Their Principles.

Those eminent democratic leaders,
Colonel Bryan and Willie Hearst,
came out yesterday with declarations
most persons as being In rather close
accord with the terms of the national
democratic platform adopted by the
national democratic convention which
met on Julys4, 1900, at Kansas City.
That platform was the work of
Bryan, and at the dollar dinner" at
Lincoln yesterday he emphatically de-
clared that it was Sound in every
plank and the first act Of the next
democratic convention should be to
reaffirm it in its entirety and it's next
act should be the addition Of new
planks In harmony with 1t and cover
Ing such new questions as demand
consideration" A considerable Dor
ton Of Colonel Bryan's speech was
devoted to an earnest appeal to the
democracy to get on much higher
moral plane than they at present oc-
cupy, and have their consciences
fquickened, condition, he intimated,
they were much better prepared to
maintain than the wicked republicans
who, according to Bryan, are wallow-
Ing in seething mass Of corruption.
So emphatically does Bryan stand
& by the Kansas City platform that his
sardor naturally suggests that he has
made up his mind to make an attempt
ito force this shibboleth upon the
democratic national convention at ST.

Isyl was queen of the feast of st. Jo-
seph, one Of the events of the year at
San Jose, California But she was not
the choice OF the. people. Norine Almeric,
the daughter of the boss Of the county,
was the choice of the people, because
papa had the stuff that talked and that
stuff had said Norine should be cit" But
destiny Of which SHAKESPEARE ( wrote
shaped the ends differently, and a mo-
ment before Norine was to enter the
throne room Of the San Jose agricultural
pavilion to be crowned she dropped out
of sight, not to be discovered by the peo-
pie or the power behind their duly elect
ed but absent queen until the festivities
were about to close three days later. Now
the Lord Chamberlain, coming into the
room where moment before the queen
elect had been waiting to appear before
her papa's beloved people to receive their
acclaims. and finding that the queen was
gone and gone for good, said the people
must have queen and that the maid Of
honor, 1syl Shea, must 'do the turn
lsyl tried to refuse the crown but had
not the iron will of a Caesar and only
refused twice.

TUESDAY MORNING,

Louis next July. If he can't be the
nominee Of the convention, he would
force his political creed upon it.
Bryan. says every plank in his plat
form Of 1900 Is soundly democratic.
1t certainly looks queer for man who
is preaching q return to morality and
the development of the "quickened
conscience" to champion with all the
earnestness he carr command, the de-
mand of that platform for "the inn
mediate restoration Of the free and UNI
limited coinage Of gold and silver at
the present legal ratio of IS, to J.,
without waiting for the aid or consent
OF any other nation" A statesman
who makes such an immoral PROPOSE
ton, embodying Reputation Of ma
tional obligations. the uplift Of prices
with heavily deprecated dollars to
meet them, and bold. bad lie stamped
upon the face of each dollar, will
never receive the confidence Of the
public sufficiently to help him to the
the democracy again a declaration
of hostility to all the accomplished
facts of territorial expansion since
1898. In his Lincoln speech he does
not disguise the purpose Of the Bryan
democracy to undo all that has been
done in this direction If his party ever
gets into power. He distinctly de-
clares that party will never surrender
to imperialism Bryan commits
himself to the terms of his old fight.
Will the democracy follow him. hither
and yon, in all his multiplied vagaries?
Willie Hearst announces that he is
in absolute accord with washington,
Jefferson, Jackson and Lincoln. If
this presidential candidate really is in
accord with these worthy statesmen,
while backing Bryan and the Kansas
City platform, he certainly has q re-
markable digestive organ. But he
says he is. and we must take his word
for it. While Hearst accepts the
Bryan shibboleth, he declares the par
amount issue to be Industrial feu-
dalism." as embodied in industrial
consultations. Hearst's creed is more
conservative In some respects than
Bryan's.

The Bad and the Good.

1t would be hard to find a novel
more interesting than the story of the
downfall of the Blairs Of st. Louis, and
the recent death Of the husband under
the choking pressure of his guilt. 1t
is the old story Of willingness to sac
rif1ce everything to make good
showing and to move among people Of
larger fortune than that of the social
aspirant. The fact that Blair for
years led a double life, and, while
assisting In movements for reforms
and another, was stealing from widows
and orphans Is enough to shake faith
In all human nature. But the optimist
will take courage from the fact that
even when rumor began to assail
Blair's reputation he had friends who
would not listen to, the gossips and
offered him financial assistance. The
superficial will call them easy
marks" but just the same they are a
proof of the capacities Of human
nature for goodness.
It Is the same way with the Taylor
affair here in Minneapolis. Young
Taylor seems to have thrown every
thing overheard at once, including
every remnant Of honor. He took adj
vantage of the implicit confidence of
friends and acquaintance to obtain
money in ways that must have made
him ashamed Of himself while he was
doing it. In Kansas City, en- route to
Mexico, he even found a brother Elk
who was glad to pawn a diamond ring
to get money with which to cash one
Of Taylor's worthless checks.
The cynical may smile at the ease
with which his friends permitted
Taylor to rob them. but Their trust in
him was, after all. to their credit and
that of humanity. II men like Tay-
llor and Blair show us to what depths

Cummins Stands by His Guns.

Persons who thought that Governor
Cummins of Iowa had yielded his
convictions as to reciprocity and tariff
mess of pottage or other now see
their mistake.
The governor intends to send an
Iowa-idea delegation to the repub-
1ican national convention. That dele
CATION will stand for reciprocity in
general and will probably ask for an
explicit declaration in favor Of reci-
procity with Canada. The governor
believes that the shortest cut to reci-
procity with Canada now is thru a
declaration by the republican national
convention In favor of it. There is no
doubt that President Roosevelt, with
such a resolution behind him, would
undertake to bring about reciprocity
with the Dominion.
We have said before that Governor
Cummins is becoming the political
leader Of the reciprocity movement.
Senator Fairbanks had the chance to
identify his name with policy which
is bound to prevail in the near fu-
ture. He failed to seize the oppor-
tunity. Governor 'Cummins has done
better.
Devotion to the high tariff idea
carried William Mckinley into the
White House.
Devotion to the reciprocity idea
may yet, in good time, carry Albert
Cummins to the same august resi-
dence.
He would make great president.

Get the Drop.

Friends of President Roosevelt
should favor early conventions to
elect delegates to the republican ne-
tional convention.
The manipulators who are trying to
nominate Hanna or Taft, who are for
anybody to beat the strong, master
full man in the White House., need
time for their virus to work. They
seek to create uncertainty and to dis
seminate lack of confidence In the
president, SO that the convention shall
be filled with uninstructed delegates.
The way to defeat THIS game Is to
call the conventions early in every
Roosevelt state and elect Roosevelt
delegates. and then bind them with
cast-iron instructions.
The Pennsylvania convention was
called for April 6, before Chairman
Hanna had even issued the call for
the national convention, in order to
start the fight early and force the
Opposition te show fight in the open
or quit.
The same course should be adopted
in the other states. The persons who
are stirring up opposition to the pres
fident by ways that are dark and de-
ivious and mysterious should be made
Ito fight in the open If they are going
to fight at all.
Here In Minnesota practically every
body Is for the president. So far as
getting him the delegation is con-
cerned, it doesn't make any difference
when the conventions shall meet. But
Minnesota can help the Roosevelt
cause in other states and do much to
scotch the opposition in embryo by
holding Its conventions early and in
structing for the president emphat-
ically and enthusiastically.
