Good News for Democracy.
Charleston News and Courier.

SHdTleStOH NeWS anu OOuTleT.
 The New York Sun in it's evening edition of Tuesday last has the follow ing article on MT. August Belmont's in fiuence at the Democratic national headquarters in New York:
 "The Man of the Hour at Democratic national headquarters Is MT. August Belmont his the conceiving brain and the guiding hand. He succeeds where others confess failure. He pours oil on the troubled waters, and the waves of Thomas Taggart may write himself chairman and William F. Sheehan think himself chairman, but MT August Belmont is the Real Thing. the Power the Desk. the Deus ex Machina-that is to say, the god let down by (and not from) the machine.
 Business is business, Is MT. Bei- monts motto. and as soon as he hung up his hat order was brought out of chaosS He did not have to tell comic stories or smile by the yard, like Tag gart. or hold whispered conferences, and there was hustling and doing. There was will in hls nod and potency in his monosyllables. Orders were no longer taken from Taggart. but from MT. Belmont. The campaign was on.
 NO one but Mir. Belmont could patch up truce with Tammany Hall. Tom Taggart was wringing his hands in de- spair; Blue-E Eyed Billy Sheehan had BiVen the conunOrum up, ana the can didate at Esopus could only say, Bless you, my children!' But MT. Belmont applied business methods. He got the Executive Committee together, and said, Let Tammany in and the thing was done. The old organization Is now represented on the committee by Sena- tor Victor J. Bowling and everybody is happy again, MT. Belmont will prob ably settle the question whether Judge Parker shall go on the stump in the same way-that is to say, the Demo- cratic candidate will do as he advises MT. Belmont has become the inspira- tion, the motive force, the genius of the campaign, and no one disputes his authority"
 Of course this is all written to make fun of the Democratic party and to discount the effect of MT. Belmont's in f1uence In strengthening the Demo cratic campaign. The influence of MT. Belmont in the conduct of the Demo- cratic campaign, which The Sun affects to ridicule, Is just what the Republi- cans dear. In this campaign 1t is the Democratic party that has the enthusi- asm, jtsis the .pemocratic party that has the sympathy of the independent voters, and if the campaign Is properly managed 1t Is the Democratic party that will win. The business experience, the genius of organization, the systematic methods of Mir. Belmont are just what the Democratic party needs.

Judge Parker has cleared away all doubts as to his attitude on the question of Phil- ippine independence, and has made it im- possible for any imperialistic edtor, Repub- liGan or Democrat to pretend that there is no essential difference between his views and those of the President

Parker has tntrenched himself squarelv on the most Fundamental principles of this republic. He and his party have sworn allegiance to the Democratic doctrine that men shall have the right to govern themselves unhampered by masters of another race and cline.

One Way To Stop A Dog Fight

Utica Observer.
 T saw an ugly dog fight stopped in a very handy manner the other day." says an agent whose business takes him to almost every section of the city.
 Tt was between a couple of bull. dogs, and they went at 1t in a manner that threatened to put an end to the life of both. Finally each got a hold that could not be broken, and the men looking on were afraid that the dogs would kill each other. It was short distance from a saloon, and a young man who appeared to be interested in one of the dogs as owner ran to the saloon and brought out a bottle of seltz CT water. Approaching the fighting dogs he aimed the syphon at their faces and pressed the lever. There was Q stream of water straight into the mix up of struggling and growing an- finals. and 1t had scarcely touched their -es VI they let go instantly and

Fat Fathers and Thin Sons.

