HEARST'S ADVICE TO PARKER

deciding against the constitutionality
of this tax, limited the power Of Con-
gress in a way which must prove
troublesome should we ever be engaged
in a long and costly war that would
strain the National resources. The war
between the States did that, and we
then were permitted to resort to an in.
come tax. The demand for a Oonstitu-
tional Amendment that shall give the
Government power ito tax the incomes
of the rich as freely as it does the neces-
sites of the poor is both righteous and
prudent.
Judge Parker missed q noble oppor-
tunity to do his party and himself great
service when he did not join q declara-
ton for this Democratic tax to his
declaration for the gold standard. Let
us hope that in his letter of acceptance
he will no ignore it. He will be at per-
feet liberty to deal with it, for the Con-
vention, by its response to his gold tele-
gram virtually conceded to him the
privilege of rewriting its platform.
1.-THE Examiner is as anxious for the
success of the Democratic party as
Judge Parker himself can possibly be.
Therefore it is solicitous that he should
avoid further mistakes. The Examiner
has told him. and now tells him again
with added emphasis, that he cannot
afford to continue the Belmont associa-
ton, nor a the party afford to have
him do SO. Mr.. August Belmont aud
his kind are not Democrats. They rep
resent interests and influences that are
Republican. They stand in the public
mind for tn, worst side Of Wall street,
for the Trusts and other forms of pred
atory wealth against which the plain
people are aroused and against which
they are eager to vote. AS the candi-
date Of the Democratic party. no mat.
ter whether he is a gold man or not,
Judge Parker should do all in his power
to convince the plain people that in vot-
ing for him they will be vot.
ing against a law-scorning and despoil-
ing plutocracy. How can Judge Parker
hope to convince the people if he shall
allow a man of August Bslmont's
antecedents and associations to pose as
his sponsor and near friend and adviser?
1.-THE effect of the eleventh-hour tele-
gram to the National Convention eau
be repaired. but not if the Democratic
party Presidential candidate shall re-
tain Trust agents like August Belmont
among his closest counselors."

Knocked Through Showcase.

Saturday. aand while seeing the sights
fell in with three strangers, one of
whom was James Sabin. They strolled
into the Barrel House Saloon. early
Sunday morning. where Sabin tainted
MoKane about being a sport and asked
him to gamble with him, and, it is said,
McKane in a j~ocular name called
Sabin a squirt At this Sabin rushed
at McKane, knocking him to the floor.
In falling McKane's right arm went
through a class case, and he sustained
injuries that may cripple him for life.
His left hand was almost severed, and
one finger was so badly lacerated that
it may have to be amputated.

DEFEATED, AND YET A VICTOR

Sacramento Bee: Although defeated
William J. Bryan came out of the DEM
ocratic National Convention with higher
honors than any other member. His
stalwart sincerity, his manly courage,
the undoubted honesty of his convic-
tons, the unchallenged integrity Of his
purpose, the admitted patriotism and
devotion to principle prompting his
every act-these are qualities that draw
him closer and closer to the great heart
of the American people.
As in that Convention he was the
idol of the hour-not of the delegates
there to do the bidding of others. but
of the free and untrammeled Ameri-
cans present as spectators-so with the
masses all through the Union to-day
his is still q name to conjure with, his
a power over the people who love him.
No man who knew William J. Bryan
intimately and knows him to this hour,
has lost faith in him or can lose faith
in him.
Wide political seas may.separate from
him many who battled unfiinchingly
and conscientiously for eight years by
his side, but nothing can divorce him
from their respect, their esteem. their
admiration, their affection.
Many may think he has chosen the
wrong path, but one can tr~uthfully
say Of William Jennings Bryan that he
does not believe in his heart of hearts
that the light of righteousness shines
upon that path to direct him, as it
shone to guide the erring footsteps of
Saul of Tarsus.

CLARK is PLEASED.
Montana Senator Talks of the Result
at st. Louis.

E . IA ~ AL EL gL
Kansas City, = July 11.-William A.
Clark, United States Senator from Mon
tana, who was in Kansas City to-day on
his way home from the Est, said re-
garding the ticket named by the Demo
cratic National Convention:
sit is a good ticket, and the platform
is all right. The silver question as a
political issue is dead. I am just as
much a bimetalist as ever, but the un-
usual increase in the production of gold
has temporarily shelved the free silver
issue.
"The platform is not one that particu-
larly appeals to the West, but we will
not fight it. As far as the monetary
question is concerned, it is a stand-off
between the platforms of the Republi-
can and Democratic conventions.
'sBut Parker is a safe, conservative
man, aud the nominee for Vice Presi-
dent is entirely satisfactory. They will
be elected. We will carry New York by
100, 900, aud West Virginia will go from
the Republican to the Democratic col
umn."

The San Francisco Examiner of July
IL contains the following article con-
corning the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency:
"The Examiner, Immediately upon
Judge Parker's nomination, gave him
its promise of loyal support, and. in do
ing so, urged him on his W and the
party's behalf, I get rid of Mr.. August
Belmont and to separate his candidacy
from all that Belmont and his sort imply
in u politics.
1.-THE first fruit Of the Belmont in
fiuence was gathered on the last night
of the Conventions sitting, when the
Sheehan telegram was received and
read. Judge Parker is being praised
for the courage he displayed in holding
up the Convention after it had made
him its nominee. 1t is to be wished
that prior to the nomination he had had
the courage to express his opinion on
the financial or any other question. 1t
is to be wished, for the party's sake,
that the influences typifed by Mr.. Au-
gust Belmont had not been the moving
of the candidates belated frank
ness. The, Convention was properly
punished for taking any man wholly on
trust when it was its duty to inform
itself of his views. =
"The Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent, unhappily, will be accused of hav-
ing acted in pursuance Of a bargain
made with Wall street by August Bel
mont. 1t will be said that Belmont en-
gagged to secure the insertion of a gold
plank in the platform, and that when
he and his co-workers failed in this,
Judge Parker was besought to do the
next best thing and personally pledge
himself. The silence of the platform
on the monetary standard WAS NOT
THE ONLY OMISSION of moment.
The income-tax plank proposed in Com
mittee was likewise rejected. Judge
Parker could have met in advance the
insinuations hat he is too friendly to
the money powers had he accompanied
his gold telegram with a plea for the
income tax. Had such a plank been
presented to the Convention, who a
doubt that it would have been adopted
with enthusiasm?
There is no tax more just, since it
falls upon those best able to bear the
burden of supporting the Government
they who receive from the Govern
ment the most protection. The Su-
