THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Now that 1t is all over, 1t Is fitting
to say that never, perhaps, in the his-
tory of news association services, was
such splendid and complete work done
as that of the Associated Press at the
National Democratic Convention In St,
Louis, ended yesterday morning. There
was nothing cut and dried regarding
the proceedings at st. Louis. On the
contrary. the even tener of routine
was often disturbed by occurrences
dramatic and at times sensational
Throughout it all Hon. Melville E.
Stone, general manager, and Colonel
Charles S. Diehl, assistant general
manager, and their most capable corps
of correspondents and operators on the
scene, kept the story of the conven-
tion's work fully abreast of the events
there Transporting, and enabled the
newspapers so fortunate and progress
sive as to be members Of the Associated
Press. to inform their readers fully and
reliably and quickly of all that was
done. The men who gathered the
news. the men who sent 1t over the
wires, and the men who received II are
each and all entitled to great credit.
And as to the organization itself, the
Associated Press has merely upheld its
undisputed record as the greatest news
gathering and news disseminating syn
dictate upon earth.

MONDAY, JULY II, 1904.
HENRY G.. DAVIS.

The selection of Hon. Henry G. Davis
for running mate OF Judge Parker, may
have been a surprise, but In point of
ability and executive capacity he
measures up with the best men in the
country. He was born in Maryland
nearly eighty-one years ago, but is to-
day as active as most men of 60. He
has been a resident of West Virginia,
since before the territory comprising 1t
was wrested from Virginia. He has
been in the State Legislature, and
served twelve years in the United
States Senate, where he occupied a
commanding position. No man in his
section of the country ranks higher in
business and social circles. He is very
popular and while West Virginia has
been Republican since the free silver
craze entered upon its fatal career. 1t
Is believed that he will carry the State
for the national and State tickets. He
is good man and well fitted for the
position to which the Democrats desire
to elect him.

A PREDICTION.

There is a storm of indignation
blowing in the East because the gold
standard plank was omitted from the
st., Louis platform. The storm may
: blow for several days, but after Judge
Fhrker's splendid letter and the action
Of the convention thereon we have no
doubt its fury will have been spent
by the time the campaign actually
opens and will disappear altogether
drawn. We should have been glad to
see in the platform q defnitive accept
ance of the fact that the gold standard
Is here to stay, but put in a manner not
to give needless affront to the millions
who followed a free-silver standard.
The convention has seen fit by re-
nouncing utterly the Kansas City plat
from and by inviting all citizens who
may have differed about a question no
longer an issue to support the ticket
and we believe the rank and file will
eheerfully accept this general state
ment as the best obtainable under the
circumstances and will dedicate them
selves to the great work in hand. The
money standard is safe. Everybody
knows that Judge Parker stands in lieu
Of any omissions in the platform The
Democrat will be a very poor Demo-
rrat indeed If he cannot support this
ticket and platform because of one
omission in the declaration of prihci-
pies.
In our judgment the country recog-
mixes the money question as settled and
that the St Louis Conven> ion has done
nothing to disturb the settlSment In
two months this will he pIaNp to the
wayfaring man even.

A GENUINE CONVENTION.

There were times OF course, when
the immense body of Democrats at St.
Louis looked like an unorganized mob
This was due in no small measure to
the utter incompetence or indifference
of the retiring chairman in perfecting
the preliminary arrangements. Arkan-
sas had thrown him overheard, he
knew the national organization would
speedily dispense with his service, as
chairman of its committee and so with
a listlessness and utter lack of fore
sight that does him no credit he per-
mitted the hall to be captured SO far
as the galleries were concerned by
what appeared to be claque whose
services had been retained by Secretary
Walsh in behalf of the candidate he had
been touting for during the last year.
But over and above any question of
individual interests unfairly represent
ed in the hall there was plain to the
eye that the Democratic Party Was once
more united and militant body of
men. The interest and enthusiasm at
~ A@SeAS AhSoHS tAeAS Is iitereSt ana
enthusiasm among the people. In
these qualities there has been no such
convention since 1892. This is said
advisedly. That of 1896 was sipgle
speech convention; that OF 1900 was a
reaffirmation of the same speech. I'm
duobtedly the outlook now is as hope
full as it was in July, 1892. The tide
running our way then did not become
plain to all until the last of Septem-
Der.

THE NEGRO BULLETIN NO. y.

Bulletin No. of the Census Bureau
contains much that is cheering to the
white man. 1t is devoted exclusively to
the negro and is much the most critical
examination of his place in our civil
lization that has ever been made. There
is no room to go into the vast mass Of
details that the census office has iabo-
riously collected and we wish now only
to call attention to the main cheerful
finding of fact. That is this: the white
man is gaining steadily on the negro
in numbers.
Uncle Billy" will not credit this,
for he knows of too many cabins where
the little woolly heads are plentiful
Uncle Jimmie" will be appalled, to
hear it, for he will not be able to see
how he is going to have his cotton
sown. cultivated and gathered. He has
a vague idea that If the negro should
ever disappear cotton would go too
He has no notion of hoeing his own
rows. The great body of Southern
whites, however. will be pleased to
know that in the natural increase of
the two races the pale face is more
than holding his own. This was not
so during a very considerable period
of the slavery epoch. 1t appears to be
distinctly so under the regime of free
dpm.
n The two main tendencies with the
negroes are first, toward the Missis-
sippi bottoms and second, toward tie
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-07-11

cities. The first is not so strong a.
the second. and Northern cities are get
ting a disproportionate share Of those
| whose migratory instincts prompt
| them to abandon farm and country life
| We have no hesitation In saying at any
risk of being considered brutal tina,
W regard this as most fortunate. Our
northern neighbors will be brought
more and more into contact with our
black brethren and they must progress
steadily through a process Of disillu-
| sionment. Moreover and here IL some
| thing more brutal-the city is not a
| wholesome place for the negro. He
Is not qualified by nature to compete
| with the white man In cities. In q
city he is like moth fascinated by
| burning flame. He dies there.
If the moro landloving negro Is at
tracted to the Mississippi bottoms he
can be looked at complacently and for
other reasons. He is healthier there
but also less troublesome. As the
whites by natural increase and by I'm
migration close in on him there, his
territory must be gradually frettol
away In time. We are speaking
necessarily, here with large ideas OF
long years to come.
An even more cheerful fact the re-
turns bring to light, is that the whites
in the South are steadily holding their
own throughout the country districts
Cities are growing but the country Is
growing also. They are keeping step

point of less material Importance
but worth nothing, is. that OF the
negroes more than ten per cent are
mulattoes and the proportion of these
Increases when the whites most largely
predominant. Maine, for example
heads the list in its proportionate num-
Der of mulatoes. Massachusetts, ranks
high, also. There may be more than
one explanation of this, but we shall
await with interest Senator Hoar's ex-
PLANTATION. He has for years made 1t
his business to prod the South because
there were mulattoes here.

The Chicago Journal argues that the
way to suppress the loan sharks" who
are preying on the people lis to enact
a drastic law against usury.' That Is
only the beginning of the right way.
Many states have laws against usury,
but the business of the loan sharks
goes right on without regard to them.
What is needed is better enforcement
of the laws we have, or else laws made
to fit the special class of sharks who
lend small sums and get back two or
three times the amount.
