Robbie belonged to a severely or

nothing, and trust God. He often
heard his grandfather remark that
he "trembled for Sinners" and this
expression saved Robbie in an hour of

One night there was terrific
thunderstorm. Robbie stood it as
long as possible, then fed to his
mothers room.
Robbie, are you afraid?" asked
she.
''No, ma'am."

PROSPERITY TO BURN.
4 Period Of Enormous Expenditurs,
hut she People Are Getting
the Good Of Il.

There are conservative men who hold
that there Is such n thing as too much
prosperity, and that is what the coun-
try is now having. These men explain
that during periods when there is en-
ployment and money for all we acquire
reckless habits In expenditure and fail
to save against a rainy day. With such
prosperity has come an unnatural de-
sire to make money quick, SO that the
mass of people who could save little
money are trying their luck in some of
the many advertised schemes, in which
they are sure to lose all they invest.
There can be no doubt that thisis pc
riod of enormous expenditure. Nor is
IL confined to those who try their
chances in all sorts of ventures; the
OUTLAWS which great railroad corpor-
ations are making are so enormous
that the figures appall. The officers
of such corporations speak of expend-
ing $s0,000.000 here, and $70,000,000
there, as IL millions were simply tens
of thousands. Enterprises are taken up
by men who have reputation for cool
headedness that would few years ago
have been regarded as the conceptions
of wild men. With all this there is
the spirit of speculation, which reaches
people in every walk of life. They risk
money, and some Of them risk money
which they will never get back. While
the savings banks, trust companies and
other places where people deposit their
| surplus earnings show large gains, 1t
Is probable that people spend much
more freely than they did when times
were dull. They have so much more to
spend, and spending is the style. And
it is the spending which prolongs the
season of prosperity. If those who
get money did not spend, but put theil
savings into banks, there would soor
be. no business to keep labor employed
and the money which fills the channels
| of trade and industry would be col
lected in the reservoirs-the banks.
The prolonged season of prosperity
may have it's drawbacks. To those who
sec an end of that season the reacton
is painful to contemplate, yet most
people will say. let us have an extern
sion of prosperity with its attendant
evils, rather than return of a period
of closed factories, profitless enter
prise, and hundreds Of thousands OF
idle men and women. Better lose some
money in uncertain enterprises than
have no money for any purpose. Bet
ter that great corporations spend tens
of millions in improvements than that
their business should dry up and their
employees be turned to idleness. II
anyone thinks that prosperity is get
ting unpopular with the people, sup
pose n political party be induced to
extol calamity and deprecate an extern
sion of the era of prosperity. 1t
would be as ruinous to such party's
prospects as an attempt to make q
campaign on the issue of 16 to 1.

BANQUET OF DEMOCRATS.
Love Feast Of the Faithful and the
Effort to Bring About Party
Harmony.

The recent democratic banquet al
Chicago seems to have been unattend
ed by the most prominent men Of the
party. For regrets were received from
Grover Cleveland, w. j. Bryan, David
b. Hill. Richard Olney, Adlai Steven
son, Horace Boies, Senator Bailey and
M. Z. ingalls,. These gentlemen all
had, we do not doubt, good reasons for
not being present, but their absence
nevertheless dimmed the brilliancy OF
the occasion. One of the most distress
ing things about democratic gather
ings these days is that it seems to be
necessary to muzzle so many people.
Looking for harmony, it is, of course,
impossible to say anything about
either Bryan or Cleveland. 1t Is es-
sential that you should forget the past,
and indeed pretend that you never
heard that there was past. SO that
night the toastmaster announced
that letters of regret had been re-
ceived from the men mentioned above,
but he did not read any of the letters,
This unusual practice was undoubted-
ly made necessary by the fact that the
letters did not consist with one an
other. Two or three years ago the
Bryan letter would have been read as q
matter of >course Ten years ago the
Cleveland letter would have been read
amid cheers and applause. But now
neither one can be read.
The principal speakers were Mr.
Shepard, of Brooklyn; Judge Harmon
and Mayor Harrison, of Chicago, and
Congressman DeArmond, of Missouri
All the gentlemen wanted harmony
And that is a good thing to have, even
If you have to fight to get IL. Mr.. De-
Almond was convinced that there
would be no trouble about finding q
presidential candidate, and he was
equally sure that he "must be one who
was in the democratic column in DC
and again in 1900" Probably he is
right. Though the truth of history
compels the assertion that there was
no democrat of presidential size in the
democratic column in either of those
years who did not in his heart Know
that he was where he had no business
to be. We suggest further that 1t is
mighty poor way to get harmony to
declare that all democrats who refused
to march under the banner of repudia-
ton by that act disqualified them
selves as democrats. But, of course,
we understand that the situation Is pc
culiar. Regularity, as Il is called,
counts for much. And IL q Democrat can
be found who, though he disbelieved
in the Bryan fallacies, yet, for other
and honorable reasons, stuck to the
party, he will probably stand better
chance than the man who agreed with
Mr.. Bryan that the money issue was
the only one, and who fought free sill
YER. We hope our friends will get to-
gether. But they must not Se too UNI

