display was motion by Il. Gerry Brown
of Brockton Mass, that the convention
practically resolve itself into commit
tee OF tho whole to discuss such subjects
as might properly be introduced. IL was
evident that several delegates planned 10

activity of the Federation.

clared that the original purpose OF the
Federation. the advancement of trades

mics and defeating its friends lie de-
clared that this defeat was due TO failure
TO properly organize and that President

Mr. Brown has a resolution before the

Restriction of Output

A vital economic subject that has not

or discussion Is "the restriction of out

since been Attempting 10 limit tho output
or certain commodities. but IL Is only re-

North American Review. that this kind
OF limitation has really become an impor-

limit the aggregate output The effect OF
the workingman's effort Is TO limit or
regulate the output per man In a given

Wright adds
"a restriction OF speed may make pos

the day. or may enable the workman 20

Of the ward committee. There was no evil
dence Of any fraud at the caucus pro-
duced before the board aud the caucus
was declared illegal simply because
check list was missing
The wardens and clerks signed a certih-
cate on the envelope enclosing the ballots,
stating that enclosed were all the ballots
cast at said caucuses. count OF the
ballots showed that there were 260 votes
cast for Mr.. Dwyer and his associates to

Cheer Up, Ye Radicals

Intelligent Radicals ought not to be
discouraged by the defeat of Mr.
Hearst Had the contest I'm New York
been between an old-linc conservative
and an honest and able liberal, the pro-
gressive candidate would have won by
an incalculable majority. Had Cover
nor Higgins, for example, run against
Judge Gaynor. or Mayor Adam. nothing
could have saved the Republicans
Honest progress may be rendered
more difficult by the vast noise OF in
dividuals in search OF office. hut IL will
not be made impossible The election
of Mr.. Hughes means that in New
York reform, of the kind eXcmpllfied
investigation and legislation will be
carried on under Republican label
while the dear old Democracy. having
allowed Mr. Hearst 10 vociferate him
self into leadership will add an inch or

whose deeds were a cheerful symptom
OF advancing justice. they sat back, I'm
grim stupidity, while he fought alone
and the voters OF New York decided
merely like American citizens, for

against trickery, struggle for personal
power. and trust In noise. The Demo

GOODWIN SMITH DISCUSSES
THE RISE OF PARTY RULE

Were the trainers OF the American con-
stitution untrue TO the Democratic ideal?
Goldwin Smith. replying to pamphlet
by the Hon. Walter Clark. chief justice
OF the supreme court of North Carolina,
gives some views on this question In the
North American Review. Mr. Justice
Clark. according to Prof Smith believes
that the defects Of the constitution are
derogations from the full Democratic
ideal 10 which no supposes the trainers
of the constitution 10 have been untrue"
In a large measure such defects as there
are Prof Smith believes TO be 1.-The marks
OF its origin as a compact among states
each OF which having thrown off the
sovereignty Of Great Britain, regarded
itself as sovereign and was jealously tena-
cious of that character" The resulting
tendencies of some OF these defects. such
as the drift toward Capitalization Of SOW
ereign power in the hands of the pres-
dent and the set OF powers awaw from
the house OF Representatives TO the SEN
ate. are analyzed with Prof. Goldwin
Smiths usual force and clearness. On
the rise of party rule the writer says:
1.-The most serious defect of ALL how
ever. Is one which can hardly be charged
to the account OF the constitution or OF
its trainers. except In so far as the franz
ers may be deemed TO have shown want
OF practical forecast In regulating the
election of the president. Washington re-
garded party as a transitory evil, OF
which he could get rid by bringing Ham
flton and Jefferson together into his gov
ernment. An election to the presidency
were IL practically held as the consttu-
tion prescribes, would be the calm and
impartial choice, by select boards, OF emf
nent and respected citizens.
Ut Is by the complete perversion of tho
constitutional method that the contest
for the presidency and is patronage has
divided the nation into two organized
parties. carrying on perpetual conflict
with the familiar weapons OF faction. and
with not little OF the rancor and anti
NATIONAL passion of civil war: treating
state policy as a repertory of planks for
party platforms to be shifted as election
eering tactics may require, while each
party keeps on foot a sinister army of
bosses and workers whose morality is
the party game. Such is the party system
everywhere. But i'm the United States IL
Is specially dominant and has actually
received legal recognition as an nstitu-
ton"

now said to be the total number OF
deaths as result OF the collision on
the Southern railroad yesterday.

tor on the Spencer car.
AN UNKNOWN PERSON, whose
head and limbs were burned OFF. be
lleved 10 be third porter on the priv
ate car. who Is missing.
Asleep When Death Came.
President Spencer and his entire
party as far as is known, were s,eep-
ing when the collision occurred. and
the probabilities are all excepting
Dispatcher Davis we're killed in
stantly. 1t is certain life was extinct
before the flames touched them.
Spencers body was burned almost be-
yond recognition as was that OF
Fisher.
Schuyler's body was taken from
under the train before II was much
burned, having been singed only
slightly. spencer's car was attached
TO the rear of the jacksonville train
which was standing still when It was
struck.
Spencer's body was lying directly
under the locomotive of the rear
train.
So great was the force of the i'm
pact that the forward train was sent
at least $50 feet ahead, the locomo-
tive going over and upon the body of
Spencer. Until after the debris had
burned itself out and the engine
cooled OF. the bodies could not be re-
moved.
Passengers Escape Miraculous.
The impact drove the combination
car forward and the express car lifted
up together with its trucks and
crushed the car forty feet away. leav-
ing the remainder of the car strewn
with tons of baggage and colored
passengers who we're pushed back
like rats as the express car crushed
through the combination car. How
the negro passengers in this COM
partment escaped, none of them be-
ing killed. Is beyond explanation.
The wreck occurred on the crest
of a steep grade when the Atlanta
train could not have been running at
more than 80 miles an hour. Had 1t
been mile or so further south. the
number OF dead might have been
frlghtful, as the condition in the
grade there would have meant a
sped of more than go miles an hour
Operator Blamed.
Who is to blame for the accident
has not yet been determined. The
Jacksonville express had the right of
way in the block and the engine
broke away From its train and pro-
ceeded two miles. one of which was
beyond Lawyers. before the engineer
noticed that he was without his train.
II may be that when he passed Law
yers theoperator gave Rangoon a
clear block without noticing whether
the rear end markers were to be seen
before he did so.
