The Situation at St. Louis.

st. Louis Republic: Evidences null
tiply of the wholesome spirit pervad-
ing democracy and enthusiasm rises
in the rank and file over the prospect
of harmony and united action in the
convention next week. Delegates are
coming to the convention with a zest
which reflects the state of mind of the
party in all sections. Democrats are
prepared for great work upon a high
plane of politics. The talk of the
leaders plainly shows that fractional
chickering's and narrow controversies
and individual Influences have been
subOrdinated to hearty feeling of CO.
operation and a strong desire to carry
the country. The preliminary inaug-
ural features, the marked good will
between the leaders, sane and friendly
expressions, the spirit of fair play to
be accorded candidates, the interested
discussion of party prospects, are elo-
quent of a truly democratic intent and
purpose.
The striking utterance attributed to
ID. J. Campau, national committeeman
gan for the convention. is one of the
gratifying signs of the tone of democ-
racy-"No reorganization; no repud-
iation: no reaffirmation." II is charac-
teristic of the hour 1t is equivalent
to a declaration that there need he
no quarrel among democrats upon any
ground.
There are live issues which demand
attention and which appeal to all dem
ocrats alike. There are no disputes as
to the necessity for restraining illegal
combinations of capital. as to the ne
cessity of tariff revision where the in
equities are manifest robbery of the
people on behalf of monopolieS. and
as to the new and magnetic issue OF
purging the federal service of corrup-
ton. The country demands democ-
racy's attention to these issues, and
democracy will meet the demands
promptly and shoulder to shoulder.
Even as to the support of candi-
dacies a splendid absence of bad par
tisanship is shown. Claims to party
consideration will be presented and
contested Loyalty and stOutly; but
the loyalty and strength will be trans
ferred eventually to center upon the
choice of the whole convention. Signs
point to nomination by general con-
sent after the strength of each individ-
ual before The convention shall have
been fully demonstrated and consider
ed. In that event il will he honest
triumph after hard fought and honor
ably fought contests-not the parrot
like voice of a machine aggregation
whose ayes have been rehearsed. as
il were. months beforehand. and shout
ed to the name of the candidate who
holds the wires.
Mr.. Roosevelt pressed a button in
Washington and the Chicago delegates
did the rest. The nomination of the
democratic convention at St. Louis
will be spontaneous and genuine. The
nominee will await the will of the con-
vention: the convention will not await
his signal

THE GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT.

More convincing argument is found
in favor of the expediency of build
ing first-class roads, in single prac-
teal example where good results have
been obtained, than in any amount
of discussion where actual results are
often exaggerated, finally retard the
promotion of model highways. The
advantages offered to the counties of
Maryland by the recently enacted
law for state aid to bodybuilding, are
inclining county official and residents
to avail themselves of the offer and
the mention of one object-lesson in
the town of Cambridge, demonstrate
ing the greater satisfaction of ma.
cadan roads over other materials will
show how unwise it will be to allow
the opportunity to secure these state
funds to pass unappreciated
Street-building ana repairing in
Cambridge had become a more ex-
pensive item every year, until finally
the lately retired Board of Commits
sioners after considering many plans
of street-ouilding, decided to put
down macadam road on the most
frequented street of the town. They
considered that to meet the situation
in this way would mean a greater
initial expense but would be cheaper
in the end, besides giving much great
er satisfaction to traffic. The results
have fully justified their determine
ton. In this work the commissioners
received free of cost the assistance of
Mr.. A. n johnson, highway engineer
of the Maryland Geological Survey,
and were able to put down a road
which so far has every require
ment and is a.great improvement over
the shell road which it replaced.
There is now about six feet more of
carriage room than in the old street,

THE Philadelphia North american
of the 18th inst prints dispatch from
New York giving the reason why Sen
ator German drew out of the contest
for the Democratic Presidential nom
nation, abseuted himself from the
st. Louis convention and refused to
permit his name to be considered for
the National craftsmanship The ex-
PLANTATION is that if he allowed his
name to go before the convention his
enemies would expose his political
history and that this threat was so in
timidating in its effect on him that
he decided to remain at home, and
told the delegate who had prepared a
speech, commanding him to tear it up.
The story continues: 1t was agreed
that it would be political crime to
permit Germans candidacy to con-
taminate party which seeking, and
was about to profess, regeneration.
The whole ground was gone overland
speech was prepared laying bare
the odious record German has written
i'll the politics of Maryland and the
Nation, A young lawyer was chosen
to deliver this speech before the con-
vention. He was not delegate to
the convention, but the Parker man
agement being informed of the pro-
ject, agreed to furnish him with a
proxy which would entitle him to
claim the floor and be heard. The
speech has been used in these latter
days as an argument against contami-
mating Parker's candidacy, and the
threat has been made that if German
should be chosen chairman his record
in Maryland would be laid before the
country as it was to be laid before the
convention. Advised of this, German
has refused the craftsmanship and
will, it is believed, decline reelection
as minority leader in the Senate, his
one desire now being to placate by
his self placement the enemies who
have forced him to complete aband-
Oment of all his ambitions. Beside
the original of the address it was pro-
posed to present to the st. Louis con-
vention, there is but one copy. That
copy has fallen into the hands of
your correspondent. Following is an
extract: Here, then, in the face of
this convention, with no other motive
before God than the protection
of my party from disaster and shame,
| indict Arthur p. German of a humid
red violations of public law and order;
of thrice and fourfold as many viola
tions of his public and official obliga-
tions; of the barter and sale of offices,
legislation and political influence; of
corrupting and debauching the poll
tics and public service of the country;
of treason to the Democratic party;
of perfdy and treachery to all its pol
itics; of disloyalty to its greatest lead
ers and its highest hopes; of being
'steeped'-to use terms which are COM

