a oREAT OPPORTUNITY.

What will the Southern democracy
do in the next Democratic national
conventionf 1t Is a most pertinent
question. IL the Southern Democrats
are united IN that convention upon a
policy, it will be reflected in the plat
form. II they combine IN n man he
will be the nominee. The personality
of the head Of the ticket, however, is
at present Of little moment. The real
concern is the future policy Of the
party. Influence begets responsibility
and the Southern democracy should
prepare TO meet the duty 500 to con-
front it with deliberation. wisdom and
patriotism. The delegates from the
South should exercise their power in
the next convention, not as Southern
ers, but as Americans. They should
force a platform that will be broad
enough for every democrat to stand
upon. irrespective Of past alliances. It
should be a harmony platform with
out being nondescript, and positive
without being inaammatory. 1t should
meet living issues and not revive an
cient differences. The next democra-
tic convention can sound a trumpet
note, If it will, 20 thrill a nation.
Are the Southern Democrats capable
of seizing the opportunity win they
go there with the single purpose of
giving the party living issues for the
next great ight9 1t remains to be
seen; but if one may judge from APP
pearances the question will be affirm
atively answered.
This country needs two evenly
matched parties. It is a guarantee
against ~radicalism upon the one hand
and corruption upon the other. Aside
from any partisan consideration, there
fore, it is to be hoped that the inAu,
ence Of the Southern democracy will
be so exerted that the party will Ike re-
stored to its old-time prestige and
power. The South saved the party
from humiliation, aud sustained it in
times of unparalleled disaster. Let it
now lead in the task of rehabilitation
and smalgamation. It is truly a great

2 IN TIE NAVY.

The negro problem in the navy is
much more serious than in the army,
because there are no negro naval
vessels tc correspond with the negro
infantry regiments. Negroes in the
navy must mix with the whites, on
deck, in the mess and in sleeping quar-
ters. There has been long-existing and
deep seated objection on the part Of the
white sailors to association in this rela-
ton with the blacks. The present
widespread agitation against the blacks
seems to have brought the feeling in
the navy to a focus, and we observed
the outbreak of hostility at Bar Har-
Dor and the more recent taboo estab-
lished against the negro on board the
training ship in the Brooklyn navy
yard,
Mr.. Roosevelt will take a hand In
settling the matter, we suppose. He
will proceed On the iron rule that sail-
ors have no right to personal feeling IN
the premises, and that a negro sailor If
as good as a white one so long as be
does his work as well. That is right
according to the theory of our amend
ed constitution, but it does not work

MARRYING TITLES.

Why do American women marry for
eign titlesG Why is ii that 30 many
otherwise self-respecting fathers with
bank accounts virtually enter into q
bargain and sale arrangement, buying
a son -in-law as cheap as possible, and
with an eye more to the soundness Of
his title than TO the ~soundness Of his
moralsH Are these itle-purchasers
and daughter sellers typical of Ameri-
can life2
These questions must be asked by
every observer of modern American
society. There is a wild rush upon the
part Of q certain class for the fancied
social elevation which the possession
of a title confers.
The daughter of a Gould exchanged
millions for an honorary title of as
much significance in France as that Of
colonel in Kentucky. A daughter
of the V~anderbilts gave millions to be
welded to a title won by as great a
soldier and rs great a rascal as history
ever produced. Zimmerman millions
went to purchase a youth who, if he
had been an American, would have been
denied access to the homes Of respecta-
BILE persons. The list might be multiple
ed indefinitely. Foryears Americangirls
have been bartered for foreign titles
much after the manner in which the
aborigines exchanged their lands for a
string of beads.
Why a disreputable title, for some of
the titles purchased by American
dollars are the offspring of shame,
should be considered as ~elevating the
social status of the vendor, is some
what of a puzzle.
This nation was founded on the prin-
eiple Of the equity Of men. The great
spirits which presided at its birth and
guarded It's early destiny had a con
tempt for caste and royalty. True
merit was their ideal. The only arts
tocracy they recognized was the aris-
~tocracylof brains and character. The
only nobility to which they paid
homage was nobility Of soul, There
were fine standards In those days.
1t is not proof that their descendant
have degenersted because there are
come snobs and hunkeys who bow
down and worship a title. The title
hunters are not true types Of American
any more than the fortune. hunters ar
typical of European ~aristocracy. Their
are millions of Americans who cling t.
the old ideals and who deem it bette
to be an American sovereign than
foreign pottntate. There are million
of American women who still demanI
honor and character in their husband
above a title which "a breath ca.
make as a breath has made

mess men, being the senior part
ner of the we'll known dry goods firm

1901 he was obliged twice to submit
to the knife. the first time by New

he has been able to be out at different
periods until the first of October when
he was obliged to take his bed. Since
last Thursday he had been sinking
rapidly. He fought against his all
ments with strong will to the last,
taking his bed at first only for parts
of the day until his strength had
ebbed away.
Mr.. Temple was born in Bernard
ston, Mass May 30, 1850, and was one
OF family of five brothers and sis
ter, all of whom are now dead.
