perfume for the bringing together of
Democrats throughout the country for
the purpose of reviving the interest Of
the people in the fundamental doctrine
upon which our Democratic government
was founded
1t furthermore embodies certain ex-
tracts from Washington's farewell ad-
dress, and from the first inaugural of
President Jefferson, which in the present
crisis attending constitutional govern
ment on this continent must profoundly
impress the Judgment and stir the pa
triotic sentiment of every man to whom
the invitation is addressed.
The occasion thus called into existence
by the Manhattan club may be effective
in producing the results to which every
Democrat has been looking forward with
hope and expectation. The time of dis
sension and distrust has passed, and the
time for union and harmony of thought
and action among Democrats is the pres
ent. 1t only needs the men and the oc-
casion to give practical shape and direc-
ton to the necessary movement
Wherever Democrats have met for the
practical work of political life during the
past year the spirit of mutual good will
has shown itself. The masses simply
await such direction from their leaders
as will enable them once more to meet
in united councils for the defense of
constitutional principles against the ex-
listing imperiaIist conspiracy.

NO PRESENTy FoB pRrsTnt

NO PRESENTS FOR PRESIDENTS.
1t is a sensible provision of the law of
the land which prevents the president
from receiving presents from foreigners
of high or low degree. Not that there is
any disrespect intended for the would-be
donors. The spirit which almost untver-
sally prompts such offerings is one alto
gether commendable. But the exchange
of costly presents between rulers is a dis
tinctly monarchial one. and is sort Of
thing without place in the republic.
Presidents of the United States are well
taken care of by the people. The salary,
$4,000 a year and all living expenses, is
ample for the occupant Of the station.
And if by reason of misfortune later in
life an ex-president should need further
evidence of the nations gratitude for
those who have done well by her, it would
not be long delayed
An occupant of the presidential office
should not use his high position for per-
sonal ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Costly presents
would be showered upon him by those who
would hope and expect reciprocal favors
from him if he accepted their largesse,
and thus many a scandal would be de-
veloped. Of scandals we have enough
and to spare, as it is, and any policy cal
culated to increase them is to be frowned
down promptly.
OF course the acceptance by President
Roosevelt of a sword from Prince Henry
would not have any effect on our inter-
national policy, but it would be a prece-
dent to the giving and receiving of pres
ents from foreign countries which might
lead TO embarrassments in the future.
There would be a very decided popular
objection to the president receiving a
present Of any kind from foreign coun-
try's representative under conditions

GETTING TOGETHER

The Democrats of the country have
waited patiently to see some positive
steps taken to bring together the repre-
Sentatives of the contending views of par
ty policy which have prevailed during
the past five or six years. 1t was an
nounced that steps were being taken to
accomplish that end and to determine
on some line of party conduct which
would be generally acceptable to Demo-
Gratis and would afford an opportunity to
bring them into active cooperation.
Nothing has been done, and, apparently.
nothing has been attempted along that
line save by the congressional caucus
recently held at Washington.
The present time is suspicious The
part borne by the representatives Of the
minority in the senate in the
prevailing debates in that body
within the past few days has given
courage to every jealous Democrat in the
country, and has aroused the enthusiasm
of a fair proportion of the people who
desire to see an active warfare waged
against Imperialism and militarisn. If
the Democrats of the house would take
a leaf out of the book of their Democratic
brethren in the senate 1t would be well
If. MIR. Richardson, who seems utterly
inept in the character of leader. wonId
step down and out it would be still bet
ter.
The recent invitation addressed to its
nonresident members by the Manhattan
club Of New York is an encoura gtne ex-
preston of the prevailing sentiment
among Democrats. That body cannot he
regarded as, in any sense a factional
organization. 1t embraces Democrats of
all lines Of opinion on the dividing issues
and has not identified itself with any one
OF the opposing views. The invitation is
accompanied by the following explana-
tory resolution, passed by the board of
managers Of the club:
whereas. The Manhattan club was
formed nj a critical period Of our coun-
try's history to advance Democratic
principles; and, whereas, many of the
policies Of the Republican party today
are subversive OF those principles; and,
whereas, tire clubs nonresident member

about ten city lots. 1t was sold by the
Central Realty Bond & Trust company,

Democratic Club as PIutOcrat-
The Democratic club, as a result of fol-
lowing the advice of Richard Croker,
promises soon to rank among the most
successful ney-making institutions of
the metropolis. The club, with an invest
ment of about $685.. 600, stands to earn
profits of $4,000 to 100000 year over all
expenses. Mr.. Croker derived more per-
anything else he learned during his last
sojourn in New York.
French Cooks Ball
A feature of the French cooks ball, to
be given in Madison Square garden on
Feb. 4, is an exhibition of artistic cult
nary creations which is to be given before
the dance. The leading French chefs OF
the city will compete for the prize. The
proceeds of the ball will go to the
widows and orphans fund Of the Societe
Culinaire Philanthropique.
Another Gigantic Combination
Wall street believe that a gigantic COM
bination of corporations having public
franchises is being slowly, carefully, Sc
cretly planned. These men are almost
convinced that the Metropolitan street
railway, the Rapid Transit tunnel the
Manhattan Elevated railway, the Brook
Ign Rapid Transit company and the Con-
solidated & Brooklyn Union Gas COM
panies will finally be in the hands of one
will be finally under one control; not
next year or the next perhaps, but
eventually.
In these quiet plans for a huge COM
bination thoughtful men see the real rea-
son for the recent great strength of Met
ropolitan railway stock, of which the
insiders in the company have been heavy
buyers. Persistent rumor now has it that
the Metropolitan will raise not 1900, 000
but $4,000 00O by an issue of bonds by one
of it's subsidiary companies, and that a
new company is to be formed that is
to lease the Metropolitan railway, guar
anteeing the per cent which it now pays
and also to acquire control of the CON-
pany with $25 100000 lately formed by
August Belmont, to operate the Rapid
Transit company.
Syndicate Buys City Island
City Island real estate to the amount

This heavy investment is directly con-
nected with the development of the New
York & Port Chester railroad system,
which, as planned, VIII be pushed
through to the Connecticut state line,
and ultimately to Boston. August Bel
mont and the capitalists interested with
him own the City Island Street railway
which will be equipped as an electric

twice the territory in the Borough of

miles Of macadamized road that he
knew they were in bad condition, but
that he was afraid that the proposed

them to do all that ought to be done in
that borough.

