ers. The traditional process in the Latin
American lands is for the defeated party
to organize a revolution, thus multiplying
all the safeguards which may have been
thrown around the suffrage. Until the
people have been educated to the point Of
realizing the unprogressive folly and ex-
pensive wastefulness of this process there
can be no such thing as advancement and
good government in that part of the
world.
In Panama conditions were ripe for
revolutionary protest against defeat OF
the minority faction at the polls. The ma
jority faction appears to have gone upon
the we'll established doctrine Of Central
and South American politics that every
thing necessary to keep an administration
party in power is thoroughly justified by
the laws Of public morality. Whether
justified or not. however, 1t seems to have
been the intention of one party. allied
with the administration. to manipulate
the registration of voters in such man.

Secretary Tafts work has been we'll

that the elections which are to occur on
the 18th Of July will be pacific and that
the results will be accepted by the people
without armed demur.
The spectacle thus afforded OF the
United States intervening to prevent po-
litical disaster in Panama should be set
plainly before all the people of the South
and Central American region, not to sug-
gest that there Is possibility Of similar
intervention in the affairs of other repub-
lies. but to emphasize the necessity for
adopting an honest system OF conducting

Elections in the Southern Republics.

The details of the arrangements made
by Secretary Taft in Panama to prevent
an insurrection in that republic in conse-
quence of the elections soon to take place
there should be spread broadcast through
out the entire Central and South Ameri-
can regions for the informa ton of all the
peoples of the lands south of the Unit ed
States. 1t is highly desirable that in
some way the principle which lies at the
root of successful self-government should
be established in tie Latin-American re-
gions. There can be no such thing as q
republican form of government if there
Is not good faith in the electoral system
The political evils from which the south
ern American republics have suffered for
years have sprung from the fact that in
the great ma jority of cases elections have
been mere shams, covering the seizure of
governmental power by dominant fac
lion. Changes of administration have been
effectet almost invariably by revolution
ary processes.
1t is vitality important that the Central
and Southern Americans should learn two
facts. first that government by the peo-
pie means government by officials elected
oy the free will of the people. and second
that it Is just as important to accept de-
feat at the polls as II is to seek success.

Taylor.

Senator Taylor's debut yesterday in the
debates of the body in which he took
his seat in December showed him in
happy compromise. He was not too
solemn and not too gay. The politician
was all there, and just enough of the
entertainer to Tighten and brighten the
discourse. His stories were pat" and
his argument followed conventional lines
We get an idea of what is in store for
democrats whom he will address from
the stump after the presidential cam
paign opens. Mr.. Taylor. it may be men,
toned, can be musical without his fiddle
His style as an orator is smooth and
flowing, and his words tickle the ear
He is a pleasant addition to the list of
senatorial speakers. and should have
full house as often as the next man.

Cinnamon and Politeness.

Mr. WI Ting-fang. minister from China
to the United States. has been preaching
politeness 10 his countrymen in America
in the course of series Of talks In
Chinatown in New York He has ad-
monishei them to do as they should, In
their public appearances. and not as the
Americans do For instance he strongly
urges that they rise in street cars to give
women their places. even though they
may mark themselves out for singularity
of conduct by 50 doing.
Considering the low ebb of public
politeness in New York. this is admirable
advice. Indeed there Is hardly a city
in the United States where the standard
Of politeness might not be materially
raised. There is altogether too much
crowding and pushing and place seeking
by all sorts and conditions of men. The
average of street car politeness is pretty
low even here, where 1t is said the men
behave much more CALAMITY as rule
than elsewhere. 1t is TO be hoped that
the Cinnamon of Washington will hear
Of and heed this advice Of their minister
and thereby help to set the standard of

Speeches and Stampedes.

