HELP DEMOCRATS REMEDY REPUBLICAN EVILS.

Mir. E. F. French publishes a letter in the Review this morning. in which ne prescribes socialism as a remedy for every fault of government. The conditions under socialism, pictured by MT. French, no doubt will be found very attractive to some of our readers, but we consider it an impracticable dream or hope. We now have in the United States the best system of gov ernment known to the world. It is based on the wlil of the people, by whom all officials, from President down, are elected. A new congress is elected every two years, and if con gross is allowed to long pursue a course which endangers the interests of any class of our citizens the fault is with the people who elect them. The laboring class-miners, mechanics railroad men, and farmers cast large majority of the votes and the responsi- .llty Tor any deylaLion in government rom the principles on which our lore lathers founded it, is as much or more attributable to them as to any one else.
 We agree witt ~Ae writer that unUC- sirable conditions have obtained in lhe government of this country during
 Ee lie time oi the IepuDncan party, and especially since sucn men as MaiA A r.anna have taken it's control. There nas been too much reliance in the
 sull dinner pail and let well enough alone syren songs Of Hanna and his hind. The democratic party for eighty years administered the affairs of Ihis government along the lines marked plainly by Jefferson and other statesmen of his day. If those who propose socialism, a labor party, or a party by any other name would join the democratic party in its effort to abolish the protective tariff system, winch is responsible for the trusts, to return our government to it's democratic simplicity, to combat i'm peria4.sm and the other evils now be- ing upheld by the republicans, many of the wrongs of which they justly com plain would be remedied.

MIR. ClEvElAND'S APPEARANCE.

The opening of the Tilden club in New York last week brought together many distinguished democrats. The occasion was a pronounced ovation to both Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill. MT. Cleveland made a speech in which he took a fall out of MT. Bryan and the principles for which he more distinctly stands. There was talk of Cleveland as the candidate in 1904, but the ex-president said no and de clared that he was content with his present retirement Mir. Hills speech was notabl plea for harmony and he suggested many great and important issues on which all democrats could be brought to agreement This appear ance of Cleveland was the first time in five years that he has attended a political gathering of any kind, and 1t has attracted much attention. The democratic party could never be per suaded to again accept MT. Cleveland as its leader. The Louisville Courier
 
 of MT. Clevland as the appearance of the deaths head at the banquet. This probably very nearly describes the sentiment of the country. Cleve- land had his day and time, but demo- crats want no more of him. If the purpose of inviting MT. Cleveland was to launch lis presidential, boom those who planned it will certainly be dis appointed. Cleveland is at one extreme end of the democratic party and Bryan is at the other, as measuring party differences; neither is available to cement the democratic strength The candidate in 1904 must be a man TOT whom the Clevelandites and Bryanites can do battle in harmony. and the plat form must be acceptable to both wings east and west.

THE PRESIDENT TURNED DOWN.

President Roosevelt finds himself be- tween the devil and the deep sea " He is between the fires of the sugar trust and the trust of the beet sugar producers of the country. It is now conceded that the Cuban reciprocity bill, for which Roosevelt and his mar. tyred professor, McKinnley, stood sponsor to the people of Cuba, will fail to become law. This, above all oth- CT bills proposed in the present con gress, was known as the administra- don's favorite measure. It is perhaps the most just measure that has been i2troduced during the sessions is is endorsed by probably three-fourths nf the people or the United States; it is relief bill, without which the govern ment of Cuba, set up by this country and guaranteed protection, will go tot tering, if not to destruction, certainly to the most humiliating embarrass- ment
 Administration senators openly ad- init their inability to secure 8 majori- ty in the senate for the reciprocity bill They admit that they have no hope of passing it.
 The President is said to be humih. ated. It is defeat plain and simple An unmistakable defeat The Presi dent has failed to carry his party with him on the most important issue of his administration up to date. He haf been slaughtered in the house of his friends.
 But it is a defeat for the party too It is a confession that the republican party is so welded to high protection ism that it can do nothing in the way of a revision or reformation. howve, slight.

 PENSION ROLLS.

It is reported from the office of the commissioner of pensions that the number of pensioners April 30 was 99S,3 and that there were 355,259 claims pending, of which 36,611 are due to the war with Spain.
 It is now thirty-seven years since
 e close of the civil war, yet the number of pensioners is the largest in our history. There has been a steady increase. with but a slight set back in 1S99-19O0 since 1878, when the total was 223,99S. This increase went on with accelerated speed towards the close of the decade 1SSU-1S9O. and was given a new impulse by the disability pension act of the year last named. During 1891 and 1892 it was at the rate of 100000 year, and in 1895 the total stood at 966.O12. By that time the force of the new legislation was fully developed, but additions to the rolls have continued as indicated by the to- tals for the years named in the follow
