Undertook Too Much.

Herbert Spencer, in can Autobi-

having adopted boy with a view to
educating him after a system of his
own, found that he had underestimate
the magnitude of the undertaking. He
therefore cast about for a wife, whom
he gave clearly to understand that his
principal reason for marriage was to
secure a fit person to rear the boy.

The MARRIAGE Partnership.

Marriage is partnership, and as
one partner in a business house is
not grateful to the other partner for
paying him his portion, so wife
should not be expected to be grateful
to her husband. And if she has right
to her money she has a right to her
own life, which is the gift Of God

Taggart and Illinois.

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, atluent for
the first time in many years, because the,
trusts are with the Democracy. But
Chairman Taggart has no money to give
to Illinois. Whatever else may be said
of Chairman Tasgart-who is a fine fell
low-it has never been said of him 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 aud regret
somewhat the condition of the Democra-
tic leaders in Illinois, but exalts ones
esteem of Chairman Taggart's good
sense.

Che country went Republican by an over

tariff or free trade, and tariff reform
and revision, has been the issue in sew
eral national campaigns, and the people

protective tariff principle should prevail
and that this country should be rccog-
nized as favoring and supporting pro-

Cleveland's second administration was
disastrous to the prosperity of the coun-

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
er was voting for free silver. And when
Cleveland wrote his Venezuela message
did he have the moral support of the
candidate who in his recent speech of
acceptance condemned as %extravagant
and uniustified the Republican policy of
getting the nation in readiness for war?
Had it not been for this very policy
as pursued by preceding Republican adj
illustrations, President Cleveland's fam

SOMETHING GRoTEsQuE.
Hill's Impudent Attack Upon Presi.
dent Roosevelt.

ucut AOOscSelts
In a letter to Ferdinand Ziegel, Presi-
dent of the Commercial Travellers
League, David Bennett Hal 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 bluster," and refers
to the "dignitied and conservative gen
tleman the Democrats have nominated"
This comes we'll 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 a certain breezi-
nass and impudence exhibited when he
compares his own creature and appointce
to tile bench with a man like Theodore
Roosevelt, which commands attention,
if, at the same time, the very opposite
of respect. This one thing may be, at
least, said of David Bennett Hill. who
is o the entire Democratic party in
the United States and whose creature is
the party'sI candidate, that he has ever
the braZenness of his non-convictions.
He has a certain clever wordiness. too.
But fact 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, q passable jurist, possibly,
a shrewd political manager; certainly, a
man unheard of generally until his own
er 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
a ''plunger' with his vassals in politics.

posts in the nation. In neither of them
did he ever do ar 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 it has had a wholesome effect upon
our w 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.

Contractionist would be a better name
than Democrat for the party that favors

which meant the contraction of money
and it's purchasing power; the hauling
down of the stars and stripes in Hawaii,
the Philippines and other acquired ter
ritory is contraction of territory; advo-
eating curtailment of appropriations by
Congress means, il carried out, the con
traction of the rural free mail delivery.
and Of ALL other internal works and i'm

as favored by the Democratic platform
means contraction Of markets, at home
and abroad, contraction of the demand
for labor, contraction of money in circu-
lation, contraction of our bank accounts,
contraction of values, and contraction of
our belts to make our stomachs fit the
contracted supply of foodstuffs which ex-
perience has taught we must get along
with under contracted Democratic adj
mi%nistrations.
