GETTING TOGETHER.

Mr.. v. n Thomas, Editor Sun, Fulton No.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, June Is, 1902.-Dear
Sir: The question is freQuently asked,
what shall we do to get together?'
This question is frequently propound-
ed in the columns Of journals and
magazines published in the East, and
is repeated TO a greater or less extent
in publications throughout the coun-
try. 1t is propounded to the Demo-
Gratis Of the country. The question
pre-supposes a division Of the ranks Of
the party. Possibly there is some d.
vision in the party ranks; at all events
there was some division growing out Of
the platform adopted at Chicago in
1895. AT that time quite a large num-
Der, who had hitherto acted with the
Democratic party, repndiated the
platform and opposed the ticket.
Many Of these are still out u line with
the party.
This constitutes the Only diyision in
the party ranks that / know Of. Now
comes the question, "How shall we
get t~ogetherY'' / know Of but one
way for Democrats to get together,
and that is to get on the party plat
form and support the party tickets.
There is no other way. Any other
plan means disorganization. If any
man outside the party wants TO come
into the party, all he has TO do is to
come In. Only one condition is or
should be prescribed for his coming,
and that is that he comes in good
faith, honestly expecting 20 support
the platforms and nominations Of the
party whether they exactly accord
with his conceptions or not. The door
is open TO every man who wants to
come on those terms. The simple an
swer | here give to this question, now
being 50 generally asked, is the only
answer that can be given.
Very truly yours,
WM. J. STONE.

ST. LOUIS, June 27.-Riyer men are
considering the use Of oil for fuel on
the packets running out of st. Louis,
and express the belief that if the
movement, which has been inaugural
ed, TO bring Beaumont oil here from
Port Arthur by water proves success
ful every vessel plying Western waters
will be equipped with oil burners.
The arrival Of the tow-boat Nc
Dougal from New Orleans to-day
demonstrates the practicabllity Of the
use Of oil. The McDougal was equip
ped with the burners at New Orleans.
She departed with a tow Of three
barges and arrived in st. Louis with
out stopping for fuel. Although a small
boat, she did not burn half her supply
OF oil, and the owners expect her to
make the return trip without using
the balance OF her supply. It Is said
the savings in fuel alone we're 10 per
cent.

gates to the Convention.

Owing to the unavoidable absence of
Mrs. May Wright Sewail. who was to have
greeted the foreign guests. the task was
assigned to Miss Clara Barton, who was
introduced by the president as IAN in
ternational woman" Miss Barton said in
part:
Among many honors which have from
time to time been conferred upon me,
none is more appreciated than the privi-
lege of welcoming these ladies' from Eu-
rope To America. Your coming marks an
event in the history OF the world that
for the first time the women of the world
have been assembled to define and discuss
the position of women.
Through long ages woman has obeyed
laws which she had no voice in making
II woman alone had suffered it would have
been less pitifGl. but man her brother,
has belittled the source Of his being,
dwarfed the Intelligence he might have
had to help him.
1T is fitting that this conference should
he held in q land where the first great
struggle fer freedom took place.
In future, grateful. loving women shall
breathe the names Of Eilzahstb Cady
Stanton aud Susan b. Anthony Zap
plgu5e.l These women have dared to
plead for every cause under heaven, and
have trodGen Il thorny path until the
thorns have been turned to roses
Miss Barton then mentioned the great
women rulers Of the world. concluding
with = tribute to Queen Victoria. in which
she said:
THANK God, England had no sale law"

Of Miss Anthony.

When Miss Susan B. Anthony, the pio-
neer OF pioneers and a lifelong advocate
Of the wOman's suffrage movement, arose
TO deliver her address she was greeted
with storm OF applause. The conyen-
ton rose as one woman aud, waving
handkerchief, cheered Miss Anthony to
the echo. IT was several minutes before
the most general and generous applause
accorded to her had subsidized. Miss An
thoDy said in part:
II won't go back to the time of Moses
or OF the food. but l win go back to the
time when Wyoming was ushercd into the
kingdom of political freedom. For thirt.
years she stood alone, and then came
Colorado and Utah, and Idaho, and here
we rest.
1T depends not on the women. | dete5I
that argument. Until all the men are
converted we cannot get the women.
There is political hiatus in our
movement because the politicians are
afraid we shall upset their little schemes
But we are going to get the people, tn
rank and file, with US.
When Mrs. Stanton and | were abroad
twenty years ago we dreamed of this an6
now, in this union OF action which We
foresee, we shall make greater and great
or strides"
