Let us measure Mr. Bryan's accuracy of thought and statement, as well as the quality of his Democracy, by one of his assertions that can be tested by the rec- a ord. “We have lost more elections,” he declared, Le the tariff issue than on any other issue, and yet the reorganizers would have us return to It.”, be The Democracy never lost a Presidential election on the teriff issue before the civil war. The tariff was mot an issue during the war and reconstruction periods, It played some part in the campaign of 1880, when “on that was the time when a Republican statesman an- mounced the great truth that there was “one more President in the bloody shirt.” The Democracy won the @lection in 1884. It lost in 1888, and that was the only Presidential election in the whole history of the coun- try that it ever lost on the direct issue of the tariff. But what sort of defeat was that? Grover Cleveland fore than he had received !n 1884, when he was elected. He carried Connecticut and New Jersey; he lost his ‘Opponent’s own State of Ifdiana by only fd he lost New York, thanks to certain Toca! causes, by 13,002. Wotes in this State would have re-elected him. The Democrats came out of that campaign united, efiant and hopeful. Within a month after Harrison's fnauguration they carried Rhode Island. ‘ber of the same year they carried Iowa, New Jersey, New Work anid Ohio, and reduced the Republican majority in © Mesegchusetts to 6,775, ‘The next year they carried Mass- @chiusetts,’ Rhode Island, Connectiout, New York, New well-known eonéin, Montana, Nebraska and Oregon, and, for their gins, elected Mr. Bryan to Congress. In tho following ‘Presidential election. in 1892, they swept the country by such en overpowering majority that they could have won without the votes of New York, New Jersey or Connecticut, all of which they carried. ‘That was the result of a campaign of education on Biorld Hancock eaid that the tariff was a “local issue,” but) ‘x received a popular plurality of 98,017, which was 35,334, 2,348 votes, | | A change of less than 7,000} « In Novam-]| ‘ Jersey, Pennsylvania, Minos, Indiana, Michigan, Wie-| % O4y © OONOOO4406 65-05.246-004 2608 ry bee ames PEDLOD HOWDY C900 PERERA OROG RR DS * The Most Important Little Man on Earth.

How about a campaign of educa- tion on silver? 1n.1896 Mr. Bryan lost every Northern ‘Btald, éddt of the Missour! River, and Maryland, Dela- frare,2West Virginia and Kentucky in addition. He event {dst ‘Manhattan Island—something that no Demo- erate Pre dential candidate had ever succeeded in doing, t since the birch of the Republican party. ‘TheADAinoerats were beaten again, by a series of ma- Jorities ‘unprecedented in our history, in the State elec- 081807, 1898 and 1899. In 1900 Mr. Bryan was Wurledunder a popular plurality of 849,790, which yas i 245,986\.more than the adverse plurality of 1896, and he Fs ichferéd the distinction of belag the only candidate ; ot ‘Breat party in American history, with a single __* exceition, who received fewer, votes the second time he fan thaa the first. , | Btnoe then the tide has continued to run against the Demooracy, except where the malign influence of Bryanism has been shaken off. Mr. Bryan has now lost his’ own State, his own Congressional district, his own F —scointy{ “hid own city, and, we believe, his own ward. Be He, weft the Democracy withoyt a single Senator ie FeNorthern State outside the Rocky Mountain mjitiig-camps, and the party is now in a minority even thety, "The majorities against his policy, not only in the East,"bilt in the great States of the Middle West, have een greater than anything ever known, even in the i darkest-days of the civil war. That is the result of a campaign of education on the silver question. Such a campaign on the tariff ques- tion converted the people in a single year, because in thati.£49e) the Democracy was right. But when you are ‘wrong, the longer your campaign of education lasta the fewer votes you get. Liars HOMICIDE ON THE ELEVATED.

