Great Historic Event at Kansas City. INDEPENDENCE DECEASED, Democrats Reaffirm Charter of Human Liberty. THE PBDSrOIPLES OF JEPFEESON. Political Descendants of the Father nf Democracy "Will Maintain Them Agai 'Mt the Force? of Imperial ism. Bryana Fitting: Successor to the Im? mortal Jefferson-He Needs No PZat ?orm; He Stands For Justice-Rep? resentative Government Brought Into Disrepute by McKinley-Civil Service Pensions - Roosevelt and Platt. [Special Washington Letter.] The great historic event at Kansas City July 4 is a fit companion piece to the great historic event at Philadelphia July 4,1776. On the latter date the Magna Charta of human liberty, written by tho fa? ther of the Democratic party, was pro? claimed to all the world. On the former date the political de? scendants of that man met at Kansas City to take counsel together to pre? sent the principles enunciated in that famous state paper-the most famous ever traced by uninspired pen-from perishing from the earth, for if the Democrats do not preserve the ideas contained in the Declaration of Inde? pendence they will not be preserved at i alL Therefore it is eminently meet and proper that the Democratic convention should meet in this year of grace on the glorious Fourth, and as the repub? lic itself sprang from the meeting at Philadelphia let us hope that the things done and the forces set in motion at Kansas City will save this great people from imperialism and all the curses therein contained. Imperialists mouth a good deal be? cause we set our convention for the Fourth of July. St. Jefferson's day. but our reply to that is, "The better the day the better the deed," and surely there can be no better day for the re? vival of patriotism and genuine robust Americanism which we are inaugurat? ing and which will sweep the country from sea to sea. A Democrat made the day immortal. Certainly Deniccrats have a right to use the sentiment appertaining thereto for the salvation of their country. Jefferson and Bryan are a century apart in time. They are twins in theo? ries of government. Both are great tribunes of the people. Jefferson and Bryan. In his day Jefferson was compelled i to fight monarchists. Bryan is now do? ing the same. Jefferson was abused as a dema? gogue, mountebank and anarchist. He is now universally conceded to have been the profoundest philosopher that ever devoted his life to statesmanship. Bryan is now denounced, as was his great exemplar, as a demagogue, moun? tebank and anarchist. The historian of our times will place him in the front rank of statesmen and patriots. Jefferson and Bryan each exerts vast influence over their countrymen. Jef? ferson was not an orator. He depend? ed entirely upon the pen for the dis? semination of his ideas. Bryan is the greatest living orator, perhaps the greatest that ever lived. Nevertheless he is also "cunning with his pen," as old John Adams declared Jefferson to i be. Thc- proverb "A constant dropping will wear the hardest stone away" ex? plains to a large extent the widespread influence of these two men. Jefferson never rested. Bryan never rests. Each is* an exemplification of perpetual mo? tion. Each is a zealot in the cause of Luman liberty, and each came to be supreme in his party. In Jefferson's day his party swallow? ed all other parties, as Aaron's rod swallowed the other rods, and an "era j of good feeling" ensued. Under the I leadership of Bryan that remarkable performance in politics will be dupli? cated. There have been many other great! Democrats whose fame is part of the priceless treasures of the republic and whose names should never be mention? ed save with reverence and with grati? tude to Almighty Uod for such stal? wart friends of freedom, but if every word written and spoken by all others should perish from human memory from the writings of Jefferson and the speeches of Bryan we may obtain ev? ery iota of the Democratic creed and every argument necessary to support our confession of political faith in any forum of the world. Jefferson, with wisdom, courage, pre? science aud patriotism unequaled, made the Louisiana purchase, the most stupendous transaction in real estate proposed on this earth since the devil took the Saviour to the top of a high mountain and offered him the domin? ion of the world to fall down and wor? ship him. Principle? Reproelalmed. It is entirely in keeping with the eternal fitness of things that on the one hundred and twenty-fourth anni? versary of Jefferson's flay Jefferson's party should assemble in the heart of the vast domain which he added to the Union, the richest under heaven, to re proHaim his principles and to uomi nair a successor \Viio will once m make those principles paramount the conduct of the government. At Kansas City the unities aro j served and the names ol* Jefferson s l?ryan indissolubly linked together. Each leaped into the circle of the '. mortals at an early age. Jefferson ing only 30 when he wrote the gr Declaration, which will be tvad w rapture as long as the earth revol? upon its axis or slides down thc eel tic. and Bryan being only 30 when that astounding speech before the G cago convention he not only snatel the presidential nomination from 1 renowned ' veterans of his party. 