THEY WANT REVISION

Any one who thinks that tariff revision has been entirely forgotten or ignored by Republicans is mistaken. True the Iowa idea' as it was called. has not been very active of late, but 1t has not been wholly abandoned. It Is also true that most of the Republican leaders are averse to any tampering with the tariff just at this tme-not because they do not see that there should be reductions, but because they are. afraid to touch the tariffs and the trusts just on the eve of a PresIden- tial election. Of course, there are some who favor the highest duties for protec. tion's sake. and because 1t is profitable to those whose money is such an import. ant factor In Republican politics. sucl as these want no tariff revision and w1I not agree to any unless they find that f would benefit the Party.
 There are prominent Republicans. how ever. who see the lniquities and injustice of the present system. but who know tha 1t Is an exceedingly ticklish subject an, that any interference with 1t just nov might lose some Republican votes, ant possibly cost the Party its position. Flo all that. there Is discomfort and dissatis faction, especially in the West. For ex ample. The Minneapolis Journal is one O the prominent Republican papers of thu Northwest. and in an editorial copied elsewhere on this page 1t plainly avowi itself in favor of revision, and speaks O

A Critical Juncture.

Minneapolis Journal.
 The Journal believes that the welfare O. this country and of the Republican Party, as dominating the policies of the country, would be best served by reVls- ing some of the principal schedules of our present tariff along the lines of mod crate protection on sound Republican basis. We realize that this policy is wig orously opposed by the great majority of the leaders of the party, and espe- c1any by the great business interests the maintenance of the present tariff schedules. The only method. then. of ac- complaining anything along the line which The Journal believes is right and are adversely affected by these sched- ules to express their opinion upon them when given the opportunity, and direct the action of the Republican Party in their several sections of the country up on this important question. This should be done in State Conventions and in dis trict conventions in the framing of plat forms and in the nomination and cleo ton of suitable candidates for Congress who will stand for these principles, and, fully as important as either, in the se- lection of delegates to the great quad rt tnnial gatherings of the Republican Party which formulate on broad lines the general policies of that party for the Quadrenntal period.
 The Journal believes the people of Min nesota agree with its position, and do not wish to be represented by men who might naturally be regarded as unfriend- ly to tarin revision. The Journal be- lieveS in standing for Its position at the critical time for framing these policies, as well as at time when advocacy of principles will have but little effect If the people of Minnesota select delegates committed to or representative of inter- ests supporting the doctrine of high pro- tection and "standpatism," they must not complain if hereafter the Republican | Party and the representatives of the northwest in Congress follow their lead.

POLITICAL POINTS

liam R. Hearst on the other. Judge Parker alone. his friends contend, can unify these discordant clements. Take him out of the campaign, they say. and there would be nothing left. Hope of victory would vanish. He Is identified with neither faction. The regularity of his party record cannot be questioned. The very fact that he has never express ed his opinions on the great questions that have divided the party Is an ele- ment of strength.
 It Is asserted by his friends with the utmost emphasis that Judge Parker is wholly unpledged to any man. Not even Davi dB. Hill, who Is in full charge of the campaign on his behalf, has a prom ise from him of any kind or would vent ure to ask for any pledge He would be a bold man who would dare to make such suggestion to Judge Parker face to face. His personal and official records are clear. He Is safe and conservative. These are the salient features of the DOT trait of their candidate that the friends of Judge Parker are holding before the eye of the Democratic party.

the methods of bringing 1t about. The Journal seems assured that 1t represents the feelings and desires of the people oi Minnesota. and if that Is true. it is not unlikely that it also represents the sentI- ment of Republicans in other States of that section. If that Is true. and they make themselves heard and felt as they have the power to do the inflexible stand patters may find themselves in delicate position. They may find themselves forced to reduce duties and thus offend the trusts, or compelled to stand fast and alienate the conservative element of the country. Either way will help the Demo- crats if they will take advantage of their opportunities.

The Constitution In which favorable men ton was made of the desire of Congress man Griggs 10 go as a delegate to the National Convention, The Chattanooga Times. into use its expression-"punc- turing" q campaign rumor to the effect that The Constitution kindly reference to Judge Griggs indicated its support of Mir. Hearst, says:
 The Constitution with sufficient def1- niteness to satisfy those who can read between the lines, gives a quietus to the story. The Constitution declares that Il favored Judge Griggs, not because he cause he had discharged the duties of chairman of the National Congressional Committee with conspicuous ability and because he was Democrat of worth and fidelity. Going further, The Constitution calls attention to the fact that Charles Pendleton of The Macon Telegraph, a man who stands closer. to the Cleveland sentiment. probably. than any other mentioned for delegate. Tt Is we'll known" says The Constitution, that The Constitution cannot properly be chased among the spokesmen of MT Cleveland. And yet in our earnest desire to have the party avoid personal issues and get to- sether on common ground, we would be glad to see Editor Pendleton chosen as a delegate from the State at large to tie in way, be a creditable one. His can didacy would no more mean that an ef- fort was under way to capture the State for Cleveland than does the suggestion of Judge Griggs's name represent a sim liar effort on behalf of Hearst"
 The Constitution is for the man who can win!
 Since the doubtful States are the decid ing factors in all calculations as to Dem ocratic success. their preferences must now. naturally. be given prime consderu- tion by those States which, like Georgia will roll up the usual Democratic maj jor- ity, whoever may be nominated.
 Of the doubtful States the one most needed and the one without which Dema- cratic success is impossible, is New York Fortunately. the Democratic Convention of that State meets early in April-beforc the date of the Georgia primary election.
 There Is plenty of time, then. for Geor. gia Democrats to keep cool, aligniny themselves one way or another, if thul will-but. above, all things. they shouIt! keep in. view the fact that this should be an anti Republican light only. and that 1t is not good policy to be spiklng.

rs SHIRE TO DO TT.

