WAS DEMOCRACY INSANE?
II So, Bryan Was n Lunatlc, According to
/ Mr.. Cleveland.

II So, bryan Was n Lunatlc, According to
! Mr.. Cleveland.
Democracy has returned to san
ity," said Grover Cleveland recently,
III an interview.
This statement, made with all the
solemn p~onderosity Of which Mr.. Cleve-
land is capable, would imply that the
Democratic party has been insane and
its leaders Il set of lunatics. In pre-
v1ous interviews Mr.. Cleveland con-
tented himself with merely saying that
Democracy had strayed from the right
path after strange gods' when it en-
braced Organism, but since the defeat
Of the Bryan faction at st. Louis he
has been secretly rejoicing over the
apparent downfall of his most bitter
political enemy, and on Oct. 2, at Buz-
Yards Bay, he virtually declared that
MI. Bryan was a mailman.
How do the friends of Mr.. Bryan in
Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska and other
states relish having their leader called
a lunatic? Insanity Is lunacy. or mad
ness, and if the Democratic party "has
returned to sanity it must first have
been insane, aid, by the same reason
ing, If the party was insane because
Mr. Bryan was its leader Mr.. Bryan
himself must have been the chief lu-
matte.
Candidate Parker is generally ad.
mitted to be a %noncntity in his party
a tool of Hill, Sheehan and others
and what he says counts for little, but
1t is different when Mr.. Cleveland
talks. He is the oracle of the Eastern
Democracy, and if he says Bryan is in
sane it is certain lie voices the senti.
ments of sane" Democracy.
How can the Bryanites indorse such
a SANDER on their leader by supporting
Parker? Mr.. Cleveland declined to
vote for Mr.. Bryan on the ground that
the Nebraskan was insane, but he will
vote for Parker because he leads the
sane Democracy ticket.
An important point seems to have
been forgotten by Mr.. Cleveland. Par.
ker voted twice for the Nebraska 'lu.
natfc' and was therefore one of the
host Of madmen who composed "in.
sane" Democracy. Does MI. Cleveland
improve his position by nov support
ing IL Of the madmen who voted for
the leader Of "insane" Democracy?
Mr.. Cleveland's thrust at Bryan was
uncalled for, and will, no doubt, be re-
sentcd ut the polls, for the friends Of
MI. Bryan do not think lie should be
put in the straitjacket class.

DEFECTIVE CHILDREN.
Sad Legacy Which Alcohol Has Be-
slowed Upon the Country
of Belgium.

LIE Bien Social has an article on de-
fective children, in which we read that
the schools for such children con
tain 954 scholars, but the Society fol
the Protection of Defective Children
has made inquiry, and found that in
Belgium there are at least 5000 such
children and the greater number are
receiving no education at all. The ar
ticle goes ON to saysthat In this sad
matter "alcohol plays a preponderatina
role" The teacher Of a school Mt Ant
werp was so struck with the evil alec
hol had caused to the children that
he renounced for life the use of all alco-
holic drinks, liqueurs, wine and beer"
He one day said to q friend: How
can one continue to drink when one
sees in these children the terrible evils
caused by alcohol?" Our contempt
rary then asks: do the rich djstillers
and the public e%mpoisoners pay for the
special teaching of these children? Dc
they charge themselves with the duty
of ~remedying the sad consequences OF
their pitiable condition? These hon
CRADLES content themselves with shut
ting UP in their drawers and safes the
cursed money which they gain through
the misfortune and Supplying Of the
people,"
In another article on criminality in
Belgium, after giving details of the
crimes committed through drink, show
ing that rs per cent. of the criminals
are alcoholics, it says: 1T is the In
fernal commerce of the distillers and
the retail dealer in alcohol which pro-
duces all these criminals. Why not
make those who deliver themselves up
20 this destructive commerce pay the
considerable cost, amounting to mil
lions, which %crlminality entails on the
country?"

Mrs. H.-Of course it is all very wei

j Miss F.-The proof is easy. The heal
OF the oven is above that of the boiling
point of water, and as alcohol boils a
40 degrees below that of water. it follows
that it must vaporize very much more
quickly, and thus be driven off in the
first quantities of steam.
Mrs. B.-That is quite a satisfactory
explanation. I did not know the reason
and | am obliged to Miss Freezing fol

of strong drink is present.
Miss FL know that mother objects
to that kind on the ground that 1t Is moi
necessary-we do not even think it nice
to the palate, and there is always the
danger that some one who has con.
quered the drink habit may have the
drink habit revived.

times-with visitors and all that?
Mrs. B.-Not at all. Some of our
friends are not abstainers, but they re-
cognize that we have the same right to
abstain as they claim in using wine. We
never admit strong drink of any kind
into the house. <

cooki How does she manage for brandy

Mrs. H.-You surely don't mean that
no wine is used in the kitchen?
Mrs. B.-I certainly do; and what is
more, l think that of all places 1t is the
least needed in the kitchen. May not its
use there in some way be responsible for
the muddled state of your cook?

such a stand. Mrs. Browning; 1t is just
the position that father and mother take,

Hundred Feet and Lies Tn

For three hours last night Herman
r. Carlson. a stevedore of 2347 Nine
teenth street, lay unconscious at the
bottom of a 100-foot bluff Immediately
beneath his home at the corner of
Utah street and Potrero avenue. On
regaining his senses, although his left
leg was fractured in three places, he
managed TO drag himself over the
rough ground to point where his
cries were heard by passing pedes-
trians.
Carlson was repairing his fence at
the brink of the precipice shortly be-
fore dusk. One of the boards gave way
and the unfortunate man was hurled
down over hundred feet. In his
downward fight Carlson turned a Sc
ries of somersaults and landed on his
head and hands. Although he fell from
a terrible height, the stevedore sus-
tained only a compound fracture of the
leg and a lacerated scalp.
When aid reached him Carlson was
sitting calmly on a rock, apparently
suffering little. He said he attempted
to reach the City and County Hospital,
two blocks away, but his injured limb
became too heavy to drag.
Carlsons wife objected to his being

Shanahan and Oscar Retzman were
arraigned to-day on a charge of killing
Joseph r. Louis, an inmate of the
Napa Asylum
Sheriff Dunlap had in his possession
the clothing worn by Louis in ward B
at the time of his death. Assistant
supervisor James Raney testified at
the COroner's inquest that he was in
ward B shortly before the death of
Louis and that the latter had clothing
on at that time. Those who saw Louis
just after his death testified that he
had no clothing on at all, and none
was to be found in the ward.
This afternoon Shanahan and Retz-
man were taken before Justice Nc
Knight and arraigned for the murder
of Louis. District Attorney Benjamin
appeared for the prosecution and At
