walled the awful anxiety which must
known future with possibilities of want
and distress. Yet, as we have said and
seen, that Is the benefcent condition
under which the best that Is in man
spur that conquers idieness. That is
the necessary incentive to energy, to
ambition, to application, to obedience,
to fidelity, to nearly all of those quail
tiles by whose development the worth
of the individual is finally measured.
Remove the necessity, cover the indi-
viduars future with an insurance pol
icy, lift from him this weight Of
anxiety about his own wellbeing
and that of those dependent upon him,
and you have transformed not all, but
a great part-it may even be the larger
part-of mankind into an order ap-
preaching, first, the loafer, and, sec
ond, the tramp. Nature holds out to
us no hope that the strong, the noble,
the beautiful, the eternal side Of hui
man nature can be developed by any
such process. Her own methods are
directly opposite.
Leaving aside, therefore, the eco
nomic objections to the general pen
sion idea that is spreading from occu-
patton to occupation, and from country
to country, refusing even to consider
the justice of taxing industry for
the maintenance of some one who is
unable to take care Of himself, because
he was not equally industrious, and
looking only at the sociological side,
we hold that this experiment is so
probably disastrous by it's inherent ma
ture that no thinker or philanthropist
would regard it as less than a terri
BILE menace to the race. Before we
attempt the reversal of any of natures
with exceptional care. In the physi-
cal world the process is always attend
ed with disaster. In the moral world
there is good reason for believing that
men, as we know them today, have
given no proof that, if the common
necessity Of making provision for a
helpless future were lifted from them,
as a majority Of them now do when
an unearned independence comes to
them and enables them to throw aside
the helpful labor Of the day and sink
degeneracy. The great mother, Ma
ture, is cruel only to be kind. 1t is
reasonable to believe that the reversal
of her discipline would be more dead
ly to humanity than a universal pesti-
lence.

Gen. Palmer accepted formally the
nomination Of the National Democratic
party yesterday, in words which con-
trast as favorably with the long-wind-
ed stump speeches of the other candi-
dates as the declaration Of principles
on which he stands does with their
platforms. 1t was q striking and
stirring scene in Louisville, when men
representing the ancient and indie
structible principles of Democracy
gathered to bear witness to the gen
uineness of their faith. 1t was real
evidence of the restoration of the
Union, when two men who had fought
on opposite sides in the great contest
stood side by side to do battle for the
principles of constitutional liberty
There was no pyrotechnic display of
eloquence, for none was needed. That
great charter of rights which was put
forth at Indianapolis needs no advo-
cate. 1t requires no verbose common
tary to hide an insidious attack upon
the people by taxing the products Of
their labor or by debasing the money
in which those products are measured
and their wages paid. 1t dares to tell
the whole truth to the voter, and
congresses into one mighty paragraph
the truths on which national greatness
and national liberty must rest.
One fallacy alone Gen. Palmer was
content to expose. Mr.. Bryan and his
cohorts profess to believe that the
United States alone can raise the value
of an ounce of silver to $1.2s. If so,
the silver dollar will then become worth
as much and be as hard to get as the
gold dollar. There can be, in that
event, no change of prices. Yet in the
same breath they. declare that their
purpose is to raise prices, against whose
fall from natural causes their whole con-
tention is made. Satisfied with this
single puncture. which lets the wind
out Of the fiat balloon, the candidate
Of the National Democrats addresses
himself to the larger issue, appeals to
the undying devotion Of the people Of
this country for all that is right and
true and essential to human freedom
and happiness in the name. Democracy.
The party is now formally in the field,
and 1t Is one that will grow with amaz-
ing rapidity. In it's creed alone do we
find in purity today the principles on
which this government was founded.
BY observing them alone can the per-
petuity of our institutions be assured.
Let Democrats who hold conviction
greater than name and dearer than
the hope of an office fall into line

