Rochester Next Thursday.

The republican difficulties about organ
izing the Saratoga convention have at
tracted more general attention, but the
democratic difficulties about organizing
the Rochester convention are not without
interest
While the democratic appeal in New
York this year is to be to the business
world-in behalf of better methods at AL
bany, and more economical administra-
ton of state affairs-pains must be taken
to keep Wall street and the big corpora
tions in the background. Not even at or
near home is Wall street popular.
But this is not an easy thing to do.
Some of the most prominent men in tha
euuation-E. NJ. Shepard, Judge Parker
and Judge Herrick-are corporation law
yers Of the first class. and the part they
play at Rochester will be set down by the
opposition to corporation influences. Mr..
Hearst and his friends may be expected
to dwell on 1t.
Such men are not associable with small
parts in any gathering for public pur-
poses. They represent marked ability and
much experience. and both speak and
write we'll Either would preside well
over a convention, or a committee on
resolutions And 1t so happens that Mr..
Shepard Is suggested for temporary and
Judge Parker for permanent chairman at
Rochester.
The democratic platform will be brought
under a strong glass after adoption. 1t is
certain to be well written, and specious.
They order that sort Of thing well In New

The CANTALOUPE.

thrice deceptive cantaloupe!
How with a villainy thy tint
.ArOuses hope!
Thou TEMPEST with a CLEAN and CLINT
That conjures dreams
OF long aisles in wind-kissed fields
Where corn lifts up its spears and shields.
And singing streams
Go dancing through the sun and shade
Wherein thousand joys are made.
o base, deceitfm cantaloupe!
When for perfumed Olden taste
We vainly grope,
Thou. fair, within our grasp art placed
And we are glad.
Believing we shall find renewed
The 81 SAVIOR . with all spice imbued
When in the days that are no more
We carved thy core.
o melancholy cantaloupe!
On thee. thou whited sepulcher,
We moon and NOPE,
And sudden tears our eyelids blur
AS reflect
Upon mushmelons-Yes. plain mush!-
OF which in boyhood's glorious rush
We could expect
The golden pulp and honeyed Juice
That never gave our hopes abuse.
Hence greenly grievous cantaloupe!
Thou fastest like unto a cake
OF laundry soap!
Thou art striped and speckled fake.
OF tOothsome luxury may hide
Upon thy bleached and wan inside.
Thou masking gourd!
What canst thou say in thy defense?
Unreal mockery, go hence!

Champ Clark is said to be in a receptive
mood respecting his partys nomination
for President. Although he has not yet
reached the speakership. he is so close
to.sthat goal his friends are looking be-
yond.
The Speaker of the House wields great
power. His office, indeed. is second only
to that Of President. He appoints the
committees that draft bills. He is con-
stantly consulted about the progress OF
business. His opinions. even when in
formally expressed. carry a long way.
He would remain most influential fac
tor in legislation IL the full measure of
the changes proposed in House affairs
were carried out.

Coroner's Inquests.

Th. ru,;n, Of the corporation counsel
that the District coroner is by law re-
uuired to hold an inquest IN all cases
where death by suicide is suspected Is
calculated to lead to more satlslac'oiy
practice than that which has optalheo
in the past. In most instances members
of the families of persons VINO Ole sud-
denly under peculiar circumstances are
greatly aggrieved when a ceruncate VI
suicide is written by the coroner. Iney
much prefer that death should be at
tributed TO accident. Many cases have
occurred in this District where the cor
oner's dictum has been challenged by in
terested persons, but without Iecouis sc
or remedy, this being an altogether I'M
desirable condition. 1t is important that
the cause of death in every case where
a physician does not on his own respoh-
sibility issue a certificate OF death ana
name the cause should be ascertalheu
by uuasi-judicial procedure. The cor
ouer's inquest may be decadent lhstl-
tuition, of little value to the community
and of small aid TO the courts In the ue-
lection and punishment of crime, but 1t
remains the established mode for the
entertainment of certain physical facts
in the first hours after discovery, and
until it is supplanted by better mode
il should be invoked in every instance
where death occurs in circumstances to
lead to suspicion that natural causes
have not operated.
OF course, there will be many cases
when the holding of an inquest may
seem absurd, an unnecessary expense to
the District and a hardship of undue
publicity for the family of the deceased.
But until the law is changed this must
be endured. Foo the coroner's jury
should long since have been substituted
a different form of inquest, commanding
the confidence OF the community, and
involving less cumbersome methods. The
court should be represented at all times
! in the field, so to speak, by medica
examiner, who, with the power. to sum
mon associates and consultants to a fixed
number. would report to the police or tc
the court the physical circumstances OF
death, the probable cause and any indi'
cation of the agency afforded Immediate
ly by the facts. By such a system the
Judgment of more than a single indi-
vidual is invoked. and the suspicion need
never arise that injustice has been done
either to individuals or to the commune
ty through the announcement of q
dogmatic opinion by a single official.

friends thought it presaged his nominal

Der. 1895. The nomination would be

kinley were the leading contestants, and
it was reasonably certain that one or the

was not only Speaker, but living at the

reports from all sections. His rival as
Governor of Ohio was far back from the

Watson on Georgia Politics.

Tom watson returned to Atlanta and
completed his interrupted speech. This
time the crowd heard him through, al
though he was in bitter mood toward
Hoke Smith and advising his defeat
notwithstanding the result of the pri-
mary. He held that the voters were
not bound by an action which, as he
charged, had been secured by abhor-
rent influences.
Mr.. Watson specified. He said the
Smith men had used money improperly,
and referred to the large sum the can
didate had confessed to subscribing to
the campaign fund. And whisky also
had played part Voters had been
Influenced by treating. Men had voted
as they had drank. Smith booze had
made inroads on the Brown following
And so on. Such a result was tainted
and should be repudiated.
Neither money nor whisky should
ever be used to influence voters. Both
often are. 1t is a reproach to our cam
paigning methods that SO much money
is collected in political interests. and
treating becomes SO common about
election times. Good candidates and
good doctrines should be above such
support Our system of rule and striv-
ing for rule comprehends only discus
sion of issues, and decision on their
merits.
But we have never been able to
achieve our ideal. The serpent entered
our political garden soon after 1t was
staked off, and has been active there
ever since. We have all been trying to
bruse his head and hang him on the
fence. but have not yet succeeded.
Complaints of the kind Mr.. Watson
makes are often heard. Sometimes
they are we'll founded. sometimes not
Sometimes they proceed from those
we'll assured of their ground. Some
times they represent poor losers grum-
bling at fate. If Mr.. Watson Is able to
show that Mr.. Smiths triumph was

not to the people at public meetings.
