they can vote during the thirty days be-
fore the election. The agreement has been
kept to the advantage of both parties.
Why cannot the county committees OF the
two parties in this and other counties where
this class is quite numerous, now that q
campaign is at hand, meet. discuss and
make some by which these
beggars may be held in check? Suppose
that every candidate ant committee rep
resenting both parties should keep a list
Of the names of men applying to them for
a little assistance while they were working
for the ticket, and at the end of every
week have them compared by special COM
mittees and post the names in the respec-
tive headquarters. Would not such a he
roic remedy wipe out the evil? There may
be a better method which a subcommittee
Of both parties could devise and put into
operation Men with experience in both
parties will admit that something should
be one to eliminate these disreputable
camp followers. Why not do that some
thing this month. or before the campaign
sets in in earnest?

GROWING POLITICAL EVILS.

The reason why Democrats who have a
few thousand dollars worth of property
declined to become candidates in Marion
county is the result Of the present cam
paign methods. If being a candidate sim
ply involved a sacrifice Of time during the
campaign few men qualified would refuse
TO be candidates even If they felt that they
had small chance of election. Now they
refuse because a canvass involves a con-
siderable expenditure of money. OF that
expenditure a fair assessment by the party
committee is the least. But from the day
Of nomination until the polls are closed the
candidate and committees are beset by
hundreds of political strikers, who dog the
footsteps Of candidates and crowd the ap-
proaches to committee rooms. No candi-
date has any confidence in any Of this
class. They can control but one vote. and
tina may or may not be disposed Of TO the
candidate or mi that has given him
the most money. So well known is this
d~isreputable class TO the campaign man
ayers OF both parties that if those Of one
party should see the list OF the other party

THE DAY IN DETAIL.
Immense Crowds, Elaborate Decora-
tiOns and n ForcefuI Speech.

PITTSBURG, July 4.-Half a million per-
sons greeted President Theodore Roose-
welt in Pittsburg to-day. They came, not
only from Pittsburg and Allegheny. but
from the scores Of Industrial towns within
100 miles of the city. 1t was the distin-
guished guests first visit TO Pittsburg as
President, and his welcome was most en-
thusiastic. From the Union Station to the
speakers stand in Schenley Park. nearly
four miles away, it was one continuous
cheer. The weather was all that could be
desired. with the sun shining brightly and
the temperature not too high.
President Roosevelt reached the Wilkens-
burg station of the Pennsylvania Railroad
at sos this morning. At that point, which
is within the city limits. a local reception
committee, headed by George 7. Oliver,
boarded the train. The run into Union Sta
ton consumed twenty minutes, during
which time the members of the committee
were introduced to the presidential party,
Attorney General Knox. who is a Pitts
burger. making the party acquainted.
AS the train passed S~hadyside station a
railroad signal communicated the fact that
Hampton Battery B, of the Pennsylvania
National Guard, was at Bedford avenue,
overlooking Union Station. The guns of
the battery Immediately began 10 boom
forth the Presidents salute Of twenty-one
guns. The last gun of the salute was hred
as the President stepped from his car at
Union Station. The President was then
escorted to his carriage. Those who occu-
pied the carriage with President Roosevelt
were City Recorder ]. o. Brown, United
States Attorney General p. c. Knox and
George B. Cortelyou, secretary to the
President.
The other carriages in waiting were
promptly filed by the reception committee.
The bugler of Sheridan Troop sounded the
assembly call, which was a signal for
Brigadier General Willie, commander of the
military escort. to order the movement of
the column. The marchers numbered 5000
men. representing the Eighteenth Regi-
ment. the Tenth Regiment. which saw
Philippine service; Sheridan Cavalry Troop.

pendent military organizations.
Among the prominent guests who rode in
carriages were Governor w. A. Stone. Rep

