STILL APART.

Democrats are not making a great
deal of progress towards getting to-
gether. The Democrats of Iowa on
Wednesday. in their state convention,
refused, after considerable discussion,
to mention either Mr.. Bryan or the
Kansas City platform in their resolu-
tons. 1t seems that the sentiment
was decidedly against any action that
would tend to complicate the situation
in 1904
In Ohio, on the same day. the Demo-
Gratis in state convention Endorsed the
Kansas City platform, though from
our report of the proceedings, it does
not appear whether there was strong
opposition to such Endorsement or not
Mr. Tom Johnson. the Mayor of Cleve-
land. led the convention and succeeded
in getting his ideas relative to tax
alton. franchises and the government
of municipalities adopted. 1t was
freely stated on the floor of the con-
vention that Mr.. Johnson was the can
didate of the Democrats of Ohio for
President.
We haven't the figures at hand but
it is a pretty safe statement that of
the Democratic state conventions
which have been held this year more
have refused to indorse the Kansas
City platform than have Endorsed it.
STILL enough conventions have in
dosed it to justify the conclusion that
there will be pretty hard fight in the
Democratic national convention over
the platform. The friends of the Kan
sas City platform do not intend to
abandon the principles in that plat
form unless forced to do so by greatly
| superior numbers.
OF course there is still time for great
changes in the sentiments of Demo-
crats-still time for the development OF
| an issue on which all of them can
unite-but at present the outlook fol
| harmony in the party--such harmony
as is necessary for SUGGESTS not as
promising as earnest Democrats would
| like it to be.

AN EXPLANATION IN ORDER.

| 1t would be decidedly interesting to
the military of Savannah and. we ven-
ture to say. OF the whole state. to
know why the Governor permitted a
| team of the Governors Horse Guard
| to represent Georgia at the Interstate
shooting tournament at Sea Grit. In
| the first place 1t is apparent from the
score that the team is not composed
of representative marksmen of the
state. and, in the second place, it is
still fresh in the memories of Georgia
military men that the team which rep
resented the state at Sea Girt in 1899
was defrauded of the Hilton Trophy.
The facts connected with the Hilton
Trophy matter are we'll known to the
public and are on file in the office of
the Adjutant General, being a part OF
the military records of the state.
1t has been our understanding that
it was the purpose of the military of
Georgia to take no further part in the
annual interstate tournament at Sea
Grit as long as it was under the man.
agement which conducted it in 1899,
unless full reparation were made for
the injury and insult offered to Geor-
gias marksmen at the tournament of
that year.
Has PREPARATION been made? If so we
have not heard of it, and we feel safe
in saying that the Savannah military
know of nothing that would justify
them in changing the attitude they
have maintained in regard to the Sea
Girt tournament since the Hilton Tro-
ply affair:
The purpose of the military men of
Savannah has been to uphold the hon
or of the state in that affair, and they
feel Inundated by being placed in the
position of having made a false issue,
and by the fact that the Governor now
seems to take sides with the New Jer-
Georgia.
1t can hardly be otherwise than that
there is some explanation of this mat
ter. and if so it ought to be given TO
the public. 1t is stated. and we have
no doubt the statement is correct, that,
Twins " ZIG tISdlHleill bSoFSld Hldrhs-
men received in 1899, the Governor re-
fused in the early part of this year to
accept the invitation of the Governor
Of New Jersey to permit the Georgia
military to be represented at Sea Grit.
What influence was it that caused him
to change his mind-that caused him
to permit a team of the Governors
Horse Guard to enter the tournament?
OF course the military cannot speak
their sentiments freely about this
matter, however deeply they may feel
in regard to it. 1t would not be proper
for them to criticise their superior off,
Ger, but they undoubtedly think an ex-
PLANTATION is due them.

