STRUCK BY A GIRDER;
INSTANTLY KILLED

David II. Young, aged 81 years, liv-
ing al No. 7t3 Church street, and en-
ployed at the Edge Moor Iron Works,
was struck and instantly killed while at
work yesterday afternoon.
After having cleaned out the shops
he had the rubbish in a barrel on his
shoulder and was entering the door Of
one of the shops when a large girder
which was being shifted about the
shops struck him and knocked him
down.
He fell directly on the tracks in the
way of the moving trucks and before
he could be helped out OF the way the
trucks had passed over his body, terri
bly, mangling it.
It is supposed the blow on the head
had killed Young because he did not
move after he had fallen.
The body was removed to his home.
Young is survived by widow and three
sons.

This is "a pleasing Incident in Ameri-

the people OF an states are applauding
Mr.. Folk But unfortunately many
persons admire virtue in the abstract
or at a distance. 1t Is possible to put
forward such men IN every community
but there The good people balk. Why
should not the voters Of other States
Democrats and Republicans. adopt at
least a part Of the platform that has
been framed for Mr.. Folk? Here is a
paragraph.
Good citizens may innocenuy do
wrong but liberation OF known abuses
is criminal no party can be hurt by
getting rid OF rascals No state can
be injured by the enforcement of law.
The disgrace is iu liberation, not I'm

From the san Francisco Ctl.
The question Of race suicide recent

Whether the cause for it is that the
chance of being mistress of a house

attractive TO the cultured college girl
than freedom therefrom, with "a love

LIE MAN ANp rHE PARTY

rF~HE state News OF Dover carries
the virtue of party loyalty TO
the extreme absurdity In its en-
deavor to make for Judge Parker
virtue out Of his support Of Bryan. IT
says.
lie quilted himself faithfully by SUR
rendering his convictions to the dictum
OF his party. IL IS that little circum-
stance today which viii make the name
Of Parker SO wherever there IS am hon-
est and manly Democrat to tell the
story.
II Is hard to conceive a doctrine more
pernicious than that IL Is repugnant
20 the spirit Of our institutions and
subversive Of decent government II
puts the party above the individual.
whereas our government is based on
the theory Of Individual independence.
Presumably a man is a Republican or
a Democrat from conviction; he takes
no obligation to surrender his ow,,
opinions and to stick to his party no
matter what theories it may endorse or
what policies it may pursue.
Were this theory followed there
would never be new party. no mat
ter how inenicisnt thase existing might
become. and there would be no cor
rective forces within parties to keep
them straight.
We don't think a man has a moral
right to support a party on issues that
he thinks are wrong, for an honest man
cannot delegate an organization to do
his thinking for him. The tendency. OF
course, IS for a man to swallow much
that is unpleasant and to strain many
point ere he viii leave his party; but
TO preach the doctrine that he has some
moral obligation to help maintain the
machine, even against his Judgment
and his conscience is absurd.
AS matter Of fact, decent govern
ment more and more is coming to de-
pend upon the independent party man
the man who supports the organiza-
tion when ne can, but who revolts
when he must And this suggests that
we are getting back to the idea Of
those who framed the Declaration ana
the Constitution We are not yet
ready to bow down and call any po-
ntcal organization master The peo-
pie are sovereign stil.
