ANOTHER IMPORTANT ISSUE
For the Democratic National Con-
ventiOn Suggested by ex-senator
nuUiI N Hill

For the Democratic National Con-
vention Suggested by ex-senator
David B. Hill.
SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 24.-Five
hundred leading Democrats of SYRIA
cuse and Northern and Central New
York attended the Jefferson dinner
given under the auspices of the local
Democracy by Mayor James *. Nc
CURE last night. Gold men and silver
advocates united in making the affair
a great political success.
Former Senator David B. Hill made
the main speech of the evening. He
said in part:
'The public interest would in my
opinion be promoted by the election
of United States Senators by the peo-
pie instead of by State legislatures. 1
hazard nothing in stating that nine
tenth of the people of the country
favor the proposed change and are
much gratified at the recent passage
of a constitutional amendment to that
effect by the House of Representatives
and which is now pending in the Unit
ed States Senate awaiting action. The
success of this reform would mean the
death knell of offensive bossism in the
federal senate, a conSummation much
to be desired.
Permit me to say in this connec-
tion that a plank favoring an amend
ment to the constitution, providing
for the election Of United States Sen
ators by the people, was in the orig
inal draft of the Chicago platform of
1896, but was stricken therefrom by
the subcommittee on resolutions
against my earnest protest. While
not intending to discuss national ques-
tions here this evening, | may digress
sufficiently to say that there is now
every reasonable prospect that such
wise action may be had that it can be
t%ruthfully said at the conclusion of
the coming convention at Kansas City
on the anniversary of our nations in
dependence that The stone which the
builders refused is become the head of
the corner"

INTERNATIONAL ASPECT
Lent to the Effort to Blow Up the

WelIand Canal Locks by the Pleas
of the Suspects.
BUFFALO, N. Y, April PA spe-
cial to the News from Ottawa reports
an interview with Hon. David Mills,
minister of justice, on the recent at
tempt to blow up the Welland canal
locks, in which he said it was possible
from the declaration of the men that
they were United States citizens, that
they proposed to plead their offense
was a political one.
"If," he continued, they were part
of a Boer organization, then they
were guilty of treason to the sovereign
power of the United States for having
%conspired against organized govern
ment, and on the other hand they
would be guilty of making an unwar-
rantable war upon Canada, a friendly
nation. Then, surely, the political
offense would be evident and the Uni
ted States would deal with them sum-
marily. However, in general, if the
culprits plead political offense then the
matter would become a question of
diplomatic communications from the
United States and would be directed
to the federal government"

BY THEIR WORKS
The Gold Standard Democrats Will

BE Judged, Says Hon. III. S. Holt.
To the Editor of the Register.
WESTON, w. Va, April 24.-Judg-
ing from a communication regarding
the selection of the Big Four from
Parkersburg, which found space in
your columns of April 23d, it is indis-
putably apparent that the one percent
of the Democratic party that Mark
Hanna Clipped off with his gold chisel
is gathering itself. together for the pur-
pose of debating delegates to the ma
tional Democratic convention at Kan
sas City, and it may just as well be
understood now. that if the recalci-
trapt element which made Mckinley
a possibility, is to be the delegation
from this State that w. J. Bryan, who
is the choice of the ninety-nine per-
cent of the Democratic party, will have
to get enough votes to nominate him
outside of the West Virginia, delega-
ton.
Had the recalcitrants, or boilers, al
any time since 1898 made a public
declaration of regrets or a promise OF
reform in the direction of undoing
the wrong of foisting upon the people
of this nation its first would-be en-
peror, then there might be a shadow
OF an excuse for recognizing them or
trusting them to choose the standard
bearer of the Democratic party in 1900.
But no such acknowledgment having
been made, either in public or private,
it will be unwise to honor them by
placing a nomination in their hands.
1t may be good scripture to leave the
ninety and nine and seek the one that
went astray, but when too late it will
be found to be bad politics.
Time and opportunity will be Of
fered the prodigals to make amends,