MT. Roosevelt Is pretty sure to do the wrong thing, or the right thing in the wrong way" is the very proper conclu- sion of The Philadelphia Record. This disposition, or habit, has been in evil dence ever since the unfortunate crime which made him President. He mistakes conciliation for cowardice, and seems to think it a mark of courage to do what so ever he pleases without regard to con sequences. There was not a shred of req son why he should have insisted on keep Ing a negress in office in Indianola except his desire to show the people of that com munity that he was boss. There was no excuse for turning out Miss Todd in Del aware, other than to show the world that he will stand by his friends. There can be no defence for his efforts to fasten Crum on the people of Charleston except the conceited arrogance of man deter mined to have his own way.
 Retaliation is one of the purely human attributes of our natures, and Roosevelt provokes 1t every time he touches the race question, or has anything to do or say about the colored people. Whenever ne appoints a colored person to office he manages tc do 1t in a way to arouse an- lagonism and that is almost sure to react on the colored people. The apparent de- termination of the President to obliterate solor lines is met by a corresponding de- termination on the part of the whites to iraw the line tighter and more impreg- 1able. We believe the President himself B not entirely blind to these facts, but ais egotism prevents him from needing :he warning or retracing his steps.
 Other Presidents appointed ,colored men 70 office. but it was done in such way as Q cause little bitterness or friction. We ldmit that Roosevelt has a right to ap- point them. He had right to appoint a negro postmistress at Indianola, and ne- ITO Collector at Charleston, but neither appointment was either satisfactory or ludicious.And the very fact that he selects Southern communities for the exploitation If his race. aft1nities makes his course all he more inexcusable. And what is not 1t all unimportant, Is the fact that tho Southern people not only resent his course put are thereby goaded to become more ntolerant towards the entire negro raco Ie ought to see this. but cannot.

Judge Parker in the Tilden Campaign

In the Tiiden campaign of 1876. Alton B. Parker, then young and practicing lawyer and a partner of Judge August schoonmaker in Kingston; Ulster Coun- ty. took the stump for the Democr tic National ticket The editor of The Sun had the pleasure of hearing him on more than one occasion, and MT. Bryan. in the palmiest days of his oratory. never ex- cited greater enthusiasm or applause. Judge Parker at that time stood square ly and unequiyoeally on the. reform plat form on which Tilden ran for President and those of his friends who are privi- legged to know his political opinions can testify that he stands firmly on the same platform to-day. That platform was an ideallstic interpretation of Jef- fersonian principles as applied to current public abuses and needs, and it is only necessary to inscpret that platform in the light of preserS political conditions to ascertain, as near as may be the case with any man, the political opinions of Judge Parker The Sun affords the edi- tor of The COmmoner this hint, with the assurance that 1t can be verified by any gray-haired Democrat of this State who remembers the work done in Ulster SSTnty fSo Sas in rolSdS llS5S W where majority of and the reform platform

 Indianapolis Special to New York Herald.
 Leading Democrats of Indiana have de- cided after several conferences on the subject that the candidate of the party for President should come from New York State, and the Indiana allegation will go to the national convention with out Instructions. but with the under standing that. if New York agrees upon a man. the full thirty votes of this State will be cast for lim. The only limita- tion that Is placed on this agreement Is that William R. Hearst shall not be the man, as many of the Democrats. of the State are opposed to him.
 Mayor Mcclellan is being urged by some of the Tammany leaders in letters to prominent Democrats, which suggest his name. and say that they believe 1t would be possible to unite the New York delegation on him. There is a strong sentiment in the State for Judge Parker, but Democrats generally say they would be satisfied with Mayor Mcclellan if he should come before the convention with a solid New York delegation at his back.

. ALARAMA r.Rhns

The Advertiser a few days ago alluded to the vast amount of money invested in new industries along the line of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad in the State of Alabama, as compared with such in- dustries in all other States through which the Louisville and Nashville System runs. The editorial in question alluded to the annual report of the General Immigration and Industrial Department of the Louis vile and Nashville System for the year 1903.
 The Traffic Department of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad has within the past few days compiled a supplementary | statement from the General Immigration Department, showing industries located. and families and persons settled, along the line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for the period, January l. 1904, to March lo 1904. The result shows that during that period there were eighty-two industries established along the system, with capital stock of s34s4,5oo Of these, forty-four were established in Alabama with capital stock of g, 900, consider ably over half in number and nearly -two- thirds In point of capital stock being in Alabama Alabama leads in cotton and woolen industries. woodworking plants, fertilizer factories. car works. lime works. cotton seed products. marble and other quarries and miscellaneous plants. There were settled on the system PA families, or soe persons. of which lH families, or 521 persons, settled in Alabama.
 This is only cumulative evidence that Alabama leads. and does not follow Geor- sla or any other State in the race for commercial supremacy.
