LOOKING TO THE FUTURE.

MT. Bryan is making 1t a condition of his support of the ticket, apparently, that the Kansas City platform be reafirmed at St. Louis. That platform was a long one; platforms of both parties have been growing in length with each successive presidential campaign We seriously doubt however, whether any part of the Kansas City declaration, except what was sad on the money question, still fingers in the minds of the voters The campaign was certainly conducted on both sides with the idea that the Dem- ocratic party. if successful would do something for silver, Mir. Bryan contend ed then, as he still contends. that the currency question will never be settled right until silver is helped in some way. and his particular proposition is to es- tablish the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1. There Is something comic in the mere repetition of these words. so ancient and dead have they become. Not one man in a thou sand believes there is any hope for any party in insisting upon further currency
 
 reaffirming the free silver doctrines of the Kansas City Convention would be just as wise and no wiser than if they should select paragraphs from the plat forms of 52 56 and 60 and go to the country upon them. Slavery as an issue has as much life and promise in 1t, as free silver. We have no misgivings on this point. Another Bryanite convention would not dare to be so foolhardy in the face of recognized conditions as to put the silver issue again to the front. If he, himself, has a candidate it is Hearst. but Hearst knows there must be a new platform this year and is working, or rather his agents are working. to secure declarations more or less plainly social istic in Kind and without any regard for silver. The air is clearing rapidly and there is every assurance the party will have live questions to submit Fortu- 'nately for the Democratic Party. the Re- publican candidate presents in his own

The First Time.

Charlotte (N. co Observer.
 This is perhaps the first time in the his- tory of the country that serious at- tempt was made to secure a presidential nomination by a citizen whose chief re- liance was plenty of money. Other high offices have doubtless now and then been so awarded, but it seems that it remain ed for the yellow journalist to attempt to place a money value on nomination, which, above all others, should go to man whose dignity would rebel at even so much as an active personal canvass prior to the convention. Even what might be termed the legitimate efforts in Hearsts behalf would hardly do credit to the dignity of the office of member of a State Legislature. While 1t is unlike ly that he will succeed in securing the nomination, and it is to be hoped that he will even be unable to influence the ac- ton of the convention, this lavish ex- penditure of money is not by any means mere madness. If Hearst should no more than have his name go before the na- tional convention for first place on the ticket, his papers would be greatly ben efited thereby. True, he is at present well-grounded in the esteem of the cham bermaids and bootblacks, but this presi- dential candidacy will give him claim upon the Democratic party and the more he secures the more consideration he can demand. Hearst has all to gain and nothing to lose-not even the money he Is spending.

RENTS IN NEW YORK.
It is Almost Impossible for "The BBetwixt-and- Between Class"
 to Live in the Metropolis.

BBetwixt-and-BetW Class"
 to Live in the Metropolis.
 New York Sun.
 The mystery continues to grow-where do the people get the money to pay rent in New York? It used to be common place remark that a person could live more expensively or more cheaply in New York than in any other city in the world The statement may hold yet as to the two extremes of living: that is, the nulti-mil- lionaires whose fortunes come at the wave of some conjurer's wand are, on the one side, the most cxtra"agant ltvers while the poor in some tenement dis tricts. seem to keep quite fat on few cents day, on the other side. Howev- er do not refer to either Dixes or Eaza- rus In this reflection, but to the betwixt- and-between class. who must occupy rented homes, either flats or single dwell ings, Tn respectable quarters
 The person who rents a fiat for $500 a year Is getting precious little for his money. The most expensive fiat in New York. I am informed. rents for $7,500 a year-and all you have is look out of the window; not an inch of green grass, not flower. not a shrub or tree. That's high living and poor thinking. most ordinary three-story and basement house in a fair quarter fetches from $1.S00 to 8 800 a year. Then what do you get? A high stoop in front and twenty feet of clothesline area behind. In Harlem rents are now put up from 8 to 22 per cent. In the Bronx the increase is nearly as great The man who forgot to renew his lease of fiat in 11Sth street near Lenox ave- nue. must move out or pay $25 a month more than last year. He cries: Where car I go? It's the same all over"

TWO KINDS
 OF CHILDREN

Children that grow too fast and those that seem hardly to grow at all, both need Scott's Emulsion.
 It gives that rich vital nourishment which is the secret of all healthy growth. It rounds out the long limbs, and helps children to grow without using up all their strength in growing.
 Mothers ought to know more about the wonderful help which Scott's Emulsion would give their children.

