Breaking It to the President.

New York World.
 There was consternation at the White House The ultimatum did not ultimate.
 Contrary to the logic of all events, sacred and profane, the beet-sugar Sena- tors were not frightened.
 DO they dare?" asked the President Do they dare defeat me?' There was no answer. Presidential secretaries have their emotions under good control.
 "I said must" distinctly must! did not?"
 Still there was no answer Then mes sage went hurling to the capitol for the Senator who seemed sad on the night oi the ultimatum.
 He came "The truth!" demanded the President.
 we are defeated" the sad Senator re- piled. I've cannot move wheel. Inc beet-sugar men are in control.
 But my message and my ultimatumE
 The sad Senator gazed pensively out oi the window.
 Hanna and Spooner and Allison? Can they not force this through? They have never failed before"
 .Son." said the sad Senator, rising and putting his hand on the President touselied hair, you are young in poll tics. You have much to learn. Has it never occurred to you that perhaps they didn't want to win this hght-perhaps they had no desire to force it through?''

poun1r GOLDEN SYMBOL.

The American Newspaper Directory uses eer tain signs to denote the relative standing and merit of the whole field of newspaperdoH which comes under it's notice and one of these signs is the mystic symbol f0J denoting golden" which stands for high quality. and 1s thus explained:
 ssAdvertisers value this paper more for the class ard quality of it's circulation than for the mers number of copies printsd.''
 Such papers are credited with a single sym bbl; but there is higher grade. according to tkls standard authority. which have BOTH QUALITY AND QUANTITY. and require the DOUBLE GOLDEN SYMBOL I00I to describe adequately their standing.
 Ths Advertiser has been accorded this double golden symbol IO91 and is the only paper 90 distinguished in this section of the South.

German Also Working for Harmony.

From Washington to Brooklyn Eagle.
 While ex-President Cleveland and David power to bring about Democratic lar mony in New York, Senator Arthur Pue German of Maryland is working in the same direction in that State. The Re publicans of Maryland have a bitter fac tional fight on their hands. The friends and enemies of United States Senator McComas are waging tho bitterest kind or warfare against each other, even going so far as to carry their fight to the White House. Congressman Mudd and Senator McComas are at swords points, and every time the former recommends man for office Senator McComas goes to the Presi- dent and opposes his colleagues selection. President Roosevelt has given considera- ble of his time to considering these Mary land appointments and he has now an- nounced that he is sick and tired of the squabble between McComas and the Re- publican Congressman from the State. Senator German desires to take advantage of this condition of affairs and so Is de- voting nearly all his spare time these days to patching m Democratic dtf- ferences, and it is believed that if any man can bring about party harmony in the State he can.
 As German resumes his seat in the Sem at next March, and as he will have good deal to say about Maryland patronage and will be in a position to help his Friends in many ways, it is thought that his eff forts will prove successful. Mayor Hayes or BalIlmOr6 ana eH-6ONeFHOE cTduh Brown of Maryland are not particularly fond of ex-Boss Basin and German s other old time lieutenants, but it is noticeable that they are not nearly so bitter against these men as they, were a few months ago. and Maryland people say that before the campaign Is over Senator German will be able to arrange a truce btween these leaders If he can accomplish this and line up the full strength of in sparty at the polls in November inc Democrats ought to have no difficulty in sweeping Baltimore city and carrying the State. If they succeed a Democrat will come to the United States Senate in place of Senator Me Comas. It is generally conceded here even among Republicans that in selecting Wellington and McComas the Republl- cans did not strengthen their party in the State of Maryland Wellington is to- day a man practically without party, and McComas. by his incessant quarrel ing with his associates, has driven from the party a isreat many votes. As Is frequently the case the patronage of the State instead of helping the Republicans has been the cause of irritation and con tention.

The Chief of Fusionists.

Birmingham News.
 They now are all hand in glove to- gether out in Nebraska and the Hon. William Jennings Bryan. who was him self the unanimous choice of the Popullsts for Governor. but who declined the nomi- nation for reasons best known to himself, is largely responsible for it. It is hard to believe that MT. Bryan could not sub scribe to the Populist doctrines, He spent the greater part of two. days in his ef forts to harmoniZe the two parties and have a fusion ticket nominated. This meant, of course, that the Populists were to have a liberal representation on the State ticket. and in large measure through Mir. Bryan's influence they got it. Indeed Mir. Bryan made d vigorous and lmpassioned plea for harmony be- tween the parties which had spent years denouncing each other, expressed himself as delighted with the result andmleclared he would give his unqualified support to the ticket, Here Is picture for you. w. and using his influence and eloquence in behalf of the Popullst Party on d fusion basis. Meantime the true Jeffersonan De- mocrats who have never wavered from the great principles enunciated by that
 wise American patriot can but open their eyes in wonder and eXclaim:' Consist ency, thou are a jewel!' Does 1t not look like the irony of fate that MT. Bryan or Mir. Anybody else who has demonstrated by both word and act that he is a Popu- list should chide with inconsistency those real Democrats who are standing firm on the original. untainted, uncOmpromised anO unpurchasable platform of principles and patriotism?

