DEMOCRATS IN A MIDDLE.
Are in Such a Confused Condition
They Take No Notice of the
Federal Constitution.

There Is no mystery about the source
of the present weakness of the opposi-
ton to- the election of President Roose-
welt for another term, remarks the New
York Sun. That weakness is due chief
ly to the failure Of the democracy, as
sembled in primary and state conven-
tions, to formulate distinctly the is
sues they wish presented at st. Louis.
The failure to consider and present
the constitutional and economic prin-
ciples on which the democracy desires
the national government to be conduct
ed has given to noisy demagogues their
opportunity. So long as their opinions
were uttered only in yellow newspapers
there was no urgency for refuting them,
but primary and state conventions of
democratic voters are serious and i'm
portant affairs. If in them there are no
committees on resolutions, no discus
sion Of issues, fair inference Is that the
representative democrats there assem-
bled take little or 20 interest in demo-
cratic principles.
1t will not do to plead in extenuation
that the national convention is the place
for issues and that state conventions
are to keep silent. That is not tradition
al democracy, since national con-
ventions began; and, besides, II state
conventions meddle with candidates,
why not with the issues those candidates
are to represent?
The feeling in the several states re-
garding principles cannot be definite or
strong If the local democratic conven-
tions are dumb.
The situation Is very serious when
democrats in the several states do not
manifest an interest in the federal con-
stitution and in such an Interpretation
OF the powers 1t has impaired to con-
gress and the president as the demo-
cratic party has contended for ever since
1t has existed.
The usurpation of power by congress
and the president has never been so out
rageous as since McKinley's death.
What is needed most Of all is to put
the ship of state back again on the
right tack and to compel it to be steered
hereafter as the constitution has pre-
scribed.
Give back to the state governments
and prohibit to the national govern
ment, the regulation of things which
Marshall declared do not come under
national cognizance, and all will be
well. Difficulties over corporations,
trusts, labor. capital, and interstate
commerce, as the yellow newspapers
present them, will then disappear from
congress, and will trouble 1t no more
than marriage and divorce. The three
democratic justices Of the supreme
court have recently, by the vivid pen Of
Justice White. declared the boundary
line between national and state affairs.
Does the democracy intend to vindicate,
or repudiate. that boundary line? What
will the coming democratic state con-
vention of New York proclaim In regard
to that vital issue?

WITNESS A LITTLE MIXED.
Lawyer Meant the Horse, But He
Thought the Lady Was the
Leading Subject.

to the animals habits and disposition
says London Tit-Bits. He asked:
"Have you ever driven herr"

"Was there anyone with you at the
time?"
There was lady with me-" tho
witness answered, blushing little
"Was she good driver?'-the law
yer referring to the animal, but tho
witness understanding that he meant
the lady.
"She was he replied.
"Was she gentle and kind?" asked
the legal limb, and the reply was in tho
Affirmative, though the witness, still
thinking of the lady, looked a little
surprised.
"She didn't kick?" was the next in
terrogation and a decisive
mo-" was the answer.
"She didn't rear up, or kick over the
traces. or put her hind feet through the
dashboard. or try to run away. or act
ugly, Or" 49,

dignation by this time, and interrupts

Cat's-Paw Hearst.

There is but little reason to doubt that
the Hearst movement is conspiracy
against the democratic party devised and
fostered for its overthrow by Bryan,
whose resentment against the most loyal
and patriotic representatives Of the de-
mocracy who refused him their support
in both his presidential campaigns is as
virile and wrathful to-day as 1t was In
the hour of his last ignominious defeat
in 1900. Hearst does not know it, yet all
the same he is as presidential candidate
the mere cats paw OF Bryan, for whom
he is pulling the sweet chestnuts OF re-
venge out OF the fire.-Philadelphia
Ledger.
ryIt is announced on behalf of Judge
Parker that should that gentleman be
noninated by the democrats for presi-
dent and elected David b. Hill will ac-
cept no Office under him. That state
ment seems to point pretty directly to
the Parker hoodoo. Troy Times.
rJThe Hearst candidacy has had at
least one gratifying outcome. BY Its
ieprous quality 1t has created kind OF
sanitary alarm In all parts Of the coun-
try. Even Col. Bryan. who stands in
desperate fear of being endorsed az a
party leader. hesitates at the brink OF a
repulsive yellow alliance In his extren-
ity.--Pbiladelphia Record Tad. Dsm.)
