G ROVER CLEVELAND-
The American people, without rrl
erence to (lacs, creed or partisanship
will feel that in th drath of Orovei
Cleveland they have lost one of thel;
most distinguished citizens If not theii
first citizen In private life. Sine
his retirement frcm public office in
1897 he had grown steaaily In the fa
teem and confidence of his country
men until they recognized his man;
virtues and abilities that were misun
derstood or misconstrued during his
tempestuous political career extending
over a quarter of a century and came
to know him a a strong, virile, manly
American man of the highest and beat
type. In their sense of personal af
fliction at his deiith Americans gener
ally will he glad to think that life was
good to Mr. Cleveland In allowing him
to live to have the years vindicate hln
and his countrymen eager to pay him
the high, deep-meed of reverential es
teem. When Senator Lodge stated in the
Chicago convention the other day that
President Roosevelt was the most
abused and best loved man In the
United States he unwittingly painted
the picture of President Cleveland at
he time of his retirement from public
life. His political career was a srormy
one from the start. From the position
of office boy in a Buffalo law office he
became assistant prosecuting attorney,
then sheriff, then governor of his Btate
and a quick elevation to the presi
dency of the nation. In every public
position he held he was aggressive and
antagonized his party leaders and as
sociates. He quarreled with his party
leaders during his first term as presi
dent and was nominated for a re-elec
tion in face of the protests of a very
considerable factton of democracy.
After suffering defeat for re-election
in 1888 he was the choice of the dem
ocrats of the country for a third nom
ination in 1892, in spite of the unani
mous opposition of the New York dem
ocrats and of the democrats who had
popullstlc tendencies. His election
followed and 'his second term, marked
by some events writ large on the pages
of national history, closed with him
at outs with his party on almost every
Issue before the people.
Time has demonstrated that Mr.
Cleveland's quarrels with his party
leaders' was due to the fact that he
was bigger than his party and many
years in advance of it in matters that
vitally concerned the whole people.
Essentially honest, and arriving at
conclusions by a laborious 'process, he
was doggedly persistent and courage
ous in maintaining his conviction, al
lowing no thought of policy or future
results to sway him from the perfor
mance of his duty as he saw it. Ab
solutely Indifferent to the warnings of
his friends or the assaults of his ene
mies, he followed what he considered
to be the right course, regardless of
personal results. In his first term he
made a bold flgrbf' for a reduction of
the tariff, his party refusing to agree
with him on many of the radical meas
ures he urged. He vetoed more bills
than any other president and never
hesitated to sacrifice party expediency
to the furtherance of legislation which
he conceived to be right. In hfs sec
ond term he called a special session for
the repeal of the Sherman silver pur
chasing act and made the first real
step toward the establishment of the
gold standard, a work which was
finally concluded by a republican con
gress. He taught England, In his
Venezuelan message in December,
1895, that the Monroe doctrine means
something, and in that message intro
duced America into the list of world
powers.
In the closing years of his first term
his relations with congress became so
embittered that he did not hesitate to
show his contempt for that branch of
the government, with the result that
he retired from office perhaps ths most
unpopular man in the party, so far as
the politicians were concerned. Time,
however, taught the wlible people to
respect and honor him and he will
have a place In history among our
great presidents, although not as the
greatest.
TFJff TROfBLf IX PERSIA.
England, Russia and Germany are
doing sentinel duty Just -now on the
Persian gulf, most deeply concerned in
the conflict waging between The shah
and the Parliament over the form "of
government for the country, and there
is a deep suspicion that some of the
powers are doing more to Incite and
aggravate the differences between the
factions than they are to securing a
restoration of. peace. Under the
treaties neither of the powers can take
part In a demonstration in force. In
tervention must be Joint and pacific.
On this account the three big nations
are appearing in the role of onlookers,
each having the hope, however, of se
curing new advantages in the readjust
ment which must come In Persian af
fairs. Russia and England already
have enclaves in Persia, and Germany
is seeking rights for the extension of
the German railway from Constantino
ple to Bagdad. 80, whatever the re
sult of the fight betweenthe shah and
his Parliament mayje, the three next
best friends will not overlook an op
portunity to further their own inter
ests.
The conflict between the shah and
his Parliament has been, waging for
two years and It Is estimated that it
has already caused the loss of 40.000
lives. It arose from the shah's repudia
tion of his promise to support a con
stitutional form of government which
he proclaimed. . The shah Is deter
mined, apparently, to re-establish t
despotism and the people are fighting
for their constitutional rights. It Is
the old story of bloodshed and strife
that has marked the overthrow of
.nonsrrhleg and the growth of civil lib-1 Omaha citizens. In no other corarou
rty throughout the world. On that nlty will jnore genuine sorrow be felt
ireount liberty lovers everywhere will
e Interested In the outcome.