COMMENTS ON BRYAN.

Mir. Bryan's vicious attack on MT. Cleveland surprises no one. of course. It vas just what was expected, and we have comments of editors in all parts of the Union. As a general thing the newspa- pers do not hesitate to take their gloves of when alluding to the Nebraska man snarlihg abuse The New Haven Regis ter is among the most conservative of all tho papers which come to this office, and here is a sample of it's comments:
 Mir. Bryan may be excused for holding views with regard to the present and future of the party which do not coincide with those held by other men. including Mir Cleveland and Mir. Hil He Is not to be excused when In expressing thoso views he deliberately ignores the welfare Of his party for no other reason that one can see than to show his teeth. It is q performance which is without a parallel. so far as we can recall What possible excuse can be made for such a statement as this. at a moment when the hopes of thousands have been lifted higher and be- ccfne almost a guarantee of harmony and victory: Having debauched his BdTlys HC was Dy ltS etIOTI tO re- form. and gave comfort to the enemy virginius killed his daughter to save her chastity. Cleveland stabbed his party to prevent it's return to the paths of virtue. .
 Such utterly false and vicious state ments are not only without a parallel" as The Register says, but are wholly without defence or excuse. That Mir Bryan should feel hurt because he was not invited to speak at the Tilden dinner is natural. but he knows the reason and knows that the reason lies in himself It would have been a physical, mental and moral impossibility for him to have de livered a speech at that meeting without introducing matter calculated and in- tended to create discord.
 We say again that it was no surprise tfa his comments on the Tilden dinner took the shape and language that they did. He has shown so plainly that no one can fail to understand him that he wants no harmony unless 1t comes pre- cisely on the lines laid down by him. He will not abate one jot or little of his views on finance or anything else. He tells Democrats that they can harmonze shd reorganise as much as they please. but they must get on his platform to do it or expect to feel his wrath. We do not believe 1t possible for the Democrats of the Union to formulate platform which would piacate him unless it em- bodied all the essential features of the Kansas City deliverance.

Letters to the Editor.
A Plea for Six O'Clock Closing


 Editor The Advertiser:
 In our climate some sort of vacation seems well nigh essential to doing the best work the year around All or us therefore who have the opportunity or getting away for a few weeks every merchants in giving to the salesmen and saleswomen, and many of whom cannot afford to take a vacation, the privilege or enjoying a quiet and restful evening. As one of the clerks put 1t the other day, Now we can really enjoy our evenings, for when the store closses at 6 o'clock we get home In time to rest and bathe before supper and when night comes we feel cool and refreshed and ready for a stroll or ride on the cars
 Allow me therefore, to voice for many of our citizens the sincere hope that the interests of one Iirm may not be allowed to imperil the good work for this cause done by the Committee of the Commer- cial and Industrial Association and by The Advertiser. ., ness man, and the fact that where all unite no hardship Is entailed upon any one, have been so well set forth in your paper that I shall not rehearse the argu- ments for the o'clock closing. But as one who believes in the blessing of being as much in Gods great out of doors as possible. and as friend of our young people, 1 venture to suggest to our un- named friends, the firm; whose action has threatened the continuation of this most timely and generous otherwise action Of our merchants. the consideration that perhaps the loss of the good will of the thousands of friends of Montgomery's g clerks might exceed the value of the extra hours trade. maintained adverse to the interests of hundreds of others, and in the face of the otherwise uani- nous action of the merchants of our city

SAVE THE FLOWERS.

