THE SAINT DAY OF DEMOCRACY.

Monday was the anniversary of the battle of New Or
leans, and January 9Th is always the most welcome day
for the Democracy to celebrate. During the balance of
the year they are the disciples of Jefferson, but it was
Jackson who gave them the shibboleth of ito the victors
belong the spoils," and after a Democratic victory that
shibboleth comes and fingers on their lips like the aroma
of old wine and in their souls like the ~strophies of some
ancient grand anthem. Hence they celebrate. And we
do not blame them, for Jackson was a much manlier man
than jefferson, a much truer man, and then after a vic
tory why should they not celebrate. That their victories
do not come very often should give their rejoicing all the
more zest when they have one.
Generally before election they are confident up to cleo
ton night and then deplorng the perversity of the peo-
This last year the unexpected happened. They had a
rousing victory, and on Monday they celebrated and pre-
dcted for themselves a long lease of power, claiming
understanding that the Democracy is it. And we out
siders will rejoice with them, keeping in mind that a
merciful providence while sometimes a little slow, sees
to it that the ravens are finally fed-Goodwin's Weekly.

STA of the possibility of concluding a
seperate peace between free Russia
and the powers of Teutonic militar-
ism. Among our Socialistic party
leaders no one has ever gone so far
as to suppose that any agreement is
advisable in this direction. Repre-
sentative opinion abroad should take
more calmly some isolated voices
that are asking for immediate steps
in preparation for peace. Any Rus
sian proposal to this end will hold
it essential that Russia shall act then
as always. in complete harmony with
