No Democrat who knows any thing about Senator Vest, of Mis souri, and there are few Democrats who read who do not know some thing about him, will question his Democracy. He stood loyally by the Kansas City platform in the campaign of '96 and 1900, and is a bimetalllst now, but he doesn't be fore that the silver question should be kept at the front to make an issue that will keep the Democratic party divided when there is nothing to be gained by it and no prospect of advancing Democratic policies. In speaking of this recently with a representative of the St. Louis public, he said: I have no objection to statin that while I am a bimetalllst, sincerely and truly, and believe that silver is money of ultimate redemption, I do not think that this is the time to make the free and unlimiate coinage of silver at 16 to 1 a paramount issue. I believe that a man can be a good Democrat with out endorsing the declaration in the Kansas City platform for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 18 to 1 without the consent of foreign coun tries. , . . , I will further state that I think Mr. Bryan's declaration, made in his paper and in his speeches at Chillicothe and other places in Missouri, that no man should be sent as a delegate to any county, 8tate or national convention who does not indorse the Kansas City platform in its entirety is a very great mistake. If this is to be the test of De ' mocracy in Missouri, men will be read out of the party who, like myself, have voted the ticket for fifty years, but who now believe that circumstances have made the free and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 an impol itic declaration. If this should be the test of Democ racy, numbers of Democrats who stood by the doctrines and principles of the party when it was worth a man's life to do so would be driven from the organisation. I know a great many old veteran Democrats in Missouri who stood, in the dark days after the civil war, by the aide of Frani P. Blair, pistol in hand, who would be read out of the ranks if the issue should be made as repeatedly de clared by Mr. Bryan. I am a blmetallist upon principle, but I do not believe that men should be ostracized or declared traitors to the party because they do not think that free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 is to be always the test of De mocracy. These are my opinions, but I do not undertake to instruct the State conven tion what they should do. I have no personal ambition to subserve and no disposition to criticize anybody. I simpiy express what I honestly believe to be the best policy for the party to which I belong. This is a very calm expression of opinion by a man who has been for years recognized as one of the most distinguished of Democrats and one of the party's most loyal, able and eloquent spokesmen and defenders. He has always been true to silver, and was one of its ablest champions in Congress. But he is a practical man who believes in recognizing the conditions that confront us, sees fol ly of kicking against the inevitable, and grinding your teeth gnawing a file. He doesn't scold or criticise anyone, although he might without impropriety have indulged in some criticism of the impracticables who assume leadership and fail to recog nize the conditions under which the movements on the field must be made. There are Democrats who have an idea that loyalty to the party re quires adhesion to the last platform adopted and its endorsement by the conventions that may meet. Carry this idea out logically and where would we find ourselves, a party fighting over the past and restricted by its own limitations from adapt ing itself to confronting conditions, a party againBt which the gates of progress and usefulness are closed by its own act. There isn't a prin ciple, or. so-called principle, or a policy of the Republican party to day which has not been at some time denounced in Democratic plat forms, and fought by the Democratic party, but they are no longer issues. Did the party prove untrue to itself or abandon its principles when it dropped these issues and turned its attention to new issues which had arisen ? We have never heard any Democrat's loyalty questioned for that, although there are thousands of Democrats who do not now approve some of these relegated questions any more-than they did when they were live and party-dividing issues. Parties, like men in business, must be conducted on practicable meth ods. If they are organized simply for the purpose of offering more or less opposition to the rival party, and never expect to win an election, but to regard adherence to issues of by-gone years as essential, wheth er they involve vital principles or not, such a party may continue to plod on, but a party which expects to win and benefit the people for whom it contends must be able to adapt itself to conditions, and not weight itself down with issues that cannot inspire a following. It must be free to grasp the issues in which the people do take interest. Silver was demonetized in 1873. No Democrat approved of that. The Democrats fought it in Congress and out. They fought it under the leadership of Richard Bland until they forced the Sherman compro mise, which they thought was the best they -could do at the time, and bet ter than nothing. But the free and unlimited coinage of silver did not become a cardinal issue until 1896. Did the Democrats between 1878 and 1896 lack loyalty to the party or to Democratic principles when they permitted other issues to over shadow the silver question? They did that, but did not thereby relin quish any of their devotion to bi metallism. They simply recognized the fact that there were other issues more pressing and in which the peo ple took more interest. Free silver was made the cardi nal issue in 1896 because the con ditions favored it. Hard times piessed the masses of the people, money was scarce, and the people believed, and were right in the be lief, that free coinage would make money more plentiful, relieve the depression and make times better. That was one of the arguments used by the advocates of free silver and it had its weight, and great weight. The masses of the people demanded free silver, not because they wanted silver especially, but because they wanted more money in circulation, and they believed that was the way to get it. They have more money now. - There - has been legislation to give them more money. More gold has been coined, more silver coined, more national banks have been established and in many places under the amended national bank act where there were no flanks before. Thus the demand for an increased volume of currency has been met, the business depression has been removed and the masses of the people are not suffering as they were-in 1896, when the money ques tion was one that