ATTACKED BY BRYAN.
Towar the New Third
Parry.

William j. Bryan continues to main
tain what the democratic reorgantz-
ers would consider a pernicious ac-
tivity in politics. He has just come
OF against the allied party, which a
recently organized in Kansas City.
The third party, in SO far as it draws
from the democracy, he says, will
encourage the reorganizers by lessen-
ing the number of reformers in the
party. The reorganiZers, on the other
hand, are boasting of their purpose
to republicanize the democracy. The
democrats who believe in democratic
principles, standing between these
two extremes, must make the demo-
cratic party effective in applying dem
ocratic principles to conditions as
they arise
All this shows that the late stand
ard-bearer of the national democracy
is a good deal more hostile to the gold
element, which calls itself democratic,
than he is toward the new party
which has just been put in shape in
Kansas City. The reorganizers, as
he says, are ''boasting of their pur-
pose to republicanize the democracy"
In his opinion these personages, who
are working inside his party, are far
greater foes of democracy than are
the men who have risen in revolt
against it, and who have r%epudiated
it and adopted another name. The
men who are attempting to put the
democracy on a new base and to send
10 tl>n 80 -, -, ~, 49,, l. l~-o l~~.~
fighting the democracy's battles in
the recent campaigns are, as he views
the situation, the real enemies of the
democratic party.
Unquestionably Mr.. Bryan is cor
rect in this position. The democracy
cannot win battles by attempting to
come over to republican ground. 1t
must have principles of it's own, and
maintain them courageously and per-
sistently, if it wants to get the favor
or the respect of the people. The re-
publican party's record is we'll known
to the country. 1t has gained VIC
tories upon it, and expects to gain
more victories. Its position on all
the great issues of the day has been
outlined so often and so clearly that
nobody in the United States is in any
doubt as to its exact attitude on all
the questions which are of any in
terest to the country. The democracy
can accomplish nothing by trying to
be as republican as the republican
party, The democracy must get a
policy of its own, and advocate it
with courage and intelligence, if it
ever expects to get the respect of
any considerable element of the
American people.-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

DEMOCRATIC DISCRETION.
The Party in Ohio Are Not Doing
Much speuting in These
Times.

The rejection by the Columbus dem
ocratic convention of the teachings of
the late peerless leader apparently was
not confined to rejection-pro TEN. and
according to the particular deestric'-
of free silver heresies, but even the
golden hue and wisdom of silence has
taken possession of the party leaders,
for silence is to take the part of
stumping and still hunts of whooping
up the boys. Or, it may be, Ohio demo-
Gratis have taken counsel of the wfIdom
of their kentucky brethren, who al
lowed the cur senatorial candidates

ment of the candidates and the disap-
poiStment of the republicans for whom
the q~uadrilateral of candidates were
making magnificent campaign mate
rial. In any event, andno matter what
the cause. Chairman Daugherty has
come to the conclusion that one day
of speechmaking by democratic +
tors will be all the Buckeye state voters
can stand, and the first meeting at
Bucyrus will even be the last of all.
Verify, the glories of Ichabod have
departed. the tail end has fallen from
the democratic wagon, the breechin'
has broke and the toboggan appears to
be sleeper than usual and somewhat
more slippery than political humane
societiesought toallow. Thepartythat
once did a thriving business under the
leadership of Thurman and Ranney,
Sunset Cox and Jim Campbell is pre-
pairing to turn down the lights, pull
down the blinds and do it's weeping in
sorrow and deep seclusion. With Bry-
an gazing on Ohio in sadness-and a
sharpened knife-with Kentucky's
democratic quartette of tomahawkers
corralled and silenced, with the flood
gates of democratic oratory in the
Buckeye state turned into the tailrace
and forever wasted, it is no wonder
the old-time and the young-time demo-
Gratis ask each other, sadly, where they
are at, and find no man to answer them.

VictOrin's Royal UncIcs.

Hundreds of writer's and speakers
have asserted during the last six
months that when the late Queen Vic
toria assembled the throne, in 1887,
the crown had fallen into contempt,
owing to the extreme unpopularity
Of George Nv. and William IN. This
is all rubbish and nonsense. George
Nv. ought, very likely, to have been
generally detested, but, as a matter
of fact, he was always received every
where with unbounded enthusiasm
and the frantic cheers Of London and
Brighton We're also heard at Dublin
in 1921 and at Edinburgh in 1922.
There never vas a more populaE.
monarch, to judge from the accla-
nations of his subjects whenever he
condescended to appear in public.
Read the account in Vanity Fair of
King Georges state visit to the OPP
era, IN which T~hackeray describes
the wild ecstacies of the vast audi
ence, and of the crowds outside the
%tltcater, with mingled derison and
disgust. William Nv. was also a great
public favorite. and with consider.
ably more reason.-London Truth.

THE PRESIDENT STARTS WELL
New Head of the Nation Is Making;
Friends ana Winning Wide
spread Approval.

Everybody agrees that President
Roosevelt is making a good start, and
what everybody says must be So"
His demeanor has been unexception-
able from the very first. His brief but
comprehensive announcement of his
purpose to continue absolutely and
without variance the policy of Presi-
dent Mckinley" was extremely wise
and had an instantly ~reassuring effect
upon the country. His insistent reten-
ton of the Mckinley cabinet deepened
and confirmed this good impression.
And the reports from Washington that
the president i%s"making friends" s not
surprising. The sandr epresen-
tatives who have called upon him come
away with a conviction that the new
president means to do his best for the
whole country. and with a distinct lik-
ing for his cordial and earnest person
atty.
OF course the important men of his
party have not yet been to Washing

difficult to think that Theodore Roose-
welt has been so changed by the fact of
becoming president that he will not
have decided views of his W and seek

it would seem, is too large and strong
to be wholly merged in the shadow of
his predecessors fame.
As matters stand to-day. all hat he
has to do is to let we'll enough alone
to stick to the lines laid down, doing
practically nothing distinctively his
own-and he is bound to be nominated
in 1904 and probably elected. But can
he do it? 1t is simply a question of
temperament and of self-restraint.
Thus far he has certainly done very
well.-N. Y. World (Dem.).

Insect Pests in Brazil.

I should take a small gang of prac-
teal coffee planters from Ceylon with
good digestions to be not afraid OF
ghiggars, ticks and Berne flies-to say
nothing of the dear little mosquito.
The writer had extracted during four
years in Brazil no less than200 ghiggars
from underneath every toenail of both
feet. The Portuguese, Brazilians, Ital.
ians and Spaniards called it a recrea-
ton on Sunday to dig them out of each
others feet. Of all the vile insects
on earth, the Berne fly is the worst.
She lays her eggs inside your flesh,
and matches three very ugly insects an
inch long, with three rings of bristles
round the body and sharp nippers.
They take about six weeks to develop
under your skin; then to
turn somersaults just when you want
to go to sleep after a hard days work
in the sun. The natives of Brazil adopt
A novel way of extracting the brute

raw pork and the Berne m out of
