New York as rostrum from which to
warn the Democrats of the country
against Judge Parker, his mission is
futile. The Democrats of the coun-

Judge Parker, and have been so deeply
impressed that the nomination Of the
Judge is practically certain. II he

fitness as party counsellor and a

MORE RoosEvELTIsM.

No little comment has been caused
by the announcement that Secretary
HAY has ordered that the words Unit
seals of all our embassies and consul
lates and that the single word
America" is to be substituted. We do
not know whether this determination
comes of the Secretary's own motion
or whether 1t is the result of oollab-
Grafton with his chief, but 1t is about
such an act as Roosevelt might be ex-
pected to father.
We cannot, see how Hay and his
chief expect to get around a venera-
BILE document known as the Constitu
tiop. nut presume a little thing like
that wouldn't prevent either of them
from carrying out any design for
which he felt an inclination. 1t is true
that that instrument does not In posi-
tive language. declare that our gov
ernment shall be called the United
States, but Section l of Article 2, be-
gins, The executive power shall be
vested in a President of the United
States of America" and in other places
the same instrument refers to the
United states.T In, fact, at the very be-
ginning of the instrument Its makers
declared that we, the people," had as
sembled together for the purpose of
establishing a Constitution for the
United States of America"
Thus it will be seen that the name
or title of the new government was
decided on by those who met to frame
a constitution for 1t, and that they
used the new name whenever the &C.
CASTOR offered. Possibly the President
and his secretary can make the sug-
gested change without laying them
selves liable to impeachment, but that
does not clear them of the charge Of
at least tampering with the Constitu-
tion. The claim that ours is not the
only United States on the American
continents is a weak defence for the
charge. for certainly nothing is gained
by using the single word America"
as If our government controlled Inc
entire Western world.

He led sthe champions in stolen bases

THE OUTLOOK.

The Republicans at Chicago are
making a great show of spending
three days in doing what might as
easiiy be done in three hours. ne
manifest feature of the gathering Is
it's utter lack of enthusiasm for !ne
party's candidate. All are for him, no
one wants him. Roosevelt mas made
them come together at Chicago to rat
ify his plans, but he is not relying on
them for his success. He is appeal.
ing straight over tmeIr heads to the
greater public beyond. He has a con-
tempt for the ordinary machinery of
political parties, believes in the star
Of his personal destiny and will trust
1t rather than the various State and
national bosses. They naturally re-
sent this rude pushing aside. they
grumble about it and yet they u4re not
revolt. They do not know how strong
he may be with the rank and file, and
they hesitate and still hesitate, w....s
he drives imperiously along. They are
all embarked in thu same boat They
srowl continually at the way he rocks
II and yet they are afraid to catch
hold of him to restrain him. &c m..-
turn himself and them, too. into the
water to struggle for their political
lives. The show will be over at Chi
cage at once and since he has taken
over the management of his own cam
paign, he will proceed to exhibit to
the country through suc.4 methods as
he chooses to adopt the grounds upon
which he will claim an endorsement.
He is a shrewd and masteTful man,
but so ubiquitously active, that it will
be a marvel If he does not break down
during the heat and struggle of a pres
idential contest.
We arc frank to say there are MANY
signs in the Democratic lines as Icy
appear to-day that are disconcerting,
but as the situation develops there is
q steadily growing impulse to soyer
statesman-like conduct at st. Louis.
Bryan will not have his own way;
Hearst will not have his own way; nor
Murphy of Tammany his, nor Parker
his. The convention, in a genuine
bEnSfY VIII DC an assembly or Demo-
Gratis met to confer upon the welfare
of the party and the country. 1t will
prove, its own way. The delesa.s
cannot be stampeded; they cannot be
swept of their feet by any situA. on
likely to arise. They will lave gath
cred there in grave and determined
moods, and in such body of men this
furnishes the assurance they will do
nothing that is hasty or unwise. We
confidently look to seeing a sound
ticket and a sound platform put forth
at st. Louis. Even with these .-.e
is unquestionably a heavy battle
ahead. We are indulging no Jay
dreams Everybody will know in 40
vember there has been a fight. Ine
increasing steadiness apparent among
the Democrats, clean in spite of du-
bIous facts here and there, persuades
us to cheerful view in looking -e
whole field over.

A DEMOCRATIC DUYy.