aroused the people all over the country. But they could not be stirred by it now, even in sections where that issue in 1896 had the most enthusiastic and ag gressive support. What, then, is the use of trying to make it and insist upon its being an issue in 1904? Devotion to prin ciple is one thing; lack of practical sense is another. The man who lacks practical sense does ' not nec essarily establish a claim as an ad herent to principle, but he does de monstrate his incompetency as a leader. Off THE RIGHT LIKE. There was a great negro educa tional mass meeting in Athens, Ga., a few days ago at which were pres ent a number of prominent colored men' who made addresses on the right line. Th6 object of the meet ing was to collect funds for Morris Brown .College, colored, at Atlanta. One of the principal addresses was by Rev.R.D.Stinson. The main feature of his address is thus reported in a special to the Atlanta Constitution: He urged the separation of the tax paying, law-abiding, industrious and peaceful negroes from the criminal element of the race. He made a strong appeal for law and order and among those of his own race, and emphasized the necessity of the .discontinuance of th harboring of criminal negroes by negroes. He maintained that the best element of the race was willing to co operate with the white people in the suppression of vice and crime. In spite of adverse criticism, he was deter mined to do all in his power for the betterment of his race. His address received the approbation of .those present He was followed by Rev. J. A. Davis, pastor of the first Methodist church in Athens who said in part: "The negro must do manual labor and for many years the white man must be the director. Both races could and should do more to cultivate friend ly relations than they are doing." He urged that duties as well as risht and privileges belong to citizenship. James u. Henderson, president of Morris Brown college, in his address. explained that difference between in dustrial and higher education. He urged the necessity of the negro race giving special attention to industrial training, and that they seek that training which would best fit each for his life's work. He also showed the necessity of higher education for the leaders of the race. He strongly maintained that the negro should prepare, more for the living than for dying. We quote these because they show that thinking colored men are be ginning to view questions regard ing their race in the right light, and that they are moving towards the line for the solution of the race prob lem. These speakers were all in ac cord with Booker T. Washington, who has been laboring for years to impress upon his people not only the importance but the necessity of be ginning at the bottom and working patiently, perseveringry upward. But there is a suggestion in the remarks of the first speaker, Davies, (although this was not the first time it was made) which every negro ought to impress upon his memory and act upon; that is for negroes to cease sympathizing with and har boring negro criminals, a practice which has done the , race infinite harm, injuring the good as well as the bad, for they all suffer by it. The criminal negro is as much or more an enemy of his own race than an enemy of the white race, and they show folly of the most idiotic kind when they fail to realize that and screen him because his slrin is black. They ought to-be among the first to run him down and bring him to j ustice. A New York man has ' sued a bar ber because the barber sliced off a hunk of his chin while sharing him. The barber pleaded In self defence that the man was talking, but the sliced swore the barber began it and he had to talk to stop the barber and save himself from being talked to death. A PIGTAIL WHISTLE Gen. Bragg, of Wisconsin, Consul General at Havana, has got himself into warm water by a too free expres sion of opinion of the difficulty Uncle Sam will encounter in trying "to make something out of the Latin race," by whom he meant the inhab itants of Cuba, of the ruling class, as distinguished from those of Afri can and mixed blood. In a letter to his wife, who is in Washington, he thus tersely expressed his opinion: "Uncle Sam might as well try to make a whistle out of a pig's tail as to try to make something out of the Latin race," from which it appears that Gen. Bragg has no very high opinion of the Latin race as it figures in Cuba. He was writing to his wife and of course did not intend that his sizing up of the Latin race should get into the newspapers and back to the Cu bans, but the opinion is that his wife showed the letter to some of her friends because there was a great deal in it about Cuba that was in teresting, and some of these repeated the General's pigtail whistle remark, and thus it got into the papers. In reply to an inquiry from Washington he simply said "the publication is unauthorized." The question now is what the out come will be, whether President Palma will ask for the withdrawal of Gen. Bragg, or simply ignore him and let the Department of State take such action &s it sees fit.. Whatever action it may take, wheth er it may be a reprimand with a warning not to put his private opin ions on paper when they may get out, the General has made himself a persona non grata with the Latin folks in Cuba, who, of course, will give him the cold shoulder, if he should hold his job as Consul Gen eral. As far as the Latin race to which he referred is concerned there was more truth than poetry in his cdrt style of sizing it up. Baron De Wehlmont, who is in jail in New York on a charge of swindling a fellow countryman out of $1,500, seems'to be pursued by the hoodo 13. He was born February 13, was married on July 13, arrived in this country on November 13, oc cupies coll 13 in prison, was arrested by a constable with 13 letters in his name, was arraigned in part 13 of the court, his case was first heard on June 13, and the fellow who is prosecuting him has 13 let ters in his name. This ought to settle the 13 business with him. Wages per capita, in 1900, were lower than they were in 1890. And that disposes of the assertion that the trust have been for years making a liberal divide of the money they extort from consummer with their employes. Chattanooga Times, Ind. . Secretary Root's reply to Governor Taft's dispatch stating the position of the Vatican, insists on the withdrawal of the friars, but as it is couched in language that in vites a continuation of the negotia tion it conveys a half promise to yield later on. Jacksonville Times Union, Dem. We tell those Cubans that they must keep order and be civi lized or we will put them in the lock up, and then we take steps to pre vent them from trading with us and otherwise avoiding the paths of idle ness, want, revolution and anarchy.