THE NEW DEMOCRATIC LEADER


Senator Arthur Pue German has re-
sumed his old place as democratic
leader of the senate without days
delay. Senator Jones steps out. SEN
ator German steps in. The democratic
party needs a leader, and Senator Cor
man, we may add, after four years OF
unwilling private life. has an uncom-
monty sharp appetite for leadership. :
His tact and his silence succeed the
bullying and the believing Of Jones.
Where Senator Jones paused over pub
lie questions Senator German will
handle them. Senator Jones wanted
the public to know he was leader
Senator German will be satisfied IL the
democratic party silently but surely
knows it is led. The Maryland senator
is rational He knows what cannot be
done, in a public and party leader as
important as knowing what can be
done. He understands the limits OF
party action. If he is the keen politi-
clan in every fiber, he is not crude
demagogue, says the Philadelphia
Press.
He plays to the floor of the senate
and not it's galleries. He understands
the necessity of conducting public
business; though he is not always
awake and aware of the wisdom and
necessity of considering public issues
| in the light of public needs instead OF
party necessities. He is but too often
| too anxious to succeed as n democrat
to be willing to do his duty as sena-
tor, and he has always believed that
politics was question of manipula-
ton and finesse, forgetting that what
is possible and serviceable for the man
ngement of ward or district utterly
breaks down in the wide sweep of ma
tional affairs, whose wider orbit is
swayed by great forces and not to be
controlled by small devices.
Whether the useful tuition and tute-
lage of defeat and seclusion have
taught Senator German all this re-
mains to be seen, now that he returns
to the senate after four years. His
party needs new policy as much az
it needs new leader. Will Senator
German be wise enough to provide
one? Four years ago he was unwise
enough to obstruct the ratification OF
the treaty of Paris, and fell into an
error which even Mr.. Bryan was
shrewd enough to avoid. Has Senator
German learned from experience and
defeat? Two treaties are before the
senate. Both are national. Neither
is partisan. Any true American adj
ministration, republican or democrat
ic, would negotiate both. Cass or
Seward, Marcy or Blaine, Fish or
Olney would have been proud to secure
either the Cuban or the Colombian
treaty. Are those two keen, sharp eyes
Of Senator Germans wide enough
apart to know this and to act upon it?
Has he the high leadership which
knows and understands that men and
parties win by being greater than par
ties and wiser than craftsmanship? -
If Senator German is equal to this
he will begin his democratic campaign
with a stroke which will place him in
control OF his party and make him a
power in the land. If he gives to OBJ
struction the strength that should 60
to constructive policy his future,
like his past, will be one of Intellectual

tions of current events. They were
humorous in character, and n good
many of them appeared in his paper.
Everyone said they were remarkably
clever, indeed quite superior to any
furnished by the staff artists. The
family all enjoyed the pictures great
ly, and they were the subject of much
favorable comment after every issue
of Mr.. Winters paper.
81 believe" he himself said one
day, that this Henry Page Esmond
has the making of a great artist in
him. Those sketches of his are just
bubbling over with fun, and his wit
is keen and delicate. l believe his art
will find expression in something
higher than caricature, too" And
with that Mr.. Winters launched forth
into long and learned discussion of
the principles of true art in general
and Mr.. Henry Page Esmond's draw
ings in particular, with which the
family were much edited, although
no one pretended to understand It,
least of all Dorothy. who listened re-
spectfully with her head on one side
and a curious twinkle in her bright
eyes.
"I'll tell you what, Dot" continued
her father, "I'm going to invite him
to dinner some day--I've never met
him myself yet--and then you can
show him some Of those queer cows
you used to draw"
The idea of inficting these crudi-
ties upon the artistic vision of this
rising man was excruciatingiy funny,