1 also wrote his name on the scanty 1 of really great orators. Jefferson was defeated in 179t". ele ed in ISOn. re-elected in 1S04 and lt the government in the hands of his ] litical friends for half a century. Bi an was defeated in 1S?X*. and, histc repeating itself, he will be elected 1900. re-elected in 1004 and will tr?i mit the government to a long line successors of his political faith-o political faith-the people's politic faith-a consummation devoutly to wished. Candidate and Platform. A great controversy is raging arno: certain sapient editors as to which h the more farreaching influence in ct rying a presidential election, the oan< date or the platform. Nobody can te because nobody knows and because is sometimes one, sometimes the oth and sometimes neither. For instanc in 1S40 neither candidate nor platfor had much to do with the result. The had been a panic, and in a delirium t] people sang General William Hen: Harrison into the White House with lot of doggerel which has created a tonishment and merriment ever sine In 1S44 the platform, or. more proper speaking, a letter written by Hem Clay, gave the victory to James 1 Polk. In 184S General Taylor's mi! tary prestige and a split in the Dem eratic party crowned the hero of Buer Vista with the greatest civic honor Nobody paid any attention to the pla form. Nobody knew what Taylor opinions were on political question Indeed he did not know himself, bi he had walloped the Mexicans in most astounding manner, he was niel named "Old Rough and Ready," fetching sobriquet, and sly Martin Va Buren out of revenge deftly inserte his poisoned dagger under the fifth ri of the ponderous General Cass. I 1S52 the platform was the chief thin which enabled Brigadier Frankli Pierce to snatch the coveted pri2 from Lieutenant General Winfiel Scott, the hero of Lundy's Lane. Chun busco and a score of stricken field: In 1S60 the platforms were everything the candidates nothing except as expc nents of the platform. In 18S4 the ? suit came of the malice of Rosco Conkling and the alliteration of Parso Burchard. Jackson was elected in 1S2 by reason of his matchless achiev( ment at New Orleans and re-elected i 1S32 because he stood for the rights o "the plain people," as Lincoln denom nated them: "the common people," a Bryan loves to call them. In neithe case did he need any platform save hi own record, and I doubt whether anv body paid the least attention to th platform. The cry was "Hurrah fo Jackson!" and it was irresistible. I; at least Laif the cases presidents h av been elected by vis inertia?- "Thing are all right, let them alone." Une curious result of Martin Van Bu ron's caper in 1S4S was that the nam* of Van Kuren county in Missouri wa: changed to Cass and that of Kinder hook to Benton. Missourians take pol ities seriously and never fail t<> punisl infidelity to the party. A man in Mis souri could no more duplicate the re cent somersaults of Hon. Joseph c Sibley of Pennsylvania than he coule fly. Attempting that role a Missouriai would have to "begin at the foot of tia class and spell up" for 20 years. In the present instance Bryan needi no platform. He is a platform in him? self. Everybody knows what he stands for and for that very reason will clod him with a whoop. In electing hin: they know precisely what they are get ting. They are not buying a pig in a poke. They also know he will do what he says, for while the average citizen may not be able to talk the jargon o? physiognomy he judges men "by their flesh marks," and no man ever gazed into Bryan's handsome face and beheld his high bridge nose, his magnificent eyes and his square underjaw without knowing that he possesses incorrupti? ble honesty, leonine courage and un? conquerable resolve. Hence they trust him; hence he needs no platform. AN to Traitors. Old King David once exclaimed An his wrath, "All men are liars!" If he were on earth again and should read divers and sundry Republican newspapers, he could with perfect truth and in high good humor say, "Many men are liars." These pestiferous organ grinders and slanderers for revenue only declare day after day by the He direct or the lie oblique that all who are opposing the McHanna policy of imperialism are traitors. Such men as Bryan, Hoar, Schurz. George S. Boutwell, Mason, John B. Henderson. Teller and a host of other Republicans of distinction op? pose it tooth and nail, thus bringing upon themselves the abuse of these base maligners because they love their country hotter than their party. Nearly all the original leaders of the Republican party are In their graves, in retirement or in revolt. No wonder they kick because the acts of injustice committed by the McHanna adminis? tration are piled ujKm each other like Pelion upon Oss.-i. till they cry to heav? en for redress -injustice to the cohfid I lng Porto Ricans, who welcomed the j American army with songs of gladness ! on their lips, who strewed the pathway ! of our soldiers with flowers and who j hailed OM Glory as the emblem of free I dom and equality; injustice to the Cu ? ban patriots who fought as valiantly for their liberties as oar fathers fought at Lexington. Hunker Hill. King's Mountain. Eulah. Yorktown or New ?rlVaris: injustice to the Filipinos, who fought side by side with American sol? diers to tear their sim kissed archipela? go from the iron grasp ol' Spain: Fhjus tiee to tho brave and heroic Roers, who modeled their governments upon ours and who aro battling; men. women and children, for ail tho human heart holds , dear with courage, fortitr.de and self abnegation rarely equaled and never j surpassed, but above all injustice, rank j injustice, to the American people, who in a moment of temporary mental aber- j ration gave into their unfaithful hands i and itching palms the mighty and mul? tifarious powers of the most puissant government the sun has looked down upon since the world began. McKinley's Dna! Role. As far as in him lies William McKin? ley has brought representative govern? ment into disrepute by endeavoring to play the dual role of president of the United States and emperor ol' the Phil? ippine islands. But his days in the White Ii ouse are numbered. Ile sees the handwriting on the wall. With foresight which is commendable he is remodeling, refitting and enlarging his Canton cottage. That is perhaps the wisest act of his life, as he will have pressing need for it after high noon, March 4. 