JUDGE PARKER'S SPEECH.
The following is the substance
of Judge Parker’e speech of ac
ceptance :
“Mr, Chairman and Gentlemen
of the Committee:
“ I have resigned the office of
chief judge of tbe court of ap
peals of this state in order that 1
may accept tbe responsibility
that the great convention you
represent has put opon me, with
out possible prejudice to the
court to which I bad tbe honor
to belong, or to tbe. eminent
members of the judiciary of this
state, of whom 1 may now say as
a private citizen, 1 am jnstly
proud.
“Tbe admirable platform upon
wbicb tbe party appeals to the
country for its confidence sod
support clearly states tbe prim
ciples wbicb were so well con
densed in the first inaugural ad
dress of President Jefferson, and
points out with force and direct
ness the course to be pursued
through tbeir proper application
in order to insure needed reforms
in both tbe legislative ana ad
mlnistratlve departments of tbe
government. While unhesitat
ing in its promise to correct
abuses and to right wrongs
wherever they appear, or bows
ever caused; to investigate the
several administrative depart
ments of the government, the
conduct of whose officers has
created scandals, and to punish
those who have been guilty of a
breacli of their trust; to oppose
tbe granting of special privileges
by which the few may profit at
the expense of tbe many; to
practico economy in the expendi
tures of the moneys of the peo
ple, and to that end to return
once more to tbe methods of tbe
founders of tbe republic by ob'
serving in disbursing tbe public
funds the care and caution a pru
dent individual observes with
respect to his own; still tbe
spirit of the platform assures
conservative instead of rash ac
tion; the protection of the inno
cent as well as tbe punishment of
tbe guilty; tbe encouragement
of industry, ecouomy and thrift;
tbe protection of property and a
guarantee of the enforcement,
for tbe benefit of.al! of man’s m*
alienable rights, among which
as said iu the Declaration of In
dependence, are “life, liberty
aud the pursuit of happiness.’'
Liberty, as understood in this
country, meins not only tbe
right of freedom from actual ser
vitude, imprisonment or res
traint, but the right of one to use
bis faculties in all lawful wuys,
to live aud work where he will
aod to pursue any lawful trado
or business These csseutial
rights of life, liberty ami prop
erty are not only guaranteed to
lliocitizon by the constitution of
oacliof the separate states, but
the status aro by the Fourteenth
amendment to tho Constitution
of the United States forbidden to
deprive any person of any one of
them without due process of
law."
Judgo Darker touched upon
the subject of usurpation of the
functions of government by mob?,
and the usurpations of one braucli
of government by another, and
in this connection said:
“If we would have oui govern
ment continue daring tho ages to
come, for the benefit of those
who shall succeed us, we must
ever be on our guard against the
danger of ururpation of that au
thority which resides in the
whole people, whether tbe usur
pation be by officials represent
ing one of the three great depart
ments of government, or by a
body of men acting without a
commissioo from tbe people.’’
Be discussed the tariff at some
length, frankly admitting that
tbe Democratic party coaid not
well hope to accomplish a great
deal in tbe way of tariff revision
with the reasonably certain pros
pect of a continued Republican
majority In tbe senate, bat pledg
ing the best efforts toward the
relief of the executive and the
bouse in tbe event of Democratic
success.
Judge Darker expressed the
conviction that we already have
state and federal laws sufficient
to curb tbe tariff-fostered trusts,
but declared he favored further
repressive legislation in the event
his view of tbe case should prove
Dot to be tbe correct one.
He declared squarely for tbe
independence of the Filipinos as
soon as they shall demonstrate
tbat they are capable of self-gov
ernment. He declared himself
opposed to tbe maintenance of a
great standing army and ibe in
cessant intervention of tbe gov
ernment in tbe affairs of other
nations.. He promised to diecuss
“other questions suggested by
the platform id his letter of ac
ceptance, and in conclusion said
WOULD REFUSE SECOND TKRM.
“Mr. Chairman, in most grace
ful speech you have reminded
me of the great responsibility, as
well as tbe great honor, ol the
nomination bestowed upon me by
the convention you represent
this day. Be assured that both
are appreciated—so keenly ap
preciated that 1 am humbled in
their presence.
“I accept, gentlemeD of the
committee, tpu nomination, and
if the action of tbe convention
shall be endorsed by an election
by the people. 1 will, God help
ing me give to the discharge of
the duties of that exalted of
fice the best service of which I
ain capable, and at the end of
the term retire to private life. I
shall not be a candidate for, nor
shall 1 accept, u renomination.
Several reasons might be ad
vanced foe this position, bnt the
controlling one with me is that I
am tally persuaded that no in
cumbent of that office should
ever be placed in a situation of
possible temptation to consider
what the effet of action taken
by him iu bis administrative
matter of great importance
might have upon bis political
fortunes. Questions of momen
tous consequence to 'all of the
people have been in tbe past and
will be in the future presented
to the president for determina
tion, and in approaching their
consideration, as well as ii
weighing the facts and the argu
ments bearing on them, he
should be unembarrassed by any
possible thought of the influence
bis decision may have upon any
thing whatever that may effect
him personally I make this
atstement, not in criticism of any
of our presidents from Washing
ton down who have either held
the office for two terms or sought
to succeed themselves; tor strong
arguments can be advanced in
support of tlie re-election of n
president. It is simply iny judg
ment tlmt tlie interests of this
country are now so vast and tho
questions presented are frequent
ly of such overpowering magni
tude to tlie people that it is in
dispensable to tlie maintenance
of a befitting attitude before the
people, not only that the chief
magistrate should lie independ
ent, but that that independence
should bo known of all men.”

Hug* Ceylon Spider He* Lege Nearly e
I Peel Long.
The largest spider ever discover
ed is fqund.up in the mountains of
Ceylon. The homo it builds could
scarcely be called s web; it is s huge
snare, or net, of yellow silk from
five to ten feet in diameter. This
is spread across the fissures and
chasms in the rocks. This net is al
most strong enough for a hammock,
and its supporting ropes range from
fire to twenty feet, as the circum
stances mav demand. These ropes
are made of a serin of twisted webe
and are about at large in diameter
si s lead pencil. t
This huge tnp is not set for
flies tnd mosquitoes, but for birds
and big moths tnd butterflies
Sometimes even small skeletons of
birds and lizards hnvo been found
enmeshed. The spider who owns
this big web is about four and a half
inches in width and six in length,
tnd its legs are from nine to ten
inches long.—Montreal Star.
A Hidden Sentence.
I don’t think I should ever have
known who Susie was, only one day
I found her doll and took it to her.
She had dropped it on the sidewalk
and it might have bcenjost if I had
not rescued it. Susie’s mamma in
vited me into the parlor, and I stay
ed for some time chatting to her.
Susie, however, although she listen
ed and sometimes laughed, did not
join in the conversation, and when
tlie picked up a book I noticed she
hold it upside down. Then her
mamma informed me that she had
never learned either to read or to
talk. Why do you suppose that
was? The answer will be found in
a sentence of four words hidden
somewhere in this paragraph.—XeW
York Herald.
Knife end Pork Surgery.
Knife and fork inigery is-the
name given by the hospital to a new
method of Kodng of Berlin, by
which he avoids the dangers of con
taminating wounds by putting hi*
fingers in them. The surgeon per
forms many operations without ever
touching the tissues, much at we
eat our meals by aid of forks and
spoons, instead of clawing our food.
By practice with suitably devised
metal instruments, which, of course,
are capable of complete sterilisa
tion, he has found that he can get
through tcit eoaxit operations, creo
that for appendicitis in tbe quies
cent interval, without ever touching
the wound.
