The Democratic text book has this
extraordinary comment:
The Repul ieans have spent 500 ooo.-

plunging forward with their dream OF

Think what 900 000 COO wou have dona

their own people For Instance. New

settlers al a very reasonable interest

with TIE Improvement of their land and
the building Of their homes without
embarrassment
And these crazy Democrats quote
New Zealand. as a specimen of what
Great rtain is doing. while in
another part of their same foolish
book they are protesting against our
improvement of the Philippines. What

make in the Philippines, We have
taken up the burden Of the white man
and Of Christianity, and It is being
taken mp by the Republican party.

Why are the leaders Of tho Demo
err tic party so foolish as to whimper
and cry so over what Is a manifest
duty Of part of the AngloSaxon
race. The American nation has made
IT'S way to Asia, and Is going to do
what good It can there, This is part
Of the blunt programme Of the Repub-
ncan party. 1t will rest upon the Is
sue.

This years presidential election win
not be won by any formal platform.
The Republican platform Is good but
the Republican candidate Is better.
The truth is Mr. Roosevelt Is the real
platform for both parties. Ha Is the

for ths Republicans. He would .

KILKENNY HARMONY
That Ia the Kind That Prevails Among
New York Democrats


New York Democrats
Not since the traditional cats of HI.
kenny were hung across I line by
their tails has there been such an
rs Is heard in New YORK. now that
Judge i. Cady Ilerricl has been nom
mated by the Democrats for governor.
Judge Parker wanted Edward ".
shepard, or District Attorney Jerome
nominated for governor in order to
galNdnlle his CauIpa. su into the sem
bhnce of lie.
David Il. Hill wanted John T.
Stanchtield, because SMuchheld best

New York City. 10 which Mr.. Hin
owes his aScruduncy in the state
Democracy. Mr. Hill had no use for
EcrriCk, who, as Democratic boss Of
Albany county, has been 4 thoru in
his side for years. But, il il said, he
accepted Ilcrrick and put him in nom.
Mation on the principle Of the sales
man who sold slat marked SO for
? u,
would lose less II the bill was never
paid. Hill will lose less In Herrick's
defeat than if he had succeeded in
nominating his friend Stanchfeld
Senator Patrick II. McCarren. the
Brooklyn boss, TO whom Judge Parker
owes his nomination, wanted Comp.
troller Grout nominated, and for a
time he had Mr.. Inns ostenSible sup
port for Grout Judge Parker and
Hill went back on McCarrcn; the
former to placate Charles +. Murphy
and Tammany, and the latter because
he couldn't help himself.
Tammany accepted Herrick be-
cause it was willing to accept any
body who stood for the discontinue
OF Boss McCarren. AS tomuhawk
IN the hands Of Charles f. Murphy
with which to dispatch McCarren, u.
Cady Herrick would serve Tammany
much better thun either Shepard or
Jerome.
Besides da not Judge Herrick's ca.
reer on the bench present sterling
claims on the admiratio and neces-
sities of Tammany? His abuse of his
judicial position 10 the political e1i-
gencies In Albany IL along the line OF
what Tammany considers the higher
walks of politics. Moreover, has he
not practically pardoncd an official
blackmailer and protector of disorder

81 1000 on the notorious Police CAPITA
Diamondt--a stroke Of judicial len
iency toward corruption in New iork

record with genuine relish and noisy
gusto.

takes it's medicine with evident
nausea; the TIMES turns Herrick's
picture to the wall and fixes It's gaze
on Judge Parker, with the reflection
that one honorable nomination IN four
years IL AS far as the New York De
mocracy can be expected to pander to
the somewhat blunted moral sentiment
OF its constituency. The EVENING
POST openly repudiates HerriCk. say
ing that proper regard for Its own
reputation forbids giving him tho neg

From this brief resume IL may be

COMFORT OF VISITORS

thing Necessary Provided For.

Special attention has been paid by
the builders of the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition to the comfort of those who
will attend. 1t is not an ex%aggeratioD
to assert that no previous exposition
has provided SO many public conven'
fences. First Of all, there will be plen.
t. of places where one may sit down
and rest after seeing the sights until
physical fatigue demands relaxation.
And this calls to mind an amusing little
story Of the Columbian exposition at
Chicago.
The little granddaughter Of Professor
]. NJ. Greenwood, superintendent OF
public schools in Kansas City, attended
the exposition with relatives, who
made it their business to show the
child many things that would be cdu'
cative. From time to time the party
found it necessary to sit down and rest

COST OF SEEING
THE WORLDS FAIR.
For the Majority Of Visitors It Will b
Less Than Railroad Transportation
to St. Louis and Return Would
Cost In Any Other Year.

From any point within 300 miles of
St. Louis a person may travel to the
Worlds Fair this year, view the won
ders Of the Exposition for three days
and expend less money than in any
other year he would pay for train fare
alone.
This may seem an astonishing state
ment, butt is a fact.
Railroad men have practically deter.
mined that lone fare for the round
trip" will be the rate during the seven
important months of 1904. Public an!
nouncement of this only waits the pas
q of certain legislation concerning
"scalpers'" tickets and formal indorse-
ment by the various passenger agents
associations.
With this fact in mind a clear dem!
onstration Of the statement in he open
ing paragraph can be made.
The fare from Chicago is $3.50. OF
SIS the round trip. So under the new
schedule $3.50 will be put down as the
railroad fare from that city to st.
Louis and return. If you are economi
ical, your per diem expenses in the