BURTON MAY BE EXPELLED.
Unless Convicted Senator Resigns
 Senate May Cast Him Out.
Washington

Times.
 There IS some prospect that pressure will be brought to bear to cause Senator Burton to resign his seat in the Senate his convection of a crime against the Government and the sentence passed on him afford ground for his Instant ex- plIsion, and there are a number of Sem ators who are disposed to urge that ac- tor be taken at once to purge the Sen ate of the blemish brought upon the body by Burton's disgrace.
 The Kansas Senator, however. will have the opportunity to resign and save the records of the Senate from the statement that his seat has been declared vacant because he is convicted felCn.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1904.
SOUNDS JUST LIKE HIM.

To correspondent of The Philadelphia Press we are indebted for the statement that Roosevelt, while Governor of New York, said to a friend that if he could have his fondest wish gratified he would be Governor of the Philippines. Just think" said he, "of the joy of that. Absolutely your own master. No politi- clans to plscate, no Congress to consult. nothing but to have your own sweet way about everything"
 The story may not be true but it is SO ,distinctively Rooseyeltian that we can porter or correspondent could more truth fully paint the man and his character than this does. To have his 'town sweet way would be to him the highest of ali earthly blessings. To be absolute master of the lives and fortunes of six or seven million human beings; to feel that no human power would have c. right to say to him: Thus far shalt thou go. and no farther" to be a despot, in short. would fill his measure full to the brim. True. as Governor of the Philippines he would be nominally controlled by our government, but that wouldn't hold him back any. He would practically be boss of the islands and their inhabitants There would be, as The Philadelphia Record express it," no Senate to refuse assent to his nomination. none of the cattle of the House to assert the au- thority of a coordinate branch of the government; just Roosevelt and nothing else
 Such a position would be nuts to Teddy. Now, although he bosses Congress, and fiouts its authority in a way that is lit- tie credit to that body, he is not exactly "the whole thing There are yet some constitutional restraints and sorne Con- gressional traditions which stand in his way to some extent, and fret him with oId'time proprieties under which he grows restive and frequently rebellious In the other position he would have free hand and, judging him by what he has shown himself and by what we know of his character, we may fairly assume that the islanders would have an uncomfortable time with him as boss of the outfit. We would pity them, while rejoicing that our own country was practically free of him.

As we think the Democrats of that State cannot possibly be stampeded to a man like Hearst or Bryan we can see no reason for tying them fast with in- structions, but binding them for Parker can do no harm.

racy of the whole country is looking to of the contest depends. Without New York Democracys case is hopeless, and without harmony in that State there is ample ground for doubt It ought to be evident to Mir. Murphy that the senti- ment of the entire Democracy is now for Parker It ought to be plain to him that MT. Cleveland is not to be consider ed in the list of candidates. and it should be equally plain that. the Democracy of New York cannot be committed to Hearst. It may be that he Is at work for some local advantage, but if that Is true he Is jeopardizing Democratic suc- cess for his own ends. If the New York delegation goes to St. Louis split up into factions the result may be the refusal of the convention to take up any New York man, with the further believe that there is better chance to unite and harmonize on Judge Parker than on any other man who has been mentioned, and that a fail- ure to unite on him will presage Demo- cratic defeat.
 The fact that Mir. Bryan is opposed to Parker should not longer cut any figure. He has made it plain that he will not acquiesce in the nomination of any man who does not agree with his exploded theories. He is for Hearst and against sound Democracy. that much is apparent, and no more attention should be paid him. If he Is unwilling to join in the effort to get a good ticket and platform let him go his own way and enjoy himself as an obstructionist and marpiot. His opposition will do little harm. but factional fights in New York can do much.
