RISE or A NEW PARTY.

The rise Of the Independence Party
seems to be OF The logical and newt
ale evOlutions OF politics. II its
leading spirits are possessed OF the
shrewd generalship that profits by
the mistakes OF adversaries, this par
| ty will draw to It the throng OF voters
who have become detached from their
old ties by the mutations Of the times.
1t is not altogether In jest that i'm
partial observers declare that there Is
no real difference between the TWO
old parties. As matter Of fact, 1t is
impossible to tell a Republican from
a Democrat nowadays by any policy
that he favOrs or opposes. men, ana
not measures, are the monuments
which demarcate the two caclps. III
Republican platform at Chicago was
framed with view to winning as
many and alternating as few votes as
possible. The Denver platform will
be framed for the, same purpose. The
chief difference will be found in the
skill which the work was done.
But such a state of AFFAIRS cannot
last. II Is not we'll for the country
that It should continue. 1t is better
that a party should die than that 1t
should be a mere shadow OF its ad-
versary. Its adversary. however,
should not be the sole hope and re-
course, for in continued power are the
seeds of insolence, Indifference. and
eventual corruption. The ideal condi-
tion Is strong rivalry between two
healthy, vigorous parties, with one or
two smaller parties active eno@s:.-'
keep the big rivals on their mettle.
The country fares better when its al
fairs are administered occasionally by
new hands. representing a party that
has not Teen fattened in power too
long. II the people shall refuse to
make change next November 1t will
not be because they do not wholly de-
sire to do so, but because there is no
opposition party Of such character as
to be trusted.

will grapple with the only party now
existing worthy of the namV The In

JUNGLE REMUs" 10 DEAD.

Uncle Remus" Is dead. This an.
nouncement yesterday morning
brought profound sorrow to, the en-.
tire country. especially to those of
the younger generation whose child
6hood does not date back more. than a
score or so Of years.
Joel Chanler Harris memory will
live just as long as children love
quaint little stories Of the Uncle Re,
mus kind. and that, will be a long,
long time indeed. Uncle Remus' char.
acters are just as real and dear to
childhood In the South as Mother
Goose herself. and "Brer Rabbit" and
the rest are never to be forgotten.
1t Is good to know that the clever
old gentleman who has furnished SO
much innocent amusement for chill
dren and done no little toward easing
the burdens and smoothing tho roads
of grownups was loved and respected
by the men whose desks we're beside
his in the ONCE OF the Atlanta Con-
stitution.
The memory Of Uncle Remus is
held in tender and loving regard by
those who knew the man and well as
by those who knew only his WORK.
