Springfield. Mass. Republican,: 1t
10 our opinion that. with all Its splen-
dor, the Republican convention OF 1900
has a fatal lack. which appears no.
where more clearly than in the brill
liant speeches OF its two chairmen.
The conscience. the idealism. the glor-
ious fidelity to human rights, which
are now embodied by Hoar. Boutwell,.
Edmunds and the rest. are not there.
The materialism Of Hanna. the cynical
political ethics Of Lodge. the swash-
buckler fervor of Roosevelt-all these
are there. and they dominate every
thing. II II not surprising that the
proceedings are described as lacking
In enthusiasm. Nor Is 1t strange that
the great apostacy of the republic in
the far East is left almost to foot
note In the platform. while the con-
vention orator. hurriedly pass the
painful subject by.

Labor In the cabl...

The Republican platform declared
for a new cabinet ofacer-a minister OF
commerce. The Democrats also favor
an Increase In the presidents otncial
family. But they call for secretary
Of labor.
This difference shows the difference
in attitude between the two parties.
The Republicans look at economic
questions from the side Of the capital
lists, the Democrats from the side OF
the workers. They hold that prosper
ity means the accumulation Of vast
wealth by the few. The Democrats
believe that the welfare OF the workers
the producers. IL the foundation Of
general prosperity. A country is pros
porous when the masses are contented
receiving fair share OF the products
Of their toll. Governments are for
the benefit of the many and not Of the
few.-Evansville Courier.

A Political Fable

The Chicago Public draws attention
to the fact (uttetiy ignored In the
press dispatches. a. nearly all essential
facts usually are) that the great ice
trust Of New FORK. In which prominent
politicians Of both parties are deeply
Interested. rested not upon any power
Of organization. but upon 4 monopoly
OF the docks. II these had been free to
all shippers. the trust would have been
rendpred impossible by competition.
So 1t is with all trusts: they are made
possible only by laws that foster mon
fopoly of trade. transportation. and
land. Abolish these. and no anti
trust legislation would be needed.

An odd story which may or may not
be true ia that told Of the Marquis OF
Londonderry. Great Britain's new
postmaster general. Before he sue
ceeded to his fathers peerage he stood
for parliament in the Irish County
Down, and was elected as Home Rul-
er. When he subsequently voted
against Home Rule and was charged
with bad faith. he said that he had
never pledged himself to support that
cause. It subsequently turned out
that a practical Joker who resembled
the candidate. had visited County
Down previous to the parliamentary
elections and promised the Irish Ma
tionalists that he would support them
on all questions affecting the welfare

Bla.phenou. Tomfooiery.

Much latitude must be given the
proud American enthusiast once In
every four years because he then ex-
ercises the proud privilege Of free
man in electing ruler; and all sorts
Of extravaganza In language may be
excused, from the most solemn and
funereal to the most tropically exuber-
ant and hysterical. Few people are
permitted to choose their own rulers
and these few should be allowed to ex-
ercise their vocal chords to the fullest
extent. But there Is reason In all
things and some of his admirers are
going beyond all reason In their be-
slobbering eulogies of Roosevelt. The
preachers have been SO far the gravest
offenders. Two gentlemen of the cloth
have taken 1t upon themselves to liken
the hero of San Juan" to the "hero
Of Calvary" and one Of these holy men
has compared Roosevelt's life to the
"businesslike" methods of Jesus.
II this is anything at all It Is bias
phemous tomfoolery. Roosevelt has
been honored and possibly may merit
the honor but that does not entitle him
to canonixation or dedication.

A rr,umph Of science.

An interesting branch Of chemistry
is that which is concerned with the
manufacture of perfumes. In most
cases these substances are high-boiling
oils, which are complex mixtures OF
a number Of compounds, and until
quite recently they were obtained ex-
clusiveiy from flowers. The essential
principles which give the perfumes
their value belong to class of organic
compounds known as terpenes. and II
Is now possible to produce these essen
tial principles instead Of mere imita-
tions. Within ten years wonderful
progress has been made In experiments
dealing with the terpenes by such
chemists as Wallach. Baeyer and Tie
man. and II Is now known that nearly
every substance having the properties
of a perfume has In its molecule GER
tain atomic groups. whose presence
has a marked effect upon the odor.

That condition which Mr.. Bryan
warned his party friends against. when
he pleasantly said. II u undesirable to
nominate . ticket in which the candi-
date for nrst and second place may
6nd It necessary to enter into Joint
debate with one another, appears to
have already developed an illustration
In the case Of the gentleman nomina-
ted for president and vice president by
Mark Hannas convention.
Just before he left on his trip to Ok
lahoma, Candidate Roosevelt gave out
an interview In which he pitched Into
all violations Of the civil service law.
His opening declaration reads thus:
II know that NO republic can perma-
nently endure. when its politics are
corrupt and base. and the spoils sys-
tenn. the application In political life
OF the degrading doctrine that to the
victors belong the spoils. produces cor
ruption and degradation"
This IL bringing Mr.. Mckinley. Mr..
Rooscvelt's running mate. to book with
a vengeance for going back on his oft
repeated declaration that he would
take no step backward in civil serv-
ice reform. by removing the civil serv-
Ice fence from around more than 10.-
900 ofIices. previously filled by the
merit system. and leaving open to the
occupancy Of hungry spoilsmen. in
order to help Mark Hanna carry the
Ohio election last fall for the Repub-
lican ticket.
Again Candidate Roosevelt inserts
the knife into the head of the presi-
Dental ticket. and draws Its blade
sweepingly across the abdomen OF the
man who bosses the Republican party
In the following fashion: Presidents
Arthur. Harrison and Cleveland have
all desired &c see the service extended
and the law we'll administered" How
about President Mckinley? Candidate
Roosevelt ia ominously silent as to the
record of his running mate In the civil
service reform business.
Once more he says: THE spoils'
monsers and the spoils-hunter invari.
ably breed the bribe-taker and the
bribe- giver, the embexzler OF public
funds. and the corrupter Of voters"
No one at all conversant with receni
political history can read the last para
graph without interpreting It as de
piction OF Hanna's election methods
the tactics he employed in getting into
the senate. and his blackmailins post
masters last year out Of corruption

employed Mr.. Dick an his stool pigeon