it, or call for assistance, at their
pleasure. Until they have acted, the
national government does not inter
fere. While granting this, 1t would be
monstrous, it would mean the utter
destruction of ali authority, 1t would
be equivalent to an act of disunion
and the disbanding of the states of
the republic, to assert that the nation
cannot maintain it's power; cannot in
terfere with or punish him who yio-
lates and defies it's law, without the
consent of some mayor or governor,
who has no more right to interfere in
the matter than the president has In
the enforcement of city ordinance.
1t Is the avowal of this new doctrine
that has caused the term "anarchist''
10 De applied by some to it's support
ers The reproach is just in as far as
those who bear it contemplate the ac-
tual destruction Of national govern
ment in these United States AS Mr..
Harmon clearly points out and lcgi-
caily proves, government would be at
an end if 1.-The United States must
neglect it's own interests, because in
protecting them those Of a state may
be incidentally protected" Were the
doctrine of Altgeld and Tillman to be
supreme. the authority of the nation
would be as little regarded as that of
city police force after every ordi-
nance providing for the repression of
theft, murder and other crimes had
been declared null and void 1t would
be an invitation to all the lawless and
disorderly elements in society to OBJ
struct federal authority and to
p1under federal property, knowing
That prevention and punishment could
not follow If any local authority hap
pened to be in sympathy with the per-
petrators Of crime.
This is the dogma of the Chicago
convention, which has deserved and re-
ce1ved the severest condemnation Of
those who believe in the maintenance
or orderly government and the up-
holding of the respective rights of the
nation and the state. No explaining
away, no apology, no dissertation upon
constitutional provisions that are now
perfectly understood, no softness of
rhetoric or violence Of defamation can
pe suffered to obscure the great men
ace to the safety of the people and the
existence of the national government
contained in that plank Of the Chicago
platform, which would tie, for all time
rulers and defenders against the riot
er, the incendiary and the desperate
assailant of human life.

and again the pay of policemen and
employees of the school department and
others, until the courts had passed
upon their claims, or until 1t was as
certained definitely and finally in some
other way that the money must be
paid. While this entailed embarrass-
ment and hardship, sometimes I'M

Now they are asking what has be-
come of their watchdog Not a bark,
not growl, not whimper is heard
from the comptroller's office when ac-
counts are to be audited which are
either Of doubtful validity or are alb
solutely contrary to charter pro-
visions. For instance, If there was a
dispute over the salaries of policemen
or firemen, Mr. McCardy would not
take it upon himself to decide until the
courts had rendered a verdict as to
who was in the right He is perfectly
aware. however, that there is a grave
question whether the commissioner of
public works or the board of public
works will be held to be the real rep
resentatives of the city and entitled to
draw their pay. Nevertheless, Mr..
McCardy has audited the pay roll of
the commissioner in advance of any
action by the court. This is not only
contradictory to his past policy, but it
endangers the public interest. Should
the courts determine that the law
under which this officer was appointed
is unconstitutional and thereby rein
state, the old board of public works,
the money now paid out on the as
sumption that an appropriate decision
will be reached will be lost finally to
the city. This is chance which no
public official should take, and it is
wholly subversive of Mr. McCardy.

1t is, however, even at the worst.
less reprehensible than the auditing OF
the city pay rolls on which are the
names of policemen who were appoint
ed contradictory to the plain direction
of the Bell charter The men named
by Mayor Doran who are above the
age limit fixed as the maximum in the
fundamental law are not policemen
and cannot be made SUCH Nothing
can render legal an Illegal appoint
ment. They are nominally on the
force, but are nothing but the personal
employees of the mayor, and every
penny which they draw from the city
treasury is an expenditure as unwar-
ranted as if any clerk in the office went
in and helped himself at the till. From
these facts it appears that the vigi-
liant guard upon the treasury has been
relaxed, and that we no longer have
a watchdog.

A POINT In EQUITY.

