MAYOR REEDS SPEECH.
How He Welcomed Democratic Del
eGates to Kansas city.

KANSAS CITY, July 4-Mayor Reed,
in welcoming the delegates, said:
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen
To welcome this splendid body of patri-
OTIS is a sufficient honor for any one life
time You come from all parts of this,
the greatest country Of the earth. You
come to represent the democracy of this
world, democracy that was born in no
one mans brain, that is the crystalized
protest of all the ages against oppression
and wrong 1t is as old as the first de-
nunciation of slavery and as ancient as
the earliest dream Of liberty that ever
glorified the horizon of the human soul.
(Applause) Wherever human hearts have
longed for equality, wherever lips have
uttered an invocation to liberty wherever
eyes have swept the skies of tyranny,
and looked for a star of hope. there has
been democracy. (Applause) The
parent springs from the source Of demOc-
racy are lost amid the ruins Of antiquity
but the mighty stream in its sweep
through the centuries has been REDEEMED
with the blood of martyrs, lighted with
the CHASTITY flame of funeral pyres. and
has re-echoed with the shouts Of patriots
concerned for human rights.
Today the stream has broadened into
mighty flood promising life and liberty
and happiness to all mankind. { APP
plause) The history of democracy is
the story Of the battle of human liberty,
a battle that began when man first ap-
pressed his brother In the dim and mystic
circles of the past. I5efore the torch Of
history was lighted We find its records
craven on rocks of ancient human monu-
ments in pictured stories of revolts OF
slaves. We hear its voice out of the
night of time, we see humanity's uplifted
face turned towards the sun Of liberty
and hope Great applause.)
Today you meet upon democratic SOIL
(Applause). Today you meet a demOc-
racy that has never failed to lead the van
in the hour of victory, and that has stood
like an inf1exible wall in the hour OF
defeat. (Applause). Today you meet
democracy that is TO the democracy OF
the nation what the old guard was to the
squares of Napoleon, what Stonewal
Jackson was TO the confederacy. Gap
plause); what Pap Thomas brigade was
to the Federal forces.
May the absolute certainty that your
deliberations will be so wise and so pru-
dent that the cheers with which you will
welcome your platform will be repeated
on the evening of election day and mingle

CREDENTIALS REPORT.

The report of the committee on Gre
dentials seating Mark Cohn and P. E.
McCabe in the New York delegation, the
Clark delegation In Montana and giving
one-half Of a vote to each delegation
from Oklahoma was followed by mi
nortty report dissenting in the Oklahoma
case. There was some objection by
Murray Vandiver, from Maryland to the
committee taking no action in the Dis
trict of Columbia case. The chairman
of the committee, Mr.. Campau, answered
that there was no cause to act in the
District Of Columbia case, because it was
settled by the national committee. After
some desultory talk the chair put the
motion to adopt the committees report.
Mr.. Vandiver asked that he be allowed
to present his views and was given the
platform.
Take the platform" was shouted from
the audience "Cut it short, my FRIEND"
shouted another delegate, as Mr.. Van
diver assembled the platform. After a
brief speech i'll support of his contention
that the credentials committee had not
dealt fairly with the District of Column
bia contest, Mr.. Vandiver moved to re-
commit that part of the report to the
committee. The motion was lost amid
a chorus of noes" The report of the
committee was then adopted as reported
without further debate.
Chairman Thomas then called for the
report of the committee on permanent
organization. When it was announced
that Hon. ]. D. Richardson, of Tennes-
see, had been selected as permanent chair
man cheers swept over the great audi
ence.

The band did its share and the loot
ers of horns and the beaters of sheep
skins worked away for dear life. No
body knew what they played-nobody
cared. They were doing their full share
and that was all that was necessary.
After the excitement had continued for
fifteen minutes, Chairman Richardson
attempted to bring order out the chaos
that ruled upon the floor. Now and then
the patter of his gavel could be heard
and every time the sound reached the
ears of a delegate he shrieked the loud

such wonderful enthusiasm as has sell

vention he began to rap for order; but
the delegates were not yet ready to yield
the floor even to the chairman of the
convention The band in the gallery

continuous efforts OF Chairman Richard

continued for nine and half minutes
longer, it's total length being twenty nine

SIR ARTHUR J. BALFoUR.

