for such additional legislation as may
be necessary. And it promises to ap--
ply Immediately the obvious remedy OF
excluding from interstate traffic such
commodities as are controlled by in
dustrial combinations in restraint of

certain sound in the ears of people
bowed down under burdens and wasted
with remorseless eXactions.
Democracy protests against executive
usurpation. There is no more stirring
passage in the platform than that
which cites the president before the
bar Of public opinion for his offenses.
He has disregarded law and placed
himself above it. He has broken trea-
the pen, he has made himself the ar
bitter of nations destiny. Were he

resent government by the law and the
constitution.
There will be much comment, as
there was much debate in committee,
upon the total omission of all reference
to the financial question. We think it
signally wise and satisfactory. Silence
here is more. eloquent than words. 1t
means that this issue has passed out
of the range of practical affairs. 1t
is infinitely more direct, more honest,
more admirable than some miserable
platitude which should attempt to sat
isfy all opinions. 1t is far better than
any financial plank laid before the
committee. The platform deals with
none of the other issues that events
have settled and passed by; why should
it rake up old differences of opinion
about this? Most sincerely and utter
ly do we commend the wisdom of the
convention in this particular and con-
graduate the united Democracy; where
no manor faction can raise the cry of
triumph, and none need face the stig-
ma of defeat.
On many minor issues the platform
touches, always surely, sensibly, wise
ly. There are no mistakes and no
equivocations in it. 1t is Democratic
from the first word to the last, and it
will be accepted by Democrats
throughout the country with the
unanimity and enthusiasm that greet
ed it in convention. To every article
of this splendid creed every Democrat
may subscribe y@itIehappy earnestness,
and With this pledge of our belief and
our purpose we may appeal in conf
dence to the suffrages of a people who
will read in it a full expression of the
American spirit at its finest and its
best. "a 5sss

SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1904.
THE PLATFORM

He is a poor sort of Democrat who
cannot stand with both feet planted
squarely on the platform adopted by
the st. Louis cow 1t deals with
all the great issues of the day and
treats them candidly, comprehensively
and without juggling. 1t is a splendid
statement of the Democratic faith, and
it will appeal with tremendous force to
the plain people of this country who
have not drifted away from the ideals
and principles OF the fathers.
OF the wide range of subjects upon
which the attitude of Democracy is
here defined, there are five or six of
transcendent interest, and upon these
public attention will fix itself instantly.
We could desire no happier treatment
of these than that which the conven-
ton unanimously approved. For it is
one of the great merits of this docu-
ment that it has the sanction of the
united Democratic body. There was
no minority report, no dissension, no
contest between factions such as the
enemy had hoped and desired There
is no Democrat in the land who may
not point to this platform proudly and
call it his own.
Democracy as thus defined stands
for equality before the law; for equal
ity of right and Of opportunity. By
that great test it tries the relations of
labor and capital and finds the adjust
ment easy. The right OF every man to
engage in lawful labor as he pleases,
the right of capital TO seek lawful en-
ployment, the supremacy of the law
the last.
Democracy finds the immediate prac-
teal needs of national administration
to be economy and honesty. The coun-
try is going the way of the profigate
Appropriations have reached the max
imum, dishonesty stalks unrebuked
through the departments at Washing
ton. Honest government, retrench-
ment and reform, will be the watch
word as it is the promise of the party.
Democracy has not parted company
with the Declaration of independence.
1t reaffirms the doctrines of that i'm
mortal document in relation to the Fill
pinos, and the party of human rights
declares itself ready to do for the Phil
ippines what We have done for Cuba.
All honor to it for this glorious, proof
that the old spirit of devotion TO free
dom for freedoms sake still lives in the
American breast.
Democracy stands for an immediate
but rational and conservative revision
of the tariff. 1t rightly charges the ex-
listing system with fostering and main
tanning the trusts. It rightly demands
that it be reformed and amended. It
rightly says that this work cannot be
intrusted to the friends of its abuses"
1t fixes the amount of revenue to be
collected as the amount necessary for
the needs of the government econom-
icaily administered according to true
American ideas of simplicity. That
revenue can be raised without bribing
monopoly, and the tariff can and will
be reduced by Democratic hands with
out the impairment of national indus
try.
Democracy is the implacable enemy
of the trusts. The platform demands
their prosecution with all the power
at the governments command. 1t calls

THE ANACOSTIA BRIDGE.
War Department Considering the
Question of Draw

No action has yet been taken by the War
Department regarding the application Of
the District Commissioners for favorable
consideration on their proposition for the
reconstruction Of the bridge across the Ana
costa river at the ravy yard without
draw Under the general statutes no bridge
can be constructed across navigable river
Of the United States unless in the judgment
of the Secretary of War 1t does not inter-
fere with the navigation of the river.
Following the usual course, the applica-
ton of the District Commissioners in this
case was referred to Gen. Mackenzie CHIEF
of engineers. and he is now engaged in
considering the only two points in which
the government has an interest; namely, IS
tho Anacostia river navigable at the point
where the bridge crosses, and If so would
the bridge as planned without draw IN
terfere with the navigation of the river. He
has already received one protest against the
reconstruction of the bridge without draw
as proposed. This protest was made by D.
M Rurrell as manager of the Allegheny
Coal Company, whose local works are 10
ga ted above the site of the proposed bridge
In their communication to the department
the District Commissioners say that II the
department prefers the insertion of a draw
thew would like information as to the
length and location of such draw span IN
order that plans may be prepared for APP
nroval as early as possible. 1t is expected
that the War Department will act In TINS
matter In a short time But until that Is
done no work on the bridge proper Will be
permttted. There is no objection, however,
to the tests of the soil now being made py
direction of the Commissioners.
