cLEVELAND's ADVICE.

Ex-president Cleveland contributes
an article Of some length on the pres
ent condition Of the Democratic party
and what 1t should do in the future.
Much Of what he says is not impor-
tant for future considerations. Every
body knows as well as he that the
party has twice been beaten, and the
question now is what to do next. It
Is easy enough to bemoan the past, but
the practical question is Of the future.
He embodles all he has to say at the
close in the remark: Give the rank
and file a chance" Certainly, by all
means. But the rank and file have had
infinitely more chance under Bryan
than it did under Cleveland. The for
mer is thousand times more a man
Of the people than is the latter. We
would not blame the ex-President, how
ever, since his tastes and associations
were not in accord with the Western
man. The future Of the party will
shape itself, and the party will see its
way clearer as the days so by. But
surely Mr.. Cleveland should know that
parties as q rule, do not 80 backward
There isn't much going backward in
this world. Like everybody else, po-
litical parties must go orward.-Law-
renee (Mass) News.

TEN MILLIONS A DAY.

The congress which adjourned Sat
urday for the Christmas holidays is
appropriatlng money at the rate OF
ten millions day for every day OF the
session, and 1t has not yet reached the
big appropriation bills. Tho average
Will be greater then. The Philippines
are costing $l15,OOO,OOO a year, not
counting the expense OF bringing home
the volunteers and replacing them by
new men. The total receipts from the
Philippines is less than $S,6OO,OOO a
year, Even the commercial argument
fails to balance on that showing.
It is said that Secretary John Hay
contemplates resignlng from the cab
met II the Hay-Pauncefote treaty Is
seriously amended. Well, he could be
spared easily enough, II is we'll for
the country to know that the Demo-
Gratis In the Senate are exerting pres
sure to have the treaty amended so
that we can have a Nicaraguan Canal
Whlch VIII be credit to this nation,
and which can be properly defended
1t Is due to the steadfast and patriotic
action Of the Democrats that the mat
ter Is gradually taking reasonable
shape, Some plain truths are preached
to the Republicans in the frequent ex-
ecutive sessions now being held.
The treaty is being so stubbornly
contested that the holiday recess Is
likely to find the Senate congested with
heaps Of unfinished business. Tho
House grlnds out everything the ad-
ministration desires, but the Democrats
make 1t clear in the Senate-where
their power can be usefully exerted-
that despite the recent defeat they are
working to save the country from the
reckless extravaganza and misuse Of
power which characterizes the Repub-
llcan policy.-Burllngton (Ia,) Demo.

RISING COST OF SOLDIERS.

General Macarthur has recommend
ed the payment Of a bounty of $3.50
to every soldier in the Philippines
who re-enlsts for another term. And
so anxious are the men to return
home that no certainty Is felt that
even this liberal bonus will suffice to
keep our standing army In Asia up
to the 10000 mark at which General
Macarthur has said It must be main
talned. The terms OF the great ma
Iority Of all our soldiers out there ex-
plre on June so next, and IL they can
not be persuaded to re-enllst the ne
cesslty FOR cllisting new men to take
their place will have to be faced.
Almost simultaneous announcement
is made that the British government
has been forced to multiply by four
the per diem pay of its mounted troops
in South Africa In order to recruit
their constantly depicting ranks, It
Is thus made plain that TO keep 10000
American troops In Asia and 10000
British troops in Africa, in wars which
the commanders In each case have de-
clared to be over, except as to guer-
rilla and bushwhacklng operations,
bountles and greatly increased pay for
the private soldiers are necessary.
As financial investments wars of
conquest are doubtful, even for the
nations that get their soldiers by COM
pulsory enlistment, as Germany and
France do, but for the United States
and Great Britain, which have to buy
their services in the open market, in
competition with the peaceful indus
tries, they are doubly dubious. And
ahead Of our own venture in Asia
there looms the specter Of another
heavy pension roll.-New York World,

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

Edwin G. Madden, third assistant
postmaster general, presents some sug-
gestlve figures and reflections in his re-
port. He shows that out of nearly 49,
O00,O articles handled In the regis
tered mail by employees numbering
high In the thousands, only 81 pieces
were lost by accident, carelessness or
dishonesty-a statement whose force
can only be appreciated after a
thoughtful contemplation of the mean
ing Of the stupendous figures. And he
shows that during the same time there
was transmitted through the mails
about $1,667 500 Oe00-more than a bill
lion and half-in government money,
not one dollar Of which was lost.
Surely no greater testimonial is pos
sible to be given to any service than
these astounding figures" Mr.. Madden
says, "and 1t Is doubtful II any private
corporation in the world can match 1t.
II the government can with perfect
confidence intrust billions Of dollars of
its money to the registered mals-and
the government matter is not hedged
about with any greater safeguards
than encircle the letters of the hum
blest individual-what cause for ap-
prehenslon can exist to deter the prl-
vate citizen from patronizlng this ser
vice?" And another question even more
pertinent to this subject, which should
be asked at this point, is this: II to
the government may be intrusted the
administration Of this vast public util-
ity, which enters so intimately into the
life of the people, and If the govern
ment thus proves its worthiness, what
cause for apprehension can exist among
fair-minded men to deter them from
placing all other interstate public
utilities-the railways, telegraphs, and
the express-under the same beneh-
cent administration, to the end that
that which is the public's shall be run
for the sole benefit of the public leav-
ing to private enterprise the splendid
field Of effort which remains, and de-
stroying at the same time a dangerous
system Of special privilege e?-Farmers

