Contrary to expectation ex-senator Hill
controlled the State convention of the
New York Democrats. and 1t was run
In accordance with his notions. Hill
is far from an ideal statesman, but he
is an improvement on Croker, and a
party is likely to be run on little higher
plane by him than by the Tammany boss.
it mustD be obvious that the elevation
of the New York Democrats by Hills
control OF the convention was very slight
The Organizes got all the substance at
the convention. They got an endorse
met of their favorite and they got a
pledge that the New York Democrats
would stand by the platform adopted at
Kansas City. That they failed to get a
specific reafflrmation of the
platform OF 1896, In view of
the fact that they got an endorsement of
the embodiment of it in the shape of Mr..
Bryan, and promise to stand by 1t If
re-adopted, as 1t surely will be, is Of little
consequence. To be sure the delegation
was not instructed for Bryan, but 1t is
as thoroughly bound by the resolutions
to vote for Bryan as it could have been
by instructions.

Reports from China are OF course TO be
taken with caution, but IL 1t be true as
reported, that the Empress Dowager has
taken sides with the Boxers. then the
time Is not far distant when the powers
will have TO interfere in earnest. The
purpose Of the Boxers Is to drive out all
the foreign DEVILS" and II the reigning
dynasty is ready to assist them, then a
crisis Is at hand which will brook
no delay. Once the interference of the
powers begins in earnest 1t will not In
all probability end until China is prac-
ticaliy dismembered and parcelled out
among them. 1t cannot but be regarded
as unfortunate that this crisis has arisen
or is close at hand while only Russia, of
the European powers, has any consider
able body Of troops near the scene Of dis
order. While they all have more or less
ships in the vicinity, Russia alone could
operate upon the land to any large ex
tent. In Manchuria she has over 100, 900
troops and these she could easily bring TO
the scene Of the trouble. This would give
her great advantage and one that she
would not fail to make full use Of. Al
ready the London Times has taken alarm
at the situation and Is earnestly advisi ng
the government to take the lead in any
action which may be needed in China
This unfortunately 1t Is much less pre-
pared to do than Russia. OF course If thu
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the empire comes the
United States cannot sit by as an idle

How thoroughly saturated the Maine
Democrats are with the views Of Bryan
Ism is made apparent by the last resolu-
ton adopted by the Democratic conven-

lows:
And we urge our delegates to support
such principles and measures as are con-
sistent with the attitude of Mr.. Bryan
and in full ACCORD with his views.
Anything that Bryan asks they are
ready to give him-no questions asked.
The platform is to be made and every
thing run in full accordance with his

CURRENT COMMENT.
SYMPATHY AND LAW.


fFrom the st. Louis Globe Democrat. J.
1t is important not to get matters
mixed In considering the strike situation
In st. Louis There has been much said
concerning sympathy. That subject is
not under consideration. The question
at issue is whether the laws shall be en-
forced or defied whether life and property
shall he protected or subject to the will
of ruffians; whether there shall be public
order or a reign OF the mob.
IL the sympathy talked about meant
an alliance of the vicious elements TO
trample upon the statutes Of the nation,
state and city, decent society would
instantly organize to1defend itself. SYM
pathy with lawIessness Is the brigand
spirit, and no civilized country on earth
tolerates it. Nor Is a halfway or furtive
violation OF law essentially different in
any respect. It must be put down in
the same way and with the same vigor
before the controversy that excftes IL can
90 to proper trial.
For more than three weeks there has
been In this city daily record Of vi0-
Ience and Undertaking far beyond the
ordinary limitations of crime. Yet there
Is q general disclaimer OF any intent TO
break the peace or to substitute the rule
of the mob for that Of constituted author
ity. 1t is high time to look after those
who are talking one way and acting an
other.
The regular police has been strongly
REINFORCED. The governor states that he
will call out the militia II necessary,
and further steps will be taken according
to requirements. st. Louis Is deter
mined that law shall prevail and without
delay. The sympathy that is not for
public order is against it. and until this Is

THE OREGON ELECTION

Republicans win be fully justified in

tory for the party was sweeping one-a
large majority for the State ticket, the
election OF both Representatives In Con-
gress also by good majorities, and the
choice Of a legislature which will elect a
Republican to the United States Senate.
The contrast with the corresponding cleo
ton four years ago Is very sharp; In 1874
one Republican candidate for Congress
had only 37S plurality, and the other but
63, while If the Democrats and Populists
had combined their votes, they would
have secured not only both seats in the
house Of Representatives, but also the
judgeship, which was at stake ON the
State vote, by over 1000. This year flu
sion was effected, and the result Is the
overwhelming defeat Of the allied forces
