THE DEMOCRACY CONFIDENT.

The newspapers that fought b1r.
Bryan and the Democratic party most
bitterly in 1896 continue to be most
prolific in advice to Democrats as to
the course they should follow and the
candidates they should name when the
national convention assemblies in Kan
sas City on July the 4th. Thus the
Philadelphia Times declares that the
"ablest Democratic Journals and lead
ers'' refused to support Mr.. Bryan be-
fore and will refuse to support him
this year il he be named again, and
continues:
eff there is a Democratic party they
must place 1t above the interest and
ambition of any man. Under the most
favorable conditions the chances would
be against Democratic success with the
present outlook, and If there is to be Il
hopeful battle fought this year for the
Democracy. or a hopeful Democratic
party for the future, the next national
convention must decide that Demo-
cracy, and not Organism, inspires the
Democratic people to battle for their
cause and their flag
There is not, we believe, any doubt
that there is q strong, healthy and
growing Democratic party. Equally
there is not the smallest chance that
this party will heed the gratuitous adj
vice of the very liable journals and
leaders" who bolted the party in 1896.
and yet have the supreme assurance to
set themselves the task of writing a
platform and selecting leaders for that
party in 1900.
Nor. these things apart, would the
party be likely to entrust itself to the
hands of leaders who start out with the
assertion that they expect to be
whipped. Leaders of that sort have al
most invariably had their expectations
gratifled to the limit In truth. the
matter stands that the chances of
Democratic victory have never been
brighter than this year Disguised
with the evcr-growing servility of the
Republican party to corporate interests.

TAKING CARE OF THE PEOPLE

Our local morning contemporary of
yesterday. after congratulating itself
upon it's remarkable acuteness is dis
covering secret circular, proceeds to
say with regard to the proposed consti-
tutional conventions:
THE idea is that If the party conven-
ton can be kept from pronouncing in
favor of constitutional revision, the
Democratic people will. like dumb
driven cattle. cast their ballots against
the proposition"
When did our contemporary become
qualified to speak for the Democratic
people?" According to the ruling of
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittec. that they who supported Palmer
and Buckner, or Mckinley. in 1896 are
not entitled to participate in Demo-
cratic primaries and convention. our
contemporary has neither footing nor
rights in the Democratic party. Truly
this tender solictude for the Demo
cratic people" on the part of a news
paper that kept punic faith with them
in 1896 is touching to the verge OF tears.
It must be of the opinion that the SEN
sible. Independent and responsible
voters. whom it is pleased to describe
as dumb, driven cattle" have short
memories.
While we are aware that II is risky
TO concede any thing in that particular.
we will stretch point and give our
contemporary the credit for knowing
that any amendment or amendments to
the State Constitution adopted by the
proposed constitutional convention arc
not required by the law to be submitted
to the people for ratification at the
polls. Does it believe that an oppor-
tunity would be given the electors to
or rejeet-tlse-actiOn of the-eaR-
vention? If the Democratic party Is to
be pledged to call a convention to alter
The constitution is ii in favor OF a
further pledge that whatever change OIL
amendment the convention shall make
in the constitution shall be submitted
to. a popular vote for approval or re-
lection? We want to know whether II
does or does not want the people tc
have any say mt all in the matter. II
It does not believe that the people
should have the final word in the prem
ises, 1t is difficult to see what pretenee
of right II can have to speak for them
or for any save those who followed its
-'bolt" of the Democratic party -four
years ago.
The people of this State are MOI
"dumb, driven cattle" and any attempt
to make them such has not been a graf.
flying success in the past. There is nc
reason to believe that the scheme OF {
cut and dried constitutional convention
will be able to work the change at thi.
late day.

THE SIDEWALK ORDINANCE.

| The Virginian-Pilot is pleased to note
the prompt action on the part of the
Councils IN arranging for sidewalks.
1t is the plan advocated by this paper
for some time past.
The sidewalks are to be first paved
by the city at the expense of the abut-
ting owner. and afterwards to be kept
in repair by the city at the expense of
the city. The material and manner of
| construction are to be designated by
the city.
One of the good features OF the pro-
posed ordinance is the construction of
the original, or first pavement by the
city but requiring the abutting owner
to pay for the work This will secure
uniformity in construction and enable
| the city to commence work at once,
wherever 1t desires and the Councils
sec fit, the work being a lien upon the
abutting lot. Let the work commence
manner in which n lien can be Gre
ated upon lot for paving done in
front thereof. and the Supreme Court
has about gone over the entire ground
in the trial of cases before it involving
street paving claims. hence there can
be little doubtful law left.
Congratulating the committee, there
fore, upon it's good and prompt work.
the Virginian-Pilot wishes it to speed
its work along to a final success, in or
der that the city may put on it's new
spring suit in good time. People will
hail with delight the coming of that
day, when sidewalks are useful and or
namental. instead of an eyesore and
impeachment, and dangerous to life and
limb.

There was an incident at Philadel-
phia this week that served admirably
to bring out the beauties of ship sub
sidy laws. An italian ship, the Venus
of 2.64l tons, came into port with a to-
tai cargo of five tons of chalk, valued
at $50. The italian subsidy is twenty
cents per ton OF THE VESSELS CA
PACITY for each thousand miles
of the voyage. AS the Venus had
steamed 1000 miles. she received from
the Italian Government s2,112 for
bringing over cargo worth $50. If an
italian seaman can make that out of
ship subsidy law, what would a
shrewd Yankee make?
