ization of the Democratic party
under the dictation Of Grover
Cleveland l. arousing opposition
among the Bryanites and threatens
TO drive that element of the party
to the support of Theodore Roose-
welt for the presidency next year.
A close political friend of Mr. :.
Bryan Is credited with saying that
if Mr.. Cleveland gets control of
the party Bryan and his party will
support Mr. Roosevelt. 1t IL now
time for loyal Democrats to have
both of these leaders and alterna-
/ ting boilers, who would subordi-
nate the good of the party TO their
own selfish am billions, ''go away
back and sit down" neither of them
can lead the Democracy to achieve
ment for the good of the country
but would destroy the party rather
than see the other lead it TO vic
tory.
Mr. Cleveland, more nearly than
any other man calling himself a
Democrat, could marshal a crowd
Of mugwumps, gold bugs, trust
bugs and misguided Democrats,
and succeed to the presidency in
1905. He would not, however. be
Democratic president and would
be preferred to Roosevelt by the
South only because of his sound
position respecting the race ques-
ton.
As To Mr.. Bryan, recent threats
from his faction disclose him abso-
Iutely incapable of advancing the
party in or out of the lead, and the
sooner he goes TO Mr.. Roosevelt
the better for all concerned. except
Roosevelt himself
If Mr.. Cleveland can win, the
South is willing to help him to dc
it anything is preferable to the
return of Roosevelt
Commenting upon the threaten
ing letterof Mr. Bryan ; friend, the
Brooklyn Eagle, a strong partisan
of Cleveland, says editorially.
There can be no objection to
their supporting Mr.. Roosevelt III
1901, fran the strnd point of the
reorganizcrs. Mr.. Bryan had the
support of those for whom Mr.
MetcaIf speaks in 1896 and in 1900
| If Mr. Roosevelt should have their
support in 1901 they could not get
further away from Democratic
principles than they did in 1900
and 1896
IF the discussion in favor of the
return of the Democratic To Dem
ocratic principles and To Demo
cratic leadership should have the
effect of bringing the new Repub-
licanism of Roosevelt and the pas

gether in 1901, or ut any other time,
the question of their ability TO get
along with one another would be
their concern and the concern-or
1t least, the soiicitude-of no 9th
ers.
The grayitation of conservative
and preventative influences in one
direction and of radical influences
of shock, experiment and innova
ton in another direction is, in fact
strictly natural. Natural move

They know what they want when
issues or alternatives are plainly
laid out before them. They make
their choice under such circum-
stances and it is pretty likely to
be a wise choice. Mr.. Metcalf and
Mr. Bryan are assisting them to
learn what the issues are and what
the choice between them involves
and implies"

MISTAKE OF MANKIND.
1t Lies I'm Doing Only as Well as We
Know How, When We Should
Do Better.

Doing as well as we know how is or
considered a very creditable
performance One who can honestly
say that he has done as well as he
knows how is likely to take credit to
himself for his doing; and, in passing
Judgment on another for his conduct,
we are inclined to commend him if he,
or if we can say that he has done as
we'll as he knows how. Yetjusther is a
common mistake of mankind. All of
us ought to do better than we know
how. Doing only as well as we know
how may be lack and failure on our
part, says the Detroit Free Press.
Doing better than one knows how,
doing better than ones best, is the du-
ty and the practical attainment of ev-
cry person who wants to fill his place
in the world and help his fellows as
he should One who expects to be linn
tied, in his work and in his endeavors.
by the best that he has done, or by the
best that others have done, or by what
he can do, is practically without the
noblest ambition, and certainly with
out the highest aspirations. To be
stopped by the thought Of the impossi-
BILE is to be held within the bounds OF
the ordinary and the commonplace.
All substantial progress in this
world is by doing better than one
knows how. Every great explorer ano
discoverer and inventor and pioneer
and master missionary. in all lands
and on all seas, and in all ages, has Sc
cured to the world and to his fellows
results and advantages OF priceless
value, and has proved himself a bene
factor of his race, because he was no
limited by precedents and possibilities
but was determined to do better thai
his best, better than he knew how.

BURIAL CUSTOMS CHANGE.
The Gloom of Funerals Has Be en- Re-

people, had to have its sombre hearse.

