with satisfaction. More than seven
years have passed since President
Cleveland left the White House and
in that time the Democracy has had
plenty Of time on its hands for refiec-
tion and reminiscence. Reflection must
have brought to Il a realizing sense
that all the protectionists In the coun-
try are by no means found In the
Republican party The South has
made tremendous industrial progress
In the last decade. and it's manufac-
turers are not inclined TO favor a
scheme Of tariff revision that will
wholly tear down the protective bar
riers.
The Southern cotton mill owners
would not relish a tariff for revenue
only applied to their products any
more than their New England cousins
would. Nor have the Louisiana sugar
growers been reconciled to reciprocity
with Cuba. A Louisiana Democratic
Congressman fought Cuban reciprocity
on the ground that IL endangered the
sugar industry of his state. and the
reduction of the tariff on Philippine
products because Il threatened the
'ricegrowers. We have seen a Demo-
cratic Senator from Colorado struggle

are all developments not likely 10 be

WEALTH AND vuLoARlTY.

In his address at the Delaware Col
iege commencement Henry c. Conrad
struck the keynote Of education. The
object is not the accumulation OF
wealth. In the higher aspects it is not
selfish. OF course TO educate boy

all the problems OF life, and. therefore,
his ability to earn money win be in
creased.
But true education, like true religion.
creates for us new worlds. and one Of
these is the common good. Altruism is
ever characteristic Of the truly edu-
Gated man.
This tendency may be noted In our
scientific schools. The profoundest
study is given In the medical schools
to the prevention OF disease. and that
doctor who simply regards the CONF
merciai side Of the transaction is not
regarded as fit 10 receive diploma.
We might go on to enumerate the men
who make sacrifices" which are not
sacrifices after al, because their work
is more to them than fine houses. auto
mobiles and diamonds.
This should lead no man to conclude
that wealth is a bad thing. Its pos
SCISSOR has in his hands a marvellous
power for good. He may employ 1t Sc

well as TO himself. The business en-

rhe cRlsEs on IlEE

Many a man goes through life and
at last finds a grave, without ever be-
ing discovered or without discovering
himself our true character becomes
known only when we are tested by a
crisis. Then the impulses that are
native assert themselves and the veneer
.of conventionality drops OF.
A terrible disaster like that which
occurred ln New York harbor yester-
day reveals humanity at its best, and
at its worst. There are stories Of
passing craft sinking away from the
doomed boat with her hundreds OF per-
ishing passengers. Then there are
tales Of strong men trampllng over wo-
men and children. seeking their own
safety at the expense Of the weak and
helpless.
That is the darker side OF the pic
ture, showing in humanity the streaks
Of barbarity which ordinarily are
cloaked-a survival OF the primitive
impulse OF preservation at WHAT
ever cost.
But there is another and better
side. Through the awful confusion we
catch the glimpse Of a man standing
on the burning wheelhouse, passing
women and children below. His cloth
ing is on fire, his hair is singed yet
he stands IN that hell and does the
duty that his nature prompts; and
when there is nothing else for him to
do he plunges into the waterand swims
to land. What is his name? All, that
doesn't matter. Tie was not seeking
lnotoriety There are stories OF mere
boys that are inspiring. one little
fellow wanted TO say his prayers, but
there was no time as upon him de-
volved the duty Of protecting his little
brothers and sisters.
Brave little fellow, he didn't realize
that his prayer was a prayer OF SER
vice, and that no prayer from earth

ed higher.
How little we know about men and
women. We meet them every day,
smile and nod. They faunt their titles.
their baubles. This one is descended
from some half savage monarch. and
this one owns houses and banks, but
we never really know them until some
crisis presents itself when they must
strip themselves Of the rags Of conven-
tionallty and act as men and women.

RAIsuLI.

The disposition shown by the Sui
tan Of Morocco to yield to the de-
mands of the bandit Raisull has borne
fruit after its kind. The bandit now
enlarges his demands. sand instead Of
releasing Perdicaris puts that event
further of than ever
Raisuli now demands three provinces
instead Of one, over which he Is to
have undisputed authority. He asks
as a matter Of International comfy
that an Of his friends shall be released
from prison and all his enemies be
put in their places.
But the bandit does not wish to
trust to the promises OF the Sultan.
He demands that France. England and
the United States shall guarantee the
promises OF Morocco. There is no evil
dence Of an eagerness to comply with
this demand. But there is likelihood
that some OF these days under am
agreement between the powers-or
without it-a hunting expedition may
be formed OF marines and a march to
the interior undertaken. When founl

Not IN recent years has there been a
disaster at sea comparable with that
which occurred in the East river yes
terday, and in sight Of thousands who
lined the shores or who beheld the
awful spectacle from boats in the
river.
In few minutes. from a laughing,
merry throng Of excurslonists, all was
changed to a scene Of horror too ghast-
ly to dwell upon.
There was death In the devourlng
flames. death IN the falling decks,
death in the swirling and eddylng wat
ers. And almost ere the passengers
were aware OF the danger, they were
obliged to make choice between the two
elements.
The heart-breaking story has been
told in detail. The hundreds OF chill

which may be brought before the Re
publican national convention on Tues.
day. iS
At a preliminary meeting yesterday
resolutions OF respect TO the memory
of Senator Hanna and Senator Quay
were adopted.
The Wisconsin contest, II II is heard
by the committee at all, may not be
taken up until tomorrow, but some Of
the members are understood 10 have
concluded to exclude both delegates
and let the courts determine the rights
OF the two factions.
Chairman Henry c. Payne Of the ma
tional committee was stricken with
sudden illness at the Auditorium An
mex yesterday and was unable to pre-
side over the meeting OF the commit
tee. II is said that Chairman Payne's
illness is such as to preclude the pos
sibility of his taking active part in at
least the preliminary work Of the con-
vention. Senator Scott of West Vir-
ginia presided over the committee in
Mr. Payne's absence.
1t has been decided to allow Porto
