Senator Harrison of Mississippi has emerged from Che death-lke coma in which he had lain for three days a result of collision with solid i'm movable object while in pursuit of rainbow's end. He is heard to with eyes yet closed that he hears the little birds singing.
 He also whispers that the Democratic party Is not dead. Of it is not dead; it is mori- bund; it is not in critical condition. It is only stunned and from the effect of that it will certainly recover It is not easy thing kill off either of the two great parties. After or less crushing de- feat of either them. short sighted and minimizing people among the victors have always predicted the complete demise of the conquered party, but it has always back and so the Democratic party will come back No great party in the United States has ever died Several of them have changed thier names all of them have from to time changed their principles The Republican and the Democratic par ties done that retaining only their traditions.
 It is quite probable now that neither will . again change it's name. It's policies may go by the board. but the Democrats will always claim lneal descent from Jefferson and and the Republi cans will always invoke the memory of Lincoln and Roosevelt So. we endorse the ncoherent muttering of Senator Harrison so far
 Just what he means, though. when he further says: "the Democratic party win make itself felt every day of every session congress until the next election rolls around we do not know. If he had omitted any reference to the next election we might hope that he had attempted to give pledge of the Democratic party's hepfulness in the great task which the Republican party has assumed and which to be accomplished with the greatest promptness must have brought to it the united efforts of both parties.
 But we suspect that the senator has offered such pledge but rather threat that the Demo cratic party will employ itself during the next four years in compromising war medicine do that of course and perhaps. defeat the efforts of the Republicans to restore the country to firm basis (assuming that the Republicans win earnestly at tempt that,) the Democratic party would be caught at a work of obstruction and the people would punish it again.
 The people in temper to watch the game of politics. They have sterner and more important business. It has been manifested most enthusiastically within the last eight that the party loyalty of the American people is at low ebb and is steadily sinking. They have come to a true conception of the functions of party It is not sentimental thing to be sustained and honored like the American flag, but 1t Is an instrument, vehicle for every day As long as 1t is useful party power will used but when it falls into dsrepair will be cast aside for the other party which is usually put in repair during a period of retirement.
 The people leave to politicians the duty of caring for the vehicle the putting the keeping of 1t in repair. either while in in retirement They allow the politicians the machine and will tol- rate them so long they 1t right.
 Senator Harrison win find that he re- pair the Democratic machine by inserting monkey wrenches among the gears of the Republican ma chine That worked time when people put up with the least bad of two bad machines. Now they are insisting upon the better of two instruments of government.
