Wherefore7

Wherefore2
Somebody who knows everything
owes 1t to a suffering and peyspiring
world to explain why national conyen-
lions are held most commonly In the
hot season. No spot on the habitable
globe is more crowded with humanity
than the hall where national conven-
ton is held Persons are bound to be
uncomfortable by reason of the crowd
ing. Why then increase their suffer-
ings by forcing them to remain in a
Turkish bath for three or four days at
stretch? 1t is cruelty. st. Louis was
little hotter than Chicago or st. Paul
on July and the four succeeding days.
The delegates would have been sweat
ed as much in Boston as in st. Louis,
for 1t was hot weather, and always by
hook or crook nearly twice as many
persons are admitted to convention
hall as the convention hall was ever
intended to hold. That being the case,
conventions should always hereafter be
held in cool and pleasant weather and
In halls which will seat not more than
1900 persons.

Especial Washington letter.
"HE unanimity with which the
nominations of Parker and Da-
Wis are applauded by Democrats
and the enthusiasm with which
the platform has been received indicate
Democratic success. William j. Bryan
and Grover Cleveland, William Bourke
Cochran and Charles A. Towne, Will
liam Randolph Hearst and David B.
Hill-each representative of vast fol-
lowing and together representing every
conceivable phase of Democratic opin-
ion-are supporting the ticket. That
they base their support on different
grounds matters not They are support
ing 1t, which is the main thing. At
last, after eight years of bitter dissen-
sions, the Democrats are reunited, and
their reunion means victory. Certainly
a change of administration is needed.
The departments are honey combed with
corruption, extravaganza runs riot, tax
es are exorbitant, the deficit in the
treasury Is growing, our merchant ma
rine is nil, and laborers are being dis
charged by the thousand. All these
evils should be cured, and that they
will not be cured by Republicans is
patent to all who having eyes see and
having ears hear what is happening in
this great republic.
Those who hoped for Republican sue
cess through Bryan bolt are hopeless
now, for he will not bolt. His power
full infuence-more powerful now than
ever before-will be exerted for the
ticket. and his hosts Of friends and
admirers will follow his lead-to vic
tory. On the 4th Of March at high
noon we will come into our own again

Tammany Orators.

Tammany Orators.
If the Tammany Hall Democrats at
the st. Louis convention had been able
to precipitate their orators into the
fight there would have been such a
food Of eloquence as has had no equal.
Tammany had a company Of orators
there whose like is hard to fnd-Wil-
liam Bourke Cochran, Webster Davis,
Charles "A. Towne, William Sulzer and
Senator Grady, to say nothing Of lesser
lights. 1t was an astounding aggrega-
ton of talent. By the way, there are
two mysteries about Grady. One is
why he has never been sent to congress
and the other is why he is always
called Senator Grady" He must be
man Of rare genius, for his fame as
an orator is not only wide as his coun-
try, but laps over into foreign lands,
and yet he has held no higher office
than that of state senator. That he
would take high rank in the house Of
representatives at Washington no man
doubts. Then why does he not go to
congress? AS q matter Of curiosity
intend to find out

with 1896, the election figures show
that she is swinging back to the Demo
cratic column. In 1902 Mr.. Odcll
squeezed into the governorship by the
very small plurality of about 5000,
whereas in 1896 she gave Mckinley
plurality Of 26S,469.
That she will give her 80 electoral
votes to Parker and Davis is not to be
doubted for one moment.
In 1900 her vote contributed to the
election Of Jefferson. She enjoys the
peculiar distinction Of always voting
for the winning candidate, for every
body knows that Samuel j. Tilden was
elected in 1876 and was cheated out of
that high Office.
las New York goes, so goes the
Union" has passed into proverb. Sub
tracing her 80 votes from the &C. we
have only 81 to gain.
Connecticut almost invariably votes
with New York. Subtracting her z
votes from the 81 we have only 80 TO
gain.
Maryland and West Virginia under
normal conditions are Democratic. The
nomination of Henry G. Davis renders
them surely Democratic. Take their Is
votes from the 80 and we have to
hustle for only 10 more.
1t is thing incredible that with
West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey,
New York and Connecticut going Dem
ocratic, Delaware with her glorious
antecedents and with Mr.. Addicks rum
ming her Republican politics will go
Republican.
With her electoral votes we only
lack - of the greatest prize for which
| statesmen ever contended.
The un-American antics now being
cut by the Republican governor of Colo
RADIO will give us her 5 electoral votes,
which leaves us only short of the
goal.
Nevada has been Democratic for
eight years and is so now. Montana
has always gone Democratic with an
honest election and fair count. These
two states place us within one vote of
the promised land.
Rhode Island has a Democratic gov
ernor filling his second term, and with
the general trend so strong toward De-
mocracy the chances are that Little
Rhody will do herself the honor of
voting for the Democratic candidate,
which would give us three more votes
than we need.
BY reason of the Kilkenny cat fight
between the Republican factions in
Wisconsin, the one headed by Governor
La Toilette, the other by United States
Senators Spooner and Quarles, 1t is
among the probabilities that her 1a
votes will be registered for Parker and
Davis, giving us 10 votes more than
we need.
The foregoing statement takes no &C.
count Of Idaho, Indiana, Illinois and
Utah-all classed as doubtful in the
forecast referred to and any one Of
which we may carry.
II Governor Van SAINT Of Minnesota
heads an independent Republican ticket
for governor, as it is predicted he will
do, then we may bag the II votes of
that state.
1t is not overstating the case to
say that Democratic prospects appear
brighter now than they did in July
1875, 1884 or 1892, in all three of which
years we swept the country from sea
to sea and triumphantly elected oul
candidates, although we were robbed
Of the fruit Of our victory in 1875.