ruption and saturated with official

the road drains perfectly, it has a
firmer resisting surface. il dries out
more quickly after rain, and it is
less expensive when its lasting quail
ties are considered In speaking of
the great improvement made by the
road, the Democrat and NelCS Of
Cambridge says:
1.-The Board decided TO build a
modern road although each member
knew there was some opposition to
the new method. Its expense was
pointed out its lasting qualities were
doubted. Fortunately, the Board did
not allow this opposition, which was
by no means Insignificant. to deter it
from going to the bottom of the plan
and now the town is better off by
reason of the courageof the old board.
The street-buildinga and repairing was
becoming more expensive item every
year, and the Board decided TO try to
meet the situation in method more
expensive III the first cost, but cheap
er in the end. All of which goes to
show that the first step made by the
Board in the direction of modern
bodybuilding was a step in the right
direction and further progress in this
direction will result in the betterment
of the streets of the town and a de-
crease in the expense of the building
and repairing streets.
at is well to remark here however
that the work could have been done
better if the country. had been equip
ped steam-roller to pack the materi-
al. AS it turued out, it had to be
left to passing teams to pack the road
and in order to hold the material in
place, great deal of fine stuff had
to be put on, rendering the road dus-
tier than would have been necessary
if steam-roller had been available.
In the course of thine, however the
fine stuff will pack and disappear as
the road becomes more used. 1t is
also said that the cost of the road
need not have been as great as it
proved as certain items of expense
which may be curtailed in the future
were unnecessarily undergone.

THE MAN WHO WHITES.

Every community knows the
man who sits on a storeboX and
whittles, finds fault with his neigh
Dor and brags how much better he
could do it than his neighbor, yet
who never goes out and does any
thing right himself. We have all
seen that fellow.
He is the prototype of the Demo
cratic party, in politics. 1t has been
so for forty years, hand running and
now is starting on a new lap. The
platform OF the Democratic party :,
adopted at st. Louis, shows conclu-
sively that the party is not ready to
do ANYTHING; it is sitting on the store
box abusing the other fellow and
Dragging about what it would do if it
had a chance.
The Rel ublican party began
doing things in 1861. Every step
of progress this country has made
since then has been under Republican
administration and Republican laws.
The party in 1897 had to go back and
do them oyer again, after brief Dem
ocratic administration had undone
the laborof years.
The Republican party in its plat
form tells in plain language what it
intends to do. The Democratic party
is not specific, but intlmates that it
will work wonders.
Now, if you had a job of important
work you wanted attended to would
you give it to the fellow who has been
sitting on the storebox for forty years,
whiting, Dragging and faultfnding,
or would you entrust it to the other
fell who has beenI' doing things, land
doing them right, notwithstanding
the faultfinding and nagging of the

SILENCE NOT A PLEDGE.

In his role of advisor emeritus of
the Democratic party, Mr.. Grover
Cleveland has been discussing the ac-
ton of the st. Louis convention. Re-
ferring to the money question he SAYS
that he does not overlook the fact
that two clear and unimpeached YER
dictssof the people stand recorded in
favor of the gold standard, and that
its perpetuity has been secured by
Federal enactments." Then, the dis
tinguished ex-President goes on to
argue that the telegram of Judge
Parker to the convention supplies a
plank in disabled platform" and
pledges the Democratic party to the
maintenance of the gold standard.
With all Difference to the opinion
OF Mr. Cleveland, who is Offering a
mitigating circumstance in behalf of
a client who has already pleaded
guilty, the Parker telegram does
nothing of the kind. The money
question was ignored in the st. Louis
platform because the delegates in
favor of the Republican system of
sound money did not dare force
their demands. The BRYAN followers,
welded to free silver and fiat money,
We're too strong to be turned down
and the convention compromised its
differences on the question by a cow
ardly dodge. So far as the Demo
cratic party is concerned, and it must
be judged by its platform utterances,
the money planks OF 1896 and 1900
stand, and they must stand, as tenets
of the Democratic creed until chang
ed by a vote of the Democratic
party in convention assembled.
The tariff question is also FEEDER
al enactment" as Mr.. Cleveland
would say. 1t would be just as logical
as Mr.. Cleveland's argument to insist
that the omission of the tariff plank
from the Republican platform would
remove the issue from the field of pol
tiles. The money question is just as
much an issue as the tariff and must
continue to be so long as the stability
of our currency is opposed by proba-
bly, a majority of the Democratic
party.
