THE Go1Na-AwAY GOWN,

We had an extraordinary session of this Congress in November and the frs, regular session is about to close. What has the Fifty-eighth Congress done What sort of a going-away gown will 1t wear?
 The usual immense number of bills have been introduced. nearly twelve thousand in all The great bulk of these, of course. are chucked in hole a, the desk and are never expected to emerge. Of the meritorious bills, those introduced for some other purpose than to humbug constituents, introduced with wish and earnest desire that they may become laws, the larger quantity are be ing left in the dark recesses of the com mittee rooms, sleeping quietly while the Republicans on the floor are crying what? Stand pat, stand pat Is hearo in every Republican mouth. They have stood pat, too. They have stood pa for protection, yielding Cuba a begrudged and pitiful reduction in our tariff against that island. They have stood pat ir

CLOSED HIS OWN MOUTH.

The Brooklyn Eagle contends that Democratic criticism of Roosevelt should be confined to his acts and words since he became President. In general sense, perhaps, The Eagle Is correct, at least so far as his personality Is con- cerned. What he may have done or said when he was a younger man and a private citizen can have nothing to do with his fitness or capacity for the Presidency.
 But we insist that there is at least one exception to The Eagles proposition. When Roosevelt in one of his books advocated or justified the lynching of Western horse thieves. he put stopper in his own mouth which should effect ually close 1t against any expressions condemning lynching in the South. In all the Western States and Territories there are laws to punish thieves just as there are laws in Alabama or any other Southern State. to punish black ravishers of white women. If he considered 1t right and proper to lynch white men in the West who stole horses and cattle, he should refrain from criticising the lynching of colored men who despoil white women. We make no defence or excuse for lynchings in the South, but deny that Roosevelt Is a proper man to criti- else us for 1t.

SYRUP FROM MELONS

The Advertiser a day or two ago print ed an item from Richmond, Va, men, tioning the fact that good syrup was being made from watermelons, although 1t is quite early for melons. The article read as if this was a new discovery, but 1t is really a revival, or a continuation of an old one. This writer we'll re- members melon syrup made in the old slavery days by the negroes, either in the ordinary wash pot, or, in cases where there were appliances for making cane syrup, the same boilers were used to boil and reduce the melon juice. The syrup thus produced was somewhat crude, and lacked the finish which suita- ble fixtures would give it, but we re- member that 1t was really delicious
 This is an industry of vast possibili- ties. If experiments and practice shalf render it practicable to make this syrup easily and economically, it is hard to 'esti- mate the importance of 1t. As all know who are familiar with Southern conditions water-melons are not only easily grown, but the number that can be produced is practlcally unlimited. AS II IS, they are so plentiful in many portions of the South as to be almost a nuisance. They are hauled to the towns and cities and often sold for trifie, or not sold at all. They are shipped North and West and frequently fah to pay freight charges. They are eaten. fed to the hogs. wasted and rot on the ground. If there can be such thing as surplus crop of any thing, water-melons fill the bill. Fond as the colored people are of them they can't exhaust the supply.
 If, now, the manufacture of good syrup from the melons can be easily accom- plished, and if 1t can be made at prices to compete with cane syrup, 1t will add one more to the South's valuable assets. Not that they are peculiarly a Southern product, but that all conditions are more favorable here than elsewhere for their production If manufacturing syrup from them should become somewhat uni versal, 1t would mean many more dollars to Alabama cultivators md much lower prices for consumers. Why do not Ala bama farmers try 1t on a large, or at least, a liberal scale? There may be millions in if

MIR. BRYAN's ATTITUDE.
If Bryan Shall Bolt.

