DEMOCRATIC INDIGESTION.
Country Has Suffered Because of 1t
When that Party Was in Power.

Whenever the Democratic party has
had a chance at power its course has
been ike that of the donkey in the fable,
which died of starvation while trying to
decide which to eat first, its oats or its
hay.
1t was this way when Buchanan was
President, and could not make up his
mind whether or not 10 suppress by force
the secession mover ent in the South,
and 50 postponed having anything done
until Lincoln could become President.
This dilatory policy was largely respon-
sible for the enormous cost in money and
lives of suppressing the rebellion.
When Cleveland was President the
country suffered quite as much from ag-
onizing uncertainty as to what the Demo
Gratis were really going TO do, as from the
actual evils that they did do, On Meth
e. the tariff nor on the money question
was there any unity Of opinion amongst
the Democrats, and never was it posi-
bic to forecast just what would be done.
The Democrats took one year aid five
months to work up and pass their VIII
son bill after the Inauguration Of Presi-

Not Ell To Gnvern.

When Grover Cleveland was elected
President the second time the first thing
he did was to withdraw from the Sem, .e
the treaty for the annexation Of lie '!aii
and order the American flag there 20 be
hauled down, The Democratic party ap-
proved this action as brave and patr1-
otto, lie prevented annexation as long
as he could and the Democratic party
applauded every step he took.
Finally. in the second year OF NJ Kin
ley's administration annexation was com
pleted and the isIGnGs entered on new
career Of prosperity. Now no Demo
cratic speaker would dare to advocate
the surrender or evacuation of Hawaii.
A few y-ars hence il will be tie same

dent Cleveland, as gainst four months
and twenty days that it took the Repab-
Leans 10 pass the Dingley bill after the
Inauguration of President Mckinley.
No less than GA amendments we're
made to the Wilson bill before ii was
passed-and then. despite this enormous
number of patches to make the liI suit
all Democrats, President Cleveland view
Ell it with the utmost disappointment"
and said that it was marked with pieces
where the deadly blight OF treason has
blasted the counsels of the brave in
their hour of might" The colossal fail
ure of this bin to produce enough revt-
nue. to run the government. as we'll as the
general blow it inflicted on the industries
of the country. thereby driving thousands
OF men out of employment. was in sharp
contrast to the success Of the Dingley
bill in not only producing enough reye-

sands of people out of work, and in re-
storing good times to the country.

DEMOCRATIC ANARCHIST.
Assassination Preached by an Incen-
diary "Nigger" Halter.


If Democracy has returned to san
ity," as Grover Cleveland asserts, it is
certain the party has not Yet purged it
self of something even worse than insan-
lily. Anarchists are a greater curse to
any community than lunatics, for luna
tics are often harmless to society; but
anarchists. by their words and deeds, are
always a menace. Take the case of Con
| gresham J. T. Hefin, for instance. He
is an Alabamian with mouth more dam
gerous than a dozen CzolgoSzes. The as
sassin of President Mckinley did not
openly preach anarchism before carrying
out his purpose and thereby incite 9th
ers to STAY public mel. IIetiin is more
| cowardly. In a recent speech nj Itiske-
gee, Ala, the home OF Booker I. Wash
ington, and the negro school conducted
by him, Helm said;
There they sat, Roosevelt and Booker,
and if Czolgosz or one of his kind had
thrown a bomb under the table no great
harm would have been done the coun-
try"
OF the report that Booker Washington
was going to help to beat him for cleo
ton to Congress, Helm said:
IF Booker takes hand in this thing
it will be one time l will ask him to step
cut. | will ask him to hands Off and
YOU know we have a way of influencing
negroes down here"
Hefiin. who succeeded Congressman
Thompson, had fight with his Republi-
can opponent. Captain y. w. Walker, on
Sunday. Smarting under this, he attack
ed Walker fercely in his speech. He de-
scribed him as "a black and tan serpent
Missing at the feet of honest, upright
Democrats" He said it was the desire
of the Republicans to have Walker sent
| to Congress so they could say: Here
friend of Booker Washington, and it
shows how he is looked upon down there
and how the people uphold him."
IF Parker is elected President" he
said. land Booker Washington goes to
Washington, you will find him eating in
the kitchen instead of the dining room. p"
Hefiin said he refused TO meet Walker
in Joint debate because that would have
recognized him as his equal. He added:
Il do not recognize any black and tan
as my equal I will not lower myself TO
the level of black and tan who mingles
on equal terms with negroes"
II avails Hefin nothing to say his
bomb talk was intended to be jocular.
The fact remains that it was incendiary
language such as is made criminal by
the anti-anarchist law recently passed by
Congress. The Democratic party has
much to answer for, and unless it muz-
zlcs such blatant "nigger" haters as
Hef1in it may have more crimes lai1 at
its doors. Helm is one of the leaders
of the party in the South. and his utter
ances are an indication that Democracy
is, at least. not safe" even if it is now
'sane," as Mr.. Cleveland would have the
people believe.

DEMOCRATS AT WAR.
Hearst's Paper Makes Savage Attack

The wake on the Democratic ticket of

before the day set for the official funeral.
Among the protesting mourners. Hearst $
New York American attracts momentar,
attention by THE following truculent howl.
There is copied mere only the opening
notes of the performance:
According to the little-souled Olney,
Attorney General in Cleveland's cabinet,
the war with Spain was a comicaI blum
der, and the men that gave their lives
for the freeing of Cuba We're fools that
had much better have stayed at home.
MIR. Olney, by some unaccounta Bile
error of the Democratic managers in this
campaign, has been making speeches in
behalf of Judge Parker, and this noble
sentiment is one of the things that he
has been saying.
AT Cooper Union last night, to a
meeting called under the auspices of
Democracy. he spoke with a nasty sheer
of our needless scrimmage with 8 ain
over Cuba and again. later in mis- re-
marks, sneered at what he called in his
pleasant way that development of jingo-
ism and militarism which brought on the
scrap with Spain
IF MIR. OINEY HAD BEEN EN-
GAGGED TO MAKE VOTES FOR MIR.
ROOSEVELT HE COULD NOT POS
SIBLY HAVE HIT UPON A BET
TER WAY"
This criticism might well be applied,
by the Democrats, TO Mr.. Olney's entire
Cooper Union speech. In his comments
upon the Republican foreign policy. the
Philippine question and its fnancia!
management, Mr.. Olney touched, with &
rash hand, the nerves of national honor
and pride. 1t was a sure way TO pro-
duce a vast crop of voters for Roose-
welt 1t is admitted that Olney spoke 10
silent house. 1t is not surprising.
