Deserves Success,

There is an interesting movement on foot
in Paterson, N. j., which is being watched
with a great deal of interest all over the
country. That 1t may meet with success is
the earnest hope of every one who has the
industrial welfare Of that enterprising city
at heart.
Some time ago tho man who holds the
controlling interest in the Rogers locomo-
tive works, one Of the largest institutions
of the sort in the world, announced that
the works would be closed down as soon
all orders on hand are filled. This was
to be done not because the works are being
run at loss. On the contrary. the bust
ness is very profitable one. His reason Is
that the works are not up to date in the
matter of equipment, and that to make all
the desired improvements would require a
much larger outlay Of capital than he feels
warranted in making at his time of life.
The shutting down Of this enterprise
would be a serious blow to the city Of
Paterson. for 1t gives employment to con-
siderably over a thousand men, and the
payroll is a big one The enterprising citi-
zens Of Paterson have taken the matter in
hand and hope to be able to continue the
business at a profit. Wealthy and public
spirited men have interested themselves in
the matter, and the chances are now that
the whole business will be taken over by a
stock company, in which there will be a
large number of comparatively small stock
holders. The present head of the concern
has agreed to make the terms unusually
light, and does not require the payment to
him of any sum In cash. All money raised
Is to be used for the improvement of the
plant. while he will accept bonds of the
company. 1t is said that 100000 will suf-
flee. and the people of Paterson are conf
dent that they will succeed in raising that
amount. 1t is to be hoped that they will,
and that the experiment will be a success
in every way. for they have shown COM
mendable public spirit as well as business
enterprise.

A COlored Democrat.

The Star prints today some observations
by a man Of color on the duty in the present
campaign Of the voters of his race VINO
live in states where they are permitted to
exercise the right Of suffrage. His idea
Is that they should ally themselves with
the democratic party, and he gives the
reasons which are controlling him in the
premises. The communication is in reply to
an editorial which appeared In The Star OF
Wednesday.
Mr.. Saton frankly avows that he has
despaired of the republican party. He
quotes from several of its national plat
forms on the subject Of civil and political
liberty, and points to the condition Of the
colored man in the south proof of the
worthlessness of the partys promises. 1t
cannot or will not redeem them, and as a
punishment he advises the colored man in
the north to vote for Mr.. Bryan. This. he
admits, will not help his colored brother
in the south. but 1t may assist in giving
freedom to the Filipinos on the other side
Of the world! That is to say, the black
men of the United States by assisting to
make Mr.. Bryan President may rivet the
political shackles on their own people the
tighter. but they will have the satisfaction
Of knowing that they have conferred
blessing on the brown mon in the Philip
pines
Magnificent, but not war. Altruism, but
not politics. What leads Mr.. Slaton to
feel that to Mr.. Bryan and his friends
should be committed the task of giving
freedom to the Ftlipinos? The fact that
the Kansas City convention Endorsed the
Declaration Of Independence. and that Sen
ator Tillman read the platform from the
stage, and emphasized with a smile his
face the statement that all men are created
free and equal? Is the party which thus
makes mockery of that glorious instrument,
and nullifies the Constitution against the
black man in the United States, the party
which the black man should wish to see re-
sponsible for the fate Of the brown man In
the Philippines?
1t Is but fair to note that, by his own con-
fess!on, Mr.. Slaton has been giving more
time of late to tie Bible than to political
platforms But when he quotes the Savior
advising the faithful to cultivate the
unrghteous. as in the nature of casting an
anchor to windward, one is tempted to sug
gest that he is about as misty on Scripture
on politics.

Mr.. Bryan in Maryland.

At last, At last, Barred out Of the state
for the past four years. his leadership re-
GREETED and his principles derided; the cam
paigns Of two years ago and OF last year
made with studied silence as to everything
for which he was Standing. Mr.. Bryan. still

Cago platform, Is going to Maryland to give
his party boost and start the ball rolling.
1t is notable triumph for him. and he is
entitled to congratulations on the subject.
At the same time 1t must be admitted that
the arrangements are not in every particu-
lar what they should be. There Is bit of
indirection about them which hardly COM
ports with the occasion. An outsider seems
to have made them. Why should they have
been left to Mr.. McSraw of West Virginia?
Why did not some Maryland leader take the
matter in hand, and engineer the trip and
make himself responsible for a maneuver
SO noteworthy and 50 Interestingly 1t was
fortunate, Of course, to have a nsighbor SO

McGraw. but as the Maryland democrats

did they not Of their own initiative take

United States In the Lead.

Germany has been making great indus
trial conquests in the past quarter of a
century, but the number Of prizes which
she carried of in the Paris exposition. al
though greater than those Of any other
outside country, are less than half of those
gained by the United States exhibitors. Not
only does American supremacy extend to
all the mechanical industries, but 1t makes
itself felt in the department Of art also,
where the prizes granted to Americans far
surpass those won by any other people ex-
cept the French themselves 1t is evident
that the age when America, after con-
quering the continent. would give some at
tention to the aesthetic side Of life has
come. 1t still excels in the unitarian
arena. but 1t is achieving triumphs also in
the purely ornamental and artistic field.
The $500 prizes which citizens Of the
United States have carried off in the face
Of the competition of the entire world at
Paris Is an impressive illustration of the
Intelligence. the adaptability, the resource
fulness and the many-sidedness Of the
American people.

1t 10 not generally known that the judi-
cial branch Of the government Yields a
power In many respects greater than that
Of the executive or legislative department,
or both together. That Mr.. Bryan, should
he be the next President. would have the
appointment Of one or more supreme JUS
tees is altogether probable. That he would
appoint men imbued with his own ideas
goes without saying. What a Organized
court would be able to DO Is shown by the
vast power which the judges of that tri-
bunal may WELD. 1t might sweep away
the constitutional barrier to a populistic In
come tax. 1t might abolish what Mr..
Bryan and his followers have so loudly de-
nounced as government by Injunction"
1t might import into the Constitution and
the laws OF the United States the financial
fallacies Of the silverites and the govern
mental vagaries Of the populists. There is
no telling what it might not do.
From all this 1t must be obvious that q
Bryanized Supreme Court, feared by
Messrs Edmunds, Hoar and others, Is not
a mere visionary danger.

Every day come more and more remark
