Not Fit to Govern.

When Grover Cleveland was elected
President the second time the first thing
he did was to withdraw from the Senate
the treaty for the annexation OF Hawaii
and order the American flag there to b
hauled down. The Democratic party ap-
proved this action as brave and patr-
otto. He prevented annexation a. long
as he could and the Democratic party
applauded every step he took.
Finally, in the second year of McKin-
ley's administration annexation was COM
pleted and the islands entered on d new
career Of prosperity. Now no Demo-
cratic speaker would dare to advocate
the surrender or evacuation Of Hawaii.
A few years hence it will be the same
with the Philippines.
A party that opposes extending the
area Of liberty and that advocates haul
ing down the American Tag where it has
been legally and rightfully raised is MOI
fit to be entrusted with the administer.
ton Of the government.

dent Cleveland, as against four months
and twenty days that it took the Repub-
hcans to pass the Dingley bill after the
inauguration of President Mckinley.
No less than 634 amendments were
made to the Wilson bill before it was
passed-and then. despite this enormous
number of patches to make the bill suit
all Democrats, President Cleveland view
ed it with the utmost disappointment
and said that it was marked with places
where the deadly blight Of treason has
blasted the counsels Of the brave in
their hour of might" The colossal fail
ure of this bill to produce enough reve-
niue to run the government, as We'll as the
general blow it inflicted on the industries
of the country, thereby driving thousands
OF men out of employment, was in sharp
contrast to the success Of the Dingley
bill in not only producing enough reve-
nue. but in giving employment to thou
sands of people out of work. and in re-
storing good times to the country.

DEMOCRATIC ANARCHIST.
Assassination Preached by an 1ncen-
diary "NiExer'' Halter.

II Democracy has returned to san
| ity," as Grover Cleveland asserts, it is
| certain the party has not yet purged it
self of something even worse than lnsan-
ity. Anarchists are a greater curse to
any community than lunatics, for luna
ties are often harmless to society; out
| anarchists. by their words and deeds, are
always a menace. Take the case of Con-
gresham j. T. Hefin, for Instance. He
is an Albanian with a mouth more dam
| gerous than a dozen Czolsoszes. The as
sassin of President Mckinley did not
| openly preach anarchism before carrying
out his purpose and thereby incite 9th
| ers to Stay public men. Hehin is more
cowardly. In q recent speech at Tuske-
| gee, Ala, the home of Booker T. Wash
| ington, and the negro school conducted
by him, Hefin said:
"There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker,
and if CzolgosZ or one of his kind had
thrown a bomb under the table no great
harm would have been don the coun-
try
OF the report that Booker Washington
was going to help to beat him for cleo
ton to Congress, Heflin said:
IF Booker takes a hand in this thing
| it will be one time | will ask him to steo-
cut. | will ask him to hands off, and
| you know we have a way Of influencing
negroes down here"
Helm. who succeeded Congressman
Thompson. had a fight with his Republi-
| can opponent, Captain b. w. Walker, on
| Sunday. Smarting under this. he attack
| ed Walker fercely in his speech. He de-
| scribed him as "a black and tan serpent
| kissing at the feet of honest, upright
Democrats" He said it was the desire
Of the Republicans to have Walker sent
to Congress SO they could say: Here's
a friend of Booker Washington, and it
shows how he is looked upon down there
and how the people uphold him."
ST Parker is elected President" he
said. land Booker Washington goes to
Washington, you will find him eating in
the kitchen instead of the dining room"
Helm said he refused to meet Walker
in joint debate because that would have
recognized him as his equal. He added
Il do not recognize my black and tan
as my equal. l will not lower myself to
the level of a black and tan who mingles
on equal terms with negroes"
1t avails Helm nothing to say his
bomb talk was intended to be %jocular.
The fact remains that it was incendiary
language, such as is made criminal by
the anti anarchist law recently passed by
Congress. The Democratic party has
much to answer for, and unless it muz-
zlcs such blatant niger haters as
Hefin it may have more crimes lail at
its doors. Hefin is one of the leaders
of the party in the South. and his utter
ances are an indication that Democracy
is, at least, not safe" even if it is now
"%sane," as Mr.. Cleveland would have the
people believe.

