PARKER AT HEADQUARTERS.
The decision of Judge Parker to go
to New York and practically take
charge of his own cotnpaign is a wise
one. It may be that the campaign is
being conducted properly, and that it
is progressing favorably, but if it Is
the fact is not known to the public.
The impression is getting abroad that
there is a hick of aggressiveness .and
of broad and comprehensive leadership.
There is a feeling that the campaign
is dragging, and that Judge Parker is
losing ground.
How much truth there is in thts
view of the situation we are unable
to say. but it is a fact that there is
a lack of unity among the newpapers
of New York city that are supporting
Judge Parker, as to what the chief is
sue should be. One of them says one
thing and another another thing, and
this difference of opinion is having a
bad effect upon the campaign.
Judge Parker has no reason to com
plain of his newspaper support in New
York city, but to get the best results
from it the papers should have an
understanding as to which of the is
sues presented in the platform are to
be relied upon for success. Now the
Herald favors one issue, the Times an
other and the Evening Post still an
other. The American doesn't seem to
be taking a very active part in the
campaign as yet, but it will no doubt,
just as soon as it is clearly determined
which of the issues is to be given the
place of honor.
It would be hardly just to say there
is a Tack of dominating leadership at
the headquarters of the campaign man
ager. but it does seem as if something
were needed to give more life to the
campaign. It is possible, of course,
that things are being done of which
the public knows nothing, hut wouldn't
it be well to do something that will
interest the people, something which
it will be their privilege to know and
which will cause them to take an in
terest in the Campaign—not a mere
passive interest, but an active, earnest
interest that will be so apparent that
the campaign will undergo a complete
transformation? .
Judge Parker was told that some
thing of the kind was needed the day
the editors called upon him. and it is
probable that what he learned on that
occasion caused him to change his
mind about remaining at Rosemount.
He has had some experience in man
aging a campaign, and it may be that
he can turn that experience to good
account at this time.
There is some ground for thinking
that he has been on the bench so long
that he has acquired the judicial habit
in thinking and speaking. If that is
the case, it will be wise for him to get
rid of it as soon 'as possible during
the campaign, for what is needed at
this time is some ringing words and
aggressive management that will stir
Democrats in all parts of the country
to action, that will set them talking
Democratic doctrines, singing Demo
citatic campaign songs and forming
Democratic campaign clubs. There are,
no doubt, enough voters who are op
posed to Mr. Roosevelt to elect Judge
Parker. Ail that is necessary is to get
them to the polls. The inspiration
necessary to awaken the mighty masses
of the Democracy to action must come
from the headquarters of the cam
ifolgn committee. That inspiration is
still lacking. Judge Parker is going
to headquarters and will do his part
in furnishing it. A good deal of it
ought to be in his letter of ac
ceptance.
THF, MOST AMERICAN SECTION.
An investigator has discovered ttfat
the American stock is dying out in
New England, and has written to Dr.
W. N. Taylor, of Richmond, Va„ to
inquire if the same is true of the
Southern section of the country. We
have not seen Dr. Taylor's reply, but
we know very well what It will be.
The American stock is not dying out
in this section of the country. On
the other hand, it Is increasing rapid
ly and will no doubt continue to do so
for ye*ars to come. The census figures
show that the population of the South
is growing steadily. And thus Is due
to natural increases, not to immigra
tion, as In the North. If Immigration
were to be suspended permanently it
would not be a great while before the
South would be the most populous sec
tion of th# country. Northern women,
it seems, decline to accept the respon
sibilities of maternity, for various rea
sons. It is not so at the South. In
this section a woman's prondest title
is "mother," and the woman delights
to have the dear term uttered by num
erous offspring. From the Potomac
river south, especially in the rural
districts, families of above three child
ren are the rule, while families of three
times that many children are by no
means uncommon. The writer hereof
has in mind a little settlement in Co
lumbus county. North Carolina, in
which there are an even forty children
in four families of old Scotch Presby
terian stock. In one of these families
the mother of ten children Is thirty
five years of age. and never knew a
sick day. In another family, the father
has been married twice, each of his
wives bearing him nine children, 'ail of
whom are alive and adding to the
wealth, as well as the population of
the county. Nor re these North
Cnmlitiians different from their con
temporaries in South Carolina. Geor
gia and other Southern st'ates. Through
out the South the love of home and
family is very strong, and when "God
glveth an Increase” it 4* welcomed
with open arms. That is whv the
South Is th# most American section of
the United States. Here th# old stock
Is preserved, th* old traditions ure
revered and the old morality is
practiced.

without compensation. Most of the
male portion of the inhabitants have
been forced to work for the Russians,
either in digging trenches and build
ing lortifieations or in performing other
labor of other kinds for the Russian
army. The women and children are
wandering shelterless in the fields. Just
able to pick up a scant living in one
way and another. That many of the
men and women die from the hard
ships they are forced to endure and
that others are killed outright by the
Russians are facts that are admitted.
Under the circumstances it isn't
strange that the sympathies of the
Chinese are with the Japanese.
