CHICAGO, Sept with all the fuss
and feathers that were painfully in evil
dence during the last two years, both
political parties begin the campaign OF
1892 in Chicago practically without
organization. The situation is better
explained by the statement of Ex-Sena-
tor Bloom of Auburn Park. He says
"the republicans have held the city hall
and dispensed the city patronage for
year and a half, and yet that party is
not only without organization but is
practically split in twain by factions
contending for supremacy within the
party. In the democratic camp the
Harmon and anti-Harrimon factions
have been sleeping on their arms, but
ready to fly at each others throats at
the first note of war. Nothing, how
battle with the common enemy the
republicans. At the opening of the
campaign there was not democratic
organization in Cook county for the
purpose of aiding the party at the gem
eral election. The fact is that politics,
such as we have had for the last year
and half in this city, has not been
partisan politics, but mere factional
contentious. The city-hall patronage
has been used not to strengthen the
grand old party, but to strengthen the
| Gilbert Hertz Washburne machine a.
gainst the other factions of the party,
The patronage has been. dispensed with
a view to controlling the primary cleo.
tions, and not for the purpose of carry
ing general elections. Democratic
plans, such as they are, have been laid
preparatory to a resumption of the
wearisome Harmon quarrel. Now
that the time has come for active wori
with view of carrying the genera
election in November, nothing is ready

Sir Charles Cox.

Independent. There passed away, by
the death in London few days ago of
Sir Charles Fox, a character whom
Thackery would have delighted to por-
tray Sir Charles was man whose un-
usual stature and excessive thlnness
would have made him noticeable in any
circumstances, and these physical ec-
centricities were accentuated by his sin
gular attire. He wore invariably a
dress coat of antique cut, gray trousers,
open buff waistcoat, high Gladstonian
collar and an immense neckcloth. His
hat was of a style of several generations
ago. Sir Charles was a constant peram-
bulator of the streets, and noted at
tendant at weddings.

sr. Louis, Sept eans has
bined aggregation of the human-brute
character of the world this week, and
her mayor has distinguished himself by
opening the arena with a formal speech
by announcing at the Olympic club last
night that contest for the lightweight
championship of the world was about
to take place. He received a rousing
cheer. AS the ex-mayor finished his
brief speech Professor John Duffy, the
official referee, crawled through the
padded ropes. The pugilists Nc
Auliffe and Myer soon appeared, wear
ing only trunks, shoes and stockings.
! They shook hands at 9 :15 and returned
to their corners. At 9:25 time was
called. Fifteen rounds were fought,
when Myer went down for the last time.
He tried to get up, but his strength was
gone. and he fell on the lower rope and
| then on the floor. The crowd gave a
great yell as the referee gave the de-
| cision, and Mac stood ready to shake
Myers hand. Myers seconds had to
| lift him to his feet and take him to his
corner. Mac ran over to him and
grasped the defeated mans hand. Then
the happy victor shook hands with
everybody. After the battle, Dick Roche
challenged any man in the world to
fight Mack at 13S pounds, to weigh at
the ring side, for 81 900 side, and the
best purse any club can hang up.
In regard to the coming fight, between
Corbett and Sullivan tonight, the Cor
bett men claim that in previous fights
Sullivan has worn his trunks high up,
and that beneath he had worn bandages
to protect his stomach. Phil Casey says
fighters frequently wear a pine pitch
plaster over the abdomen to stay them
during the contest. Frank Moran, who
has share in the Sullivan stakes, was
questioned as to the Sullivan view of the
Corbett claim that the champion must
dress no higher than the navel in this
fight. 1--WE have nothing to say in the
matter" quoth Moran. Sullivan will

THE DALLEs, Sept. III have taken u
very great interest in the question OF

1t seems to me that the quickest way to
settle both of these most important
questions would be for each state to do
away.with the present system OF con-
tracing convict labor and put the con-
victs to work on the public highway.
Then would come an era of good road

cratic president was that old federalist.
Andrew jackson, who drifted away
from some of the principles of the fed
eral organization and became the
founder of the present democratic
party in 1928, when he ran for presi-
dent the second time and was elected.
When he made his first race, along with
Clay, Adams and Crawford, in 1924,
American politics was without form
and void" There were no separate
and distinct parties.
The republican party came into ex-
istence at the same time Is the demo-
cratic, in 1928, and took the name Of
national republican" which it aban-
doned unwisely some years later to as
sumo that of national whig." When
that party dissolved in 1854, the old
name of national republican, which
never should have been given up, was
resumed. The writer of the democrat
ic platform was probably some ill-in-
formed person who had heard some one
say that the democratic party began
with Madison, and never took the
trouble to question or verify the false
statement Had he looked into the polit-
zeal history of the country it would not
have taken him long to find out the
truth. Jackson, the old national fed
eralist, was the father of modern de-

