POLITICAL POINTS

enough, electoral votes in the East to
make majority of the college with the
addition of the ISL votes of the solid
South.
An important part of this program,
which is only now coming to light and
naturally is causing some perturbation
among the Republican leaders, has to
do with the outlook for tariff revision
Everyone who has inside information
and the frankness to use 1t knows that
the Republican platform made at Chica-
go was intended to indicate a purpose
to revise the tariff. This intention was
to be used in the West to satisfy the
consumers who have been demanding
tariff reform.
At the same time 1t was to be used in
the East and among manufacturers
generally as an ar4ument in favor of
the perpetuation of Republican domina-
tion in the nation. Tariff revision
Is inevitable by one or the other of the
parties"
The Republicans were preparing to
say to those who are interested in the
various schedules: Now which do
you prefer a revision by the Republi-
can party or by the Democrats: by your
friends or by your enemies?"
On the strength of this 1t was be-
lieved an old-fashioned tariff campaign
might be waged. with enthusiasm and
campaign subscriptions from the manu-
featuring centers greatly aiding the
Republican cause.

ROOSEVELT THE ISSUE.
Elliot Danforth Says Republican Party
Did Not Want Him.

Did Not Want Him.
Elliot Danforth in The Era Magazine.
The issue In this fight is Roosevelt
The Republican party Is in the ride
ulous position of having to nominate
candidate which 1t does not want. And
in this very circumstance lies the Sc
cret of the Democracy's chance to win.
In the face of the fact that he has,
during his term as President, been an
active and assiduous candidate for re-
election, a condition which would Of
necessity lead him ITO temper his acts
to accord with the calmer Judgment Of
his associates, and proceed in all things
with greater consideration and caution,
fearing to make an error that would be
fatal to his success before the Repub-
lican convention-in spite OF this cir
cumstance. which should bring out all
the conservatism of which nc is pos
sessed. the Republican President has
alarmed his own party He has shown
himself to be erratlc and headstrong
and. as the head of this great indus
trial and peace-loving nation. unreli-
able and dangerous. And ne has given
full evidence of this in the face of the
restraining influence which has been
all his official acts would be carefully
searched when he should appear be-
fore the people for their votes.
ImPeri9us arbtrarg and volcanic
authority of a representative Govern
ment., He has ignored the delegates of
the people and the Constitution OF the
United States. Without warrant he
has assumed the authority of a dictator
in time of war. This he has done
when he knew that he would shortly
be rigidly held responsible. What
would be the conduct of President
Roosevelt unrestrained. The perilous
international complications. the disas-
trous results Of damaging internal pol
icies which this question suggests to
the people. has made the Republicans
themselves afraid.

JUDGE PARKER's PERSONALITY.

Enough has been seen of Judge Par
ker's maneuvers and bearing since the
nomination to give assurance that he
is a candidate who will wear well. He
is solid, dignified and courteous. He
is in perfect command of himself, Is
never Jared or stirred out of the nor
NAL path of quiet self-respect. 1t ap-
pears too that he can make a tactful
speech. as witness his address to his
neighbors. 1t would have been on the
side of public speaking that his friends
would have felt most misgiving, be-
cause he has been SO long withdrawn
from the active practice of his profess
sion.
We do not anticipate that the JUS
tice will blossom out into a great ora
ton to charm and sway thousands. It
does appear though, that for the next
few months. whenever, and no matter
how often. he may be called upon to
address audiences he will have some
thing fit and pertinent to say and will
say 1t in downright man-fashion. He
has so far offered himself as a con-
trast to the bronco-buster in ali quail
tiles and as such he will continue we
doubt not to grow upon the country.

WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 1904.
TIME FOR ACTION.

We agree with rhe PhiladeIphiN
Record that the time for counsel is
past and that this is a time for ac-
tion. Batore the coayention met at
st. Louis there was much consultation
among the friends of good government
about what was best to be done and
how the various conflicting elements of
the Party could best be reconciled and
consolidated into a strong and har-
monious organization. And at St.
Louis there was mu,h augmentation,
much of it acrid and unpleasant Men
who honestly desired the success of
the Party differed as to candidates and
policies. All could not see or feel alike
and all could not get all they desired.
But the discussion as between Dem
ocrats is, or should be, closed The
candidates have been named and the
platform adopted. Both are good The
Party Is firmly fixed or a sound money
platform and no one who cares for sue
cess will disturb it. The American
people have decided that the gold
standard is right, certainly for the
present, and the fight must De made
with that understanding and on that
conviction. Any discussion of the
money question is superfluous. Any at
tempt to bring back the discredited
theories of four years ago will be
hurtful, If not ruinous, and the man
who attempts it is an enemy to De-
mocracy.
There has been enough of discussion
about issues. Any Democrat who is
unwilling to support the ticket and
platform Loyalty should get out of the
way. To promise support to the ticket
while denounclng 1t and the platform
is palpable treachery. To declare that
one will vote for the ticket and in the
same breath declare against the men
and the methods is much worse than
open opposition. Better an open, hon
est enemy than a doubtful and doubt
ing friend. Democrats know how to
fight their foes. They must learn how
to deal with traitors In the camp.
The issues are made up and they are
outside the Party. They are plain and
well defined. There is no need to mis-
apprehend the duty of Democrats. The
Republicans have made Democratic
duty plain. and have pointed out the
road for Democrats TO follow. There is
no need to mistake the way There is
no excuse for taking the wrong road
What is now TO be done is to quit look
ing backward and line UP for victory.

HOME pouNp CHIckENs.