Fifteen years ago such sight as a

though they frown upon such an open
lack of respect to the dead, the people
here are gradually working up to con-

with perfect equanimity, and it can be
said with truth that the old fashioned
funeral is a thing of the past
''The absence of that depressing atmos-
phere and general suggestion OF the

was the undertaker's duty to repair to
the house a few hours before the time set
for the funeral and drape everything IN
the room where the body lay-mirrors,
pictures, mantel, windows and the bier
with black Grape. Daylight was al
most wholly excluded, and the entire
place wore such a doleful appearance
that a person of any imagination and
susceptibility could not remain in the
house long without having a touch OF
the blues.
To-day almost no Grape is displayed

old-time insignia Of death at the front
door is replaced in most cases with
wreath of flowers or ivy, while the in

bright and attractive by the use of flow

A Small State With a Big Scandal.

When the people of Delaware con-
demned his lectures and refused TO
listen to them, the late Robert u. In
gersoll declared in retaliation that
Delaware was composed of two coun-
ties at low tide and only one at high
tide: that her inhabitants were mostly
oysters and they wouldn't stay if they
had legs to get away with. Small and
insignificant though she may be, Della
ware certainly bears off the palm to-
day for a record of political corrup-
ton and scandal. George KEENAN, de-
clares in the Outlook that the buying
of votes in the Addicks' senatorial
campaign last fall was open and noto-
rious: that Mr.. Addicks probably
spent not less than $780, at the time
and S73G, 600 in 1902 and that he him
self has boosted that he spent over
$3.50, 600 to make Delaware Republican
as the basis of his demand to be chos-
en- one of her senator's His with
drawal this year from the contest does
not greatly alter the situation, since
the condition is that he shall name the
Republicans to be elected, thus secur-
ing the dictatorship of the state. The
controversy is still unsettled, q ballots
having been taken in the general as
sembly at Dover without result; but it
would seem that any state, however
small or whatever its population,
would rise and shake off such debasing
influences as these A Democratic
candidate, if he is also an honest man,
ought to be preferable, in the view of
any decent Republican voter, to such
unprincipled politicians.

Voters Practically Disfranchlsed.

The announcement of Secretary OF
State Fleetwood that in canvasslng the
returns of the referendum vote today
he can count only the votes that have
been certified to him by the county
clerks, means that the voters of those
towns whose clerks neglected to send
the result of the vote to the county
clerk within the time prescribed by
law, were practically DISTINGUISHED SO
far as their voice with reference to the
choice between prohibition and local
option and high license was concerned.
This may seem to be rank injustice,
but the secretary of state plainly has
no other alternative, as a moments re-
Election will serve to show. The lndi
vidual voter is required to cast his bal
lot on election day during certain hours
and though he goes to the polls only a
minute after the ballot box has been
declared closed he cannot vote. 1t Is
also necessary to prescribe the period
in which returns may be sent to the
county clerk and in turn to the secre-
tary of state to be counted and votes
not sent within that time cannot be
counted, any more than the vote of the
single individual can be counted after
the prescribed period for voting has
ended.
Fortunately the result of the contest
over the referendum in the state as
whole will not be changed by the de-
reelection of the town clerks concerned.
1t is easy to see, however, how the Will
of majority of those who voted IN the
entire state might have been defeated
by the failure of few town clerks IN
larger towns to make returns to the
county clerks within the period named
by the referendum law itself.
We take no stock in the suggestion
by some of the exchanges that there
was colored gentleman secreted IN
these clerks coal bins" for they are
honest men and above suspicion among
those who know them. In one instance
the returns were sent direct to the sec
rotary of state instead Of the county
clerk, and there is every reason to be
lieve that their negligence was the re
suit of msconception of the law or lack
of knowledge of its provisions.
No harm has come from their failure
to act in the present instance, but the
example serves to show how important
it is that public servants be thorough
" posted with reference to ther duties
particularly in connection with cleo
lions. Burlington Free Press.

Probably no one in the theatrical pro-
fession has been more successful mas
made more friends, or is any better
known than Hi Henry. From one end OF
the United States to the other he is called
the millionaire minstrel king. Mr.. Henry
is wise in a great many things, one OF
which is the keeping of his health. Loss
of sleep, irregular meals, all kinds OF
weather, and the mental anxiety neces,
sary to successfully pilot his large and
expensive company, last year almost cost
Mr.. Henry his health. He did not linger
one moment in determining what to do.
He took "Blood Wine" and it completely
drove out of his system the tendencies
to sickness and disease. These are MI.
