With the ward caucuses Friday , th
county convention on Wednesday , September
tember C , and the state convention on
Thursday of the following week , some
thing will bo doing ahortly In count >
and state politics. The duty of tin
voter begins with the ward cnucuse
and they should be attended by every
one Interested In the welfare of coun
ty , state and nation. It Is nt the prl
marles that the principles are formu
lated which shall govern the policies
of the ; party , and hero above all othe
places the voter should take an active
part In party affairs. See that men
are sent to the county convention who
are known to represent clean , hones
principles , without either demagog
ttory or servitude , and perhaps there
will bo less reason to complain after
the conventions have done tholr work

The declaration of peace , reached at
he Portsmouth conference yesterday ,
irlngs a feeling of satisfaction to the
vholo civilized world. When the en
voys of Russia and Japan met in con-
'orenco three weeks ago , both sides
'need n tremendous proposition , In
volving weighty consequences not only
o the countries which they represent
: > ut to every other country interested
, n the east. That a conclusion has been
reached that will terminate the slaugh
ter of life and destruction of property
in the far east , redounds primarily to
the credit of President Roosevelt ,
whose efforts have been strenuously
bent to the bringing about of peace.
How much pressure It was necessary
for the president to bring to bear upon
the two contending countries to Induce
them to yield points upon which they
stood firm and make concessions that
were disagreeable to them , may never
be fully known. The result demon
strates more conclusively than nny
other act of the president that he Is
a statesman of magnificent ability ,
and through the successful conclusion
of the pence negotiations he has en
deared himself more strongly to his
own countrymen ns well as entrenched
himself In the esteem of the whole
world.
The city of Lincoln has Just pur
chased forty acres of ground which
will bo converted Into a park. The
tract cost the city $13,000 and It la
so far from the business part thai
some objections have been raised to
It , but It Is the best vacant piece o ;
ground to bo had , and the city con
eluded to take It. An object lesson
la contained In Lincoln's experience
In thla matter. What the town shonU
have done , and what Norfolk and ev
cry other town should do , is to pur
chase land for a city park while 1
may bo had at a low price and within
reasonable distance of the center o
town. Norfolk has many times flgure (
on a park but like too many other pub
lie projecta that have been proposed
each time the question has been up II
baa been discussed for a short time
criticised by those who did not huppei
to agree with the exact proposition
and then allowed to drift without ac
tlon. Every year that goes by without
buying ground for n public park Is
costing the city of Norfolk a snuf ,
sum , In the increased price that wll
ultimately have to bo paid , besides the
city will have the same experience tha
Lincoln is now having on location
Norfolk Is now large enough to wel
afford n park and a start should bo
made In that direction.

IH HlllI Inclined to doubt It. But Mr.

Bryan , Towno and Pettlgrow were
each looking Into the eyea of thou-
Himda of despairing AmcrlcniiH living
under n democratic ndmlnlfltrntlonnnd
depleting to them the horrors of the
white slavery that would ensue If the
republicans should win and the gold
standard prevail. The farmers of the
west were told that they would bo
more serfs to the plutocrats of the
eaat Into whoso hands their farma
would pass. Nine years have como
and gene since then. The republican
party was triumphant , the gold stnn-
dnrd prevails. Bryan , Towno and Pet
tlgrow with the most of the free silver
shoutera have grown rich , there Is not
an nblo bodied mnn in the country
who cannot command good wages , and
the farmers of the west have tholr
farina paid for and such plethoric bank
accounta that they snap their fingers
at Wall street and the system. Mr.
Bryan thrives In naklng ridiculous
questions. Meantime he Is about to
take n trip around the world.
