con.ervatire Tendencies.

 While the national platform of the Democracy adopted ct Denver is most radical in the blanks applied to rail. road regulation, 1t is noteworthy fact that in the politics of the Southern Ise'eS the extremes las " of that form of isgisla- tion. The defeat of Hoke Smith for q renemination by his party In Georgla had this significance beyond question, in the Tennessee primary was, in part at least, influenced by this tendency It is so claimed by some Of Governor Pattersons supporters and is indicated by the platform adopted by the con expresses in it's initial clauses approval of the Denver pronouncement as whole, but 1t makes no specific refer- ence to railroad regulation; ~a~,,.+,on did not enter materially into the cam paign. Senator Carmack gave no evil dence of drastic tendencies in that direction. and the absence or such ais. the reaction against the policies or Conner in Alabama, Smith in Georgia and Glenn in North Carolina, so much agitated only a. year ago. and which At that time it would have been impos- sibIe to have framed Democratic plat form in Tennessee without some pro- nouncement on the question of State rallfOad leBISldLlOu. .
 The national platform also favors the guarantee of bank deposits. dis tinctlve Bryan doctrine, which Senator Carmack made part Of his statement of policies upon entering the cam paign. There was no apparent re- sponse to this proposition in the can- vass, and the fact that if 9as ignored in the platform adopted yesterday seems to show that it is ,iot sanction. ed by the dominant sentiment of tho party in the state.
 The personnel of the convention yes terday, in addition to the lack of any radical expression and emphasis in the platform, gave measurable indication of a recognition of the Cleveland Demo- cracy in Tennessee. This is some thing of an anomaly at slime when Mir. Bryan has so signallv triumphed in controlling the national party and when there has just been evidenced in the Democracy of the natscb marked reaction agai1Et the conserva Aye movement that made Judge Parker the presidential nominee four years ego.

danners And Clothes.

New York Worlo-
 The hot wave brings up anew the question of midsummer negligee. TO what extent may conventionality In The refusal of the management of fashionable hotel to serve guest in his shirt sleeves was an incident Of yesterdays news. At the congress of whist players a southerner of the old school remained true to tradition Of respect for the presence of ladies, and sweItered ip broadcloth while the other players sat coatless.
 Where is the deadline of decorum to be drawn? A generation has wit messed extraordinary concessions to comfort in summer clothes. Suits of linen and duck and seer-sucker date from before the war, but 1t is only since the eighties that unstarched shirts and low cut shoes of tan or patent leather have come into general use. It is during that period that out ing clothes and the two piece suits ot thin fabrics and washable materials have gained their great hold and the belt universally replaced the suspend CT Athletic underwear, so-called, is of very recent adoption.
 The inroad of negligee on manners is a serious phase of the question. The shirt waist man is endurable in his place. but that place Is clearly not at a public dinner table or formal pub lie gathering, nor yet in an automobile. The question of shirt sleeves on the streets is a moot one. But does the slight gain in personal comfort com pensate for the necessary loss of self respect? The line of propriety in sum- n4er clothes is now so lax that 1t should not needlessly be overstepped

The Hartford Times properly calls down a writer in The New York Globe who tells that paper that the inventor of cement is still living in England at the age of 9s years. To say nothing of the fact that cement was made and used in England before this alleged in- ventor was born. there remains the other fact that cement was used by the ancient builders in Rome and Greece. and perhaps also in Egypt many cen turies ago. It may not have been precisely of the same composition as that now in such general use. but the word cement" has A wide application and can be used to designate various materials or combinations.

have everything to gain and nothing to lose by supporting the Republican ticket. Everything they have ever gained in all their history has been gained from Republicans. ana every. thing they have ever lost has been taken from them by Democrats.
 That is almost as good as Foraker himself could say 1t. but we are not at all surprised to see it. Republican speakers and newspapers always have a lot of that kind of stun to hand out to the colored brethren just before q national election. It means votes, and votes in some of the States are mighty handy things for the Republicans to have about the first of November in presidential years. Thus 1t is that all those who have anything to do with the Republican campaign put their arms around African necks and mur- mur: "come to papa. good little boy, he'll watch over you" After the vot. ing Is over the negro may go hang for all they care.
 There's big assortment of tommy. rot in such remarks as we have quoted. It was made for effect. of course, and we need not feel surprised if we see a great deal more of it in the Republi- . can newspapers. and hear much of 1t from Republican speakers. when 1t comes down to actual facts such as- sertions cannot be sustained. but they are good enough for campaign pur- poses. If the Republicans had kept entirely aIoof from all matters or dues- tions relating to the negroes from the day of their emancipation the latter would have been much better of to. day. If they are not receiving all the benefits that rightly belong to them they have only Northern. radicaiism and meddling to blame for it. It is unfortunate for the colorsd masses that they are not able to see and un- derstand the faiiacy and hypocrisy of such claims as The Journal makes. but they cannot do so and Republican ms take advantage of their lack of un- derstanding.

