"sIFE AND SANE"

va bao,, very often I'm this campaign the
words safe and sane as the characterization or
the Democratic party. They are not used 10 CON
trast our friends the Democrats with the Repub-
llcans as unsafe and insane. The best PROOF
of tbis il any one disputes it, is that the reno
vated Democracy have plumed themselves out
with about every idea and policy that has been
Republican for the last decade, and have thus
confessed the sanity of Republlcanism Undoubt-
edly this very borrowing makes the Democrats
feel they are entitled to the character safe ana
sane" Be that as it may, the words arose from
q contrast of the Democratic party Of to-day
with the Democratic party Of yesterday. And II
must never be forgotten that the party has oc-
casion TO refer to itself safe and sane be-
cause recently it was unsafe and insane
The words originated in an interview given
by Grover Cleveland to The New!York World"
on April 8. declaring for the candidacy Of Judge
Parker and expressing himself as delighted at
the prospect Of a return to sanity" Of his party.
It was on that day and in that capacious mind
that recovered sanity" as a reason for in
trusting with power born into the world.
Perhaps 1t is thought Mr.. Cleveland's delight
will be shared generally, and recent release
from the madhouse will entitle his party to
welcome into the bosom OF the commonwealth.
Mr. Cleveland's hopes for the return to sanity
of his party have been in some measure real
ized, at least as respects one section Of the De-
Inocracy. In the clouded days OF Organism we
had the mutterings and shrieks Of the pathetic
struggle against the straitjacket of order and
government. To-day, for a Democratic policy,
we have a mild and muddied Republicanism,
such as might impress an obfuscated intellect,
at last looking up and taking notice. as pro-
found and original discovery in the realm of pO-
litical science. This is certainly better. In
deed, we regard this infirm apprehension OF Re
puhlicanism the most favorable symptom OF
recovery from the recent long observation of our
lamented foe
The party has Mr.. Cleveland to thank for
many issues, winning and losing, but it Is not
little remarkable that from his hermitage in
Princeton, where he delights to keep out Of
politics, should come this years issue It is an
astonishing plea Withal. We venture to say
that for the first time in the history Of politics
suffrages are sought by a would-be ruler in
words that confess hts recent insanity All
credit, however, to DR. Cleveland for detect
ing the hrst symptoms of returning mental
health. For the recurrence OF the old malady
in the first days of July, perhaps the blame
must be laid upon the raging of the dog star;
perhaps It was a contagion from that famous
and incurRble psychopath Of Nebraska For

would have denounced him and his ancestors

Vardaman declared that he melted the negroes

nearly so likely to encourage lynching as the

spirit as seeking to avenge one IN
famous crime by the commission OF another

WAR VIEWS OF EXPERTS.
Possible Military and Naral Plans of
Russia Discussed.
rFRoM THE TRIBuNB BUREAU.l


washington Aug 15.-The air is too full oe
war rumors to enable the military and naval sx-
perts 10 Indulge in anything more trustworthy
than conjecture. They find the situation In the
Far East much confused. They believe. how
ever. the time is approaching when further Rus
sian activity will disclose the purpose OF that
government on land and sea. While the Nladl-
vostok fleet has been driven 10 shelter, II Is
stil a menace to the Japanese commander and
II II can be strengthened by any Of the ships
escaping from Fort Arthur and those brought
from home waters IT viii give tho Russians
chance TO save themselves by striking at jap
anese control OF the sea. 1t has been recognized
BY the experts that Russia must he entertain
ing some such plan for shutting Off the means OF
supply OF the Japanese army IN the interior.
Such n calamity 10 the Japanese would resolve
the problem for the Russians into a merely wait
ing game and it would be only a question OF
time when the japanese must retreat from their
advantageous positions. There IS delay IN ac-
complshing this. however, II the Russians con-
template the project.
The experts are now asking what Will be the
step OF the Japanese following the fall of Port
Arthur. Will they pursue the Russians further
north. using the force relieved from the siege IN
the southern peninsula? VIII they go over the
Siberian line? VIII they confne themselves to
holding the valuable positions they have taken
and await the attack Of the Russians? Win
they proceed with their fleet 10 Nladivostok.
and close that harbor against the outcoming OF
the enemy? These are few of the questions
which are being discussed with replies from eX-
pert sources on both sides. The situation. ac-
cording to the officers here, has every appear
ance Of becoming weekly more serious for the
Russians, although there are experts who do
not by any means admit that it has assumed
vNaIo 10 zfarr
covery Of lost ground Few experts. however,
believe the japanese can be driven bodily out
OF Manchuria. The most substantial hope OF
the Russians is considered by many to be in the
direction OF exhausting the Japanese monetary
rather than strategic sources OF supply.
