Not Fit tn GOveyu.

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 be
hauled down. The Democratic party ap-
proved this action as brave and patn-
otto. He prevented annexation as 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 a 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 flag where it has
been legally and rightfully raised is not
fit to be entrusted with the administra-
ton of the government.

dent Cleveland, as against four months
and twenty days that it took the Repub-
icans 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-
nue. 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 INDIGESTION.
Country Has Suffered Because Of It
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 so 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-
BILE to forecast just what would be done

months to work up and pass their Will

DEMOCRATS AT WAR.
Hearst's Paper Makes Savage Attack
on Ex-Secretary OIney.


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, Hearsts
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 BILE
error of the Democratic mana gers 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 mlitarism which brought on the
scrap with Spain
"IF MIR. OLNEY HAD BEEN EN-
GAGGED TO MAKE VOTES FOR MR..
ROOSEVELT HE COULD NOT POS
SIBLY HAVE HIT UPON A BET
TER WAY"
This criticism might we'll 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 its financia,
management, Mr.. Olney touched. with a
rash hand, the nerves of national honor
and pride. 1t was a sure way to pro-
duce vast crop of voters for Roose-
welt. 1t is admitted that Olney spoke to
silent house. 1t is not surprising.

Poverty in Free.Trade England.

1t was stated in the Manchester City
Council few days ago that 10000 to
$4,000 people in that city were ON the
verge Of starvation and that similar con-
dtions prevailed in London and other
large cities of the United Kingdom. Jo-
seph Chamberlain has just stated in q
speech that there are 1,O00,OO0 fewer Ia
borers in the United Kingdom now than
in 1851, and that the capital OF the farm
ers has fallen $1,000, COCO that 49,
600, 600 people are underfed, while Amer
lea, Germany and other foreign countries
are prospecting Neither the present in
dustrial condition of free trade England,
nor the condition Of the United States
when it got dose Of free trade during
the last Democratic administration in
1893 1897, offers any promise of good
that could be wrought by Democratic VIC
tory in 1904.

DEMOCRATIC ANARCHIST.
Assassination Preached by an Incen-
diary "Nixger" Halter.

diary "NiY2ero Halter.
If 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 insan-
ity. Anarchists are greater curse to
any community than lunatics, for luna
tics are often harmless to society; but
anarchists, by their words and deeds, are
always menace. Take the case of Con-
gresham J. T. Heflin, for instance. He
is an Albanian with 4 mouth more dan
gerous than a dozen Czolgoszes. The as
sassin of President Mckinley did not
openly preach anarchism before carrying
out his purpose and thereby incite 9th
ers to slay public men. Hefin is more
cowardly. In a recent speech at TuSke-
gee, Ala, the home of Booker L. Wash
ington, and the negro school conducted
by him, Heflin 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 done the COM
try"
OF the report that Booker Washington
was going to help to beat him for cleo
ton to Congress, Helm said:
''If Booker takes hand in this thing
it will be one time 1 will ask him to step
cut. 1 will ask him to hands off, and
you know we have a way of influencing
negroes down here"
Hefiin, 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
friend of Booker Washington, and it
shows how he is looked upon down there
and how the people uphold him."
"If Parker is elected President" he
said, "and 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:
II do not recognize any black and tan
as my equal. I will not lower myself to
the level of black and tan who mingles
on equal terms with negroes"
It 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 "nigger'' haters as
Hef1in it may have more crimes laid at
its doors. Hef1in 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

AN EMBARRASSING TRUTH.
Jealous Parker Man Thinks Bryan q
Danger to the Party.

In the course Of a political campaign
the truth will come out at moments and
i'll quarters most unexpected. Some men,
bers of the party more honest and can
did than the rest will speak out and utter
truths that must be most embarrassing
to the party, and which, Like fash of
lightning, reveal objects and purposes
that before were shrouded in grateful
darkness. Such effects must have been
produced by the utterances of the honest
and able editor of the South Bend Times,
one of the most influential Democratic
newspapers in northern Indiana, and
these utterances are worthy Of more
than a passing notice because they re-
veal condition of things within the
ranks of the Democratic party sugges-
tive of its hopeless dissension and deca-
dence.
Mr.. ]. B. Stoll, the editor of the Times,
comes out openly in advocacy of the cleo
ton Of Parker and Davis, not on the
ground that they stand for principles or
measures which are not also advocated
by Roosevelt and Fairbanks, but for this
one and chief reason: that the election
of Parker will effectually and permanent
ly kill Bryan and all that Bryan repre-
sents in the past and will represent in
the future. Among other things, Mr..
Stoll says:
Parker and Davis. triumphant in Novem-
ber VIII put quietus on the radical de.
An engaging personality and persuasive elo-
Quence may, under certain conditions, popu-
larize a project fraught with incalculable
danger to our institutions and lead to the
destruction Of the republic itself.
Thus it is plain how Mr.. Bryan's past
and future Democracy is valued by the
friends Of Parker, yet Mr.. Bryan was in
vited to stump Indiana ON the theory
that he could induce his former followers
to vote for the very candidate whose
election will put the stamp of condem-
nation ON all that he ever did and advo-
Gated, and upon the good judgment, in
telligence and patriotism of all his friends
and supporters, telling them, in effect,
that they have been nothing less than
enemies of the republic
When We place the damning judgment
Of Parker's friends against the opinions
heretofore held by Mr.. Bryan about Par
ker we must come to the conclusion that
the two great leaders of Democracy have
formed a remarkably true estimate Of
each others virtues and methods. This
is what Mr.. Bryan said in his Chicago
speech of April %:
I can prove to every unbiased mind that
Judge Parker is not fit man for the
Democratic party any other party to
nominate that stands for honesty and fair
dealing in politics
And here is what Mr.. Bryan said in
the Commoner, on July Is, after the
nomination of Parker:
HAVE NOTHING TO TAKE BACK. 7
HAVE NOTHING TO WITHDRAW OF
THE THINGS l HAVE SAID.
In view of these unqualified statements
it will be particularly interesting to
watch how Mr.. Bryan will be able to
convince his many friends in former bat
ties that he really wishes Mr.. Parker's
success, and especially after the Parker
leaders have shown such an undisguised
disposition to consign Mr.. Bryan to Do
litical oblivion in case of such success.

FORTY YEARS AGO.

By Henery Gassaway Davis.
Tin 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.O1D
I've wandered to the subject, John-that
note you sent to me,
Advising me that l have been put up for
our V. p
And o, 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 tnd a penny was the aver
age, you know;
Expenses have gone up heap since
forty years ago.
They say the country's grown in wealth
and territory, too,
But | have been so busy, John, these
facts | 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-ive:
In 80 Buchanan was the boss Of all
:, Iae ho"
q 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, | 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,
For it was vastly cheaper, John, some
forty 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, then
not like these nowadays,
No steel and iron liners, nor no cruisers,
anyways
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.
wish that you had chosen me some
forty years ago.