New York World.
 Reports continue to come from the West that MT. Bryan will bolt the Dem- ocratic Presidential ticket If the candi- date nominated at St, Louis shall be un- acceptable to him and the platform shall fail to reflect h1s views.
 Ii this Is really MT. Bryan's attitude the party may as well accept the bolt as inevitable. Judge Parker will surely be nominated for President, and MT. Bryan has repeatedly expressed his disapproval of New York's choice-as he has of evefy other candidate who can be even suspect ed of sanity and availability. The plat form will with equal certainty be conser- vat1ve and Democratic, without a streak Of Populism or Socialism or Free Silver ism Not a single Democratic conven- ton held this year has complied with Mir. Bryan's demand to "reafi1rm the Kansas City and Chicago platforms" It Is doubt ful if even his own State of Nebraska will do so.
 Two will-o'- -the-wisp campaigns ending in complete and humiliating defeat have more than satisfied the Democratic par tvs desire for MT. Bryan's leadership. If he had possessed a grain of sense or gratitude he would have perceived this fact and have kept himself modestly in tho background. Lacking these quali- ties, he came back from Europe and as- stunned to play the part of dictator to the ceeded to "croSs off the suggested can diGates who did not meet his royal ap- proval, and to instruct State conventions as to the only sort of platform that would be acceptab ble to him.
 The result has been a ridiculous fiasco No Democrat of consequence has paid the slightest heed to his orders or ap- peals. The nomination of a safe and sane candidate for President is already assured The platform will harmonize with the man and thus conform to the best traditions of the Democratic party.
 If in these circumstances Mir Bryan shall decide to bolt, the party can well afford to speed him with the cry, Good ricdance!" The advantage to be gained in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and other doubtful States at the East and in the Middle West by freeing the party from any sympathy with or responsibility for the Bryanism that is synonymous with Populism, would offset ten times over any possible losses in the granger or mining States. Indeed. alf these States, with the exception of Nevada have gone back to the Republicans. The South will vote solidly for Judge Parker, quite regardless of anything MT. Bryan may say or do.
 If MT. Bryan wants to bolt 1t is to be hoped that no one will try to obtain an injunction forbidding him

Haarst's Asylum.

Portsmouth (Va) Star.
 One feature of the benefciaries of Will Ham Randolph Hearst has escaped the commendation it should have. He has been commended for various and sundry beheficiaries, but he has not obtained the praise he should enjoy for the asylum be offers to cranks and political nuis- ances.
 Hearst has collected all of the rare specimens of political debris in the coun- try. branded them, filled their pockets with money, and sent them out to enter tain and amuse the people. They are scattered all over this country with the brands on them so that the people can recognize them before they open their mouths, provided their mouths are not already open as they usually are.
 Hearst has done better than the world has recognized. or than he knows. Think uf the thanks the world, or, at least this part of it, owes to Hearst for employing W.J. Bryan, John Temple Graves George Fred Williams, Tom Watson and a great swarm of less known but rampant blath- erskttes, who would be in all sorts of mischief, If they were not basking in the bounty of the candidate who thinks money talks2 Would 1t not be dreadful 1T all of those tireless political promot- CTS were turned loose to roam about the country on some impossible and annoying scheme of his own? Now that Hearst has all Of them employed the people know them and are able to hear them great distance of and then keep out of tne way. Hence Hearsts asylum is a blessing.

the matter of any further prosecutions
 against trusts. contenting themselyes
 with the theatrical display before the Supreme Court in. the Northern Pacinc case and refusing obstinately to inquire of the Attorney General whether he is going ahead with suits against the steel trust and the beef trust to mention no others. They have stood pat as against
 8 postofiice investigation. though the Democrats gave them every opportunity to put the Democratic Party in hole by showing the Postoffice Department is not rotten throughout. The Republicans were alarmed by the issue presented and stood pat. They have stood pat on the ship subsidy scheme, passing through the House in the last hours a bill raising a commission to inquire into the subject, Knowing full we'll the bill stood not the remotest chance of enactment into law. They have stood pat against every proposition looking to reciprocity in trade with any foreign country, though the party Is committed up to it's eyebrows in favor of freer reciprocal trade relations
 They. proved aggressive in only one case. Roosevelt confesses or rather 'defiantly declares he never meant to be caught mapping in Panama and that he got ready to back up the revolution the moment It occurred. The distinct achievement of the session is. therefore, due to their, President and over the whole of his conduct in that matter there plays the sinister light of an im- moral disregard of treaty obligations and the fundamental rights of States The Fifty-eighth Congress Is leaving Washington at an earlier day. than any Congress sitting for the long session, has left in nearly fifty years. It leaves smaller record of things done and big ger record of thingsNleft undone than any predecessor ever did. The Party in power evidently hopes to slip and slide over the next few months and land again in office. We shall see. The Demo- cratic Party is awake and the whole peo- pie are alert. We do not believe the Republican organization, in politics for profit and making a profit out of politics, will win approval this year and gain renewed lease on the House of Represen- tatives and the Presidency.