LICKING REVENUE STAMPS.

How much relief the people will get
from the repeal Of war taxes is not yet
apparent. The war in the Philippines,
which Senator James Mcmillan stated,
when in Jackson a short time before
election, would end in a month If Nc
Kinley was reelected, still goes on, and
fifteen hundred dead soldiers we're
brought home in single transport, the
Hancock, short time ago The con-
tinuation Of the war in the islands will
necessarily prevent the lowering Of
taxes to peace basis, and the Hanna
subsidy job will demand an increase
of money from the people. Hanna
says the shipping business is not
profitable, but just why the people
should be taxed to make that or any
other business profitable is not obvious
to any class except the subsldy-mong-
ers.
Many kinds Of business are burdened
by the stamp tax, The brewers have
made a push for reduction, and OBJ
ta!ned a relief of 40 cents a barrel
S1.60 in place of 81. Before the Spanish
war the tax was 81 a barrel. Relief is
also urged from the stamp tax on pat
eRt medicines, and 1t would seem IS If
TINS claim is entirely reasonable. Mere

than most persons realize medicines
put up In boxes and glass bottes are
the remedies OF the poorer people. and
II is unwise to tax them except as n
means of providing revenue in times Of
national danger and peril, and when
the exlgency is ended the tax should
disappear, Certainly It is very an
noylng tax, and 1t does not seem alto
gether Just that this business should bO
burdened above any other,
Licking stamps for revenue is n
mean sort of business any way, and

than a democratic republic, jackson

THE POPULIST IDEA
rs ENGAGING THOUGHT IN
EVERY LAND.
Compulsory Arbitration Between Em-
pioyer and Employs WIN Yot Bs a
Law of Our Country-ThoSS Who OPP
pose It

The labor and arbitration conference
held undes the auspices OF the National
Civic Federation In Chicago recently
is another movement indicative of the
spirit which today recognizes the force
OF tho biblical Injunction, Come, let
us reason together" and through
which only may wo hope to see the
pressing problems Of our social and
economic lifo forever solved. II is too
early to estimate the results of tho
conference, but the simple fact that
men representing all phases OF the
labor-and-capital question did come
together and, talking face to face one
with the other sought TO find q basis
for action in the interest of harmony
and good fellowship, is of large i'm
portance and contains a promise for
the future of infinite hope. The most
important discussion, perhaps, con-
cerned the question OF compulsory ar
bitration. In this connection, 1t is
suggestive that Hugh II. Lusk, ex-
member OF tho New Zealand parlia-
ment, and an earnest advocate OF COM
pulsory arbitration as II obtains in
the antlpodes, after presenting the ad-
vantages OF that form, admitted that
he could not Imagine how an arbi-
tration court could be set up in Amer
lea which would not be under the con-
trolling influence Of the wealthy class
to which its members would belong,
nor how labor could be brought to
have confidence In such q court II It
were set up" This naturally raises
lne questions; Why, II the labor Of
Australia contides in It's governmental
proceedings and is willing to intrust
It's sacred interests to the care OF men
named by government, are not the
same conditions to be found here?
And what is there is our system or
practice which thus creates distrust
and fear that injustice may here be
done? Questions, 1t seems to us, bear
ing vitality upon the relations OF the
people to the governmental govern
ment theoretically of and by and for
the people themselves, The very ex-
istence OF such state is reflection
upon the ways into which we have
fallen, and calls for wise counsel and
action.--New York Journal.

Failed to Post a Forfeit.

been the principals was declared off
Saturday morning. The Wheelmen's

above contest was to have been. has
announced that the match will not be
pulled off on the night of Jan. Is as at
first announced. Kennedy was wired
instructions to post $50 guarantee
binding himself to appear and weigh
in at 1913 pounds. He was given until
Saturday noon to post his forfeit and
as nothing of the kind was done, the
jig was up. The contest will probably
come off in a months duration. as the
club will match Murrey with another
good man.
