A Washington dispatch says that Secretary of the Treasury Shaw has A dispatch from Charleston, W. Va., dated August 28, says that Governor White has ordered the Second regi ment of the West Virginia national guard to the mining districts, to pro tect life and property. This has caused considerable excitement and riots of more or less magnitude continue to break out at many points. A London cablegram, dated August 28, says that at a meeting of the coun cil of the South Wales miners' feder ation, it was decided to forward $5,000 to aid the striking miners of the United States. Another London dispatch reports that tho British government is at tempting to Increase the tax on mines in South Africa with a view to make the new colonies contribute to the cost of the war, and it is rumored that the government wishes to secure from $280,000,000 to $500,000,000 for this pur pose.

Under tho caption, "What Is a Dem ocrat?" the Now York World of recent date said: "Mr. Bryan's Commoner recently gave this definition: 'A dem ocrat is one who supports democratic principles and the democratic candi dates who stand for them.' But is not this begging tho question? What are democratic principles, and do demo cratic candidates always stand for them?" Continuing, the World remarks: "Men are not made democrats or re publicans by their acceptance of res olutions adopted by national conven tions. Rather are conventions demo cratic or republican as they affirm the principles upon which these parties were founded, and which are held by tho body of voters constituting them." The above statement, or theory, from the World is ridiculous, nonsensical, and injurious to the cause of party suc cess to the extent that tho World's in fluence with democrats obtains. If na tional conventions do not dictate tho platform and decide the nominations of the party, in accordance with the will of the people, as represented by their delegates from all tho various sections of the country, every four years, then we can have no party. Because the World has its own view as to what finnRtir.tifns ilpmnrrnnv nnd the Brooklyn Eagle has another, the Chicago Chronicle another, the Detroit irree jrress anotner, tne New York Times another, and various .other newspapers, and prominent men hold to their own Individual opinions in the matter, it is evident that the New York World Is irrational when it de clares that the national convention should not determine what the plat form of the party must bo for tho forthcoming campaign. In this, it makes one of those statements which adds to tho difficulties encountered by the democratic party, no matter what the platform or who the candidates may be. If men are not -made democrats or republicans by acceptance of resolu tions adopted by national conventions', we know not how political opinions are formed in the minds of the voters of the country. We will admit that conventions are democratic or repub lican as they affirm the principles upon which those parties werelounded; that is quite true, and as those conventions become democratic or republican ny adoption of resolutions and adherence to nrincinle. so does the 'indivfrfnal voter become democratic or republican J as he accepts and espouses the decision of tho one or the other of those con ventions. This is what has been dono from time immemorablo, and is what must be dono in tho future. Any dec- laratlon to tho contrary, on the part of the New York" World or any other paper, is prepostorous. -Buffalo (N. Y.) Times. Roosevelt Surrenders to the Trusts. "If we can got adequate control by tho nation of these corporations," said .president Roosevelt, in his Boston speech, "then we can pass legislation which will give us the power of reg ulation and supervision over them. If tho nation had that power, mind you, I should advocate as strenuously as I know how that that power should bo exercised with extreme caution and self-restraint." These are words of wisdom, of sound statesmanship. The president recognizes tho evil and menace of exeat unbridled corporations controlling tho production ana price of the neces saries and comforts of life, and Is strong in his conviction that they must be" curbed and held In check by tho strong arm of the law. But he also recognizes that the largo corporation has its uses in modern business life and Chat such combinations have como to stay. To deal too radically with them to assail them as nubile ene mies and attempt to exterminate them by prohibitory legislation would bo destructive of our industrial and com mercial greatness. The, trusts must be controlled and restricted, and then tbey will be pow erless for harm and productive only of good. This Is the president's idea, and it is sound, sensible and practical.
