DOCTRINES THAT WILL WIN.
Republicans Need Not Recede from a
Single One of Their Time
Tried Principles.

Republican leaders have been con-
laration Of principles which the party
will present to the people for the coming
campaign. 1t is encouraging to notice
that there is no disposition to recede
from the fundamental doctrines that
have brought success to the party and
prosperity TO the country.
First of all stands the protective
tariff, which will be given due pre-
eminence in any platform approved by
a convention of republicans. In the
hands Of republican legislators the tar
iff will always be protective, and it
will never be reduced or revised so far
as to relax its fostering care of Ameri-
can industries or its exclusion of COM
petitive products of the pauper or ill
paid labor of other countries.
The record of the United States under
the Mckinley and Roosevelt admins
trations is the exact and sufficient plat
form of the republican party for 1904
To him who would ask why the electors
should support the republican ticket.
the only answer, wisely says the Troy
IN. V Times, need be: Look about
you"
Industry blessed by the shield of
a protecting government; commerce
made stable by sound financial stand
ards; increase in area and wealth and
social advantage; exclusion Of the unfit;
public works begun that the cen
turies had hoped for; primacy among
the voices of the nations; everywhere
eadeTship-such a platform is one that
supeIsedes promise by performance
AnG if the idea is always best eX-
pressed when it has the human form,
the personality of the republican can
didate will be an unmistakable plat
form. If the democrats choose that
personality for their issue, the chal-
lenge will be welcomed. For the more
examination is given to the character
and achievements of the strong and
earnest man who took the burden of
the martyred McKinley's care and has
borne it with a giants vigor and pa
triot's confidence, the more clearly will
it be seen that the republican party and
the America of to-day find their typical
mbodiment-their platform on the plat
form--in the personality Of Theodore
Roosevelt

TWO CONVENTIONS.
Two State Tickets Are Nominated by
Wisconsin Republicans.


Madison, Wis, May 20.-Two con
ventions, both claiming legal status
by right of delegate majOrities hold
inS prima facie credentials, and both
asserting themselves to be regularly
republican, were concluded in Madi-
son last night.
Two state tickets, the one headed
by Gov. Robert Nj. La Toilette, candi-
date for third term, and the other
headed by x-Congressman Samuel
A. Cook, were nominated
The ticket named by the La Fol
lette convention includes all the pres
ent state officers and the platform
only differs from the other in the in
tensity of its declaration in favor Of
so-called La Toilette reforms.
Gov. La Toilette considers himself
the choice of the regular republican
party His delegates, according to
the state central committees count,
numbered 5S51a.
The other convention was endorsed
by Senator John c. Spooner and Sen
ator Joseph V. Quarles, and it's state
ticekt, it is declared, was legally
nominated by SCI delegates holding
prima facie credentials. Senator
Spooner voiced the sense of the con
vention when he said:
These delegates sitting here will
not have to stand merely upon the
declaration of this committee on
credentials. Their right to seats here
will be tested and proved"
This means that thS courts will be
called upon to settle the dispute.

COTTON IS A KING.
interesting Facts About
the Great Staple.
In 20 Years 1t Has Increased Nearly
100000 Baes-United States
the Largest Producer and
Greatest Consumer.

Washington, May 20.-The depart
ment of agriculture will issue shortly
a report on the consumption of cotton
in the cotton states, compiled by j. l..
Watkins, the cotton expert of the
bureau of statistics. Reviewing the
industry in the past 20 years it says
that Notwithstanding the great in
crease in the worlds consumption of
cotton, the overshadowing feature of
the period is the phenomenal increase
in consumption in the cotton states.
This consumption in the south in
creased 1,G07,000 bales, or 500 per
cent. The consumption in the north
increased in 20 years 1000 bales, or
SO per cent, and in the whole country
100000 bales, or nearly 14S per cent.
The report says every additional
10000 bales consumed in this coun-
try means shorter time for some for
eign mill, perhaps it's shutting down,
If no further expansion of the cotton
crop takes place. During the past 20
years the United States has increased
its cotton crop nearly 100000 bales,
or about SO per cent, India's crop has
increased 100000 bales of 400
pounds each, or 73 per cent; Egypt's
crop has increased $4,000 bales of
500 pounds each or 10 per cent.
Russia, which used to draw so
largely upon this country for her raw
cotton, is now supplying her own
mills with 100000 to 100000 bales
grown in her trans-Caspian provinces.
Brazil has almost ceased exporting
cotton, on account of home demand
for her crop and the continent of Eu-
rope has increased its consumption
Of cotton 2,492,000 bales or about 95
per cent The consumption of cotton
in East India has increased 100000
bales, or about 200 per cent in the
last 20 years, and her mills now use
about half of the crop produced there.
Japan has erected mills equipped
with ,333, 900 spindles and is opening
from 100000 to 100000 bales of cotton
annually, of which nearly 25 per cent.
is American. The worlds consump-
tion of cotton has increased nearly r.
600, 900 bales, or about 94 per cent,
and the United States, the largest
producer, also has become the largest
consumer of cotton. The price of this
staple is now regulated in the home
market instead of Liverpool
Every year since 1890 there has
been an increase in the number of
mills and spindles in operation and
with the single exception of 1S93-94
an increase in the number of bales
consumed.

DANGER IN HEARST PERIL.
Democrats Are Sure to Have Haley
on and Vociferous Time at st.
Louis Convention.

The friends of Judge Parker and the
rest of the conservative democI attic
aspirants can see by this time that
the Hearst movement is of much
larger dimensions than they had i'm
agined. Hearst's victory in Iowa gives
him about so votes in the st. Louis
convention, or almost as many as
Parker has won by this time. No as
pirant save Parker has anything like
as many votes committed to him as
have been instructed for Hearst
That candidate, moreover, won in
Iowa in face of powerful opposition.
The reorganzers in that state were
reinforced by an element which sup
ported Bryan in 1896 and 1900, but
which now want to make a new deal.
Bryan, of course, stands with Hearst
in his crusade for the candidacy this
year.
Possibly Hearst does not expect to
carry off the presidential candidacy
He is developing a strength, however,
says the st. Louis Globe Democrat
which promises to give him third
of the convention, and thus to be in a
position to prevent any Objectionable
person from getting the nomination.
There is no doubt that if he controls
a third of the votes he will head off
Parker. AS Parker just now is the
most conspicuous of the aspirants of
the Cleveland section of the party
Hearsts hostility would naturally be
directed against him. Parker is keep
ing still Probably he is telling his
patron, Hill, also to remain in the
shadow, for Hill is as dumb as
Parker.
Hearst is getting good deal of ad

ably he is having fun at the terror
which he is inspiring among his dem
ocratic enemies. 1t il possible that he
expects to get the candidacy, for as
a man of information about demo
cratic history he knows that his party
has often done queer things. The
present conditions make it probable
that queer things will be done at ST

his democratic rivals ever expected

vociferous time be escaped at st. Louis
in the early days of July the country
will be very much surprised.

ANCESTOR WOR
 SHIP.

The democrats remind one of the fol- lowers of Confucius in their devotion to ancestor worship. The belief on the part of the Chinese that whatever their ancestors did was right has had more than anything else to do with their national stagnation. Since what their ancestors did was in their opin- ion right, they find no occasion for change or innovation.
 So the democrats always hark to some ancient democrat who laid down the law for the party two or three gen eraieions ago, and they find no induce ment to depart from the positions then taken. It is Jefferson or Jackson or some other democrat who lived a hun dred ago to whom the democrats are forever pointing as the guide for their action today.
 They lack the spirit of progress. They have no constructive genius If Jefferson and Jackson who unquestion-
