WHERE DEMOCRACY STANDS.

In nominating Judge Alton b. Parker,
Of New York, as the candidate of the
Democratic party for President the st
Louis Convention pursued the only prac-
tical course that lay open to it. There
were but two available and plausible men
to whom the convention could look with
hope of success-Parkcr and Cleveland.
With Cleveland's emphatic statement
that he would not accept the nomination
Parker was the only--and practically the
nnanimous-choice of tho Democratic
party. With harmony and unity in the
party he will be as easily elected Presi-
dent as he was made tho standard bearer
of Democracy. There is so much of dis
trust and disgust with Roosevelt that tho
high character of Judge Parker, the sound
principles he represents and the high
standard Of his private and public life
make striking contrast between the
candidates of the two great parties of this
country. Roosevelts private life is not
questioned, but in his official capacity he
has overstepped the bounds of even such
vague theory as political justice, and
has insnlted the people of every section
of the South in the matter of appoint
ments to Office Such course has ceased
TO meet the approval of the thinking peo-
pie of the North, who are beginning to
look upon the South as entitled to the
same degree Of political recognition and
respect as themselves.
While the Democratic platform is silent
on the money question, Judge Parker's
views were expressed in unmistakable
terms as soon as he was notified of his
nomination. There is no effort to con-
ccal his policy with tho hope of gaining
the support Of those whose financial views
differ from his. The honor and straight
wardness of the man is shown in every
line of the following telegram, which
Judge Parker sent to w. F. Sheehan dur
ing the session of the conventions:
81 regard the gold standard as firmly
and irreyocably established and shall act
accordingly if the action of the conven-
ton of to-day shall be ratified by the
people.
''As the platform is silent on the sub
ject, my views should be made known to
the convention, and if they are proved to
DO unsatisfactory to the majority, | re-
quest you to decline the nomination for
me at once, so that another may be nomi-
mated before adjournment"
The convention stuck to- Parker, and
to-day the Democratic party stands com
mitted to sound financial policy, with
n leader beyond reproach, a platform
conservative and broad, and the fairest
prospect she has had in years to elect
her chosen leader With the solid South
and large and growing following in the
North and West, the Democratic party
indeed has tlattoring prospects.

Flood at Kansas City.

Kansas City, July S.--All of the west
bottoms on the Missouri side, including
tho union depot and the great wholesale
district of Kansas City, will have been
covered with water before the day has
closed. A break in the Kansas River,
near Armourdale, Kansas, last night,
sending current of water into the bot
toms, that first inundated the outer rail-
road yards and finally crept north,
flooded cellars in the wholesale houses
and spread out toward the union depot.
The water rose slowly and, while it un-
doubtedly will do great damage, it is not
believed that the tremendous losses of
last year will be dup licated.

PRIESTS REBEL AGAINST ARCH.
BISHOP sERAPHIM.
Latter's Proclamation of Excommuni-
cation Provokes a Signed Statement
of Independence and Scorn of His
Dictation-A Stir in Greek Church
Circles. ri.
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Winnipeg, Man., Sept. S.-Much ex-
element has been caused among Cali
clans of western Canada by the action
of Archbishop Seraphim, the orthodox
metropolitan of America, who styles
himself the organizer of the independ-
ent church of Canada, in issuing a
proclamation communicating four
priests in Winnipeg whom he ordained
in August, 1903.
The priests have been excommuni-
Gated for what his grace calls i'll his
proclamation bad conduct. In re"ly, the
priests say that Seraphim has no iuris-
diction and that, after their ordination
in 1908, they called a meeting of all
the clergy of that faith in Manitoba
and the territories and organized an
Independent Greek consistory as the
democratic head of the Greek church
in Canada. They assert that on this
occasion Seraphim was excommunl-
Gated by the clergy, and that his au-
thority has not been recognized since.
In statement signed today by the four
assertions are made:
Ellis grace dropped into the hands
of Russian politics, and wanted us to
give up our church properties under
his and the holy Russian synod's juris
diction. But we are living in a free
country, and we are subjects of the
British banner We are feeling like
free men, and that is what his grace
calls bad conduct If he knows OF
any other bad conduct we are anx
ious to hear from him. We leave his
grace free to excommunicate all OF oul
clergymen.''
