\ I OMFORMG ANODYNE. A'£ED IT WHILE rOTIXG. 'Attorney's Characterization of Parker Constitution Club's Vines. Btury Wi Tift. tv.e well Itr.owa attorney, is one of the 'first liepirolican members of the New york bar to take exception publicly to the asser iio:j of the lawyers who have been a -live in icrvair-g the Constitutional Club, organized to oppose the election of President Roosevelt. In jjfw-Yorfc th<?se lawyers who are Democrats can l>e generally found acting with that party, but t::e fact that coma of them voted for Mc- Kpley m'ght make their charge of opinion have rome significance outside the city and ate if it v.c: unchallenged. That the lawyers do not agree in their interpretation of President Roose velt's note is evident from the following state ment made by Mr. Taft in response to questions zs to his opinion of the Constitutional Club. The Parker Constitutional Club, composed of lawyers «* this city, has Indulged in soma rather looi>e talk ebout tt.e unconstitutionaiity of some executive ai-t3 of President Roosevelt. As Lawyers use the terra, nothing is unconstitutional except that which, the Supreme Court has the power to declare in violation of the Constitution. But it has always baen a favorite oustoni of Democrats ♦a political campaigns to declare unconstitutional every d.scretior.ary legislative or executive act of the oppciing party which waa repugnant to their pclitlcii v;aw of the m^aninff of the Constitution. InetiUiCts of this could b»? multiplied, but it is suf ficient to mention legislation in relation to the pro tective tariff a.nd to ih*; Philippines, which Demo crats continue to ceriount-e as unconstitutional in , apite cf repeated decisions of the Supreme Court to th«* contrary. WVijrht is not to be given, therefore, to con demnation by the Democrats of the Parker Con r nitutiona.l Ciub. on tae ground that as lawyers they r-'gard acts of th<i Republican President as ttr.ccnswtutional, «nd, therefore, iliegal and void. Tbese gentlemen are simply old line Democrats indulging the vain iiope that the party may sud der.:y be brought back to its ancient tmditlons withrr.it poin^ throuph a period of progreasive BiactlScation to wash away its political sins of tie Inn *isht years. In their misleading slogan of — jncocstltutienality" they find a comforting ano dyne to deaden th<»ir «=en.slbiHty while they un dergo the critical operation of voting for a party •which for fig-lit years has stood for financial Just*;y and th« abolition of the Supremo Court of th" rrired State?. The statement published by the club is tOll Of ex plosive expressions, surh as "massing- er.ormoua power la his own hands." "gigantic and ever in twiiinc powers." etc., and after a column of vi tuperation unsupported by a single fact, and even JtEpusnins the motives cf the President, here is -their ridiculous anti-climax: "All this we believe to be so, tout we have not investigated; but when we co investigate . . . we will be perfectly Just to him. and will not accuse him of what he ought not to be accused of. and give him credit for things be deserves credit" for." I look with interest for tlie result of their inves ■tteritiDn. They will find that the President acted apen the most careful advice of the ablest lawyers la th«» la.nd. and in accordance with executive and ftj'iicla! precedents of unquestioned authority. I have carrfully considered the constitutional and ie£a! aspect of the several acts of the President - which are criticised, and I can assert that tht*y are not in any legal or fair sense unconstitutional. They may not be in accordance with the tendencies or governmental th^ori^s of the Democratic party; they were not intended to be; hut they are gener ally the acts of an effective executive who does tiling*. Numerous precedents for executive at?. like those now rritici^ed. will b^ found in the adminis tration of Mr. Cleveland. But there is no dancer that men li** Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Rooi?«velt will disturb the balance of our government by execu tive encroachment. As Chief Justice Marshall said "In a fre« £rvv<>fr.m«T.t, the danger must be re mote. sine« in addition to the high qualities which the executive must be presumed to possess, of • public virtue and honest devotion to the public In terests, the frequency of elections, and th« •a ..• ■ - fulr.egs of the representatives of the nation, carry with them all the checks which can be useful to jruarrl apainst usurpation or wanton tyranny." And while I am on the subject of precedents. I cannot refrain from mentioning the very striking contrast between the effect of executive "encroach ment" of a Democratic administration in the Venezuelan business and of a Republican admin istration in the Panama matter. No more extraor dinary act on the part of an executive can b« found' in the history of this country than tho Venezuelan mrssag-e of Mr. Cleveland. It was no l«ss precipitate than the recognition of the gov • eminent of Panama. It brought the country to the verge of war and plunped it into financial con fusion, from ■.••-'*■ of wfcich it d'd not re cover for a long tim^. In the case of Panama, however, the act of- the President made the con struction of the canal certain, defeated a high Khcne of blackmail cJid added materially to the prospect of the. permanent commercial prosperity V>f this country; and in these results it met with Tiniversal approbation throughout the CGuntry "Anfl 3lrV Ttonsev^lt's "encroachments" have gen .erally been attended with similar results. When the Constitutional Club shall have given the public a bill of particulars it will be time to discuss the merits of tha points which they make. In the mean time, while I respect the gentlemen who are members of this club not only for their Brer*onal character, but also for their lesra.l ability. it is perhaps fair that the public should bq ad monished that while they are entitled to a hear ing as partisan Democrats there is nothing in their pretensions that they are- entitled to be listened to as impartial expounders of the con- Etituucn.

