BRITISH CRITICISMS OF OUR PO-
LITICAL METHODS.

The English papers. just reaching
this country discuss with much full
ness the result of the Republican con-
vention at Chicago.
They are full of adverse criticism,
most OF which travels along two main
channels. The first is to the effect
that the bolt of Roosevelt and the or
ganization of a third party make the
dual party system Of this country an
absurdity. The second concerns our
method of nominating Presidents by
huge, uncomfortable, disorderly con-
ventlons.
The former has little point to IL
AS long as our system remains as it
is and huge organizations are neces-
sary to the success Of party, no per-
manent third party OF great influence
and Importance is possible. But tenn
porary third parties have been useful
in the past and will doubtless rise up
to perform beneficial service il the
future. While unsuccessful them
selves, they may nevertheless deter
mine the result between the two par
ties, to the benefit of the nation. And
If a third party has real mission to
perform, if it is expressive Of princi-
pies and policies close to the hearts Of
the American people, it will in the
course of time supplant one or the
other Of the great parties, as the Re
publican party supplanted the Wing.
So far as the other criticism is con-
cerned, we are inclined to agree with
our English friends 1t il difficult
to believe that the hooting, the crowd
ing, the disorder, the manufactured
demonstrations" the spread-eagle
oratory and the exhibitions of steam
roller operations help any party to
get it's best available man as its can
didate for the Presidency.
Fortunately, the abolition Of the
present style of nominating conven-
ton will be logical result Of the gen
eral adoption of the direct primary
system, and we may therefore expect
the evil to remedy itself very shortly.

OF COLLEGE GRADU-
ATES.

The decennial record of the class Of
1901 Oh Princeton University, just t.
sued shows that the average income Of
members of the class 10 years after
graduation il almost $4,000.
The average income for the first
year l. $7O644, and the average in
crease through the succeeding years
is steady, with incomes from law,
business and medicine increasing
more rapidly than those from other
pursuits.
The average income for teachers af-
ter 10 years was s1,779; of clergymen,
$1,714; Of physicians, $1,000; lawyers,
$4,994, and business, $4,6S4.
The average in law and medicine is
probably higher than the average in
comes of lawyers and physicians in
general. How much of this depends
on the Princeton training, and how
much on the original resources or So
cial position of those from whom the
class was recruited must be matter

The frankness of those business
men and lawyers who made reports

themselves could know, il to be con

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE FOR
PRESIDENT.

Tt is with pleasure and party pride
W. place at the head of our columns
this, week, the name of WOODROW
WILSON, as the nominee Of the Demo
cratic National Convention, for Presi-
dent Of the United States. He was
nominated on Tuesday last at the Bal
timore convention, on the forty-sixth
ballot. The convention from the be-
ginning was stirring and interesting
one.
There we're a number Of prominent
men whose names were before the
convention for Presidential honors,
either Of whom would have been most
creditable to the party a. nominee,
and it is no disparagement to those
who failed of nomination, that their
claims could not, at this time, be
recognized.
Gov. Wilson's candidacy for the
nomination, in the Primaries preced-
ing the convention, made profound
impression upon the Democratic party
OF the country, and having been chos-
en- by the convention as the standard
bearer Of the party in the coming cam
paign, the selection will be hailed ev-
erywhere with satisfaction.
Woodrow Wilson is a man Of I'M
usual ability and fitness for the high
nRoo ~ Dracidopf ~ Tho TTpi+od
States, and his election in November
next, we think, il almost foregone
conclusion. The country Is evidently
DESTROYS Of change in the National
administration, and will regard the
candidacy Of Gov. Wilson, al the great
opportunity for deliverance from the
evils which have been brought upon
the country by the Republican party
He il a native of Virginia and q
Democrat of the Jefferson and Jack
son type, and an administration under
his able and safe leadership, will bring
back to the country the blessings Of
Democratic rule.
The able young Governor Of Indiana,
Governor Marshall was nominated by
reclamation for President, which
will greatly strengthen the ticket in
that part of the West 30 that, the
Democrats have in these two candi-
dates, splendid opportunity to sweep
the country, and they will do SO, by
the largest vote, we predict, that has
ever been cast for a Presidential
ticket.
