How the Situation Which MIR. Wilson Faces Resembles
and How 1t Differs from That Which Mr. Cleve-
land Faced Twenty Years Ago-Some Re1ec-
tons on the Existing Conditions and Their
Bearing on the Question Of the Prob
able Duration of the Coming
Democratic Regime.

Undoubtedly Mr.. Clevelands greatest
failing as politician was his inability
to understand the temper and ideals of
the South and the West. Throughout his
public career he was a sound patriot, living
up in every crisis to his views OF duty
and policy. But he lacked Imagination
and never outgrow the limitations OF a
somewhat narrow environment. He stood
firm on ground he knew. but could follow
only beaten paths. He had acquired all
his political experience dealing with
Democratic leaders Of the type prevalent
in New York and New England. lie had
learned how to value the IRISH American
type. so conspicuous i'm iarty manage
ment in this state. With men of that sort
he was prepared TO fight or cooperate. as
the csce might be- He knew that possess
ing power or Office was the be-all ana
end-all of their creed. Ideas did not
trouble them and il would have been pre-
posterous to expect them to sacrifice any
thing for the sake OF 4 political abstrac-
ton.

WHERE CLEVELAND FAILED.

Is the Democratic restoration under
wilson 10 be more lasting than the Demo-
cratic restoration under Cleveland? III
NO. the incoming administration must
avoid the errors which. as Mr.. Cleveland
pathetically put it. brought confusion into
Tue councils of the brave in their hour Of
hlgnt In 1893 and 1894 The second
Sieveland administration was. from a
party point OF view. colossal failure. 1t
"srupted the Democracy and drove 1t
'dck again into the wilderness. What
we're the faults Of leadership which quick
converted a victorious army into dis
organized mob?

NO PANIC IN SIGHT.

Mr. Wilson also has no financial panic
on his hands. Depreciation in values may
follow a reckless interference with indus
trial conditions, long adjusted to high
protective duties. but no such acute dis
turhance is TO be anticipated as that
created twenty years ago by the silver In
nation " ovement. which aimed at revVlu-
tionizing the basis of credit and the
standard OF values. Panics are always
hard on the party i'm power. but never
quite go hard az when the party in power
begins TO fight over the remedy which IL
intends to offer an irate public. That MI
Cleveland had the right view in 1898 could
not save either him or his party. Both
factions were carried down In the poliu-
cal rout of 1894. But II Mr.. Wilson's adj
ministration is rebuked in 1914 II VIII

NNCE upon a time there were d
couple Of baseball teams that
agreed to cut out all the rough
stuff and be polite on the field even
to the umpire. And the umpire, on
his side, agreed to be polite and gen.
tlemanly and forbearing in his atti-
,ude toward the players.
That is not a Fairy Story. It is
the cold truth. 1t was tried once
just once.

Humanity TO Mules.

"In the fifteen years that have been
connected with societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty to animals in this
and other cities l never have received
a complaint alleging cruelty to a mule"
said the humane looking man. THAT
immunity of mules from harsh treat
ment is an interesting question. Why
are they immune? There are plenty
of mules. even in Philadelphia. Does
nobody beat them2 Does nobody I'M
derfeed them? If not. why not? Does
a mule show such a decided ability to
take care of himself that his owner Is
afraid to abuse him. or do men beat
mules and stave them and escape
punishment because the persons who
witness the beating and starving think
it is only a mule and not worth both
ering about? What is the explanation
of that phase of the mule question.

INDIGNANT AT LEISHMAN.
Congress May Investigate Ambassadors
Stock Dealings.

Washington, Feb. ia feeling of in.
dignation among senators and represent
tatives over the disclosure OF the stock
transactions of the United States am
bassador TO Germany, John G. A. Leish-
man, may be voiced in Congress to-day
by resolutions directing an investiga-
ton.
The matter was discussed seriously
Saturday as to whether or not such an
investigation should be held Resoln-
tions may be introduced simultaneously
in the Senate and House directing an
investigation either by the state depart
ment or by the foreign relations conf
mittee or the foreign affairs committee,
or possibly by a select committee OF
senators and representatives.
Some are inclined to advise against
this course in view of the certainty that
Ambassador Leishman will go out OF
office shortly after March 4. Their adj
vice may prevail to-day and prevent the
of the resolutions.
Other leaders in Congress take the
view that no matter if Mr.. Leishman
is going out of office there IS a duty
devolving on Congress to direct an in
quiry into the allegations concerning
the ambassadors activity in the stock
market at a time when important in
ternational complications existed.
II is probable that but for the me-
mortal exercises for the late Vice-Presi-
dent Sherman in the Senate some action
would have been taken Saturday.

sprinkling the powder over the paper
the picture at once appears. sharply de-

TO FIGHT HAMMoND's WILL.
Relatives of Typewriter Inventor AL.
Iege Undue Influence.

Atlanta, Feb. 1.-THE will of Jane.
b. Hammond of New York, the type
writer inventor, by which he left an
estate of more than S2,000000 to the
Metropolitan Museum of Arts, is TO be
contested by the heirs.
The contest was discussed Saturday
by Thomas F. Hammond of Atlanta, n
brother Of the dead man and formerly
vice. president of the Hammond Type
writer company.
The ground of the contest is to be
undue influence. The heirs will allege
that during his later years Hammond
was practically under the control of At
torney Becker and that the lawyer in
duced him to leave his fortune to the
Metropolitan museum in such way
that the fund thus created would re-
turn considerable yearly retainer to
the attorney.
Thomas f. Hammond declares that the
brought to bear upon his broth
er in New York during his later years
was not of the best. There is hint
of family scandal in the protests TO
be filed. MIR. Hammond asserts that
the estate is much more valuable than
is shown in the document filed as his
brothers Will.
