INTO THE NIGHT
fBY TELEGRAru 10 TIE 1kIBUNEf

Chicago June 22.-Aftcr an evening Of tumult
and disorder not surpassed perhaps in any other
National convention ever held in this country
since the war. the placing in nomination OF candi-
dates has begun, and al the time Of this writing Is
still in progress. Two sessions Of the convention
been marked by extreme disorder, and have demon
strated anew that in thc face of turbulent ela-
mcnts in the galleries the chairman Is powcrIcs'
to enforce order Even better chairman than
Mr. Wilson has shown himself to be- would be I'M
able to control the Democratic mob of 5000 and
more, which seems determined TO run things t.
their li..-g. The usual bick.riug over the adop-
ton of a mrin plank in tho platform took pia g.
That was to he expected. NJ Democratic conycn-
ton would bc happy without such incident. The
plank reported by the Committee on Reso-
lutons was straddc; that which a
minority Of the committee supported, little bet
ter. But Gle latter was in the end adopted, after
bout between Villas and Wattcrson. in which
the latter came Of victorious.
The vote by which the convention Itself turned
down it, committee was overwhelming. BY many
il is looked upon u victory for the Hill fac
tion. Ihis il probably an exaggerated view
Many Of the votes no doubt were cast in total
ignorance Of what they meant. Others were cast
with simple desire 10 commit the party TO a
plank which was not altogether meaningless
This was evidently tie object Of such men as
War,cr-on. Stevenson and Neal Ou IN, other
hand, the votes of Ncw-iork can be- explained on
no other ground than that Tammany wished for
the adoption # a-cl'aucr plank than that offered
by the committee. 10 cmhlrra,s a much p,~

A MEMORABLE ANNIVERSARY.

October I" Unites Four Centuries Of
American Life.
October l2 will have prominent place
in history. 1t not only unites the four
, centuries of American life that are clos
ing with the centuries that are before
us, but it will be made memorable by
great national celebration. The signal
for this demonstration will be the dedi-
cation of the Worlds Columbian expo
sition grounds in Chicago
On that day our foremost American
institution-the public school-will be
the center of local celebrations in the
cities and towns from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
BY linking together all these local
celebrations as parts of systematic
national demonstration the full signif-
canoe of the day will be brought out.
The object for this movement for q
national celebration is not only to inter
est the youth of the country in the
Worlds Columbian exposition, but also
to give to the American public school q
fitting prominence as the fruit of four
centuries of American life.
Both the Worlds congress commission
Of the Columbian exposition and the
American superintendents of education
have requested that the public schools
Of each city and town lead in the local
celebration. These two bodies have also
appointed joint executive committee
to direct the movement and to prepare a
uniform and fitting programme for uni
versal use.
Every wideawake boy and girl in our
land has read or will read the message
issued by the Columbian public school
celebration commission with keen inter
est. 1t speaks vigorous word to every
one Of the several million pupils in our
public schools. How far the spirit of
this message is carried out depends upon
each individual boy and girl. We be.
lieve they will respond to it promptly
and enthusiastically. They are too thor
! oughly imbued with the true spirit Of
American loyalty and patriotism to per-
init such an opportunity to be lost.
They will enter into the spirit Of this i'm
portant event with characteristic Amer
lean energy and determination.
1t is an inspiring thought that on Oct.
10 all the loyal sons and daughters of
our land will be united by one common
purpose of such lofty conception. We
believe that the pupils in our public
schools will prove as enterprising and
intelligently patriotic rs those of any
city or town in America. Don't wait
until the eleventh hour. If our schools
are to attempt to be the center of local
celebration which shall be worthy of the
! day there is none too much time for
preparation. Let the schools begin at
once. Teachers and scholars should
make common cause.
