The republican platform adopted yes
terday is eminently sound on the educa-
tional question. 1t declares devotion to
the common school, recognizes the pri-
vate and parochial schools as valuable
auxiliaries in the work of popular educa-
ton and disclaims any purpose to inter
fere with their terms, government or
branches taught. 1t affirms the right of
the state to enact laws which will insure
all children within its limits sufficient in
struction in the legal language of the
land, but declares that the parent has
the right to select any school at which
and the time during which this instruc-
ton may be given. How any person can
antagonize these utterances without &C.
claring hostility to popular education.

MILWAUKEE, democratic politicians cor

MILWAUKEE democratic politicians con-
tinue to make bargains in their own in
terests and the democratic state conven-
ton is expected to carry them out. In
deed the democratic convention is not
expected to exercise any independence
whatever, and except rs matter of form,
or to give official sanction to the determi-
nation of the Milwaukee bosses, need not
be held at all. John l.. Mitchell and P
j. Somers were in the conflict, both wish
ing to represent the Milwaukee district
In congress. One of the two only could
be successful and matters were so adj
justed that both may get something. It
was decided that George Washington
Peck should be nominated for governor.
This would create prospect of vacancy
in the mayorality into which Somers
could drop and leave clear field for ohm
L. Mitchell. The whole arrangent de-
ponds upon the subservlency of the dem
ocratlc state convention. That is expected
to yield ready obedience to the COM
mands of the Milwaukee bosses. They
always distribute their local offices with
undisguised assurance that the state con-
ventlon can be manipulated so as to aid
in carrying out their bargains. The only
function the party outside of Milwaukee
has, apparently, is to ratify what Mil
waukee has decided upon. The demo-
cratic convention next week is expected
to nominate Peck, not in the interests
OF the party at large or for the further
ance of any democratic principle, but
that local complications might thus be
obviated. 1t opens the way for Somers
to the mayoralty and gives John L.
Mitchell hold upon a congressional
seat which could not be otherwise Sc
cured.
Is it not about time the democratic
convention ceased to be mere annex of
the Milwaukee democracy? If Milwau-
kee has politicians who thirst for local
offices the party of the state should not
be used as a tool whereby their schemes
can be carried out. 1t is not the missi on
of the party to provide places for Mil
waukee Office seekers, and the sooner it
declares this fact openly the better it will
be for its reputation. The nomination
OF Peck, under the circumstances, will be
confession on the part of the democracy
that the convention is simply political
clearing house for Milwaukee politicians.
1t may be good democracy to thus place
the party at the disposal OF these politi-
cal hucksters, but if so democracy is not
a good thing. Is it not about time the
democrats outside OF Milwaukee did a
little thinking for themselves?

THE democratic platform which the
convention next Wednesday is to adopt
declares in favor OF public schools and
compulsory education and then demands
the unconditional repeal of the Bennett
law which provides for compulsory edu-
cation. 1t is declaring for the theory
and opposing the practice. The dele
gates will have nothing to do but to
ratify what the Milwaukee bosses have
agreed upon. And they will do it with
out a whlmper or grimace. The Mil
waukee office seekers and their managers
are the party.

The Pilot is credib ly informed tina
the platform OF the democratic conyen-
ton to be held next week is already pre-
pared. 1t is similar to the one which did
such good service for the office-seekers in
Milwaukee last spring and has the &C
accomplishment of like purpose in view
securing office for a hungry hoard. 1t
is wholly unnecessary to state that the
platform is the work of the Milwaukee
politicians. Can any one tell what need
there is of holding a convention next
week? Milwaukee has already selected
the ticket and agreed upon the platform;
there is nothing left for the convention
to do except, for the sake of form, to
make it appear that what Milwaukee has
done is the act of the representatives of
the entire party. But is it not humiliat-
ing to be thus the servitors of clique
who make politics in its worse sense, a
profession? Is the party of the state
ever to be dominated by the corrupt and
selfish element which has made Milwau-
kee political cesspool? What aid has
Milwaukee ever rendered the party that
it should thus assume to dictate it's
policy and in form so offensive? Is the
party outside the metropolis ever to be
herd of voting cattle, always obedient,
making no remonstrance, manitesting no
resentment or spirit?
1t is high time that the democrats of
the state should realize tnat the utter
snce of a party convention should faith
fully represent the feeling of the party
as whole Oh mooted question. When
platform is prepared in advance by a
coterie OF men anxious to commit the
party to line of policy designed to
further their selfish interests, it should
be rejected. The convention is called to
nominate candidates and make declara-
ton of principles. 1t may with propriety
select some of its members TO prepare
platform. No man or set of men have
the right to assume in advance of the
convention what position it shall take on
public questions. When they do 80 they
become usurpers and should be treated
as such. What will the democratic con-
vention do with the cut and dried ar
rangement to which they are asked to
subscribe?

A Foregone Conclusion.

1t has caused no Hltle surprise here that there
should be some doubt existing outside the State
with regard to the exact date when the present
charter of the louisiana State Lottery Company
expires. This is plainly expressed in the charter
is on file and readily accessible. Even the pre-
sent charter does not terminate until 1885, More
over, an amendment has been ordered by Legis-
lature of the state to be submitted to the people,
by Mhich the charter of the company will be ex-
tended up to the year 1919. Charters are neces-
sarily granted for limited time. and their re-
fFlly provided for, as anyone familiar with the
facts of thd case must know. Great satisfaction
is expressed at the management of Generals
Beaureeard and Early, who superintendent of
of the drawings, have maintained the high STAN
dard to which The Louisiana Lottery Company
has always lived up.-New Orleans U4a.) Times

MANY republicans IN congress think
the Force bill OF more consequence than
the Mckinley tariff bill. 1t is, to the re-
publican party. The policy of the Force
bill is to make the southern states re
publican by the aid OF troops. The pas
sage of the Mckinley bill will make a
majority OF the northern states democra-
tic. The purpose of the ultra republi-
cans is to pass both bills and to postpone
action on the tariff bill until favorable
action is taken on the Force bill.

showering little praise on him by way
OF remuneratiug him for the loss he sus-
tanned at their hands. Somers NAV in

was patriotic one, but just at present
1t must look to him, as it does to Others,
