Three Grades of Citizens.
The discomfort in Republican ranks
is Democratic discomfort. How much
OF 1t has reached the point where
wearied with the bad workings of a
good system, it Is willing to topple
that system over and try something
new, l cannot prophesy. But l am
quite sure that whatever badges men
may wear in America this year, what
ever ballots they may cast and what
ever battle-cries they may utter, there
are but three grades of citizens. The
frst grade is made up Of the favored
few, their hangers-on and their bene.
ficiaries, who think the eagle is upon
the dollar, not as an emblem OF liberty
but as an emblem of power and who
look upon government as an annex
to their business affairs; these are
they who in the past years Of Repub.
lican misrule have turned the tenple
OF constitutional freedom into a mon.
ey-changers mart and have made OF
the coordinate branches Of govern.
ment obeisant lackeys Of the jingling
guinea.
The second grade consists of those
whose outlook upon life has been en-.
larged by the civilization under which
We live, who have been taught by the
school and the college, by the press
and the magazine, who appreciate and
enjoy the good things of life, whose
horizon has been enlarged and whose
capacity for joy and sorrow has been
increased. Conditions have become
unbearable to them. They hesitate to
hope for reform so often has it been
promised to them and so often has II
been denied. They have reached the
point where, in the. struggle for that
which they believe to be right, they
are willing to destroy the ideals of the
Republic. How many there are Of
these, do not know, but l do know
that special privilege in the Republic
is breeding them day by day like rab-
bits in a warren.

Old-Fashioned Democrats.

The third grade of citizens 1t
pleases me to call old-fashioned con-
stitutional Democrats. These are they
who believe that the equality Of man.
kind does not consist in an equality
of brain and Drawn but in an equality
whereby every man, native and for
eign-born, has an inalienable right to
exercise all of his ability in getting on
In the world just so he realizes that
In getting on he owes it to himself,
to his family and to the Republic to
see to it that he gets on honestly and
that he does not prevent any other
man from obtaining the reward of his
honesty and enterprise. These old
fashioned Democrats believe in max
ing money, but they believe that every
dollar made should be so clean that
an infant may cut it's teeth upon it.
They hold that 1t Is no part of govern.
ment to boost one man and to boot an.
other, and that any system of govern.
ment which enables one man to take
advantage of another is not system
under which a Democratic condition
of life can thrive. They hold that
from age to aga social and economic
conditions change, sut that the great
principle of the equality of all men be-
fore the law can never change while
Interpretation of this great principle
in statutory enactment, judicial con.
struction and executive conduct, will
take from the life of a people the
mighty avarice of the few, bind up
the broken hearts Of the many and
loose the bonds of all who are in slav-
cry to wrong, injustice and ignorance.
If doubted that the return Of the
historic Democratic party to power
would fail to right the wrongs of IN
dustrial life, to wipe out the injustices
of legislation and to preserve the OPP
portunity Of every man for happiness.
then my voice, now weak, would be
silent. 1t did not believe that, in-so.
far as human agency can, this party
of ours will promote the brotherhood
of mankind, would here and now re-
pudiate It, But believing as l do that
the Republic had its origin in an in
spiration which did not come from the
mere brain Of mere man but sprang
from the heart of humanity, believing
that this age more than any which
has preceded it calls for conscience
and brotherhood in governmental af.
fairs; hoping that every sacrifice of
mind and body and personal good
which has been made, Is a guaranty
of the perpetuity Of this, the latest
and greatest experiment upon the part
of a Democracy to work out its ideals
in government; and trusting that the
God of Washington, the founder, and
of Lincoln, the preserver, will still be
the God Of the republic, and will not
permit his chosen people to forever
wander in the wilderness of legis-
lative sin, / accept upon its. platform.

party for vice president Of the United

But he did not know then what ef- feet his words had on the old sauaw, for after feeding him, she returned to her own camp fire, about which sat two generations of her own flesh and blood. She had a grandson, about Andrews own age, whom she loved above all other human beings. He was her pride and joy. She gave to him the best of meat and other food of her own preparing. She caressed him with her black eyes. She spoke to him of Andrew, for after while tho swarthy lad came and stood near to Andrew and looked at him inquir- ingly. Andrew was again tactful. Good squaw- another fed white pris- oner," he said, The boy did not re- ply. "If you should become pris- oner of the white men when they wage war on your tribe tomorrow because of my having been carried of-you shall be cared for by my squaw- mother. She will cut your thongs and put bow and arrow into your hands and lead you to your own people. My squaw- mother Is like your old squaw mother-kind like the Great Spirit. She no see the young red warrior put to death tomorrow"
 The youth made not the slightest sign of understanding what Andrew said; but he returned to his doting grandmother with a moro serious face. And that night, about mid night, when all the camp was asleep, the squaw grandmother crept to the side of the securely-tied Andrew, cut the thongs which bound his hands and feet and led him cautiously out of the circle of the camphres. Then she placed his gun and ammunition

in his hand and pointed a bony finger towards the white mems home to the south. down by the great Atlantic. Andrew did not stop to say word to her in gratitude, for there was no time for ceremony. He fled with the fieetness of a deer.
 On arriving at the town he found everything in commotion. Men were arming themselves, preparatory to marching against the Indians before the morning should break. They had secured their part of the woods, but could not find a trace of Andrew. Then they had made up their minds that the Indians had played them false-had broken their treaty.
 Well, you may be sure that James Gould and his wife were the happiest couple in New Amsterdam when their eldest born walked Into the crowd of excited citizens who had not gone to bed that night. It was coming dawn, and soon the band of men would have been on their way north. Andrew came just in time. And when he told his story, the mother said:
 Another boy not so smart and brave as mine. would have been foully murdered by those Indians. But my boy outwltted them.'
 No, Mother. only appealed to the old squaw's love for her grandson. and the boys love of his own liberty" said Andrew.
 "Ah. the boy'll be a general yet" cried the father.
 And then I'll be his captain, and stop help making soap" cried John. making everybody laugh. Then all ended happily.
