A Sore-Headed Bear.

Count Cassini, the handsome and
Chesterfieldian Russian ambassador to
this country, has packed his luggage
and bought a limited through ticket to
st. Petersburg. 1t is natural to infer
that the car desires to see Casslni on
important business. Evidently the
Little Father of the Russians is not
pleased with the way his ambassador
has managed matters at our state de-
partment with reference to the kish-
inef massacre and the squatter soyer-
eighty asserted by the Bear in Man
churia.
1t is clearly UP TO Cassini TO tell his
czarship some things that the count
knows about the American people and
that his imperial master seems not to
suspect.
If, as may happen, Cassini should
get recall because he has failed to
wiring the neck OF the American Eagle
and cause it to walk crabwise to please
the cars sense of hunOr or selt-grat-
ulation, it will not help to make that
royal head lie easier in it's crown.
Uncle Sam means to have his opinion
of the Jewish massacre read and I'M
derStOOd in the tnroneroOm at st. Pc
tersburg and Will attain an appendix
to the effect that he has, in the Man
churian matter, adopted new motto,
which reads: Memo impune slam-a-
door-shut in my face."

the creators of his fortune to scuffle
for work and bread. He is not likely
to be hungry for anything, unless it be
ear-muffs, for some time to come.
1t is contended by our eastern news
paper friends that men of fortune owe
their first duty to the towns and the
operatives by whose help they have
made their fortunes. That is a most
far-fetched conclusion If it were true

try would owe the south much consid-

The Democracy Is No Derelict.

In the current number of The Forum
Is the quarterly review of politics from
the pen OF Mr. henry Litchfield West,
now the democratic member of the
board of commissioners of the District
of Columbia. Mr.. West is q trained
and accomplished journalist who
knows Washington and the currents of
national politics that are continent at
the capital as well as any man in the
country. He is also a careful observer
and prudent commentator.
We are disposed, however, to disa-
gree with his present characterization
of the democratic party as AN army
without general, ship without
captain" 1t is not difficult to imagine
that condition and, if we remember
party history accurately, it has often
been said of the democracy in times
past. But it is thoroughly mistaken
view. The democratic party has never
had a political boss or master. Lead
ers ii has had in campaigns and in adj
ministratiOns. Leaders it has had,
whether more or less competent, in
both houses of congress, either when
it had majorities or was the opposition

differentiates it from the republican
party is It's steady refusal 10 recog-
nize any mans right, because of his
personality or opinions, to be in him
self the democratic party. 1t is
party of equal citizens and not of
bOss-servitOrs.
If 1t appears to others as it does to
Mr. West, like an army without
general" it is because that one of
many possible generals in its ranks
has not yet been commissioned to com
mand the army. The army is all right.
The general will be on hand when he
is needed. That time Is not now, be-
cause the plan of campaign must pre-
cede the assignment of a commander.
The democrats of the nation are de-
termined to make a fight next year to
win. They feel that the country needs
a change of administration Their IN
SEPARATION is not greed for office, for the
democrats are accustomed 10 living
without offices, but they sincerely as

ming the next fight in the interests of
all the people as against the party and
policies that have fastened upon the
nation trusts, the money power and
official corruptions of multiform ras-
cality.
The present disposition of demo
Gratis is to find out what the republi
cans would like them to do and then
not do it. 1t will be time enough after
the trend of the next congress is
learned to talk about the kind of
campaign the party will make and the
general needed for the army through
the fight. We do not think our repub-
lican friends will have reason to com
plain when we reveal to them the
plan of our campaign and the man
who is to lead it.

Hanna on the Drivers Box.

