DEMOCRACY IN DEATH.

Cleveland's quiet and unostentat!-
Gus funeral will be counted by the
American people as one of his most
characteristic and democratic acts,
for undoubtedly the arrangements for
his burial were dictated b. him be-
fore his death.
Europeans doubtless will read the
accounts of the burial of one of our
chief rulers. with amazement at C1fR
simplicity and lack of gaudy display
Some foreign observers maybG eren
think We are lacking in appreciation
or respect in not making more of the
event, but throughout the nation a
sober approval of the dead presi'
dents course is apparent.
Nothing happened in Cleveland S
administrations to focus the public
gaze on his virtues, as the assassin 8
bullet did for Lincoln. Garfield and
Mckinley. For these presidents. their
martyrdom set off the grandeur of
their characters in sharp relief But
for the larger number of presidents
who die natural deaths and whose
work falls in pfosaic times. funeral
Ike Cleveland's is emnently Ameri-
can from the absence of pride in
death.

KALEIDOSCOPE

No one subject holds public atten-
ton for long. The battleship fleets
cruise is as important as 1t ever was,
still the only notices We see are brief
ones. But though great events have
brief newspaper lives, while they do
exist, they absorb public attention.
Scarcely anything could be found
in the papers last week but the Chi
cago convention. Echoes of that
event still appear in the news col
umns. but these will be drowned out
early next month by the Denver con-
vention And in the interval some
thing will absorb public interest, II
only the directoire gown.
This insistent demand for some
thing new. is seen in every phase of
our national life. Repetition is fatal
now in advertising. and the wise mer-
chant ignores the slightly higher cost.
to get the greater advantage of a
varied presentation of his store news.
is more generally read
than ever and for the reason that
readers know they will not be bored
by standing advertisements. Varia-
tions in style. in literature, in archi-
lecture, and in all other human pro-
duets show the eternal quest after
different. IL is the life of
progress.

DIR. CHAMPION CONVICTED.

Kentucky made a long stride to-
eyes of the world by the actual con-
viction in a state court. of night
rider. this morning in Benton. when
the jury returned verdict of one
year in the penitentiary against DR..
f. Champion. Although the penalty
Of one year in the penitentiary inn
posed may appear insignificant when
compared to the crime committed,
the fact that a conviction was Sc
cured. the first in the state, will have
a salutary effect and will doubtless
prove the opening wedge for a return
to reason.
Dismal predictions about the i'm
possibility of eonvicting with jury
of citizens chosen from the heart of
the black patch are refuted conclu-
sively in this trial. II is true that
the jury was from McCracken county.

good opportunity to become preju-

Reed by their vigorous and courage

the gratitude of all rlght-thlnking
citizens. The life of the state itself
depends upon maintaining the sover-
eighty of the courts. and upon estab-
fishing the fact that murder. arson

with impunity.
Far-reaching effects ought TO be
felt in the succeeding trials in Ben

will revive confidence in ourselves. 1t
will open up a prospect of peace and
tranquility for the state, through
the vindication of Justice. The report

BARBARN PIRATES.

European maritime commerce. and
when the United States began to be
factor in shipping, they confidently
assessed out vessels in common with
those of other nations
But there they bucked up against
The Yankee sense of honor-a most
iouchy thing. To pay tribute to 10.
of sea-going bandits riled the Ameri-
can idea of fair dealing. So we re-
fused. The pirates brought all the
theatrical methods into use to intim-
idate us, that had been so successful
in cowing Europe. When the smoke
of battle cleared off the Mediterran-
can sea, Mr.. Pirate was down and
out for all time. All the world APP
plauded our manly course.
We have in America custom
which is as essehtisny outrageous and
sindefenslble. as thes practice of the
Barbary pirates To submit to II l.
rs dishonorable, as was the weak
ute. That costum is tipping. In our
hotels. around our railroad stations.
and in every public place, there
swarms a host OF men who demand
tribute from every passerby, in the
form of tips. Practically all of them
are paid for their services by other
parties. 80 that their demands upon
the public for contributions. are not
founded in any clear-cut service they
render
Tipping is paying tribute to lot
of civil pirates who will flourish Just
so long as the public allows them.
But-one of these days. a movement
against this un-American practice
will start, that will annihilate II as
completely as those Barbary pirates
were All that is necessary is bold
stand against il, and it will perish
because it is founded in wrong.
