St.Louis Globe-Democrat: In the
last 40 years the Democratic party
has elected but one Of it's presidential
candidates. That we'll known citizen,
Mr.. Cleveland, wrote q letter in Feb
1uary last, in which he expressed
the hope that 1.-The time is fast ap-
preaching when our grand old party
will shake off the dreadful dreams
that have afflicted it. - This express
ion aroused Mr. Bryan, the demo-
cratic candidate for president dur
ing the last two capaigns, who pro-
seeds to say in his paper that that
Mr.. Cleveland made the White
House 1.-The rendezvous of cunning
and crafty representatives of pred
atory wealth" and that he left =
record that has hung like milestone
about the neck of tho party ever
since.'' Such is the Language inter-
changed between the only democrat
elected since 1856, and the demo-
cratic nominee for the same Office in
1896 and 1900.
A choice between "dreadful
dreams and government y''pred-
atory wealth" 10 all that Cleveland
and Bryan are able to offer in COM
pairing notes personally a. represent
alive democrats enjoying the high
est honors of their party. Mr.. Cleve-
land was unloaded by the party and
Mr.. Bryan is now undergoing the
same operation, though not with
entire complacency. Soon tho two
will have the knowledge in common
that they are discarded favorites,
both repudiated as leaders, and yet
berat;ng each other in term more
vigorous than somports with any
sort of fraternity in politics. If
Cleveland and Bryan and their
followers condemn eash other so
eavagely what can he said of tho
party that, by turns, has been en-
thusiastic over both? Where is the
middle ground betwixt dreadful
dreams and milestone record? MIR.
German must be = genius, indeed,
if he finds it and presuades the
people that he can pick the right
sort of man, after the characters
Celeveland and Bryan bestow upon
each other.

All of us can remember that when
wo wore lads attending school the
busy body, the boy who thrust him
self into every question whether
asked or not, the lad who insisted
upon being leader, without the
qualifications 80 we'll de6nedin Boy
land, was ineontinently sat upon and
the Injunction usually tool. the form,
"You mind your own business
and shut up"
This imperative advice, if not
seuched in diplomatic language, has
the Advantage Of terseness, clearness
and impressiveness.
Tho military department of the
United States, especially that wing
thereof relating to the army, would
seem to be hsneycombed, with dis
satisfaction. Not Miles alone but
many officers arrogate to themselves
the right to criticize their Supporters
and not few fail to confine them
,elves to semi secret letters, but give
vent to their dissatisfaction and to
their dissidence in public.
President Roosevelt is a strong
man and Secretary Root is neither
plastic nor timid. We suggest to
them that the spirit, of not the letter,
Of the school boy prosposition be
conveyed to all subordinate officers
who are insubordinate in their cavill-
ing criticisms and in their desire to
: secure personal advancement at the
expense of the policy Of their
superiors.
This does not mean that respectful
suggestions of plans for the better
nsent of the service or for the ad-
vancement of the country's interests
should be prohibited. It does not
mean that conrgess shall not have
the right to summon these officers
as witnesses. It does mean that the
suggestions and the testimony shall
be directed to the good of the service
and not to the personal behoof of the
suggester and the witnesses.
No administration could afford to
ignore, or to be at sword 8 points,
with General Miles, if the latter
should conduct himself with dignity
and would show the ability in
counsel and the care in executive
work that the nation has "a right
to expect from it's only Lieutenant
General. Adutant General Corbin
has made himself alnost.a necessity
to the war department by his mar
yelous KIN owledge of detail and by
his strict observance of military
rules, and this although his methods
and his personality are distinctly
,bnoxious not only to the public
hat may come in contact with him
i but to many Of his brother officers.
Ability is what counts is in the
army as we'll as elsewhere and when
displayed is sure to result in person
al advancement and personal intlu-
ence in the shaping of policies. -
