HONOR IN POLITICS.

The sequence of things is sometimes very III
stIuctive when you come deliberately 10 trace
ii ont afterward Take these. for instance:
Judge Parker was practically without polln-
cal record. save that he had twice voteo LOT
William J. Bryan.
When he began to be talked Of for the Presl'
dency, he persstently and uniformly refused 10
express himself on any political subject.
The man intrusted with the duty of presenting
his name to the convention, in carefully pre-
pared speech, said: "If you ask me what his
policy will be- if elected, tell you that IT will
abe that policy which finds expression in the
platform of his party. lie does not oeneVe
that policies should be dictated but that the
sovereignty OF the party is in the untrammeiled
Judgment of its members
In the debate in the platform committee Mr..
Bryan exclaimed: You ought TO have a gold
platform to go with the gold candidate you are
forcing on the country" The man who first
appointed Parker Judge, and who organized his
forces and led them at ST. Louis, David Is. Hin,
repealed Bryan's charge saying specifically that
he knew nothing as to Judge Parker's financial
views and had never asked him. He knew the
judge was a Democrat. and believed the conVen-
ton could trust him implicitly.
When The gold plank was kicked out OF the
platform with Hills assent and Parker was
nominated, nothing was heard from Esopus,
but dispatches of graduation began to pour
in upon the nominee of a convention which re-
fused 10 repudiate its silver pledges of its latest
previous platforms.
But next. the important papers Of the party
In New York. THE Times" The World. THE
Sun" etc. Indignantly denounced the course of
the convention and said unless Parker repudi-
ated ii he was defeated in advance. Slmulta-
neously John L. Mcdonald. the personal repre-
sentative of August Belmont made a hurried
visit to Judge Parker.
Then. after some hours OF further delay, till
the convention was probably on the verge of
final adjournment. Judge Parker safe in posses
sion OF the nomination and with the convention
powerless TO undo its act without ruin sent his
gold dispatch.
Mr.. Bryan, rising from his sick bed TO meet
this new situation, made a dgnifed comment
the biting truth of which will penetrate the
vitalS Of the Democratic candidacy before the
campaign is over. 1T is manly thing for
man to express his opinion before the conven-
'tion adjourns. 1t would have been manlier
thing to have expressed it before the conven-
"tion met"
There was no potter way of admitting that
The bucolic statesmen ofethe South and West

An OUTNOTS SILENCE.

The dominant note in the jubation of the
Democratic press over their hero OF the hour IS
one of rejoicing at the fact that here Mt last I'm
Alton Il. Parker they have a man who would
not stand for twenty-fOur hours on platform
which failed to recognize the ineyitahllity of the
gold standard. No one grudges the Democratic
party few huTrahs. The lean. uncheered and
unChecrinS eight years now passing have pent
up emotions Of volcanic volume. let them
cheer until every lung is empty! Let them re
joice over his morning horseback ride alone with
his conscience and the New-York morning
papers
a man who would not stand for twenty -four
hours on n platform Ignoring the gold standard?
Let us see. On April Is last the New-Yorl
State Convention instructed its delegates to sup
port Judge Parker for the Presidency. 1t emit
ted Il platform Of admirable brevity and I'M
equiyocal directness. Did that platform say
any more about the gold standard than the
Democratic national platform adopted at ST
Louis? We should be glad 10 quote what that
platform said about the financial standard, ex-
cept for the impotency Of type to present moth
ingness. We reprint elsewhere that platform
entire TO disclose the difficulty. Not a para
graph not sentence, not 4 word about money!
Did Judge Parker then thrill the public by re
fnsns to permit his name to be used in the
hunt for delegates on a platform with such n
iala- omission! lie was as silent as his plat
form.
1t was an important platform, too. States
were waiting to hear NETWORKS declaration
before instructing their delegates for the chief
Judge. The convention was dominated bv
Judge Parker's friends. The platform was GER
tainly the work Of his intimates. Indeed, it was
reported to have had his own wise The cho-
rus of acclaim heard now over his telegram
then sang the praises Of his platform. The
Evening Post" certainly no unfriendly COM
mentator said: a
That this sound and vigorous political deliv-
erance had Judge Parker's approval goes with
out saying. That he cut out all of the bats
and lodges which Hill wished to insert NAV
fairly be inferred. We have. accordingly, in
this platform a trustworthy line on Judge Par
ker's political convictions
This is the record which leaps to light at once.
Two months and half lie ourageously stood
upon platform Of silence. What wonder then.
that the delegates at st. Louis asked him to
run for the Presidency hiding his light under
the same Dushe!

