overwhelming victory,
REELECTION OF DIAZ.

In re-electing President Diaz for
term OF four years. dating from Decem-
Der i. next. the people of the Republic
of Mexico have again fitly recognized the
deserts Of the greatest statesman Mexico
has produced. and the man who has done
the most for that country's development
and progress.
The objections ordinarily prevailing
against successive reflections of one
man To- the Presidency of Il Republic do
not seem Ia apply 10 Mexico whose con
dition under DaZ's wise administration
presents exceptional features. There does
not seem In be- any other public man in
Mexico fully qualified To carry on the
work begun by Diaz. His continuance
in power has not developed the dangers
of dictatorship too likely To attach To
such instances. Daz stands peculiarly
for the prosperity and advancement or
his country.
Ii is i'll order. therefore. Ia extend
hearty congratulations t. eur sister Ike
public across the Riu Grandc. Ii Is also
in order To expect the continued growth
OF trade between the United States ana
Mexico. President DiaZ Is one 81 the
most earnest advocates of this closer
commercial relationship, which IL IN the
equal advantage of both Republics. The
outlook for the next four years Is made
brighter by his entrance upon another
Presidential term.

4 DESPAIRING VIEW.

The despairing attitude In which the
municipal administration looks AT the
financial condition of the city. and the
woebegone. helpless way in which it
points to the street railway strike and
the police law as the insuperable, con-
tinuing causes Of this condition, is hard
ly eGifying to ST. Louisans or to citizens
of other cities who direct their glances
toward St Louis.
The fairer analysis of the present
financial condition of the city will seem
TO every st. Louisan to be that a con-
tinued policy of profiigacy and job-mak-
ing, such as was exemplified in the Wit
tenberg bill, weakened the city fnan-
cially. The police law and the street
railway strike did nothing more than
accentuate this weakening.
The condition exists, and nothing can
be gained By recrimination. The situa-
ton must be met and the administration
must take the initiative. Its confession
of inability to meet the condition is a
confession of inability to fill the offices
in which the people placed it
If the municipal administrators
forces had adopted the Hodges retrench-
ment measures, which were before the
last session of the Assembly, its invec-
uves against the police law would meet
more ready support.

DELAYED STATISTICS.

General Grosvenor, the Statistician OF
the Mckinley administration, WAS eier-
yetically engaged about this time IN
1896 issuing periodical bulletins out
lining by States the result Of the eiec-
ton in November.
During the present campaign Geherai
Grosvenor got a bad start, having been
Jared when he found that several
planks on which he had built great
hopes had been edited out of the Repub-
lican platform.
The discussion In which he has since
then been engaged with Lemuel Iii
Quigg. as 10 what became of the pianks,
has in.erfered with his work as Il
s,atistician. Indications are that there
will be no resumption of the work until
after President Mckinley issues his let
ter of acceptance. which. according 10
Grosvenor. will be the real platform OF
the Republican party.
This letter will doubtless contain all
the missing planks except the one III
dorsing with Il profusion OF adJectlves

ley. Those adjectives seem to he IRE
trievably gone.

SHELTERED ON HOT TIN ROOF.
Somebody Took Painters Ladder
Away-Warrant Issued.

George Ghddon. a boss painter. living at
No. 1868 Morgan street. had an experience
Monday on top OF a screening roof which
he will not soon forget Gliddon was asked
by the proprietor of the house at No. 924
North Leonard avenue to make an estimate
of what it would cost to paint the tin roof
Gliddon went out to the house Monday. and
by the aid of a long joint Ladder. climbed
on top of the house. While he was survey
ing the roof some one removed the ladder
Gliddon did not discover his predicament
until he got ready TO come down. He
climbed up to the top to md the skylight,
but there was none. He walked about from
side to side wondering what ne would do
until he finally gave it up as bad job
and sat down on the hot tin to wait. Every
moment the sun grew warmer and warmer
until he was led 10 believe ii was the hot
test place on the continent Finally. after
waiting two hours. the proprietor of the
house came and he managed to make
known his plight
Gliddon finally got down and yesterday
he called at the -Four Courts to swear out
a police summons against Edward Dunn,
who lives In an alley near by. Mr.. Gliddon
said he was sure Dunn had taken the lad
asr down.

BE A DEMOCRAT.

There is an object lesson In the return
TO the Democratic party of eX-Congress-
man John De Witt Warner, which should
not be lost on others who subscribe to
the fundamental principles of Democ-
racy.
As Mr.. Warner wisely argues, the
issue of Imperialism, the paramount
Issue of the present campaign, calls on
all consistent Americans to support the
Democratic party's stand against En-
pire In behalf of the Republic. We have,
indeed. come 10 the parting OF the ways.
We cannot indulge in the acquisition of
subject colonies and the government OF
those colonies against the consent of
their peoples, without surrendering the
principles upon which oar own free Coy
eminent is based. The Republic is in
danger, and its salvation is the first duty
of every American.
Men of Democratic leanings, men who
believe earnestly and heartily in the
great truths of the Declaration of indie
pendence-men who feel that the Amer
lean Constitution still prevails in the
shaping of American policies-men who
recognize the wisdom and justice of the
Monroe Doctrine-are logically bound to
support the Democratic national plat
form and ticket in this campaign They
cannot refuse to do so without violating
their convictions. They cannot align
themselves with Republcanism without
aiigning themselves against the Repub-
lie
Especially should all Democrats who,
like ex-Congressman Warner, left their
party in 1896. now return 10 that party
on the issue of anti-imperialism. The
National Democracy is the American
party. The fight Of 1900 is for the pres
eryation of American principles and in
situations. The Democrat who remains
outside of his party this year will not
feel easy in his mind. There was never
time when faithfulness To true Democ-
racy was so righteousiy demanded as in
this campaign. The Republic is in dam

TO WIN IN ILLINOIS.

1t is TO he noted In the daily news re-
ports of political Developments in Hi
nois that the TannerCuliom feud is still
under full Roadway, and SO peculiarly
bitter in its post-conyention spirit as TO
make the Republican fractional division
more pronounced than ever before.
The Mckinley administration has
caused this intensifying of the feud Inv
so strenuously interfering in behalf of
Senator Cullom as to arouse the Tanner
forces To an exceptionally acute stage of
resentment. 1t is always dangerous for
a national administration TO NEEDLE in
State politics. President Mckinley may
be in line now for a lesson as surprising
and as salutary as when Folcer was

dent of the United States. and with an
excellent State ticket nominated by the
Illinois Democrats, the National and
State Democracy should this year carry
