DEMOCRATS IN A MIDDLE.
Are in Such a Confused Condition
They Take No Notice of the
Federal Constitution.

There is no mystery about the source
Of the present weakness of the opposi-
ton to the election of President Roose-
welt for another term, remarks the New
York Sun. That weakness is due chief
ly to the failure of the democracy, as
embed in primary and state conven-
tions, to formulate distinctly the is
sues they wish presented at ST. Louis.
The failure to consider and present
the constitutional and economic prin-
ciples on which the democracy desires
the national government to be conduct
ed has given to noisy demagogues their
opportunity. So long as their opinions
were uttered only in yellow newspapers
here was no urgency for refuting them,
but primary and state conventions of
democratic voters are serious and i'm
portant affairs. If in them there are no
committees on resolutions, no discus
sion of issues, fair inference is that the
representative democrats there assem-
bled take little or 10 interest in demo-
cratic principles.
1t will not do to plead in extenuation
bllob blO ldNlOIdl NtHllOu ID lHt DldCG
for issues and that state conventions
re TO keep silent. That is not tradition
al democracy, since national con-
ventions began; and, besides, if state
conventions meddle with candidates,
why not with the issues those candidates
are to represent?
The feeling in the several states re-
garding principles cannot be definite or
strong if the local democratic conyen-
tions are dumb
The situation is very serious when
democrats in the several states do not
manifest an interest in the federal con-
stitution and in such an Interpretation
of the powers it has impaired to con-
gress and the president as the demo-
cratic party has contended for ever since
1t has existed
The usurpation of power by congress
and the president has never been so out
rageous as since McKinley's death.
What is needed most Of all is to put
the ship of state back again on the
right tack and to compel it to be steered
hereafter as the constitution has pre-
Scribed.
Give back to the state governments
| and prohibit to the national govern
ment, the regulation of things which
| Marshall declared do not come under
national cogniZance and all will be
well. Difficulties over corporations
trusts, labor, capital. and interstate
commerce, as the yellow newspapers
present them, will then disappear from
| congress. and will trouble it no more
than marriage and divorce. The three
democratic justices of the supreme
court have recently, by the vivid pen of
Justice White declared the boundary
line between national and state affairs
Does the democracy intend to vindicate
or repudiate, that boundary line? What
will the coming democratic state con-
vention of New York proclaim in regard
| to that vital issue?

IN HONOR OF ROOSEVELT.
Notable Achievements of the Repub-
lican Administration Under
His Guidance.

1t is the fashion in circles opposed to
this administration 10 characterize any
happening that makes for the success
of the presidents plans as "Roosevelt's
luck" This contemptuous way of be-
littling the man and accepting his
measures may afford comfort to his
detractors, but does not deceive the peo-
pie a particle, says the Cleveland Leader.
There are five conspicuous events of the
Roosevelt administration that cannot
possibly be catalogued as lucky" nor
can there be any minimizing of the
credit attaching thereby to the chief
executive Reference is made to the
following:
The inauguration of the federal suit
by which merger of competing lines of
railway was shown to be against pub
lie morals and illegal.
The settlement of the great strike
in the anthracite coal regions.
Recognition of the republic Of Pana-
ma and the certainty. thereby obtained,
of the speedy completion of transisth-
mian canal.
Evacuation of Cuba, thus carrying out
a national promise the world never took
seriously until its earnest honesty was
proved by the event.
Action by the United States that pre-
vented foreign commercial dominance
in China, if it did not, indeed, preclude
dismemberment of the ancient empire.
To these might be added the inaugu-
ration of the general staff system in the
army. the investigation of the post Of
flee department and the punishment OF
proved criminals connected herewith,
the solution, by arbitrators of this ad-
ministration's appointing, of the vexed
Alaskan boundary question, and the
pacification of the Philippines by the
adoption of wise measures recommend
ed by Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet or in
augurated by the president himself.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been president ~
years. We submit that the above cal
endar of accomplishment is one to be
appealed to as an index of faithfulness,
capacity and patriotism.

A Diver Is Imprisoned fin 10 Feet of
Water Futile Efforts to Rescue Him.

Water Futile Efforts to Rescue Him.
Boonton, \. j., April 13.-William
Hoar, diver from New York who
was imprisoned in 20 feet of water in
the Jersey City reservoir here Mon
day, was yesterday afternoon given
up for dead by other divers who had
come to aid in rescuing him. The
divers worked until, under the intiu-
ence of the high wind, the waves on
the lake caused the raft on which the
air pump rested to pitch so that it
was impossible longer to supply the
men below with air. Then the pump
was removed to the stone dam and,
on the possibility that Hoar is still
alive, air is still being sent down to
him.
1t is possible that Hoar's wonder
full constitution enabled him to hold
out until noon, as it seemed that he
signalled feebly up to that time. In
the rescue work the last diver to be
brought to the surface was uncon-

When he had been revived he said
that he thought Hoar had been dead
for some time. The first Of the rescu-

LONG VOYAGE ENDED.
Five Torpedo Boat DestrOyers Arrive
at Manila After II Journey of 900
Miles.

Washington, April 15.-The secre-
tary of the navy was informed yes
terday by cable of the arrival at
Cavite of the first torpedo flotilla,
consisting of the torpedo boat de-
stroyers Decatur, cambridge, Barry,
Dale and Chauncey, under convoy Of
the cruiser Buffalo, concluding a
cruise of nearly $4,000 miles. This
cruise covered a period of four
months and extended over half way
around the globe, which is the long
est run ever made by vessels of this
type. The fotilla started from Hamp-
ton Roads for the Philippine islands
on December 12 and made the trip
without an accident.
This successful trip has demon
strated that torpedo boats are capa-
BILE of long sea voyages under their
own steam, feat that formerly was
considered impossible. These small
vessels were sent to the Philippines
to serve as the coast defense squad
ron of the islands.

Cat's-PaW Hearst.

There is but little reason to doubt that
the Hearst movement is a conspiracy
against the democratic party devised and
fostered for its overthrow by Bryan,
whose resentment against the most loyal
and patriotic representatives of the de-
mocracy who refused him their support
in both his presidential campaigns is as
virile and wrathful to-day as it was in
the hour of his last ignominious defeat
in 1900. Hearst does not know it, yet all
the same he is as presidential candidate
the mere cats paw of Bryan, for whom
he is pulling the sweet chestnuts of re-
venge out of the fire.-Philadelph
Ledger.
UyIt is announced on behalf of Judge
Parker that should that gentleman be
nominated by the democrats for presi-
dent and elected David B. Hill will ac-
cept no office under him. That state
ment seems to point pretty directly to
the Parker hCodoo.-Troy Times.
ETThe Hearst candidacy has had at
least one gratifying outcome. BY its
leprous quality it has created a kind Of
sanitary alarm in all parts of the coun-
try. Even Col. Bryan, who stands in
desperate fear of being unhorsed as a
party leader, hesitates at the brink of n
repulsive yellow alliance in his extrem-
