pemocracy the Antidote.

Frequently since General Grant
was a candidate for third term we
have heard OF the man on horse
back as a fear of what will some
time happen in this republic. That
dread has now seized the minds of
many people through the evident in
tention of Theodore Roosevelt to
make himself master OF the republic
can party. They fear that he is a
candidate for a third term, and If
elected-then for a fourth term, and
thus gravitate to the man-on-horse-
back. This dread or usurpatiOn by
any man should not disturb any sem
sible person. The patriotism of the
great majority of the American peo-
pie would rebel against any such at
tempt and any coterie or party who
would endorse such a movement
would be smothered under an avail
anche of opposing votes.
There is but one danger to guard
against and that could only be i'm
minent in consequence Of a long war
with some foreign nation in which
a great and successful general would
be developed, without whose efforts
defeat would be probable; or If de-
feat occurred he would seize the reins
of government in consequence of the
exhaustion of the civil power fol-
lowing an overwhelming disaster.
But there are no grounds for fear
ing such a catastrophe. In the near
future it is probable, that, as the
people gain more power, both the
army and the navy will be reduced
instead of being increased as the re-
publican leaders have long desired.
Those timid souls who dread the
future and those who imagine such
vain thing as a usurper, can rest
assured that the great mass of the
people of the United States will
stand firm for the constitution and
the laws based upon 1t and democ-
racy which is founded thereon.

Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise
Children.
Children's taste is ofttimes more &C
curate in selecting the right kind OF
food to fit the body, than that OF
adults. Nature works more accurately
through the children.
A Brooklyn lady says: Our little boy
had long been troubled with weak di.
gestion. We could never persuade
him to take more than one taste OF
any kind of cereal food He was a
weak little chap and we were puzzled
to know what TO feed him on.
"One lucky day we tried Grape-Nuts
Well, you never saw a child eat with
such a relish, and it did me good to
see him. From that day on it seemed
as though we could almost see him
grow. He would eat Grape-Nuts for
would have liked the food for dinner.
"The difference in his appearance is
something wonderful
my husband had never rancied Ger,
cal foods of any kind but he became
very fond of Grape-Nuts and has been
much improved in health since using
it.
I'VE are now a healthy family and
naturally believe in Grape-Nuts.
"a friend has two children who
were formerly afflicted with ricketts,. 1
was satisfied that the disease was
caused by lack of proper nourishment.
They showed it. So l urged her to
use Grape-Nuts as an experiment and
the reult was almost magical.
"They continued the food and today
both children are well and strong as
any children in this city, and, of
course, my friend is firm believer in
Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence
before her eyes every day"

Serious Army Conditions.

The republican party has been
spending an average of over $685.
100000 a year on the army Of 49,
1872 men, and yet Inspector General
Darlington in his annual report de-
clares that present conditions are
"the most fruitful source of profess
sional disease" In one department
nearly a third of the line officers
were absent from duty. One inspec-
tor points out a whole battalion of
artillery starting for the Philippine
service without a single field officer,
and one of the batteries commanded
by a second lieutenant of less than
two years service.
This would seem to be a very ser
ious situation that may at any time
lead to disaster. That our army is
far below mediocrity in marching ca
pacity-though we'll trained in the
use Of the rife, but the men and the
gun would be useless unless they can
be placed in position in time to be of
SERVICES the opinion of Inspector
General Bell.
The great trouble seems to be the
detail of officers to other than their
regular duties, such as to teach mill
tary tactics at colleges and schools.
An army of $4,000 In first class con-
dition is all that is necessary in these
times of peace and with the demo-
Gratis controlling the next congress
there should be a thorough investiga-
ton of the army and its reduction to
that force.

FIELD OF LITERATURE

Lippinc notwithstanding editors would
probably deny that they concentrate
more thought and energy on one num-
Der than another, yet the fact remains
that the autumn issues often seem
stronger than those which have imme-
diately preceded them. Perhaps the
editors do this unconsciously-jus as
folks in other walks of life take up
their burdens with renewed zest after
the relaxation of the summer season.
Lippincott's Magazine is one Of those
which open the fall campaign with es-
pecially meritorious October numbers.

Illinois an Exception.

Illinois is conspicuous as a western
state where republican insurgency has
found almost no footing, says the
Springfield Republican. While in one
or two cases republican congressman
have been defeated for denomination
because of their standpat affiliations.
the republican state convention was
easily dominated by Mr.. Cannon and
his friends, and the president receiv-
ed treatment notable for its friendly
regard and sympathetic support
The condition of Illinois represents
singularities, if one considers its cen
trail position in a group of states
where republican insurgency is ram
pant. Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan and Indiana are deeply in
fected with the ideas of Cummins, La
Toilette, Townsend and Beverage, and
every one of them has swung to the
insurgent standard. But Illinois seems
like fortress of the old order, still
garrisoned by defiant body of veter-
ans who have been through many pol
itical wars.