SEE,” said the Cigar Store Man, “that Comp troller Grout is making a roar about the ex- pensive way they have of conducting the pub- lic schools.” “The Comptroller wouldn't kick about the amount of money that is spent,” explained the Man Higher | Up, “but he is convinced that the city is buying numer- | ous bricks that shine and would not stand the acid test from the Board of Education. He is of the opinion \that the teachers of the young idea in the shooting line |are tco partial to curves. N “Of course, the Comptroller is passe in the “educa- tion business. It has been a long time since he carried Father Time has been making ;changes sinc@ those days, and the Comptroller don't \stand alone when he estimates that a lot of educational change is bogus. : —_ »| “When the Comptroller and the rest of us near bald guys hated our dear teacher we had our learning dished up to us in straight courses. First we learned to read and spell, and then we were spread on what we had been taught. We got a general idea of geography, a fair knowledge of history, and those old-time teaoh- » |ers were foolish enough to stand pat on the proposition. that we must know something of grammar. They us up with erithmetic and made us stay in the school-rcom while the rest of the fellows were playing ball on the nearest vacant lot if we fell down on any ef the problems in the back of the book, the answers to which were locked up in the: teacher's desk. “Nowadays they teach children to read by scuand, and don’t care whether they learn how to spell or not. Why should a boy know how to spell when he knows is? Why should he know how to write when the love cf animals is instilled into his heart? They don’t consider it necessary any more for @ boy to know how many Presidents of the United States there have been, but they score up a point against him if he can’t tell the difference in the ages of two different pieces of rock. A boy quitting school to-day after he has finished the grammar course has got a bum equipment for success unlesss he is a genius. “very teacher has a fad. The chief screws in the school machinery are chosen for their jobs because they have worked their fads by personal press-agent . work. It {s certainly a cinch for a man to write a school book, publish {t, sell {t to himself and then collect from the city, but it is tough on the parents of the children who are stung for the taxes.” “The New York schools always take prizes at the World's Fairs,” said the Cigar Store Man. “Skiddoo! old man; skiddoo!” answered the Man Higher Up. “Will you ever get hep to the fact that every kgetd exhibited at every World's Fair gets a prize?” When Love’s Alarm Clock Rings. - By ‘Nixola Greeley-Smith. In the fairy story when the Prince kissed the Sleeping Beauty she woke up and in the enchant- ed palace—we have ‘Tennyson's author- ity for it—the charm was snapped, there rose a noise of striking clocks that roused even the Lord Chancellor, Then the Prince gave the newly quickened beauty his arms and— “Across the hills and far away, ) Beyond their utmost purple rim, And deep into the dying day ‘The happy Princess followed him.” The idea that {t was the iiss that woke the Sleeping Beauty is universally accepted. It does not seem to have occurred to any one that perhaps it was one of the clocks, though kiss and the clocks striking seem to have happened simultaneously. Yet {t {s far more lkely that by a cunningly contrived alarm given her by her fairy godmother, the Princess learned just when the right Prince came along and when to open her eyes. 5 It would be well ff in this all modern heroines of fairy stories or love stories—and are they not really the same thing?—should learn to emulate her. For unless the Princean wakens just at the right moment she may find that it js not every prince who having Kissed her waits to offer her bis arm across the hills, and in her grief and loneliness may ' turn to the fat Lord Chancelior or any other convenient “shelter that happens to be near for consolation. To be sure, the most up-to-date princesses set their alarma, not for the young prince whose kingdom {s apt to be only such stuff ds dreams are made of, but for this very same Chancellor, who {s old and ugly and who gave up the young man's pursuit of ideals long ago for the old man's pursuit of sensations. but who {s rich and can therefore keep his wife in the style to which she has heen accustomed! But for the more sentimental princesses, the helresses apparent of the realm of love and youth, of happy laughter and more happy sighs, who are really waiting for the Princa to come to them, it is important that their eyes be opened at the right time, For if they open them too soon at the mere touch of lips whose mission is to waken, not to walt, they will be sorry when the real Prince comes along an& will miss the exquisite first sensation of having him summon + them to love and life. ‘ Or, if, on the contrary, they are so slow about waking up —though this rarely happens—that the Prince tires of waiting And passes on, they will have the unpleasant task before them of calling him back and of discovering perhaps that he in already out of hearing, Of course even Cupid's alarm clocks are occasionally the Princess would a great dea} rather turn over and take another nap. But even though she feels that she does not want to go over the hills and far"hway or anywhere elas ad early in the morning, she will be amply repald at the jour ney’s end Why the Sky Is Blue.
