The Decla-ration of Independ
ence, the constitution of the
United States and the laws of
congress have all been set aside
by the present administration in
its trejj^tment of Porto Rico, and
what is to come ne^t is napw agi- ,
voters rmO
cently endorsed the administra
tion at the polls. ^
Our Washington correspond
ent calls attention to the fact
that “a life-size portrait’of Presi
dent Lincoln, which had hung in
the east room of the White House
for years, fell to the floor, face
down, without apparent cause.”
This is undoubtedly the work of
the same hand that did the “writ
ing on the wall” at Balshazzar’s
feast, and those who are prosti
tuting the teachings of our liber
ty-loving ancestors into a divine
right to kill the Filipinos, may
vrell take warning. It is a won
der if all the shades of departed
patriots do not rise to confront
the present administration with
its foreign policy.
“The love of money is the root
of all evil” is one of the funda
mental teachings of holy writ,
and it seems as if the develop
ments of to-day were hourly en
forcing the truthfulness of the
apothegm. Train-wrecking, bur
glary, arson and murder, are
crimes resorted to daily in the
hope of securing that wealth, the
possession of which makes even
the murderer respectable in the
eyes of elite society. The influ
ence which inordinate wealth is
having in the world at present is
sinking the moral nature of hu
manity into a “slough of despond”
from which the efforts of all the
teachers and preachers of Chris
tendom will not be able to raise
it unless the power of the demor
alizing demon be in some way
broken. There might have been
some hope for liumanity had dem
ocratic principles triumphed in
the late election, but the power
of combined wealth triumphed
here as elsewhere, and a debauch
ed ballot is the culminating crime
of the closing century. And
where is it all to end—will hu
manity retrograde to the condi
tion of “hewers of wood and
drawers of water” for the weal-
Those wise statesmen and loy
al democrats who have been vot
ing the republican ticket for the
past four years, are still eagerly
suggesting.the necessity for re
organizing the democratic party.
Hon. John G. Carlisle, who is
certainly a man of brains, ad
mits that if reorganization comes
it must be at the suggestion of
the southern states, where Mr.
Bryan got nearly all of his electo
ral votes. The New York Even
ing Post goes a step further and
declares that if thedemocrtic par
ty is to recede from the the Chi
cago and Kansas City platforms,
W. J. Bryan must lead the move
ment.
This is nearer sanity than any-
we have seen on the sub
ject. The Post declares that Mr-
Bryan and the party leaders who
gaye him their support in 1896
and in 1900 are the only men that
could take the democratic mas
ses with them.
But neither Mr. Bryan nor the
leaders who stand with him have
given forth any utterance that
can be interpreted to mean that
they favor any reorganization
whatsoever. On the contrary,
those of the leaders who have-
spoken unqualifiedly oppose any
such step.
One thing is certain, and that
is that something eles than t^at
it has met with two successive
defeats must be assigned asjthe
reason for reorganization b•c^e
it will coma The seven mixMon
men who vx>ted for Bryan on
Qtib X>f tbis^Paonth mns^
Tif£teed~T!?^t the platform u
which he stood was wrong befo
they could, as honest men, ah
don that platform. That t^ey
were unsuccessful certainly dbes
not show that. The democratic
party was defeated for almost ^a
quarter of a century on the tariff
question, but they finally swept
the oountyy on that very issue,
and that, too, on a platform in
which there was more explicit
expression in favor of “a tariff for
revenue only” than any previous
national pronounciamento they
had made:
It is a faet, as Oliver Wendell
Holmes has said, that truth, when
first announced is always ugly
and repulsive to the masses, if
not to every one. But there nev
er has been a time when truth
was not beautiful to those who
had investigated and learned to
know it while the crowd jeered.
If the democracy has been ad
vocating the truth it will lose its
unattractivenes just in propor
tion as it is investigated. If it
has been trying to teach error it
cannot avoid'failure.
But the hour of defeat is not
the hour of sound judgment. Let
reorganization come, if it must,
but seven million man have the
right to ask time for considera
tion. And if it comes, remem
ber, itmust come from within,
not from without, the democratic
party.—Asheville Citizen.
The strangest ecclesiastical suit on
itcord in this country, perhaps any
country, has come
before the courts
« Cknr«h. .. . „
in a city not far
away, says a Boston exchange. An
Episeopal ehurch is being sued be-
caiiae it is not sujBSciently ^‘high
church.” I It appears that a certain
pers<jn left money to this church with
the lirovifton that the services should
comej up'^to a certain standard of
chur<)hmdiship. While the minister
is doing lip level best to whip up the
convictioiii of his people to the stand
ard of thtjhigh-churoh policy, he has
failed, it | claimed, to get as much
ritualism i to the services and the re
sponses oi lis flock as the money calls
for. It wi be very interesting to find
ovt who i (to blame in such a pecul
iar casei 'he parson has solicitously
“turned” i i all the ritual within his
knowledge and the people declare
they have i^ken all they can digest.
As no caii q of the church tells just
where hi a churchmanship begins
and broad hurchmanship ends, it will
be very e fying if the seciilar court
will thro\ some light upon the vexed
question.
The Inc an girls of the Chickasaw
nation set n to be “up to date.” The
evils iarisi ig from the marriages of
white mei with Indian girls hfive be
come not^ious. Usually the unions
were sought by whites of worthless
character,; merely in order that tliey
might get possession of the valuable
lands allotted to the brides. In view
of this a Inw was enacted bj-^ the In-
^Han legislature establishing the mar-
'riage fee in such cases .at $1,000. As
a remedial measure much was ex
pected of the law. It has just come,
into effect, and at Ardmore, I. T.,
recently some thousand or more In
dian girls, in meeting assembled, in
dignantly “resolved” that the law and
the instigators thereof were intol-
er'^ble interferers with Avoman’s in-
alj^nable right to marry whom she
would. J!:i£i^the end is not yet.

Good Advice.
The most miserable beings in the
world are those suffering from dys
pepsia and liver complaint. More
tlian seventy-five percent of the peo
ple in the United States are afflicted
with these two diseases and their
effects: such as sour stomach, sicK
headache, habitual costiveness, pal
pitation of the heart, heart-burn,
water-brash, gnawing and burning
pains at the pit of the stomach, yel
low skin, coated tongue and dis£^ree-
abl3 taste in the mouth, coming up
of food after eating, low spirits, etc.

Millions Given Away.
It is certainly gratifying to the
pulilic to know of one concern which
is hot flfraid to be generous. - The
proprietors of Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for consumption, coughs and
colds, has jgiven away over ten mil
lion trial bottles and have the satis
faction of knowing it cured thou
sands of hopeless cases. Asthma,
bronchitis, la grippe and all tliroat,
chest and lung diseases are sureiy
cured by it. Call on J. E. Clayton

Americans who have visions of liv
ing cheaply in Paris should banish
them. It is a good rule to count on
its costing as much in the City of
Laughter as in New York or Chicago,
witn this difference, that in Paris
sleeping-rooms heated by steam or
hot air and lighted by electricity or
gas can only be found in higli-priced
hotels and pensions. Bathrooms are
equally scarce, closets are important
enough to be especially mentioned in
the advertisements, a single window
is the rule, and the majority of rooms
face courts on back yards because of
the peculiar construction adopted for j
French apartment houses. Americans
cannot find “all the comforts of home”
without paying roundly for them.
