Holidays.

The hottest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves In silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries Of the heart,
when the fun river of feeling overtlows (:
The happy days unclouded to their close /:
The sudden joys that out of darkness
start
As flames from ashes: swift desires that
dart
Like swallows singing down each wind
that blows,
white as the CLEAN Of receding sail,
White ms the cloud that floats and fades
in air,
white as the whitest lily on a stream,
These tender memories are: IA fairy tale
OF some enchanted land, We know not
where,
But lovely as a landscape In q dream.

OPPORTUNITY NEEDS ASSISTANCE
Want. the Democratic Message Expressed
Il Plain Language.

Cleveland thinks these conditions
Justify the assertion of Democracy's
opportunity. He says: ut should be
remembered, however. that opportunity
may be only distantly related to actual
accomplishment. and that it does not
OF itself. unaided and alone. warrant
the expectation of reaching success
full results This is no time for Guns
ming tinesse. nor for the use of words
that conceal intentions or carry q
double meaning. The Democratic par
ty has message to send to Its fol-
lowers and to the masses of the Amer.
lean people.
.'I1et that MESA ge be expressed in
language easily understood, uncon-
fused by evasion. and untouched by
the faint Of jugglery. Obsolete issues
and questions no longer challenging
popular interest should be manfully
abandoned" Cleveland urges tariff re-
form. pleads for economy in the exs
penditlre of public money. and charges
the opposition with having made prom
ises and broken them,
He arraigns the administration
Philippine policy and refers to the
isthmian canal in these words: THE
Democratic party has been consistent
and unremitting in it's advocacy OF an
inter-oceanic canal, and has with the
liveliest satisfaction looked forward to
the day when such highway of COM
merce. built under the auspices OF our
government, would be contributed by
America to the worlds progress and
civiazat ton. 1t is, nevertheless, not
within the mandates of the Democrat
ic cres(l that, even in concentrating
so noble an enterprise as this. the ter
ritorfal rights of any other milton
should be disregarded. or that our own
national good faith should be subject
ed to reasonable suspicion"
Cleveland concludes as follows: "At
such time as this the Democratic
party cannot with honor undertake the
battle of the people except under n
leader that not only represents Its best
traditions and purposes, but fully real
ICES what is meant by the tremendous
issues of the conflict: and his selection
should not depend upon SO small a
consideration as the locality whence
he comes"
