.. Nelson, who
has built up one great newspaper, will at once put the Times
again on a solid footing, and will, OF course, make it a sue
cess. as he does everything he undertakes. 1t is to be hoped,
however, that he will respect the democratic traditions Of the
Times. Mr.. Nelson is a democrat and couldn't be anything
else very long if he tried. He has abundant scope for indie
~pendence" in the Star. Let him give full play to his demo-
cratic instincts in the Times.
