What Others Say.

NEXT DEMOCRATIC. PLATFORM
The forecast of the Democratic ma
tional platform of neyt year advanced
by National Committeeman Dahlman,
of Nebraska, mentions several planks
that are certain to be made cunspic-
uous
President Roosevelt's redical and
revolutionary outgivings with respect
to the relations between the Feder-
!! al Government and the States make it
inevitable that the Democratic plat
form of next year will contain strong
declarations defining the powers of
the one and the rights, of the other.
The Presidents dangerous attacks
upon the inherent and reserved rights
OF the States must be met with the
declaration, strong as it can be made,
that the United States are Federal
Republic and not consolidated EN-
pire. The rights of the several
States to do or to leave undone the
things which lie wholly within their
constitutional power will be affirmed
in positive and unmistakable Ian
guage.
That the present Republican Presi-
dent has overridden the constitutional
Limitations which define his func-
Itions as one of the three coordinate
branches of the Government will
Icertainly be another declaration of
the Democratic National Convention
when 1t meets in 1908.
Usurpations by the President OF
powers which belong to other
branches of the Government, or to
the States. will assuredly be con-
Idemned In language as strong as II
lean be made.
In the year which marks the CEN
tennial Of the election of Thomas
Jefferson's successor to the Presi-
dency the Democratic party, which
Jefferson founded, will pledge itself
TO defend with all its might the prin-
ciples of government which he estab-
lished
In the defense OF these principles
there would be material for cam
paign Of patriotism without touching
Iany other issues. But specific meas
ures based upon these principles will
mot be overlooked.
The Democratic principle which re-
sists tariff that grants extravagant
favors to certain interests while heav-
lily burdening the masses of the peo-
pie will be forcibly reasserted. But
the tariff plank will be constructive
not destructive. 1t should derand a
tariff policy somewhat like that OF
the law of 1S33-a repeal or lowering
of the most oppressive schedules and
gradual reduction of others as fast
as 1t can be done without giving q
!. .lsudden wrench to the protected In
dustries.
More rapid improvement of nayiga-
ion jim American fiyers to meet the
{demands of traffic which has out
grown the capacity of the railroads
: should. ,be made more prominent Ia
, the platform of next year than Il
has been in any previous one..tf ,,
Declarations against unlawful and
Oppressive trusts, corrupt control ol
Ipolitics and other familiar evils will
OF course, be written by the conven.
yon. but the platform should he
strongest in affirming the principles
upon which this Republic was sc
, firmly founded by the fathers. Rightly
| Iapplied, those principles provide fol
every good thing people of Americs
need for their happiness and welfare

Re"-nothing could exceed Madam's
sweetness-'you are somewhat unbe-

are going to open his eyes. Tomorrow
night the Bishop comes. Your husband

hour before your husband. You will
see what you will see."
She kissed Mrs. Susan's wet cheek
and was gone, leaving the other woman
oddly comforted, although much mysti-i
fed.
Mrs. Susan was at the Manor House.
at five of the clock punctually, taking
off her pattens and her long cloak,
humbly in the little room off the hall,
where the lackeys troubled her by Of
fering her their services. 1t still rained,
the whole country was dripping. Some
thing Of hope and courage had come
to freshen like flower which has long
been in the drought and dust and has
suddenly had drenchlng. She began
to revive, her pale cheeks to grow firm,
her eyes bright, though her heart
thumped In her side.
The poor Prince! Parson Towne
button-holing the Bishop, who was too
profoundly interested in all mankind
to find anyone dull, blinked as his wife
came in with Madame. Her brown eyes
tiuttered like moths at twilight. She
trembled excessively. Why, she was
far more beautiful than Madame.
What scales had been on his eyes?
The Bishop bowed over Mrs. Susan's
hand. His fine face was alight with
the admiration he felt He turned to
Parson Towne.
"Ah, my friend" he said. $50 you
have been hiding Beauty from us To
think that one country parsonage should
house Learning and the Graces."
That night Parson Towne fell In love
again with with his wife, who, limo
cent soul, desired none but him, else
the fine gentlemen might have turned
her head. That night he discovered
that Madame was wrinkled and Of a
complexion somewhat yellow, while the
angels recorded that Madame went un-
rouged and wore a sacque that mis-
became her, so that Mrs. Susan should
reign alone.
Nor did she go back to be Cinder-
ella. Madame saw to that. The gifts
that came to the parsonage the pretty
woolens, the fiowered silks and mus
lins, the ribbons and furbelows-it
would take long time to catalogue.
When Madame loved, she loved And
she had taken Mrs. Susan to her good
heart. Wherefore the parsonage was
another place from what it had been.
And presently the parson, becoming
famous as man Of learning, the town
would have drawn them out of their
country greediness. But they were
wiser than to go.-Philadelphia Tele-