1901, when Bryan will be in? augurated, ushering in the twentieth century, as the nineteenth was ushered in. with a Democratic administration. Civil Service Penwion*. Even such a valiant thick and thin organ grinder as the New York Trib? une has found something in Republic? an doings which causes its gorge to rise, which is most remarkable, unless Mr. Whitelaw Reid is raising a gentle rumpus for the purpose of reminding Brother McKinley that it is about time to pass the pie toward The Tribune of? fice once more. However that may be, The Tribune is kicking vigorously about the project to pension those hold? ing places under the New York civil service law after 25 years' service. The Tribune says that these would be pen? sioners have formed a society or close corporation and purpose to enter poli? tics as a flying squadron of pie hunters, voting for those who will agree to raise their wages and grant them pensions and against those who refuse so to do. The paper founded by Horace Greeley denounces them as public enemies, de? clares that there are now 3,500 of them, soon to be increased to GO.OOO, and pro? nounces their movements to be alto? gether reprehensible. Now. there never was a man with two ideas above a mud turtle who did not know that the civil service system inevitably leads to a pension list from the civil walks of life, and yet The Tribune, which now denounces these people for doing what everybody knew they would do. is a thick and thin sup? porter of the system and a loud shouter for Colonel "Teddy" Roosevelt, who is facile princeps of civil service reform? ers, provided he can reform his politi? cal friends into good fat offices. The Tribune may howl as much as it pleases now. lt is too late. Mr. 11 ern m i n?w ay of Indiana declar? ed boldly and unequivocally on the floor of the house that 10 per cent of ali the clerical force in Washington is in? capacitated by reason of the infirmities of old rge from doini: any work what? soever, and yet they draw their salaries regularly, and nobody has choked off one of them, though Ilemmingway said that months ago. So The Tribune in? stead of howling about one feature-an inevitable feature-of a bad system which it helped to inaugurate had bet? ter study up the whole question anew, go back to original principles and fight the winde system. Platt the F.asy ROM?. The one Republican in the United States who really deserves to be con? gratulated on the outcome of the Phila? delphia convention is Hon. Thomas C. Platt, senior senator and easy boss of New York. He had a broken rib, but nevertheless his headpiece appears to have been all right. He fought Mark Hanna and routed him. unloading Colo? nel Theodore Roosevelt on to the na? tional ticket. He did not make sure of electing the RepHblican state ticket by eliminating "Teddy" as a gubernatorial possibility, but he did undoubtedly im? prove the chances of doing that trick very much indeed. With Roosevelt as candidate for jrovernor the Democrats would probably have elected their state ticket by ?"O.OOO majority. With some other candidate the Democratic major? ity will probably be cut to 20.000. Un? less all signs of rain fail in dry weath? er the Democrats will elect their state ticket. And what of Colonel Roosevelt? There is no question but what he will make an aggressive, whoop *em tip, picturesque campaign. If he wins, he will be shelved, the thing which would please Platt. If he loses, he is a politi? cal "has been," to borrow a term ex? pressive if not elegant from the prize ring, which would please Platt still more. So Platt stands to get rid of his young old man of the sea. So I repeat that Senator Thomas G. Platt is to be congratulated and he alone. Perhaps the Republican platform is the most Impudent document ever is? sued for the perusal of an intelligent people. The idea of that trust ridden convention even pretending in a milk and eider resolution to condemn trusts was an exhibition of gall never equal? ed on this earth. The claim that Re? publicans have secured honest officials in Cuba is humor broad enough to ex rite the risibles of ali the convicts in til the penitentiaries under the sun. We? Trained.

Where a good quality of satin cannot be afforded it is best not to have satin at all, but to choose crepe de chine, which is far less expensive and really more becoming. A picture is given of an evening gown of black lace over colored satin. The skirt is plaited, the bodice plain at the back and draped in front. A chou of black velvet is fastened at the side of the decolletage by a buckle of brilliants, and the velvet belt is also fastened by a bow and buckle, long ends of the ribbon falling upon the skirt. Piquets of flowers are placed across the shoulders, and a black velvet bow is worn in the hair. JUDIC CHOLLET. ^CONDENSED SCHEDULE. In effect Mav 27tb, 1900. SOUTH.