The following paragraph from The
Philadelphia Record is worthy OF con-
sideration:
A Democratic victory would be about
as important to the Republican party
as TO the country. and the Republican
leaders. chained to the wheels Of the
red and gold band wagon which Mr..
Roosevelt thinks is a,chariot. are con-
scious of the fact. Never did the DEM
ocratic party have so capital chance
to carry the election as It has this
year. tu
There Is not a shadow of doubt in
our opinion about the fact that many
of the best and strongest men in the
Republican Party are not pleased with
Roosevelt. They not only distrust him
but fear him. They fear him for what
he is and for what he may do. for
they know that he is one of the most
country ever had. Patriotic Republi-
cans have real fears for the welfare Of
the government IL he gets a full term
by election. He would then feel him
self the choice of the country and
would give full and free rein to his
erratic impulses.
Nor 10 that all. for he would not
only treat the Office as his personal
property, which he does now to
great extent, but would so entrench
himself. and build UP such machine
that he would either hold the office for
another term or nominate a man of his
own selection and OF his own kind.
That the best men in the party see and
dread the danger is beyond doubt. but
for the present they are helpless. If
they had tried to secure the nomina-
tion of another they would have failed,
have meant the disruption of the party
They have him, or he has them, and
they cannot shake him off, except by
joining In with the Democrats to en-
sure his defeat. Anomalous as 1t may
seem. the defeat of Roosevelt would,
In our judgment. be better for the Re-
publican Party than his election
would. If defeated they would be rid
of him for all time to come, but If he
is elected this time, they are likely to
have him on them for at least eight
years. and we have no assurance that
he would even then be willing to turn
loose.
AS The Record says, the Democratic
Party never had a better chance than
it has this year and never was it a
graver duty for any party to succeed.
II will be no reflection on Democrats
IL they put out a candidate and plat
form that will attract the best ele-
ments of the opposition. Not all Re-
publicans are blind partisans, and
thousands of them would be glad to
vote for sound Democrat on a sound
platform rather than see the country
once more saddied with Roosevelt. In
short, it is a duty which Democrats
owe to the country as well as to their
party to put out the right kind of
ticket. for in that way lies success, and
in no cher. Recruits from the enemy |
are not to be despised If they can be
secured without compromise of princi-
pie.

UNsAFFE EXCURSION BOATS.

The more the New York horror is
Investigated the worse it gets, and the
more apparent it becomes that gross
and criminal negligence is largely re-
81 onsible for the horrible affair. The
New York Herald speaks of the Gem
erGl Slocum as a mere finder heap of
PANIED wood, and declares that the
alleged inspections of such boats Is an
absurd fiction. Evidence on this point
is also supplied by Inspector General
Uhler. who is reported as declaring
that lines against steamboat men have
been reduced or RENTED in numerous
instances at the request of Senators or
Representatives. What can be DONE"
he asks, when a political pull is para
mount TO the laws of the country"
He may well ask that question, and
ii 1t is a fact that prominent politicians
have interfered to prevent the punish
ment of boat owners who jeopardize
the lives of thousands by taking them
out in unsafe boats, all the facts
should be brought out and made public
and let the responsibility rest where
1t ought. There seems little doubt that
the slocum was dangerously unsafe for
such a purpose as it was put to, but
1t is not solitary case by any means.
The Hartford Times says:
There are passenger boats in the
waters of Connecticut which are no
safer than the General Slocum was.
There is dangerous risk to human life
whenever these vessels take a load of
people NOR than two hundred feet
away from the land. There areGsteam-
ers In Bosom harbor, in the Delaware
river at Philadelphia and In Baltimore
harbor, on which human lives are as
much endangered as they evidently
have been whenever the General Slo-
cum has gone out with her great bur-
der of humanity to the shores of New
Jersey Or Long Island Sound.
We agree with The Times that such
excursion boats ought to be aS...-..e4,
but how2 While political pull"
controls the matter of inspection 1t is
hardly likely that such affairs as that

BRYAN's TOO LATE.

New York World.
On the eve of a Republican National
Convention William Jennings Bryan
comes to New York too tell the Demo-
Gratis OF this State that they are unfit
for self government and need politl-
cal suzerain.
What Mr.: Bryans purpose may ne
in visiting New York at this time we
have no means of knowing. Neither
have we the vaguest notion of what
he expects to accomplish We doubt
IL Mr.. Bryan himself is any better in
formed on the subject than are the
rest of us.
Certainly he cannot hope to reverse
the decision of the New York Demo-
Gratis in regard to the Presidential can
didacy of Alton B. Parker. That de-
two months ago by the representatives
of the $4,000 New York Democrats
who voted for Mr.. Bryan in 1900. These
representatives were regularly elected
at regularly called conventions com
posed of delegates chosen at regularly
called primaries. They expressed the
will of the Democratic party at Albany
precisely as 1t would have been eX-
pressed had these $4,000 Democrats
attended a massed convention in per-
son and recorded their individual pre-
ferences.
No opposition whatever to Judge
Parker's candidacy was raised at this
convention. The sole subject of con.
troveFsy related to the expediency OF
instructions and the inopportunist
minority was even louder In its praises
of Judge Parker as candidate than
was the opportunist majority.
Yet Mr.. Bryan comes to New York
to tell these Democrats that they are
horde of imbeciles; that they do not
know their own minds; that the man
they have Endorsed for President is
unfit for the nomination. and that they
have no right TO select a candidate who

And another point i should like to

ayers of our street railroad systems
are evidently imbued with ultra-Roose-

have practically debarred the white

only this. but they make night hideous

SO that the residents of certain sec

question l am not informed. but why
they should be so much more frequent

than on any other. is matter that the
citizens of the quarter have a right to

public utilities in their own interest,
