Henry James has been comparing Chicago and Philadelphia and as soon ns his remarks are translated Into ChlcagO'M there Is going to lx? trou- big., Hard work and nothing else will bring promotion, and the one who looks at his position with the busi ness house from any other view is surely doomed to disappointment. Our good old Uncle Samuel’s fi nancial condition is improving almost every month. During March the to- total receipts were $45,709,669, leav ing a surplus of $1,861,500. The IxmisvlUe tailors whoso shops were robbed lately, complain of un just discrimination. “Why," they ask "don't the burglars tackle a millinery emporium once In a while?" for seven years, to show him that New Yorkers will stand for no trifle ing. The government will no longer pay express charges on money sent to banks. The sum amounts to a large figure. For Distance the cost of trans porting $1,000 from Chicago to Mon tana Is $26. Dr. WHoy, the scientist, is credit ed with saying that most of the whis ky sold over the bar is merely prune Juice. That helps explain what U meant by the saying that " a man Is full of prunes." The agricultural department says that 3,000,000 cords of wood were used last year In paper making. And the committee on the government priming office thinks it knows where the most of it wont. A dispatch from St. Petersburg nays the Csar was a dismal failure in the rinient skating carnival. That Rooms strange, in view of the stunts the csar has been doiug on thin Ice for several years. Cement on the choice of Gov. Jeff Davis* of Arkansas, to the United States senate, seems t\> waver be tween two opinions—whether he will succeed In "rough-housing" that body or it will succeed In bridling and tam ing him. A Rochester, New York, husband sues for divorce from his wife for the alleged reason that she tried tv> kill him by putting hatr In his griddle cake. Any experienced boarder will doubt the possibility of killing a man by that method. The Democracy nas always stood for the freedom of the Indi vidual and home rule and opposed to the paternalistic and Hamiltonian theory that the Federal government must be all powerful. The constitu tional provision that all rights no: granted by the states to the general government are reserved to the states and the people, is the funda mental doctrine of the Democratic party. Jefferson, the apostle of the Democrats, declared this and no true Democrat has ever galnsayed it. Mr. Bryan, who has been accused by the Republicans of Socialism shows by his conservative views in his article entitled “Individualism vs. Socialism,'’ in the Century Magazine for April, his own and the Democrat ic position. In that article he says: Much of the strength developed by socialism Is due to the fact that So cialists advocate certain reforms which individualists also advocate. Municipal ownership of monopolies, or instance, is advocated by Indl- Iduallsts, because It is practically impossible to have more than one ater system In a city, and by the latter on the general ground that the government should own all the means of production and distrlbu tlou. Mr. Bryan remarks that 'this sentiment for municipal lighting plants Is not yet so strong, and the sentiment lu favor of public tele phones and street car lines Is still less pronounced; but the 3ame gener al principles apply to them, and in dividualists, without accepting the creed of socialism, can advocate the oxlenslon of municipal ownership to them." He further shows plainly the evils to the Individual tjltlzen of Socialism wnen he says: "If the government operates all the factor ies, all the farms, and all the stores, there must be superlntehdents as well as workmen; there must be dif ferent kinds of employment, some more pleasant, some less pleasant," and he asks: "Is it likely that any set of men can distribute the work or fix the compensation to the sat isfaction of all, or even to the satis faction of a majority of the people?’’ How great, therefore, Is the gulf between the Democracy and the So- lallsts, who believe In concentrating all power In the central government, wheras the Democrats stand for the utmost freedom of the Individual citizen without Infringement upon the rights of others. The trend of Republicanism is to rush to Congress for a cure for po litical evils; to overlook, and even aid, executive usurpation over the representatives of the people; to favor trusts and corporations who In return have furinshed money to cor ruptly keep their friends In power. The Democratic doctrine Is exactly opposite and Is expressed by "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." Without the Democratic party, which alone offers all classes equal rights, there would be a cer tain hurrying of the unthinking to the extreme of appropriating all the means of production and distribution by the national government, so that ultimately there would be no Incen tive for Individual effort.

The protectionists tell us t! must be willing to pay this duty to protect our manufi from foreign competition and ttTpro- tect American labor in being, paid higher wages than the foreign labor ers get. The Democrats claim that to reduce the tariff to a reasonable rate would stilt give the American labor er all che protection he needs, while at the same time producing enough revenue from customs duties to run the government. Under such a vleino- ation and discuss It among them selves. It is by agltatling that near ly all great movements have been pushed to a successful termination If We will keep this matter on our minds and hearts for a while, we will be more apt to see the great need of such an Institution In this city. Having built our new schools, churches and our court house, we should turn our attention toward a city hospital, which Is one of the most needed institutions that any city can have. Valdosta is already behind in this matter—it is time for us to wake up^ and move forward In this line of work. COUNTRY HAS HYSTERIA.
