The following editorial from the Ba ker City Democrat, which Is a fair sample of the style of argument em ployed by speakers and writers of Its party, will help to explain why it Is that where the Democratic orators speak oftenest the subsequent elections show a considerable falling off In the Democratic vote: If you want to see what a REAL hero looks like, study a picture of General Grant, In his careless uniform, humped up on an army nag too full tf thought for posing. If you want to see a KIXETESCOPE hero, look at Colonel Roosevelt, hero of a thousand cameras. . Roosevelt haa traversed throughout the west for five days, and in that time has made Just FORTY-ONE SPEECH ES, eight speeches per day and carry one. - - . - - He is not a SILENT hero "anyhow. What has he said in his forty-on speeches? Practically this: WE can lick anybody. I can lick anybody. I can lick Chinamen and Spaniards and bears and wolves and Democrats. I am glad I am running. "Trlppe, trappe, tropjes. "The Boxers ane on the kopjes." Hurrah for America. Hurrah for ME. Hurrah for blood. Hurrah for fists. I can cinch ponies. I can brand cows. The time for thinking has gone by. This is the time for licking. I lick somebody every day. Hear my teeth snap. Every one is' sound. I could bite oft a coyote's head. I saved' the Nation. I licked Spain. MY cowboys. MY ancestry. MY rough riders. MY-MY-M-ME-ME. And that Is the kind of swashbuck ling, comic opera, egregiously egotisti cal kinetescope poser you are asked to choose for vice-president of the United States and president of the senate. If you vote for him you OUGHT to be ruled by military whipper-snappers who would choulder your wives and daughters off the sidewalks, and you OUGHT to be drafted into a big stand ing army to keep such klnetescope heroes busy bossing you around. THE PAN-SLAVONIC IDEA. Chicago Times-Herald. Augustine Birrell advances a theory j Baldwin's Celery Soda eurss a headache at one. It Is t pleas ant, sparkling, effnrrwKent drink that sctaUninediuUjly. It clearu and par, file tie stomach, gently qniets th nerraa and raltores all pain. It ear sick and lMrTouhOadache,MiAtriasan4 m-n- r. r Successor to Th. Olsen, 00-l Com. St. concerning Russia's destruction of Fin land's liberties which attributes the ar Mtrary and unexpected action of. the exar to the patriotic Pan-Slavonic Idea. He thinks that this explanation Is far more plausible than any which should attempt to define the case as a wanton exorcise of Russian tyranny, and he Illustrates his point of view a's fol lows: "We have our Idea the Anglo-Saxon idea. Russia has hers the Pan-SIa vonic Idea. One Russia, one faith, one law, one tongue, one army. Shall miserable Finland and her paper con stitutlon stand between Russia and her unity? "Are we not to be al lowed," cries the procurator of the holy synod, ''by suspending the prlvtl eges of Finland to unify the Russian army?" Ideas of this kind are likely to prove more tyrannous than dy nasties, and he should In Jet. d be i bold man who was prepared to cats logue the crimes certain to be commit mitted in their name. The author believes apparently from his study of the comparative moral Ity of nations in The Contemporary Review that Russia is no worse than the others. He refers critically to Eng lands treatment of Ireland and the Transvaal, and to Germany" treatment of Sehleswig-Holstein. And by way of contrast he speaks of the very happy conditions which prevailed among the Finns up to a year and a half ago. "The faith of Russia solemnly pledged In 1509 was," he says, "scrupulously observed." Everywhere were evidences of a contented, loyal and Intelligent people, who were giving the best of demonstrations that even despotisms could keep their word. "No English man. at all events, could visit Finland without casting a sorrowful thought upon Ireland and remembering Llm erlck the city of the Broken Treaty." So we must abandon the notion that there Is any exceptional hardness or In Justice In the Russian character. The empire is not leading in imperialism, but la simply following the trend of the time. "Why be Danes become Ger mans! Why be Finns? become Rus sians! Why be Dutch in South Africa? become English! Russia, Germany, England these are great names, they palpitate whh great Ideas, they have vast destinies before them, and millions of armed men In their, pay. all await ing Armageddon. How absurd to be a Finn! What is the Finnish Idea?" We might reply to Mr. Birrell that the Finnish idea Is the idea for which Hampden and Washington stood: that it Is the Idea upon which this republic is founded and through which the lib erties of Englishmen are secured. His analogies are striking but sophistical. Only the purest despotism could have acted toward Finland as Russia has done lately, and In the longer though less novel part of his essay the author proves this. His many quotations from imperial edicts and declarations make a record of successive promises which leaves the Finns' title to their con stitutional rights without a flaw. Still, we do not suppose that they would care so much about Its violation If the "Pan-Slavonic idea" ratant nothing more than that modern Imperialism of which Mr. Birrell says it is a develop ment The trouble is that the expres sion Is a mere euphemism for an all pervasive tyranny that is Inherent In Russian government. Russia brings no liberal institutions v.ith her. The total circulation of national bank notes, at the close of business June 30, WO, was $309,539,719. an Increase for the year of $68,291,023. The circulation, based on United States bonds, was $274,U5,5f.2, an increase for the year of $68,851,458. Exports of provisions from American farms last year w2re worth $180,000, 000, or $47,000,000 more than In ISM. This sort of expansion is what the Demo crats call 'imperialism." No. 2 spring wheat sold In Chicago at S8 cents last month, as against tlVt cents in June, 1896. Why make a change back to the Democratic admin istration and prices? "I do not care to hold ofllce unless it enables me to do something to aid the people 'n their fight against organ ized wealth." W. J. Bryan. Then why drop the Income tax?

A Republican surplus of $31,229,776 In time of war Is better than a Democratic deficit of $146,702,915 in time of peace.
