owing to Yamagata being the recog-

his appointment to the post would
probably cause suspicion among the

looked good to him. Suddenly he saw
new light. Democracy no longer pleased
Populism appeared. and he went over to
that. The change cost him his place In
Congress. and the profession of the law.
Popuism frowned upon lawyers and Mr..
Watson took down his shingle and closed
his office.
Since then he has had an experience
which would have tried any but stout
heart. He has supported. and then re-
fused to support, democrats for ONCE.
and has run for Office himself. but always
as a populist. He was a factor in
Hoke Smiths success, only to be disap-
pointed in the man. He has never come
within speaking distance Of an office
for himself since he left the democracy.
Still he sticks. Bryanism is not more
to his taste than was Clevelandism, al
though the Clevelandites assert that Bry-
anism is nothing but populism.
But where is that other Georgian who
went over to Mr.. Hearst along with
Mr.. Hisgen. and ran for Vice President
last year on the Hearst-Hisgen ticket ?
Is Col. Graves wearying of we'll doing ?
Was he discouraged by the November
returns? He, like Mr.. Watson, was at
one time prominent and aggressive
democrat, but at last lost hope in that
party for usefulness. and cast in his
rhetorical lot with Mr.. Hearst. Should
he copy Mr.. Hisgen's example and return
to the democracy, the change might not
show in the next Georgia election fig
ures. but it might contribute to the
gayety of the state and the nation.

More French Trouble.

1t is an interesting, suggestive story
that comes from Paris explanatory OF the
failure to launch the battleship Danton al

dispatch the sinking Of the great ship
on the ways was not accidental, but the
result of interference with the stocks by
the vorkingmen. 1t appears that for
some time strong anarchistic and social.
istic spirit has prevailed among the en-
ployes at the arsenal. While the mer
were occupied with the preparations for
the launching they sang the 'Interna-
tionaie" and the Hymn TO Anarchy
SO open was the opposition to the govern,
ment that a Partisan socialist organ
printed at noon on Saturday a paragraph
which directly hinted at a blockade OF
the launching. The strike of the French
government employees has practically sub.
sided. but the spirit Of opposition is by nc
means. subdued. The incident, Of the Dan.
ton suggests that government service il
permeated with radicalisn. The failure
OF the recent strike Is no assurance OF
continued peace in the republic.

The Dreamer and His Dreams.
the New Haven Evening Register.

From the New Haven Evening Register.
A century and a quarter ago the pres
ent site of the capital OF the United
States was substantially a wilderness.
Then room was abundant. and nobody
cared that Gen. WASHINGTON and Maj.
l. Enfant, the engineer who planned his
city. were taking tremendous quantities
Of it with their plans. Little attention
was paid, in fact, to what they were do
ing. Looking back now, the builders of
cities envy them the room they had and
their freedom of opportunity. 1t would
be easy. with the present knowledge of
municipal building, to go out into the
wilderness and lay out an ideal city. To
make over a city that was spoiled in the
original making is altogether a different
thing.
Yet in those days they called Maj.
L Enfant, II they noticed him at all. a
dreamer and a visionary. But the gov
ernment whom he served has recently
taken a different view of him. In these
days We know enough TO understand that
those planners of 'Cities Beautiful who
are trying to make the best of bad sit
uations. to smooth Off the rough edges of
unshaped cities, to lay the foundations
Of beauty in further building and extern
sion, are something more than dreamers.
We shall do we'll to use that knowledge
In proper encouragement and assistance of
them in their effort. We can see some
| thing of 1.-The dream come true, and the
realiZations are good. We should have
better encouragement than scoff1ng. or
even indifference. for the .'dreamers" of

Emma Goldman.

Emma Goldman, the anarchist, contin-
ues to occupy the usual amount of space
In print. The other day she was brought
into notice by the fact that an enthusi-
astic socialist of New Jersey rushed her
and her companion. Alexander Berkman,
into q luncheon of descendants of the
Mayfiower pilgrims at an exclusive coun-
try club. The identity of these radicals
was not disclosed until after the luncheon,
when there was an explosion. Yesterday
in New York Miss Goldman was prevented
from speaking in hall, the police DEEM
ing her remarks on the subject of Mod
ern Drama, the Strongest Demonstration
Of Radical Thought" too anarchistic for
tolerance. The meeting was dispersed in
great disorder. and arrests were made.
Berkman and Miss Goldman. however,
slipped away in the confusion and were
not taken into custody.
Unfortunately no record was kept of
the woman's speech which caused the po-
lice interference If she is to be watched
thus closely some measures should be
taken TO demonstrate her dangerous char
acter so plainly that there will be no pub
lie dissent from the official action. For

