Wilson and Underwood.

For years the south was regarded as
the seat OF radicalism in our politics.
First the greenback and then the free
silver craze found strong backing there.

but in the end gained ALL He advanced

Navigating Western Rivers.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.
There are 1900 miles of navigable
rivers in the Mississippi valley, counting
only the parts Of those streams that have
at some time been used by steam craft.
When, therefore, it Is stated that rivers
are going out sof fashion because some
particular enterprise on them has been
discontinued the point of view is extreme
Nv narrow. Commerce on the lakes has
reached an immense total because chan
nels have been deepened to more than
twenty feet. Originally the depth was
scarcely six feet. AS deeper channels
have been provided. lake vessels have
been enlarged until they are almost in
the class of ocean liners. At the same
time wharves have been bettered corre-
spondingly. and machinery for loading
and unloading so vastly improved that 1T
enables ten men to do the work that
formerly called for hundred. This sys-
tenn may be described as mechanical
wonder, saving time in as great a ratio
as 1t saves labor. Results on the rivers
will be similar when like facilities are
obtained.

terests of the south-now as valuable to
her as her planting interests-have been
reared practically against her political
protests.
All this time the seat of conservatism
and particularly in the democratic
party-was north of Mason and Dixon s
line. A sound currency and protection
found their advocates in that quarter.
and triumphed through that support. The
democratic leaders of New York-very
powerful men-fought all forms Of infia-
ton, and in 1894 helped direct the tariff
battle in the Senate against the free trade
idea. They were the inspirers of Mr..
German, Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Smith of New
Jersey and Mr.. Brice. who. so inspired,
tackled even Mr.. Cleveland himself.
Have things changed? A prominent
issue of today is the initiative. referen-
dunn and recall. and, next to Mr.. Bryan,
its most aggressive champion is Gov. Will
son of New Jersey. accepted as a north
ern aspirant for the presidency. When
accused of radicalism. he replies: IF
that Is radicalism make the most Of it.
I'm for it,
Now one of the strongest opponents of
that issue is southern man. and an aspi-
rant IOT the OSSdi IhNCi

honor by the Birmingham Chamber of
Commerce, declared against the initiative.
referendum and recall. and was applaud
ed. His constituents present agreed with
him. Conservatism was frankly cham
pioned, and as frankly approved.
With the other manifestations of this
most interesting time is this sharp diff
ference between a northern democratic
leader and southern democratic leader
on an issue certain to engage attention
at the democratic national convention,
where the fortunes of both will figure.
VIII the north follow Gov. Wilson along
the path of radicalism, and the south
Mr.. Underwood along the path Of con-
servatism?

Harmony and the House.

Harmony In the House? Yes. but upon
the basis Of Organism. Such, in sub
stance, is Mr. Bryan's declaration in the
Commoner. Speaker Clark Is criticised
for lack of progressiveness, and a sort of
advertisement inserted for new leader
No man is suggested for the honor.
Mr.. Bryan should not be too exacting.
He ought to be fair judge Of House
situation, and the present situation should
recall to him one he personally knew as
member of the House nearly twenty
years ago.
At that time the tariff, as now. was the
leading issue. The democratic party then.
as now, was divided on it. Judge Crisp. a
conservative revisionist. was in the chair.
W. L. Wilson, an extreme tariff-for-rev-
enue- onlyer was leader on the floor.
This made compromise tariff measure
necessary. Had the Speaker insisted on
a measure to meet his views fully, Mr..
Wilson could not have continued in his
post. Had Mr. Wilson insisted on a meas
ure to meet his views fully, the matter
would have been halted then and there.
No such bill could have been passed
through the House.
The compromise effected. however, was
not well drawn. The Senate. which had
a very small democratic majority. did not
like it, and Mr.. German. his party's lead
er there, was able to pick the House
measure to pieces; and did it so ruthlessly
a tremendous row followed. At the next
election the democracy was showed under.
Mr.. Bryan as a member subscribed to
the compromise the House made in the
first place, and then was forced to accept
the action of the Senate in compromising
the compromise. Although a low tariff
man, he could see that the question was
a compromise bill, or no bill at all, and
he decided in favor Of half loaf, and
took the bread.
Now, with this in mind, let Mr.. Bryan
take a second look at the present House,
and ask himself If some allowance
should not be made for Mr.. Clark. The
Speaker cannot drive to suit himself The
famous road to Dublin, SO rocky in song
and story, Is not more rocky than the
road the democracy is now travelling to-
ward the White House Driving at top
speed might dump the load. The way
must be picked with care, and the foot of
the man on the box kept constantly on
the brake.
If 1t is replied that, as the compromise
Of nearly twenty years ago failed. Mr..
Bryan is justified in warning against a
compromise now. the reply to that is that
all legislation Of difficult nature is COM
promise. The test Of leader. or Of
party, is in the shaping Of a compromise.
1t was not compromising that defeated
the democracy under Mr.. Cleveland. but
the bungling character Of the compromise
effected. Mr.. Clark and his friends in
the House may be able to do better. AT
any rate, they must try.

The Central American Treaties.
rom the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
About the treaties, now awaiting the
approval of the Senate, by which provi-
sion Is made for the financial rehabilita-
ton of the republics of Nicaragua and
Honduras most of the American people
know little and probably care less. Their
immediate interests are not touched. Yet
continuance of the conditions existing
in those countries may at any time lead to
complications disorders In which the
United States would be actively engaged.
That at least may be said from the point
of view of a more than possible expense
and trouble to this country. From an
other point Of view 1t may be said that
approval of the treaties, the operation Of
which gives large promise Of political and
financial stability and economic progress
in what are now the weakest republics of
Central America. would unquestionably
lead to a material expansion Of our trade
in that region.
