The Baltimore Convention.

Following the historic Baltimore con-
yention. just closed. there is local public
sympathy for Clark. who has been ineon-
siderately and unjustly treated, ana
heightened admira ton for Bryan, who, in
dominating the convention. showed cour-
age. self-control and all the elements of
a power that was extraordinary and most
impressive.
Woodrow Wilson is IA strong ana atffac-

The convention has acted wisely
What will Roosevelt do? He indicates
that he will continue to push for thira

The Exploded Dirigible.

Melvin Vaniman believed he had solved
the problem of gas bag aviation by the
production of a dirigible balloon consist
ing Of a non-expansive gas contalner
which would keep the volume uniform
regardless OF the expansion and contrac-
ton caused by the heating and cooling
of the atmosphere He tested his theory
in practice and proved it's falIacy at the
expense of his life and those of four com
panions Ii may for the present be re-
garded as established that aviation by
lighter Uhan-air device cannot be accom-
plished by means OF rigid gas containers
adopted TO insure stability.

tons that were ideal for n test of his
theory. Ii was sent up before sunrise
and it received the early rays of the

gas. giving rightly and stability TO the
apparatus as well as fixed fiotation power.

To a Delegate.

Welcome home from the convention.
Welcome to the friends SO dear.
We were filled with apprehension
While you were no longer near
They have kept you f1ercely yelling
Where both hearts ana threats were
sore.
And we said, There is no telling
If We'll see him any more
Hats within the ring were battered.
Board and rent came swiftly due
Coin and time We're freely scattered
BY your patriotic crew.
But you rose to fame eternal
Through the trials that you bore.
You'll be known as Judge" or Colonel

Texas and Mexico.
From the New York World.

From the New York World.
Gov. Colauitt threatens to turn the
Texas National Guard loose on the Mex
cans If fighting at Juarez, across the
Rio Grande, should again lead to the
killing of persons in Ell Paso by stray
bullets. He is not disposed to rely upon
the United States for protection. The sit.
uation is so delicate that it demands the
closest attention of the authorities at
Washington. United States troops have
been stationed at Ell Paso and other points
along the boundary, and the Mexican
federals and rebels, in case of battle,
have been formally warned against fir
ing across the line. Reprisals by the
Texans under orders of their beligerent
governor would result in very serious
complications, and the United States, not
the state Of Texas, would have to bear
the consequences. If there are not
enough troops at Ell Paso to enforce re-
spect on the part of the Mexicans of the
notice served on them by the United
States government more troops should be
sent there. One false step by Gov. Col
quit might cause endless trouble. The
United States can bset restrain him and
similar hotheads by proving to them in
advance that it is not only capable of
affording FL Paso adequate protection
but determined to act effectively in any
emergency.

against the former methods that cost so
many lives and destroyed SO much prop
erty. Few jewellers in cities where the
safe and sane ideas OF Fourth of July
celebration have been adopted would care
now to return to the barbaric practices of
a few years ago. At first 1t was said
that the people could not be induced to
respect the prohibitions against promiscu-
Gus explosions. but they have on the con-
trary acauiesced cheerfully in the new
regulations. or rather the newly enforced
old regulations and now they are coming
to realize that there was something hide
ously uncivilized in the former. practices

spirit of Independence day.

A Powerful Trio.

New York, Illinois and Indiana are
great states. New York is called the En-
p:re state-the greatest in the Union. ILL
nois is not far behind and Indiana is
fourishing commonwealth
Has it been a source of pride to the de-
mocracy of those states to see them rep
resented at Baltimore as they have been?
Is MIR. Murphy the sort of man for
conference about national policies2 Has
he any knowledge about constitutional
questions? What is the tariff question to
him, What does he care about the trust
question except that the trusts are the
source of his power?
Mr.. Taggart is an indianapolis politi-
clan. with thorough knowledge of the
wards of that town. and for a time with
the ability to manipulate them to his own
ends. He knows little else. Eight years
ago he was chosen chairman of the demo-
cratic national committee. but was put
into the hands of commission. The
men who really managed the campaign
were of. by and for Wall street. August
Belmont was one of them. Who of the
slightest political consequence seeking
light on any national issue would go to
Mr.. Taggart?
Roger Sullivan is bird of the same
feather. Shrewd in his way. and able to
find his way in and around Chicago and
Cook county, he is a queer sort to be a
leader in a national convention. Mr..
Bryan was probably too rhetorical in de-
scrib'ng him as highwayman in politics.
but Mr.. Sullivan knows the game, and
plays ii after his kind. clever caucus
fixer: an industrious herder of the BOYS
for election day: successful solicitor of
campaign contributions, he belongs, not
uses. but. when ungoverned, they become
abuses.
The times undoubtedly are grave. Mo-
mentous issues are under discussion. We
have not as people experienced before
such deep and far-reachng unrest Many
men ordinarily of light and leading are
just now themselves seeking light and
willing to be led.
But Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Taggart and Mr.
Sullivan are not of the number They
are seeking no light, and never have they
been more willing TO lead. Men of the
Bryan type may rage, but let them rage
Can New York be carried for the democ-
racy without Mr.. Murphy? or Indiana
without Mr.. Taggart? or Illinois without
Mr.. Sullivan? That Is the question the
members of the trio are putting to all
who offer criticism of them and their con-
duct.

Personal Tax Guessing.

An increase in personal property as
