IT PUT ITS FOOT IS It- -i- It was remarked of old that a man seea many, stranges things -when he hasu't got t gut, In North Carolina -we have lived to see the Democratic exe cutive committee make a platform mid wjKbetween two " conventions and pass ovVthe'wbrd that nobody mast benomi nffigrt for President' or Congress onless Ke stands '.upon Jit. ' People, -of 7 "all shades of opinion" . are called upon to rally to the platform which is an im plied -pledge that "they may; vote the -, ticket, but the whole world is pnt upon : notice that.- Democrats of ".only one -shade of opinion are to be. put on the 'ticket if the. State executive committee - can: help It.' . And yet. we are told that there is nothing out of the common in this out-giving of the committee! We are amazed at this declaration of the Raleigh News and Observer: ' : It is the duty of the" executive com mittee to adopt such - methods as it deems proper to carry out the .decrees of the conventions If the - members deemed it necessary to pass the resolu tions, it was their duty to, do so. - We have read them carefully, and ; we find them to be in direct accord . with, the Democratic State platform of .1894. .There Is no other -method of determin ing the position of the party in North Carolina until another State convention it held. . It is evident that the News and Ob server has not read the resolutions care fully at all or it would never have said that they were Vin direct accord with the Democratic State platform of 18iM." unere is no mnt in tne ptatrorm at a boycott of, sound money Democrats. 'And again 'we are told that "there is , no other method - of deter mining the position of the party in North Carolina until another State con : vention is held." "Who has any bust ness undertaking to determine the posi tion of the party, until another State convention is held? What was the oc casion for it, anyhow? there is to be no election until after another convention It was a clear usurpation by the com mittee, of powers which belong only to a convention, and its members and the friends would do well to acknowledge it frankly, now that they must see that they have over-stepped all proper bounds. THE PASSING OF 8UPEBINTKNDENT BYKNE8. v Chief of Police Byrnes has been re tired to private life from the head of the New York police department with ; a pension of $3,000 a. year. Judging from the evidence taken in the Lexow commission investigation, the Chief had not neglected any opportunities by reason of his position to feather -his own nest, although it could not be proven as in the case of all the other police officers tried, that he had re- sorted to dishonest methods. lie got tips from high flyers, whom he had . aided, as to how he could add to his amount in bank -by speculation, : and he made use of the advice given. This was not absolutely dishonest, but if he had not been chief of police he ' could never have made anything in stock and bond dealing, and he sank in the estimation of the people of New Tork when the facts were made known With what he has accumulated and his $3,000 annual pension, he ought to ,be well fixed for the remainder of his days. lie was a remarkable man, peculiarly fitted by temperament, training and long Service for the responsible place t which he so long filled. His knowledge ' of New York crime and criminals was , wonderful, and he achieved a certain degree of success. But he must have winked at the looseness and crime in his subordinates, for the whole police system of the ereat metropolis could not have been so honey-combed with corruption without its chief head hav ing some knowledge of it. Superinten dent Byrnes doubtless thought the sys tern an irremediable evil, and did the best he could under the circumstances without attempting to better it. But the world likes positive and aggressive . men and men ,j)f moral courage, and Byrnes was not one of them. And so men will note the factof his retirement .without expressing any- regrets, and then begin, to speculate upon the chances of success of Mr. Roosevelt and his police commissioners in therefor t mation of the 'cops." i. This ia positively the last appearance by - us in any - defense of Secretary .

No more t imposing spectacle has been witnessed. since the last presiden tial inauguration, though the sadness of the occasion naturally dimmed its lustre and the crowds were mute and reverent. At 9:30 . m. the body, which had lain in state last evening in the parlor of the apartments inthe Arlington annex which the Secretary n&a occupied aunng uie, was removed from that resting place to the ereat East room of the White House. It was preceded by . ; sucb - a tribute of Sowers as even Washington, the city of flowers, has seldom witnessed. -.. - . The arrangements awaited the arrival of the President and his cabinet, -who came with military promptitude. -The military forces consisted of tour troops of the Sixth Cavalry from; 'Fort Myer, Va., five -companies of - artillery from the Washington barracks, - and the Ma rine Corps, under Col.

Mr. Kurino. and his suite were the first td arrfve-Jand they were seated in the space devoted to the diplomatic corps at the: foot of the casket. About half past 8 'o'clock, the drive-way in front of the East entrance to the mansion was throDged with the carriages of the: arrivals, tand by the time, the casket reached the 5 White House every seat except those reserved for tne President and ; cabinet was filled. - i : It was ten minutes of 10 o'clock when the funeral party j reached .the White House, and the short wait' until the services began was most impressive Atone end of tne room, made into a living garden by its palms and olean ders and other growing plants, was the casket, surrounded by the many trib utes of friends and associates of the late Secretary. Around it was gather ed representatives of the foreign na tions with which the United States maintains diplomatic relations, nearly all in uniforms of brilliant hue, marked and slashed with thick bands of gold lace. Prominent; among these were three of the four ambassadors accredit ed to the UnitedStates and with them were their wives. The - justices of the Supreme Court sat at the side of the : coffin opposite tbe ambassadors. . The Supreme Uourt circle was composed of Chief Justice and Mrs. Fuller Justice Sbiras, Justice Field, Justice and Mrs. Gray.

