secured their franchises for nothing or for a
ridiculously small sum, and they pay next to
nothing into the city treasury. Why can they
not be compelled to pave the streets which they
use and keep them in good order? The next
time they come before the city authorities ask
ing for new privileges let the privileges be
granted on the Philadelphia basis, and the

CANADIAN COURTESY.

Canada sends us large number Of her peo-
pie, the inflow annually increasing and they
form a welcome addition to our population.
They do not seem to find scope for all their
energies Mt home and they are not so well
recompep ed there. so that their somewhat
wholesale expatriation Is not thing to be won
dered at 1t Is generally, too. but not always,
the best class that comes hither the most in
telligent and ambitious. and after q short time
most of them come round to the idea that 1t
would be a good thing for Canada to Join us
altogether and share the advantage Of union
with the most prosperous and advancing Nation
in the world
On the other hand, we occasionally send a
few OF our people thither to correct the effects
Of Canadian mismanagement. as was recently
done in the case Of leading Canadian rail
road, to which we have supplied competent
director He has surrounded himself with a
staff Of American assistants, equal to their
duties as their predecessors do not seem to
have been, and we are sorry to say that some
of the Canadians exhibit jealousy toward their
employment, and propose that a law should be
enacted forbddng the importation Of aliens to
be employed In such responsible work. This
would be an extremely foolish notion. but a

There is no lack Of common sense in the coun-

the United States rather than jealousy of and

a complete union with it. The country ought
to welcome the experts whom we send her in
her need instead Of resentng their employment.
If she possessed equally competent ones at home
there would be no need Of drawing upon us
for them. but when she has done so she ought
at least to give them generous and ungrudg-
ing welcome

THE PLATFORM.

Another such platform as this Of Chicago, as
it was prepared by the committee, ready for
presentation when the Convention adjourned,
and is practically certain to be adopted to-day,
has not been seen for many years There Is rea-
son to pray that such another may never be seen.
Not because Of Its frankness, for that Is It's
only merit. Other platforms have meant about
as much and said next to nothing. But this
one, crude, graceless and blunt Is plainly the
work of men who mean to do all that they say,
and whose fierce passions will rush them into
doing even more IL they ever can. 1t is the first
duty Of all men to take this platform at its
word, to know that the vast power behind it Is
to the full as bad and as dangerous to the Ma
TONS life and well-being as the threats which
are put on paper, and that this deadly power
must be met and crushed. No matter what
candidate may be placed on such an avOwal Of
belief and purpose II would be but right to re-
member that those who pick him know best
how far they can make him their tool.
1t was to be expected that the free coinage Of
silver would be demanded without reservation,
qualification or condition, and the phrases used
on that subject are very much OF the furiollsly
feeble order. They do not offer one rational
argument for bimetall!sm or for that separate
action which the ablest and most earnest BIZ
metallists In other lands believe would go fnr
to prevent any step by the nations In that d.
rectiOn. Reckless assertions which have been
many times disproved, crazy guesses which no.
body has ever tried to uphold by serious argu-
ment and the wild rant OF men who have
ceased to respect either their own reasoning
faculty or that Of others, constitute this aston
| ishing dellverance. The manner Of presenting
this issue Is even more significant than the fact
that 1t Is thrust upon us, for men who have
their senses do not try to gain votes by putting
their case In the most offensive form.
The declaration against sales Of bonds through
banking syndicates would mean something. II
II did not come from men who. by refusing to
permit adequate revenue to be raised or proper
issues of bonds to be authorized. provided the
only excuse for such operations. And this same
| Convention, as il to make more pointed and
deadly its blow mt the public credit, dcnOunces
any tariff except for revenue, and any attempt
| 10 restore the Protective tariff Of 1890. In the
same spirit Of rant and random assertion that
measure ia accused OF all the evils and crimes
which have In fact followed the Infamous Bib
of Sale" which was packed with favors grant
ed TO monopoles." and the country Is told that
this measure Of "perldy and dishonor' must
stand until the money question u settled =

DEMOCRACY on DRESS PARADE.