VACASCItS ( THE TICKET
The Illness of Congressman Sher
;nan, the nominee for the vice presl
iency by the republican convention,
has developed the fact that nowhere
has authority been specifically lodged
to fill any vacancy on the presidential
ticket. While the contingency of such
a vacancy prior to election is extremely
remote, still the question raised IS of
more than academic Interest.
The convention at Chicago provided
that vacancies in the national commit
tee should be filled by the respective
state committees and empowered the
national committee to fill vacancies
among its own officers, but no author
ity was delegated to fill vacancies
among the nominees. By analogy
with political committees in ststes and
other subdivisions the national com
mittee would have the authority to fill
any possible vacancy, being assumed
to be the plenary power of the party
from the time that the convention ad
journs until a new convention is as
sembled. '
It has been suggested that the
proper way to solve tne proDiem
would be to reconvene the delegates
who made the original nomination, but
that would be manifestly Impractica
ble, If not Impossible, inasmuch as the
names of the nominees do not go on
the ticket anywhere, need not be offi
cially certified to public office and are
not voted for at any election.
The national committee, as the-
party's accredited representatives.
would undoubtedly assume to select
a successor to any presidential or vice
presidential candidate who might for
any reason drop out, although this se
lection would be merely in the form of
a recommendation to the presidential
electors professing the same party
faith. Its appointing force would be
morally the same as that of the regu
lar convention nomination and the
presidential electors would be under
the same obligation to cast their votes
for the men on the party ticket as they
are now.
THE VKAEZCELA CRISIS.
The withdrawal of the American
legation from Caracas and the placing
of the interests of the United States
in charge of the Brazilian legation is
diplomatic notice that the administra
tion at Washington has determined to
force the settlement of the difficulties
between this country and Castro's gov
ernment. The limit of patience has
apparently been reached and measure
more vigorous than diplomatic ex
changes may be employed unless the
Venezuelan president and dictator
agrees to a prompt and satisfactory
adjustment of the claims held by this
country.
. The closing of the legation and the
return to this country of the American
minister and all the members of his
staff is not necessarily a hostile act,
but It is the customary preliminary
when friction between two govern
ments becomes so pronounced as to
make it impossible to expect a settle
ment of conflicting questions through
the ordinary channels of diplomacy.
The authorities at Washington have
not indicated their plan of action, but
the closing of the legation at Caracas
places the matter up to President Cas
tro, who will bo under the necessity of
making the next move In the game.
The causes leading to the existing
strained relations between this coun
try and Venezuela had their origin in
the grant of an asphalt concession by
the Venezuelan government to an
American syndicate some twenty years
ago. Trouble arose over the develop
ment of the asphalt fields, and the
whole scale of human passions is cov
ered in the story of the concessions
Persons in all stations of life have
been caught In Us entangling meshes,
reputations .have been blasted, revolt
tlons caused, lives have been sacrl
ficed and nations have quarreled be
cause of it. Proof has been conclu
sive that the asphalt owners at one
time aided in financing a revolution,
and Castro retaliated by cancelling the
concession and attempting to make a
new arrangement with other powers
that were eager to oust the American
companies. This led to the friction
between the United States and Vene
zuela, which was settled by the award
of a joint commission in 1903. The
United States sets" up that Castro lus
refused to abide by the findings of
that commission.
In addition to the asphalt cases rive
other claims are held by citizens of
the United States against Venezuela
Thev arise from the destruction of
their property, by Castro's orders, and
the revoking by him of contracts and
agreements made in different enter
piises with the Americans. The claims
have been passed upon, from time to
time, by different arbitration commis
sions and by the courts, but Castro
simply refuses to settle them, con
tending that they are not matters for
international arbitration, but must be
disposed of by the Venezuelan courts
He has been arrogant and Insolent In
bis negotiations with the American
ministers at Caracas and in his corre
spondence with the State department
at Washington. He has stubbornly in
ststed that it would be stultifying
Venezuela's national honor to make
any of the concessions demanded and
has practically defied the government
at every turn.
' The death of Grover Cleveland will

Democratlo Sir Oracle.
Bt. Louis Tlmts (Ind ).
Mr. Bryan preeumee. He ought to ad
mit the exlatence of a derapcratlc mind or
ininda othar than his own. Hs ought to In
vite or at least admit conference on sub
jects of vital party Intereats. Seated in
his library at Falrvlew, he aasumes the
rols of dictator. The reault may be very
good for ths Brysn publicity department,
but It puts a heavy burden on an already
overloaded party donkey. If Mr. Bryan
would serve ths democracy well he would
refuse to speak until apoken to, and then
only In an advisory capacity.
