The Democratic party doesn't care
especially whether Mr.. Bryan and Mr.
Cleveland forgive one another and get
together or not. The Democracy will
resume possession of itself and write
it's own platform without the consent
of either.
That's the most rational view OF
the matter. The Commercial APP
peal is getting down to business
now. What's the use to fight over
bosses when it is so easy to get a
new one who is willing to concede
few things, and why enter into
the folly of trying to kill one for
the sake of the other when there
are greater interests at stake!
There is no reason why the party
should give itself up to be tossed
about by the prejudices of the old
leaders,

AVAILABILITY A VICE.
n Trait of Our Nation That II said
to he the Dane of the Amer
lean Republic.

Amiability is our national vice. We
are a country contenteG. Satisfied
with our own superiority, fancied or
real, we have the sleek good humor
which is not disturbed by jibes or
sneers. Conceit has provoked content
ment. The result is an amiable pub
lie. That aggregation of humanity
which the politician speaks OF as 1.-THE
dear people" reverentially-in ante
election times-is pleasant in speech
and action, says the St. Louis Globe
Democrat. Crowds are seldom cross.
The excursion company is a notable
example. However much the excur-
sionists may be delayed or disappoint-
ed. there is little grumbliEg. Even
when they return late at night, tired,
WORKOUT from the day of recreation,
they growl good humoredly and are
merry in their misery. Seldom does
any assemblage of Americans degen-
crate into an angry company, and then
only under the flashing of passion at

party candidate. We get madden be-
cause of politics than from any other
reason. The election OF some far-off
individual whom we never saw and in
whose success nothing Of Importance
to ourselves is involved stirs the dregs
of discussion into very ferment of
furious strife. Political campaigns
bring always the dog days of 'infuri-
ated debate.
The vice of amiability is shown con-
spicuously in the behavior Of the
American audience. The audience has
lost the right to hiss. So seldom does
any auditor exercise this right that
when some rude but honest fellow
manifests his disapproval of actor or
speaker his neighbors, losing for the
nonce their amiability.-seek to put
him ont. We permit applause, but not
kissing; huzzas, but not cries of dis
approval. Our audiences have con-
strued the right Of criticism as mean
ing merely the right to compliment.
We are glad to read criticism in the
newspapers the next morning, but we
object to having 1t expressed audi
bly, at the time. Yet who can give
sufficient reason why an audience may
not express its disapproval as well as
its commentator? Surely dislike may
as well be expressed as like. The av-
erage audience is too polite, too anna

They have not managed the boats
with skill. and as "a consequence have
tipped over and split out. Not many