Among the blind the one-eyed man is king.
That is fitting rule. But what spectacle IS
presented by mob of blind men madly CROP
ing for the blindest Of their number to make
him ruler over those whose vision is uniIn-
paired. That is the scene this week sees NJ
Chicago 1t may be that this convention fair'
" represents the Democratic party. though to
say so is to utter an appalling indictment OF
that organization. To call it representative
of the American people, or of considerable
proportion of them, is to utter libel too gross
for characterization. Never before outside or
Redlam was there a gathering so peryaded
with all that is repugpant to the sentient mind.
There are ancient hatreds, and time-worn
preiudices and revamped calumnies. There are
greed and cOvetOusness and malice. and all the
unclean passions that deform the human soul.
There Is. above all and underlying all and en-
bracing all. an ignorance so dense that 1t seems
aattery TO call it british OF such is the King
dom of Democracy.
Nor are the leaders unworthy of the multi
tudc. There is a common phrase, presidential
timber" used to describe those men who by
general consent are reckoned at least worthy
of consideration for the headship Of the State.
But where in this motley gathering. shall we
or grain of sawdust: Among those whose
blooms" are most in evidence there Is not one
whom any sclf-respecting American citizen can
seriously think Of as President without shud-
der of disgust The two or three men of Demo-
cratic light and leading whose intellectual at
tainmcnts and public services entitle them to
general recognition are hopelcssly out OF the
race One. once distinguished as the Fool
Killer Of his party. anticipated memorable fate
by declaring himself not candidate. Another.
endeared to his party by his expertness in
manufacturing ma iorites for 1t, Is deemed TOO
wise and good to he even temporary chairman
of the Convention. and is ANONYMOUSLY turned
down. The real leaders are a raving Anarchist
and a coarse buifOOn.
Who the Presidential candidate will be the
god of misrule only knows. But who are they
whose aspirations are most promising? Windy
cranks dscrcdited back numbers" parOchial
blatherskitcs calamity hOwlers from Way
back" There Is not one whose name Is famil-
lar to the mass Of his countrymen, unless as a
byword of contempt. There Is not one whose
name before the present pandemonium. had
been heard n dozen times outside the United
States. Compare this state of affairs with that
of last month. There were several prominent
candidates before the ST. Louis Convention.
There was not one Of them who had not for
years been regarded throughout the land rs a
proper candidate for the chair Of Washington
and Lincoln There was not one who had not
for years beer known to the whole world as n
representative American. That is the contrasr
between Republicanism and Democracy as they
exist to-day and as they now appeal for the
SURFACES Of the American people

THE CONVENTION.

The silver horde has It's majority Of two
thirds. For seven and half hours the Chicago
Convention waited In angry impatience, two
hours more II heard fiery speeches about the
capture Of Michigan delegates by office-holders
under orders from the Administration and then
voted 5jS for and 36S against the report seat
ing four contestants, and under the unit rule
turning over the twenty eight votes of Michi-
gan to the silver side The gold Democrats
have their second reason for boiling the Con-
ventiOn. but they wait for others. Probably
they calculate that it will be impossible for the
bare twO-thirds Of silver men to concentrate
their entire number on any candidate but be-
fore that difficulty can be reached the gold
men must either go out on the adoption Of n
silver platform. or stay and vote without in
tending to support it. If the majority Of any
delegation goes out. others will stay. join the
silver force, and cast the entire vote of the
delegation. So the woudbe boilers appear to
be chained to their seats.
When the Michigan men are out. and the
Anarchist platform has been adopted, as it
doubtless will be, what then: With twO-thirds,
but barely. are the silver men any nearer their
aim? Some of them are asking this with grow
ing intensity Of impatience. rush might bring
them all together and nominate Bland, but the
POpulists have served notice that they will not
touch him. and there are strong silver delega-
tions which seem determined to refuse. The
only thing necessary to kill off any man at the
top is to keep back a few of the 600 silver men
in the hope that their candidate may then have
a chance. The talk of various other candidates
Is blocked by the passionate determination Of
the zone suspender' crowd not to be trcked.
Bland they know. and some other man might
mean only a 'Wall Street swndle." Mclean
has some who believe In him, especially remem-
bering that he has money. but the zone sus-
pender" crowd does not want "bOated cap
italist." The great Senatorial conspiracy works
without ceasing to create necessity for Teller,
but were he nominated there would come the
question how many Democratic votes he could
poll If the silver force could see q way to unite
its two-thirds vote on anybody, with decent
chance of electing him, the Convention would
not have been waiting and doing little yester-
day. But when men get desperate they are apt
to do the thing that best suits their temper,
whether it offers any chance or not If every
thing means ruin, the kind Of ruin that en-
braces revenge will be sweet. In that temper
this mob of Anarchists may at any time do al
most anything, except the thing which would
be honest and patriotic.

He is right in saying that his fellow-citizens

A LESSON FROM PHILADELPHIA.

New-YOrk and Brooklyn, not TO mention
other cities, have some things to learn from
Philadelphia, albeit the Quaker City has the
reputation Of being slow going town and not
quite up to date. 1t Is evident from some re-
marks printed In The Tribune last Sunday,
however. that in respect of asphalt and brick
pavements Philadelphia Is able to give points
To city officials In our more immediate vicinity.
over there wonderful transformation has
been wrought in the last two years. and
throughout large part Of It's territory Phlla-
delphia Is now thoroughly well paved This re-
suit has been gained largely through the con-
diion imposed on the surface railroad COM
pancs when they sought the privilege Of adopt
ing electricity as Il motive power In the place
Of horses. Through somebody's foresight and
sound judgment the companies were required
to repave all the streets used by them In such
manner as the proper city authorities should
direct. In this way more than 100 miles OF
asphalt paving has been provided without the
outlay OF cent by the taxpayers, and In ad-
dition the city has put down a good deal Of
brick and asphalt on It's own account.
No one can contrast the condition OF things
In Philadelphia with that In our own cities,
Notwithstanding the progress they are making
In the right direction without seeing that we
are far In the rear Of a city that IL not sup
posed to be characterized by the spirit OF prog
ress. Thus far the trolley. which can be seen
everywhere In Philadelphia. has fortunately
not invaded Manhattan Island to q considerab bic
extent. but the same principle would have been
applicable In the case of those companies which
