enlargement for the work which. lies be-
fore us. To-day the Democratic party
needs to learn from the hero Of New
Orleans the lesson OF steadfastness; y
needs to learn from him not only that
to be right 20 more important than to De
successful, but that TO be right is the
best way to insure success.
IN party must have principles or II
can have no claim upon public con-
fdence; and how can it commend Its
principles better than by standing bS
them? Who will have faith IN the
creed Of party if the party stands
ready to barter away its creed In eA-
change for the promise of patronage:
A hating, vacillating course not only
fails to invite recruits, but 1t alienates
and drives away veterans.
It seems to us that this comes In very
poor grace from the man who led the
New Democracy The Democratic party
had been steadfast, had stood Loyalty by
ats principles until the convention Of
Chicago in 1896, but at that time, accord
ing to Senator Tiliman, New De
mccracy'' was organized. with new prin-
ciples, and it was Mr.. Bryan who pro-
claimed far and wide that free silve-
was cardinal principle Of Democracy,
and .'the paramount issue" of that cam
paigr. All other issues were subordi-
mated, and the party staked its fate
upon free silver as a cardinal principle.
But free silver is now a. dead issue, as
even the most Of its ardent advocates
admit and if the party would be stead
fast, according to Mr. Bryan, it must be
steadfast to a corpse. The great prin-
cirle of 1896 died and left the party
fcrsaken. None would be more delight
ed than The Times to see the party re-
turn to the principles of Thomas Jeffer-
son, and Andrew Jackson and remain
steadfast to them for all time to come

the struggle this institution has to make
to overcome the vigorous opposition of

is sometimes remarkable that the Uni

legislators against it, ana so powerfully
do politics enter into every considera ton
concerning it. 1t is well that there
should be movement to raise it above
