bull, but 1t was only the pressure OF
grim necessity that taught them their

and the man looks around for weap-

or not There was a time when he did.
For man, today the most lordly OF
animals, was once well nigh the most
humble OF them all. He has come up
out OF q state in which fear was the
normal condition of exLstence-fear Of

he Is our reincarnation, and his every

Success is not the Test.

The following inquiry from the
Norfolk Nirginian-Pilot, probabl,
published week or so ago. esca ped
The Journal, but is called To our
attention by the Blackstone Cou-
rier. which reprints il:
Does The Richmond Journal
really think that Mr.. Bryan ought
even to be considered in connection
with the next Democratic nomina-
tionl"
The Richmond Journrl believes
that the money of Wall Street and
the greed of the tariff beneficiaries
constitute continuing menace to
the permanency of the American
Republic set up by the Revolution
airy patriots, and further than that
believes that millions of voters in
the Democratic party land other
parties, tool believe likewise.
1t believes that Mr.. Bryan is the
ablest, the most far-sighted, and
the most incorruptible and uncam-
promising leader of this intensely
earnest protesting minority that
has risen up.
If William of Orange, the
founder of the Netherlands, had
been deserted in the face of defeat
not one defeat, butmany, through
the greater part of his life-by the
true hearts of a faithful minority.
Philip and Rome would have con-
quered the Low Countries and the
flourishing Protestant kingdom of
our day would have no place in
history.

justice between and among all men.

South and the Tariff.

The South and the Democratic
party. in spite Of individual varia-
tions, believe that taxes should be
levied only to provide the Govern
ment with revenue" says the
Philadelphia Record. That is the
spirit of the Constitution. the practice
of the Fathers and the end of the
long Anglo-Saxon fight against
privilege. If Congress shall
eliminate most of the spoliatory
features OF the tariff the Repub-
lican party may meet with increas-
ed favor in the South. But even
after that it has thrown the negro
overheard, so long as it adheres to
a tariff of bounties for private
interests, so long will the South
be solidly arrayed against it."

Democratic Reorganization.

Not long after the ovcrN helming
disaster that overtook the Demo
cratic party az the ballot box in
1872, a movement was set on foot
by many prominent Democrats To-
disband the party and reorganize
on different lines. Allen q Thur
man, then senator from Ohio,
was invited To- attend a conference.
but declined with the remark that
he did not believe that there was
an cdilice Ia tie Union biz enough
To shelter at ouc time enough men
TO dissolve the Democratic par;
And the odd Roman" was right
Is th" alt showed. for the next
succec!ingS Congress contained a
Democratic majority of some four
score, and at the next succeeding
presidential election, ali Democrats
believe and some Republicans ad-
nit, Samuel j. Tilden and Thomas
A. Hendricks were elected Presi-
dent and Vice President of the
United States.
Mr.. Tilden, the wisest Democrat
since Jefferson, and as rightly gift
cd with an infallible common sense
as Abraham Lincoln himself, had
declared that as soon as the Demo-
cratic party again became Demo-
cratic it would win victories.
Democratic Congresses were chosen
In 1874, 1876, 1873, 1882, 1884,
1856, 1890. and 1892. There was
no talk of reorganization of the
Democratic party at any time dur
ing that double decade, and for the
reason that the party was Demo-
cratic, militant, and generally
victorious.
But the old party has quaffed to
the dregs the poisoned chalice of
un-Democracy and is sunk TO the
waist in the slough of defeat, and
every four years there is a move
ment set on foot to "reorganize"
the party. At the dinner of the
Southern Society in New York the
other night, that brilliant South
erner and eloquent orator, Martin
w. Littleton, of the elite of the
American bar, suggested the re-
organization. Cuibono! Because
the party ceased to be Democratic
fourteen years ago, since when the
goats of pupulism and the wolves
of socialism are all too numerous
among the Democratic sheep.
The returns of the presidential
election at the North would argue
that in the dominant section there is
no Democratic party; but the victor
les of Harmon in Ohio, Marshall
In Indiana, johnson in Minnesota,
and the splendid race made by
Stevenson in Illinois argue that
the tap root of the old party of
Jefferson, jackson, and Tildep i
still sound and vital enough to
produce giant tree whenever true
Jefiersonism nourishes and waters
it.
But the option is with the South.
Whenever that section shall pro-
coed to separate the agrarian sheen
from the Democratic goats, there
VIII again arise at the East and
the North a militant Democracy
suchas that of the period 1S76-lS92.
The South must decide-with
her is the responsibility Wash
