Now that the Democrats are coming out of their woodsheds and cellars and viewing the. stricken field with a where-are-we-at? exp tenance it may be well to remind them important men at home, are aot ¢ fon of coun: aker, thoug: ey have had inuing na ssues, their day, and many a swift punch they got, ¢ bur running for President. Tt is high time now to return to first principles; to pick up the seat- tered threads of discourse and argument; to find the text that was under neither of them consideration when the riot call came in, and to get the range once more @ all the easy marks. After a mix-up In which everybody takes a hand tt fo always difficult to resume an intellectual task exactly where it was dropped, and so while the people who so recently had each other by the @aroat or by the heels are recovering their breath, let us go back a little ways and see if we cannot get started again on the course of correct prin- etples and dignified discussion. At the moment when Hearst hit Foraker and Haskell over the head and the President jumped into the bear garden inviting everybody to come om and smell of his fist, the Democrats were saying (1) the plutocratic tariff must be revised; (2) favoritism and privilege must cease; (3) {mper!- @lism and colonialism must be abandoned; (4) jingoism must end; (5) ex- (mavagance must be checked; (6) there must be no government by judicia: usurpation; (7) there must be no government by denunciation; (8) there must be publicity of campaign contributions and expenditures; (9) there Must be peace, justice, economy and Prosperity, and (10) monopolies, trusts, combines and every other expression of Republican plutocracy must be proceeded against, not by voclferation but in accordance with law. These are the questions which were under discussion when the rough house was started, when the Indians arrived, when the hazers broke in, when the men from away up the creek came to town. Can we proceed mow with reasonable decorum, or 1s somebody else at the door looking for trouble? oH PIANOS ON THE RAIL.
