AS OTHERS SEE US.
Amer ican Customs Probably Seem as
Odd to Foreigners as Theirs Do
to Us.

According to our American stan
dard many foreign customs appear
very quaint and curious: Every day
upon our streets we see ideas ex-
pressed that brings to our lips ready
laugh To the Italian or Slav,@ with
their love for gaudy dress and display
of cheap jewelry, our sober apparel
must appear very sombre by compari-
son, and we probably cut as ridicu-
lous figureain their eyes as we fire.
quently picture them, according to
our light. Watching an Italian tuner
al the other day, were several Amerl-
can girls, who noted with interest
what we have all noticed many times;
the gay roses and nodding plumage
of every imagina BILE shade and color
on the awkwardly worn hats, and the
contrasting skirts and waists, no two
of which had ever been conceived in
the same zone or cline. Human
they are, though, with feelings as fine
as ours, and the tender sympathy and
respect shown the little dead child
and it's parents was very touching.
No alien shand was allowed to touch
the tiny casket when the hour for
burial arrived, for the father, mother
and two sisters gathered around and
reverently bore their burden to the
hearse, where it was carefully pushed
inside. In the meantime, the friends
stood around in respectful silence and
later when the procession started,
fell in behind, and a large number in
deed accompanied this mite to its last
resting place.

November, and the memory of the
old dispensation is to be no more.
Hence the odor of fresh paint and
varnish.
But paint and yarnish are not al
ways used to accentuate newness.
More often their mission is to hide the
marks of wear and age, and the pre-
ponderance of evidence is that this
is what they really mean in the pres
ent instance. The newness that the
Democratic party boasts is only We
neer, whatever the enthusiasts may
say. Their issues have done yeoman
service for the better part of two
decades. Their candidate is the man
of David B. Hill, who is already being
drummed out Of camp for his sins Of
the past. The safe and sane" Gle
ment for which the Mosaic rule has
now been set aside was but yesterday
in the front when the party went down
into Egypt. The whole structure
is the one that has weathered the
storms of a generation, and all the
pigment in the world will not hide its
identity. 1t lacks yet but one thing,
the sign: Fresh Paint: Look out!"-

Fresh Paint: Look Out!

The Democratic National head
quarters were opened yesterday in
New York No formalities marked
the occasion, but there was not lit
tie astisfaction over the fact that new
offices were ready at last. Aside
from this the odor of fresh paint and
varnish, it is announced, was the only
thing to make the event at all out of
the ordinary. 1t was only natural
that the quarters should have been
made spick and span before the Ma
tional committee began it's occupa-
ton of them, but it is just possible
that there was unsupported signifi-
canoe in the prominence OF the paint
and varnish.
1t has been the ceaseless cry of the
Democrats since the ST. Louis con-
vention that a new party was born
there. The heresies of the past, the
country has teen told over and over
again, have been expunged and new
element. an element that is safe and
sane, "A has come into control. A new
candidate has been put forward for.

The West Virginia Democratic
State. convention is deadloeked on the
question Of negro disfranchiserent.
From o'clock till ten tonight it was
held up by the committee on resoiu-
tions, and at that hour adjournment
was taken till ten o'clock Tomorrow
morning. Under the rules adopted
nothing else can be done till the plat
form is adopted. The entire southern
end Of the State is solid for declara-
tion Of the pIatforn<in favor of white
supremacy and the disfranchisement
Of the negro. Their representatives
are demanding it and Senator Henry
G. Davis is opposing it lest the adop-
ton of such a platform by his State
should lose votes for the national
ticket in the northern States. SENA-
TOR DAVIS is AS MUCH IN FAVOR

Which Was Right?

Charles w. Goodyear, Of Buffalo, a
man of whom Grover Cleveland spoke
recently in the highest terms as an
ideal Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, said on August 5th, of q charge
and regular standing, because he had
twice bolted Bryan:
Il have never sought to conceal the
fact that voted against Mr.. Bryan,
and if l had it all to do over again I
should vote against him.
Il voted for Mr.. Mckinley for sew
eral reasons. ! believed that some Of
the planks of the Chicago platform.
if they ever should become effective.
would be ruinous to the country, and
that the best way to defeat MT. Bryan
and the principles he stood for, was to
vote for Mr.. Mckinley and I did it.,
and I don't want any misunderstood
ing about it, either.
"If should decide to become can
didate I'll make the hardest kind of
fight for the nomination that l
know how to make, but l won. stand
for any lying OF concealment as to
whom have voted for or what prin-
ciples have been willing to accept
as good American Democratic doc
trines.''
That is manly and straightforW ard
declaration and it represents accu-
rately the attitude of what is known
as the Cleveland Democracy. in the
State of New York. How does it
bear on Judge Parker's position i'll
the past? Here is his definition of
that position as he himself has writ
ten it down:
my Dear Danforth: 1t was entirely
right for you to bring to my attention
the question which the sincere
you can say to you frankly and
sincerely that you can assure them
that 1 voted for the last National
nominees of the Democratic party, rs
have voted for all the regular Dem
ocratic nominees since had a vote.
Yours very sincerely, Alton B. Par
ker
Sept. %, 1897
| 1t is understood also that Parker
voted for Bryan3in 1900. In fact he
said nothing to indicate that he was
not still faithful to Bryan and silver
till he sent his telegram to the ST.
Louis convention, after he had been
nominated. If Mr., Goodyear's posi-
ton is manly and straightforward be-
| fore he has received a nomination, il
he was right from Democratic point
of view in boiling Bryan in 1896 and
| 1900, what is to be said of Parke1's
acts in those years and OF his conduct
this year? Can Goodyear be praised
without rebuking Parker? Would
Parker, after Goodyear's statement
favor his nomination as the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor? II not,
why not?

does the Register really in its heart
want such prosperity? Didn't it get
enough of that brand or see enough
of it under Grover Clevelands last ad-
nainistration to do it a lifetime? Does

not long for the Democratic kind,

The Suffrage Plank.