The Manchester (N. H.) Union has a
 lengthy and somewhat severe editorial | devoted to the wealthy people of that l city who drive out into the country and return with arms and buggies filled with flowers of the mountain laurel. which is now in full bloom in that section. Of the use of these flowers to decorate churches and pulpits The Union says:
 Wild flowers are out of place in churches. No thoughtful person can con- template them there without painful consciousness of the robbed, blasted stem somewhere, of the utter failure of the blc ssorn to fulill its fair promise of fruit or seed. Whitening in a church the wild flower is a fiat contradiction of all that should be taught there of faith and nope and aspiration It is mutely suggestive ontv of failure, of evil that has befallen, of robbery, of murder.
 Whether we may or may not agree with our contemporary as to the propriety of rzing wild flowers to decorate churches. there ought to be no difference of opinion as to the wrong of ruining the Towering trees which grow by the public high ways. In most cases the towering branches of the trees are not cut oft smoothly. or care taken to cut off only the twigs and small limbs with flowers on them but the larger limbs are ruth lessly torn of, leaving the tree maimed and misshapen. Even if such rude treat
 ment does not kill the tree outright 1t checks it's growth. saps its vitality and leaves it in a condition which will re- uuire years to overcome.
 Those who thus go out on their errands of destruction take no thought of the harm they are doing. or stop to calculate what brief time will be required to complete the destruction of the wild flow CTS which struggle for existence along the roadside and which add so much heauty to the landscape. Of course no re- spectable person would think of going into the yard of a friend and tearing of the limbs of their blooming trees. but these wild flowers belong to somebody. or to the public, and ought to be sacred in
 the eyes of all who are attracted by the beauties of nature. It is cruel to destroy them.

olney Prepares Address for Cables
 Committee.

Form Washington to Chicago Chronicle'
 The Democratic caucus of the House U. . Representatives will meet on trlday nish. to consider Issuing statement oI lnS 7 issues on which the coming congressional campaign will be fought. II VIII pc Ill the form of a ringing address to tne voters of the United States ana VIII sS. S forth the policies and reforms TOT whiclI q. the Democratic party will nght II u secures control of the next House.
 The caucus was called at the instance of the executive committee oI the iyeihoo .,oo cratic Congressional Committee ana tne address which is to be taken under con. sderation Is one that has been prepared by Richard Olney of Massachusetts former Secretary of State. MT. Olney, it will be recalled, oechneu to become a member of the Executlve Committee, which was organized by Ben T. Cable because of advancing years ana increasing infirmities. He promlseI MT Cable, however. that the committee mlgnt call on him for any service which II deemed he could perform. ii:e committee promptly took Mir. Olney at his word ana delegated him to write revised declara- ton of party principles which Will ap- peal to all factions and interests.
 The address will put the Democratic party in Congress squarely on a plat form pledging 1t to prosecute and dissolve criminal trusts, to restrict all other trusts and complete radical reformation or the tariff. The Philippine issue VIII he subordinated and n,inimiZed.
 Apparently. the Democratic leaders of the country arc not in sympathy with the campaign which was conducted With so much vigor by certain Democrats In the Senate That the Democrats of the House do not share the radical views Of Democratic Senators has been demon strated by the debate on the Philippine civil government bill. They are disposed to take the question with more con- servatism.
 The caucus on Friday will disclaim in tention to set aside the platform adopted by the last Democratic national conven- tion It, however will assume that changed conditions, industrial and eco- homie. have created paramount issues which the party cannot ignore in the con- gressional campaign.
 In point of fact, the action of the caucus presuming that it will ratify the new declaration of principles, will be equivalent to repudiation of those blanks of the Kansas City platform which caus- ed the overwhelming defeat of MT. Bryan in 1900. Silver and 16 to 1 will be elihhi- mated. No mention of that issue will be made in the address. MT. Bryan will not be hailed as the peerless leader of his party. He, too, will be forgotten.
 The Democrats in Congress appreciate that the only way they can secure control of the House is by commanding votes, and the only way to get votes is to stand by principles which will appeal to the voters.

? he Good Roads Magazine, in speaking of the good roads train sent out by the Southern Railway, says:
 There can be no doubt whatever that the first primary object was accomplished immediately by each Convention. Seldom has the Sunny South bean aroused to so high a pitch of enthusiasm over So pro- safe a subject as it has been during the past winter over the need of better roads. Every convention held had the sanctiJ Jn and hearty personal cooperation of the Governor of the State and of the Mayor of the city in which 1t was held, and each enc was well attended by 200 to 800 or 1000 delegates and spectators who took 6 profound interest in the proceedings. All of the newspapers devoted columns daily to the work of the train crew and to re- porting the sessions of the convention. Governor McSweeney of South Carolina and Governor Montague of Virginia. were inspired to write at length on the subject in their messages to their respective Gen. eral Assemblies convened for the session of 1902 Resolutions urging the adoption of road improvement measures were framed and sent sthe State Legisla. lures and to Congress. Tn dozen othef ways was made manifest the degree to which our Southern brethren's common sense and pride were touched.