His Supporters Agree Only on the Corcardlin€Bß of His Campaign. L THE PHILIPPINE POLICY. ALL. THE DIFFHRE^CCE Of THE WORLD. From The Evening Post. Wo difference between Judsre Parker's and the President's attitude? There is all the difference between night and day, right and wrong, honor and dishonor. Mr. Parker has Intrenched himself squarely on the most fundamental principles of this republic. a NO DIFFEP.BNCS. From The Tiabw. Judge Parker bel!ev-s that we must grant in dependence "a. 1 soon as it can prudently be done." but he would make the promise "now." That is the only essential distinction between the two candi dates—all the rest is phrasemaklnc and hairsplit ting. HE WOULD. From The Evening- Poet. Every Filipino will know that the day of Ameri can evacuation cannot come a moment too Boon to please the American Executive, and that he will do everything- in his power to hasten that desired consummation. HE WOULDN'T. From The Times. There is nothinft either In his speech or In his letter to Mr. Milbum which would In any other than a heedless anti-imperialist mind lead to the conclusion that were he in the White House he ■would pursue toward our possessions in the Far East a policy different from that pursued by Presi dent Roosevelt.. FOR AX EXCELLENT REASON. From The Timer. We doubt very much indeed whether Judge Parker, were he Installed in the White House and surrounded by wipe Cabinet advisers, would not change his mind about the wisdom of making the promise "now." 11. THE POLICY OF PROTECTION. NO WAVERING ON THE TARIFF. From The Evening Post. If th« Democrats would Appeal to the inthuslasm of tha American people, they must fight as they pray. NO. INDEED: From The Times. They will win do votes by paltering with the subject. This is a year for plain speech. BAILET SCOLDED FOR FRIGHT. From The Evening Poet. One feels one's courage mount high as he de clares: "1 do not hesitate a single moment to declare It as my b<!lef that any law which levies a tax not for th* purpose • i raising revenue to support the government, but for the purpose of compelling- an American citizen to pay more for the goods which he must buy. is a perversion of povernmental power and a downright robbery-" This has the true ring, but immediately it pro duces a great fright in the Senator's mind. AND FOR A GHOSTLY HONOR. From The Times. Senator Bailey began well in that part of his Bro< klyn speech which he devoted to tho tariff. He roved the platform declaration that Dingley ism is "robbery of the many to enrich the few." For a .moment his speech gave promise of laving the real stuff in it. But the old "tariff scare" pho<=t rose before him. Sapping its tattered cere-; ment3, and he instantly turned, as all the half hearted tariff talkers have got into the way of turning, and put himself on the defensive. FLINCHING WONT WIN, From The Ever.ing Post. The people are not going to display any en thusiasm over a p;irty which flinches on tho eve of battle. No apologies tor the Democratic tariff party are needed. NOR A PALSIED HAND. From The Times. If the Democrats really intend to do nothing with the tariff, they ehoud quit talking about it. No voters are convinced, no votes won, by stretch ing forth a palsied hand to point out the abuse* of Dingleyism. RIGHT FROM THE SHOTTLDER. From The Evening Post. Such "Good Lord, good devil" talk will not help the Democratic party in the least. If protection, as Democratic platforms have so repeatedly affirmed, is in its very nature evil, it is a thing to be got rid of as promptly as possible. STOP APOLOGIZING. From The Times. Above all the " warn to get rid of their timid, shrinking, apologizing habit. Let them rid them etlves of the, paralyzing fear that a tariff reform campaign will "disturb business." THE COWARDLY WAVERING EXPLAINED. From The Times. There is no virtue in proclamations of poll in variably accompanied by the neutralizing declara tion t.iat you dor/t mean a word you say. With the perfect frankness of a friend we must n;iy that that was what was the matter with the tariff para graphs of Judge Parker's speech of acceptance. Tht-re was no pledge, no promise, no affirmative declaration of Democratic opposition to the .x- - tlons, the private favors and public outrages of the Dingley tariff. It Is due to the people, said the candidate, "that