Talk About a New Party.

A dea: of gossip is growing out Of a yarn
that Mr. Bryan, Mr.. La Toilette. Mr.. Folk.
and others, are in correspondence on the
subject of forming new party They are
represented as impatient with existing con-
ditions. and of the belief that no thorough
remedy is possible through the agency Of
either of the two old organizations.
Mr.. Folk may be discouraged far as
Missouri is concerned. The democracy of
that state has not warmed to him, and with
out republican support his program would
have failed. Even with that support 1t has
not been bowling success. Mr.. La Toilette
is grumpy as to his recent experiences both
in the Senate and at home He finds he Is
not as near to the millennium as at one time
he supposed he would be by this time. The
country responds but slowly to his efforts
AS for Mr.. Bryan, he is probably little
dsgusted to discover that while thousands
are conjuring with his name. quite as many
more are fervently wishing him at the
jumping-off place for his advocacy of the
government ownership of railroads. The
democrats are alternately bowling for him
and at him.
But disguised as these men may be with
this or that phase of the situation, they
are not likely to hurry out of their present
into new alliances. Things are in a fluid
state all over the land In New York to-
day there Is something as near like chaos
as we have ever observed in America. Mr..
Hearst has forced himself upon the demo-
cratic party with the aid of an organiza-
ton which he controls completely as
he does his carriage horses, and II he wins
next month new party may grow out OF
the victory. But 1t will be Mr.. Hearsts
party. and not one Offering immediate pro-
motion to either Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Folk, or
Mr. La Toilette. For that reason they. and
ambitious men of their stamp, will not care
to cast their fortunes with it.
But If Mr.. Hearst loses, then will come
an effort to revive the democracy of an
earlier day in New York and elsewhere.
and that Will be a chance that democrats
like Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Folk should i'm
prove to try to stamp their views upon the
new order of things. 1t will not be an easy
matter and especially for Mr.. Bryan. for
he Is bracketed in the east with Mr.. Hearst
as of anti-democratic tendencies.
The democratic party Is not yet dead.
even In New York: and until 1t is dead
dead as a hammer-all talk about a new
party should be received with considerable
reservation.

From the Kansas City Times.

From the Kansas City Times.
Those members of the Iroquois Demo-
cratic Club Of Chicago who expressed the
belief that Mr.. Bryan Is hopeless CASE
merely voiced sentiment that is pretty
widely entertained. even If rarely ex-
pressed with such frankness. Not in years
had the democrats been SO hopeful as they
were when Mr.. Bryan returned from
abroad. Many of them believed then that
If he would leave the old discredited issues
alone. IL he stuck to rational lines, and
especially IL he concentrated his energies
on the sound and urgent democratic doc
trine OF low tariff, he could defeat the
strongest republican 1t was possible for
the opposition party to nominate. The
conviction is now just as general that al
most any republican who has the least
chance in the world TO secure the next
Presidential nomination could defeat Bry-
an with ease. And this f1uctuation In
Bryan stock is due entirely to the man
himself-to the bad breaks he has repeat
edly made and which he seems not to have
the judgment to avoid. Bryan has been
patiently and indulgently nursed, goodness
knows. but he has been an obstreperous
child of fortune. Opponents Of the demo-
cratic party could ask nothing better than
the service Mr. Bryan has rendered to
keep that party out Of power.

Equality.
From the New Orleans Picayune.

That there will be social and political
revolutions is certain. That no country
will be safe from them may be considered
started with an cutlery for equality, as
was the French revolution Of 17ss, with
the cry for Liberty. equality and fra
ternity." 1t accomplished the killing of a
king and the destruction of the ancient
system Of hereditary social rank and spe-
cial privilege. It poured out rivers of
blood. and resulted in creating an emperor
and new system of nobility with special
social rank and privilege, illustrating that
there Is no such thing as practical equal
ity for individuals under any conditions
in which they may be found. either as to
association or material wealth.

 At the same moment the horses slackcned speed and then stopped. ar rested by one of the temporary blocks that so often occur in the traffic of Pic cadilly circus.
 Loder, preoccupied by his own feel ings, scarcely noticed the halt. but Eve drew away from him. laughing.

 The carriage had stopped beside ono of the small islands that intersect the place. A group of pedestrians were crowded upon 1t, under the light of the electric lamp-wayfarers who, like themselves. were awaiting a passage. Loder took cursory glance at them. then turned back to Eve.
 "What are they. after all, but men and wonen!" he said. They'd under stand-every one of them" He laugh ed in his turn. Nevertheless he with drew his arm. Her feminine thought for conventionalities appealed to him. It was an acknowledgement of depend ency. iy

 Chilcote lifted his head. His face was pitiably drawn. but the feverish bright ness in his eyes had increased. Five he said sharply. Five. Do Fou hear. Loder"
 "FiyeT' Involuntarily Loder lowered the hand that held the tube. From pre- vious confidences of Chilcote's he knew the amount of morphia contained in each tabloN and realized that five tab loids, if not an absolutely dangerous was at least an excessive dose, even Tor one accustomed to the drug. For moment his resolution failed. Then the dominant note of his nature-the un- conscious. fundamental egotism on which his character was based-assert- ed itself beyond denial. It might be reprehensible. it might even be crimi- nal to accede to such a request made by a man in such condition of body and mind: yet the laws or the universe demanded self assertion-prompted ev- cry human mind to desire. to grasp and to hold. With perception swifter than any he had experienced he realized the certain respite to he gained by yielding to his impulse. He looked at Chilcote with his haggard. anxious expression. his eager. restless eyes. and vision of himself followed sharp upon his glance. A vision of the untiring labor of the past ten days. of the slowly kindllng ambition. of the supremacy all but gained. Then. as the picture completed itself. he lifted his hand with an ab- rupt movement and dropped the five tsbloids one after another into the glass.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-11-12

A groan of relief fell from Chilcote, and the muscles of his face relaxed. For moment he lay back with closed eyes; then the desire that tortured him stirred afresh. He lifted his eyelids and looked at his companion. "Hand 1t to me-" he said quickly. Give 1t to me. Give 1t to me, Loder, quick as you can! There's a glass on the table and some whisky and water. The tabloids dissolve, you know. In his new excitement he held out his hand.
 But Loder stayed motionless. He had come to fight. to demand, to plead, if need be, for the one hour for which he had lived-the hour that was to satisfy all labor, all endeavor. all am bition. With dogged persistence he made one more essay.
 "Chilcote, you wrote last night to re call me- Once again he paused, checked by new interruption. Sit ting up again, Chilcote struck out sud denly with his left hand in rush of his old irritability.
 "D-n youv' he cried suddenly. What are you talking about? Look at me! Get me the stuff. I tell you it's imperative" In his excitement his breath failed, and he coughed. At the effort his whole frame was shaken.
 Loder walked to the dressing table, then back to the bed. A deep agita- tion was at work in his mind.
 Again Chilcote's lips parted. To der," he said faintly-"Loder, I must I must have It. It's imperative" Once more he attempted to lift himself, but the effort was futile.
 Again Loder turned away.
 'Ioder.-
 With a fierce gesture the other turn ed on him. Good heavens, man." he began. Then unaccountably his voice changed. The suggestion that had been lowering in his mind took sud den and definite shape. All rightw he said in a lower voice. Al right! Stay as you are"
 He crossed to where the empty tum- bier stood and hastily mixed the whis- key and water, then crossing to the mantelpiece where lay the small glass tube containing the tightly packed
