the District OF Columbia was 1903:

appropriate national celebration OF the
centennial anniversary OF the estab-
mcnt OF the seat OF government In the
District OF Columbia" the committee

THE DEMOCRATIC CONTENTION.

National Democracy clearly though per

OF the Democratic State Convention yesterday

upon the galleries shouted: Only one. There's
nobody but Bryan The sentiment was rather
awkwardly expressed, but it frank recog-
milton Of the fact that the party does not think
IL worth while even 10 pretend TO look for any
other candidate than the man who vociferously
led it to defeat in 1896 and is almost universally
expected to do the same thing again this year
The man9uvres of HILL Tammany and the
Mclaughlin contingent during the last few
weeks have not been conducted with any idea
IN any quarter OF making Roadway against
Bryan. 1t is conceivable that the ex- Governor
has not been wholly free from a disinterested
desire 70 serve his party by counsels of moder-
alton but the general aspect of the operations in
which the State leaders were engaged down to
the day and hour of the convention has been
that of a selfish fight Cor the most favorable
position from which TO collect the wreckage
after the party has gone down in November.
II anything had been lacking TO complete the
gloom in which the representatives of New

monopolies is a fantastic sham and that their
hearts bleed for the people only when they
themselves have found no chance to GET rich by
bleeding the people. If mother States linger-
ing hope prevails that something can be made

with which the Democratic party has appealed

inopportunely. Whether attributed by the pro-

fool the people can never be forgotten.

THE CVLNJNATION IN ST. LOUIS.

THE ELIMINATION IN ST. LOUIS.
Now that the rioting in st. Louis has taken
the form of pursuing, stripping and beating
women who ride In streetcars which the rioters
have forbidden to run, the strike leaders begin
TO show some anxiety. They resent, it is SAID
every intimat ton that their followers have taken
part in such proceedings, and have even gone so
far TO declare that the guilty ought TO De
punished. We do not doubt for moment that
if any Of the men who were recently earning an
honest living in the employ of the street rail
roads of st. Louis have been engaged in this
latest devltry or even silently approve of it,
they are an extremely small minority of the
whole body of strikers. But the fact remains
that whoever has helped to commit or failed TO
condemn the lawlessness which has prevailed
in st. Louis for full month must be held IN
some degree responsible for these obscene
atrocities If the violence which broke out on
the first day of the strike had been promptly
and vigorously denounced by those whose pur-
poses it was intended to promote, there is good
reason TO believe that it would have ended al
most quickly as IL began. And it is certain
that if the strikers, having taken that step
had gone further and offered their services to
the public authorities for the preservation of
the peace, there would have been no serious
disturbance and they would have commanded
reply is that in that men enough would
have been found to take their places and the
strike would consequently have failed then the
question arises whether not they mean that
violence which stops just short of singing out
defenceless women for brutal indignfttes is
sanctifed by the cause in which it is employed
We hope there is sufficient warrant for be-
lieving that the shocking elimination of four
weeks of disorder has suddenly revealed to
great majority of strikers the real character or
the acts at which they seem at least 70 have
connived. In any case, the community is evil
IDENTITY beginning to realize the imperative
necessity of asserting the supremacy of the
law without further waste of time in inefficient
measures. The Governor has at last been ap-
peaed to by influential citizens of both sexes
to order out the militia in sufficient force to
end situation which has become intolerable
1t is pretty evident that this course ought to
have been adopted long ago, and the Governor

WHY ABROGATE THE TREATY NOW

WHY ABROGATE THE TREATY NOW7
Senator Morgan whose attitude in foreign
affairs has often been admirable, and whose
devotion to the cause of an isthmian canal under
the American flag is worthy of high praise, has
introduced into the Senate a resolution for the
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty. The
resolution comes from the Committee on Inter
oceanic Canals of which he Is chairman. we
may assume. therefore, that it expresses his
sentiments and is intended by him and by his
colleagues TO be step in furtherance of the
canal enterprise. In fact, it is only in this
latter capacity that the resolution could have
any valid reason for existence.
1t does not seem clear, however, that the reso-
luton is altogether opportune or that its adop-
ton would prove to be beneficent The question
might he raised, indeed whether it is appro-
pirate for the Senate to take the initiative in
such matters. In making treaties the Executive
takes the lead and the Senate ratifies or vetoes
his action. 1t might be argued, therefore, that
the same order should be followed in the abro-
CATION of treaties. Letting that pass, however,
as a mere detail, the more formidable consider
alton arises that there is already before the
Senate for it's ratification rejection a treaty
which was duly negotiated for the modification
of the Clayton Buwer instrument In case this
resolution of Senator Morgan's were adopted,
what would become of that treaty? To ratify it
would be absurd since 1t would no longer be
valid instrument nor be acceptable to either of
the Governments that negotiated it 1t may
we'll be asked whether such burking by indreC
ton would be either courageous a courteous
way of dsp0Sing of the Hay-Pauncefote Treaty.
Nor does the resolution seem to contain
within itself the promise and potency of
speedy construction of the much desired canal.
The friends of the canal have not yet been able
to get a law enacted favoring their enterprise.
One has recently got through the House of Rep
resentatives, but in the Senate action upon it
has been postponed until next fall. Certainly no
action for the construction of the canal can
be taken until it or some like measure becomes
law. In the mean time the Clayton Bulwer
Treaty can do no harm, and might possibly
serve some good purpose. Why not let II stand?
1t will be time enough to abrogate it when we
are ready to substitute something more salts
factory in its place. We have no notion that
abrogation of the treaty would make one
whit more certain the enactment of the Canal
Ell next fall. And if the Canal bill be enacted
next fall there will be no difficulty in adopting
al the same time resolution for the abrogation
of the treaty, If that be deemed necessary
There is n wise old precept which bids us to
be "Off with the old love before on with the
new" 1t is equally wise to make sure of the
new before discardng the old.

correspondent in Mondays Tribune sug-
gested that a tax should be imposed upon
posters and painted hoardings used for adver-
Using purposes The idea is a good one and
has been hitherto put forward with commenda-
ton in these columns. There can be no question
of the propriety of levying such a tax. Such
advertising is a business and it should be made
to bear its share of II e burdens of taxation as
well as any other business. Certainly that is the
case when-as is often TO be observed-the sign

justice that any should be permitted ii
