THE ! SEEKING A PLATFORM. OURKE COCKRAN has joined the number of New York ledders who have declared for Cleveland for a fourth nomination-and a third He has, however, accompanied his declara- tion with the statement: “His nomination if accom- | plished must result’ from an imperative demand, | | springing directly from the people. It cannot be| brought about by apy manipulation of machinery, because the management of his party is overwhelm- ingly hostile to him.” Such a qualification of the Cleveland boom virtually puts it eut of the domain of practical politics; for there is not -the slightest ‘prospect th-re will ever be an imperative demand for .the renomination of Cleveland even from the rank and file of-Democracy, while of the country as a whole it may be said the demand is fof the renomi- nation of Roosevelt. > 5 At the present time it appears the conservative | Democrats, the mugwumps and the free traders are | willing to accept Mr. Cleveland once more as a |leader. To that extent they present a united fropt | fand have thereiore an advantage over the Bryanites, | who are still béating the bush in the hope of rousing | somebody who can run. We have thus the curious | situation of the outsiders of the party fairly well or- ganized and ready for a struggle, while the insiders | {and controllers of the machine are without either a | leader or a policy. Meantime the issue has shifted from candidates to | IpI;niorm(. The Bryanites insist upon a platform of | ! what they call principles, while the reorganizers afe | iwnl'vng to accept” anything for harmony. In tha!l H e of the fight the Bryanites have the advantage. | They know their platiorm and are confident of their ‘i following.” The conservatives have a leader, but they | ! do not know what course they should pledge him to ! | take They are willing to pass the money question | {'in silence and. to say mothing about the Chicago or | but a platform cannot be | | Kansas City doctrines, s | It must say something even if | | made up of silence | t be no more than a promise to turn the rascals out and put none but good men on guard. | 'We learn from New York that co Uing held by the Brooklyn Democrat " Tilden Club for the purpose of framing some kind of rences are be- | Club with the | latiorm for. presentation at the national conven-| rtion,” but as yvet the have been futile. | Some -of the leaders are in favor of declaring for straight out free trade, but others insist fthat such a platiorm would frighten the business interests of the country and recommend a gereral demand for tariff.| yeyjsion. .Still others oppose even that much and | lLold that any kind of tariff fight would alarm the | vy because of the experience with the last Dem- | ap conferences COu ocratic tariff tinkering. { In-the midst of this confusion there aré voices that | propose a campaign of attack without promising any- thing definite except a :hange administration. Smith Ely, a former Mayor of New York, is quoted | as saying: “The errors and absurdities of our present President and- his administration afford abundant ma- terial for a successful fight. 1 think the only issue will be.a negative one. We shall confine ourselves to attacking the -ermors of the present administra- of 1 Ely did not] tion.” It.is to be- regretted that Mr. i specify one or more of the errors he proposes to lattack. Such z statement would have been a valuable | confribution to the campaign, for up to this time | the most conspicuous feature of the Roosevelt ad- | ion has been the widespread approval with which every act of it has been received. Another platform has been suggested by Mr. Towne. He proposes something in the way of an appeal 1o the memories of Jefferson and Jackson with a studied avoidance of anything done by the Democratic party since the time of Van Buren: In| a speech at the Brooklyn harmony banquet*he said: | “To restore the ancient landmarks of the consti- tution. to wrest from private interest.the control of the Government and bring the people to their own {again; is not this a programme in which all genuine [ Defiocrats can unite? “And if a man honestly joins in Such a cause is he not a Democrat?” | Sach is the condition of the ‘party {for a platiorm s becoming urgent tified himseli-on theold camp ground. and if the re. organizers have @ better positibn ta offer it is time | for them to make 3t kuows. i | n { i A red-headed candidate for Gongress in a Kansas district appeaied desperately for faver 1o every sorrel- | | topped felow citizen within reach and he scored a | triumph in every county in the district.

It is quite safe to! | say that a simifar vote taken in any large city of the { United States among intelligent readers would have | i given the German Emperor a much higher rank.” It i seems evident that Kaisers, like prophets, are more honored in other lands than in their own. In fact, is not impossible that the men who counted the { Berlin vote felt it incumbent upon them to force the itally a little hit for fear they might violate the law | of lese majeste by publishing a list of the ten most i distinguished men of the time without including the i Kaiser atall, - 0 R R ! Another interesting feature of the vote is that, with | R ECENTLY the Berlin Tageblatt submitted to man or warrior is nicluded in the list. “Not.evenithe | Pope gets a place.. In Berlin distinction-is attained | not in war nor in politics, but in letters, sciences and 1 Perhaps there is no other city in the weorld | arts. ; where such a vote would have been given. ; | That Germany should get five men out of the ten |is mot surprising, for of course each country hears most of its local men and accounts them the most | distinguished, but it is rather surprising that out | of the six who stand at the head of the list there is 1 only one German. ¥ g | Another instructive feature is the fact that'most :[m‘ the men named are old men. Evidently the Ber- | linese do not take much interest in young aspirants |(or fame. Marconi is about the only new-comer in {the world of publicity who gets a. winning vote. Wagner is dead and Berlin recognizes no one living who is worthy to be his sticcessor. Russia gets one man, America one, Italy one, Norway two; dreat Britain, France and the-rest of the gvorld get none. - The most surprising feature of Yhe whole-is that, lin a list of this kind, made up mainly of men of iscience, no place is given to Herbert Spencer, who in | with a vachting event | past.” and the captains and the crews who are | ficers the New York club has not limited itself to -American yacht is to be equipped with Britis'r can- {can victory at all.

