Its a wonderful system The Mormans are reported to ba panic stricken becouse of President Smith's proclamation forbidding future plural marriages were forbidden merely by the laws of the United States the Mormans diden’t seem to be troubled. TSe e e The Philadelphia Record remarks that Booker T. Washington evidently be trays au exaggerated but harmless preju dice of race when he says that no nation on earth has ever made so rapid progress in culture as the negro population of the Southern States. ; Pb R R R 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, g L A Word About the Jouanal.
