Humor orDemonrntic Platforms.

One of the planks in the platforms
that all the Democratic conventions are
adopting this year renfEirms the Chica-
go platform of 1896. 1t contains the
statement that prostraton of industry
and lmpoverlshment of the people pre-
vail. 1t contains the further assertion
that "monometalllsm has locked the
property of an Industrial people in the
paralysis Of hard times" 1t is Won
derful-the audacIty of this party Of
opposition. 1t Is an expert In the art
OF twisting things in any manner 1t de-
sIres, simply to have a platform. as
though matters were in condition Of
gloom and despair. In nutshell, the
New York Sun, which in these days, is
having more fun than any other paper
with the Democracy, gives the situation
when 1t remarks gravely, but humOr-
ousiy, It the paradox may be permit
ted, that when every industry and ev-
cry occupation is thriving, when the
railroads are choked with freight, and
the farmers are crying for harvest
hands, the Democrats are insisting in
tho Language of the Chicago platform,
that 'prostratlon of industry and the
Impoverlshment of the people pre-
vail"
So now, says the New York contem-
porary, in the very noon of prosperity,
the Democratic party is wagglng its
Doll solemnIy, and complaining Of this
alleged and Imaginary state Of affairs
the prostratlon of industry and i'm
poverlshment, and the paralysis of hard
times.
What the Democracy lacks at present
is a wise, consistent Intelligent, honest
leader-or, perhaps several leaders.
who can see what is going on In the
country, and be able to analyzs the In
dustrial and general business condi-
lions. The Sun never did more apt
or timely thing than when 1t propound-
ed the following pointed question: us it
ignorance or lmpudence, or mere idtocy
or hopelessly benighted and belated
state Of mind that drives the Democrat
ic party into affirming and reafIlrming
what every man with eyes in his head
knows to be false?"
II the sun desires an answer 1t may
be given in a few words. Substitute
the word and" for "or" between each
important word in the question. and
transpose the frst two words, making

sunpressed the News.

Toledo Blade: There were more than
dozen representatives OF the Enquirer
at GAINESVILLE this week reporting the
news Of the Democratic state conven-
ton. 1t is somewhat surprising that
these wlde-awake young men should
miss the smallest item Of news, and
yet some very important things were
said even on the floor of the convention
hall which these gentlemen failed to re-
port.
For instance, in General Warmers
speech nominating Colonel Kllbourne.
the old war horse used the following
language.
Which shall control in this conVen-
ton, money or the people? Let US,
then, stand by our principles, stand by
the people. Scorn the proffer Of money
for a corrupt campaign. Go into the
fight as Democrats as you have done
in times past under leaders you were
proud oE-Thurrnan, Allen, Pendleton,
Ward-true TO convictions, proud to be
in the right, and we will win. Any other
course viii lead to defeat and disgrace"
Strange to say, the Enquirer did not
publish this interesting extract, nelther
did it report the sentence in the same
speech In which, referring to Colonel
KIlbourne, General Warner said: HE
did not have to move into the state in
order to become a candidate for COVER
nor, because he never was forced to
move out Of It," Queer, isn't 1t, that
this part Of General Warmers speech
should have been overlooked by the En-
quirer.
Then there was the speech Of Hon. A.
w. Patrick secondIng the nomination
OF Colonel Kllbourne. Why was 1t that
the Enquirer should fail to report this
sentence, referring to Colonel Kill
bourne: He was born in Ohio and he
never left Ohio except to go into the
battlefield OF his country. II he is nom
mated to-day. 1t will not be by a gang
nor the bought up votes Of delegates"
These extracts make good reading,
but Mr. McLean's paper failed to pub
lish them. Wonder why?

