NEWSPAPER OPINION
The Democratic Outlook

From Memphis Commercial-Appeal.
Senator Tllman, while in Memphis
appeared TO be rather gloomy over the
prospects of the Democratic party.
Technically, the Senator has no right
to speak for the party because he left
II years ago and fought 81 bitterly
while a member of the Populite party
He is still a conspicuous member Of
the POpulite party, but on account OF
the frenzy fever of recent years the
Populists and Democrats have drawn
so close together that Senator Tillman
had no difficulty in affihating with the
Democrats. For awhile It was difficult
to tell tother from which. Senator
.Tillman thinks that the Democrats at
the present time have no policy, no
definite plan. and no great principle
to work for. He sees nothing for the
Democrats to do except "to be opposed
TO the general cussedness Of the Re
publican party" This was true In the
recent past. but it is no longer true.
The distinguished Senator has per-
mitted events and conditions to slip
by him. and he fails to apprehend the
changes which are going on, nor can
he welcome these changes because q
return to the original sanity Of the
Democratic party would leave him
stranded high and dry on the shores
Of political history. Both in hls inter
view and his lecture he expressed hos
tility to uhe idea of holding the Philip
pine Islands. which Is all the evidence
necessary to convince him OF being
behind the times and of riding back
ward. so that he can see nothing until
he gets past IL. The Philippine Islands
belong to this country and it were as
wise or foolish to talk of giving away
or selling the State of Ohio as 1t is to
talk of giving up the Islands of the
archipelago Progressive and vital
nations are like churches inone respect;
they never part with rea. estate once
acquired Decaying nations, like de-
caying land owners, are the only ones
TO surrender or dispose Of their acres,
and they usually do this at a sacrifice.
Senator Til,man is entirely mistaken.
The element that forced itself into the
Democratic party where It never be-
longed. and which dominated for
awhile without policy or plan or pun-
ciple must surrender authority, and
as the comedians on the stage have it,
go way back and sit down" The
party is drifting back TO its ancient
moorings. having grown tired of wind.
enthusiasm and hysteria, and the old
principles will be brought down from
the lumber room into which they have
been temporarily cast and once more
exploited and fought for These prin-
ciples are too well known for enumera-
tiOn here Every Democrat under
stands what these principles were when
the Democratic party was a vital, ma
uonal and dominant force in the coun-
try and before its sanity and harmony
had been disturbed and destroyed by
the sonorous defamation OF Populis-
tic wind tanners.

sary in a delightful manner yesterday

and visiting club women contributed
in a great measure to the picturesque
ness Of the occasion.
There was a decided departure yes
terday from former anniversary exer-
cises. Heretofore. there have been the
presentation of amateur theatricals,
and elaborate programs Of a musical
and literary nature; this time, there
was a luncheon. followed by readings
by Mrs. Waldo Richards, of Boston.
About IT'S local club women and
their out-of-town guests attended the
bufet luncheon. which was served in
the parlors at l o'clock The choice
menu was prepared by the club women,
the chairman of the committee in
charge being Ms. Charles r. Miller.
AS the members arrived they were
welcomed by Miss Cornelia Bowman
the club president.
The second part of the anniversary
began at 2.S0 o'clock The president
called for order, and made a happy lit
tie speech. and then announced vio-

is strong and musical and under per-
feet control At times her hearers
were convulsed with laughter. and
then again, the tears would rise at
some pathetic bit.
Miss Isabelle B. Wales sang "A
Spring Morning" accompanied by Mrs
Jackson with violin obligato by Miss
Pyle. AS an encore she sang Spring
time" Then Mrs. Richards gave the
second part Of her program, which was
even better than the first The two
selections evoking the most applause
were Kipling's THE Native Born" and
The Story of Adam and Eve, Told by
the Bittlest One" The latter was de-
lightfully given, Mrs. Richards being
particularly happy in her juvenile Sc
lectione.
The anniversary was a club function
in every particular. The husband and
men friends we're neither invited to
the luncheon nor to the recital, and it
is safe to estimate that at least 500
women attended the latter. Visitors
were present from Philadelphia. Media,
Chester. West Chester, Kennett

The next event of Importance will
be the lecture on next Monday after
noon at o'clock by Professor Stock

ing, but they have no escort. If the
Wayfarer was permitted to use their
names he could furnish them any

announce that they would be pleased
to meet two good-looking young men
on the corner of Tenth and Market
streets at 2.15 o'clock tomorrow after
noon for the purpose of going skating,
provided there is skating In order
that there will be no mistake in the
identification the young men are re-
uuested to wear a small bow of baby

the girls will do likewise.

House and Legislation

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The defeat OF the amendment to the
canal bill in the House and the passage
of the bill by an almost unanimous
vote. put the House In a very curious
attitude. On its face It. indicates the
House to be absolutely impervious to
that part of the commissions report
which admitted the Panama route to
be the best in most respects. except
on the question of price, which has
been reduced 10 make 1t the cheaper
and is determined to have the Mica
ragua route whether it be the worse
of the two or not-which is undOubt-
ediy the case with many supporters Of
the measure.
But che passage of the bill is accom-
plished on a plea which leaves that
body in still more peculiar attitude.
Perhaps the bill is not right, some of
its supporters said "but we must pass
it anyway and let it be amended by
tho Senate lnasmuch as the same
plea was made for the passage of the
Philippines tariff bill, it seems to be
a habit of the legislators in the lower
branch. Il amounts to a confession of
inability to legislate intellgently. I'VE
are incapable of amending this bill, -
say the Representatives. 1t must be
iammed through, and We will depend
on the wisdom of the other branch to
see it put into proper shape"
With this result Of the House having
ceased to be a deliberate body is it any
wonder that the Senate does not show
much respect for its decisions? And
can the people be expected to entertain
any other sentiment for it?

GENEnAL SATISFACTION

The press with general accord has
had only complimentary words for the
gentlemen selected by the President to
represent this country at King Bd-
wards coronation After a pleasing
comment on the qualifications Of
whitelaw Reid. the Washington Post
comments in the following strain on
the two other appointments.
OF TIE two military appointees-Gen-
eral Wilson for the army, and Captain
Clark for the navy-th country viii
say nothing but good. They are men
who. in their respective lines, have
distinguished themselves by actual eN-
Dloits and achievements in the stren-
uous and tragic field of war; Both Of
them have done things and done them
we'll Both have been under fire in
their country's cause and both have
exhibited the highest qualities Of the
soldier II would be difficult to sug-
gest a more felicitious and at the same
time more richly deserved honor than
that which has been conferred upon
General Wilson and Captain Clark.
The expressions of opinion regard
ing the selection of General Wilson
are most flattering, and are especially
gratifying to the people OF Delaware
From these many utterances we quote
the following from the Philadelphia
Press.
General j. II. Wilson has just served
with credit and honor i'm China with
the associated forces of Europe. a
circumstance which undoubtedly weigh
ed inshis selection TO represent the
army at the coronation. His record in
the Civil War is brilliant beyond that
OF any graduate of West Point as
young, and no one who lins studied the
ability he showed as a cavalry COM
mander in the closing year Of the war
can doubt that IL the struggle had last
ed a few months longer he would have
reached high command. The wide
reaching enterprises with which Gen
eral Wilson was associated during his
absence from the army brought him
into contact with public men abroad.
Returning TO military service in 1898,
he has distinguished himself by mis-
civil administration in Cuba and his
military. service in China. He comes TO
