DEMOCRACY.

1t Is more than likely that ex-Govern-
or McCreary of Kentucky is correct in
his belief that the South is opposed to
the present policies of the Republican
party and less than ever inclined to
abandon Democratic principles.
Inc hentuckian points to his own
State as offering proof of the firmpess
with which the South still holds to the
democratic faith. He predicts an over
wheiming Democratic victory in keu-
lucky this fall. He also reports that the
Democratic sentiment in Alabama is ex-
ceptionally strong. The South is definite-
~ aligned against the Mckinley admin
istration, Mr.. McCreary claims, because
the Southern people do not believe in
nigh protection, in colonization, in IA
large standing army or in trusts.
Against this claim of a Democratic
south thus advanced by Governor Nc
Creary it is not improbable that Repub-
iicans will protest by pointing to the
great enthusiasm which marked Presi-
dent Mckinley's reception in the South
ern States. 1t must be remembered.
however. that the welcome of the Pres
ioeht IN the South was not at all of
a political nature. The President
or the United States should be re-
ceiVed with high honor, the dignity of
the office demanding this of any State in
the Union which the President might
choose to visit. Not for a moment was
south's hospitality a token of its in
oorsement Of the Mckinley policies.
II Will be instructive to watch the
Aentucky elections this fall and the
congressional elections next year for
PROOF OF the South's alignment on exist
ing political issues. There is a greater
necessity for the firm maintenance Of
democratic principles now than ever be-
Tore. The South is naturally Democratic.
n nothing has happened under Mr..
Mckinley's administration to weaken its
Democracy.

FOR SHAME.

1T has taken just six weeks to prove
the utter unreliability Of the charges Of
election fraud that were made during
and after the last fall campaign. The
Republic said that the frauds were
grossly exaggerated at the time BY a
partisan press.
Action taken by Judge Clark on
Wednesday shows the truth Of the asser.
ton. The last Grand Jury a few DAYS
before the spring election returned in
dictments against twenty-three judges
Of, election, charging them with neglect
OF duty. That Grand Jury was com.
posed Of ten Republicans and two Dem
ocrats. Republican politicians secured
the testimony upon which the indict.
menus were based. It was to be sup-
posed that they would use every effort
to convict the indicted oficials.
When the cases came up before Judge
Clark Of the Court Of Criminal Correc-
ton q few days ago. he sustained a de

D R1cks's CAMPAIGN.

In the enthusiasm attendant upon the
visit to Alton Of Judge James w. Kicks.
Democratic candidate in the Second ILL
nois Supreme District. there is a crafty
ing indication of a full party support at
the polls which will insure the election
Of Judge Kicks by a handsome, majority.
This, indeed, is the wise determination
Of the party leaders In the Alton district

vote of that district in behalf of Judge
Ricks-and it should also be the anima-

ness to the party's interests which shall
insure the casting Of the full Democratic

There are two exceptional reasons WHY
Judge Kicks should poll a truly repre-

he is a most worthy candidate. A turist
of the highest ability, his service ON the
Supreme bench viii be a benefit to the

A GLIMPSE OF THE PAN-AMERICAN MIDWAY.

Those buildings are elements which could
not be brought into harmony easily were rig
orously excluded from the picture. The
architects formed their exposition picture,
not by harmonizing all the discordant ele-
ments. but by throwing them into the
scrap heap"
There are three scrap heaps" Ono is the
interior Of the buildings, another is the sec
ton OF the grounds where are located the
state and foreign buildings, and the third
10 the midway. These scrap heaps have no
relation to the exposition. The State build
ings are massed together without ever the
sorry arrangement of a street in one cor
ner OF the grounds. The midway is care
fully slowed away behind restaurant build
ings. that form the side frames of the ex-
position picture.
Whether or not 1t would be possible in an
exposition to paint a picture. using these
discordant elements, instead Of discarding
them. IL q question. Can the exhibitors be
made amenable to regulation so that their
exhibits shall At into the picture? Can the
designers Of these exhibits and buildings be
tied up In som way SO that their structures
shall. in size. height, color and architecture
conform to a standard hike the separate
sculptural works which form q part Of the
Pan-American Exposition picture? Can in
structions be 50 carefully digested. 30 precise

these elements shall form parts Of q beau

How Far They May Control.
The question of how far the exposition
authorities can control the design Of an
exhibitors installation can better be con-
sidered when the method by which they
are obtained Is understood. In many cases
where . big appropriation Is made by a
State or q foreign country, the exposition

can make meager regulations as to the size
and the character Of the exhibit. In such
cases the only course open Is to put them
