The Albany Platform.

The author or authors Of the Albany
platform should be proclaimed. 1t is a de-
liverance in ten thousand This years first
voters, if they live to be eighty years old,
will probably never read such another for
studied and fnane non-committalisms A
professional burlesquer commissioned to
turn the trick could not have done so we'll.
He would have erred on the side of con-
servatism. 1t required anxious and
sapheaded sincerity to push platitude clear
over the verge and make 1t absolutely ri
diculous. The effort to fix the responsible
ity on Mr.. Hill will fail. He has his share
of faults and has committed his share of
follies, but this platform does not go on
all tours with the worst or the stupidest
things ever charged to him. Whatever he
may be- he is no shoemaker when it comes
to politics The mystery should be cleared
up before the campaign is a week older.
If Judge Parker is the kind of man that
this platform is platform then may the de-
mocracy be anxious indeed.

An Abominable Strike Crime.

The whole long record of strike atrocities
offers no more slckening example of fiendish-
ness than the crime of the striking coal
miners of Garrett. Pa, who fired the house
of non-union man and destroyed his wife
and five children. 1t appears that state
closely suggestive of anarchy has prevailed
at Garrett for some days. Owing to official
ipcapaclty or inaction no effective measures
were adopted at the outset to put an end to
Il threatening situation. The strikers took
possession of the town, picketing all lines
of approach. stopping strangers, mobbing
unpopular citizens, and finally. as stated
burning up a family. Pennsylvania has
surely had enough experience to know by
this time what to do when the uAly head of
anarchy shows itself in this guise. The
trouble In this case started Saturday night,
and instead of the adoption Immediately of
vigorous and effective measures to restore
peace the authorities dribbled along. NOV
ing tardly from one expedient to another,
until they were confronted with a tragedy
which focuses the attention of the whole
country upon the disorder. Now, in all
likelihood. the state will act with such en-
phasis as to close the incident. but mean
while an innocent family of children and a
devoted mother have persisted. and all for
the failure of those In charge of the munich
pal. county or state government, or all
three. to assert their authority In season in
terms that would insure respect. 1t is note
worthy that soon as the situation
reached the stage of arson the sheriff
awoke. and sent in enough deputies to Sc
cure the semblance of order for the time
being. First. he closed the saloons, and
thus shut off the source of much of the
trouble. Then. by presenting a brave front.
he awed the strikers into quiet. But the
failure to act when the first signs of dis
turbance We're noted has been paid for in
death. and I'm Generalization which may
prove far worse in results than the tragedy
already enacted.

Tamniany and Cleveland.

Time brings about some striking changes
In politics. and particularly in New York
politics.
In 1892 Tammany Hall appeared at the
democratic national convention as Mr..
Cleveland's most aggressive opponent L.
fought him at every stage of the game.
II turned out In force, and 1t assured the
convention that the nomination OF Mr..
Cleveland would be fatal to the hope Of
carrying New York for the democracy
Mr.. Croker said without qualification.
His orators echoed his words Bourke
Cochran, In the most impressive speech of
his life. implored the convention not to
make success impossible by naming man
whose popularity among his fellow citizens
vanished completely on election day.
At Albany Monday night Tammany APP
peared as the champion OF Mr.. Cleveland.
Not the open and confessed champion. but
the advocate of a policy having for us OBJ
ject the stampeding OF the ST. Louis con-
venuon to the Cleveland STANDARD Mr..
Murphy. the successor of Mr.. Croker. and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1904-04-20

Mr.. Cochran In his old role again as orator
extraordinary for the Hall, played their
best cards for an uninstructed delegation.
Has anything occurred since 1892 to draw
Tammany toward Mr.. Cleveland? Appar-
emily nothing. He did very little during his
second administration and while Tammany
was working for Bryan in 1896 and 1900 he
was throwing his influence. directly or in
directly, to Mckinley.
What then explains this change of front
on the tigers part? The best belief Is that
Tammany is playing the game of the trusts.
Mr. Cleveland is beloved of the trust mag
mates. with James J. Hill at their head.
and they are influencing Mr.. Murphy's ac-
ton. Accordingly. Tammany has reversed
itself. 1t told the Chicago convention
twelve years ago through Mr.. Cochran that
Mr.. Cleveland was the only democrat in
the country who could not carry New York,
and it is now figuring on an opportunity
to tell the st. Louis convention through Mr..
Cochran that he is tine only democrat who
can. Its advice was rejected then. VIII
its advice be taken now?
While Tammany has whirled around.
David B. Hill stands today where he stood
then SO far as Mr.. Cleveland is concerned
Neither the years nor the trusts have
brought him as worshiper to the feet Of
the Sage of Princeton. He fought his own
battle then and is fighting that of Judge
Parker now. He seems to be in fighting
mood. and the man who does not want
to live until after the November election
in order to see how so interesting a cam
pafgn comes out must be in reckless or ir-
different mood. indeed.

tons of large numbers of people without
moderation in their demands or considera-
ton for others. The example set by this
club of scientists is encouraging. Owners
OF woodlands near the city should be heart
ened to maintain their preserves immune
from the molestations of the vandals. All
true believers OF the right of the plants to
live should err list In the crusade to discour-
age greedy picking and wasteful breaking
of branches. Laws may not be adequately
framed or sufficiently enforced, save che
general laws against trespassing. In the
public parks the regulations do prohibit the
picking Of plants or the breaking OF trees,
and the peoples enjoyment of these open
spaces is by no means lessened in conse-
quence. Live and let live, should be the
rule Of all who go forth in spring and sum-
mer to commune with nature.

The Woods Vandals.

A correspondent. approving The Stars
comments on the vandalism practiced In
the woods near Washington every season,
whose letter Is printed in today's issue,
asks: What good will 1t do?" The Star
hopes that it's word of suggestion and re-
Duke will do some good, by arousing a
wholesome sentiment in behalf of the flow
ers and trees and shrubs and stimulating
the real nature lovers to the point of pro-
testing against all cases of such vandalism
as come to their notice. 1t is a hard fight,
of course. and the Roadway is certain to be
slow. But much of the trouble comes from
sheer thoughtlessness and may be cured by
instruction and warning. Many people who
go forth to plumber the woods do SO without
realizing that they are aiding in the de-
struction OF their own future pleasure. They
think the flowers will grow again, for
getting that they are depriving the plants
of their chance to propagate themselves
whenever they pick off blossoms, which are
the beginnings of seeds. They tear up the
roots. thinking to replant them In town,
ignoring the fact that there are hundreds
OF others like themselves and that once the
word Is spread that good arbutus roots, or
violet roots, or roots of this, that or the
other plant may be found IN certain place
swarms of root hunters will gather there
and soon lay the land waste and exter-

The Hill Convention.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Chief Judge Parker, however blank his
record and mysterious his opinions on any
known subject outside the law, is at any
rate an upright judge and a gentleman es-
teemed by all who know him. What must
be the feelings of such a man over his
adoption as the favorite son of the New
York democracy! The tribute is paid sc
gracefully and so tremendously! The
democrats of the nation see for him such a
spontaneous outpouring of enthusiasm on
the part of the free and Embossed people
of the empire state! The districts which
roll up democratic majorities were ruth
lessly ridden over by the discredited work
er of successive democratic defeats and
the Parker boom was launched. in spite of
Tammany protests, by delegates from re-
publican districts.