simply expressing what is precisely
the policy virtually declared all along
by the administration, and was under
stood and practically pledged at the
time OF the declaration Of war. II the
Register win revive that declaration Of
Congress 1t will ascertain this to be
true. II annexation results 1t win be by
the known consent of the people.
The policy as to the Philippines af-
ter peace and order is restored and our
obligations under the treaty and re-
sponsibiiities before the civilized ma
lions are fulfilled, as advocated by
many of our leading supporters Of the
national administration, is not far dis
similar to that suggested by General
Lee as to Cuba. While the President
in his speeches has all along declared
that the first duty Of the United States
was to accomplish these things, It was
the duty of Congress to provide for the
future of the conquered territory, and
arrange for government on the basis
OF American freedom and civilization,
with a view to self government, when
self government would be safe, and un-
der American protection. He has been
applauded by the country for these sem
tlments. No one can tell what Con-
gress viii do. but no Congress, where
the honor and credit OF the country is
involved. will fail to act wisely. The
Register is either reforming itself, or
is beginning to see the Hight Of con-
servatism.

Washington Star: Nor should 1t be
overlooked that in pronouncing against
the exercise Of the national authority in
the Philippines. the GAINESVILLE platform
Is most distinctly In line with the Nc
Lean record and the traditions OF the
Cincinnati Enquirer. That newspaper
was the organ OF all those In the states
OF Ohio, Indiana and Illinois who OPP
posed the war for the Union. It was
opposed to the presence Of Union troops
in the south, employed In an effort to
Crush and destroy dawning" repub-
lie south Of Mason and DiXon's line.
John r. Mclean, 1t is true, was not
the director OF the Enquirer In those
days. But the paper opposes now, as 1t
opposed then, the exercise OF the nation
al authority for the welfare OF the
Union. and he stands for the paper
now. And Just as there were many
Democrats In Ohio who rejected Its
leadership then and gave hearty. and
ungrudging support to Mr.. Lincoln in
his efforts to save the Union, there are
likely to be many who Will reject It's
leadership at this time and support Mr..
Mckinley in what Is so clearly n ma
tional duty and necessity.

rmo Importnnt Erents.

Two important local events yesterday
were the opening of the fall term of the
public schools, and the Inauguration Of
the West Virginia Exposition and State
Fair. The opening OF the fair does not
seem to have affected the attendance Of
the children at school. for the enroll
ment was up to the average on first
days-about 5000. and the good weather
helped to make the beginning OF the
fair an ausplclous one.
Both institutions are educators,
though on different lines. One educates
the youth to become good and intellI-
gent citizens, and the other demon
strates what the intelligence of mntur-
er years, which found its birth In the
public schools. has accomplished In the
way Of general progress.
Aside from these events, yesterday
was a national holiday, being National
Labor Day, and those who had business
at the banks and government offices
were Obliged to walt another day, hav-
ing already brldged over Sunday. But
the weather was pleasant, and every
body was better satisfied with mater
ial fall of the temperature.

London, June ga representative Of
the Associated Press saw Senator
Chauncey NJ. Depew. OF New York, to-
night. He said:
LAS regards the expansion policy of
the administration, I quite agree with
proceeding with this campaign. We
are convinced We are right, and Pres
ident Mckinley will go forward, / be-
lieve, to q successful issue. Mistakes
have been made. but we learn by mis-
takes and depend on it. we are going to
come out on top.
The situation in Paris. which Is
equivalent to France. seems gradually
becoming broader. All this spasmodic
upset. this changing of ministers, these
cries from the house tops, are surely
laying the foundation of making men
divide of into those cognate parties
which. we'll defined. will in my opinion
yet raise France and keep her in the
front rank.
Il have come back to London and
am proud Of the marvellous success OF
our ambassador, Mr.. Choate. He is
going to make great mark. We did
not see the work Mr.. Bayard did at the
time he gave expression to sentiment
which possibly had no reality in Eng
land, and he knew 1t. We did not know
1t and blamed him. But he was laying
foundation and accomplished the
marvellous work OF preparing the way
Tor the grand revolution in popular sem
timent on both sides Of the Atlantic.
Il go back confident that we have
great times coming In the United
States. Question not dreamed of in the
last struggle are forging to the front
and the fight will be keen and stiff,
and, as report goes, no man can tell
the issue with any success till the cleo
toral vote is declared"
