Good Logic.

The Democratic leader of the House of Represen-
tativee, Hon John Sharp Williams, urges Democrats
everywhere to Emphasize the things that they are
agreed upon and forget the things they do not agree
upon" This is sound logic. If two disputants can
not agree upon the premises they also most like
ly to agree upon the conclusion. Now we all
agree upon the and definitions of free society
which we call the principles of Jefferson, If we are
really Democrats. But shall look in vain for the
principle of federal ownership of interstate highways
among the principles of Jefferson. So also should
find in those principles warrant for governing
people without their consent, taxing class for
the benefit of another class, policing weaker
tons, or entanging alliance with kings, expand
ing federal authority by shifting interpretations of
the Constitution. In fact we should find in Jefer-
son nothing resembling the ''pocies" of Mr.. Roose
velt nothing like the soclastic haucinations that
some Democrats are preaching. Such things, there
fore, we ought to forget. Those who will not agree
the axioms and definitions of free society will nd
more congenia Judgement in the Sociastic party,
or in it's proginitor, the Republican party. They
cannot reason with Democrats and, therefore,
reach the same similar conclusions as a
basis of unity.

Candidate Burton.

Mr.. Burton Republican candidate for mayor of
Cleveland has held his convention, made his speech
and put forth his platform. The ticket is his own
and presumably to his liking. He had trouble
anywhere. The thing which most interesting
and really most important was the Burton position

clares for immediate settlement of that contro-
versy. Wonder of wonders, he declares tor muni

thought to be safe enough for the state law does not
permit any such thing at the present time and prob
ably will not permit it till long after Mr. Burton is
out of office. But nevertheless it is exceedingly
interesting to know that Mr. Burton should put such
declaration into his platform. Surely the world
do move. A Republican platform with this social
istic programme announced is modern anomoly
worth pauslng to contemplate. The great howl has

Mr.. Bryan in Cincinnati.

Bryans speech at the banquet given by the Gin.

Bryan's speeches always brilliant. The repro.
ductons of the speech carried by the newspapers
interesting, but the newspapers carried ether
information growing out of the successful function
which of equal and possibly greater inter-

quirer stated that Bryan and Judson Harman made
the trip to Cincinnati companions from point in
Michigan, where they had met and spent "a couple of
days together. This little item only becomes inter
esting when it is recalled that Harmon was mem
ber of the Cleveland cabinet and is himself frequent

banquet presided over by that other big Cincin-
natl Democrat, NJ f. Ingalls, whose return to the
Queen City for the event brought forth the following
comment from the Enquirer;
considerable political significance attaches to the
visit of Mr. ingalls, at this time because of the pres
ence of William Jennings Bryan. Within the past
four years the two eminent men have become fast
friends, and should he be nominated again Mr.
Bryan will have no more stauneh supporter than Mr.

After the banquet Mr.. ingalls, was asked by re-

During the financial dog days OF
southern college wealthy mer-
chant called upon the president to
say that he had provided i'll his will
for rather handsome bequest to
the college, to be paid after the
death of himself and his wife. The
president was oyerjoyed and asked
permission to- announce the gift in
the city paper. This request was
granted on condition that the do
nor's name should not be mention
ed. Accordingly the president wrote
a eulogistic notice of the donation
and hurried to the newspaper Office.
In his haste he neglected to give his
item title. The editor, hurried
and worried, absently clapped on
the first words that came to his
mind, and the item appeared the
next morning with the following

but it has been absolutely devoid of appeals to force
and lawlessness.
The condition of the working people generally is
in fact much more satisfactory than it was when
the observance of Labor Day was first instituted
Both the workingmen and their employers have very
generally learned that it is better to agree than
disagree and that it is vastly better resort to ar
bitration than to a strike lockout. The greater
peace which has prevailed between the employers
and their employees during the last few years has
been beneficial to both classes and they haye learned
the value of continuing it. Labor Day is consequent
ly no longer generally celebrated by big parades
which exhaust those who take part in them, or by
great meetings of angry and excited men harangued
by fiery orators to resort to extreme measures to
maintain their rights. Now happily there is
strong disposition to utilize the observance of the
day to promote better feeling between employers
and employed, and to increased industrial peace.
Everybod who is not drone or a mere cumberer
of the earth should take part In celebrating Labor
Day. All who work, whether with their hands or
their brains laborers and are entitled to special

Bryan Receives No Pay

An incident occurred at Clncin
natl following Bryan's speech at
that place few days ago which
for all time stamp the falsity of
the oft repeated story that the
Democratic leader is in the habit
of receiving pay for his public ad-
dresses. When Bryan was leav-
ing the city an envelope was hand
ed to him at the station by the
committee of the commercia al
travellers, which upon opening he
found to contain his railroad
tickets and a couple bills of three
figure denomination. A opalned
look came over his face and he
said, pleasantly but firmly {:
Gentlemen, l thank you, but I
cannot accept this" The COM
mittee insisted it was not right
for him to pay his own expenses,
but Bryan stopped them by say
ing:
"Cincinnati and the Cincinnati
travelling and business m EN- honor
ed me when thev asked me to come
here and address them and the
merchants from the surrounding
country, l am more indebted to
them than they are indebted to
me. They have honored me by
their invitation and reception
more than l can repay, and any
thing like this, gentlemen, is simp-
ly out of the question:"
1t subsequently, developed that
the committee had discussed the
matter and had doubted the prop
riety of the act until some one ma
liciously assured them that Brvan
was accustomed to receiving pay
for all his addresses and expected
it, Later they learned the truth,
that he had never accepted a
penny for address other than
those made at Chautauquas and
upon the lecture platform. The
travelling men retained the tickets
and money and then did the grace
ful thing, as they generally do,
by forwarding to the great orators
home magnificent leather trunk
and valise.
Republican editors have delight
ed in the past in publishing tales,
knowing them to be false, of the
marvellous sums Bryan receives on
his campaign tours, and it is prob
ably too much to expect them to
publish the truth. 1t is a cruel !
spcrt they seem to enjoy.

Octopus Defends Itself.

The directors of that hideous octopus, the Stand

they declare the trust to be absolutely innocent of
wrong doing. They further declare it has been
'manifestly difiicutt to get fair hearing before
the public or in a large portion of the press, the
latter to it's great harm, swayed alike by Sociastic
outcry from below and political pressure from above

The Same Today.

Democracy is sentiment not to
be appalled,, corrupted or compro-
missed. 1t knows no baseness; 1t
covers at no danger; it oppressee
no weakness. Fearless, generous
and humane, it rebukes the AFRO
CANT, cherishes honCr and sympa-
thizes with the humble. 1t con-
cedes nothing but what it de-
mands. Destructive only of de-
potism, it is the sole conseryator
of liberty, labor and property. 1t
is the sentiment of freedom, of
equal rights, of equal obligations.
1t is law of nature pervadlng the
law of the land.
The stupid, the selfish and the
base in spirit, may denounce it as
a vulgar thing; but in the history
of our race, the Democratic princi-
pie has developed and illustrated
the highest moral and intellectual
attributes of our nature. Yes,
that is noble, magnanimous a
sublime sentiment which expands
our affections, enlarges the circle
of our sympathies and elevates the
soul of man until, claiming an
equality with the best, he rejects,
as unworthy of his dignity, any
political immunities over the hum
blest of his fellows. Yes-it is an
enobling principle-and may that
spirit which animated our fathers,
in the revolutionary contest for
establishment, continue to animate
us, their sons, in the impending
struggle for it's preservation.
