THE RISING STORM.

There is liable to be tension between
the President and the Senate during
this session the like of which will be
almost unprecedented between a pres
ident and his party. The character of
the president seems but little under
stood by the country at large in bis
dealings with those about him. To
say he is dogmatic, domineering and
dictatorial, is putting it mildly. But
he is all of these and then some. The
changes in his cabinet if nothing else
would evidence that. Few people
know who the cabinet Officers are,

Our legislature might pass a bill re
curing capital offenses to be expiated
In the State penitentiary. We have
had many reasons since the last ses-
sion to show the wisdom of such a
law. The bill would be simple one,
many States have law Of this char
acter, and our county jails are such
affairs as to make it unsafe to house
therein desperate criminals. Beside
this it would save heavy expense.
Public hangIngs have no terrors for
the living law breaker. He possibly

A SACRIFICIAL LAMB WANTED.

party, of the prospects of Democratic
success, and Of Republican misrule
1t told how important that there
should be an unbroken front presented
by the Democrats. and wound up by
showing how this could be accomplish
ed, and the following is its plan.
What glorious occasion for Mr..
Bryan to shine as the most brilliant
star in the armament of poIiticsl With
bis vast influence in the party and bis
commanding position, he has within
his power, by tue temporary sacrifice
of his ambition, to weld together all
the discordant elements and to lead
the party, through his wisdom, self
sacrifice and courage, to certain vic

What q glorious bit of tommy rot
What hypocritical fattery. If Mr..
Bryan can shine las the most brilliant

welding together the various factions
which according to the Sun can be &C

render simply TO satisfy the cravings
of lot of deserters from Democratic
ranks. Nobody wants to buy them al
such price. They are not worth
gathering in if they must come back
and come only by the elimination OF
the only man who has influence In bis
party sufficient to carry his own State
or weld" discordant factions. But
what must strike one as the essense of
cheek is that they, those who form the
factions, should require Mr.. Bryan to
go before they can return. How self
sacrificing these gentlemen are. Can
these gentlemen not surrender some
thing as we'll as Mr.. Bryrn? Is it pos
sible that there must be such q sacri-
flee made by him to save such worth
less sinners If anybody is to surrender
to insure Democratic harmony let 1t
be those who brought Democratic in
harmony about, let it be the deserters.
1t is scarcely possible that either Mr.
Bryan or the LOYAL Democrats who
have meyer boil ted will be caught by
such bait, and those who think they
can get the people to support George
Gray of Delaware, deserter, or John
son of Minnesota, who cannot carry
bis own State in National election,
or Judson Harmon an old member Of
Cleveland's cabinet, must think less of
the rank and file of the Democratic
party than it has so far deserved.

md many we'll Informed people can
not tell those who have been in the
asst seven years. just now Mr.. Cor
telyou is leaving, or has left, the cabi
net. Ostensibly this is to accept
pcoffered position in New York which
he has won over and over again by his
"klDdness'' or wisdom in placing
funds in the proper de
posltories." But the reason he leaves
just now rather than later is said to
have origin ated in the White House.
1t is fact that with the exception Of
Root and Taft the present cabinet is
possibly the weakest aggregation ever
assembled about Washington, and
that the country is not in worse straits

worth your while to do so. One very
pleasing feature that will come TO your
notice is the fact that every room in the
building will have an outside window,
giving plenty of light and fresh air to
each apartment. This is very impor-
