Good For Carmack.

Birmingham News.
 Senator E. w. Carmack, of Tennessee, who, more than any one man, was re- sponsible for committing that State to free silvef. madN a very notable address recently before the Iroquois Club of Chi caEO. in which he expressed more for cloly than has yet been done the plat fcim upor which Democrats are to unite this year. Senator Carmack made no recantation. He Is not a pesslmist He has not assumed tine sackcloth nor does he deluge his Hyperion locks with ashes. He has no apologies to make for his course, nor does he demand any from those Democrats who differed from him. On this point Senator Carmack says:
 "The spirit of the Democratic party is in the declaration of independence. Its creed is written in the limitations of the constitution. It Is above all things the guardian of constitutional liberty, the party of constitutional free government. In this campaign 1t calls for the services Of every man who believes in the doc- trines and principles of Thomas Jeffer- son. no matter how he may have voted in the past. l shall certainly suffer no man to prescribe me or to question my Democracy because in the last two con- tests I stood by the nominees and the platform of the Democratic party. 1 would prescribe no man who in this cam paign Is ready to stand by the nominees and the platform of the Democratic party.
 When certain parliamentary bigots sought to enact their own religious doc trines Into law, with heavy penalties upon all who would not accept every article of tEer creed, Cromwell declared that he would suffer no such prescription of great body of his soldiery who had been fighting for the common cause against the usurpation of the king and for the rights Of the people.
 Fellow citizens. the Democratic party Will not, for any differences upon an economic question. drive from it's ranks a single man who Is ready to fight with us in this great battle to restore now and preserve forever the government of our fathers"
 Sentiments like these get votes Ger tanly none question the Tennesseean's party loyalty in the past, A self respect ing man, he neither offers nor requires humiliating concessions. He breaches the doctrine of get-together in a way to at- tract converts. He shows that he is wise. conservative, as well as a brilliant advocate. Senator Carmack Is of the in- tense type, but age and experience are maturing in him the magnificent quail ties of brain and heart he has always possessed. Never has he appeared to bet ter advantage. than now. Never has he done his party so great service as when he counsels moderation, tolerance and good feeling. There was a great deal more in Senator Carmack's speech than this appeal for harmony, but If there had been nothing else 1t would have been notable utterance. His platform was a bugle call to Democrats. His enuncia- ton of the issues is an inspiration to principles. The country long since learned that Carmack is eloquent His speech before the Iroquois Club demon strated he Is also wise.

he does his best. He roared for Bryan. and the Republican majority in Massa- chusct.s jumped from 26.0O0 In 1892 10 l76.- VR ir 1@6 That was doing pretty we'll even for George. To raise the vots against him and his candidate to nearly seven times what it was four years be- fore is pretty good for George.
 Just now George is making the weikiE and other things ring for Hearst. He made a speech in Springfield one night lest week to what he calls the true l'emocrats,' meaning, of course, the fsithful few who have descended by easy grades from Bryan to Hearst. They are the only true and genuine Democrats of whom he has any Knowledge. All others gre base mutations. not to be spoken -of otherwise than one would speak or wolves which are trying to break into the fold. A man who Is not for the Kansas City platform for Hearst ana Salt River, is fraud, that's just what he is. He told the faithful i've now Eave a great opportunity" meaning that we have an opportunity to nominate 4 man whose heart beats in sympathy with us." whatever that may mean. What George is doing is trying to increase the Republican majority n Massachusetts, He could run 1t up to 20,005, at the very least. with Hearst as the nominee. Pos sibly he might make 1t unanimous.

The Case of MT. Majors.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.

New Orleans IirneS-DemOcrat.
 Thomas J. Majors has for many years been a member of the New Orleans Cot ton Exchange, and has been during all that aime one of the foremost operators in . South's chief staple. MT. Majors was .h the historic syndicate which took actual delivery of more than 300.000 bales from the New York bears in the summer of l903 and thus routed a veteran army of manipulators. MT. Majors Cor. perhaps we should say. the firm of which he was then the head) failed during the crisis of 1895, but the suspension was temporary, and all creditors were soon paid dollar for dollar. His personal character Is above reproach and his present wealth is known to be large.
 Not very long ago Mir. Majors applied for membership in the New York Cotton Exchange. The application was favorably / reported by the Committee on Member Managers. Everybody hereabout marvel ed at the taboo. and the wonder deepencd into amazement when The New York Times frankly declared that the episode simply crystalized a resolve to have no more bull manipulators In the ranks of the metropolitan body. Such a reason Is worse than no reason at all.
 We should be the last to deny the right. and should be the first to affirm the duty. which an exchange owes to the public. The character and standing of applicants should be scrutinized with infinite care, so that no desperadoes may have the op- portunity to play fast and loose with other peoples funds. But an exchange is not mere club, after all, and the general welfare requires that operators of all shades of opinion be represented around the Rings" where prices for a basic commodity are made. What would not be said, and rightly said, if the New Orleans Cotton Exchange should reject an applicant, simply because he chanced to be an inveterate bear? MT. Majors has. within the last few weeks, beeu elected a member of the Chicago Board of Trade. In the light of recent devel- opments concerning the Sully crash, we
 may be permitted to doubt whether New York can give moral instruction to the Pits" which set the pace for the trade of the world.
 The South has long believed that the New York Cotton Exchange was nothing more than a mighty hammer to pound values on which the prosperity of mill lions of producers depends. The hammer has not worked we'll during the last four or five years, because natures irresist!- ble forces have been on the other side. Nevertheless, the will has been there. though the way has been blocked. The members of the New York Cotton Ex- change may say, with Commodore Van derbilt. The public be damned,'.' but thcy will surely find that the earth is not theirs nor the fullness thereof MT Ma jors has not been hurt, nor has any real stigma been put upon him; but his self , constituted censors will presently dis cover that they have dealt themselves a fatal blow. True criticism, like true char not spent force, even in the city by the IJndsnu

 Why should any one attribute either the saying or the policy to Jackson? He was an intense party men. it :s true. but be did not carry his partisanship so far as to refuse to allow any but Demo- crats to hold official position. It was William L. Marcy who, referring to cer- tain men said: They see nothing wrong in the, rule that to the victors belong the spells of office." We are not sure that he approved of such a rule.

cRoNIE,s CASE.

