DECLINED BY THE PRESIDENT
French Legion Of Honor Cross Offered
~ to Dewey and Miles.

Washington. May 7.-President
Roosevelt has intimated to the French
government that he does not think it
is desirable for that government to
confer the cross OF the Legion of Hon
or upon Admiral Dewey and Lieuten.
ant General Miles. 4% IS Gs
This action has caused a sensation
in diplomatic and army and navy cir.
cles. Of1cers assert that. the presi-
dents decision was due to a wish to
further humiliate them and this time
to make the humiliation international.
Whatever may have been the reasons
controlling the action of the president,
it is certain that France will not, in
view of his attitude, award a cross to
either Of the officers. 4 I ..s

Small Boy Drowned.

The two little sons of julius Juberg,
a farmer near La Moure, were herding
the stock belonging to their father.
The little fellows took their horse,
which both were riding together, to the
river to water. The horse waded into
the stream, and made for the other
side with the two boys. One, the small
er, losing confidence, fell off and was
drowned. The other boy, about 10
years old, did not seem to realize just
what had happened, and it was two
hours after the occurrence before the
body was recovered.

reach its full development until it is
permitted by the government to work
ont its own destiny, as do the other
races with which il comes in con-

these sapient Democrats that it is the
Democratic party that is keeping the
negro from working out his destiny,
and a. long as he is disfrsDchised in
some states and burned in others the
government can render him little as
sistance in working out that same des-
tiny, except by just such bills as the one
the Democrats are now raising such a

THE DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK.

Former President Grover Cleveland
made a strong speech at the dedication
of the Tilden club in New York Thurs
day night. The appearance of this
able and popular Democrat with
Former Senator David b. Hill one of
the same class, is very significant It
means that the old crowd is coming
back into power. Note Mr.. Cleve-
lands defiant attitude when he said,
"No confession Of party sin should
therefore be expected from me. l
have none to make, nor dc crave
political dissolution.
These big guns IN the party are
shrewd They see that the other
crowd is on the run, and are hard
pressing them. They know that the
party Is beginning TO perceive that it
can expect more from man who has
twice led it to victory, like Grover
CLEVELAND. than a man who has twice
led il to defeat. like W. j. Bryan.
They are tired of fallacies and fancies,
and are struggling back to rally around
the old leaders. This causes the Re
publicans no alarm. Even though the
Democratic party We're at any time
large and formidable enough TO carry
the country, there will always b'
enough of the rabid, free silver ele
ment TO keep the party in Constant
turmoil, and make defeat inevitable
when the other fellows are in
power Just as the sound money VIM
has done for it the past several years
since the Popullist element became
dominant. The party is in such con
dition that when Mr.. Cleveland, Mr.
HUI and the others walk back in,
whole lot Of others are going 70 wall
right out, one of whom will doubtless
be Mr.. ". J. Bryan. who ough
by this time to be able to see hi
finish.
