Moro or Les. Valuable Advice.

Moro or Less Valuable Advice.
The more or less esteemed New York
Evening Post winds up an elaborate
editorial of advice to the Democrats
with the following somewhat racy re-
marks:
In fine, the quest OF an artificial political
issue Is certain to be fruitless. II any
man could read the popular mind, he
would discover there the questions that
are to be dominant in the next campaign.
That Is. of course. beyond the powers Of
any political psychologist Yet there are
some surface Indications plain to all.
For one thing. 1t is pretty clear that tho
people are tired Of tawdry and Haunting
imperialism. Their senses are faded on
the subject Of the glory OF fighting q
feeble foe, and a nice little safe war
would now be distinctly unpopular. II
there is anything that Americans are
'siek" Of 1t Is the Philippines and all the
business Of the great career, whether we
want 1t or not" That is now common
subject Of ridicule and burlesque. Dis
raeli said that when the poets were
against him he knew that his cause had
collapsed. With us 1t is the cartoonist
and the comic paragrapher who serve as
that kind Of political barometer. and the

heroics about his ditch delivered" repub-

increasing as revenue falls. on the pecula-
tons and frauds revealed and suspected
among Republican oft1ceholders. on tbs
breakdown Of the stand patters" ana on
the fact that the bill collector has now
replaced the advance agent of prosperity.
In these things there are issues a-pIenty.
and the best hope Of the Democratic party
today Is to behave seemly, to live cleanly
and so conduct itself between now and
November Of 1904 that the country will
not be afraid Of turning to It, with or
without q burning issue, as the one al
tentative to the party In power. with
whose account Of its Stewardship such

providing for the referendum and in

thing more that Thomas Jefferson adj

adopt all the theories of Jefferson in u
thousand years. He was truly p propll-

his theories were derided In his day,
they are gradually being put into prap-

proper direction. The merchant ia

does not mean that if in the busy

could not get in in the day light

meat won't keep over night for it
will. Let both shops take a stand
and they will see that people will
prepare for the morrow.

and valuable business man. While
we greatly deplore his loss, we will
ever cherish his memory and will
remember his good acts and deeds.
It is hereby ordered that these res
olutions be spread upon the records

A News Service Without Parallel.

There is ample justification for
the claim made by The Chicago
Record Herald that it's readers en-
joy every day in the week, Sundays
included, a news service that is
without parallel in range and COM
pleteness. In addition to the indie
pendent news facilities of The
Record-Herald, that receives the
complete news service of the
New York Herald, the New York
World and the Associated Press
and when it is considered that it's
news columns are supplemented by
all the special features so popular
with its thousands of readers, it will
be seen that The Herald
holds unique place among the
great newspapers of the United
States.
