v: TARIFF REVISION PARAMOUNT ISSUE. Census of Opinion of Southern Democrats Visiting Washington. POPULISTIC PLANKS TO BE EX CLUDED. Platform to be an Oil Time IA predion , ot True lemrratii l-'aitli ViOImi ious Declaration Mill be Incorporated. (BY .lAMIi . MOl'.VltTHY.I Washington, I. C. Jin't- 15. If the opiuion of Iemlin lenioeruti dropping nu Washington Irom time t time onxits for anything :i plank demurring the imti.itive and referendum will in't he incorporated in the next platform of National Democracy. Tin? piopusition to insert such a plank in the platform is .advocated on'.y by those who formerly afliliii'i.".: w'th the I'opulist Party. " No j-Miim' Democrat, whether from t-ic Smth. North, Kast or West, has eiiilorseil the plan, and it can he iuWy said thaf the party will n t or nietiaeeil by such an issue in t:v :;vxt Presidential election. The strongest protest against the incorporation of such a J lank in the Democratic platform have coiik frem the South. Southern Demo crats realize the danger of such a form of govermeut more fully than those of any other sections, and as the convention will he controlled by the representatives of that section, it can be asserted in all confidence that the platform will be minus that piece of I'opif.istie timber. Southern Democrats point out that had initiative and referendum prevailed in ls','1. when the iniijui tous Foice 15:11 was being considered by Congress, the South would not to day be enjoying the blessings of white supremacy. The Republican Party, which controlled Congress at that time, and which has always bid for the nero vote, would have for political reasons, if for no other, submitted the question to the people, and the North being the stronger in votes, the same would have approved at the polls, and Federal bayonets would be iu the South to day to see that the negro be not denied the privilege of the ballot. It is also claimed that should initiative and referendum prevail, Congress, upon the petition of fifteen per cent of the male citizens of the county, would be compelld to initiate and refer to people for adoption any law that might appeal to the whims and fancies of the petitioners. For example, should the negroes of the country petition Congress to initiate -J a law to reduce representation of the Southern States in Congress be cause of their disfranchisements of the negro, that body would be com pelled to refer such a law to the people for approval, and there would be little doubt of its adoption, as the republican voters of the North and West are always ready to seize an opportunity to deal the South a deadly blow. " If the sentiment today is an indi rection of Democratic tendency, the paramount plank in the next Dem ocratic platform will be tariff revi sion. The platform w'll contain no declarations obnoxious to the views of all factions of the party. Initia tive and referendum, government ownership of railroads, and other Populisticism will be cast aside. The platform will be an old time Democratic expression of the true Democratic faith, and once more united, as it would be under such a condition, would march to one more gtat and glorious victory. Speaker Cannon On North Carolina And Greensboro. Washington Herakl. "The trip I have just made to my native county in North Carolina was one of the happiest incidents in my life, and I shall always be glad that I made it," said Speaker Joseph O. Cannon to a Herald reporter at the New Willard. "There were, of course, no people there with whom I had personal acquaintance, for I was only four years-old when my father left the State, and yet I was familiar with scores of family names of residents of that community. They showed me the graveyards, now a century old, in which lav the remains of my maternal grandfather, Isaac Hollins worth. Among those who eslab ' lished Guilford College, where I spoke to the people, was my own i father. "It was pleasant to get back to the native heath, and it was inspir- 1 ing to see how well the old State is striding along in the path of prosper ity. Why, sir, if I could have been 'landed in Greensboro blindfolded, without knowing what direction I had taken, I would have thought my self in borne live buttling, well-bnilt city of Illinois or Ohio. "'Here is a Southern town. that is as redolent of the modern spirit of activity and industrial growth as anything we have north of the Ohio river." ! LOVES OF TWO GREAT MEN i I I ((notion of Mckinley ami Tooiub. to Tlielr W ives. j A'asliiugton Herald, How sweet it is and how grate- ful we should be that it is to jenj iv the contemplation of so rare a i love as that existing between William Vk-Kmley and his wife. How rest ! ful to turu aside from th heartaches, ! the pain, the sorrow, and the shams of those who tread the beaten paths i through pritnrow w iys of worldly : things, and give thought to that which we know to have beeu ideally ' pure, ennobling and approved of the Master. The love of William McKinley and his gentle helpmeet was us ' simple as the sunshineof June-time; it. was just a winding of ivy about ! the oak tree an affection without an element of unrest, of uncertainty : or of doubt. It is not to be told ! of in words tuey are such idle things at best. It was a love born iu esteem and high regard: it was nur- tired in serenity, it was jeweled with the memory of children saeri , tired to death, and it lived and grew and broadened, and eventually encompassed entirely two souls that ' were truly one. and two hearts that 1 knew no separate throb. William McKinley, who rherished such a beautiful affection for his wife, was the gentlest of men. i Harsh words, rarely, if ever, passed i his lips. He dreaded the task that ! involved the slightest possibility I of wounding a fellow creature's i feelings, lie was kind, considerate, I ind tactful. One wulu hardly j think to tilid a parallel to Ins teuder ! regai d to h.s life co npanion in such i a man as Uobeit Toombs, of Geor gia. Toombs was many things that MeKinley was ivr . Fiery, hot tem pered, scornful, and utterly unmind ful of the feelings or pride of those near to him. the Georgian was a whirlwind of passion and a hurii caue of crushing, bif.ng, bitter words. A:.d yet his love for his gentle inva lid wife was ideal. Like McKinley, Toombs was the lover :o the very last. He was nurse at the bedside when pain racked the body of his dear and precious charge. Never was the day too occupied for Toombs to take the afternoon drive, and n'ver lived the footman who carried his loved one to and from the carriage. Those who remember Robert Toomlg iu life bear in their minds no more cherished picture than that of the Southerner carrying his frail 8Dd fragile wife tenderly, and carefully in his own strong arms. To Mrs. McKinley the martyred president was ever the "Major. lo Mrs. loombs the Georgian was ever the "General." It frequently happens thus. Men as far apart as the poles in tempera ment, environment, physical and mental make-up, come to a high and lofty level under the inspiration of a good woman's pure and unaffected love. "One touch of nature makes the whole world kin," ana the small white hands of the women worth while guide into common fellowship the souls of men who are truly great. l-'rom Lecture of CJovernor Taylor ot Tennessee. "I heard a great master play on a wonderous violin; his bow quivered like the wing of a bird; in every quiver there was melody breathed, a thought in language sweeter than ever uttered by human tongue. The enchanted violin poured out its sweetest soul, and in its music I thought I heard the ru9tle of a thousand joyous wings and a burst of song from a thousand joyous throats. Mocking birds and linnets thrilled the air with warblings; gold finches, thrushes and bobolinks trilled their happiest tunes, and the oriole sang a lullaby to her hanging cradle that rocked in the wind. I heard the twitter of skimming swallows and the scattered covey's piping call; I heard the robin's gay whistle, the croaking of crows, the scolding of blue jays and the melan choly cooing of a dove. The sway ing tree-tops seemed vocal with bird song while he played, and the laby rinths of leafy shade echoed the chorus." V. C. Photographic Contest For Amateurs.
