Parker, Davis and Gold. Mr. Davis' indorsement of the acoid stand ard in his speech of acceptance has occa stoned but little comment. It was expected, and, therefore, has been received as a mat ter of course. It was known that he had twice voted for Mr. Bryan. but everybody understood that he had done so only for regularity's sake. As a business man of large credit and connections to the east how could he have supported Bryanism for any other reason? As a member of the plat form committee he participated at St. Louis in the debate over the financial question, and aquiesced in the silence that the com mittee. by a vote of 35 to 15, adopted. Then came his nomination for Vi," Presi lent. .and his silence about that silence until it was broken at White Sulphur Springs thir ty days later. This was the plan of Hill and Sheehan and Belmont with respect to Judge Parker. They assumed that everybody knew, as they did, his views respecting the gold standard; that he had voted for Mr. Bryan only for regularity's sake. So they pressed his case, with due regard for the feelings of the Bryan people, and argued among them selves that it would be time enough for Judge Parker to say a word as to his pres ent money views when he came to his for mal acceptance of the nomination. By that time, as they reasoned. both Bryanites and Clevelandites would be in good humor over the agreement reached, and Judge Parker's declaration for the gold standard would be received as a matter of course. But the New York Evening Post, speak ing the Friday afternoon after the action of the convention on the money question. and the Sun. Times and World, speaking the next morning. upset the apple cart. Silence for a single day, they told Judge Parker. would be fatal to his candidacy. As matters stood. the nomination was worthless. The independents and the Cleveland democrats of the east would spurn such an attempt to creep into power shod with gum. The gold standard, they asserted, was not only a fixed fact, but the most acceptable fact in the affairs of the country: and he must say so and force the convention to say so. What followed we all know. Judge Par ker's hand on the money question was forced by those newspapers. They put him on record several weeks in advance of the plan of Hill and Sheehan and Belmont, and for a few days made him the principal figure of a most complimentary hullabaloo. Would it have been better for him in the end to have played the game of his man agers? Smashing Russia's Sea Power. Japan keeps up to the mark on the sea. The destruction of the cruiser Novik off the coast of Sakhalin Island. north of Vladivostok. shows that the Japanese ad mirals are determined to reduce Russia's sea power in the far east to the lowest possible point. This ship was a member of the Port Arthur squadron that attempted a sortie a few days ago and then scattered. Some of these vessels, it will be remem bered. put hack to Port Arthur, some ran to Shanghai and one to Chefoo. It is claimed that one or two were sunk. The Novik, after calling at Tsingtau. skirted the Japanese Islands on the south and east and tried to make port at Vladivostok. But it is clear that she could not shake off the Japanese cruisers, although she had a higher speed rate, and doubtless owed her initial salvation to that fact. The dis patches show that the Japanese cruisers caught up with the Novik at sea, and that a five hours' running fight ensued, with the result of the beaching of the Russian ship much after the fashion of the Spanish ves sels of Cervera's squadron on leaving San tiago. The loss of the Novik is a serious blow to Russia. and advances materially the day when Japan can proclaim to the world that she has destroyed the naval forces of the czar in asian waters. When that day comes Japan will be in a position to concentrate her sea power upon Vladi vostok. Much, however, depends upon the date at which Japan can safely withdraw her entire naval force from the Yellow sea and its approaches for a sea attack upon the northern Russian city, for the ice will form in Vladivostok bay in a couple of months, and by November 1 at the latest naval operations in that vicinity will be hazardous, if not impossible. But with ice free harbors unmenaced by the enemy Ja pan can in that case proceed to repair her vessels at comparative leisure, meanwhile keeping an eye out for the long-heralded Baltic sea fleet, if it ever does really start for the fatr east. General Miles has reciprocated the com pliments bwstowed on his remarks declin ing the prohibition nomination by express ing his ap)proval of Judge Parker's speech of acceptance. On the whole it is a very polite campaign. If the report that the male child of a peasant was substituted for a girl born in the palace is true, the Russian peasantry has a new t'juse' for protest. China's Neutrality. Whmile Japan's positi.,m with regaird to the use of t'hina's po.rts by Russia., ships as harbors of refuge is stated in a& reasonable spirit there is grave danger in any general application of the~ underlying prilnciple as attestedl by the Japanese action ini the case of the Ryeahitelnj. Japan co,nt,'nds that she is willing to continue to observe the neutrality of China, as she agreedi at the outset of the war. She claims that she has steadfastly respected the rights of other nations and has lived up to her agreement, but urges that Russia has not done so, pointing to the persistent use of Chefoa as a wireless telegraph station by Russia against the Japanese protests. Thus Japan's position is that China has not h?rseif been neutral, but has been. used by RIussia. In other words. Chetoo had ceas..d to be a neutral port within the meaning of the original agreement, and. therefore, Japan had a right to enter that nharbor as a belliger'ent and capture a ship of the ene my. l''urthermore, Japan claims thatt the Ryeshitelni was not in fact disarmed, but was in full readiness for fighting. .so far as her general condition permitted. Japan claims