UNRIPE PROPHECY.
Between those ovei'-ltecn gentlemen
who would reorganize the Democratic
party and another set, likewise super
fluously zealous, who would draw a line
of proscription, the party, would have a.
juo?pect of confusion and defeat ahead
If It were not for the better wisdom of
lue rank and file.
It ought to be plain enough that the
Democratic party is already organized.
From the National Committee down to
county and precinct committees nothing
is lacking. As far as organization goes,
the party is ready to do regularly and
correctly anything that may arise. For
example, when Judge Piiillips died in
Illinois, a party convention was called,
a candidate duly nominated and a
campaign prepared. Any other emer
gency can be met in the same way, to
the full satisfaction of party voters.
The party is In condition to await the
development of national issues in 1904.
Talk of reorganization, like talk of
proscription, can proceed only from am
bitious politicians who are lusting to
pre-empt the machinery for their selfish
uses.
Doing every day's duty as it arises Is
a good old homely way of accumulating
power and reputation. The Democratic
party's best opportunity lies in conduct
ing well the affairs which it already has
In hand. In St, Louis the party has, by
a sensible restoration of harmony on
questions of local government, acquired
control of administration. Its success
has so far been agreeable to all the peo
ple of the city. Mayor Wells and his
colleagues have begun their work in a
way which promises what the voters
and taxpayers want The party-has
gained enormously in, popular strength
by consulting the wishes of the people.
In the State the duties of government
are in equally good hands. The recent
session of the Legislature made an ex
cellent record of economy and honest
work. Missouri Democrats do not need
reorganizes or proscriptionists. They
look back upon nothing in the past for
which they have apologies to offer and
see nothing ahead which causes appre
hension. Nobody can yet write down in resolu
tions what the paramount i6sue or
issues will be in 1904. Democratic prin
ciples of strict constitutional construc
tion and -preservation of manhood lib
erty will be applied. The foremost is
sues will be determined by the people
of, the United States at the time. More
than that no politician is enough of. a
prophet to know.
There is no true prophet to tell who
will be the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency; not even from what section
he willl)e taken. The man of the hour
may 'arise in a Southern State for the
first time since the Civil War. If the
man appears, there is not enough sec
tional prejudice left to bar his way to
the nomination.
In issues and in the man Democratic
statesmanship will' be demanded. The
country is traveling at a fast pace. Start
ling changes in internal trade methods
are leaving legislation behind. We may
have a foreign war policy to decide.
The tariff Is rising again to importance
as an issue under the operations of the
trusts. The colonial question, declared.
In convention -last year the paramount
issue, Is yet to be settled.
Great Individual minds are pondering
upon the rapid sweep of events. The
collective thought of the nation is sus
pending Judgment on the conflicts of
parties while it strives to comprehend
the tendencies of the times.
Little minds are fidgeting and laying
down the law. Before the campaign of
1004 opens they will have forgotten
themselves their premature nonsense
about reorganizing a party already thor
oughly organized and furnishing issues
to a' party which accepts Issues only
-from 'the people and only at the proper
.tiirie.
. NOW FOR THE WORK.
St. Louis has been particulatly for
tunate within the last few. months 'Jn
having the municipal tangle cleared of
many obstructions to progress. The
people themselves have been responsible
.for many of the Improved conditions.
Others, like the decision of the United
States Supreme Court in the case of
Margaret French, versus the Barber
Asphalt Company of Kansas City, are
little less than providential. .
r -For many years St Louis has been
endeavoring to amend the Charter so
that street and sewer construction could
proceed without 'fear of loss on the 'part
of the contractors. The .present un
satisfactory 1 condition jot St. Louis is
due in a large measure to the restric
tions Imposed by 'the contested provi
sions of the present Charter.
Kansas City has suffered likewise. In
1894 a suit contesting the validity of
special tax-bills Issued for street Im
provement work was filed from -Jackson
County. A similar suit was filed from
St. Louis under parallel conditions.