Bur HE woN,r sprAK.

If there is any punishment for per sistent and unusual cruelty. then we hold that Judge Parker Is laying himself liable to all its pains and penalties. The way he is narrowing the esteemed Re- publicans by his appropriate and disnified silence Is almost heart-hreaking, Tn seasonfand out they prod him and dare him to say something upon which they may comment and about which they may condemn him, but he steadfastiy and consistently refuses to gratify them. sydney Smith, speaking of Macaulay said He has occasional flashes of silence that make his conversation de- Iightful," and one of Piutarchs maxims leads Tt Is point of wisdom to be silent when occasion requires"
 The occasion for Judge Parker to be silent Is: right now as the Republicans would admit, if they were not in such desperate straits for some issue to light him on. They know perfectly well that if he were to talk freely about politics, they would at once declare that he was trying to talk himself into the nomina- tion. Nor Is that all, for they would jump on him for lowering the dignity of his high judicial position. and would declare that he.was dragging the ermine in the mud and mire of political parti- sanship. No one can doubt that this would certainly follow any determine tion on hls part to break the silence which honors him.
 And there's our whilom friend and leader, Bryan, who is worse put to it than the Republicans are because the Judges silence is a constant reproach to the Nebraskan. Bryah likes to talk. It has been charged against him that he doesn't know how to keep his tongue still. Possibly that is 'an exaggeration, but as talker he rarely leaves a vacan- cy. It makes little difference whether he has anything to say or not, he'll say it just the same. Of isilence that spolze'' he has no knowledge. The wise man of Israel tells us "there Is a time to be silent and time to speak," and the Roman philosopher. syrus. said 'He knows not when to be silent who knows not when to speak"
 MT. Bryan has not encountered the time to be silent for that isn't any part of his education, and that is why he can't abide Judge Parker The contrast is beyond him. There are some who are most attracted by their opposites, but he is not one of them. If he could just get Parker to say something that he could lay hold of. he could use it as a text for many scintillating sentences, but 1t isn't possible for him to get that satisfaction. Judge Parker main tains a silence that is expressive, op- pressive and depressive to one of Mr. Bryan's temperament, and for that there is no forgiveness, For himself 1t may be that he thinks, with Colley Gibber that losers must have leave to speak," and on that theory goes all the gaits of human speech, feeling that he has earend the right to say things.
 As for the Judge, he may console him. self for all the censure he gets from Bryan and the Republicans by the re- fiection and knowledge that his course Is approved by the best Democrats in the land,s and the men who will make him President, if it7-can be done His critics are doing him no hurt, he may rest assured of that.

all and 1t would have been far better for him to have had no platform at all and above all to have avoided an open breach with Tammany Hall. Tarnmany people are not looking for success this year, On the whole they would be just as we'll sat- isfed if the candidate should come from some other place besides New York. They want to give young Mcclellan a choice as Mayor of Greater New York, re-eiect hint make him Governor and then sweep him into the White House four years from now. Croker in England and Mur- phy in New York are alike in believing They figure 1t out that a Republican vic- tory is fin tho cards" They beiieve they coAd carry New York State for Cleveland or German or Gray, but they dates could carry any important Western States.

 In figuring on the chances of the differ ent candidates 1t must not be forgotten that the great Southern States will in all probability settle the nominee among &hemselves. During May.

 The sober second thought of the peo- pie has. however. thoroughly dissipated that idea and fear. The Democratic party will never descend to so low a plane as to have such a man as MT.

Where he once was supposed to have strength, it has apparently dissolved and passed off, as the mists of the morning disappear before or in the face of the rising sun.