O PRESIDENTIAL r"im LINE
Democratic Tress Trlbntes to Secre
tary Taft.
Chicago Record-Hersld lnd. rep.).
One of the elgna of the times la the re
ception by the republican press of the
appointment of General Wright, an erst
while democrat, southerner and former con
federate soldier, aa secretary of war. Na
surprise Is expressed In any quarter, and
the comments of the press refer exclusively
to the general's qualifications, his Philip
pine service, his knowledge of the orient.
Another symptom may be found In the
democratic tributes to Becretary Tsft as a
candidate tor the presidency. If "opposi
tion" praise of Taft's character and ability
were confined to the uncompromisingly
anti-Bryan democratlo press it would not
perhaps be so significant. But papers that
nrs sure to support the Denver nominee,
papers who do not doubt that Bryan will
be that nominee and who are working
for lilm sincerely, are among those that
have bestowed the praise and tributes we
have alluded to. Tha Atlanta Constitution,
for example, says that It risks few con
tradictions in stating that the dominant
element In the south will view Taft's nem
inatlon "as the wisest and most acceptance
choice that could have been made by his
party so far as the Interests of the south
and the nation are concerned." The Balti
more Sun says that all that the people
know of Taft Is to his credit and that he
"has all the qualities which Inspire respect
and confidence as between man and man."
The Philadelphia Record thinks the demo,
crats will win this year, but It admtras
Taft as "a man of ths highest character
and fine abilities."
Intelligent men are now aware that It la
possible to be fair though partisan. The
next campaign should be conducted on a
high' plane a plane of honest differences
and reasonable arguments.
Taft In tha Middle West.
Minneapolis Journal (rep.).
The battlefield of the campaign will un
doubtedly be tha middle west. Remarkable
as it may seem, the states which' ars
pointed out by the prognostlcatora aa those
In which the presidency will be settled are
six which voted nearly two to one for
Roosevelt four years ago. These states
and the votes In 19H are as follows:

Totals J.7M.182 1.111.706
These are all normally republican states.
They are not republican by the vote Indi
cated above. In 1904 they went exception
ally strong for Roosevolt This Is what
makes them tha battleground this fear.
They are states that want the president's
work carried forward. They are
states In which It would be dangerous to
raise any doubt of the progressiva char
acter of William H. Taft's republicanism.
They are states In which the very slse of
the majorities for the president four years
ago is an Indication of a tremendous unat
tached vote, a vote which Is swayed by
principles rather than by party names.
The republican party, by the nomination
of Taft and the adoption of a straightfor
ward tariff revision platform, has satis
fied these states. They will go for Taft,
If not by aa large majorities as for Roose
velt, at least by a sufficient margin to
make his election a certainty.
-' Ker to the Fntnre.
New York Globe, (rep.).
Tha election of Taft means peace and
prosperity. It means that the job will
again begin to seek the man Instead of the
man the Job. It means an end of harmful
wrangling and a fair chance for orderly
progress to make headway. It meana the
preservation of all the good that Is In the
Roosevelt administration and tha elimina
tion of that which Is bad. It Is not strange,
therefore, that aa Roosevelt and anti
Roosevelt republicans supported Secretary
Taft before his nomination, so now every
faction of the party, each finding abun
dant reason for sympathy, is ready to
salute him.
Bryan Delegates.
New York Tribune (rep.).
If Mr. Bryan is alive three weeks from
now he will be the nominee for president
of tha democratic party. His choice at
Denver on the first ballot Is a certainty.
The Tribune has for months past fore
shadowed this action, sines In Its Judg
ment Mr. Bryan completely dominated the
democratlo party, and efforta to aldetrack
him had no serious support among the
democratic masses. A week ago our record
of the preferences of the delegates-elect
to Denver showed that the Nebraska
statesman had already a two-thirds ma
jority. He had then 668 votes. Last week
sixty delegates were elected from Colo
rado, Florida, Mississippi and Tennessee,
and Mr. Bryan got fifty-nine of them.
His present total Is 727.
Sixty-four delegates are still to ba chosen
from the four states of Georgia, North
Carolina, Vermont and Montana. Georgia's
delegation may be divided, but Montana
and North Carolina are likely to support
Mr. Bryan. If we credit him with no
votes from Georgia of Vermont we must
still run his total up to 767 a three-fourths
majority In ths convention. The two other
declared candidates. Gray and Johnson,
have only thlrty-threa sure votes between
them. It would not be surprising if Mr.