Fending a final decision in these cases
no contractor felt like assuming the risk'
involved In taking contracts that were
-sure to be followed by long legal con
troversies. Now the highest tribunal of the land
has decided that special tax-bills Issued
under the provisions of the Kansas City
Charter are valid and that the city .has a
right, to Impose the tax on abutting
property. - The decision' applies to St
Louis as well as to. Kansas City. - '
There, is an old saying to the effect
that everything workstqgether for good
to them that love the Lord.- Certalnlt is
-that since i5t. Louts" has shaken off the

decision. Sewers may new ta recon
structed and new ones built The way
has been opened. There is now 110 rea
son why the city should not put on its
gayest attire. With the approach of the
World's Fair, the building of libraries
and the prospective construction of now
eleemosynary institutions, the rehabili
tation of the .streets made possible by
the decision of the United States Su
preme Court comes as a further encour
agement to well doing.
Henceforth the people will look to the
public ofliclals to see that the long de
ferred improvements are mail with ex
pediency. The Mayor, the Board of
Public Improvements, the members of
the Municipal Assembly and all the sub
ordinates charged with carrying out the
orders of these authorities have a duty
to perform that, because of the long de
lay, should be done gladly.
TO-MORROW'S MEETING.
At the meeting or the World's Fair
Board of Directors to-morrow afternoon
notable action will be taken in the elec
tion of officers who will thereafter stand
as the responsible head and front of the
World's Fair movement.
From that time forward, also, the one
aim and object of the company must
necessarily be to push World's Fair
work with such vigor and energy as
properly to utilize every day o time be
tween now and the opening of the
World's Fair gates In 1000. A tremen
dous task confronts the World's I'air
Company, with but two years allotted to
its performance. This means steady,
sure and untiring exertion.
The same enterprise, enthusiasm and
civic -loyalty heretofore manifested by
the leaders of the World's Fair move
ment will be In evidence in the course to
be followed by the World's Fair Com
pany as finally organized by the election
of officers. The men elected by the votes
of World's Fair stockholders to serve on
the World's Fair directory arc men who
have been working for the World's Fair
from the beginning. It is from their
number that the officers of the company
will be chosen. It is the ambition and,!
the determination of every one of these
men to make the St. Louis World's Fair
the greatest and most beautiful known
to history.
The meeting of the World's Fair
Board of Directors to-morrow will Je
Pssesseu 01 proiouna interest lor nil
friends of the great undertaking. The
officers to be elected will represent the
best brains and the most faithful pub
He spirit of the community. They will
be supported in their future labors by
a' public sentiment heartily indorsing the
vast movement in which they are en
gaged. They will moke the World's
Fair an epochal success.
Why should the Globe-Democrat be
"disturbed about the creditors of the Ex
position? Is it afraid that the. bond
holders will get too much it they get
their money back? The Globe must en
tertain eotno grudge against them. Busi
ness men in St Louis know that those
who control the stock and management
are not the bondholders. ltv is also
rather plain to a business man that un
less the bondholders and other creditors
get their money pretty soon they will
get precious little. Now, what Is the
Globe driving at hi re stockholders vs.
bondholders? j
It Is strange that J, Pierpout Morgan
has not thought of the fine business op
portunity presented by the Mississippi
River. Any time he cares to deepen the
channel and run his new ships up to St.
Louis, the surrounding territory will
give him all the business he can handle.
There Is small likelihood that the
United States will give Cuba the mo
mentary "liberty", about which the com
missioners speak. For have we not read
somewhere of "O, Liberty, what crimes
are committed In thy name"? Uncle
Sam does not take chances.
What a satisfaction will be in store for
the Justices of the United States Su
preme .Court when tbey visit the World's
Fair to know that a decision rendered
by them made possible the fine new
streets.
St. Louisans can read the accounts of
the good times that New Yorkers are
now having In Texas and rest assured
that the welcome 'to be extended ten
days hence to Mlssourians will be twice
as hearty.
