THE DOOM OF DEyERY.

The action of the Saratoga Convention
in excluding Big Bill Devery and his dele
cation from its membership is approved
by Democrats throughout the country.
DeFery was for long time an officer of
police, and for some time chief of the
force in New York city, and from being
a poor man became a millionaire. That
his methods for acquiring wealth were
not commendabe we may well believe.
The best that can be said for him in that
connection is that he made friends of
influential business men who let him in
ION the ground floor and enabled him to
make excellent investments. But why
should those business men have been SO
much interested in Devery? He is a big,
bluff, rough fellow, whose personality is
not likely to recommend him to favor.
Having been put off the force, he re-
solved to become a power in city politics,
and has spent his money lavishly of late.
In his effort to be elected to Tammany
Hall he gave picnics and excursions
which cost him thousands of dollars. TO
be elected to the Saratoga Convention he
resorted to despicable practices, if the
charges made against him are true, and
they were SO well sustained at Saratoga
that the convention refused seats to hin:
and his associates. The contestants
shared the same fate. There was so much
corruption and irregularity on both sides
that the seats were declared vacant, which
was the most that the opposition hoped
for.
Deyery was in furious temper at first
and denounced David B. Hill and the
other leaders of the convention roundly,
but later on he cooled down and said he
would support the ticket nominated. Big
Bill returned to New York in the special
train he had hired, q sadder If not
wiser man. AS for the Democrats OF
New York city, they cannot hope to regain
power unless they put men of the Devery
type in the rear rank and select as
leaders those whose character and abil-
ity entitle them to the respect of the
community.

REGISTRATION HERE.

In the matter Of registration under the
provisions of the new Constitution Rich
mond has done very well. AS the books
stand, the whites cutnumber the negroes
ten to one.
The old registration books had not been
thoroughly revised in a long time, and
on them are the names Of many voters
who have moved away and of some who
are dead. So the difference in the num-
Der of white voters on the new and old
books does not afford an accurate basis
Of comparison.
We regret that any white men entitled
to vote here failed to register, but it will
probably be more unfortunate for them
than for the party: certainly it must
be admitted that the newspapers did
their duty nobly in urging voters to
register. All qualified persons who have
been omitted will now have to wait until
the registration in 1903.

the former would likely prove more lar
reaching than that of the latter. 1t woulo

such precedent once established what
would be the limit of the possibility or
Federal ownership and operation OF great
enterprises. and where the end of pater-
naiism, and popular dependence on the
national government?
1t is earnestly to be desired that the
declaration for national ownership and
control OF the Pennsylvania mines vii!
play no serious part in the Democratic
canvass in New York. Aside from its be-
ing inherently undemocratic, if pressed it
will afford the Republicans a stick with
which to break the Democratic head in
the State. This view is sustained by the
account to which the Republican New
York Tribune seeks to turn j. in charac-
terizing it as "a declaration for the IN
vasIon OF Pennsylvania by the United
States Government, and in that papers
ill-concealed exu..ation that it was made.
So We say it would be well for the New
York Democracy to confess their folly by
dropping the matter. To agtate it would
be to give hostages 10 their opponents.
Their platform embraces plenty of
safe and promising issues on which to
fight, but even were ti..s not true it woulo
be unjustifiable and unwise to have re-
course to the vicious and sef-stultifyinS

DROP 1T.

II is to be regretted that the New York
otherwise strong and sound platform by
injecting into it the virus Of paternalism.
This they did in their declaration in
favor of national ownership and opera
ton of the anthrac cite coal mines. That
plank in the platform is contradiction
liverance and travesty upon the funda-
mental principles of Democracy. Even
In the excited state OF the public mind
over the coal situation, there is evidence
that it sticks in the throat of the Demo
cratic and Independent Democratic press,
and is not swallowed without gulp and
grimace. The New York World gags at
Y in the remark that IL is an inconsiderate
and hasty utterancc rejecting just public
indignation at the national menace of the
GOAL famine. but the crisis. though acute
md alarming al the moment, must be
iransitory and does not warrant the in
location cf SO radical remedy And the
New York Times refers to it as operstep-
ping wise bounds, although our con-
temporary thinks that the coal operators
might have expected some such demand
as the result of their policy.
Let us hope that these papers furnish
the explanation of the declaration. which
is so foreign to true Democracy. and the
teachings of its fathezzy. That is to say.
let Us hope that it was not fully digest
I'd and was but spasmodic response to
public sentiment engendered by excep-
aonal conditions.
II that is not the case the New York
Democracy would incorporate in the

Cor the Dispatch.)
I sweetly dreamed the other night,
I was safe at home once more,
Gladly revelling In the sunshine bright,
OF my dear old native shore.
Returned from a far distant land,
With the golden lustre of fame
Shedding as with magic's wand
Glory's bright halo around my name.
found my cozy home just the same
AS when left two years ago,
And the dear loved ones all came
To greet me with welcomes glow.
The many friends pressed so near
My heart We're sweeter than of old,
Absence had made us more dear
And proved us as true as gold
Fame however great never sends
A thrill through the hearts of men
Like the joy of meeting old friends
In that elysium Of love Home again

Referring to possible results of the coal

Referring to possible results of the coal
strike, the Pittsburg Dispatch says:
The bitterness of it is that these con-
sequences will be inflicted not by some
convulsion of nature beyond human con-
troll, but by the arbitrariness and stu
pidity of human organization. The very
concentration of capital and labor which
has been eulogized as the sum OF COM
mercal efficiency is proved in this case
to possess the germ Of heretofore uncon-
ceived incapaciIy. Never under the COM
petitive system was such a situation
possible. 1t required the combination of
all the capital on one side and all the
labor on the other to confront the innocent
consumers with suffering from the fail
ure of the twentieth century flower of
combined energies to do the work that
competition does without cessation
This seems to present the trust prin-
cple in its true light, without verbosity.