exalted by their condescension TO him.
He grew more absent-minded than
ever; but now 1t was an absent-mind-
edness behind which some subtle graft
fication Of his vanity lurked. He re-
buked his wife no more after that first
occasion; but his Indifference, bis un-
consciousness of her was such that she
had rather he rebuked her. During
those aching days and miserable nights
she all but washed away her pretty
eyes with her tears.
The days went on toward the inevi-
table tragic ending when Madame Chol-
mondeley should grow tired Of her
play. There were times now when
Parson Towne no longer seemed as
though he nursed a secret exhilaration.
He began by looking worried. He went
on to looking sullen and miserable. For
weeks now he had not touched his
great History. His wife wandering
into his study, during one of his fire.
quent absences found the last page Of
manuscript lying ON his table. The
dust was on 1t, that he had been used
to regard as so precious a thing.
Mrs. Susan wiped away the dust
with her handkerchief, and reading me
chanically the incomprehensible words:
Gnostics, Manicheans, Arianism, Pela-
gianism, she dropped a tear on the
page She had been overwhelmed with
the honor when the scholarly parson
had chosen little country maid like
her. And now she perceived in her
harmless thoughts that she had never
been his equal. He had but raised her
to the place by his side that she should
be cast down more irrevocably because
of that immense promotion.
Meanwhile Madame Cholmondeley
was tired Of the country, plning for
Ranelagh and st. James, and was on
the point of flight. Only before she
must leave the Manor House it was
her privilege to entertain there the
Bishop of the diocese in which she
dwelt, that famous prelate Anthony

the graces, whose plety, combined with
worldly knowledge, beauty of person,

such luster on the Church of England

such luster on the Church of England
In those days.
Now Madam Cholmondeley was de
voted to the Bishop, and he, being the
great-minded man he was, had given
her his friendship, although stage
players and the church stood far apart.
She adored the Bishop, and she was a
little afraid of him. How was she
going to tell him that just for little
cruel sport she had been making havoc
with innocent lives and those lives
which he might be supposed to have
under his speciap rotection? And she
would have to tell him. She always
told him when she had been In mis-
chief.
She was considering the problem one
day when she had stolen away from
her guests, with whose gayety she was
out of tune, and was walking In the
dripping woods. She had never meant
the thing to go so far. She had good
heart, had Madam Cholmondeley, and
she had never thought the elderly par
aon, with the pretty dowdy wife, could
have taken her play 30 desperately In
earnest.
Suddenly, as turn of the pathway.
she came face to face with Mrs. Susan.
She, poor soul, had also fed to the
woods from her trouble; and her face
was so twisted and stained by weeping
that 1t was downright pitiful.
'Why do you weep, chlld?" faltered
Madam, knowing only too we'll the
cause of the weeping.
The two women stood facing each
other; about them the smell of the wet
earth and leaves and the drip, drip
from the melancholy branches. Madam
was very pale. Her rouge was streaked
by the rain or her tears,
"Alas, Madam, you know only too
WE'LL" cried Mrs. Susan, shaking and
sobblng, why did you, whose beauty
men cannot resist, stoop to take my
husband from me. Now he sees me as
I am by the light of your beauty, with
cred before my time, worn with hard
work, while you You have
the world Of men at you feet. Why
could you not leave me my husband?'
Suddenly Madam began to laugh,
even while the tears made little rivers
through the rouge. She laughed with
the fresh irresistible gayety which had
had set the playhouse in roar, some
thing as fresh as primrose and as inno-
cent, which had made the wits call