The leader of the band, according to
the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune,
frowned as he brought the music to a
standstill in the middle of a bar.

promptly. Indeed, the chances are that
it would get into tangle over the pro-
posed compulsory law and remain in
session until next winter. Pennsyl-
vania legislators are not noted for do
ing things in a hurry.
In the meantime, the state would
have to keep the militia in the field. In
fact. the militia will be needed until
there is a settlement. The operators,
therefore, feel that their property viii
be comparatively safe. and they will
proceed leisureiy in their efforts to OPP

There were no enthusiastic plaudits
for the German Emperor from the
Polish population of Posen, when he
made his recent entry into that city.
The dispatches say that the Polish
majority was silent and looked gloom
lily at the brilliant show from houses
without decorations" 1t is an evil
dence of the Kaiser's astuteness that
during his visit the mailed fist was
hidden by the silken glove, that de-
spite rumors of insult and assassina-
ton he walked his horse.F alone,
through the crowded streets, and that
in his speech at the banquet there was
only the most delicate reference to the
race question that was agitating every
mind. There was a story once that
had as its point the statement that
mo Emperor is fool but the
Kaiser" Those who have been wont
to relate it with approval find frequent
occasion nowadays to modify their
views.

Thinks 1t was Hard cider.

Whatever may be said of Mr.. SmaIl's
Brattleboro adventure, it cannot be
charged that he has lack of candor,
writes Roswell Field in the Chicago
Post. For. according to reports, he ad-
mitted: IL was drunk 1 have no ex-
cuse to offer" If he said that it would
indicate that he is still under the
weather, which co1vinees US that he
fell a victim to hard cider. Several
years ago, in this same town of Battle
boro, two young men one summer day
disputed as to the relatively intoxicat-
ing qualities of champagne and Yer
mont cider, and put their opinions to
the test. The man who absorbed
champagne recovered in a week, and
the man who pinned his faith to cider
subsequently admitted that he did not
remember anything that happened un-
til the day after Thanksgiving. The
emigration from Vermont and the
abandonment of the old farms with
their well-stocked apple trees are at
tributable to desire TO go away TO re-
form and lead a new life, where the
temptations of prohibition are less vio-
lent.

A New Jersey stock farm has been
ruined after strange fashion. the
mosquitoes that there live and thrive,
side by side with the trusts, having so
badly bitten the cattle as to destroy
their usefulness and health. If char
ter granting to trusts were not such
profitable business we might find it
possible to sympathize with New Jer-
sey in the presence of this new af-
Fiction. AS it is. with the privilege of
milking the trusts which is so extern
sively used, the state hardly needs
ANYTHING so commonplace as cows.

The effort to secure the pardon of
Mrs Mary H. Maybrick. now serving
a life sentence in England for the MUIR
der of her husband, has been revived
in Chicago, where a collection TO pro-
vide funds for the purpose is being
taken up among persons who have be-
come interested in her case. 1t has
always seemed that the evidence upon
which she was convicted was flimsy
enough and her conviction appears to
have been predicated upon an impress
sion that the woman who commits
the crime against society, of which
the evidence does prove her guilty, is
capable of any other, rather than up
on any direct and convincing proof of
her guilt of murder.

from Pawtucket, r. l., where for one

HEARING
In ParIor Car With Woman,
More Serious Charge Not Sus-
tained-- Officer Disciplined

A hearing was given by the police conn
missioners. yesterday, to Patrolman
Thomas J. Duffy. who had been suspend
ed upon the charge made by a young
woman that she had been lured into

been undue intimacy.
The episode was In July and that night
Duffy was of duty until the Second re-
lief went out. r9
Duffy admitted that he had a key to the
car which had been given TO him by 3
watchman that he might from time to
time get drink OF ice water. ~
He also said that II was true that he
had been I'm the car with the young
woman from $50 to IL o'clock. but that
there was no intimacy.
The more serious charge of seduction.
originally made by the young woman was
not sustained by the evidence.
Nevertheless. and for the reason that
while the officer was off duty his con-
duct was prejudicial to discipline and the
welfare OF the force, Duffy suffers tho

other station and to lose his pay while
