Hill and the Democracy.

On the eve of sailing for Europe David
r. Hill yesterday left this little Observa-
ton TO his more or less agitated country
men: The old democratic party is dead"
'Tis true, tits pity; pity tbs, it's true. 1t
was a sturdy old organization, numbering
many able and patriotic men among its
leaders. 1t made some grave mistakes,
but it did good service at times as a
check on its more successful rival But
what of the new democratic party? Mr.
Hill has his doubts about that. So have
many other politicians. And yet in poll
tics as in other things. the old is con-
stantly giving place to new lest one good
custom should corrupt the world. Thus
saith the poet. We must wait and see.
The new party may fail of all its pur-
poses, but the old can never be revived.
If the new party fails. newer still will
take its place. Parties do not go back
ward. Mr.. Hill shows his age in his sigh
for the old days and his .disparagement of
the new. Let him be comforted. The
present new will itself become old, and
then il too will be sighed for.

A Worker for the People.

Mr.. Charles F. Weller's resignation as
general secretary of the organized charity
work of this District removes a useful
man from the local field He has
served here faithfully in the cause of
practical philanthropy long enough to
Grasp the peculiar problems of the capt
tai, and has aided materially in their
solution. Mr.. Weller represents the
new. charity idea. which is that the best
way TO help the poor is to enable and
encourage them to help themselves. In all
his activities in Washington he has shown
=, high spirit of good citizenship and has
generously given of his time and strength
outside of his immediate official activities
In trying to ameliorate harmful conCli-
lions, He now goes to Pittsburg to under
take the same line of work, but in .circum-
stances which attract him strongly 1t is
unfortunate that the local organization is
not we'll enough supplied with funds to
bold SO excellent worker despite all
offers Washington should organize its
charities upon the principle that only the
best will answer the needs of this COM
munity. 1t is to be hoped that as well
qualified man as Mr.. Weller may be
found TO take his place.

Some strange things happened in the
election in Georgia the other day. includ-
ing. of course, the defeat Of Gov Smith,
But the outcome of the voting in the
county In which the capital is located for
the office of coroner is the strangest Of
all. This office has for years been given
to veterans Of the war, usually crippled
men Of at least middle age with some
faint medical knowledge. This time one
of the candidates was a blind musician Of
comparatively tender years, who sought
the Office for pecuniary reasons. 1t has
been his burning ambition to go to Num-

had gone into the district to lend his own
personal influence to the campaign. He
won that skirmish, and a senator pledged
to the passage of his bills was elected.
Then another senator was stricken with
illness and seVious operation was per-
formed The special session called by the
governor was delayed in hope OF his re-
covery. Nothing finer in the history of
American legislation has ever been wit
messed than Senator Foelker's plucky re-
Spouse to the call Of duty when the hour
came for the vote upon the bills. The
spectacle of this man leaving a sick bed
in charge of physicians to cast the de-
Gliding vote upon the anti-gambling bills,
at the risk of his life. should inspire every
most effort to maintain the standards of
citizenship and to secure the enactment of
wholesome. legislation. state and federal.
If every voter in the United States who
believes in the institutions which form
the foundations of THIS government
showed half the spirit of Senator Foelker
of New York at all seasons there would
be infinitely less mismanagement fraud
and corruption. In some respects 1t is
fortunate that Gov. Hughes failed at the
iiSt seSSioH anu SucCeeOeu al the Speclal
session by the narrowest of margins with
the aid of this sick legislator Nothing
could have more emphatically demon
strated the urgent need of the legislation
enacted yesterday than this spectacle OF
self-sacrifice.
There will. of course, be contests and
appeals to the courts to prevent the exc
cution of these new laws and to preserve
the racing game from extinction in New
York state, its great stronghold. But such
maneuvers. even though successful at
first. will ultimately fail The country is
bent upon reform. and nothing can prevent
the ultimate elimination of this evil, which
has thrived so long at an appalling cost in
treasure and in human lives

Some Observations.
From the Roanoke Times.

