THE POLITICAL DRIFT.

The democratic party is fast be-
coming party without any fixed
principles. Being the minority
party of the nation, it has developed
an extraordinary aptitude to make
unseemly alliances, regardless of the
sacrifice of principle, in order to in
crease its voting strength. The in
variable result of this policy has
been to weaken it as a political or
ganization. 1t advertises the party
as seeker after patronage and
power, and not an organization rep
resenting ideas which its adherents
believe are essential to the welfare
of the nation. So pronounced has
been this sacrifice of principle for
expediency, that old line democrats
of national reputation are leaving
the party in disgust. 1t is now an
nounced that Abram S. Hewitt,
hitherto staunch democrat, who
has been honored with high office in
the party, having been a member of
congress for many years, chairman
of the democratic national committee
in 1876, and later mayor of New
York, is no longer identified with
democracy. He says: 81 don't be-
long to the democratic party as it
is now organized. l voted for Nc
Kinley both times. l could no longer
abide the choice of the party with
which 1 had been associated" 1t
was its coalition with the populists
that caused old-line democrats of the
Hewitt type to repudiate the bar
gain and sale tendency of the party.
The populists party is now dead.
Its demise has left the democracy
weaker in numbers and influence
than ever before. 1t is now survey
ing the political field for other COM
binations calculated to draw voters
to its ranks. The labor organiza-
tions throughout the country have
the votes, and with these democracy
is coquetting with the view of Join
ing forces for the presidential battle
of 1904. This sort of combination
was successful in electing two con-
gressmen in San Francisco. The
Examiner and other papers are
hosting the name of W. R. Hearst
as the logical candidate for presi-
dent. Should the program be
carried out, it will present spect-
acle of anomaly never before equal
ed even by the wobbly democracy.
Every law passed by the national
legislature in the interest of the
working-class, has reached its place
on the statute books in face of the
opposition of the democratic party.
The party has championed slave
labor, and fought for its retention.
In every state in the union where
the democrats are in power, wages
are lower than in republican states.
In the solid south, all classes of toll
ers receive less compensation than
in the northern states. But it is in
the republican states of the north,
that labor organizations are power
full; and it is in these states that
democracy must make headway in
order to carry the presidential cleo
tion. 1t is therefore posing as the
friend of the laboring man. Whether
the labor unions will bite at the bait
remains to be seen. Should such an
alliance be formed, it is very i'm
probable that it will add any voting
strength to the democrats. 1t will
be far more likely to still further
split the democracy, and also divide
the labor unions into rival political
factions.

BIG STRIKE IN BOSTON.
Fully 10000 Men to Go Out in synpa.
thy-WiH MOI Handle Non-Union
FREIGHT for the Railroads.

Boston, March 1O.-Ten thousand
men. transfers, freight clerks, freight
handlers and lo~ngshOremen. will 60 on
strike in sympathy with 100 freight
handlers OF the New Haven railroad,
who went out last night rather than
handle ''scab' freight. The movement
Is the direct outcome of the strike. OF
the teamsters of the X. $. Brine Trans
portation Company.
1t has been only by advice of thei.
officers that the freight handlers have
beer kept at work. They have been
threatening to strike for some time.
They did not van to handle the goods
of the X. =. Brine company, and said
so. They oOk of the loads of he
other master transfers without trou-
BILE, but when 1t came to helping the
n%On-union teamsters there was trou-
BILE.
The New York Central road has had
in force for some time an order that
the teamsters should see to the unload
ing of goods themselves, and not have
hat part of the work done by the
freight handlers. In this manner the
men have been compelled to handle
the goods delivered at the freight
houses by the X. $. Brine company.
But, in spite of this, they voted to-
night TO strike in sympathy with the
New Haven men. The outlook is most
gloomy,

still Riotlna at Norfolk.

Norfolk. Va, March lO.-From pres
ent indications the strike is by no
means over. II is very probable that
the strikers Will not accept the terms
of settlement named by the arbitra-
tion committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce last night. The main objec-
tion Of the strikers Is that they are
required to work with n%on-union men;
only eighty-five per cent will be re-
employed, n they must sign the
surety bond. The cars ran to-day I'M
der the military guard, and the guard
was doubled tonight. The riot of last
night was the f~iercest since the strike
started and several soldiers and clti
ms were injured.
