The country may say that whether

should not hesitate for moment 1t

The independence Expenses.


The extraordinary enthusiasm which
developed at the founding OF the Ia
dependence party has no record in the
document listing the campaign ex-
penditures, recently filed with the
secretary Of state of New York. The
throngs which We're reported to be
docking 10 the reform organization
felt that II sufficed If they lent the
support of their lungs while holding
tight TO their pocketbooks.
1t appears that of the S42,502 con-
tributed TO the campaign fund, VIII
liam Randolph Hearst furnished S42,
295. The only other contribution
came from the sale of campaign SOU
venirs. 1t seems, then, that Mr.. His
gen, although a wealthy man and the
candidate for the presidency, lost
nothing except time in his battle for
principle. John Temple Graves, striv-
ing for the vice presidency. supplied
the moving magic of his eloquence and
the singular beauty of his presence.
This is as it should be; the only
man who made anything out of the
formation of the Independence party
in the way of prestige, notoriety and

Well, IL her apples had not gone to

Then she read the letter. The writer

his properly British bags and boxes
and took the first available vessel for

For all his haste, his British train

In good stead, and he had provided

had known Ivy's father, then dead, so
the very unconventional trans Atlantic

young English squire was greatly facil-

mother of Ivy Chudleigh, and with
quite un-British impetuosity begged the
privilege IF paying his addresses to her
daughter.
Like a young Lochinvar from the
East, instead of the West, he wooed
her, and to such good intent and result

Where Is the Democracy's Hone.
Has the Democratic party a future ?
If SO, how may it best be realized
These questions continue 10 be dis

There is an optimistic article OH this
subject in the December Forum. IIcn:y
litchheld West, under the title The
Future Of Democracy" gives his idea
Of what the party has 30 preserve 1t

He notes first the vitality that the
organization has always displayed.
Since the war it has met defeat after
defeat. 1t has elected a president only
twice. And yet after every reverse it
las continued undaunted, hopeful, opti-
mlstic. At every national election ii
comes bravely forward and fights hard
Not only is its vitality remarkable,
but its real principles are eminently re-
spectacle. 1t is a low tariff party, q
strict constructionist party. a states
rights party, party opposed TO the ex-
tension of the executive power. The
catch issues of the last few years have
not destroyed these fundamental ideas
What, then, does the Democratic par
t. need t. win? To us Ii seems that
the answer is reasonably clear Some
lay circumstances will push one Of
these important issues to the front-in
all probability without the party's aid
and then Democracy's great chance

Selling the issues of the moment has
profited the party little No single one
Of them has united it. But it is not un-
likely that one of the great issues men-
toned would accomplish this. as in the
days of Cleveland and Tilden, inspiring

antagonist to Republicanism.
In that way the vitality which has
enabled 1t to survive frequent defeats
would stand 1t in good stead. The hope
fulness which springs eternal In the
Democratic breast should prove a great
offensive force. We may well.ask our
selves what a party which displayed
such sanguine courage In the face of
sure defeat last November would be
capable of accomplishing under steady
guidance and with the inspiration of
great issues.
But this Is not exactly Mr.. Vests
view of what Democracy should do. He
holds that it must regain the confidence
II the people-that 1t must nominate
someone whose name and record will
be an assurance Of safety to the bust
ness interests Of the nation" And he
adds that 1T is a mere waste of words
to predict that no one who lacks this
assurance will be elected -
True enough, but not the entire truth.
