Press. Tho war dopartmont might well ro servo some of its indignation for tho atrocious nets of Lieutenant Arnold. It is tho suppression of such informa tion that oncourages vicious methods in tho army. Washington (D. C.) Post. If any ono can toll by what right Davo Hill or Qrovor Clovoland glvo advico to tho democratic party about 0,500,000 democrats would like to hoar it. Men who assist republicans are not usually qualified to glvo acceptable advice to democrats. Joplin (Mo.) Globe. If tho democratic party should bo Olovolandlzod' and Hopkinizod a fw more times, tho sorvicos of an under taker will not bo requlrod. Tho bad smell, which alono will remain, can be placed In cold storage and kept as a memento of tho crimo of '90. Danville ,(111.) Democrat. Tho Pennsylvania republicans de clared for an "honest ballot and a fair count." . They did not say whore, but it is evident they meant to say In tho southern states. They certainly did not moan in Philadelphia, or any other part of Boss Quay's baliwlck. Paducah (Ky.) News-Democrat The Tennessee republicans say: "Realizing that capital is a creature of labor wo favor tho equitable adjust ment of both." Which is to say: "Re alizing that the tail is but an attach ment growing onto the dog, wo favor an equitable adjustment whereby tho tail and tho dog shall wag each oth er." Tennessee republicans are very bright. Memphis (Tenn.) News. A correspondent asks: "What was the most potont factor In defeating Bryan in 1896." This is easy. Tho most potent factor in Bryants dofoat was that ho and the democratic party had to bear tho stigma pf tho Grover Cleveland administration. Had It not been for that no amount or money or intimidation or ballot box stufUng could have defeated Bryan. -Joplln (Mo.) Globe. There will bo rehabilitation of tho democracy. As memory of tho period from 1893 to 1897 fades, tho democ racy's future becomes clearer and brighter. It has passed through tho "slaughter house to tho open grave" predicted by Watterson in 1892 and is now itself again. But it will not hark back, Grover, to the "good old days" when tho wrecker of-party hopes and party organization was at the helm! Milwaukee (Wis.) News.

Minneapolis Times. who do not follow the "pie wagon of politics" and who banished the would be destroyer of the democratic party Will never again worship the false idol at Princeton. He should remain loyal to the republican party with which he has affiliated since 1892. Columbus (O.) Press. "Wo can stand weak-kneed republi cans in office, writes a Pittsburg dem ocratic friend to the Democrat, "but good Lord deliver us from democrats of the McKinley stripe." Democrats of tho McKinley stripe are really re publicans. They have no sympathy with democratic purposes and dem ocratic Ideals make no appeal to them. They aro "conservative." They be lievo with Mr. Hanna in "letting well enough alone." They think we can acquire an honest title to distant Isl ands by conquest and purchase. They put the dollar before the man. Com merce they exalt above conscience. They tremble when wrong is assailed in the language which Thomas Jeffer son employed in denouncing George III. They desire to drive the govern ment out of the banking business In order to enthrone the banks in tho government business. And tho prophet of these undemocratic democrats is David B.
