THE Democratic platform tackled to-
gether at San Jose yesterday would not
have been Democratically complete with
out denunciation of the ballot-box super
vision BILL 1t was expected that the Con-
vention would ring the changes loudly
upon that measure, and reel off the usual
old-time and trite sentences about CEN
tralization and Federal interference
with State elections Neither the Demo-
cratic party of California, nor of any other
State, has any reason to fear the operation
of the Lodge bill, so long as they honestly,
fairly and openly conduct elections at
which Federal officers are chosen. The
bill enunciates no new doctrine, attempts
the exercise of no new power. Its genesis
and being are in the Constitution, and
have been there from the beginning.
When the bill is assailed the Constitution
of the Republic is assaulted. The fathers
who gave to Congress the power it is pro-
posed to exert, did so fully advised by pre-
science of the need to repose in the Fed
eral authority the power to supervise cleo
tons, at which are chosen the members
constituting the representative branch of
the national Legislature.
'THE neglect of the Administration to
modify the admitted erroneous tariff" is
an expression in the Democratic platform,
and that to which it refers is condemned.
But the hewers of that structure should
have pointed out wherein the neglect of
the Administration is apparent. If there
has not been sincere, conscientious and
wise labor by Congress to harmonic the
tariff schedules with the demands of
industry, commerce and production,
and upon the plane of approved doc
trines of political economy, we do not
know what honest endeavor is. Had the
committee that reported the platform been
as careful in its statement of history as it
was vigorous in its protestations of party
virtue and good intention, it never would
have inserted the plank referred to.

We were sitting cOnvers1ng about

were seen gazing in delighted surprise
at the bird, which was a fine fat
guinea fowl. 1t was not long before
the guinea-fowl was divided, and

to know that he had grown in esteem