It is said that he gave Mr. Pierpont Morgan a surprise the other day by proving to him, from some old records brought . from Weisbaden, that John D. Rockefel ler is of German blood.

The sheriff stated that every effort had been made by the Mecklenburg officers to capture Robinson, but that nothing was heard of him until Sun day. He said that the negroes of the county ' had made threats to lynch him, but that he apprehended no dan ger from that source. Greenville Reflector: Mr. J. G. Bowling made a trip through Beau fort county last week, visiting more than eighty farms. He says the crops are splendid, never saw finer any where. On Friday Gus Forbes captured a wild hog in the pocosin about five miles from town. He was out hunting when his dogs jumped something and he thought they were running a fox,, and following the chase he soon came upon the dogs with the hog at bay. The hog put up a big fight, and once Gus had to climb a tree to escape an attack. While the does had the hog down Gus Blip pea out of the tree and with a club struck the hog a blow on the head that stunned him. Before the animal could recover Gus had him securely tied and took him home alive. The hog has dangerous looking tusks.

To-day a colored man with a bullet wound in his left hand had a surgeon to dress it. lie was a stranger here, one of the three men who were seen as suspicious persons in Red Bone Monday. A tele - cram was received here this (Tuesday) morning stating that Mr. J. R. Wat son, engineer on the Seaboard Air Line, was killed in a wreck on that road early to-day. No particulars were stated. Salisbury Sun: Considerable excitement was created here Sunday by the report that one of the men who participated in the lynching of the Gillespie boys for the brutal murder of Miss Benson had turned State's evi dence and given away the whole thing. One of the men said to be-im plicated has been arrested and war rants for a number of others are in the hands of the officers. It is stated that two Plnkerton detectives have been in the county for some time trying to se cure evidence, but this may be mere speculation. The identity of the man who has turned informer is not known at this time except to the officers, and It is probably as well that this should be the case. There is naturally some curiosity as to who the informer is, and there has been considerable com ment regarding his action, most of which would not look well in type . fVVINKLINUS She There's really no reason for married folks to quarrel.

COTTON MARKETS. By Xeiwrou &o the Horning: Btar New York, July 16. The cotton market opened quiet, with prices un changed to three points higher, this being a natural response to firmness in the Lirerpool market and tosupr porting orders from abroad. Follow ing the call the tendency was upward on buying led by the shorts, who seemed to fear possible "squeezes" in July and August. The crop and weather were very favorable as a rule and there were few investment orders in evidence. Later in the morning Liverpool lost a portion of the early advance and selling for profits by in siders became something of a feature. Demand from shorts petered out and prices, slowly slipped back ward, reaching a level slightly below yesterday's close soon after the noon hour. For the greater portion of the balance of the day the market was dull and narrow., with nntlmnnt mlYvl rains in the central and portions of the western belt and the forecast was for showers and thunder storms to-night and to-morrow over the eastern and central sections. The market closed dull and steady with prices net un changed to five points higher, having rallied near the close on demand from local shorts and absence of offerings to speak of. Total sales were estimated" at 20,000 bales. N'siw York. July 16. Cotton quiet at 9 5-16c; net receipts bales; gross receipts 1,582 bales ; stock 144.800 bales.

July 16. Grain trading was commonplace to-day when com pared to yesterday's tumultuous fluc tuations. Many conditions were bear ish and early in the day it was expect ed that July corn would take a fur ther drop. This, however, did not occur and the very absence of weak ness caused much comment. In the end the firmness of corn gave rise to the opinion tnat the July corner might not be a thing of the past after all.