We have long accustomed ourselves
to believe that all progress originates
within our own glorious country, but it
is not wholly true. Occasionally new
idea comes out Of effete Europe. For

SLATER FACES
GRAVE CHARGES
Famous Private Detective
Accused of Manufacturing
Evidence in Divorce Suit

LONDON, April 23.-In Bow-street
police court to-day Henry Slater, head
of the best-known private detective
agency in England, was held in heavy
bail, charged with conspiring to pre-
vent the due course of justice. With
him in the dock were Albert Osborne,
his lawyer, and two private detectives
employed by Slater. They also were
put under heavy bail.
The case is a sequel to a sensational
divorce suit, in which Slater was en-
ployed to secure evidence against the
husband. A decree was obtained last
November, but the authorities became
suspicious, and after a rehearing this
week the decree was rescinded, the jury
finding that the husband was induced,
through the agency of Slater and Os-
borne, to misconduct himself in order
that his wife might obtain a divorce.
The rehearing attracted great public
interest Sir Edward Clarke and two
leading lawyers defended Slater, but
were unable to refute the scathing ac-
cusations of Solicitor General Carson,
who revealed the extraordinary meth
DDS pursued by the detective agency.
More than 215,000 was paid to Slater
and Osborne for the evidence on which
the decree was originally granted.
The Solicitor General said that it was
deliberately concocted by the lowest
type of men and women, who perjured
themselves for small sums of money.
Osborne who is a rather prominent
lawyer, startled English legal circles
by saying he would pay for evidence if
he could not get it in any other man
ner, and that he had a right to charge
as much as a client would give him,
regardless of the fixed charges which
exist among all solicitors here.
The Solicitor General bitterly de-
nounced the existence of such an
agency as Slater's, which, he declared,
bounded innocent men and women with
a regularity which could scarcely be
conceived except for the present dis
closures, which were all the more
alarming as Slater was employed in the
majority of divorce and similar cases.
The arrests are expected to produce
further sensational matter relating to
other cases. The prisoners will come
up for further hearing April 80, to-day
proceedings being merely formal.

DECREE is SET ASIDE
Special Dispatch to The Call.


LINCOLN, Neb., April 22.-The Su-
preme Court Of Nebraska to-day set
aside a decree of divorce granted at
Omaha to Mrs. Paul J. Schafer, for
merly of Napa, CAL, but now Mrs.
Herbert Beck of Sacramento, and by
its ruling decreed that the woman is
still the wife of Schafer, although she
has been living at Sacramento since
October. 1902, as the wife of Beck.
Schafer presented proof that his wife
had secured her decree by unlawfuIly
testifying before the court at Omaha
that she had established a six months
residence in Nebraska
Two days after getting the divorce
she married Beck in Council Bluffs
Iowa, and accompanied him to Sacra-
mento, where she and her two children
have since lived with Beck. Schafer
presented affidavits that he was a man
Of good standing in his home town Of
Napa, where he is now deputy post
master. He also proved that he had
served as private secretary to Con-
gresham Metcalf and had held other
offices for many years.
Last summer Schafer found his eld-
est daughter, IL years old, walking
with a woman on the streets of Sacra-
mento. He took possession of the child,
but was arrested for child stealing.
Then he found that his wife, who had
suddenly left him in 1902, was the wife
of Beck. He gave up the child and was
released, after which he ferreted out
the facts concerning her surreptitious
divorce in Omaha. He Immediately
took steps to have it set aside by the
Nebraska courts.

La Belle St. Leon Says Cir
Gus Life in Winter Time

Miss La Belle st. Leon, who is to
appear in San Francisco the last OF
this month, is one of the most dash
ing little bareback riders In the busi-
ness That "all is not gold that gilt
ters'' is evidenced by her statement OF
rehearsals while In winter quarters.
She says:
Those who sit under the cleaning
lights around the sawdust arena of a
circus and see the silk gowned and
bespangled women equestrians as they
dash around the ring on a prancing
steed, kissing their hands to the ad-
miring spectators, would be sadly dis
appointed were they to visit the train
ing quarters of a circus in the spring
time, before the circus takes the road,
and see the women bareback riders
practicing.
"At Dallas, Tex, the winter quarters
of the Floto shows, may be seen on
the vacant lots around the town the
reverse side of the gay picture. Six
and fluffy skirts and lingeries are con-
spicuous only by their absence. The
women riders are clad in calico dresses
that hang Imply about them and their
hair is generally wadded up in tight
little ball on the top Of their heads.
II the day is bright they wear sun
bonnets, and the appearance of young
lady IN an old calico dress reaching
only to her knees and a big sunbonnet
on her head, and standing on the back
of the horse as it trots in circle about
an open field, is startling. If 1t is not
exactly picturesque"
