Boss RULE among the New York re-
publican politicians has become a recog-
nized fact and the conventions held in
that State are simply to ratify the action
of the bosses. That this is true is
shown by the statement that Governor
Odell offered the republican nomination
for Governor of New York to Henry w.
TAFT, brother Of War Secretary Taft, last
Tuesday. Mr.. Taft, however, declined
the offer and would not allow his name
to be presented to the State convention.
From the attitude of the Governor there
can be little doubt that he regards him
self as the official mouthpiece of his
party, and expects to be able to control
majority of the delegates.

10 words of criticism Mr.. Cowherd
says: "He says the party came in in
1896 and retained its place in 1900 on
pledges scrupulously fulfilled. 1t came
in on the false pledge Of international
bimetallism, which it never intended to
carry out He talks about the demo-
cratic party being 'shifty, uncertain,
and changing its convictions. Roose-
Welt began political life as a free trader
and upheld the doctrine in his numer-
Gus works, notably the Life of Benton.
He only changed his principles as an

withstanding his long discussion of the
tariff. il is impossible to discover what po-
sition he occupies today in regard to revis.

not increased under republican rule.
Then he explains why they have in

about how honestly the departments

Eight Persons Drowned.

The Delaware river steamer Columbia,
on its way from Philadelphia to Bristol,
Pa, last night, crashed into steam
launch about ten miles north of Phila-
delphia, grinding it to pieces and caus-
ing the drowning of eight of the dozen
occupants of the small boat. All of the
party were Philadelphians. The acci.
dent was the tragic ending of day $
pleasure trip on the river. The launch
was owned by Joseph Fortescue, and the
party had been made up from among a
few of his friends. The day was spent
in cruise up the river as far as Tren-
ton. The return trip was begun after
nightfall, the pilot of the boat keeping
close to the Pennsylvania shore on the
run down the river. When point was
reached near Andulsia, the Columbia
suddenly doomed up iE the darkness.
Fortescue jamNed his wheel to star
board, but just a moment too late. The
big steamer struck the launch squarely
in the middle and cut it in half, throw.
ing all the occupants into the water.
A terrible shrek went up as the
boats struck, which almost caused
panic among the passengers on board
the Columbia. Dozens of liie-preservers
were thrown overheard to those in the
water and a boat was lowered. Not
withstanding the fact that Capt. Camp
bell, of the Columbia, instantly reversed
his engine, the Columbia was some dis
lance from the struggling people in the
water when she came to a full stop.
When the rowboat reached the spot only
four persons could be found in the dark
ness. 1t is believed that several of the
victims were crushed by the paddle
wheels of the Columbia. The survivors
of the launch claim the launch was burn
ing the necessary river lights, as does
also Capt. Campbell. The latter de-
clared last night that the accident was
unavoidable

IT Is generally understood now thai
when Chairman Babcock, of the repub-
lican congressional committee, came to
Washington recently, with the declara-
ton that the republicans would carry
the presidency, but might lose the
House, he was paving the way for a
campaign assessment upon the corpora
tons that enjoy republican tariff legisla-
ton. During more recent years, as the
presidency has gone so has the House.
During Grants second term administra-
ton scandals so shocked the country
that in 1874 the democrats gained con-
troll of the House and made Sam R. Ran
dali Speaker. Chairman Babcock, who is
thoroughly conversant with the scandals
of the Roosevelt administration, the post
Office frauds and corruption, doubtless
had these matters in mind when be
made his cry for Doodle.

MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 70, 1904.

