When Wilmington goes to the river
front and takes advantage of the deep
water, she will enter on course of com.
mercial greatness little dreamed Of by
her citizens. Wilmington is now a
manufacturing city. She has the intel
ligence, the accumulated capital, the
location, and within easy reach the
facilities for extensive commerce.
When she adds extensive commercial
activity to industrial activity, her i'm.
portance will be doubled, and she will
become SERIOUS rival to Philadelphia,
over which she has the advantage of
closeness to the sea. Just as Norfolk, a
smaller city than Wilmington, is lifting
herself to rivalry with Baltimore, so
Wilmington, when she goes to the river
front, cla MAKE things interesting for
The commerce Of Philadelphia.

Republican politicians explain tho
good times which have come to the
country by saying that they are due to
tho promise Of the return Of the Repub-
lean party to power after a while.
This is characteristic view for these
dear fellows naturally believe much in
promises and little in performance.
They fancy that prosperity lives on the
light diet Of an airy promise" just as
they thought that disaster came from a
threat Of Democratic rule. Hard
headed folks know that facts not fam
cies, performance not promise, control
business conditions. The good times
have been made possible by what the
Democrats have done, not by what the
Republicans promise to do when they

Pennsylvania politicians are In flut-
ter over the war between the Republi-
can bosses. The political cocks are
strutting around, looking at the two
coops, and with mental perturbation
trying to select the one in which they
will roost. Every one wants to get in
the coop where he can pick up the most
crumbs. The situation is such that 1t is
hard for well-meaning rooster to fore
tell in which coop the crumbs will be.
1t is II great fight to be sure; but it is
fight on the lowest plane OF politics.
There is no note OF lofty citizenship In
ii at all. Neither side is standing or
fighting for any clear cut principle Of
government The platform Of both
factions is the samei to wit, Resolved
that we are the people who ought to be
bosses.
Somehow il seems that politics in
Pennsylvania moves along lower lines
than in any other great State. This is
strange in view Of the intelligence and
patriotism Of the great mass Of the
citizens of the Keystone State.
AS one result of the deplorable condi.
ton of Pennsylvania politics, the hun.
dreds of men of frst.class ability in the
State are not in public life. Men of the
| first order are attracted to the public
service where promotion comes from
demonstrated devotion to the public
welfare. They never reach tue surface
when promotion must be won by bend.

| Boss.
Boss Hastings, however, would be an
improvementon Boss Quay, and tits to be
hoped that he will get majority of the
political ROSTERS In his coop. The sig.
niicance of the present ilutter is aptly
presented in the following extract from
an editorial in the Philadelphia Ledger,
a paper which stands for what the Re.
publican party in Pennsylvania ought
to be and is not.
At present it is not manifest which side

do the voting, are TO profit by the victory
of either faction, as the contention docs
not yet appear TO be one waged in defence
Of any principle of good government or Of
! public policy, 1t seems TO he simply q
contest Tor control of the party organiza.
ton; and whether Quay shall be leader, or
Hastings lead appears to be OF no general
consequence though, as a struggle between
leaders Of great prominence and shrewd-
ncss, it is full OF human interest. It is
one Of the anomalies of the situation that
neither side has declared that its purpose
is that of improving the methods or the
personnel of the government; of correcting
political abuses, executive or legislative,
or of establishing II purer administrative
system. The contention is evidently con
fined at present TO the two groups of
leaders. The public, however, will watch
its progress closely, for as it goes forward
their interests may be designedly or in-
Voluntarily served By those who, Ii strug-
Cling for supreme leadership, are at pres
ent considering merely factional interests.
Il may happen that when political leaders
fall out the public may come by their own.

The Democrats of Kentucky adopted
their platform by vote of 643 to 234
II was not the platform which the free
silver men, with Senator Blackburn at
their head, desired. 1t speaks plainly on
the tariff question, on which Kentucky
Democrats have always been sound.
They have from tho beginning been in
the van for tariff reform. 1t speaks on
tho silver question by reafTlrming the
principles and policies of the National
Democratic platform Of '92, and ex.
pressing undimlnished confidence in the
patriotism and Democracy of Cleveland
and Carlisle. The national platform of
1913 declared for bimettalism, with an
international twist demanding that
every dollar of every kind be- equal to
every other dollar in debt paying and
purchasing capacity, this to be accom-.
plished through international agree
ment or statutory safeguard. AS Presi-
dent Cleveland aud Secretary Carlisle
represent very definite policy in re.

Democrats must be understood to re-
affirm the platform of '92 as in
terpreted By the course OF the
present national administration. The
outcome of the great Kentu cky con-
test over the money question is graft
flying TO sound money men everywhere
| and full of hope for the success of the
Democracy in 1896, It shows that there
has been most decided check TO the
free silver movement within tho party.
The Kentucky Democrats have also
shown that they know how to set mem
bers of the party straight ON the silver
question without dealing hnrsh!y or
reading them out Of the party Having
made a satisfactory declaration OF the
party faith, tho convention turned
around and nominated for Governor
General Parker Wat. Hardin, who has
| been identified with the free silver
movement 1t is in effect declaration
that the Democratic party does not be.
lieye in the free silver horesy and will
not leglslatu in favor Of it, but that it
does not propose to kick out Of the

ceived by the free silver propaganda

Parvis was not clerk Of the Senate. He
was clerk OF the Senate enrolling com.
mittee, Of course it is possible that Mr..

know whether he was referring to Mr..

LAWYERS.

H. H. Brown, in the Ottawa Journal, says:
"It is constantly growing conviction that the
most dangerous class in the nation are lawyers"
Doubtless, Mr.. Brown has reference only to
a certain kind of lawyers-the kind that go into
courts to defeat the ends Of justice; that manip-
uate conventions SO as to secure the nomination
of bad men; that become the attorneys of cor
porations and sell their brains for stolen money,
they aiding in the steal; that secure seats in
congress legislatures for no other purpose
than to defeat good measures or secure the ell
actment of bad laws; that sit as judges of law,
but override law and menace liberty in sweeping
inunctons and biased decisions, and who wink
at crime and law-breaking if thereby they can
secure a fee or obtain an office. These are the
kind of lawyers that are danger ous and if that
growing conviction" continues to grow, there
will be reckoning.

ing the Illinois legislature for electing him the
third time to the senate, when he said The
people-the Republican party-will initiate and
control the policy of this country. We will
again renew our sincere belief in the Monroe
doctrine and again ordain that America is for
Americans" If this is to be the policy of the
Republican party, we would like to know why
the party adopted strictly nti-American policy
in asking for an international monetary con-
ference The American policy, and one that
will be followed so long as either old party
is in power is in vogue now. Collum was
only talking to catch the rabble.
