Water and Light plant had . busy
meeting Monday, and We learn
that considerable business con.
corning the management of the
plant was transacted. We believe
1t is time for the committee To
adopt rules and to have them en-
forced. We are told that some
people are burning their lamps all
night and are only paying the mid
night rate. An inspection should
be made occasionally, and those
found to allow their lamps to burn
all night should be made to pay
the all night rate, or on their re
fusal to pay the all night rate
should be cut off. The entire
plant is being run without any
rule, the whole burden falling up
on the shoulders of Mayor Four
net, who has done more than his
share. The Mayor has devoted
bis entire time and attention for
more than one year to see that the
plant was properly constructed
and put in successful operation,
and in this he has succeeded most
admirably, we have q first class
plant which is doing FIRST class
work. What we need now is q set
of rules for the government of the
entire plant and the adoption Of
some permanent system Of fuel, ip
order to lessen the trouble of our
worthy Mayor. who is giving all
his time to this plant which IL
running under bis supervision
without any rule or system adop-
ted by the committee. The time
has come for the adoption of such
rules in order to run the plant on
a permanent system and to relieve

done bis best to make success of
this plant and we believe he has
succeeded admirably we'll. and for
this good work, deserves the thanks

a GREAT CONVENTION.

THE OPENING SESSION of the
j Democratic convention at ST.
Louis was all that the most ardent
Democrat could wish it to be. To COM
pare it with the Republican convention
is to compare a living. breathing, full
blOOded man with a corpse, a lion with
a jackFabbit, a free people with an as

hour set for the opening The entrances
were damned with people anxious TO
be in their seats before the proceed

fell every seat in the great building
was occupied and wherever people
could stand they were standing.
Temporary Chairman John Sharp

that was expected from that able and
eloquent Democrat. His dissection Of
the Republican platform was as pol

been heard in a convention. Mr.. VIII

where lie buried the remains OF the
Greenbackers. the Free Sellers. the
Know Nothings. the Wings and all the
others that have preceded it.
a dozen years ago the Populist can

two votes in our electoral college. 1t
seemed on the high road to prosperity.
Its popular vote aggregated more than
a million 1t was a party to be reck-
oned with. Today there are none poor
enough to do 1t reverence The chair
man Of its national committee, once
elected to the United States senate by
the votes Of Populist legislators, has
forsworn it. At its national conven-
ton there were only a paltry 200 dele
gates.
The Populists have had no regular
candidate for the presidency since 1892.
IN 1895 they endorsed Bryan for pres
ident, but nominated one Of their own
for the vice presidency. In 1900 they
endorsed both Bryan and Stevenson.

PARKER TO BE- NAMED.

PRESIDENTIAL SENTIMENT in St.
Louis has now crystaliized to such
an extent that it is possible to predict
confidently that the presidential nom
inee win be Judge Alton p. Parker of
New York There may have been a
time when Judge Parker could have
been beaten, but that time seems to
have passed. The opposition was di-
vided against itself, 1t was Impossible
TO find d man upon whom the entire
anti-Parker strength could be eentered.
And Of ali the mon whose names have
been mentioned in connection with the
nomination, none stands higher with
the rank and file of all the Democratic
factions than Judge Parker,
A better selection than Judge Parker
could hardly be made. He is satisfac-
terry to the conservatives. he is salts
factory to the radicals. A consistent
Democrat all his life. Judge Parker has
never voted any other ticket. In 1895
when his environment was strongly
anti-Bryan, he remained true to his
principles and voted for the Nebraskan.
He took the same action again in 1899,
believing. as all loyal Democrats be-
Eeve, that while they may disagree
with some features of their party's
platform, there is still more good in
any Democratic platform than in any
Republican platform.
The readiness with which the Demo-
Gratis have adjusted and are adjusting
their differences at St. Louis. both as
to candidates and platform. is a hope
ful sign for success at the polls next
November. Tt Is an indication that this
year the Democrats are going to work
together. that the conservative and the
radical viii be found fighting side by

whether he is Judge Parker or some
other candidate that may accomplish
the seemingly impossible and secure
the nomination. The work of the con-
ventiOn will not satisfy every Demo-
cTat in the country. That would be
too much to expect. There will be some
soreness, perhaps some boiling, but
there won't be enough of this sort of
thing TO affect the result
The shrewdest Republican observers

than a fighting chance to win. The