Satisfactory During His Hunt for Delegates.

Second-We must keep inviolate the pledges OF

within ourselves that respect for law and that
love OF liberty and of peace which the spirit of
military domination tends eventually to weaken
and destroy.
Third-Unsteady national policies and rest

PARKER md GOLD PLANK.
PROPER TIME TO SPEAK.
The "Manliness" of Mr.. Bryan and That OF
the Present Candidate Contrasted.
From The Springfield Republican.

1t may be a bitter thought, yet candor COM
pels the statement that the American whose
course in a similar exigency had furnished Judge
Parker with a model of conduct was none other
than William Jennings Bryan At Kansas City
four years ago MI, bryan confronted lhlS stu
/ alton: The resolutions committee was sharply
divided upon the question of ignoring the
money question and there was a prospect
that it's report would be silent that is
sue. Instead of waiting until after the platform
had been adopted and the nomination of himself
had been made, Mr. Bryan promptly sent word
to the convention, before any action whatever
had been taken that he must not be considered
candidate for the nomination in case the money
question were ignored III the resolutions. That
was straightforward and it dealing fairly
with all wings and members OF the Democratic
party.
1t Is very far from desire to criticise Judge
Parker's course too harshly, or to impute to him
motives at all dishonorable- Yet the cutting
singing truth of Mr.. Bryan's statement in the
convention Saturday night cannot be laughed
away. 1T is manly thing" said Mr.. Bryan,
for man to express his opinion before the
convention adjourns. 1t would have been man
lier to have expressed 1t before the convention
met"
The ridiculous, yet very wearing, episode of
the conventions closing hours was the fruit of
that policy of silence which conspicu-
feature of the Parker movement The
Southern delegations. which really brought
about Parker's nomination, baked at the crtti-
cal moment over the gold plank which the New
Workers sought to have incorporated In the plat
form. They had been in the past silvertes al
most to a man. and they did not dare to precipi-
tate In the convention itself the struggle which
would have followed the presentation of
minority report. Senator Bailey, of Texas, adj
mits this in authorized statement which
says: Mr. Hill not only informed by Mr..
Bryan's followers, but by more conservative in
terests in the convention. that It would be use
less for him to contend for the gold plank and
that if he did he would throw the convention
into an uproar and would be likely to fatally
divide the party. 1t was only after he had been
fully impressed with the seriousness Of the stu
alton that he refused to demand a record vote by
the convention itself"
This development was we'll known to Judge
Parker Friday afternoon, for the Friday
ing papers contained the definite news that the
platform would ignore the money question en-
tirely. The New-York Evening POST Friday
afternoon had the staring headline. NO Money
Plank" Then was the proper time for Judge
Parker to have spoken to the convention itself;
but still he silent, and the platform was
adopted by the convention as at least modus
vivend If not a final treaty Of peace concerning
differences of opinion that have harasSed and
divided Democrats in the past.

passenger agent of the road is said to be con-
WINGED that he failed TO do so. For the present
therefore. the signalman must be blamed for
the accident
There are two ways in which signals or this
kind are operated. They may be controlled by
land or they may be shifted automatically from
the block ahead by the movement of trains
there. The former system brings into play the
element of human falllbility, while the latter,
though probably expensive TO install, Is re-
garded more certain in its action. There IS
always chance. of course, that an engineer
will disregard a signal when it is set at danger.
Many accidents result from that cause. That at
Midvale, however, would have been ayerted had
the automatic control of signals been adopted
ty the Erie company. 1t will be interesting TO
know, therefore, whether the amount of money
which has been saved by past economy will be
more or less than the aggregate sums paid for
damages

The Democratic National Convention ended
by straddling a strddde. II adopted unaui-
nOusly a platform refusing TO recant its free

were unauthorized and fraudulent The nom-

by assuring the candidate that the money

utterly failed TO reach an agreement-did not

canvass possible-does credit as we have al
ready said, 10 the Democratic nominees good

dent enforces the weakness Of the Democratic
nartys role in this campaign. That party still
stands divided and distracted. It's voters hold
Treconclable opinions and its leaders can unite
on nc policy which will command the whole
partys approval or support. The struggle at