When two years ago, President
Roosevelt hauled President Baer and
the other coal operators before him to-
gether with President Mitchell of the
miners union, there was much ap-
plause. He compelled a settlement of
the strike, not as the President, but as
an individual. his ad nirers explained.
1t is plain the office aud not the man
did that job. The man utilized the Of
fee for striking bit of dramaticism
and 1t would be uncandid to deny that
1t proved effective and was confessedly
boon conferred on tens of thousands
of consumers of anthracite coal. What
might have been expected and what
has come to pass?
The Colorado miners have been in
trouble. They found 1t necessary to
kill few dozen non-union men to
teach all vagabonds of their kind they
could not work for hire without the
consent of the union. The State then
took after the union miners and
these as promptly run to their great
and good friend, Roosevelt. He as
promptly turned them down. But sure
1t was none of his business as Presi-
dent how the miners Jared in Colorado.
Neither was 1t his business to inter-
NEEDLE as President in the Pennsyl-
vania strike. He did this, Senator
Spooner says, as an individual. Then
why not interpose as an individual at
Cripple Creekf
Yet again the Pennsylvania miners
are in convention and they send COM
mittee to see the President, just why
no one knows unless they had accus-
toned themselves to look on him as a
benevolent despot who cares for great
and small alike irrespective of his
sworn obligation to see the laws faith
fully executed. The delegates, how
ever, find they are benighted and they
are CURLY turned away from his
door. Why? Is there any sufficient
reason for so summary n dismissal of
these men from his house? Has he not
elected to play in the role of individ-
ual fTeSluent, ana compose all ulHeT-
ences outstanding between capital and
labor? He has done precisely that
thing and Wanted his achievement as
such. Where now is his consistency?
There is no consistency in him. What
are your principles?" was asked Arte-
mus Ward. principles, be ID: am
in the show business" Roosevelt is in
the show business and yet strongly
enough dislikes encores. He is certain
to be pestered all summer with invita-
lions to settle strikes, for the strikers
seem to be coming in uncommon flood
at the North Yet he will not dare open
his mouth on the subject His chick
ems are coming home to roost and he
likes the misbegotten creatures as lit
tie as any other man would whose
vanity had induced him to do a fetch
ing but dangerous thing only to find
himself overwhelmed with demands to
repeat the performance over and over
again.
By the way, If labor has the right
to call on him for help at any time
why not capital? Why not abolish
courts and legislatures and turn the
control of affairs over to the benevo-
lent despot of Oyster Bay?

CHOKING CATARRH CURED.
Your Money Back If Hy0mei Does No,
Cure You.

Use Hyomei and be cured of ca
tarrh," is what all who have tried it
for that disease say to their friends
1t is the easiest thing in the world
to stop catarrh at Its beginning II you
use Hyomei. Just breathe the health
giving, balsamic air for few minutes
and your catarrh will be cured. In the
worst cases of this disease, chronic
or acute, Hyomei used four or five
times day is all that is needed to soon
effect cure.
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
800 and comprises a hard rubber peck
ct inhaler. a bottle of Hyomei and a
dropper. The inhaler will last a life
time; and additional bottles OF Hyomei
can be obtained for soc.
In this city and neighboring towns.
there are hundreds who can testify
TO the remarkable powers of Hyomei
to cure catarrh. Many of the staunch-
est friends of this remedy today be-
gan its use with little hope that they
would be cured, but as E. G. Fowler
offered to refund the money If 1t did not
cure, they decided TO try il on that plan.
and were soon restored to health.

Plan to Abandon Indiana.
Indianapolis Und.) Special to n,
York Herald,


Many Democrats here believe that
effort Is to be concentrated by the
Eastern leaders on Illinois, Wisconsin,
Delaware. West Virginia and other
States where the Republicans are either
in factionSl fights or where their ma
1orities are not so steady as they have
been in Indiana in recent years.
1t was said today that in discussions
at st, Louis the Eastern leaders spoke
of this State as being reliably Repub-
lican and seemed determined not to look
upon 1t as affording any ground for
hope for the party, especially as Sena-
tor Fairbanks had been nominated for
Vice President and all the surface in
dications pointed to Republican har-
mony.

sert that Indiana is not a Republican
state. and that with the party CEN

SENATOR LODGES CASE.

Senator Lodge Is as nearly the boss"
of Massachusetts, as a man ever gets to
be in that land of Goldfish and pump
kin pies. He is a good organizer, has
large wealth at his command and
while wonderfully dull as a writer has
sufficient standing in the world of let
tiers, to please the book -admiring ele-
ment of his native State. He has for
ten years ruled his party there as
absolutely as Plat in New York or
Quay in Pennsylvania. Just now the
Senator has a revolt on his hands that
is growing so rapidly as to give him
and his friends concern. The Massa-
chusctts Republicans want a recipro-
city treaty with Canada. The Boston
Chamber of Commerce is obtaining sig
natures at the rate of thousand day
to Il petition committing Republicans
squarely to better trade relations with
our northern neighbors. These Repub-
licans are pledged to go into the pri-
maries and to vote for nc man who will
not support this liberal policy. and if
necessary they will carry the fight
right on to Washington. voting for no
man for Congress who refuses help.
This makes it certain Lodge will have
to fight for his own political existence.
He defeated the proposition of recipro-
city with Canada before the last Re-
publican State Convention. but. nothing
daunted, the independent. thinking ele-
ment are going right after his own
personal scalp. 1t will be open to him
to say if they win that he has been
on their side all the time and that
he was only waiting to have an express
sion from his dear people.