The coming session of British Par
lament will probably be very inter-
esting one, and it will bring out the
strong qualities of the political
leaders of all factions. The govern
mental party has no stronger individ-
ual than Sir Arthur J. Balfour. He
has distinguished himself by his lead
ership among men as we'll as by the
strength of his arguments and
breadth of his wisdom in speaking to
the assemblies which he has address
ed. AS Lord of the Treasury he con-
Quoted his affairs in manner which
won the approval of all parties. In
the most bitter fights in Parliament, ,,
while his opponents spoke of him in
the most severe language possible
they never failed to appreciate his
excellent qualities as man and as a
party leader. He is a young man,
by comparison with many statesmen
of Great Britain, but he is one of the
most a le and conscientious IF con-
servative citizens in the whole of Eng
land, and he may be expected to look
out for the interests of the govern
ment with an ability and effective
ness which will count for much in
shaping the opinions of the British
pnblic and the measures enacted by
their Parliament.

In THE current discussion which
has taken place regarding the county
printing the award of las year has
been referred to as if sanctioned by
THR TRIBUNE. The question last year
was one of paying certain amount
to one paper for doing the work or
of paying a very little more and hav-
ing the matter published in two
papers and thereby given larger cir
culation. This was a question on
which honest men might differ, but
the method which it was rumored
was employed by the Sun to procure
the reconsideration after the award
deserves condemnation. However,
this rumor was never susceptible of
proof and in ordinary decency man
must be regarded innocent until he is
proved guilty. The case this year,
however, is one Of open violation of
common rule of business if not also
of an implied rule of law. Here,
there is no doubt of the waste of pub.
lie funds and it is the duty of all of
us, no matter how unpleasant the
task may be, to administer such a
rebuke to the implicated officials that
it shall be warning for years to
come to all who might be tempted to
do the same.

John Bull and the Lion.

What could be more absurd than the
conventional types of the nations =
those types which we see and accept
almost every day? England is pecnl
iarly unfortunate. To express our ma
tional characteristics we have a choice
of two figures. either burly farmer OF
lion. The British lion gets some lit
tie support from heraldry, and the ma
tional vanity is dattered by the anal
ogy Of our powers to those of the king
Of beasts. But otherwise how little ap
prOpriatenesS there is in representing
us by an animal which most English,
men have only seen in the degrading
captivity of a menagerie, which has
never within historical times inhabited
their islands and about which they
know almost nothing.
Considering also the chemically de,
pressed state of British agriculture il
seems an ironical thing that the Brit
ish nation should be typifed by farm
er. If he were a manufacturer or a
merchant or seaman, there would be
some appropriateness, but the stout
eighteenth century John Bull with
whom we are so familiar from allusion
and picture is being quite unknown
to us in the flesh. He is just good ex-
ample of the time honored, inaccurate,
conventional type. All vigor and sug-
gestiveness have long departed from
the figure. But we are too indolent to
replace hir.-London Globe.

A GOOD SUCCESSION was made by
Gov. Lind in his speech before the
mutual fire insurance convention in
st. Paul on Tuesday. It was that
the state and the county should carry
their own fire insurance. The state
stands in the position of large land
owner with buildings in many differ
ent localities. Such a person can
usually afford to lose building once
in while and receive there for no
insurance rather than keep up expen-
sive policies on all the buildings all
of the time. The governors sugges-
ton is that the state and counties
should each year lay aside an amount
equal to what they are now paying
in premiums and thus create a fund
in the hands of the state out of which
any losses which occur could be paid.
The plan is practical and should be
taken up by the next legislature and
provision made for putting the plan
in operation.

was standing near the door when an
unannounced visitor made her appear

with her, greeting her as he did the
other arrivals.

was Queen Bess Handsomeg

Sir Horace Walpole's description OF
the maiden queen, drawn from her
portraits and from contemporary &C
counts, is not a very attractive one
"a pale Roman nose, head Of hair
loaded with crowns and powdered with
diamonds, a vast ruff, vaster farthin-
gale and bushel of pearls are" he
says, "the features by which every
body knows at a glance the pictures
of Queen Elizabeth"
But notwithstanding that she did not
care for art and that, knowing her
lack of it, she affected to despise bod1-
ly comeliness, still she loved to multi
ply portraits Of herself. in them she
could appear really handsome" Yet
if she has been fattered in the exist
ing likenesses of her she must have
been not merely plain, but remark
ably ugly woman. Perhaps the truth
is that with the most courtiy lnten-
tons the painters Of the time did not
know how to preNaricate.

from that fact that she was fond OF