There are two ways of doing good, the
rampant, rip-rOaring way, and the quiet,
conservative way. Between these there
are all sorts Of. shades and degrees. But
every one is familiar with those who
represent the two kinds. for they fix
wherever we go. Too often they are in
antagonism. The plunging iconoclast,
impatient of delay, is filed with con-
tempt for the man who seems to lag in
the work Of life. The, plodder Is filled
with dismay and distrust of the efforts
Of the man who Is i'm hurry and cares
not what he may destroy in his onward
path. The conservative man suspects the
motives of the man who breaks his way
as he goes, and the air is filled with the
noise of. combat between those who are
seeking to better themselves and their
fellOW-men.

Gov. Hughes Victory.

From the New York World.
Numerically Gov. Hughes legislative
defeats Outnumber his victories. But in
the public service commissions bill last
yesr and in the anti-race-track gambling
bill now, the two measures which the
governor especially singled out, he wrested
victory from a resentful and most reluct-
ant legislature. On both of these Dues
tiOns the people were with the governor.
On both of them he was prelminarily de-
feated. On both of them he won, not be-

Bryan and the South.

Virginia and Kentucky were gathered
into the Bryan fold yesterday. They be-
longed there, but nevertheless the har-
vesting tells a story of interest elsewhere
In the Bluegrass state everybody in the
convention was for the peerless leader
Men who had openly opposed him in 1896
and covertly ever since. Wed with Bry-
antics all wool and a yard wide In chant
ing the Nebraskan's praises. Some were
begging the privilege of going to Denver
under instructions to vote for his nomi-
nation. Mr.. Watterson, SO long the leader
or the ant1-Bryanites, was at Lincoln en-
Joying MIR. Bryan's hospitality Every
thing moved smoothly. sweetly and swiftly
TO the glory of the orator of the Platte
Harmony was the only wear
In the Old Dominion there was a noisy
but feeble show of opposition to Mr.
Bryan, but when the test of strength
formally came Mr.. Bryan had six votes
to one. And. to cap the climax of the
triumph, Senator Daniel. who had op-
posed instructions. was put at the head
of the instructed delegation.
Ihus ends the Wall street effort to de-
feat Mr.. Bryan for the nomination
through attacks on his southern line.
Ihe maneuver began last year, when GER
tam estimable southern leaders were
decked out in Wall street praise of such
an extravagant character their friends
were mystified and they hardly knew
themselves. Culberson, Gray, Daniel
Hoke Smith, even Gov. Beckham. were
made to wear Joseph's. coat of many
gaudy adjectives. One after another fig
ured as the democracy's hope and the
country's real desire.
The south refused to bite She resented
the indignity of being baited for a sucker
The hook showed plainly. So Texas. with
the highest appreciation of Mr.. Culber-
son, instructed for Mr.. Bryan, Georgia
has made Hoke Smith impossible, while
Virginia now sends Mr., Daniel and Ken
lucky Mr.. Beckham to Denver to
strengthen the Bryan boom. Only Della
ware, petite and susceptible. yielded,
though against Judge Gray's expressed
wishes, and put her little brood of six
chicks at the disposal of the anti BRYAN
ties.
1t will always remain q question for dis
cussion as to what would have happened
If Immediately after Mr.. Bryan's Madison
Square declaration in favor of govern
ment ownership and operation of railroad DIS
some strong man in the democratic party
had taken the field. not against the
policy. but against Mr.. Bryan. But none
did. Many deplored the deliverance, but
nobody challenged Mr.. Bryan to fight to
finish The result was that Mr.. Bryan
executed with skill retreat, and made
himself stronger than ever as commander
chief of the democratic forces. And
today there is none to dispute his commits

Loneliness.

From far away through the wood SO still
Comes the sobbing note Of the whippoor-

The moon that rises so cold and white
Stares at the world with a look of fright,
And the trees in the shadow toss and
moan
When you're trudging the weary way
alone!
Another time. what a friendly note
Has the whippoorwill with the tireless
throat!

AS jolly face as could be found,
And the sigh Of the wood Is a tranquil

whether he is qualified to serve. There is

law does require that the coroner shall

out of the difficulty by having deputy
appointed who is to do all the legal look
