Voters are now quoted at $l,OOO each in
the new York legislature, And the peo
ple always pay the $1,0%0 per vote, even
though the votes purchased are invaribly
against them. Its a wonderful system
The Mormans are reported to ba panic
stricken becouse of President Smith's

The Philadelphia Record remarks
that Booker T. Washington evidently be

Southern States. ;

The Springfield Republicansays: ‘‘Mr,
Carnegie’s progress ‘hero fund’ of 5,000-
000 dogs credit to his humanitarian senti
ments, but if so near the border line of
the bizarre in philanthrophy. that the peo
ple will begin to think that possibly Mr,
Carnegie is unconsciously seeking novel
ties in his benefactions. The ‘hero fund’
is doubtless very fine, provided that there
is no more urgeut demand for benevolence
elsewhere in the world. It is interesting,
however, to watch Mr. Carnegie's pro
gress in the giving of money. Surprises
certainly come from him, and, in view of
this latest act, people will observe with
an increasing curiosity where the next
$5,000,000 will land.
FORPARKER.
A partial Canvass of the delegates se
lected to the State convention shows an
overwhelming majority for Parker for
President. Many counties instructed for
the New York jurist. Others did not in
struct but namel out-spoken Parker men,
Not over a dozen delegates for Hearst ap
pear in the whole list, though thare are
some delegates who are non committal.
If these are divided evenly between Par
ker and Hearst the latter would not get
over 25 votes in the convention,
A few oounties are yet toact. The
chances are that every one of them will
name Parker delegates. So tor as any
contest is concerned for President the
State convention will be a perfunctory af
fair,
