The Period of Unrest.

Those who appear discouraged
over the radical trend of affairs
should not get disheartened. Be
cause a bunch of Office seekers
would tear to pieces the institutions
of the past, and substitute all sorts
of untried experiments; because men
get keyed high, and noisy fellows
with big voices and expansive nos
trils lead the way into issues radical
enough to make a sockless states
cause the socialists are winning out
in some of the cities where the theo
ries of Marx are regarded seriously,
it does not follow that everything is
to be reversed. We have the ur-
stable, the eccentric, the visionary,
the dissatisfied, the illogical and the
experimenting elements Of society
with us at all times. Occasionally
they will coalesce sufficiently to win
temporary advantage, but usually
these elements diSintegrate as rapid
ly as they form. Reaction comes,
and the sober sense of the conser-
vative masses re-asserts itself. We
are not to assume that no. good
comes from these movements which
are not permanently successful.
During these noisy periods of evo-
luton many abuses are corrected,
and the light is turned upon those
who nave been imposing in a dis
honest way upon a trusting public.
Just now we are passing through
a period of political unrest. 1t may
result in realignment in party
fealty, but it is not going to per-
maIiently turn the government over
TO a La Toilette or a Bryan. The
latter, the most plausible of the
two, has been thrice repudiated, and
it is not likely the former will ever
reach the point of national test.
Radical reforms are often the chill
dren of those desiring office, and
they are helped along by hero wor-
shippers, who follow the fortunes of
men rather than parties.-Monti-
cello Express.

The oppressive weather and the apa-
