Carlylo (III.) Constitution: There
is something wrong with the democ
racy that is in harmony with repub
lican opinion.
Pennaboro (W. Va.) News: Last
week Grovor Clovoland wrote a lotter
tolling tho democrats how to succeed.
It is a pity ho didn't have tlmt knowl
edge or put it into practice in 1894.
Gatling Gun, Chicago. How many
plutocratic parties do wo need in this
country? Tho g. o.,p. suits Wall strcot
to perfection. Tho party of tho peo
ple can never outbid the party of plu
tocracy for tho support of "Wall street
tru&t pirates.
Ponnsboro (W. Va.) Nows: Old
Glory was finally pulled down in Cuba
tho other day. We call attention to
this merely to show that despite tho
sanguinary utterances of tho soldiers
who do their shooting with their
mouths and load pencils, tho Hag docs
not always "stay put."
Lamar (Mo.) Leader: G. Clovoland
has written an article tolling how to
rocapturo tho democratic party. lie
speaks to his "rank and file asso
ciates." Ho should send marked co
pies to tho three in tho famous Kan
sas precinct. Wo don't know tho
proscnt postofTico addresses of tho
others.
Woodsflcld (0.) Spirit of Democ
racy: It is said that President Roosc
volt is "gottlug out of patience" with
tho disorder in San Domingo. Let us
hope the presidont will not have bad
dreams some night and got up next
morning "out of patience" with some
nation big enough to give us a lot of
trouble.
Caldwell (0.) Press: Cleveland's
defenders &eem to forgot that ho
boltqd first, that ho violated thq great
princlplo of democracy, "let the ma
jority rule," that ho rofused to let
tho 0,500,000 democrats real ones
write tho platform. It Is this that
causes domooraoy to take Grovor's
vocabulary exorcises wuli a gialn of
salt.
Frankfort (Ind.) Standard: Repub
lican papers nnd speakers all over the
country cudgoled tholr brains and ran
sackod tho dictionary for superlatives
in praise of Abraham Lincoln to cele
brate that great patriot's birthday last
Friday. And not one single thing in
all ho said and did could they find to

era putting in a protest; now when
tho Russian boar wants to gobble up
the big pieces of pie down in Asia,
all Europe and tho United States are
holding up their hands in holy horror
at the thieving disposition manifested
by Russia.
Frankfort (Ind.) Standard: Money,
trusts, imperialism! We neod not stop

least, for wo must decide whether gold
shall rule and men servo or whether
men shall rule and the dollar serve.
If tho people care nothing for prin
ciple, and adopt the political walking
boss' cry of "anything to win," we
will bo as bad off for a time, as our
country was prior to 1861, when the
cry was anything to secure the money
and influence of tho slave power, for
campaign purposes, when the word
was passed nrounu: "wo pariy can
win without it."
East Liverpool (O.) Crisis: Grover
Cleveland is willing enough to point
tho way for tho democrats to victory.
Which is easy enough at so much per
column.
Central Citv (Neb.) Democrat: It
is now claimed by tho Russians that
the two warships which wore reported
to have accidently struck mines set
for tho Japa wore really destroyed by
nihilists who had been pressed into
porvice. It soems that they use the
nihilists over there much as the re
publicans in this country use "mani
fest destiny," something behind which
they can conceal their own stupidity
or avarice.
Montevideo (Minn.) Leader: If the
Wall street gold-clad democracy in
sists on it, wo presume it can flock by
itself again, and renominate Cleve
land, or Palmer and Buckner, or any
body else, dead or alive, but tnat won't
hPlp them much. That faction has
made more money out of its support
of the republican party than it can
hope to make in any other way, and
that party needs its help now more
than ever and will pay generously for
it, no doubt.
Plankington (S. D.) Leader: The
Cleveland wing of tho democratic par
ty is a small one. It is composed of
men who sulk in their tents when a
candidate is nominated of whom they
do not approve, as well as some who
openly vote for the enemy. They are
not tno men who are willing to do and
to daro for the party, and while tue
democrats will welcome them back to
the party if they come prcpaied to
fight for the principles of democracy,
they are very much mistaken if they
bollove that tho party will again be
surrendered into their keeping until
they have shown that they are once
more democrats.
Plankington (S. D.) Leader: But
wo deny that these bolters should now
ask tho democratic party to truckle at
their feet and give them the best posi
tions at its command. No man who
refused to vote for the democratic
nominees in 189G and 11)00 should be
nominated for the presidency Nor
Hwjiua uny man be sent as a delegate
to tho national democratic convention
who has not been loyai to his partv
nominees. Traitors to tho party
houl bo made to feel the heinous
ness of their offense. Loyal soldiers

about which the Kansas City platform
is silent. Imperialism, trusts, labor,
militarism even tho inter-oceanic
canal question is openly and hon
estly met in that platfoim, which men
like Cleveland have persistently and
bitterly opposed. It would be im
possible to treat these issues from any
other standpoint and label it demo
cratic without caricaturing common
sense. The only reason for challeng
ing the wisdom and integrity of our
last national convention is that its
platform is so unmistakably demo
cratic that the trusts and othpr cor
morants demanding special privileges
are repelled by it.
Montevideo (Minn.) Leader: Gro
ver Cleveland seems to be itching
again to be nominated as the standard-bearer
of a reorganized and re
united democracy. Considering the
kind of support he has given the
democracy whenever ho didn't happen
to be the candidate, his itching will
hardly bring him up to the -scratch.
But he can go fishing again, if ho
wants to, and stay until after elec
tion. The democracy has learned how
to worry along without his help and
can also set along without his advice.
The Public, Chicago: It is encour
aging to learn from the now secretary
of war, Mr. Taft, through a speech he
made before leaving the Philippines,
that the Anieiican-Philippint policy
is to be "The Philippines for tho Fili
pino." Better late than nevr. Yot
thousands of lives might have been
saved to say nothing of American
ideals had this policy been adopted
when the Filipinos had the Philippines
and were governing them better than
shey have ever been governed before
or since. B'lt that might have pre
vented franchise-grabbing bv Ameri
can capitalists, which was the vital
force in our policy of Philippine Subjugation.

The American people are tired nt
ashamed of jingoism. This fact, cou
pled with the pendency of a presiden
tial election, may serve to keep Can
didate Roosevelt from butting into tho

campaign on four issues: The Pa
nama policy, the attitude, towards cor
porations taken in the Northern Se
curities case, the attitude toward labor
shown in the Miller "open shop" case
and the administration's attitude in
the coal strike. Unfortunatoly for tho
administration the issues of a cam
paign are really made by the people.