No language of Mir. Roosevelt has exhibited the true inwardness of the man more paipably than the words he used in a recent letter to Mir. sewell. of Maine. T believe" said he, "in be- ing strong President and making the most of the ofiice and using it without regard to the little. feeble. snarling men who yell about usurpation." We thought some of commenting on his words but win let The Hartford Times have the job. It says:
 These little feeble. snarling men" Fuller and Justice Brewer Of the su- preme court be among the number? Already there are catalogues Of the membership of the .Arnalsamated so- ciety of American Ananiases, the Na- tionaI Assoeiation of Mollycoddles. the Unworthy Order of Reactionaries, etc Shall we now have a list of the little snarlers who have ventured to snarl (and also to yeti) at the President7
 Whether 1t be to snarl or yell. we shall venture to say that the Presi- dents expression, making the most of the oflce." is the happiest possible de- scription of what ne has been doing past seven years. Representative Me- Call expressed the same thought when he spoke of the gluttony of the lime light. but of course he did not men, ton any names. ta

A FOOLISH REmARK.

Stuyvesant Fish declares that 1t is great deal easier for man who has been living on sib a week to get along on sl0 than it is or a man who has had s29e0oo a year to get down and live on s6o,oo0 a year. That, in our judgment. is one of those loose assertions which can neither be estab- lished by evidence nor comprehended by the class of men who are trying to get along on ten or fifteen dollars a week. What is more, a man of the latter class cannot understand how e man can possibly spend fifty thousand dollars a year. to say nothing of two hundred thousand.
 It is not uncommon to read of re- marks like the one attributed to Fish. but not much attention is paid to it. Some very rich New Yorker. possibly it was Pierre Lorillard, once said that no gentleman could pretend to live in New York on less than one thousand dollars a day. If it was not Lorillard it was some man of his set; the person is not so important as is the absurdity of the remark. Of course a man can spend. give away or throw away, one thousand dollars day if he has 1t to dispose of and wants to get rid of 1t. It Is also not at all incredible to think that a man in New York's fashionable set, and with q family willing to help him scatter the money, can get rid of the fifty thousand. but 1t is difficult to understand how one family or one man can rationally spend two hundred thousand. which is more than sixteen thousand a month. and by this we mean spending 1t all sensibly. If he indulges in speculation, gambling and other excssses he can get rid of any sum with little trouble.
 But such an assertion as that at- tributed to Fish Is one that hardly any one can either prove or disprove. There are precious few. we apprehend. who have at any time belonged to the two classes. or who are in condition to know how a man in one of the two classes would feel if he were suddenly put into the other class. A man who has been in the habit of spending two hundred thousand a year and is cut down to fifty thousand may think 1t a great hardship. but he cannot possibly appreciate the condition of the man whose weekly pay has been reduced from fifteen to ten dollars. In the former case we know that while the man may have to abstain from many of the excesses and useless extravagances he has indulged in. he can live com fortably. honestly. respectfully and wear elegantly on the fifty thousand, so that there Ls no suffering or want
 The other case is quite different. A man with even a small family must find 1t very difficult in these days, unless he has some outside means. to get along on SIS a week without en- during some privations, but when one third of that sum is taken from him suffering is bound to follow, and of this such men as Fish have no con- ception and cannot possibly appreciate 1t. The poor man in the case mem tioned would have to deny himself and family many of the real necessities of life In short. we think Mir. Fish comes very near to writing himself an ass.

Salt Lake Tribune 1t is commonly understood
that at the general conference which opens in this
city Saturday next there will be another declar-
atlon address, pronunciamento, manifesto, or what
ever it may be called designed to meet the present
crisis impending in Utah and Idaho, especially on
political affairs, and generally for the purpose of
bolstering up the claimed good faith of the church in
the eyes of the community and of the public at large
The guiding light of the conference made haste to
confirm the correct prophecy of the Salt Lake
paper. At the opening session. President Smith TN
folded his scheme for campaign in the interest of
local option, understanding that in the present temper
of the public his attitude hypocritical otherwise
a great moral question would cover multitude
of sins.
The head of the church is good politician 1t
bothers him all that profession and practice
pursue different paths. Up-to-date Mormonism and
the intoxicating cup have not avoided each other.
But it looks though there is to be temporary
falling out in the interest of the political power that
deception may strengthen
President Smith does not delve in the mysteries
of revelation and his conversion to the of 10
cal option is his own idea.
