SENATOR DANIELS IDEA.
tor Daniel strikes the keynote when
he says the Democrats should make a
platform for 1900. The New York
World says of this:
Senator Daniel. Of Virginia. sec
onds the Worlds motion for "a living
platform 10 these words:
al hope the Democratic party will
have the courage to make platform
at Kansas City for the year 1900
"Has not every Democratic Ma
tional Convention made its own plat
form, adapted to the year in which it
met? Is it not fact that no Nation
al Convention ever 'reaffirmed' plat
form four years old?
"The Chicago Convention made a
platform for the year 1896. Its first
plank began thus:
"'Recognizing that the money ques-
ton is paramount to all others at this
time, we invite attention. etc.
"Will any Democrat pretend that
the money question is paramount to
all others at this timer"

The South on Dewey's Candidacy

Judging from the expressionof lead
ing Southern newspapers the trend of
opinion regarding Admiral Dewey's
candidacy for thesPresidency in the
South is decidedly unfavorable. The
Petersburg VA Index-Appeal says
that however profitless the Admirsl's
candidacy may be to him, cit will
not do TO treat il as a Joke" The
Atlanta Ca Constitution character
ICES the candidacy as "a dead duck. +"
and adds that Admiral Dewey "has
let himself down to the level of the
ordinary politician" The Macon
Ca Telegraph speaks of 1.-The brave
but misguided admiral, who must
have already realized that 1t paws to
stick to ones last" Colonel Wat
tersOn's paper, the Louisville XIV
Courier-Journal SAYS that Dewey is
"toO late" The Louisville CONNER
cial refuses 70 undertake to depict
the chagrin Of Admiral Dewey's real
friends and truly devoted admirers.
Admiral Dewey Is presidential i'm
possibility" The Memphis Tenn
Commercial-Appeal SAYS that "Dew-
ey is not suitable material for the
making of a president" The Chat
tanoOgs Tenn Times has no opin-
ion that 1t cares to express at pres
ent, but finds many interesting pos
sibilities 10 the Admiral's candidacy.
The New Orleans LA States saws
that The whole thing is lamentable.
pitiable." The Times-Democrat Of
the same city objects to Dewey as a
presidential candidate because he is
ga spoiled favorite of fortune, unfit
ted ito lead the masses against the
classes" This paper also expresses
the opinion that the candidacy is a
scheme of eastern politicians to shelve
Mr.. Bryan, but 'the Democrats will
cling to Mr.. Bryan with unchsnging
devotion" The New Orleans Plea
yune, on the other hand, thinks that
dewey would be preferable either to
Bryan or Mckinley as president, -
but "the admiral has no show with
either of the great parties, and as an
independent candidate he would only
be made ridiculous" The Dallas
Galveston Tex News sees no chance
of success for Dewey, but it declares
that There are thousands of indie
pendents who would rejoice over an
opportunity TO vote for the hero of
Manila and thus assist in the great
work of lifting the country out of the
mire of a very low and rank politics. =

There seems 70 be little or no
doubt that the Nicaraguan bill will
be taken up IN the house about Nav
l and adopted. 1t will then go to
the Senate, where it is improbable
that any action will be taken until
next winter, although Senator Nor
gan will undoubtedly make another
effort to have it considered. The
Senate, however, recently voted down
a motion TO set date for its consid
GRAFTON and it is unlikely that it will
reverse itself this much nearer the
hoped for end of the session. Mean
time, the House Committee Cd Com
merce has decided to strike out Of
the bill, as reported, the provision
instructing the Secretary of War to
''fortify" the canal. This, it is
hoped, will satisfy those who hold
that the Clayton-Bulwer treaty for
bids US to fortify without British
