It ts easter to get a Democrat to the polls than {t {a to convert a Republican.— ‘William J. Bryan, at Peorta. True, every word of ft, and the way to get a Democrat to the polls !s 0 illuminate every foot of the road with Democratic principles, Mr. Bryan has several of these in his platform this year, and he is at his best when he is expounding them. To get a Democrat to the polis Mr. Bryan has only to advocate economy, peace, justice and fair taxation and to condemn plutocracy, privilege, {mp+- rialism and jingoism. The fact that the first of these are opposed and the letter favored by Republicans will not make his attitude any leas agreeable to Democrats. As Mr. Bryan is at his best when he advances Democratic , ddeas, so all Democrats are most militant when they are summoned wisely to resist Republican ideas which are hateful to them. Rot going in the same direction and they cannot be made to do 60, If the Democratic party had adhered to this truth during the last twelve years {t would be a more impressive political force than It 1s to-day. Most of the time s'nce 1896 it has made few efforts to get Democrats to the ' polis, because it has been engaged almost exclusively in an attempt to @ecure the support of various radical and disappointed factions of the Republican party. Obviously nothing is to be gained in the aggregate !f by ylelding to the issues of the Populists or the Socialists a million of votes secured in that quarter are at once offset by the loss of a million Democratic votes. 1n most cases the loss has been greater than the gain. Taking into consideration the sacrifice of principle involved in such adventures the unfavorable balance | must be regarded as much greater. There never was any good or practical reason why Democrats should | have sought Republican votes at the expense of their own honest convic tions, Their appeal must be made first of all to Democrats, There are enough Republicans of independence and of Democratic sympathies to make a true and a united Democracy exceedingly formidable in most of the States where they co-operate with each other, Mr. Bryan can promote that alliance and strengthen {t materially by adhering to genuine Demo- ¢ratic doctrine and letting the fantastic fads of anti-Democrats alone, —eEEE WHAT TWO WOMEN DID. Two estimable New York women have set a new fashion by returning | to an old one, Instead of going to the Government for something they have taken something to the Government. Instead of recelving they have given, What changes would be ushered In {f everybody, particularly the men, could be persuaded to follow thelr example! Our theories have been excellent in that they have been based on the {dea that the people were to support the Government. Our practice has been wretched indeed, for too many Americans have assumed that it was the duty of Government to support them. Mrs, Sage and Mias Warner patriotically present to the Government for the use of the West Polnt Mil. jtary Academy a tract of land worth a great deal of money, though it com- prises leas than 300 acres. What a contrast 1s thus made with the activi- ties of schemers and lobbyists who on one pretext or another took from the Government millions of acres belonging to the public domain. Under our system the fundamental difference between good government and bad government is likely to be found in these two views of public and private duty. To the extent that we till have liberty and justice the old {dea has survived. To the extent that we have favoritism and downright injustice the later fashion is reaponaible, No more subtle plan for the promotion of privilege and oppression ever was devised by despotism than that which under cover of various specious pleas invites the people to lean upon government and to look to {t for proa- perity and progress) The many always are disappointed. The few reap all of the advantages. Our paternalists have been shrewd judges of human nature, They have known that most men crave sympathy and approval; that most men have some faith in magic; that most men are not quite sure that government ja like any other business enterprise, and that most men are easily persuaded that the power which makes some laws may set up or set aside all lawa, natural as well as statutory, at will. On this delusion rests most of the trickery, plunder and wrong which the American people have suffered. The gift of the New York women {s wholly unseliish; |t ia actuated only by national pride and public spirit, and it is In every way worthy of the best traditions of the Republic. If it shall serve for even a short time to come as a rebuke to the grabbers and schemers, big and little, it will have a value far in excess of any money co: upon it tation than can be placed Letters from the People. constitute Re- Slippery rails by Iteelf, ot injure the tent a8 A and Bb agine.

She was de | scribing her engagement and marriage to a man who was even then about | to kill himself for love of her. This man was Jean Roland, a refugee from | the alleged “justice” of France's Reign of ‘error. Manon Philipon came of an old, impoverished French family, As @ girl she had shown promise of the Mterary and political genius by which she was one day to bend a nation to her wiil and to help change the history of the world. She was so beautiful and accomplished that, voor as she | Was, she did not lack suitors, Yet she rejected every offer of marriage. ; In 1774, when she was twenty, she chanced to meet Roland, a grave, scholarly man of forty-flve. From the first he was attracted to her. She cared Uttle for him; but a friendship sprang up, based on mucual interests. For nearly five years this platonic friendship endured, Then, to the g!rl'a furprise, Roland, on the eve of his departure upon a journey to Italy, | Kissed her, This opened her eyes to his real feelings and led her, littie by iSaawnw Olittle, to learn to love him.

This refusal probably served ~~~ lO BWeeP away Manon’s last doubts as to her love for | Roland. For, unable to marry him, she went into retirement at a convent. There she stayed for months. Roland at last found her and succeeded in | wringing fnom her father a reluctant consent to the match, The wedding took place Feb, 4, 1779. | For the first few years after their marriage Mme.

This pair of middle-aged lovers did more than any one else to bring about the French Revolution. The people eagerly read and believed their pamphlets Mme. Roland's beauty and wit made her the most popular | as well as the most influential woman In Fnance. The seeds of revolt sowed | by her were destined within a very few years to blossom forth Into that | terrible, {f needful, growth, the French Revolution. | The Rolands wanted France to be free. They wanted King Louls XVZ | dethroned. They demanded an Independent, self governing nation, They clamored for a revolution, They got all they asked. Byt, as in the story , of “Frankenstein,” the monster they created destroyed them, It was @ | pretty, bloodless, philosophical, “kid glove’ revolution that they bad | planned; and a pure republic like those of ancient Greece and Rome, guided by gentle, high-souled men. When the French Revolution at last burst forth the Rolands were overjoyed. But their Joy quickly turned to horror, In- Stead of the {deal, calm, logical change of government that they had both looked forward to, murder, graft, wholesale barbarities manked every step of the uprising. France swam to freedom {n the blood of ‘ts butchered children, The King was not only dethroned but beheaded as well, The Rolands protested ag the atrocities that daily filled the land, But France had for the moment gone insane. Because the Rolands begged for moderation they and thelr followers Were charged with treason against the new, bloodatained :epublic, Roland fled In time to avold capture, But Mme. Roland was arresied and thrown {nto prison. Their adherents were scattered or slain. In ber cell, in the fall of 1793, Mme. Roland wrote her famous “Memoirs.” In the earller pages of this book she says: er can history paint these dreadful times, nor the monsters that fill them with their barbaritles, * © © Oh, O arn Omy friends!