1t would be difficult to avoid discussion of
some sort over candidates in States where
but one party is permitted to exist. So, in
stead of discussing questions, candidates
are discussed in South Carolina. Senator'S
are nominated at a general primary, and
whoever is nominated is elected by the
Legislature. One of these canvasses is now
in progress. At one Of these meetings adj
dressed by six candidates Ex-Governor
Evans and Representative Latimer got
into a controversy. The latter said that
no one could put a finger on any part of
his record that did not reflect credit upon
South Carolina. Thereupon Governor
Evans presented an article by the late
Representative Stokes, in which it was de-
clared that Latimer peddled pictures in the
House, had his farm stocked with govern
ment seed and rode on and distributed
passes over railroads in violation of the
laws of the State. Latimer explained that
he had asked for a free train for Mr.. Bryan
and that he had furnished land and labor
when the secretary of agriculture desired
TO make experiments. Turning to ex-Gov
ernor Evans, he said: You have threat
ened to put plasters all over me; there are
other places for settling differences" Gov
ernor Evans replied that Latimer had
offered Stokes an annual pass over a trunk
line. And you deny this said Evans to
Latimer. May God have mercy on your
soul.' Then Latimer exclaimed: There is
not a word of truth in it," Thereupon the
meeting broke up in great excitement, and
trouble is expected. In view of the fore
going it would be better to have two par
ties and dispute over differences of opin-
ion than TO assail character.

A GREATER DAY THAN THE FOURTH.

Ii would be a national calamity for the
American people TO be deprived of the as
sociations. traditions and Inspirations that
belong to the Fourth of July, but that is
not the greatest day in our history. The
adoption of the Declaration of Independ-
ence really settled nothing beyond the
determination of the colonists to establish
an independent government if they could.
AS a PRONUNCIATION of theory and declara-
ton of intention it was a notable event,
but it took seven years Of fighting to make
it anything more than a paper declaration,
and the outcome of the struggle was in
doubt almost up TO the last moment Then
there began another and greater struggle
one to give practical expression and TO en-
body by a working form of government
the theories tentatively announced in the
Declaration. The mere independence of the
colonies was of little account without their
union under a government that should in
sure the equality of the States, the liberty
of the individual and the welfare of all
the people. The practical assurance of this
contamination was far more important and
more difficult than the PRONUNCIATION of the
Declaration of independence. The indie
pendence of the colonies without a union
of the States might and probably would
have proved a curse instead of a blessing.
The most trying period in the history of the
colonies was that between the conclusion
of peace with England and the adoption of
the Constitution that made us a Nation,
the period between 17SS and 1889. 1t was
a period of cropping, of voluntary govern
ment under the old articles of confedera-
ton, which were a mere rope of sand. 1t
was a period of drifting without any as
surance of a landing place, of chaos with
out any certainty of stable government.
The adoption of the Declaration of indie
pendence was a mere matter of voting;
the seven years Of fighting that followed
were years that tried mems souls; the
six years of no government that followed
the conclusion of the war were years of
arkness and doubt, but the evolution of
the whole business and the crowning of
the work came in the final adoption of
the Constitution. That was a greater day
than the Fourth of July-the greatest day
in our history or in the history Of the
world.

Senator Vest, reviewing the political sit
uation, says the Republicans have had
pretty much their own way in Congress
and that lit is useless to protest against the
Philippine policy now In other words,
the time for making an issue of the Phil
ippine policy is past. AS to the future the
Missouri senator says: If the Republicans
can continue the high pressure of the boom
which has given greater prices to our man
ufacturers and farmers and caused an
amount OF circulation of money in this
country hitherto unparalleled. they will
carry the next presidential election" From
this it appears the senator thinks nothing
can save the Democratic party. except a
financial revulsion.

The President received a most enthusi-

address on the occasion was characteristic
in that he spoke Of practical affairs. He
makes no apology for what we did for
Cuba or because we have taken possession
Of the Philippines. Because he referred TO
these matters the representative may com
plain. but that is TO be expected and will
excite no surprise. 1t is also well that the
President urges the necessity of a recip-
rocal trade arrangement with Cuba.