Some of the gossip about the temporary
Craftsmanship of the Chicago convention
is purposely exaggerated for political eff
feet. The honor of the place is high. and
any man might feel proud of it. But 1t
carries neither the power of naming the
candidate nor of committing the party
for or against any policy.
The man chosen to preside on such an
occasion should be a speaker of force. and
a parliamentarian of resources. If he is
also well known TO the country so much
the better. He should of course. represent
his party's general purposes, and in his
speech to the convention should voice
them in good. sound, ringing terms
An interesting topic as respects Chicago
relates to the suggestion of d stampede 10
Mr.. Roosevelt. There are certain poll
ticians who not only think such thing
likely. hut are primed to help bring 1t
about Others. while opposed to the third
term proposition, are yet apprehensive on
the subject.
Now between the temporary chairman's
speech and the call for nominations sew
eral days are certain to intervene. The
committee on credentials must report and
that report be deb ated. This work will
be important Then will come the plat
form. and that will be important. Then,
when all other business has been disposed
of. and the party pledged to policies
not by anybody's speech. but by the de-
hverance of the convention-candidates
will be presented.
Clearly. therefore. the speech of the
temporary chairman. even if so designed
could neither bring about nor prevent a
stampede to Mr.. Roosevelt That it will
contain reference of warm praise of Mr.
Roosevelt is inevitable. and that the men
ton OF the Presidents name will be re-
ceived by the convention with every mani
festation of pleasure and enthusiasm is
certain. But the shouting and the tu-
multi will die. and long afterward the
question of the nomination will come up.
The convention will indorse the admin
1stration in terms neither vague nor mig
gardiy Its record is the party's record.
Any shuff1ing about the matter would
simply De suicide. The convention will
likewise testify TO the liveliest appreeia-
ton of Mr.. Roosevelt both as man and
as party leader. Some of the eulogies of
him may set the pegs for praise But
between that and a nomination made in
defiance of the Presidents words and
wishes Is difference as wide as church
door. and II should serve

Housedies.
From the Newark News.

From the Newark News
If a man should come tramping into
your parlor. besmearing the rugs car
pets with the mud. slime and filth that
had adhered to his boots as he worked
in the sewers or walked in the wet gut
tiers, there would be an exceedingly lively
protest and a very thorough cleaning
after he had been ordered out or kicked
out. A resort to violent measures to
get rid of such an affront and menace
would be upheld by the courts and by
public sentiment. And yet just such a
nuisance. only more impudent and dan
gerous, is tolerated in every house. with
but little effort to expel him or with but
indifferent protests as to his presence.
The common housefy is an unmitigated
thies and scoundrel. a filth bearing, dis
ease-carrying rascal who does not stop
at defiling rugs and carpets and furni-
ture. but who deliberately and with in
tent sets his dirty feet anywhere, even
upon the victuals you eat.

Hills Trip to Europe.

David B. Hill is still a democrat. and
evidently intends this year again to be
very still. He is to sail for Europe early
next month The length of his visit II not
given. but as it will be his first we may
expect him to be gone some months. He
is not in search of health. as Senator TILL
man is. and having both the time and the
strength. will probably inspect that inter-
esting field leisurely and thoroughly.
The New York democrats may now be
divided into three classes. There Is a
class composed OF men who sincerely de-
sire Mr. Bryan's nomination at Denver.
and think New York should assist in the
work. They admire the man. and believe
he can be elected. These men are not nu-
merous. nor particularly influential. Some
of them have not helped their favorite's
case.
Another class is composed OF men who
oppose Mr.. Bryan to the extent of being
ready to repudiate the work at Denver if
it turns out to be in his favor. They may
be described as democrats. limited. They
claim the right to use the party's tag for
anti-Bryan purposes. and then, if those
purposes fail. to take their own course.
Some will sulk. and some support directly
the Chicago nominee. They are likely TO
repeat this year their performance of
twelve years ago. In the main they are
rich men. and exert a powerful influence
on Tammany Hall
The third class is composed OF men not
in agreement with Mr.. Bryan. but above
being used as corporation tools to his det-
riment. His views are not their views.
and they would welcome candidate ard
platform reviving what they consider
democracy in its best estate. Their hopes
of this, however. are not high. and they
are philosophically awaiting develop
ments
Some of these men will take to the
woods; others to Europe. Mr.. Hill Is
going to Europe and will inspect and
study ruins over there. He has done
his share toward trying to save" his
party and has earned a vacation Had
his advice been taken. the silver ditch
of 1896 would not have been digged
Four years later he tried to show the
way to escape from the ditch, but his
counsels were rejected Four years ago
