Eastern and Western Democrats.

The Iowa democrats in state convention
yesterday Endorsed the st. Louis platform.
AS Bryan men they could afford to do that.
The platform Is silent on the money ques-
tion and declares on the tariff question
that protection is robbery. Mr.. Bryans
hand is shown in both of those features.
His followers therefore. in accepting the
St Louis deliverance are simply approving
of his work.
Judge Parker also was Endorsed, but
rothing was said about his telegram. That
message we may be sure, finds no favor
among the democrats of Iowa. A very in
dignant man at St Louis when 1t was
read was James B. Weaver. the former
greenbacker and populist. but now Bry-
anized democrat. He. with others, vas re-
ported as on the eve of bolt for several
hours. and was restrained with difficulty.
He shared in the feeling that the conven-
ton had been tricked. and was inclined to
associate Judge Parker with the maneuyer.
BEHOLD. then, a peculiar situation. Here
are democrats indorsing the party's plat
form who do not indorse the candidate
attitude toward its financial feature. In
the east. and in New York city in particu-
lar, are democrats who indorse only the
candidates attitude in that matter. Had
opposed him In the campaign What Is
the eastern democrats meat is the west
ern democrats poison. And yet these men,
so much opposed to each other on so i'm
portant a question. are working together
for control of the country.
Suppose they accomplish that end Sup
pose they succeed in putting Judge Parker
into the White House. Should we not then
have q repetition of the Cleveland history?
The President would stand between two
fires Silver democrats in the west would
set up claims which gold democrats in the
east would combat. Free-trade democrats
would insist upon policies which protection
democrats. with Mr.. German again at their
head. would combat. The President would
be pulled and hauled both ways. In the
end however, those standing nearest to
him would gain their end We say of
stream that it cannot rise higher than its
source. 1t may be said of a politician
that when he tries to do that he fails alb
solutely, and sometimes ANONYMOUSLY.

The German Crown Prince.

tour of the world ought to agree with
the German Crown Prince. From all ac-
counts he is rather spirited young man,
and strange places and strange faces Will
interest him. 1t may be many years-the
world hopes it will be-befOre he is called to
supreme authority at home. but from the
day of that call he will have little time
for travel. The ruler of Germany has a
task of very large proportions and must
stick close to his base of operations. Now
is the heirs opportunity, therefore, to take
a wide and improving look around. His
father made such a journey in his day of
waiting and preparation, and doubtless
some of his success on the throne may be
attributed to the benefit he derived from it.

Polluting the Potomac.

Inc POTOMAC boatmen and yachtsmen re-
gard oil as a cause and not a preventive
of troubled waters. They dislike its osor
and they hold fast to the belief that II ia
not desirable ingredient for the preserva
lion OF clothes. They have gone to much
expense TO buy boats of all kinds and have
made the Potomac a scene of nautical ac-
tivity greater than for years They have
infused spirit into the water lovers and they
deplore the pollution of the beautiful Po;o-
mac by the manufacturing plants that line
the banks
There is reason and justice in their pc
tition TO the Commissioners and the public
at large is interested in its course regard
less of activities on the river For the
presence of gas tar and other disagreed BILE
substances on the surface of the stream
constitutes nuisance which affects the en-
tire waterfront community directly and
the entire city indirectly. These waste prod
ucts, II has been concluSively shown de-
stroy the fish life. Thus the bad conditions
which emanate from the establishments at
the bend of the Potomac at and below
Georgetown strike at industries upon which
many persons depend.
Some years ago an effort was made by the
fishermen of Maryland and the District to
secure the abatement of a nuisance at and
near Cumberland. caused by the discharge
OF wastes from the pulp mills and dye
works there located. Some progress was
made but for reasons not thoroughly set
forth the court proceedings did not come to
climax and the bad conditions continued
until the fishing in the Potomac In that re-
gion was virtually destroyed. The pollution
of the stream at Cumberland. it was ar
gued by some. could not fail in some de-
gree to affect the health of the users of the

The Suns Chief Ally.

The wise man takes his thermometer

Judge Parker's Admirers.

