Cleveland's second administration was
disastrous to the prosperity of the coun-
try; nevertheless. history will give much
credit to Cleveland because of his OBJ
stinate defense of the gold standard
against the assaults of his own party in
Congress. and because of his Venezuela
message.
But while Cleveland was doing his
best to preserve the gold standard. Park
err was voting for free silver. And when
Cleveland wrote his Venezuela MESA ge
did he have the moral support of the
candidate who in his recent speech of
acceptance condemned as extravagant
and unjustiied the Republican policy of
getting the nation in readiness for war?
Had 1t not been for this very policy
as pursued by preceding Republican ad-
ministrations, President Cleveland's fam
Gus Venezuela message would have been

posts in the nation. In neither of them
did he ever do an executive act that has
turned out disastrously for the country?
Where does the unsafeness come in?
The pretended alarm of Democrats on
this score is really a great compliment
to Mr.. Roosevelt. 1t is equivalent to
saying that he is an energetic Presi-
dent. We Americans are an energetic
people, accustomed to doing things in
stead of sitting down and dreaming about
them, and why should not we have that
kind of a President? Mr. Roosevelt's
energy Is of the healthy American kind,
and 1t has had a wholesome effect upon
our own people and in other countries.
A President who has spent his life doing
things is greatly preferable to one who
has spent his life writing judicial opin-
ions

was in accordance with the demand OF
the people, as expressed by their votes.
They. the people. have just as firmly
expressed their preference for protec-
fion. Neither currency nor tariff leris-
lation is so firmly enacted that the laws
could not be changed by Congress II the
people demanded their revision. and the
only reason that the Democratic party
is attempting to make the tariff an is
sue in this campaign is that they hope
the people have forgotten their sad e1-
perience under the Wilson-Gorman Dem
ocratic tariff bill. After the votes arc
counted in November. the Democrats
will find that the people who by their
votes rule this country consider the pro-
tective policy as well as the gold stand
ard firmly and irrevocably established
as cardinal principles.

As between the Democratic National
Committee Chairman Thomas Taggart
and the Democratic leaders of Illinois.
the situation is, to put it mildly, more
than melancholy.
Chairman Taggart came to Chicago
and went away again leaving behind him
a trail of blasted hopes. The Illinois
Democrats expected to get some money
from the Democratic party, affiuent for
the first time in many years, because the
trusts are with the Democracy. But
Chairman Taggart has nc money to give
TO Illinois. Whatever else may be said
of Chairman Taggart-who is a fine fell
low-it has never been said of Fin that
he was a fool. He knows better than
to waste money on Illinois in this cam
paign, and has practically, so expressed
himself.
This makes one sympathize and regret
somewhat the condition OF the Democra-
tic leaders in Illinois, but exalts ones
esteem of Chairman Taggart's good
sense.

TARIFF AND MONEY.
If One STANDARD Is Established, Why

Why should not the protective tariff

The gold standard was advocated by
the Republican party, and on this issue

SOMETHING eRoTesQue.
Hiil's Impudent Attack Upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt.

dent ROOSEVELT.
In a letter to Ferdinand Ziegel, Presi-
dent of the Commercial Travellers
League, David Bennett hin assaults the
President in language which, to say the
least, Is impertinent from the point of
view of gentlemen. He accuses the Pres
ident Of 'brag and buster" and refers
to the "dignifed and conservative gen.
tleman the Democrats have nominated"
This comes well from the New York
Democrat, generally admitted to be the
foxiest politician and the one most lack
ing In broad craftsmanship in the Uni
ted States. There is certain breezi
ness and impudence exhibited when he
compares his own creature and appointee
to the bench with a man like Theodore
Roosevelt, which commands attention,
IL, at the same time. the very opposite
of respect. This one thing may be. at
least, said of David Bennett Hill, who
is now the entire Democratic party in
the United States and whose creature is
the party's candidate. that he has ever
the brazenness of his non-convictions.
He has a certain clever wordiness. too.
But facts are facts, and facts are
stubborn things. David Bennett Hill is
practically directing the course of the
Democratic party. His own henchman.
his political manager in New York, Al
ton B. Parker. is the man installed by
him as the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, a passable jurist, possibly,
a shrewd political manager; certainly, a
man unheard of generally until his own
err nominated him as the candidate for
the Presidency of a decadent party.
But to talk of him as a President is
absurd. David Bennett Hill is certainly
"plunger" with his vassals In politics.

DEMOCRACY'S PLIGHT.

Bill Bryan said he'd help them; he said
that he would talk;
He said that he would fix things so
they'd win in walk;
He went to Colorado-they know they've
lost the State
Because Bill Bryan acted like he's the
candidate.
They sent Bill home,
No more to roam,
For he couldn't find a DENNY
with fine-tooth comb.
Bill Sheehan said he'd do It; he said
he had n scheme;
He woke up at Esopus-he found twas
all dream;
He boosted that his tactics had bottled
up New York
They found the other fellows had come
and pulled the cork.
They sent Bill home
No more to roam.
For he couldn't catch the voters
with fine-tooth comb.
Dave Hill said it was easy, he'd fix the
thing up right.
He fretted and he figured with all his
main and might.
And when he'd led his trump cad some
body covered it
They whispered then TO David: ave
think you'd better quit"
They sent Dave home
No more to roam
For he couldn't find the voters
with a fine-tooth comb.
Tom Taggart had his innings-he
brought out all his guile,
His hnger-pinching handshake, his oily,
spreading smile.
But up came Mr.. Parker his morning
sleep to break
With: "Who has chloroformed you
And what is this-a wake?'
They sent Tom home
No more to roam
For he couldn't find a voter with
fine-tooth comb.
Then Arthur Pussy German, as slick as
slippery elm,
Went on the deck as Captain, with no
one at the helm.
Democracy went drifting as far as far
could be,
And now the craft is sinking somewhere
upon the sea.
They've all gone home
No more TO roam
For they couldn't catch a voter
with a fine-tooth comb.

A sensational report reached the city
last evening to the effect that the pros
porous little town OF Westport was
being destroyed by fire. Both tele-
graph wires went down early In the
evening and the telephone line was not
available, as there is no Office at West
port. However, an Astorian man talk
ed with Mr.. Conyers. the operator at
Clatskanie. who said trainmen on the
night express out of Astoria had told
other employees OF the company at
Marshland that the fire was one OF
great extent. The glare was plainly
visible at Clatskanie having lighted up
the river for miles Swepson Morton,
who came down from Bugby on an EN-
gine, was told that the messhouse and
one or two other buildings had been
burned. Engineer Church had brought
down the engine and Mr. Morton said
he was of the opinion the fire was
not large one. When the night train
arrived Conductor Richard Blew was
seen and said he had talked with
resident of Westport as the train came
