EMPLoYER AND EMpLoYE.

Most men who occupy the position of
pmployes look forward to the time
when they will become employers and
boss others, instead of being bossed.
They think it will be much easier to
De at the head of the business and is
sue orders than 1t is to belong to the
army of workers. Discussing this
matter The New Bedford Standard
says:
A man who has recently bought
small mechanical business, having been
IN all his previous working life a jour-
neyman on. wages, expresses his sur
Drise that holidays, and evenings, and
Usually Sundays. are no more for him.
He has discovered. practically, what he
pas heretofore known only as a theory,
Rnd an uncertain theory at that, that
business does not take care of itself.
Heretofore, he has reached the shop at
p definite hour, has worried at a task
get, before him with grsater or less as
feached, has washed his hands, put on
his coat and hat. and gone home. After
that. his time was his own; and If, by
reason of stress of orders he has occa-
eionally consented to work a few hours
overtime. he has had overtime pay.
Now, all his time belongs to his bust
ness, and there is overtime everyday in
the work. with no extra pay. 1t Is all
IN the nature OF a revelation.
This is vie wthat is doubtless rarely
Thought of by those who work for
wages. If an employee is honest and
conscientious he will of course look to
abe interests of his employer, but he Is
largely freed from responsibility in
the matter. He knows that it Is both
his interest and his duty to do a good
days work, and to do it in such a way
jas to be of most benefit to the man for
whom he works. but that Is all II he
does good work and keeps at it during
the hours fixed for labor he has full
filled the measure of his duty, and
when the day ends his responsibility
ends. When he assumes charge of the
business he finds that he is no longer
his own master, Day and night he
must look out for the interests of his
business. He finds that the question
of profit or loss depends largely on his
management, and that he has little
time for rest. 1t may be pleasant to
be ones own boss but it isn't always
a bed of roses.

Referring to a statement in The At
lantic Monthly to the effect that the
loss of the elective franchise has made
the negroes restless and disconnected.
The Fort Gaines (Ga) Recorder de-
clares that the negroes as a whole
never understood the sacredness of the
ballot, and never exercised the privi-
lege, save when urged to do so by
gro been left to his own reasoning
when freed he would never have re-
sorted or wished to resort to the ballot
for redress, but would have made his
petition to his white friend and advis-
er and would have gladly left the prob
lens in the hands Of his white neigh
bors for solution" That is true of
Alabama as 1t is of Georgia There
are politicians among them who find
their occupation gone and of course
they are disconnected, but as a general
thing the negroes care little about the
matter and are not worrying over 1t O..
If 1t had not been for designing white
men who made tools of the negroes to
serve their own ends the suffrage
would never have caused trouble in the
South. 1t is practically done away
with for the present and large major
ity of the negroes are not grieving or
worrying over 1t.

THE PLATFORM.

There is an Unreasonable difference
between Democratic conditions today
and four years ago. The Convention
OF 1900 was dominated by one man as
absotateiy as was the Republican Con-
vention Of 1904. So thorough was the
mastery Of william J. Bryan at Kan
sas City that ne repealed every request
to modify his views and refused to take
the nomination unless everything he
demanded was written in the bond. We
went to defeat as hundreds of thou
sands who voted for him knew would
be the case. One mac power never has
been and never will be popular with
Democrats who have the true concep-
ton OF the principles Of their party.
Mr.. Bryan's efforts at St. Louis to
prevent the nomination Of a man op-
posed to his past views have proven
futile. His desire to have a re-affirma-
don Of the two platforms on which he
plunged the party into defeat was set
at naught. and in lieu of It there is a
clear cut declaration on living issues
which ought to satisfy every man who
wants success in November. 1t Is a
matter OF qualification that all factions
accepted 1t. If the same good result
comes from the nomination all win be
we'll
The Convention is not q cut and
dried affair, but a very free and out
spoken gathering where differences
have been expressed and harmony
worked out. 1t is well that all sides
are satisfied with the platform There
are some things omitted which we
would have preferred put in. but there
Is enough on which all can stand to-
gether to give hope and confidence for
the contest. The issue of free silver
and free riot is relegated to the rear
and 1t is to be hoped will stay there
forever The gold standard is fixed,
and as Mr.. John Sharp Williams said
in his speech for a period beyond any
thought. OF computation. 1t is the law
of the lAmd today and as the result of
the patriotic endeavor of Democratic
President and those who stood by him
In the Fifty-second Congress. There
was no special need for a declaration
on that subject, and the party at large
will endorse the action OF the Conven-
ton.
The platform is good one, and it
looks as IL the campaign of 1904 will
bring all Democrats together.

HON. JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

The figure that has been most proni-
nent in the st. Louis Convention Is that
of frail and not over handsome. Mis-
sissippian, John Sharp Williams
Brains and courage are the secret of
his power. With these. in less than
one year. he has raised himself from a
position of practical obscurity to a
foremost place in the nation. An in
dependent journal of New York. pro-
tests he has given them medicine to
make 'em love him. Thousands feel
the same way.
it has been in a high degree fortu-
nate for the Democratic party that VIII
liams was put forward just when he
was, In the conflict between the two
sections of the organization, he brought
to his task an admirable temper and
not less admirable sense. He has more
than any other one man by his work
of the last eight months made 1t posi-
BILE to eliminate populism and leave the
bulk of Bryan's own following half
pleased at the result. He and his al
lies have of course been much aided
by the extremity of folly to which
Bryan himself felt impelled to go.
Bryan would have gotten far better
treatment than he has received at the
hands of a great convention of Demo-
Gratis, If he had not gone there armed
and threatening to do to death any man
or any principle not personally accept
able to him. He invited rebuke and
received 1t.
We do not mean to say that Mr.. Will
liams has put down Organism
and reunited the party on a
broad sane platform, but it is
none the less his dye cordially
to acknowledge his noble \part In the
work. Brains and courage equipped
him for what he individually under
took to do. His example Is an inspir-
ing one not alone to the men who are
younger than he Is, but to older polti-
clans as well. He has mastered the
subjects with which politics deal; he
has studied. reflected and worked at
the practical application of his ideas
He has believed that trimming and
lodging are fit accomplishments only
for the smaller breed of public men;
and that the people promptly recog
nize man who devotes himself In a
supreme way to the advancement of
the higher and more enduring inter-
ests of the race. This is to talk in a
big way. doubtless but that is just
what Sharp Williams has had the no.
BILE foresight to strive to achieve.

IF there's anything a reporter don't
know its what happens out of the city
he's working on the day It's happening.
But, you'd think by the way he Is asked
questions about the convention and the
Jap war that all he has to do Is to
sit by an instrument and have the
operator tell him what's doing in st.

ASK the capitol reporter. who the
Governor appointed a notary public
yesterday and you're mighty likely to
be informed. Ask the court reporter,
what was the Judgment in the case of
Brown VS.. Smith and you'll get your

latest offense of Conroy Smith, negro

too many things in Montgomery to &C.