that Chefoo had been ren dered legitimate war territory oy virtue of the failure of China to force Iizusia .to re spect the neutral character of the barbor. This may be true, but it is also true that Japan had no right to proclaim her decision by an act of force that might readily have precipitated a desctuc tive confict within the harbor andi ..ndan gered the property and lives of neutrals. If Japan had decided that Chefoo was fair fighting ground, the world was entitled to as full a notice of the fact as it had re ceived that all Chines. territory was to be respected as metral. was not disarmed, that is onfronted by the 'assertion of her cmmander that she was disarmed. Thus all the world has to judge from is the contradiction of state ments by the interested parties. If Japan had reason to suspect that the Ryeshiteini was not disarmed, she could easily have proved the fact by securing her Inspection in the light of day by Chinese officials in the presence of unorejudiced witnesses, meanwhile preventing her escape by main taining a guard over her. If, thea, it had been proved that the destroyer was armed and fit for service Japan would have had some ground-far more than she had in the fact-for seizing her as a legitimate prey of war. Yet not even this discovery would have warranted Japan's conducting a fight within the neutral harbor without giving fair notice to the world of her purpose to do so. In this case, as in that at. Shanghai, Japan owed far more to the neutral pow ers other than China than to China herself, and more to China than to Russia. If China is weak in this crisis, if she is treach erous to her protestations of neutrality, if she is indifferent to the requirements of her position as guardian of the prop.ir:y of Deu trals, there are better ways of maintaining peace by other than Chinese agenci3r than by the conversion of her port into fighting ground. The action of the United States commander at Shanghai in thrustiag an American vessel between a Japanese de stroyer and a partly disabled Russian cruis er, in order to protect a million dollars' worth of American property, is wholly jus tified as an act of precaution and should help to restore the vexed question of China's neutrality to a safe basis for wise settlement. No Federal Troops for Colorado. The effort of the labor unions in Colorado to force the United States government to take a hand in the troubles in that state by way of a federal injunction will prob ably come to naught. The object of the application to the United States district court for a writ to prevent the closing of the so-called "union store" is entirely too plain to warrant the government in blindly following a refusal to obey it with the dis patch of troops Into the state. The federal courts cannot be used to such ends. There are two ways to invoke the aid of the gov ernment when the state's powers are ex hausted, one by direct request of the gov ernor, and the other by a vote of the legis lature. Thus far neither has expressed its will that the federal forces supervene those of the state. Beyond the will of the state, thus expressed, the United States govern ment can intervene on its own initiative if its rights are placed in jeopardy through the Inability of the state's own agencies to protect them. Thus, in the Chicago riots the mails were stopped through the activ ity of the strikers and the federal trops and the United States not only had a per fect right to send troops into Illinoi.s, even though the governor remained inactive, but was compelled to do so. It is now suggested that a situatln simi lar to that at Chicago would be created by the issue of a federal writ and As violation by one side or the other. This is quite contrary to the fact. The Unitel States has 'no Interest whatever In the object of the injunction. It Is, Indeed, exceedingly doubtful If any federal court would enter tain a motion praying for its issunnce; Even if a federal judge were to issue it and it were violated there would still be no compulsion on the part of the United States to enforce it by federal troops. It is neces sary in these matters to look beyond the bare text of the writ or the fact of its existence to the circumstances ':o ascertain their bearing upon the federal rights and duties. The situation in Colorado is undenia.bly deplorable and It is a travesty on state government that it has continued for so long. Thus far the governor has preserved only a fair degree of peace, and :he tle ments of disorder are clearly In evidence in many places. But it is wholly a state affair and It is no business of the United States. If the production of any commodity of general public need were affected by the strikes and deadlocks, as was the case in the coal strike, there would be warrant for federal activity in attempting to persuade the two parties to agree, but even then there would be no basis for an actual in tervention, just as there was no law to enable the President in 1902 to force the miners and operatora to adjust their dif ferences. There is in this Colorado case not even that excuse for federal interest, and the situation must remain where It is until it is settled by the agencies for law and order now established In Colorado. That It will be soon resolved to a condi tion of permanent peace is the hope of every citisen who holds the ideal of good government above factidnal or class preju dices. Xurphy and XeCarren. Now that they are disposed to be frant with the public about each other. Mr. Mur phy and Mr. McCarren ought to be encour aged to make their disclosures complete. They are old acquaintances, and mony a canty day. John, they've had with one anither. Each Is prepared to speak by the card. Each, we may be sure, has a good memory. " Pat" knows "Charley," and "Charley" knows 'Pat." Let us hear fully from each about the other. The country is interested, and has a right .to the in formation. There is more at stake than the Parker campaign-much moi-e. There will be cakes and ale in