FORTY YEARS AGO.
BY Henery Gassaway Davis.

by I1enery GdSSaWay laws.
Qn his letter of acceptance, Mr.. Davis
bewails the fact that the per capita cost
OF administering the government has in
creased since the days Of Buchanan,
when it was $2.O1.)
I've wandered to the subject, John-that
note you sent TO NE,
Advising me that l have been put up for
our V. P
And 0, l can't help thinking, John, how
times are changing so,
1t costs us more to run things than some
forty years ago.
In honest old Buchanan's days, before
the civil war,
We didn't have the money, nor so much
to spend it for
Two dollars and a penny was the aver
age, you know;
Expenses have gone mp a heap since
forty years ago.
They say the country's grown in wealth
and territory, too,
But l ave been SO busy, John, these
facts l never knew;
When this was but a little land, ex-
penses were quite low
Assessments were not very high, some
forty years ago.
In fact, it's more than forty years, as
sure as you're alive;
Now, since l come to think Of it, the
lapse is forty-five:
In 80 Buchanan was the boss of all
the show
u might have been a candidate, some
forty years ago..
It's strange the country won't stand still,
that it will spread and spread
Why, l remember when it crossed the
Mississippi's bed,
And when we quelled the red man with
his arrow and his bow
Alas, but times have changed, dear John,
since forty years ago!
Sometimes, dear John, when l observe
that. soreness in my neck,
And hear the frantic calls that ask an
other heavy check,
l wish I'd run for office in the olden,
golden glow,
Fol it was vastly cheaper, John, some
IoEly years ago
To-day they say the railroads run to al
most every town,
They span the land from sea to sea,
crosswise, and up and down,
And where was once a wilderness the
busy whistles blow
That's why expenses have increased since
forty years ago.
They tell me we have islands now, all
scattered through the sea
All, John, the times to-day amt like the
times that used to be!
They say that folks use sulky plows
where once they used a hoe
These things make bills much higher,
John, than forty years ago.
We didn't have no steamboats, thea
not like these nowadays, W
No steel and iron liners, nor no cruisers.
anyways
l can't remember everything, but. John.
l know
The government costs more than it did
forty years ago.
They say that we have telephones, cleo
trio lights, and all,
And trolley cars, and miles and miles of
harvest every fall.
But notice the expenses, John! They
worry me, and so.
l wish that you had chosen me some
forty years ago.

DEMOCRATIC INDIGESTION.
Country Has Suffered Because of II
When that Party Was in Power.

Whenever the Democratic party has
had a chance at power it's course has
been like that of the donkey in the fable,
which died Of starvation while trying to
decide which to eat first, its oats or its
hay.
1t was this way when Buchanan was
President. and could not make up his
mind whether or not to suppress by force
the secession movement in the South,
and 50 postponed having anything done
until Lincoln could become President,
This dilatory policy was largely respon-
sible for the enormous cost in money and
lives of suppressing the rebellion.
When Cleveland was President the
country suffered quite as much from ag-
onizing uncertainty as to what the Demo
Gratis were really going to do, as from the
actual evils that they did do. On Meth
er the tariff nor on the money question
was there any unity of opinion amongst
the Democrats, and never was it posi-.

Hearst's Paper Makes Savage Attack

Hearst's Paper Makes val Attack
on Ex.Secretary Olney.
The wake on the Democratic ticket Of
1904 has begun, although it is some days
before the day set for the official funeral.
Among the protesting mourners, Hearst's
New York American attracts momentary
attention by the following truculent howl.
There is copied here only the opening
notes Of the performance:
According to the little-souled Olney,
| Attorney General in Cleveland's cabinet.
the war with Spain was a comical blum
| der, and the men that gave their lives
for the freeing of Cuba were fools that
had much better have stayed at home.
"Mr. Olney, by some unaccounta bic
error Of the Democratic las in this
campaign, has been making speeches in
| behalf Of Judge Parker, and this noble
| sentiment is one Of the things that he
has been saying.
"At Cooper Union last night, to a
meeting called under the auspices Of
| Democracy, he spoke with a nasty sheer
of our needless scrimmage with Spain
over Cuba" and again, later in his re-
marks, sneered at what he called in his
pleasant way that development OF lingo
ism and militarism which brought on the
scrap with SPAIN
IF MIR. OLNEY HAD BEEN EN-
GAGGED TO MAKE VOTES FOR MIR.
ROOSEVELT HE COULD NOT POS
SIBLY HAVE HIT UPON A BET
TER WAY"
This criticism might well be applied,
by the Democrats, to Mr.. Olney's entire
Cooper Union speech. In his comments
upon the Republican foreign policy, the
Philippine question and it's fnancia!
management, Mr.. Olney touched, with a
rash hand, the nerves of national honor
n pride. 1t was a sure way to pro-
duce a vast crop of voters for Roose-
welt. 1t is admitted that Olney spoke to
a silent house. 1t is not surprising.