THE REPUB11CAg oPPoRr UNITY

L
1t is rarely that any political organiza-
ton is offered the opportunity which now
confronts the Republican party in this
community in selecting it's candidate for
mayor. Thus far the efforts of Republic
ans in that behalf have not been attend
ed by the most satisfactory results. But
the opportunity is at hand if they desire
to allay the spirit of party and personal
faction which is eating out the party
vitals on the very eve Of an important
city election. The candidacy Of Mr.. John
Jay Leighton for the mayoralty nomina-
ton offers them the opportunity. 1t is
one that once lost can never be regained.
It may be objected by the purely. selfish
politicians of the party-who are, of
course, numerically so small as to be
almost incapable Of enumeratfon-that
Mr.. Leighton has not had any experience
in practical politics. But as against this it
is to be said that Mr.. Leighton is a man
of culture and reformer. These are the
two great requirements, or they should
be, with a political organization whose
members are engaged in practical politics
wholly and alone for the promotion Of
the interests of the taxpayers and the
future welfare of the community.
Mr.. Leighton's platform is an admirable
one. 7 o b e has done it's Repub-
lican readers the especial service of re-
producing it in full, fearful that from one
consideration or other Mr.. Leighton's
party organs would not do So Here we
have space only for a brief extract from
the document. The extract which we
think is most expressive in brief form
of the purpose of this latest Republican
candidate and is most in consonance with
the avowed purpose of the practical poll
ticians of the party in ST. Paul is as fol-
lows:
EST. Paul is now making history, and
it only takes sound Republican princi-
pies to keep her going onward and up
ward. I love honorable principles-the
kind I was taught in a little red school
house. TfTis alone has prompted me to
make this effort, which is backed up by
the men Who oil the machinery and pull
the load
It will be thus seen that Mr.. Leighton
is the representative at once of virtue
and labor-the twin products Of our cher
ished national institution-the little red
school house.
This is essentially the kind of man that
the Republican gentlemen have been IN
diligent search of for so long Let them
discontinue further search. The man and
the opportunity are here. Let them nom
mate Mr.. Leighton. We warrant them
that the Democratic people Of this town
will place in the field as Mr.. Leighton's
opponent that splendid specimen of
Democratic virtue and public spirit
Mayor Smith. And when the issues are
joined between Robert Smith and John
Jay Leighton, there will be such blows
struck for virtue and reform on both
sides, as will cause every true reformer,
whether Democrat or Republican, to cry
out with Macbeth of old: 'Lay on, Mac
duff, and damned be he who cries Hold,
enough"

Anal gamated Copper Rumors-
The refusal of the United Metals Sell

pletion of plans for a reduction of out

REFoRM1NG THE ~pooB MAy.y

Reforming THE "POOR MAN"
1t is very amusing to those who have
any knowledge of the habits of the
masses in American cities to read some
of the pleas put forward by the pro-
fessional reformers in favor of a more
liberal Interpretation of the Sunday
liquor laws.
The situation which confronts Mayor
Low in New York is very instructive to
students of urban social and political
life. Ne one of intelligence whose pref
udices do not render him blind to
actual conditions can ever hope to Who'll
ly prevent the consumption of liquor on
Sunday. This fact seems to be thor
oughly understood by Mayor Low and his
political advisers. They are accordingly
trying to devise some scheme by which
they may permit the saloons to remain
open on the Sabbath without destroying
their political interests.
In the difficult situation which thus
confronts them they are trying to find
excuse for their refusal to suppress the
Sunday liquor traffic, and certain class
Of them have hit on what they term
''the poor man. his rights and interests,
as the medium through which they can
carry out their Sunday side door policy.
They are accordingly putting forward as
their main contention that 'the poor
man" must not be deprived of his beer
on Sunday any more than on any other
day, especially while ''the rich man"
continues able, through his club, to
supply himself with liquor even to ex-
cess if he chooses.
The poor man" has, as matter of
fact, little or nothing to do with the
ordinary citizen comes under the desig-
nation of 1.-The poor man" The ordinary
man who drinks is not poor. He will
be found on inquiry, to be really in ex-
ceedingly good circumstances. He has
a comfortable home. He meets his daily
obligations, fulflls all his duties as a
ClllLoH, anu Is as jealous OIL HIS SOOQ
name as the most Jealous reformer OF
them all.
This cheap form of humanitarianism
has always gone far with the masses in
causing them to look upon reform move
ments with contempt and ridicule. Mayor
Low was shrewd enough to realize at the
outset how far removed from the SYM
pathy and judgment of the masses was
the movement Of which he was the head,
and the efforts of such men as he and
Mr.. Jerome were accordingly constantly
directed throughout the campaign against
Tammany toward minimizing that sen
timent. The present controversy of the
mayor with DR.. Parkhurst and his soci-
ETY. shows what little permanent progress
has been made in that direction. The
poor man. whom they concert them
selves so anxiously about, readily real
ICES that he is, according to their view,
little better than an object on whom
to experiment in their absurd efforts at
social and political betterment.