again recognized in the sentiment that
the tariff should promote the healthy
growth of industries and that no
changes should endanger the labor and
capital involved in protected industries.
Practically the sole issue which the
democratic convention dares make on
the tariff is to condemn the Mckinley
bill as an 'atrocity" and pledge the
party to its repeal-a pledge which an
overwhelmingly democratic congress
has already ANONYMOUSLY broken.
The silver plank is mixture that
will make Cleveland groan In one
breath the platform promises free coin
age of silver and then qualities with
provisions which make free coinage i'm
possible. There shall be free coinage,
but the silver dollar SO coined must be
equal in ''iutrinsic and exchangeable
value" to gold dollar, and there must
be international agreements and ''safe-
guards which prima facie preclude
free coinage. 1t is repetition of the
old story commencing: Mother, may l
GO out to swim"
The party pledges itself to continue
the policy of the Cleveland administra-
tion in regard to public lands-a policy
which every settler who had dealings
with the late land commissioner re-
mem bers with deep and bitter expert
ence.
AS to the handling of trusts, the dem
ocratic party has at length discovered
that the tariff is not the parent, and
that free trade is not the remedy, but
that the worst evils of trusts can be
abated by lava principle which the
two parties hitherto have always con-
tested. The democratic platform there
fore demands the rigid enforcement"
of antitrust legislation, the product OF
republican enactment.
Reciprocity-except. Of course, with
South America, the West Indies, Ger
MANY. France and such other nations
as the republican party has secured rec
iprocity treaties from-is indorsed as
the sstime-honored doctrine of demo-
cratic faith" But reciprocity with the
fifty million consumers of Latin Ameri-
ca is SHAM because said people ex-
port agricultural products. The ag-
ricultural products of Latin America of
which the farmers of the United States
snould teware are such as these-sugar,

The prominent fact which stands out
in the national democratic platform
adopted at Chicago is the extent to
which the republican platform is in
dorsed and an issue avoided. :.
The Chicago document indorses the
Minneapolis platform on all of these
points: Prohibition of trusts. internal
development of navigation, American
control of Nicaragua canal, protection
of the lives and limbs of railway en-
ployes, opposition to convict labor COM
petition and sweating system, restric-
ton of criminal and pauper immigra-
t.ion, recognition of the Worlds Column
bian exposition, support of national
defenses, support of public schools, in
dorsement of civil servi-e reform, ''just
and liberal pensions, and sympathy to
the Jews in Russia and to the cause of
home rule in Ireland. In all of the
above particulars the democratic con-
vention thought the republican plat
form SO good that the Chicago plat
form practically reproduces the Mime
apolis document, but at greater length
and with greater circumlocution.
Even on the tariff the party appears
to be afraid to make a direct issue of
principle. The principle of protection
is virtually indorsed IN the sentiment,
contained also in the republican plat
form, that the tariff should equalize
the difference in wages here and
abroad. The protective principle is

In the charges made against Capt.
Borup, of our legation at Paris, Minis
ter Coolidge has an important case on
his hands at the very beginning of his
diplomatic career. 1t is believed that
Capt. Borup is innocent of anything
more serious than the purchase from a
French subordinate of military plans.
This would seem serious enough, yet it
is allowable for a diplomat to collect
facts as to the armament and defenses
of the country to which he is sent, and
Borup is noted for zeal in just this di-
rection. He committed the indiscretion
OF being discovered, and that, diplo-
matically speaking, is objectionable.

lines, tropical fruits and nuts, dyes
and chemicals. Against these agricul-
tural products of the tropics the demo
cratic party would set MP the American

On the issue of national control of ma
tional elections and the security of an
honest ballot for every freedman, the
democratic party makes its only open,

prives majority of southern voters of

THERE is some wrangling in the press
reports as to which side fired the first
shot at Homestead, Pa. 1t makes but
little difference, however, as neither the
Pinkertons nor the workmen acted in a
lawful manner. The Pinkertons were
a hired body of men, neither citizens of
Allegheny county or the state of Penn
sylvania, and had not been deputized as
peace officers. They went prepared for
violence, and they found more of it than
they bargained for. 1t was an insult to

The scourge seems to be as deadly as
ever in the east, where it is almost
perennial, but it has lost much of its
terror in the western world, because of
better sanitary conditions and more
thorough understanding of the disease
itself. 1t may be impossible to keep it