Mrs. Gertrude Anterior, a Califor-
man writer recently settled in London.
has achieved considerable notoriety Of
! late by publishing her views about
Americans and Britons with a lavish
disregard for anything but the pictur-
esque quality in her statements. Mrs.
Atherton writes as one having author
lty, and her latest manifesto deals
with what she styles ''the affinity be-
tween American women and English
men," At the present moment, ac-
cording to her statements. American
women practically own London"-their
| title being held through the grace of
the English men, In whose eyes they
have found favor.
According to this lively Journalist.
the American man is a coarse money!
grubbing animal while the American
woman has flashed past him" in her
development and left him far behind.
On the other side of the water it is
the man who has flashed past the
woman. The Briton is the most DOM
inant. perfectly balanced, rapidly de-
veloping" man on the globe, but the
women Of his own race are not only
undeveloped, but ''reurotic, morbid.
degenerate This is proved, from Mrs.
Atherton's point of view. by the fact
that some Of them write silly novels,
and some others read them. Such be-
ing the conditions on both sides of the
Atlantic, it follows that the American
woman is the natural mate for the
English man. AS for the American
man and the English woman, the poor
things have fallen so far behind in
their evolution that it really does not
matter what becomes of them
All this makes very amusing read
ing. and we can understand why 1t
should be written by an American
newspaper woman anxious not to be
overlooked in the Anglo-Saxon me-
tropolis, but we do wonder that so
astute a person as Mrs. Atherton
should have disregarded the fact that
in common honesty the American
woman and English man are not at
liberty to dispose Of their lives to
each other in the wholesale fashion
she suggests. In practical terms, their
highly evoluted selves are mortgaged
to the people who have paid the bills.
A high degree of evolution is an ex-
pensive article. If the American
woman is cultivated, the cost has been
chargeable to the American man; if
the Englishman has leisure for self
development it is due in part to &C
cumulated ancestral earnings, but even
more to the self-effacing devotion Of
his womankind. Expensive articles
belong by right to the people who can
afford them, and it becomes obvious al
once that from the business stand
point the combination Mrs. Atherton
advocates Is union of two incapables,
which would be advantageous to
neither. 1t is not going to be neces4
sary however, to put the sentimental
problem Of international marriage
upon this commercial basis, for so far
as heard from, the lady from Califor
MIA, who is possibly, as little appre-
ciated as appreciative here, is the only
American woman who holds the Annex
lean man in scorn.

Some curiosity has been stirred up
both here and in England as to tho
purpose of the visit of Mr.. Chamber.
lain, the English secretary for the COLI
onies, to this country. He was prompt
to assure his people that 1t was purely
on private business and had no poll
teal significance, but there and here
1t is suspected that he was using thu
language after the manner Of dipll>
mats to conceal instead of to state the
truth. But we are inclined to accept
his statement as candid. 1t is pos
sible, If not probable, that he is here
to endeavor to renew the business ar
rangements his firm made some years
ago with the American Screw COM
pany, by which, in consideration OF
the English firm refraining from send
ing their wood screws into the Ameri-
can market, the former paid che latter

lain admitted was very satisfactory"

A JUST POLICY.

The decision of the management of
the st. Paul city hospital to allot
places on the staff to designated ply
sicians of the homeopathic school ends
a long continued controversy in a way
that will be thoroughly satisfactory to
the entire people Of the city. The claim
of the homeopathic scnoo1 for this
recognition is not of recent date. For
great many years members of that
branch of the profession have felt that
they were excluded from proper repre-
sentation in an institution supported
by public taxtion, and which should
therefore properly be representative
of the public without regard to
schools" Moreover, it seems only
right that the patients them
selves should have choice of
treatment offered to them even
if they do not request it, The
knowledge that only one school was
officially represented heretofore has, of
course, procured their acquiescence,
but did not prove that they were salts
The time has gone by when anybody
can sheer at homeopathic methods
Of treating disease without casting a
reflection upon his own intelligence.
We do not pass any opinion whatever
upon the relative merits Of the two
schools, but we do say that the
achievements of the younger Of them,
together with the number and stand
ing both of it's professional representa-
tives and Of those who prefer it's treat
ment, and also the actual results
which it can now show, after a great
many years of trial, all unite to make
it's standing thoroughly respectable. 1t
is entitled to be admitted and accepted
upon an equal footing with the allo-
pathic system, and can no longer be
dismissed with sneer.
1t seems to be particularly fortunate
that the arrangements agreed upon in
the city hospital should have been
reached by amicable negotiations, and
not by moral or legal compulsion The
successful management of that great
and beneficent institution requires
more than mere superficial co-opera-
ton among all those who are attached
to it. That it's authorities have come
to see that the time for naming a
homeopathic staff has arrived, and
that the members of the latter take
their places with the kindliest feelings
toward their associates, is the best
guarantee that the workings of the
new system will be generally satisfac-
tory. This is still further assured by
the high personal and professional
standing of the physicians who have
been selected to represent homeopathy
on the hospital staff. We congratulate
the parties concerned all around, and
believe that the intelligent tax-paying
public must heartily approve of the
change that has been made.