quently declared that she would be de-
ported as undesirable if 1t were possible
to secure sufficient evidence. and If the

done, either because she does not fall
under the statutes or because she is too
shrewd to overstep the line in her public
utterances.
Just at present this woman remains in
a middle ground of semi-tolerance that is
particularly dangerous She Is neither
treated as a radical worthy of absolute
suppression nor given the full freedom
of speech. Consequently she is enabled
to pose as a martyr, and she is undoubt-
edly assembling a following which may
at any time give serious trouble. II 1t is
impossible at this time to rid the country
Of her presence or put her In prison for
long term she should be let absolutely
alone. II given perfect freedom of speech
she will either soon convict herself or
tire out her own crowd with her mouth
ings against government.

Great Memorial Day Speech

FROM tue new 1Ork world.
A wise and excellent Memorial day sug-
gestion comes from Cincinnati, where the
Grand Army posts have voted to dispense
with the customary grafton at the ceme-
teries and have Lincoln's Gettysburg ad-
dress read instead. Letters have been
sent to all the other posts in the country
urging them to do the same. There are
no more fitting words to utter over the
grave Of any soldier, whether he were
Union or Confederate. than this little
classic Of patriotism which Abraham Lin
coin delivered at the dedication Of the
Gettysburg cemetery. 1t is SO short that
the average schoolboy could easily men,
orize 1t in an hour, and no man who hears
it or knows 1t can fail to be better citi-
zen in consequence thereof. After all due
honor has been paid to the great captains
north and SOUTH the fact remains that it
was Lincoln who was the supreme figure
In what Mommsen, the German historian
rightly called 1.-The mightiest struggle and
the most glorious victory as yet recorded
in human annals 1t is the spirit of
Lincoln that should rightfully dominate
Memorial day. The more that the veter-
ans of the civil war can do to extend his
ideals and influence over a generation
that never knew him in the flesh, the
greater the service they will render to
that country to which their dead comrades
gave the last full measure of devotion"

BRYAN in Mild Mood.

In an interview on the tariff question
Mr.. Bryan expresses himself with less
than his usual emphasis. He thinks that
"Mr.- Aldrich and his crowd are simply
improving an opportunity made for them
last year. when the republicans adopted
a tariff plank Of doubtful meaning and
Judge Taft lodged the real question.
He then says:
LAS to the democrats who voted for
the imposition of duties. they have. as
rule. defended their conduct on the
ground that the duties voted Tor were
revenue duties. and they have not been
high duties. Measured on an ad valorem
basis. the duties ON lumber and on iron
ore are but a small portion of the price.
think that the democrats who voted
for the duties made a mistake.
The democratic platform demanded
free lumber. and I believe a platform is
binding upon all who run upon it, and
bers OF the party who were elected be-
fore the platform was adopted"
This is mild. indeed. Not sugges-
tion here Of the autocrat who scored re-
calcitrants after the election Of 1896, and
put them on notice that not until they
had humbly reperned could they hope for
democratic recognition again. The demo-
Gratis of that day who had voted with
the republicans on the money question
were denounced as republicans in spirit,
and warned that they must either for
sake their ways and company forthwith
or take UP permanent lodgment in the re-
publican party.
Here we have but gentle reproof of
democrats voting with the republicans on
the tariff question. Mr.. Bryan Is sorry
to see 1t. He Is unable to understand
how they get their consent to do it. He
points out the specific character Of the
Denver platform, and declares that it is
binding upon all democrats. But he does
not order these men to reverse them
selves, or prepare to leave the democratic
party. The note Of the autocrat is miss
inx What we hear is the friendly re-
proach Of q panied leader.
It Is the proper note in the crcum-
stances. The men in question are not to
be frightened or driven. They are obey
ing higher authority than that of Mr..
Bryan. With them the voice of their
people is the voice of God. Louisiana
wants protection on sugar. Alabama on
iron ore. South Carolina on tea. North
Carolina on lumber. Georgia on several
important articles. And SO 1t goes. Mr.
Raesn. Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Simmons, Mr.
Daniel, Mr.. Bailey and others are safe in
the votes they are casting. 1t il not in
Mr. Bryan's power to read them out Of
their party. or shake their hold on the
old folks at home"
Pts well. This is not the day of Jack
son. The present democracy is not the
democracy of jackson, although Old
Hickory signed a protective tariff bill
which Henry Clay had shaped and put
through Congress. The crack Of a whip
makes not pleasant music in the land
which the fathers have given US.
