Grover Cleveland in his speech at the
Tilden Club the other night repudiated
Bryan, and now Bryan in his newspa-
per repudiates Cleveland. One repre-
sents Democracy of the past; the other
possibly does not represent that Of the
present. but he was the latest stand
ard-bearer OF the party. II is safe to
assume that neither represents the
ideals upon which the party is to base
its future Cleveland was repudiated
long ago. and since his retirement he
has uttered no sentiment which has at
tracted any followers He is almost as
thoroughly out Of party councils as IS
Andrew Jackson, and this attempt to
create new party sentiment by drag
ging him from his retirement has fail
cd. II there was ever a time for inesse
in handling Democratic politics it is
now. but be II said to the credit of
Cleveland that -sle knows no policy but
that Of brutal franlSness. He could not
speak upon the question of Democratic
politics without scoring Bryan and all
the isms connected with his name; and
this is calculated TO further divide the
warring factions Of his party.
Bryan would Have done better had he
ignored Mr.. Cleveland's utterances. But
he is like a petted schoolboy who has
stood at the head of his class, and has
been displaced. He has taken himself
quite seriously, evidently considering
only the fact that he has been the can
didate of his party for the presidency.
He forgets that he has been repudiated
twice by the American people, and that
this happened when ME was running on
a platform dictated by himself. So the
divisions are likely to continue. There
is every inducement for Democrats to
get together. and Il was supposed that
in Congress they would formulate def
mite policies preparatory to the con-
gressional campaigns this year; but
they have contented themselves with q
policy Of negation, and stand before
the country without definite princi-
lples. In this crisis. both Cleveland
and Bryan have shown their helpless
ness TO lead the party out of the
j, slough.

con SAVE THE KING

This is coronation week, and during
its progress Americans will smile toll
erantly, and remark that we do things
differently over here. II takes but
one day to crown our ruler, and we do
ii every four years. We take him fresh
from the people and return him TO
them without concerning ourselves es-
pecially about his future But this
does not prevent our watching the pa
Reantry across the water with consider
able interest, and this is heightened
BY the remem brance that our ancestors
once upon time used TO scramble for
place in the London streets TO catch a
glimpse OF some monarch as he passed.
The King will be crowned on Thurs
day. and il will be a spectacle worth
seeing. It must not be understood that
all the Americans who witness it are
in sympathy with monarchial instittI-
tions. We should go too, dear friend,
81 we had a chance. but we should re-
turn and enter into the next presiden-
tial campaign with ren3wed zest and
Interest.
The American representatives will
uphold the dignity of their country, and
pay tribute OF respect to their Eng
1ish kinsmen. They may even wear
knee breeches in Difference to custom,
but most of them will return loyal Re
publicans. and with increased respect
for our institutions. The King Of Eng
land is, after all, a mere nguehead,
and as far as real democracy DIS con
cerned. the English people are abso-
lutely self-governing. Royalty is not
imposed upon them, but is a patter Of
their choice. bat when it comes TO real
power, the King has not tlthe of that

save the King Which being inter
preted. means: God save the English

MRMBRRN DISCUSS
HORRORS OF WAR
CrueltieS Of Civil and Phil.
ippinO War Compared
HOuse Warmed Up By Lively Debate
On the Civil Government
Measure

Washington. June 24.-Debate on the
civil government bill warmed up in the
house yesterday and henceforth prom
ises to be of much livelier character.
The increased interest is due to the
injection into the debate of compari-
son Of the cruelties charged to have
been practiced in the Philippines with
those which occurred during the Civil
War. The subject has been lightly
touched upon once or twice before. but
attracted little attention until Mr..
Grosvenor, of Ohio. yesterday revived
the memory of the extremities to which
Grant and Jackson were put during the
rebellion. This was followed later in
the day by speech from Mr.. Mahon,
OF pennsylvania, in which he paraded
the horrors OF Andersonville and Libby
prisons. He predicted that in the com
ing elections the American people
would stand by the boys in blue"
Mr.. Grosvenor said that il every
thing that had been said Of General
Jacob Smith were true, he could find
its counterpart on both sides during
the Civil War. He then proceeded to
read report from General Grant to
the government at Washington, telling
OF the arrangements he had made to
carry desolation everywhere through
the Shenandoah Valley, to seize all
men under so years of age as prisoners
of war, to destroy crops and make the
valley "a barren waste
Before Phil Sheridan got through
he made it barren waste said Mr.
Grosvenor. He then read from sThe
Letters of Stonewall Jackson" edited
by his wife, a statement that Jackson
believed that the black flag should be
raised and no quarter given as the best
means Of resisting invasion. and say
ing that he had urged this policy upon
Lee. He also read telegram from
General Beauregard, urging the pas
sage of bill for the execution of pris-
oners. BY this means, the Telegram
read England will be stirred TO ac-
ton" 4L,s ...,.
Mr.. Grosvenor said he did not read
these things to rekindle the embers of
sectionalism. but to show how deplor-
able war always was.
When that bill was introduced in
the Confederate congress" interrupted
Mr.. Bartlett, of Georgia, had not Lin.
coin issued proclamation to seize all
the citizens of the Valley OF Virginia
and try them by court martial and
had they not been seized?"

RARITY OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY

One diminutive colored boy has
aroused more discussion in Sussex

the brutal and unpunished murder Of
Mrs. Aida Collins, near Laurel. Now,
because this atom of chOcolate-hued
humanity unwittingly attended one
service in the Franlford NJ. e. Church,
the people Of that town are split into
factions: there are quarrelings in fami-
lies in which peace heretofore reigned ;
erstwhile friends never speak as they
pass by. and the pastor Of the church
has been asked for his resignation.
The fact that the little Niger
doesn't go to church any more, and
doesn't want to. and probably never
did. does not in the least tend to light
en- the tension. And it is this very
fact which makes the whole affair Sc
