The paramount question of the hour re- lates to the future action of the sound- meney democrats who have rejected the work of the Chicage convention. They are men of purpese and conviction, and they hope to see Mr. Bryan defeated at the pol They are now discussing the best means of contributing to that end. Shall they put ap a ticket of their own and poll as many Votes as possible for it? Or shall they go over promptly and openly to the support of Mr. McKinley and help swell the straightout support of the republican ticket? Many of these men are advocates of a lew tariff. They are on record both by vote and speech against protection, and especially as illustrated by Mr. McKinley's interpretation of that policy. This is caus- ing them to hesitate now about their duty. Mr. McKinley's money views as expressed in bis Canton speeches are in the fullest measure satisfactory to them. They can hope to put up no man of their own sound- <r on that score than he is. But they com- plain that he will persist in “lugging in” the tariif He Insists on keeping that ques- tion a gool deal to the fore.

His youthfui- ness would leave the country with a se- rious problem cn {ts hands in the event of his election. In this republic the pres!- dency is regarded as the crowning athievement of a career. Beyond that no man can aspire. Mr:Bryan would be only a little over forty years old at his retire- ment. At that time many men are only beginning the!r serious endeavors for suc- He couid not be expected to retire to rural seclusion. Tt 1s impossible to rele- gate a man to the back-number class at yuch an age and yet it is difficult to see what there would bé for Mr. Bryan to do exeept to linger with energies and ambi- tion alert but ineffectual, chafing because there are no new Worlds to conquer.

The Star has rot only, according to its custom, eclipsed the efforts of other al newspapers, but it has broken the magnificent records previously established by itself. The week which closed with Saturday: last was ‘one which called for extra--ainary exertion on the part of local journals. Here In Wash- ington the Christian :Jeavor conventioa sion, while at Chicago the chosen ives of the democratic party met to adopt a platform and to nominate a presidential ticket. ‘To place before the people of this city the news of those great gatherings and te keep the public fully irformed as to other local and general happenings was a task of iarge propor- tions, even for such a staff and such me- chanical facilities as serve The Star. That the task has been performed to the satis- faction of everybody is demonstrated by the congratulations ‘and words of praise which have been showered upon The Star. In six days The Star has published one hundred and_twelve pagea of accurate in- formation, largely as to the two big gath- erings, but dedling*“also with the news affairs of the-whole. world. Toward the success of the Christian En- deavor Converitioh-Phe Star has contributed at least 4s shage by printing a more com- plete report of the proceedings than has ever béén att#tfipted in any other of the cities where previous conventions have met. It was not mackine-made matter elther. Whenever and wherever there has been a Meeting there also was a Star reporter, and the result was accuracy such as is €ommon eaough in The Star, but which is somewhat infrequent in journals that are Prompted by mistaken economy to use, without verification, advance reports fur- nished gratuitously. The Star's method was costly but satisfactory. In addition to the reports of meetings there was a vast quantity of other and hardly less interest- ing matter—sketches, biographical and otherwise, brief stories of incidents, in- structive interviews, and a wealth of illus- tration. The successful combination of all these qualities accounts for the fact that The Star will be found and preserved a3 a scuvenir In far more Endeavor homes inside and outside of Washington than will be reached by all other secular publications combined. The deeds and misdeeds of the Chicago convention have been told, carefully and at length. Able staff correspondents, whose good work at St. Louis had been noted and warmly commended by Star readers, were on the ground early, and having thorough understanding of so much of the situation as could be understood by any one they kept The Star constituency well posted. In addition to its brilliant special service The Star gave to its readers the quick and accurate news reports of the Associated Press, which here, as at St. Louis, distanced all competitors. The Chicago convention was nctably an afternoon newspaper con- vention. The nominations and other even‘s of greatest Importance took place in day- light hours during that larger portion of the day which Is covered by those publica- tions which print the news of today as distinguished from that of yesterday. In- c‘dental and late news, of minor import- arce except to the morning press—which had to be content with warmed-over dishes —was displayed by The Star to waiting and grateful thousands through the medium of a big screen and an efficiently. operated stereopticon. Whatever there was of news The Star scattered it abroad— either by regular or extra editions or on the screen. ———_~ + = _____ It is to be hoped that the western men who regarded the eastern democrats as an effete and luxurious class took advantage of their opportunities while in Chicago to look at Tammany and disabuse their minds. ————+ e | ____ As discontent is the prime element of their doctrine the refusal of populist se- ceders to unanimously approve of Bryan may be accepted as an evidence of con- sistency. ——__+-e= Major McKinley finds cheer In the re- flection that while the opposition has a gcod commend of language, it has no Mark Hanna for a manager. ——_—_ + «= —___ Two hundred and twenty-five men are said to be employed today on the new city post-office building.
