LIVE UP TO THE PLAN.

In the State Convention at Green's
boro a resolution was introduced to
decrease the representative because of
the difficulty of hearing and transact
ing business N a convention contain
ing four or five thousand people. The
remedy is not to decrease the repre-
sentatioE-one for every one hundred
and fifty voters The Gastonia Ga
Zette thus shows how the number in
attendance can be decreased:
How came it SO big? Well, simply
this. The plan of organization was
disregarded. 1t does not contemplate
or provide for more delegates than
and should have had only II men in
the convention. But it had forty or
more. We quote as an example and
not to criticise. This should De rene-
died. 1t is simply a matter of execu-
tive regulation. Enforce this plan of
organization. exclude all but delegates
from seats in the convention proper,
and there will be about 1880 mem
bers. These could be seated in All
ordinary opera house, ordinarily good
voices could be heard, and business
could be transacted.
There can't be too many Democrats
on election day, but there were too
many on hand at the convention.
That's the way one high in official
circles described the situation. And it
was accurate
Seats on the floor should
be provided for the 1,249
delegates-no more. Arrangements
in galleries should be made for
all spectators. Castor is not the only
county that sent forty delegates to
cast II votes. Wake sent g to cast
3S votes. Rowan made every Demo-
crat'' a delegates and there were hun
dreds present to cast its small vote.
In the National Convention on the
floor there is a seat for every dele
gate-and there are two dele
gates for every member of Congress
and not an extra seat. We will
have to have q similar arrangement
in North Carolina. and then there will
be no repetition of the midnight dis
order at Greensboro, though there will
never be a convention as quiet as a
love feast There is no need to change
the plan or reduce the representation.
The thing to do is to hold fast to the
plan and enforce it.

charges made against him. Other
friends, so it is said. have advised him
to "let the matter Drop" AS to DR..
advised him to proceed in the courts
against his assailant and others to "let
the matter drop"
The people of Albany have decided
to permit neither course. They have
an interest in this matter higher than
the interest of any two men. and they
have demanded a full and thorough
investigation and will go to the bottom
of the affair. The worst disgrace that
can befall any city is a chief of police
hand in glove with the criminal
classes and it exists too often. If DR..
Broughton is right, Albany needs a
new chief. If. DR.. Broughton was
wrongly informed and he has SANDER
ed an innocent man, a new evangelist
is needed for the revival services.
But the people in that community
who have taken the matter in their
own hands by demanding an investi-
CATION are acting the part of men and
showing themselves sensible citizens.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.l
 London, June 20-The Times prints ten columns of dissertations, upon the Russo-Japanese war from the pen of Count Leo Tolstoi. It is written in the most violent style. The trend of this most remarkable document is primarily against war and it's horrors but 1t principally thunders a Phillippic against the Russian government and the orthodox church, Incidentally the count scathingly arraigns the existing order of things and breathes gloomy forbo .,ings both preaching and prac- tieing revolution. Count Tolstoi, holds the emperor up to contempt as hat"unfortunate entangled young man, the recognized leader of a hundred and thirty millions of people who is con tiuually deceived and is thtr fore com pelled to contradict himscit." Japan comes in for a share in the counts stinging comments for having to:clbly resisted what the count terms the "uE- provoked aggression of Russia.

A Number Of Wcrkmen Were Killed

New York, March 3.-Five persons
are known to have been killed, about

Of whom are believed to be dead, are

| day Of the steel skeleton of the Hotel
Darlington, history apartment
house in course OF erection at 81 West

been erected as far as the 18th floor
and the structure was swarming with
iron workers, masOnS and laborers,
when, without an instant's warning,
the upper floor sagged and collapsed
and the whole structure fell with a
crash that was heard for blocks, and
shook all the buildings in the vicinity
A portion of the steel frame fell upon
the rear of the Hotel Patterson, on
West 47th street, crashing in the wall
of the dining room and killing Mrs
Ella Lacey Storrs, the wife Of Frank
Storrs, wealthy resident of Rye, as
she was sitting at luncheon with the
wife of Rev. Dr. Minot Savage, who
escaped unhurt
Among those missing is Frank J.

Immediately after the crash, and the
work of searching the ruins will be
continued all night. Owing to the
enormous mass Of metal wreckage
days may elapse before all the bodies
are recovered.
The cause Of the disaster generally
accepted is the overlQading of the
floors. Foreman James Halpin, in
charge of the iron workers, stated that
there was large quantity of cement

In spite Of this and previous warn

Adjoining the collapsed building on
the west is the four-story brown stone
residence of Harold Brown. Some of
the huge iron beams struck the side
of the house and stove holes in the
wall and roof and dislodged a part Of
the brown stone front, which was
thrown to the street. The occupants
escaped uninjured. On the east side
is a house occupied by A Walpole

pills had gone home to luncheon few
minutes before the crash occurred.