Bryan's name were the only one presented
at Denver.
Taft, tha Ballder.
St. Louis Times (Ind ).
Coupled with the great achievements of
a busy part of his life, Mr. Taft brings to
this campaign a broad and cherry view of
life, an indefatigable mind and body, an
absolute command of situations vital In
their relations to this immediate future and
well-being of tha nation. That the peo
ple of this country will decline tha ser
vices of a man ao useful seems out of the
question. It is not a matter of party,
Thousands of democrats, in our view, will
realize the value of William Howard Taft
t the land at this time of great under

a lick or two touching the anti-Bryan
habit, hlsself! He took two degrees and a
post-graduate course, and lie can prove
It, If the Sun doubts or disputes it. He Is
as much of a "devil of a feller" In Ken
tucky as Major Hamphlll In South Caro
lina, and Senator Daniel In Virginia, bo
gosh, and can raise more hell to the squaro
Inch than either of them has done.' It,
many a time and he assures his honorable
snd distinguished friend from Harlem and
Manhattan that someone some scruvy
person has Imposed ipon his credulity.
Kentucky is for Bryan.
Call it "a mere projection from the befud

DEMOCRACY'S PLATFORM.
Mr. Dooler'a Foreeaat of Convention

Finley P. Dunne In American Magazine.
"It takes all kinds lv men to make up th'
dimmycratlc party an' thin there are
hardly enough. They come to tlr" convln
tion fr'm lvry corner lv th' earth, fr'm th'
pine-clad hills lv Maine, where th' close
season f'r a dlmmycrat is on'y two months,
to th' banks lv th' Rio Grande, where a re
publican has to go over to Mexico to vote.
They'll all be there. N
"They'll be Wry dlffrent kind lv a dlm
mycrat iver I aeen. Ther'll be dlmmycrata
who believe th' protective tariff shud be de
stroyed, an' those that believe it shud be
tickled. Th' dlmmycrat party has nlver
altered In ita opposition to a protlctlve
tariff. It recognises In this system th'
soorces lv preedytory wealth, an' manny lv
th' Ills that our body polytlck Is aubjlck to,
Includln' th' happiness lv th' few. It recog
nises thlm an' is glad to recognize thtm.
How d'ye do? How are ye?"
Following are a few of the gems from
the Denver platform as "Dooley" foresees
it:
"We favor an Income tax, an' Incomes
suitable to support th' same in proper
state.'
"We believe In rural free delivery. Ivry
farmer should have his bills in th' first lv
th' month."
'On th' currency question we have an
Impression that we have said enough.
Anny wan who wishes to know our opln
yons on this momentlous question can look
thlm up In th' files lv th' papers lv twelve
years ago, an' may be lost his eyesight
doln' It."
'An' finally, an' this is where we come in
sthrong, we denounce an' deplore all an'
slv'ral th' policies lv th' administration
now dhrawln' to a Close. Undher this re-
Jeem poverty has increased ontll it Is now
powerful beyond th' dhreams lv avarice;
th' laborer Is no longer worthy lv his
hire, or wasn't ontll a little while ago;
fortunes have become swollen until they
bust; th' coorts are no longer th' refuge lv
th' poor and opprtssed, but what they
were intended to be."

" TUB FAT MEX SMILE.
Chicago Journal.
Now Is the time when every fat man gives
A Joyous grin, delighted that he lives
And, In hla triumph, shows the humbled
world
How nil Its quips and joshlngs he for
gives. For centuries tho world has glgled at
The portly fellow, vulgarly called fat
Jeerlnga unlimited for him, and he
Has kfp keen memory undfrnearh his hat.
Invidious reference to a plunging whale,
Or elephanta a gag long, long since stale
The fat man had to atand It he waa e'er
The butt of fun the mnrk that would not
fall. .
But now 'tis all reversed like lightnjnj
flash
A fat man conquers, with a giant dash
Out of the way, you thin ones, leat hs
step
Upon your frames and mash them Into
hash!
When fame threw laurels on the head of
Tft , , .
With one accord the nation's fat men
laughed,
And all the humorists, abashed and stung,
Pulled down their signs, while all tha
Jumbos chaffed!
When he takes office, round the White
House door.
The gleeful fats shall caper, many a score.
And the dejected sklnnles, overwhelmed.
Shall turn away and pester them no more!
The Pessimist There's no money In
horse racing. I'm going Into some
pther business.
The Optimist Then get a business suit.
BUSINESS OR PLEASURE
Comfort sets the fashion In
summer clothing.
And the two piece suit is IT.
A half lined coat with no
waistcoat is neither a burden, to
the hack nor purse.