Exactly at 10 o'clock the services be gan. A minute or two before that hour Col. John M. Wilson, master of cere monies, notife i the President that all was ready and then led the way from the Blue room to the East room. Im mediately behind htm came the Presi dent-with Mrs. Cleveland leaning ouhis arm, becomingly attired in a mourning gown of crepon. The members of the cabinet and their ladies followed in the order of their official precedence Sec retary and Mrs. Carlisle, Secretary and Mrs. Lamont, Attorney : General and Mrs. "Olney, Postmaster; General and Mrs. Wilson, Secretary and Mrs. Mor too, with Secretary Herbert,-Secretary Smith and Acting Secretary "UW bring ing up the rear.

Nearly all present passed round tbe casket, which was not closed- until the last person who so de sired had viewed, the remains. At 11 o'clock the services were concluded and the last look at the dead Secretary taken. The hearse drove up and a bugle caii rrom toe avenue signalled the troops to fall into line..

It .was' almost noon when the President and cabinet reached the depot and embarked, Mr. Cleveland plainly showed the effect of his recent illness. His face was flushed and heated and as be stood with bowed head the perspira tion streamed down his f ace. -. Although nothing had been said about it, it was noticed that Dr. O'Ueilly at tended the President and went to Chi cago with the party. It was given out that this was done on - Mrs.' Gresham's account, but it is believed that the con ditiou of the President himself had as much to do with the presence of tbe doctor as anvtbine else. In addition to Minister Romero, of Mexico, Minister Mendonca, of Brazil, also formed one of the funeral escort. No representatives of the press - were permitted ' on board the train."

Some Who Look Beyond the Tide of Pres- - en t Prosperity See Distant Storms. Correspondence of the Observer. ; -'. WAsnrsaTOir. May 20. The silver "Democrats who think as they boom along on the tide of prosperity have some fears that their side may not al ways secure victories. They dread the thoughtless ard extreme element in their own faction. One of these thoughtful silver Democrats said to me to-day; "I believe free coinage is right jrnd will prevail in the end. It fs for tunate, perhaps, that the Republicans, and not our own party, will be called on to take action next winter in Con- gressT It will be amusing to see what thev will make of it. Some of our own people may. however, iro too far and in the compromise, if there ia one, the sil ver wing may lose some- advantage. This whole question, in my mind, as a political one. is something Uko this Shall the very rich run the 'financial system of the country, or shall the other Deoole. moderately riett, intelli gent, small-propertied and respectable poor, be permitted to control? Of course I do-not believe -in appeals to class interests or the employment of ad eaotandum .arguments, but the appeal is made by the other side and we are simnlv on the defensive. I - had to use a little argument In New York the other day which may sound like an ap peal to popular prejudice. A certain Prominent Democrat dined with our parly. - He tried to draw me out. I kept thinking how I would silence him. At last I hit on this scheme: He was present! or the absurdity of the sil ver contentfon. I listened and said nothing. But I saw he expected me to sav something. "I agree, with you en tirely," I observed. "All you say is conclusive. It is precisely the line of argument am English "mono-metairist would address to an American to serve his own the Englishman's best inter ests." He was astounded. Looking at me Quizzically, he mumbled something which was not a logical reply and left me as soon as possible. OSE TERM FOR PRESIDENT. A leading Democrat echoes a senti ment often- heard of late years, now more than ever: I think what so many eminent Democrats, some of them Presir dents in their first term, have said about the impolicy of more than one term of the presidency for one man is true, and should have wider acceptance. The lime has come for the sentiment, which is a talisman of Democracy; to save it ' from harm i a. times of trouble, to be in corporated into the constitution. Ad vocate it in the Chablottf. Obsekvkb. You could not, in my judgment, give the space to a better cause." Senator Ransom once told me that he thought a four years term of the presidency enough, at least until one term inter vened before a second. He opposea a long single term, such as used to be the favorite idea of publicists who objected to re-elections, saying that the lour-year term was the happiest solution of the matter.

The ride terminated at:2.o'clock at the expo sition grounds, where' for the past 24 ' hours Such - a - barbecue as has been seldom seen even in Georgia, the home of tbe cue, bad been roasting over the long pits. The tables groaned under loads of barbecued lamb, shoat and beef, 'chickens, ducks and all the accompaniments at a first-class cue. Many of the correspondents had never before seen a barbecue cooked, and watched with interest the process by which Sheriff?