There Is a subsistence of enthusiasm In
democratic circles over the Parker teie-
gram Particularly is this true as respects
the newspapers that inspired 1t. Having
shaken hands with themselves sufficiently
on the strength of the achievement. they
have turned to other features OF the politi-
cal situation. They are wise In this.
In the first place the country is now thor
oughly advised to all the material cir
cumstances leading up to and attending
Judge Parker's famous deliverance. and 1t
is no longer possible for his admirers to
glorify him in the key Of their first out
burst. His act. upon examination, bears
no aspect of remuneration or heroism. but
the aspect of selfish calculation. 1t was the
act of a shrewd politician. He was re-
spending to the advice of men without
whose support ne could have no hope OF
carving New York He was choosing be-
tween the judgment of delegates in the
thick of the turmoil at st. Louis. and that
of men sitting in the calm of newspaper
offices in New York city. or of brokers
offices in Wall street. He must have New
York to win and he took New York's calm
Judgment about what was necessary to
win.
In the second place. even conceding that
Judge Parker possesses both md and ini-
tiative his admirers might ovfTdo the busi-
ness of worship. The effect of too much
and too constant praise might be to give
him the pose OF a man of iron and nfallible
wisdom 1t is conceded in political circles
that Mr. Cleveland as leader was injured
by that sort of thing. He heard nothing
but the extravaganza of admirers for years.
Not many men gained his confidence. ana
those who did paid heavily for it. They
were never able to stand erect in his pres
ence and those who objected to assuming
any other than an erect attitude never
sought his presence. The result was that
Mr. Cleveland ceased to be a leader and be-
came a boss. He exercised influence over
only a few and left Office detested by the
many.
Judge Parker at his best is but human.
If he is elected, a good many men will nave
business with him, and it would not con-
tribute to their comfort. or to the comfort
of others to elevate him by means of cam
paign puffery into the belief that he Is the
greatest man ever. The moderation of the
transports therefore, is good policy.

Life Saving Appliances on shipboard.

From the New 1ork
The sacrifice of more than thousand
innocent lives in the Slocum disaster con-
firmed the fears of experts and revealed
the brutal inadequacy of the statutes and
PRACTICES controlling the construction, equip
ment and inspection of merchant steamers
The eXtr lordinary imperfections of the reg
ulations and the legaliZed anomalies be-
tween the rules for domestic and ocean
going vessels were demonstrated even by q
non-techrlcal inquest, and as this progress
ed it BECAME apparent that the fault chars-
ed upon the inspectors was attributable not
so much to them to the laws and to the
regulations having the force of law that
hampered and discouraged them in the ex-
ercise of their responsibilities An early
duty of Congress, therefore, will be the
formulation of general policy and the
enactment of a drastic law based upon the
necessities of safeguarding life and prop
erty 1t is the old story of a bad system
perpetuated by political exigencies and
dominated by an outworn and stubborn ira
dition AS the principal defect lies more
in the measures than in the men. 1t is fair
" certain that if Congress shall strengthen
the hands of the Secretary of Commerce
and Of the present supervising inspector
general the recurrence of such a tragedy
will be practically impossible.

Achievements of Old Men.
From the Nashville American.


Allen C. Thurman was SeVenty-five years
old when he was nominated with Cleveland
in 1888. Senator Hoar, one of the most
active members of the Senate. is seventy
eight. Another active senator, Morgan OF
Alabama, is eighty. and Senator Pettus is
eighty-three. Cato learned Greek at eighty,
Smonides bore off the prize of verse after
he had passed his eghtieth year and So
phocles wrote "Oedipus" when his years
numbered more than four score. Where the
physical body has not too far decayed the
mind should be bright and active at eighty.
Ex-senator Davis is vigorous in body and
his mind is clear and active at eighty-one.
He Is able to transact a large amount of
private business and to personally super
wise his vast interests. Some men are old
er at sixty than others at eighty.

The Republican View.
From the Troy Record.

The democratic party has a good candi-
date, but not better than President
Roosevelt It opposes some republican work,
but it's opposition is not shared by the great
body of the people. The voters are pros
porous and generally content Nothing
urges them to order a change. and expert
ence proves that something more than a
within is required to force them into untried
fields. Only excessive party enthusiasm can
convince democrats that success awaits
them. The logic of the political situation Is
with the republicans.