New York-arter November. Mr. Murphy has greatly -ex cited curiosity by the statement that Can ada is the proper place of residence for Mr. McCarren, and the latter promptly de mands particulars. The South American republics fail to ap preciate their advantage under this mod ern and enlightened system, In olden times a government as powerful as that of the United States would have compelled them to pay all kinds of tribute instead of mere ly requesting them to behave themselves. Sir Thomas Lipton is going to challenge again, but Mr. Tom Lawson is too busy with his literary ambitions to take much interest this time. it is a significant fact that the Filipinos themselves are not filing any extensive petitions for the right of immediate self .government. No matter which candidate is elected, Wall street may expect to be held largely responsible by the disappointed party. Mr. Tom Watson's publishers no doubt regard his persistence in keeping before the public with entire approval. The Russians decline to surrender In spite of the fact that the Japanese have never been caught bluffing. Russia can hardly expect to prolong the war until It has time to build a brand-new navy. Disaster. Although stricken sorely by the cyclone which tore through it Saturday night, the city of St. Paul may feel that it is fortunate in escaping with so slight a property loss and the death of so few persons. Those who have witnessed these giant storms in action testify to their unparalleled force and fury. There are numerous records of their re sistless power, and wrecked towns and devastated rural districts are to be reeed in scores of cases. That a stems of the charaeter iadicated by the disptehen should sweep through so d.y~ huit a city as St. Paul adin eI1oy twelse peopie -da -nne sa -'a -.a. R4Ama ...sh og pperty is rgoar a marve, 1e t3sl whieh can be -ocafsoe in a ebtgested place by a territ c. wind storm Is beyond easy calculation. There is little thought o the vast value exposed to the fury of the gale until after one of these giants of the air strikes. In these days of tall building' and costly constructions and close habita tion a disaster such as that at St. Paul proves to be is really of small consequence however distressing it is. A few decadee ago such a happening would stand as a nine days' wonder throughout the country But now the story of frightful catastrophe' is so nearly continuous that it requires a death list of many hundreds to arouse keer public concern. In point of comparison, Saturday night's casualty list in St. Paul if not much beyond the range of the average railroad accident, barring the property loss The truth is that we in this country are growing callous to these horrors. We take desperate chances in our building, in our railroading, in our steamboating, in our business and pleasures, and are accepting the inevitable consequences with a .calm philosophy that augurs ill for the future. Of course, the cyclone in St. Paul re flects discredit. upon nobody. It servee merely to point to the general state of feeling toward shocking happenings. Wher the Slocum burned and one thousand people were destroyed the country ex pressed its fierce Indignation that sue things could happen in the face of the laws. But wait until next winter, wher Congress Is in session, and see what in fluence that wave of public anger and de termination will have upon the statutes That is the test. In point of fact, the United States is suffering today from toc many accidents and an inability to read their lessons. It is now claimed that the English spar row is responsible for the mosquito pest, inasmuch as he scares away the other birds that feed on Inspects of that class. The man who first suggested the importa tion of the English sparrow has much to answer for. The relations tetween the rival candi dates of the two great parties are mild and amicable as compared with those which ex ist between Messrs. Murphy and McCarren. A number of men who were active In the Palmer-Buckner campaign will fall to see why they are so studiously disregarded by the democrats i is summer. If the country needs- Judge Parker as much as some of his admirers declare, It is rather heartless of him to limit himself to one term. The difficulty about China's neutrality lies in the Impossibility of getting all the natives thoroughly informed as to the ex istence and obligations of such a condition. Mr. Bryan can keep silent, but he can not undertake to call off his old populist associates when they are oratorically in clined. When Tsi An contemplates the graft that flourishes In China she almost longs for grand juries and freedom of the press. SHOOTING STABS. Entertaining. "Do you expect to entertain next winter?" "Well," answered Mr. Cumrox; " 'enter taining' is what mother and the girls will call it. But whenever I say anything that seems to really amuse the company, their harsh looks are something fearful." Lofty Ambition. "It is your duty," said the earnest man, "to assist in leading the world to higher things." "Well," answered the beef-packer; "am I not doing my best?

Many persons who are aroused by the horror of a Georgia lynching will fail tc grasp the seriousness of the mob rule In the Cripple Creek district of Colorado. and yet while the proceedings on Saturday nighi were not accompanied by butchery or butrn. ing or the detestable savagery of the receni Georgia lynching, It may be qutestioned whether the Colorado doings are not more serious than the Georgia burning. horrible and degrading though It was. [a Georgia a mob of hot-headed persons committed under the influence of passion., a barbarous crime In taking vengeance for the commis sion of another grime. It was a spasm. Ii Colorado there 1s a condition of cool and deliberate overriding of the law. organased resistance to state authority, the de portation of persons from a community, the intimidation of the officers of the law. the eomplete substitution of rule by an irre sponsible mob for courts and juries.