AFTER ABOUT three months labor MIR.
Roosevelt has sent forth his letter OF ae-
ceptauce as the candidate of the repub-
Hcen party for President of the United
States. It's extreme length will neces-
sariIy impair any force or logic it may be
supposed to contain in this day OF bust
ling and activity, and the fact that the
writer asserts that, if elected, he Will
continue the policy he Is now
pursuing should be sufficient reason
for the public declining his services zexl
November. The letter is 2 mass of as
sumption from beginning to end, and
should have little weight with the mil
lions of Americans who have for the
past three years kept themselves posted
ia the freaks of the present occupant OF
the White House. A synopsis of the
paper will be found elsewhere in the
Gazette. This contains all there is in it..
There are however some strange utter
ances in the letter, among them one TO
the effect that ono one can accuse the
republican party of trickery and insin-
cerity." The writer bases his appeal to
voters on what the republican party has
done and is doing and the avowal that it
is the intention OF that organization 10
conduct the government upon the same
lines in the future. Mr. Roosevelt, as may
have been anticipated, justi6es the part
this country played in precipitating the
war with Spain and the acquisition of
the Philippine Islands, Porto Rico and
the Sandwich and Samoan Islands, and
makes the ludicrous assertion that "the
administration behaved throughout the
Panama incident with good faith" lie
saws the administration has been the OF
iect of Misrepresentation in its procedure
in the latter affair. Quotations from
speeches delivered by Mr. Roosevelt on
recent occasions add to the voluminous-
ness of his letter. The assertion that
"the expenditures of the nation have
been managed in a spirit Of economy as
far removed from waste as from niggard-
ness" in the face of the fact that in 1900
there was a surplus Of 800, 900, 900 in
the treasury and that now a deficit of
more than $1,000, 900 appears, needs
no comment. Taken as a whole, it is an
epistle of straw and adds nothing to his
tory or literature.

Will Be Asked TO Intervene.

A dispatch from St. Louis says the
powers of the world, signatory to The
Hague convention, will be asked by the
Interparliamentary Union at its twelfth
conference to intervene in the Russo
japanese war President Roosevelt will
be requested to call second session OF
The Hague convention compulsory ar
bitration will be advocated; the use of
submarine mines in time of war will be
deplored, and many kindred resolutions
will be presented during the deliberations
of next week.
Brussels, London aud Copenhagen will
be recommended as the respective places
for the conferences of the next three
years by the executive council.
The decision to undertake to bring
about Intervention in the far eastern war
was not reached until after heated dis
cussion, at times bitter. When the
proposition was brought forward, NJ. Co
cherry, French deputy, was on his feet
in an instant. He objected vigorously
to any attempt whatever to inject the
matter into the conference. He was sup
ported by Marquis di San Cueliano, pres
ident of the Italian group.

reasons were given, but the one which
interested US most was that given by
nineteen young fellows whom the edi-
tor personally interviewed who an
swered: Nothing to go for" One
young man explained that lone doesn' t
get enough out Of the sermons that
are preached to make the effort worth
while to go and hear them" Still an
other declared that a certain preacher
he mentioned is not practical. 1T is
all theory, theory, words, words. He
doesn't seem to go out into the world
among men, Too much old Palestine
and cloister study. Doesn't know
men," These young men think they
are honest but they are not. The finest
dinner Delmonic0 could serve would
not interest a man who is not hungry.
The average preacher is the strongest
and most attractive speaker in the
community. He studies men as well
as books and a hearer who wants to
be benefited will be. Pearls are beau
tiful to those who appreciate such
things, but swine would rather have
corn The preachers of North Caro-
lima, we are not afraid to say, are the
most intelligent and vigorous citi-
zenS of the State. Take any one of
the great denominational conventions
and compare it with either of the
State political conventions. In the one
the preachers predominant, in the 9TH
er the LAWYERS and the politicians. We
are willing to leave it TO any fair
minded man who has attended both
and let him say in which of these
bodies he hears Il most clear-cut,
logical and impressive speaking. We
are in position where we have had
practical test Of this matter. For
the past eight years we have had a
preacher and a professional man
CASUALLY a lawyer) to address the au-
dience at the annual meeting. Among
the latter We have had some of the
most noted public speakers of North
Carolina, but as to the literary merit
of the two addresses delivered each
year, our legal friends will excuse US
for saying that the preachers are so
far ahead as to make the comparison
ludicrous. The reason is right on the
surface. The pulpit it a greater field
for eloquence than the bar. The
preacher comes in contact with so
much wider range of human expert
ence than the lawyer or any other
public man for that matter. And our
preachers. as a rule, are studious, and
honest, and earnest. Mr.. Bok's young
men arc not candid with themselves.
There is something to go for at the
Sunday service but none are SO blind
as those who will not see.