General Cronje will be in command at St. Louis of a body of Boer veterans. who are to give daily an exhibition of mimic Boer- British battle, The field of battle wiA be as nearly like one that cronje was engaged upon in South Africa as it can be made to look. A British contingent, also veterans of the Boer war, will take hand to ensure the pictures being aes life-like as possi- tle. The Boers have brought over many women and children and some zulus and Swazis, specimen of the blacks that were engaged by each side to do man ual labor during the war. All the white contingent hope to find a home some- where in the United States after tho Exposition closes.
 The Boers at home have looked on the whole scheme with grave disfavor. They evidently regret deeply Cronie's decision to go into the theatrical busi- ness. They contend he is degrading his compa uiots in the Transvaal and cheap ening their heroic struggle for independ- cnce against the British. They are hop ing even yet that the ''Boer show" may be abandoned
 Cronje. on his part. regrets the ne:- essity. as he considers 1t. of resorting to the means he has, in order to make money. He is, however, poor and is growing old. He trusts to the charity of the world not to misjudge him. For the world itself, 1t will doubtless pay so much a head to enter the grounds where. the exhibition Is to be given. enjoy it and go their way with little thought of the fine and noble traditions of the pro- longed and embittered contest in which Cronje was so heroic a figure. In so far as the proprieties are concerned, there is no doubt. Cronje is sacrificing some thing in playing at war, and yet no one can begrudge him his livelihood for his last years earned as he has determined to earn it.
 There is one man in the United States who cannot throw rocks at Cronjc. Roosevelt, lined up his regiment in Cuba and executed a mock charge up real hill against an imaginary foe, so that photographer could get a spirited picture of the great hero and his men in action That showed an enterprise b. side which Cronje's modest work paies 1 it's intellectual fires.

Bolting Saints and Bolting Sinners.

mdcOn 1eleErapn.
 Not content with clamoring for de- elaration of principles from Parker in the hope that he may give them an op- portunity to bounce upon him and show that his brand of Democracy Is not quite according to their model. the op- ponents of the dignified New York jur- ist are making frantic efforts to prove that he has been a bolter.
 Whether bolting Is an unpardonable sin depends, it appears, on whether the former bolter is now for Hearst or for some one else. If he is for Hearst, his sin is forgiven; If he stubbornly asks for TA)tner nominee. he is damned. Some of the. loudest of the Hearst meg aphones have a very had record for bolting. but through their devotion to the yellow journalist they have become purified from sin and with consistent self righteousness can point the finger of scorn and condemnation at bolters on the other side of the fence. This they have been doing daily with brazen assump. tion of superior virtue that is quite re- markahle.
 When they rush bowling into Judge Parkers record. however. they run dowr an inconvenient snag. The same charge was made by his enemies when Judge Parker was a candidate for chief judge of the Court of Appeals of New York ir 1897. and when State ChaGInan Danfortt called his attention to the campaign fabrication and asked for a pointed re- ply, he answered as follows: !. My Dear Danforth: It was entirely right of you to bring to my attention the question which the sincere friends of MT Bryan are pressing upon you. l can say to you frankly and sincerely that you can assure them that voted for the last national nominees of the Democratic par ty, as I have voted for all of the regu- lar Democratic nominees since I had a vote. Yours very truly,
 Alton B. Parker
 September 22 1897.
 This will satisfy the most exactins regular Democrat, but it will not satis- fy the Hearst claqueurs, for it is the business to continue the uproar for a stated time notwithstanding its evident useleSsness.

A Striking Comparison.

New York Sun.
 The Representative in Congress from the Eleventh District of New York has sat in the House-or has been supposed u sit therefor just los working days. The paucity of references by the Con- gressional Record to his presence and legislative performances during this period of five months is shown in the subjoined summary:

Speeches delivered ........................ 0 Incidental remarks .. .................... 0 Motions and points of order ............ 0 Reports made .......................... Q Petitions and papers presented ......... o Resolutions introduced ................... l biHs introduced '''''.'''.'''.'....''.''' Q Tea or nay votes ...................,.....6 6
 The infrequency of the mention of MT. Hearst's name in the official journal might be explained on the theory that he shrinks from public notice. It might be supposed that he dislikes to see his name in type; even in the highly re- spectable type employed by the Govern ment Printing Office.
 The statistical exhibit however, is not complete without this additional table. recording the several appearances of the Hon. William R. Hearst's name on five pages of single number of one of his own newspapers, the New York American, of Thursday last:

Just as was to be expected, the grab pension law of the President isn't enough to satisfy some of them, and one writes thus to The Nebraska State Journal:
 I would like to know why the differ ence that a man that served ninety days and nothing the matter with him. except that he is 6 years old. he must have $6 per month as an age disability. but the man that went out in 1881 and served three or four years and was dis abled to the amount of $12 per month. and he is 62 years old, but he don't get any benefit of the age disability. Is this fair?
 In short. he wants all who now draw disability pension to also get the age pension as soon as they get to it Some of them will not be satisfied with even the doubling up, however.
