MT. Cleveland in the Fight.

New Orleans States.
 What promises to be one of the most notable gatherings of Democratic leaders that has occurred in a number of years will take place in New York on the 18th of the present month in the home of the new Tilden Club, which has been erected at a cost of $250.0O0. EX-President CleVe- Iand has accepted an invitation to deliver an address on the occasion, and the speech will be the first he has delivered to a political audience since his retire mcnt from the Presidency, and 1t is said he will urge the Democracy to get to- gether and make a determined fight for Victory in the Congressional campaign.
 Democrats from every section of the country have been invited, and no sec ton or faction has been ignored. The gathering, according to the managers of the club. is not for the purpose of launching new Democracy, but to wei come all leaders of Democratic thought who may have been opposed to each other in the past and to make the occasion of the opening of the club direct effort to harmcnize various discordant elements of the party
 Invitations have been issued to 1900 Democrats and few declinatiQns have been received The rilden Club is an as- sociation of Democrats who hold to the principles of the great JeHerson, belleN- ing that those principles are as sound and as heneticent now as they were q hundred years ago. In their opinion all that is needed at this time Is the con structiVe atatesmanshp of JeIIe- sod or Tildcn to restore the Democratic party to the place it held SO long in thy hearts oi the American people. Among the members of the club are Democrats of all kinds silver and anti-silver men, Tammany men. Greater New Workers, Citizen Cnionists and Independents, who ignoring factional lines, find ample ground for uniting on the broader princi- ples of their party.
 To this gathering has been invited the most prominent Democrats of all sections of the country. such. for instance, as David B. Hill. Wm. J. Bryan. Senator Bacon of Georgia. ex-Secretary of State Richard Olnev. Mayor Collins of Boston pr. Felix Adler. John E. AIilburn of Buff faIo. Bourke Cochran. Henry George Bird s. Coler and Father Thos. J.

Editor The Advertiser.

Editor The Advertiser.
 The letters that have appeared in The Advertiser during the week relative to the political situation in this county are timely, and the discussion must be or benefit to the public and of interest to your readers. Your editorial comment m reply to my inquiry in Wednesdays pa- per was entirely satisfactory and clearly indicated the course by which the desired change could be brought about. The let ters of Economy and No Politician demonstrated the interest that they felt in the matter. and to my mind, definitely outlined the situation; though Econ omy's' sarcasm was, perhaps. little scathing The letter of "Oconee' was. however, not the utterance of one un- skilled in politics and unaccustomed to the present methods. "Oconee' declines to say whether or not he is in favor of a change Concerning this one vital ques- tion under discussion. "Oconee, evidently adept in the powers and limitations of county conventions and County Execu- tive Committees. has no opinions that he cares to place before the public. He prefers to discourse upon technicaiities and quibbles rather than upon living ma terial issues. Your editorial had already outlined how the change could be effect ed. and to 1t.

CoWARDLY POLITICS.

The Kansas City Journal puts up about the lamest excuse for Congress and the Republican Party that we have read. It discusses the meat trust situation fairly enough, taking the position that the only remedy lies in the removal by Congress of the tariff on Mexican and Canadian cattle, and then advances this singular argument to show why relief is not given:
 This is all plain enough, and yet Con- gress has taken no action toward remov- ing or reducing the tariff on cattle and probably will take none. Why is this? The reason is readily apparent. Congress or the majority in Congress-is unwill- ing to offend the farmers and cattle raisers Democratic leaders though in- sisting loudly on the removal of the cat tie duty. would insist much more loudly that the farmer and cattle raiser were being discriminated against if this duty were abolished. They would declare that the mills and factories were being pro- tected, while the stock farms and ranches were exposed to unrestricted competition from abroad The Republican leaders are not willing to give them this ad- vantage As consequence the only feasible remedy for a short market is not applied and existing conditions must continue indefinitely, or until better hay and corn crops enable the home supply to catch up with the demand.
 Isn't that about the silliest defence of a Republican Congress which is playing politics that a really sensible newspaper could well print? It is admitted that the removal of the tariff on cattle i'm ported from Mexico or Canada would very materially interfere with the extortions of the beef trust. reduce the price of meats and thus relieve the people of a burden which is becoming almost in- tolerable. All these patent facts are ad- mitted by The Journal, and then it as- sures us that the Republican managers prefer to take chances with the beef eaters of the cities to mourning the i'll will of the beef producers on the farms. '' There's politics with a vengeance. We are to infer that "the Republican mana gers" have taken a census of those who eat beef and of those who produce and sell beel and have satisfied themselves that the latter are most powerful and better worth counting. If they remove
 the tariff they will incur the i'll will of
 the trusts. as well as of the farmers, and
 the two are too powerful for the ordinary | Republican politician, IL is a pitifuI
 and disreputable exhibition of political
 cowardlce and subserviency.

The Demand of the Times.

 The demand on the times is for practi- cal education-the education which its one for doing something. This is an age of activity, an age of accomplishments. and any system of education that does not better equip one for the striving af- ter the necessities of life is indeed not worthy of support. At the South what is needed is a system adapted to the con dtions of the people. When this high point is attained. then we shall see re- suits so long desired.
