Democratic Overconfdence.
m the New York Sun,

From the New York Sun.
1t is almost pathetic to contemplate at
this time the rejoicings Of the democratic
rank and file over the election of Mr..
Foss in Massachusetts, and the defeat In
New York of Mr.. Aldridge. They see in
these two events final contamination Of
republican downfall and appraise the re-
tirement of Messrs. Aldrich and Hale as
contrfbutory testimony. Neither personal
nor local considerations affect their &C.
stasy. The republican party is consigned
to the demnition bowwows, and trium-
plant democracy. long banished, though
unjustly, from the fount Of emolument
and perquisite. to say nothing of the
minor issue of power and authority, is
now on top with all banners waving. 1t
is all over but the shouting! We do not
say that the republican party is secure,
far from it; but we do say that il the
democracy approaches it with overcon-
fidence, interprets its misfortunes as an
abandonment Of principle and an ex-
pedient of despair and resignation, the
democratic party is doomed to bitter dis
appointment. In New York and New
England at least republican voters are to
some extent independent. Smarting under
sense of wrong, moral or economic.
they are quite capable of temporary dis
affection. They have shown it in Massa-
chusetts and in New York, but their pro-
test has not been against republicanism
as they understand 1t. They have pro-
tested against republicanism as they do
not understand 1t.

Dissatisfied.

The city man worked hard all day
In hope of future JOY.
He dreamed about the rustic way
He trod when but a boy.
Sometime" he said, "I'll take my ease
Among the flowers and the trees,
AMI leave the garish lights that blind
The weary townsman far behind"
The countryman exclaimed, "Ill make
A fortune from the farm;
And then my pile of coin I'll take
And learn the city's charm.
I'll have steam heat and fancy fare
And travel swiftly everywhere.
The old shack and the weary grind
Forever I will leave behind.
The artist strives, mid dreams of gold
To clutch the rich mans prize:
The rich man struggles to behold
Life through the artists eyes.
And so we keep, with strange unrest,
The envious and eternal quest,
DESTROYS of another's state,
Which he cannot appreciate.

Mr.. Bryan's Homecoming.

Mr.. Bryans quiet home coming, his
enemies should know, is not a happy
theme for nagging purposes. Had he
so desired. there would have been some
noise. His friends proposed a recep
ton, but he pleasantly vetoed the prop
osition. He preferred to land without
hullabaloo. and to push on to Fairview
without delay. And he was permitted
to have his way. That is the whole
story.
There was a great difference between
this occasion and the one when he met
with tumultuous reception at the
Madison Square Garden. Then he was
fresh from a tour of the world, during
which he had met many sovereigns and
celebrities and received many tributes
Of foreign respect. His opponents at
home as well as his supporters were
proud of the attentions that had been
paid him. and of the way he had borne
himself everywhere.
This time he was returning from COM
paratively a short and unimportant
journey. and had no. special message
for the multitude. He had visited
some interesting countries, where the
United States is well considered, and
where his presence had been fittingly
acknowledged but that was not, in his
opinion sufficient reason for any
demonstration in his honor in New
York or elsewhere.
1t is to be admitted that even had Mr..
Bryan consented to a reception in New
York, and had his friends done their best,
the occasion would not have compared In
size or enthusiasm with what will be Of
fered Mr.. Roosevelt in June. That Is
going to be an American record-breaker
in that line. Cannons will boom. Flags
will fly Bands will play. And the tread
Of citizens and visitors, all astir, and
tens of thousands in marching line. will
shake Manhattan Island. Even Mr.
Roosevelt, accustomed to and fond Of
such demonstrations, will feel an elation
such as he has not felt before.
But, later Mr.. Bryan will come into his
own again If Mr.. Roosevelt is the more
picturesque figure, Mr.. Bryan is the more
eloquent man. If Mr.. Roosevelt can
whoop up the boys with the greater effect
from astride a horse, MIR. Bryan can
whoop them up with the greater effect
from the stump. II Mr.. Roosevelt's deeds
are inspiring, Mr.. Bryan's words are
burning.
When the campaign opens. and the call
In his element. The stump is where he
lives; and when he shows himself there
this year he is going to be fuller of talk
and advice and prophecy than ever before
in his life.

Mr.. Fowler and the Speakership.

Mr.. Fowler's resolution. which will come
up for discussion in ten days. goes to the
root of the speakership question. The
object is to strip the Office of all power,
and make of the occupant a nonentity.
Under the proposed conditions the Speaker
would be left with nothing to decide but
points of order, and nothing to submit but
motions to adjourn.
This is revolution, and, as it affects
the popular branch of Congress, should
not popular sentiment be taken? Would
1t not be we'll to submit the proposition to
the voters in the coming campaign? That,
however. may be done. regardless of the
fate of Mr.. Fowlers resolution. The peo-
pie have heard SO much of so-called Can
nonism that everything relating to 1t, and
especially things designed TO eliminate it,
will be of interest when the republican
record is discussed.
There are many men favorable to
changes in the House procedure who have
no words of affront for Mr.. Cannon, and
no desire to see the speakership shorn of
its Importance and power. And many of
these men are democrats. The present
prospects of the democracy for control of
the next House are bright. and if they

old-fashioned politician and fighting par

what to do and how to do it. And as a
presidential campaign will be at hand, he
will want to do. and his party will ex-
pect him TO do. much for the good of the
order
IL the speakership is to be changed as
proposed. the occupant of the chair should
not be member of the House. What
representative would care to abandon the
opportunities of debats-as presiding of
fcer husband content himself with a
vote on measures he had had no part OF
lot in fashioning? What man of ability
and ambition would care to be merely a
bump on the congressional log?
