CONVENTION COMMENT.

Barker and Donnelly make grand presl-
dental ticket Two men of brains, of
thought. of character, Of hearts beating for
the masses and souls resplendant with emo
lions for mankind. And who can say, at
this early rate, that they will not be in it
neck and neck with the fastest in the final
dash down the home stretch in 1900? If the
people were wise enough and brave enough
to defy all partisan whips, instead Of bow
ing as they have until the very nation
trembles there would be no question as to
the election Of these two gladiators.-West-
ern World
Altogether the work done there is another
step and big one toward unifying the re-
form forces. 1t may not seem so to those
who would have preferred to follow the
old party methods of crooked roads and by-
paths, delaying nominations until the pub
lie mind had been already divided over
profitless contentious. But our brave men
at Cincinnati took the middle of the road
and the straight road at that and have now
laid the foundation firmly and we'll for the
election of president by the people direct.
Inc referendum as applied to candidates
was left handler straight from the
shoulder. 1t not only knocked out the
fusionists, but 1t will knock down the
piutocratic gang of thugs that have
usurped the powers Of the people 10 these
many days. ~"

LAWYERS AND PLUTES RULE.

The state of Vermont is the most
purely agricultural state in the union
east of the Mississippi river, and yet
all the state officers, including the gov
ernor. nominated at the recent Republi-
can state convention, are politicians
and lawyers. One is a millionaire rail-
road president. Thus the legal fraterni-
ty fixes things while the farmers are
harvesting their crops. How can agri-
culture prosper when it abdicates the
right to a fair representation in the
business Of government? That is not the
way to get seat at the first table,

The nomination of Barker and Donnelly
has not only sounded the death knel of
Bryanism, but to the minds of practical
politicians it makes Mr.. Bryan about the
most unavailable candidate the so-cailed
Democracy could have, and it is certain it
has no chance to win with the old candi-
date and the old issue. it is natural to ex-
pect that it will cast about for new
leader and a new issue.
While the POpulists have divided the
Bryan party, their action may result in re-
uniting the Democratic party, with a can
didate now unheard of at the head Of the
ticket in 19OO-Chicago mes-Herald

crossings have been abolished for years
The track goes underneath or overhead
because nearly all the railways ar,
owned or regulated by the govern
| ment
And electric brakes have been invent
ed, by. means Of which an electric ca,
can be brought to an almost sudden stor
in case of danger.
But every electric car company still
uses the old slow, clumsy, inefficient
mandrake, which might have been suf-
ficient to stop the light, slow-runnine
horse cars, but which are of little use on
the 12-ton, swift running electrics of tc
day.
The present brakes are simply chains
tightened by mans weak wrist. They
are often out of order, as every motor
man can prove.
Thus accidents like that at Cohoes are
rendered inevitable, and when one oc-
ours the brainless, hysterical public
shrieks for vengeance upon the unfor-
tunate engineer and motorman, who
were not at all responsible.
How many more such lessons must
we have before we learn how to treat
these corporations?
Eighteen months ago, in Boston, an
electric car was blown in the air by the
explosion of a gas main, and many were
killed and injured.
1t was proved to be "a case Of criminal
negligence on the part of the gas COM
pany.
But nothing was done. The wise and
cultured citizens of the Hub forgot the
whole affair in feT weeks, and the
same blood-stained gas company con-
tinues to do business in the same old
way.

There will be shock of horror. There

it. The party will grow just as intelligence
and knowledge increases. You can help.
We have given the last half dozen years of
our life, besides much of what little hold
ings we had accumulated prior to that,
to help to bring this about. 1t has been
profitable investment in the rich return of
liberty which 1t will bring even to this
generation and to posterity, for principles
do not die with men, they live to tighten
the life to come.-Vineland Independent

Previous 10 this net Of Congress there

competitors yesterday were Yale. Harvard. Prince
ton and Columbia, and each college was represented
by a team OF six men. driving rainstorm swept
over the course and the conditions were anything
but favorable for good golf. The tees were slippery
with mud and the putting greens fairly oozed with
water But as the four days assigned for the
tournament were filed there was no possibility OF
a postponement.
Before the pay started there was an informal
meeting OF the CAPTAINS. at which Harvard pro-
posed an Increase OF eighteen holes In the mai
round OF the team championship. making 1t thirty
six instead OF eighteen holes, az heretofore. This
met with strenuous opposition on the part OF the
others and was finally voted down The cohdi-
tons as ultimately agreed upon. were that the
four teams should be drawn in the first round at
match play, and that the two winners shouid meet
this morning for the championship.
Yale drew Columbia her opponent and liar-
ward met Princeton. John Reid. jr.. captain OF the