His name is just as con- spicuous by its absence as that of the Pope. No!

It is worth noting, however, that Mark Twain got one vote Our next door neighbor, Mexico, is Having all sorts of trouble with her political campaigns. As she has only touched upon the murderous edge of these diversions she may console herself in the knowledge that trouble is an ‘evitable indication ‘of healthy life. P A been thade with the challenger and the de- fender of the America’s cup to justify the be- lief that in the coming contest all previous records will be broken and the new century will be started A which it will strain the yacit-builders of the future to the uttermost to sur-| pass. Shamrock III has easily beaten her predeces- sor; and the Reliance has defeated the. Constitution and Ieft the Columbia outclassed. Both. the yacht- building firms have exceeded their best work in the y to handle the craft appear to know how to sail their boats for all that is in them. : While the outlook is in that respect satisfactory | to all lovers of yachting, it is evident. that the con- tests can no longer be.rightly deemed international. | They have now become .mere racing ‘matches be-| tween the New York Yachf Clab and some one of the several clubs of Great Britain. The boats no longer represent national types of yacht,construction, nor are they handled by national crews. The British yacht-builders have availed themselves of every fea- | ture of excellence in American yacht construction, and our builders have been equally prompt in taking lessons from. the British. Thus the rival yachts are essentially "of the same type of boat and the differ- ences between them are. mere matters of detail. So, too, in the seiection of the crew and the sailing of- J R SRS THE RIVAL YACHTS. SUFFICIENT number of tests have now Americans, but has sought the-best men it could get, regardless of nationality. Anotker departure from the national rivalry former times is reported in the statement that the| of vas. That action on the part of the New Yorkers | appears to have disgusted some of the British yachts- men, for the Pall Mall Gazette complains of it, and in a recent issue sa “This is a most unsportsmanlike proceeding. Ii the race is to be a real test of merit each yacht should he completely equipped in the country to which it belongs. " If the defender wins by means of British canvas it would not be an Ameri- The only consolation would be that the superiority of the British workmanship re- ceived so fine a testimonial.” { There is of course an element of justification for | the complaint. In a strictly international race the | American yacht should carry American sails; be| handled by an American crew and sailed - by an American skipper; but the British have no right to complain, for they have copied as much—if not more | —from us than have the New Yorkers from them. As a matter of fact, however, the contest is no| longer international. The race is not open to the competition of-all yachts that choose to enter under the regulations. No American yacht can compete unless under the control of the New York Yacht Club, so that this country is by no means rightly rep- resented in the match.. The race will be:interesting | as a vyacht race merely. It-is not a match between | Britain and America. but it is 2 match between the | two: best yachts upon the sea, and that fact will bel sufficient, to -make it interesting to all overs of the sport 2 The announcement thdt George Francis Train has the smalipox will serve fo remind the world that he! is still living and, under the circumstances, we pre-: t kicking THE EASTERN STORMS. ITHIN a week the deaths caused by cy- clones in the upper Mississippi valley num- ber one hundred, and the loss oi property by wind and flood goes in to the millions. Science may tell us about the origin of these whirl- ing terrors, but can offer no remedy. They are gen- | curb. The unfortunate resident in those regions has no recourse except to seek his cyclone celiar and fasten the door, while his houses and cattle are lifted ; into the air and dashed to destruction upon the ground irom a great height. Planted fields amll growing crops are eradicated, and when the m;\n, issuies from his cave he finds all of his possessions gone except his titl to his clean shaven real estate. That region was alwa;s subject to these storms, but they hecame a human calamity only as the country was inhabited, and their destruction grows worse as the population increases. - No place is safe from them and the gréat cities are as likely to be destroyed in their place as the open country. - No structuge vet|. - devised by man seems to be proof against the force of the cyclone. Running locontotives are lifted from the rails and twisted into corkscrews, and stout build- F ; wngs collapse as if they were made of straw.. . - Yet people go on plowing and planting in that vast region; they. build towns and trust to lick and chance kzve some-disadvantages in California.- -Here are'a few perturbations in the orderly” procession ‘of the sgasons, but, we:have Tothing that compares in_ de: structive force to the Eastern cyclone. It is odd that our little earthquakes are ayfigllilig,vo' he Eastern’ ‘mind. Since California was known' by civilized ntan the fatalities from earthquakes do not number a halfJ dozen. Yet Eastern people look on from afar in ter- ror at our temblors, while in the nidst of them one week of cyclones takes a hundred lives and destroys millions of doliars in property. & Taq those unfortunately - located people California reaches out, her: hands in invitation, asking them to come here where the air does not commit murder, and the rivers run to the sea without destructive flood. 3 . | 1t is strange how apparently sane and sober people in ‘the enjoyment of life, liberty and happiness will tempt fate to rob them of all they-possess.