F. E. McKinlcy, a cousin of the Presi
dent, has been turned down iu his desire
for" appointment as Secretary of Okla
homa. It is very difficult to be related
io both the McKinlcy and Hauna fami
lies. As usual, the landlord is one of the
main factors in the Texas oil district
It is unnecessary to add that be is not
getting the worst of tb'e propositlou.
Princess Margaret ot Connaughr, who
Jilted' Grand Duke Michael, brother of
the Czar, is not from' St. Louis, nor is
she from Chicago, though circumstances
might indicate as much.
Omaha Justice seems to have its 6cales
tipped by a preponderance of money in
the shape of rewards. If Pat Crowe is
the Joker he is said to be, he will give
himself up and claim ?30,v00.
Reports from 137 railroads show earn
ings for February, 1901," over the same

But that is no reason why stock should

SriRST STOP .jn AY.l
SJcmpiils, Ter.n., April SO. The presi
dential party passed through the heart of
Dixie to-day and at 4:30 this afternoon
reached Memphl?, on the banks of the Mis
sissippi. This was the nrst resting place
of the tonr. After descending the moun
tains last night the .train to-day skimmed
along through Northern Alabama and the
valley of the Tcnncwe River and touched
at Corinth, JIIss., where General Grant
worsted Forrest In his campaign to cut the
Confederacy In two.
The fresh, green Southland, with Its fruit
In full blossom and Its Infinite variety of
wild flowers In the fields end forest was a
great change from the backward spring
which the party had feft behind at Wash
ington. The heat was rather oppressive,
but the weather was not so warm as the
President's welcome. The hearty greetings
extended to him along the route testified
how completely he hnd captured the hearts
of the people of Dixie
Confederate veterans at all tho stopping
places were among the President's most en
thusiastic auditors, and that he was Ira-'
pressed with their marks of love and esteem
i lit be eldent after a perusal of the brief
speeches he made at Huntsville. Decatur,
Tuscumbla and Corinth.
rinit Cabinet Meetlnjr on Wheels.
During tho morning at the regular hour
rn. h fahlnot to assemble the President.
summoned his advisers into tho observation
car. and there, behind closed uoors, me
first Cabinet meting on wheels was held.
No Important ad vices -'have been received
from "Washington which required action,
but the foreign dispatches In the papers
wcro talked over and .some of the details
as yet undetermined were considered.
At Memphis the-party. received a wonder
rullV Impressive welcome. A committee,
headed by Seaator Carmack. met the train
at Corinth and escorted the party to this
city. A national salutaof twenty-one guns,
fired from the rlvcr'blufts, signaled the ap
proach to the city. At the station Governor
MuXIlllln and others re-enforced the greet
ings to the party. . -
A military parada,lwlth a company ot
grizzled Confederate veterans In their old
uniforms acting aB the guard ot honor, es
corted the party in carriages through the
principal streets and around tho Cuatom
hou"i -wl-cuco a view of the Mississippi,
now" almosc overflowing op the Arkansas
side, was obtained, to Court Square.
Tho city was elaborately decorated with
flags and buulng. Not a residence or busi
ness house seemed to have escaped from
the desire to decorate In honor of the Pres
ident's coming Banners were stretched
across the streets hearing such Inscriptions
as "Mr. President, the City Is Tours." "The
Nation's President."
The cheering through which the proces
sion passed was tremendous at points along
the route. In. Court Square, where the
open-air reception occurred, the platform,
was so hedged around with roses and other
blossoms as to mnkc It a flower show.
President Slake So table Speech.
Oven 10,000 -people were packed Into the
Square when the President waa Introduced
by -Mayor William. In response to cheers
which greeted him, the President made tho
first really notable speech of his trip. His
theme Tvas the resistless power of a great
united people, nnd was delivered In his best
vein. When he referred In closing to the
noble record of the Tennessee Volunteers In
the Spanish and Philippine wars. Governor

MORNING CHORAL GIVES ITS
CONCERT-PERSONAL NOTES
Second and i.ist of the private concerts
ot the Morning Choral Club was that given
on Tuesday night at the Odcon. For the
first time In tho history of this singing so
ciety a fringe of black coats outlined the
fluttering white gowns massed In the cen
ter of tho stage, and deep;toned male voices
made a background for th'e lighter feminine
sopranos and altos when It came time for
vocalizing.
