THE ONE HOPE OF THE DEMOCRATS.

M AYOR DUNNE holds his grip upon the
L 4 Democratic organization of Chicago His
success shows the triumph of the radical wing
OF the party 1t indicates in one isolated instance
that the mass Of the Democrats still revel in rad
icalism of sort that is unlikely to lead the
party to triumph throughout the country. The
Democracy is divided with the Bryan ideas DOM
inant. Mr.. Bryans newest notion, the govern
ment ownership of railways, has not made pro-
gress as he expected. Few Democrats in Con
gress, or out of it, indorse ownership or would
agree to commit the party to that idea. And yet
the Democrats, if they expect TO hold their ranks
together, must cater to the radical elements in
the large cities and similar Populistic radicalism
in Western and some Southern States that have
been such potent force in the party. But
when the Democracy bows to the radical wing
it exiles a large and necessary conservative ele-
ment that must follow its banner if it hopes TO
succeed. And should it lean to the conservative
side the radicals desert. Altogether the outlook
for national success of the Democrats is not in
spring Where it has made gains of late has
been in districts that have been dominated by
Republican bossism. Freed of the latter, the
Republicans go forward to victory.

is made to The court but the court has nothing
whatever to do with the selection Of the jury.
The names are selected and the list is made up
by the Prothonotary without any supervision OF
the court
If any reason is needed for abolishing special
juries one can be found in the fact that those
defendants most frequently engaged in litigation
invariably rush in with an application for such
jury. And it stands to reason that they would
not do this, and put up the costs of a special
jury, unless they believed such a course would be
greatly to their advantage and proportonately to
the disadvantage of the other side. This plan OF
one party to a suit paying hundred and fifty or
two hundred dollars, for other purpose than
to secure a verdict or disagreement, is certain
ly mighty poor way of attaining justice We
arc sure no other State is disgraced by such an
infamous law.

NEED ExPEcr No QUARrER FRoM US.

THERE arc, we are informed, some Republi-
Il cans, and two or three of them are in the
Legislature. who hold the opinion that "our Re-
publican legislators should not be criticised
that anything uniavorable said about them re-
fects upon the party" We know there are
members in the Legslature-we are thankful
they are few-who are wearing the party mask
and who contend that the party should stand
for their action, and that they should be-immune
from newspaper criticism. Fortunately for the
people, there is one newspaper in this commun-
ity that recognizes no such code. We consider
such men, those who are elected by the people
and turn from them to serve personal and pri-
Vate interests are traitors to the party that hon
orcd them and are to be despised by their con-
stituents and the good citizenship Of the State.
Such men try to operate under cover, their cor
rupt deals are secret, and the one thing they
dread and fear is exposure and publicity. That
they sell themselves when they thus betray their
party there can be no question They would not
turn against the people to whom they owe their
election unless they received price for their be-
trayal They know they are corrupt; they know
they have forfeited the respect and confidence of
the people They are supersensitive THE
y
apply the lash to such political rascals Being
in the Republican party will not save them. In
deed, we feel more bitter toward and we will
pursue more relentlcssy those false to the Re
publican party. For the good of the community
we will hold up their betrayal Of trust. And in
this we win treat All alike and will know neither
friend nor foe. The worst enemy OF the Repubh-
party is he who is elected to opostion OF honor
and trust and then sells himself to whoever will
buy and there is always a demand for such trail
tors. The Farlows Kings and Clarks must be
branded as such whether they be found in the
Republican OF Democratic party Nor does it
make any difference what be the position occu-
pied-Governor or assessor Each has his re-
sponsibilites and owes his particular duty to the
people The higher the office the less excusabe
is the non-performancc OF its duties to the peo-
pie. The policy Of THE JOURNAL on matters
OF this kind has been so direct and pronounced
that it should by this time be fully understood
by everybody. 1t will be adhered to strictly, and
neither threats nor promises can swerve us the
least from our course The traitor, corruption

\ common enemy, and we shall always treat him

National Orange Day.

Editor The Evening Journal
out Of the West comes the sugges-
tion for the establishing Of a day. 10
be known as the National Orange Day,
a day on which the people all over this
great country should partake Of the
luscious fruit Laying aside all Sec
tional feeling. think II a very good
idea, and / think the suggestion should
meet with hearty approval from all
quarters OF our land. I suppose there
are not many people in this country
who at one time or another have not
caten the golden fruit OF the West
THE orange has place i'm almost every
household and It is almost a necessary
requisite for the sickroom. Aside from
the fact Of the commercial advantage
Of setting aside a day on which TO
feast on the orange, IT is a capital
idea OF paying homage TO one OF the
most delicious OF fruits.

In Favor of Tipping.


Editor The Evening Journal
When a man gives a tip does no
bribe the person given to? That is a
question that Is being given march at
tention at the present time. Several
well-known people have said that tip
ping Is bribing. 1 don't agree with
them. The class OF people tips are
given to generally need them, for they
usually receive such small salary from
the employers that they must per>
force rely upon the generosity OF those
they come IN contact with and render
some service. whether large or small.
My idea of a tip is that it conveys an
appreciation Of what has been done
for the person giving II. Walters, por-
ters on trains, bOotblacks, newsboys
and many other persons in that class
are the ones that receive tips. They do
something for you, you appreciate IT,
and in addition to the regular charge,
you give them a slight token. II that
is a 'bribe then I fail 70 see where Il
comes IN.
Bribing, 10 my way OF thinking,
means TO give a person something be-
fore he renders a service. Bribing
in the popular sense OF the word. con-
veys TO the mind that 1t is something
dishonora.hle. No honest person would
receive a bribe, yet thousands Of hon
orable people receive tips and many OF
them are not walters or men in that
walk Of life A tip means nothing
more than an appreciation OF SER
vice rendered. and the fact that It is
given after something is done puts II
forever beyond the pale Of bribery
with this view OF the matter I think
that the anutipping bill now before
Congress should be defeated. / an
sincere in this matter. and hope moth.
| ing viii ever come Of It.
