Ravner on aTrue penoeraer. >


A sane, sound, and real Democratic
speech was delivered in New York satur-
day night by Senator Isador Rayner. OF
Maryland. at JEFFERSON dinner. Ills text
was: What is true Democracy" Ad-
dressing himself 20 this subject, the Mary
lander spurned the suggestion that there
has been a coalition OF the parties in prin-
cipIes or purposes. The Democracy for
which he stands is the old Democracy
the Democracy that knew how to fight
and to win battles; the Democracy whose
principles were stable and deep rooted in
the Constitution: the Democracy that was
mot iured from the path of safety by op-
portunism.
IN telling what the next platform OF his
party should be, Senator Rayner said: Il
would eliminate the customary and mo-
notonous indictments against the opposi-
ton for crimes that they have never conf
mitted. and I would omit all reference to
the virtues that we propose 90 practice In
the event Of our success He would give
the country something little new in the
way Of a Democratic decalogue by ineor-
poratfng a plank for d low tariff and com
meTcial reciprocity with the trading ma
tions of the world. He would add plank
declaring that there is no such thing as
an unwritten constitution; that if it re-
quires change, it must be amended, not by
| the executive branch of the government,
but by the suffrages Of the people. In ODE
dience TO the Constitution, he would m-
equivocalIy declare for the supremacy Of
the states and not yield the smallest por-
ton Of their sovereign rights over mat
ters OF local and domestic concern that lie
clearly within their province and jurisdic-
ton
We commend Senator Rayner's speech
10 the consideration of every Democrat in
the land.

FRIEND OF CLEVELAND.

James II. EckeIs. who died suddenly
in Chicago Sunday, was one Of the very
few men regarded as prOteges OF Presi-
dent Cleveland. There was no tennis
Cabinet or other official auxiliary 10 the
Cleveland regime. Nearly all Of Presi-
dent Cleveland's foremost official asso-
eiates were prominent before Mr.. Cleye-
land called them to the public service
In this respect. his administration was
unlike either that OF Mckinley or Roose-
velt. both Of which elevated many NTH
erto obscure men to the top round OF
official prominence. But Mr.. Eclels was
taken up through the personal favor Of
President Cleveland in a way that as
tonished the Presidents friends.
Mr. Eckcls came TO Washington IN the
early spring of 1898. and was a familiar
boyish figure around the Arlington Hotel
lobby. He was pale, thoughtful, ana
studious. and practiced regular hours and
habits He met Mr.. Cleveland when the
latter was governor of New York and
Mr.. Eckels was a student at the Albany
Law School lie knew Daniel Lamont,
Daniel Manning. and Charles w. Tracey
re Ad1 a 4EltE1lG u AAAt AfNa-4~~. N-+- -~
tional Convention OF 1882. and worked
under the Instructions Of William G
Whitney TO bring about President CleVe-
lands nomination.
Mr.. Eckels came 10 washington seek
ing appointment as United States attor-
uey for the Northern district OF Illinois.
But Senator Palmer WAS pledged 10 the
candidacy OF a member OF the Illinois leg
E.r r~no Haud rr.f cd him HTaai-
dent Cleveland was disposed 70 follow
Senator Palmer's recommendation. lie
sent a message to Mr.. Eckeis that If he
would withdraw from the race he would
be taken care Of later. Eckels yielded,
magnanimously indorsing his opponent
This pleased Mr. Cleveland Everybody
was set TO work 70 fnd a suitable Office
for Mr.. Eckes.
Secretary Lamont proposed 10 Mr..
Cleveland that they make Eekels Director
Of the Mint.
II viii not bury that young man in a
I bureau place" said the President. Il am
going 10 give him place that viii lead
10 something" Eckels had waited about
Washington several weeks.
II was a newspaper man who conveyed
I TO Mr. Eckels the news that he had been
named for Comptroller Of the Currency.
That's strange. 20 suggested Mr.. Eckels.
/ Il am a lawyer, not banker. Why, ]
never read the national banking act. ]
! never had bank account"
/ But the nomination Of Mr. Eckels was
/ confirmed. lie read the national banking
act and started to work. He found him
self in the center Of trying scenes. With
( in "a few weeks after he took Office ma
( tioual banks began 10 fail Within a
single month there were nearly as many
failures as had occurred during the his
I tory Of the office. He met the situation
/ and measured up 20 II. President Cleve-
lands admiration for his pTotege grew.
/ When Mr.. Eckels retired from Office. . Mr..
/ Cleveland sent him an autograph letter
saying that no appointment he had made
/ in either administration had given him
Z such satisfaction.
Lyman J. Gage, Secretary OF the Treas
ury. once said Of Mr.. EekeIs: He is not
! large physically. but he's all brain.

senator CuIbersou on the Issues

By invitation of the Texas legislature
Senator Culberson addressed the mem
bers of that body recently on the political
issues of the day His remarks are of
interest as representing the views of a
Democrat who occupies a position some
where between that of the old-line Cleve-
land Democracy and the radical Bryan
Democracy. one OF the distinctions be-
tween these types OF Democracy lies IN the
relative stress laid by each upon the
tariff question. With Democrats Of the
Cleveland type the tariff question is all
important, the newer Democracy plants
itself on railroad and trust regulation and
the public ownership, immediate or ulti-
mate. Of monopOlistic utilities and COM
mon carriers.
Mr. CuIberson. however, occupies q
middle ground between these extreme
types. In his Texas address ne is en-
tirely silent on the tariff question. but
he accepts the railroad regulation and
antitrust policy OF President Roosevelt
as an appropriation of Democratic initia-
tive on those subjects. while he is ar
IDENTIFY opposed to government ownership
and operation of railroads. as well as TO
such extensions of Federal power as
would be involved in Federal regulation
of child labor, Mr.. Culberson considers
it opportune TO discuss the government
ownership question, for IL Is before the
country and the Democratic party. To
make a distinction between present and
ultimate ownership. he says, is merely
temporiZing with the question. The
Texas Senator's mind has long been made
up on this issue. Ten years ago he can
vassed his State in opposition to gov
ernment ownership. and his opinion re-
specting it has undergone no change since
then. Government ownership of any sort
of monopolies he regards as the essence
of socialism itself" II is Incompatible
with Democracy: it would make every
question of railway construction and ex-
tension a partisan and political matter:
it would be a most dangerous agency 10

of post-offices in the United States and
Canada. and said that should he at any
time be inclined TO embark on a reform
movement, il would be in the direction
of a revision of such names
There can be no doubt that the British
Ambassador charge is we'll founded.
While he was in Canada, for instance, he
wrote d number Of dispatches TO his gov
ernment and addressed them to London.
They were promptly sent to London, on
tario. Similarly. practically every one Of
the United States contains town called
Washington, and many of them have
counties Of that name. The names OF
Presidents have been used commonly.