Early in the winter the club selected Hart
ley's recent work, "In Music's Praise," to
be studied for its sprlpg concert, and re
hearsals were accordingly begun. This com
position requires the addition of male voices,
and members of the Apollo Club as well as
many personal frlend3 of the Morning
Choral were asked to lend their assistance.
They responded heartily, and have ap
peared to enjoy the study, with Tuesday
night's culmination.
A miscellaneous programme came first
Mr. George Buddeus, pianist, played three
Chopin, StoJouskI and Schumann' selections.
Mr. William Porteous, who was In excellent
ocal trim, rung a particularly well-chosen
Rubinstein sons from "Paradise Lost,'"
"Tief aus der Seelc quillt mir der Zorn,"
end Mr. George C. Carrie contributed the
familiar and much-liked "Celestial Alda."
Two light and tuneful choruses for women's
voices "The Four Winds," "by Johann
Strauss, and "The Nymphs ot the Woods,"
by Dellbes brought the programme to Its.
most pretentious number, the cantata. The
solo parts for this were taken by Mln Adah
Black, soprano; Mr. Carrie, tenor; Mr. For
tcaus, bass, with the choruses sung by the
'Morning, Choral, the Klrkwood Morning
Choral and the-, following gentlemen:

roundings and in the presence of a small
and distinguished assemblage of guests,
mainly relative?. Miss Susan M. Dimock
was married to Gary Talbot Hutchinson
to-day afthe residence of her parents, Mr.
nnd Mrs. Dimock. No. Zi East Sixtieth;
street.
A Hungarian band stationed in tho upper
gallery ot the hall played the "Lohengrin"
wedding march as the bride, escorted by her
father, began th6 descent from the third
floor of the house. It was a solitary nuptial
procession, there being neither bridesmaids
nor mnlds of honor, but It was Impressive.
The bride was met at the entrance of tha
drawing-room by the bridegroom jnd hi
best man, Christopher Hutchinson of St.
Louis, and without ceremony was led before)
the clergyman, tho Reverend Arthur H.
Judge of St, Matthew's Church.
Tho bridal gown, a Paris creation, waa of
white satin, the high-necked corsage
trimmed with pearls and chiffon, and th
skirt made with a long train and embel
lished with a deep ruffle of lace Into which,
were worked tiny trails of orange blossoms.
The veil of lace was aftlxed to the coiffure
with a sunburst of diamonds, a, present
from the bridegroom. " White orchids and
lilies of the valley formed the bouquet Fol
lowing the ceremony there was a reception
for those who had witnessed It
Mrs. Dimock, who assisted her daughter
in receiving, wore a superb gown of blua
satin, profusely trimmed with lace. Guests
continued to arrive until the young couple
and Mrs. Dimock retired. The bride, on
leaving, wore a simply mad costuma of
dark bluo Henrietta cloth,. The young;
couple made their exit In a shower of rtea
and slippers, contributed by their younc
friends.

sented to the bride by herfather.
The bridal gifts. Including much silver.
bronze, objects of art, paintings and soma
superb Jewels, were not shown to-day. They
were sent to the safe deposit several days
ago.
GERMAN FORCES WITHDRAWING
Detachment Left to Gnard Pass
at the Great Wall.
Berlin, April SO.-It Is stated by official
here that the main- German expeditionary
force In China la now withdrawing to Its
former position, leaving a garrison at tha
pass afthe great wall.
The nonparticlpatlon of tha French In
the battle was not dua to orders received
from Paris, but to their failure to arrlva In
time. , .
Further expeditions are not projected and
will not be undertaken unless the Chinas
make them necessary. In official circles It
is believed that General Liu acted upon Ms
own Initiative, or perhaps, at tho suggestion
of some anti-foreign mandarin, officials
not believing that the Chinese Government
ordered General Liu to resist the Germans,
since such action Is plainly against the Gov
ernments Interests.