The Constitution some time ago
warned the fresh-water element in the
republican party to keep an eye on
Uncle Marcus Hanna. Perhaps they
did so and have been greatly edited
by the swift and easy way in which
he has mounted once more the drivers
box of the republican tally-ho and
means to manage the coming presi-
dental campaign il his own and only
familiar fashion
It is all very well that the president
is a clever rough rider, but Uncle Mar
Gus is Sapient enough to see that re-
publican victory next year is not to be
gained by the stampeding and round
ing-up methods of the cowboy cult.
He is president enough to know that
the road over which he has plotted
the republican chariot a couple OF
times is very narrow and very treach-
erous at many points. He knows that
at certain well defined points the driv-
err has got to go slow and mighty
keerful!"
The understanding Of these things
has made him determine to take a
third term on the box and the backing
he was able to summon shows that all
others ambitious of the Job have had
to go away bac.A and sit down. There
is Wall street and the business world,
the trusts and monopolies, and the Ia
Dor vote-no man desiring to be elect
ed president on the republican ticket
next year could afford to ignore them.
The president de factO could not com
mand them and the great necessity OF
not losing them has caused the whole
presidential faction in the party TO
lay down to tho full house hand,
aces front and kings following, held by
Uncle Marcus.
Hereafter it will be only the eX-
tremest politeness chat will recognize
President Roosevelt as being in the
game except as stakeholder. He will
not write the platform, name the vice
presidential runnerup. or do any other
substantive act to win the fight other
than Boss Driver Hanna may dictate
from time to time
1t is a rather ludicrous outcome, to
be sure, of the advent and early adj
ventures of the strenuous president.
All those house-top procamations OF
being "a real president" and earning
just fame by an impartial devotion
to duty" have gone where the wood
bine twineth and the whip-poor-will
walls his lonesome lament. II will be
all Hanna from now until the ides of
November next year and the issue
will be clean-cut-"four years more of
Hanna, or no more"

A Typical Case Of Protection.

A millionaire shoe manufacturer in
South Boston, Mass, has shut down
his shoe factory and turned out his
1,200 employees so that he may take
his young and handsome wife TO Europe
to study music. She has been taken
seriously i'll of violent operate fe
yer since some of her soiree friends
have made her believe that she can
cultivate her voice SO as to make
Melba sound like six punched nickels
jingling on a string. Hence hubby
shuts down the brogan foundry and
turns 5000 people, whose living de-
pended on the labor of his 1900 work
men to root. hog, or die!
The hilarious and tuneful episode Is
causing some lively discussion in our
eastern contemporaries and even the
freedom shrieked" New York Evening
Post seriously asks: Has he a right
to do this?"
Why not? 1t is true, doubtless, as
stated, that the man began humbly,
worked hard, built up his business,
made millions off the capital he had
invested and the labor of his shoe
makers, and built up a settlement in
which they dwell. with ease and com
fort. Now that he has got money
enough to allow himself a vacation and
his wife unlimited vocalization in the
Conservatives of Europe, why should
he hesitate because his workmen are
to face idleness, their property depre-
ciate and the settlement lie founded
grow desolate? Have they not all
served the ends he had in view? Have
not his workmen for two decades voted
him the highest protection for his
goods and made all their fellows in
other employments pay unwarranted
profits to him on every pair of shoes
he turned out? And, now, being a mil
lionaire and having a possible success

INFLUENZA AGAIN
ANOTHER EPIDEMIC OF THE GRIP
is ANTICIPATED.
Many Gases Reported Already in this
Part Of the Country--A Common
Sense Remedy for the Disease
and Its Effects.

Owing TO the climatic conditions this
year many physicians fear another cpl
demic OF the grip, that form Of influenza
which so many have cause 10 remember.
In some cases this disease has run its
course with but little more severity than
hard cold, in others it has caused acute
sickness. In nearly every case il has left a
train OF after-effectsi more troublesome
than the disease itself. IL is Characteristic
OF the grip that ordinary medicines VIII
not cure il permanently. The patient
seems to have recovered and then suffers
relapse more severe than the first attack.
The trouble in such cases is that the dis
ease was not thoroughly eradieated from
the system by the treatment employed.
Miss {. A. Peck OF No. 633 East Four
tenth street, Minneapolis, Mimi, had a
very severe attack OF grip in 1889, and II
left her prostrated. II could not get over
that feeling Of utter exhaustion she says.
~ had no ambition to do anything and
any little exertion made me out OF breath
and tired out. grew thin, nervous and
irritable. Then decided TO try DIR. VIII
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People and the
first box made me feel better. -Four boxes
restored me TO my natural good health. "
The after-efiects OF the grip are often
worse than the disease and many times
they battle all efforts of the best physicians
to drive them out OF the system. Health is
shattered-the blood becomes poor, the
flesh falls away, the sufferer grows nervous
and irritable, and even slight exertion
causes shortness of breath. These are
dangerous symptoms and indicate that the
system is in a state that invites pneumo-
MIA, bronchitis or even consumption. DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People will
quickly restore the health after an attack
Of grip and expel the lingering germs, and
working through the blood, will render
the system proof against the disease. DR..