LOndOn ChronlCIe.
 Talking of figures-the interesting kind of figures-will somebody explain the true inwardness of obesity? Are people fated to be fat, regardless of the quality of food they consume? The late Lord Salisbury in his final years, was giant in girth in other respects among his so-called peers His son, Lord Hugh Cecil Is the lankiest Member ot Parliament. "Ah. so was at his age" said his father to a friend shortly be- fore his death. Then must Lord Hugh also who often lunches on no more than a bis cult. go the way to all flesh? This is not party question. Sir William Harcourt is the most weighty member of Parliament in body as well as in character. His son, Mir. Lulu Harcourt. is like the son of the late Tory Premier. @ lamppost. which is exactly what his Illuminating father was at that age. Other instances might be named of young politicians who, with parental precedents before them, are in trouble about their bodies rather than their souls

 New York Special.
 Democratic and Republican campaign managers in New Jersey have just fin- ished canvasses in every county in the State. In no sense are the figures re- ceived regarded as conclusive. The canvasses will be followed when the lines of battle are more absolutely do- fined by personal house to house visits, to obtain more absolute Knowledge of the preferences of the voters.
 The result of the canvasses without a doubt places New Jersey in the doubt . full column, for the Democrats at this time see an estimated plurality of 6,40O for Parker; while the Republicans claim Roosevelt will receive a plurality of 22,700. Mckinley carried the State in 1900 by 56.S99. On both sides the claim is made that the result in November has been conservatively forecasted on carefully collected estimates.

The worn-out old Man.


 When grow old we want to get off the streets. We always sympathize with the old men who have nothing to do; who are not wanted anywhere, and wno have no place to go. When we become old and use less. we want place of our own to go to: which We manage as We please. We hope it will be 6 little place where we can potter with fruits and flowers, vegetables and chickens and keep busy. We don't want to give people the opportunity to show neglect. nor idle time in which to see vis- ions of the grim monster. old men who loiter about the streets, it always seems to us. make a mistake.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch thinks hthe conduct of some of the Republi- tcap newspapers towards Mir Davis, the Democratic nominee for the Vice Presidency, is disgraceful." Our con- temporary need not conflne its censure ] to the opposition newspapers, for they have no monopoly of the business. The
 speech of MT. Root, ridiculing Mir. Da- Rfs. can fairly be placed in the dis
 graceful class, and other prominent
 men are little better. To try to make h man like Mir. Davis unpopular or ridiculous on account of his age, or Ebecause his manner of speech, or his lhabits are not up to the dude mark, is notonIy poor politics but diseredit- lable manners in those who engage in ht His venerable age is no discredit Ito him, and in all other respects he twill certainly not lose anything by tcomparison with the head of the Re- publican flcket--or with the tail of it., Nor that matter.

AN APPROPRIATE RECRUIT.

Some of our esteemed Republican Friends are somewhat elated over a new recruit to the party. True, this new addition is the somewhat noto- Fious Frank James, but what of that? As he expresses it: T am an ex-Con- tederate and an ex-guerrilla, boys, but ] am no longer Democrat" Frank Js entirely too modest. There are nu- merous ex-Confederates, and not a few ex-guerrillas, but noted ex-train rob- bers are scarce. He should have in cluded that among his departed glories. But, 'facilis descensus Averni," or something of the kind, and when one starts down hill, as one humorist ex- pressed 1t, he finds the way greased Eo- the ocasion," and Frank has found it true. From Confederate to train robber was a great fall, and from Dem- .pcrat to Republican is another. Hav- ing started on the downward path his end is marked out and we shall mot be at all surprised if he finishes ln the Kansas Legislature.
 The Hartford Courant rejoices with exceeding great joy over this sinner, plucked as a brand from the burning, as 1t were. It thinks the Republican party should cordially welcome these redeemed political sinners. for, as it expresses it, i've do not think that the Republican party should be more exclusive than heaven, or that the party should be run under different rules than those prevailing in heaven"
 That is somewhat irreverent, but that may be pardoned in a Republican organ. Then, too, 1t must be consollng to such men as Addieks. Byrne and the like to know that their party Is willing to accept and retains ex-train robbers as members in good standing. All that As required of them is to subscribe to 4he Republican articles of faith and accept Roosevelt as the only living IAmerican statesman. Thus fortified and grounded in the faith there can Joe no other requirements made of or about them. Let Frank rejoice and Joe glad for he has reached his level.