In their State convention few
days ago the West Virginia Democrats
had a plank in their platform as
originally framed calling the United
States a white mans government
of the platform as adopted by the con-
vention. 1t was dropped as a conces-
sion to Vice Presidential Candidate
Davis, who said it would be unwise to
bring up this issue now. And yet Da-
Wis, in an address made a few weeks
before the ST. Louis convention, used
language of the same sort that the
West Virginia white mans govern
ment" men employed. Nobody took
any notice of Davis words at the
time, because he was an obscurity.
but after the ST. Louis convention
took him up on account of the Doodle
fund which he would be, able to raise
for the ticket this language began to
have some significance.
But the ancient Davis is not quite
so courageous as a Vice Presidential
candidate as he was as an ordinary
citizen. He sees that such freak talk
as he and some of his other Southern
friends indulge in about the suffrage
is calculated to make a solid North.
No amount of bowling that this is
white mans government" could turn
West Virginia to the Democrats, while
it would make every State outside of
the solid South overwhelmingly Re-
publican. The ancient Davis sees
this now very clearly, and he has
more interest in this fact than he
had before the ST. Louis convention
put him up as a campaign fund pro-
wider.
The truth is that the Republican
National conventions suffrage plank
was a neatly laid plank for the en-
envy. as the Globe-Democrat pointed
out at the time. Everything that the
Republicans said in that plank is In
dorsed not only by every Republican.
but by practically every Northern.
Democrat. I'VE favor such Congress
sional action as shall determine
whether, by special Determinations.
the elective franchise in any State has
been unconstitutionally limited, and
if such is the case we demand that
representation in Congress and in the
ately reduced, as directed by the
Constitution of the United States"
This was a challenge to the Demo-
cratic convention which was to meet
little later at ST. Louis, but which
that body did not dare to take up.
.Centenarian Davis. too, is wise in de-
termining to drop this suffrage sub
ject.-Globe-Demo

When will the political campaign be-
gin in West Virginia? 1t is true the
Democrats are limp and helpless like,
but let's give 'em few knocks to let
EN- know there is punishment after
death.-Pa State Journal.
The campaign will begin in Marion
county on and after next Tuesday, on
which day the Democrats will name
a ticket. 1t would be too cruel to
'let 'em know there is punishment
after DEATH as they are punished
enough now with the knowledge that
they are going to be knocked into
smithereens in November

Democrats from this part OF the
State and Conservative Democrats
from all partsyof the State are glad
that the plank favorine the.sdisfran-
chisement of the negro has been
thrown out of the party platform. In
the first place it's bad politics, but
infinitely more important than that,
it's all wrong. And the advocates Of
the measure see that it's wrong. 1t
was not the belief that it was poor
politics. that defeated this measure.
Democrats don't retreat for that rea-
son. Those favoring the measure
simply realized that they were wrong.
And not half those favored the lily
white plank, that were said to do SO.
They were but few in number. There
was never any real danger of the
adoption of the plank. The Demo
cratic party, true to it's beliefs and
principles, merely listened to opin-
ions of its members. The measure
was defeated because there were not
enough who favored it.-Morgantown

Hat Are Parker's Principles
New YoTk Press.l Ss,ss
Twice now ME- Parker has told the
Democrats that he regards the gold.
standard as II firmly established In
his celebrated telegram the1d back
until after he was nominated he first
gave this information; in his speech
Of acceptance he repeats 1t; possibly
in his formal letter (for he appears
to like the phrase) he will reiterate it.
But Mr. Parker has not yet told
the voters OF the United States what
he thinks of the gold standard as
principle.
Everybody, Of course, regards the
gold standard as established. Ever
Mr.. Bryan would admit that fact just
as he and everybody regards Mr.
Roosevelt as President of the United
States and Grover Cleveland as an
ex-President. But when is Mr.. Par
ker going to tell the people whom he
asks to vote for him what he thinks
the money standard Of this coun-
try ought to be? Does he still be-
lieve that we really ought to have
fifty-cent silver dollars, and is he yet
willing to stand for the gold standard
though he thinks the silver standard
is right and though he twice voted for
it? Or did he really believe the gold
stan dard was right when he voted
against it in 1896 and 1900? Was he
willing then to vote against his gold
standard principles, that he might get
in the Bryan line for the Presidency,
or is he willing now to act against his
silver standard principles that he may
become and be President?
Neither we nor the American voters
ask these questions because of any
fear that the gold standard is not
really fact. Everybody agrees with
Mr. Parker that it is. But when the
great mass of citizens vote on man
they want to know what he believes
about great principles. They want 70
know if MT. Parker voted against his
principles in 1896 and 1900 or is act
ing against his principles now. They
want to know if he is without any
money standard principles at all. For
if Mr.. Parker, believing the gold
standard to be a right principle and
voted against it, or, still believing
the silver standard to be right
principle will act against it, the
American people cannot have conf
dence that he would stand up for any
principle if his political interests
might thereby suffer, and they must
decide that he would permit any
economic or National wrong, what
ever his own beliefs, if his political in
terests might thereby benefit.
This, we repeat, is not a question Of
the gold standards condition, to
which Mr.. Parker has confined his
declaration. 1t is question of the
mental and moral condition of the
Democratic candidate, who asks the
American voters to elect him Presi-
dent of the United States. They
want to know about it. He must en-
plain the matter. somehow, or they
must Judge that he cannot be trust
ed in anything to have his actions
governed by principles!
