BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR DEMOCRACY.
We have heretofore taken occasion
to refer to the frequent assertions that
the National Democratic party, i'll
order to be successful, must neces-
sarily ride into power Oh the back of
disaster. A little examination into
the history of this country will prove
that the assertion is far from being
correct, and, on the contrary, it is
only the Populists and the Republi-
cans who need any such impetus.
The party's prospects, at thepresent
time, are brighter than they were the
two years in which it won the only
national victories since the civil war
In many places the country at large
is prosperous, but so it was in 1892,
which was the best year in business
that the country had ever known up
to that time. 1t is asserted that Mr..
Roosevelt is popular, but he never
can become as closely attached to
American people as was the late
James G. Blaine, so that all that is
necessary for the Democratic party
to do is to get together and nominate
a strong man on a common sense
platform and the voters will take
care of the rest. At the present time
there is little division among DEM
ocrats on living issues. The question
of coinage of silver seems to have be-
come a closed incident and the next
national platform will probably en-
tirely ignoreit. THERE'S unanimity
of opinion that the tariff needs re-
vision and on this point many Re-
publicans side with the Democrats.
The trainers of the Dingley Bill i'll
1896 attempted to couple the tariff
with reciprocity, but the Republican

FASHIONS FOR ELDERL Y LADIES.

No longer is it necessary for the elderly
woman to dress unbecomingly. Hand
some materials should be chosen, plain
rather than figured effects. Most women
OF mature age prefer black to colors, but
there are certain colors that are charm
ing for them, such as gray, gun-netal
and silver. A deep purple is also be-
coming and touch of white is essential.
To dress the neck softly is important,
and this is simple matter considering
the variety of dainty ties oflace and silk
that are exhibited. Two-piece costumes
coat and skirts, may worn, but the
coat preferable should be in three-quarter
length. A waist Of contrasting material
is rarely in good taste for the woman OF

The people of Bel Air and the
surrounding vicinity appreciate the
kind and courtly manners of both
officers and men of the Maryland
Brigade which isnow encamped here.
1t has been said that during former
encampments the department of
some of the soldiers was of such a
nature as to be exceedingly obnoxious
to the residents of nearby towns. 1t
is our pleasure to state that Bel Air
has been the exception and on the

MANY CASES DECIDED.
Illinois Supreme Court Sustains Ju-
dicfa1 ReappOrtiOnment Act
One Dissenting Opinion.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 1.-THE SUI
preme court handed down rs opinions
Tuesday. Their opinion sustaining
the reapportionment of the Fourth su-
preme judicial district was the most
important. The majority opinion,
signed by all the judges excent
Magruder, holds that the constitution
provides that but one district can be
changed at time, and that there is
no doubt that, by changes of popula-
tionin the state, the old Fourth district
was 100000 short on population as
compared with other districts, that
the reapportionment equalized the
population of the districts, and that
the new district was contiguous. They
also held that the change must be
made at the session of the legislature
preceding the election for Judges.
Judges Magruder handed down a dis
senting opinion.
The supreme court also decided that
the entire act of 1901, which provides
for the election of three provisional
judges of the circuit court and three
of the superior court in Cook county,
is unconstitutional. The case was
that of Thomas Hoyne, Joseph O'Don-
nell and George Mills Rogers, who
were elected provisional judges of the
circuit court at June election for
Judges this year, and who asked for
writ of mandamus to. compel Peter
Olsen, the county clerk of Cook coun-
ty, to certify to their election.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

The temperature rose early in the
week, and the 5th, 9th, and 7th were
moderately warm days in all parts of
the state. There was very little rain
during the week, and what there was
came in scattered showers, the heav-
lest being reported in Wilkin, Polk,
Mobiles, and Douglas counties.
In the northern half of the state the
week was favorable to the healthy and
rapid growth of wheat, oats, barley
and flax, though rain would be bene-
ficial for the late seeded barley and
flax and for gardens, especially on the
higher lands. Flax and barley are be-
ing seeded.
In the southern portions of the state
where the lowlands were flooded and
level lands very wet, the dry weather
allowed rapid subsistence of the wa
tiers and drying of the soil, so the PR
paration of the wet lands for corn,
millet, corn fodder and buckwheat has

BEvERlDeE CRITICIZED.
Japanese Scholar Says His orients
Prediction is Nonsense,

Chicago, July Ex-senator Albert J..
Beveridge of Indiana, was severely
criticized by a Japanese lecturer at the
University Of Chicago for reported
prophecy of war between Japan and
Russia. The senator was called a
false prophet by DR.. Toycfkishi Iyenaga,
who was lecturing to the students on
the far eastern question.
This oracle of Senator Beveridge,
the Indiana prophet, will miss the
mark" said DIR. Iyenaga. Japan's
part in the solution of the eastern
question simply is to act as an honest
broker between the two diametrically
opposed civilizations which are COM
ing into contact with each other-the
occidental and oriental. There is en-
nifty between Japan and Russia on ac-
count of the fragrant injustices COM
mtted by Russia to Japan after the
Chinese Japanese war, when Russia
seized the spoils that japan had gained
The clash of the east and west is sure
to come some time. But the question
will not be settled by Japan and Rus
sa alone. The war will he fought
by Japan, England ard the United
States on one side and Russia and
France on the other"