we should state our position to be In favor of a reasonable reduction of the tariff; that we believe that it is demanded by the best Interests of both manufacturer and consumer." That is the most moderate and conservative way in which a great economic truth could bo stated. Why en, did the Judge temper this already suf ficiently softened averment by pointing out that "we cannot hope to secure a majority In the Sen ate during the next four years, and hence wo shall be unable to secure any modification In the tariff save that to which the Republican majority in the Senate may consent"? In Judge Parker's pppf-oh. as in Senator Bailey's Brooklyn utterance. we find •liscouraginsT evidence of those shivering*, hesitations and cringings that the Republicans have- fairiy scared the Democrats into adopting as a part of "their tariff reform tactics. HEARST FOR SECRETARY OF STATE, one. Sir: In pome cases the President-elect has ap pointed the candidate for the nomination who had the highest vote -to himself Secretary of State. Some have thought that In the event of Mr. Parker's elect! Mr. Hill would have that office: but as he has declared that he will retire from active politics and will not accept any office if— that is a his word in this connection— Parker should be elected, he must look elsewhere for a man for secretary. It would lie only a proper recognition of his competitor In the Demo cratic convention for him to ask William R. Hearst to succeed John Hay. He certainly stands in the relation of "heir presumptive" for the high est : f 1 ,.., a Democratic president ''an bestow. New, York, Aug. 23. 1904. OLD TIMER. COLONEL H. B. vVOOD FOR CONGRESS.

[BY TEXJEGttAi*n TO THE TniBCNB. ) Newport, B. L, Aug. 29.— As a result of a collision last evening In Bellevu«-ave. between a carriage driven by Cornelius Vanderbilt and one occupied by a Newport resident and his wife, the last two were thrown out and somewhat bruised, while both of the carriages were injured. An automobile driven by persons unknown was responsible for the acci dent, but Mr. Vanderbilt to-day made good all dam ages. Hr. Vanderbilt was gobig up the avenue driving a span of horses, and started to turn out from be hind a buggy driven by F. Peckham. As he did so he saw that an automobile was coming at a good speed In the opposite direction, and that unless he turned back he would be struck. It was a choice of being struck or running Into the buggy, and M Vand v rbiit chose the latter, and in turning back -he pole of his team caught in the rear wheel of Mr. Feckuam'a buggy, upsetting it and throw in" Mr and Mrs. Peckham out. Mr. Vanderbilt wls so<in by their side and found that they had suffered no serious injury: and, expressing sorrow at the accident, he told Mr. Peckham to call on him to-day, when li« would make the damage good, which he did.

Ingham's production of the new opera "The Two Roses," at the Opera House to-night, and scored a success of the most pronounced kind.

Against the Proposition to Open an Ex clusively Wagner Theatre Here. Since the Parsifal" excitement last winter fol lowers of Wagner have been considering the open ing- of a theatre In this city, especially for the pro duction of Wagnerian operas. They have not met encouragement from Frail Wagner, -who writes from Eayreuth that she cannot consider the foun dation of any oSshootJ tram that famous op*r% house. _ '"Ai the request 01 inose who were Interested It! a Warner theatre for New-York, ' said Gilbert Ray Hawes, of No. 120 Broadway, who represents the Wagner estate in this country. "I wrote to Frau Wagner, and in detail set before her the plans of the proposed theatre. It was to be built like the Bayreuth establishment, and was to fol low if as closely as possible in other particulars. The auditorium was to be dark during the opera and applause prohibited. Another idea was to enter into some, arrangement whereby original cos tumes and music could be secured for use here. "Frau Wagner replies that she cannot consider any such proposition for several reasons. In the first place she has her hands full at Bayr«»ath. and can undertake no greater responsibilities. Then, too, she doubts if there is sufficient Wagner in terest in New- York to make a success of alheatre devoted exclusively to his music." WANAMAKEB TO BUILD COLLEGE?