If the Chinese have the opportunity
they will make the Russians feel the
effects of their hatred for them. They
are restrained now, however, by their
government, which is doing all it can
to preserve the neutrality of China,
as between Russia and Japan, in ac
cordance with an agreement made
with this country and the Powers of
Europe. The time will come prob
ably when the Chinese will have their
revenge and it will be sweet to them.
If Japan wins in the war Russia
will have to abandon Manchuria al
together and the Chinese will enjoy
that province without molestation, but
if the Russians should win the
chances are efforts would be made to
parcel out China among the great
Powers. Such efforts would hardly be
successful, however. Some day the
Chinese are going to waken from their
long sleep, and under the leadership
of Japan will make their influence felt
throughout the world.
WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?
It is stated in dispatches from
Omaha, Neb., to several of the New
York papers that on last Thursday,
W. S. Jennings, Governor of Florida,
in an interview, said:
“I believe that the telegram pur
porting to have been written and sent
by Judge Parker just after the ad
journment of the St. Louis conven
tion. in which he expressed the con
viction that the gold standard was
irrevocably established and declared
that he was in favor of it. was never
sent by the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency himself. I believe it
was a fake.”
Gov. Jennings' attention was called
to the fact that in a letter subsequent
ly written Judge Parker had said he
wrote and sent the telegram, and he
was asked if he thought the letter
was also a fake. He said no, but he
insisted that the gold standard tele
gram was a fake. He declared It to
be his belief that the men behind Judge
Barker faked the telegram.
It is evident that Gov. Jennings
isn’t verv loval to the Democratic
ticket, if he is quoted correctly in
the foregoing interview. We shall not
be surprised if on his return to Flor
ida the Democrats of that state in
sist upon an explanation from him,
notwithstanding the fact that he was
a candidate for United States senator
at the recent Democratic primary. He
certainly -cannot be intending to sup
port the presidential ticket of the Dem
ocratic party. How could he con
scientiously support for President a
man he aocusses of deliberatly deceiv
ing the people in so important a mat
ter as that of the gold standard tele
gram to the St. Louis Convention?
He is the only prominent Democrat
in the country who, as far as the pub
lic knows, thinks the telegram was
a fake. And as far as we know he
hasn't a scintilla of evidence for his
belief. But if he has any evidence
he ought to be forced to give it to
the public.
We know there are some Republicans
who pretend to think Judge Parker
didn't send the telegram or that, if
he did, it was arranged before the
convention -assembled that he should
send it, hut they only pretend, be
cause they know a man of Judge Par
ker’s high character wouldn't be guil
ty of such a fraud. But for political
purposes they question the genuineness
of the telegram. Therefore, Gov. Jen
nings, assuming he 1s quoted correct
ly, goes even ‘beyond Republicans in
his assaults upon the head of the
presidential ticket of his party. Un
less we are mistaken Florida Demo
crats will have some interesting ques
tions to ask him on his return home.
That Judge Parker wrote and sent
the famous gold telegram without any
suggestion from any one there isn't
room for doubt.
SMALL BULLETS IN WAR.
Army surgeons everywhere are
w atching with Interest the medical re
ports of the contending armies in the
Far East, especially with respect to
the gunshot W'ounds. The tendency In
the evolution of army rifles during
the past few years has been in the
direction of small projectiles and high
velocities, and the Japanese have car
ried these details further than about
any nation. The projectile of
the American army rifle is not quite
as large around as a lead pencil, and
Is about an Inch long. The Japanese
projectile is still smaller and lighter
than the American, but Is thrown from
the muzzle of the rifle at a higher
velocity. The Russian projectile is
considerably larger than that of the
Japanese and some larger than the
American.
Russian army surgeons report that
the bullets of the Japanese rifles are
the most humane ever used In war.
They Jo not tear and lacerate the tis
sues through which they pass, hut
merely force them aside, making a
clean and small hole. This closes as
soon aa the bullet has passed, and un
less the shot is almost Immediately fa
tal the wounded man has an excel
lent chance of recovery within a few
days or weeks. Instances have been
known in which soldiers were shot In
the head, the bullet traversing the
brain, yet the men st ffered no serious
effects beyond severe headsehes for
• day or two. Others shot through the
abdomen have spent a day nr two in
th* hospital and then resumed their
places In the tanks. Punctures that
were formerly regarded as almost cer
tainly mortal now heal and are for
gotten tn lee# than a week. Moat of

Then the bullets fired were nearly as
large as the end of one's finger and
were made of soft lead. Entering a
body, they flattened and tore and rup
tured and broke whatever they struck.
They were not "merciful" bullets. They
were designed to deal death or such
fearful injury that the man struck
by one of them would be either killed
or Incapacitated for months if not for
all time. In her wars with the blacks
in Africa, and for a time in the Boer
war, Great Britain employed a dum
dum or mushroom bullet, especially de
signed to tear flesh, break bones and
cause blood poisoning. But civilization
cried out against the use of such pro
jectiles with so much vehemence that
their use w-as abandoned. And now
all of the Powers are using the small,
hard bullet, projected by nitro-powder.
Those wounded by these bult6w have
a largely increased percentage of
chances in favor of their recovery; still
Russia and Japan are reporting large
numbers of killed. Notwithstanding
tho effort to make war more humane,
it is still barbarous.
Now there is talk of Princess Louise
coming to America, with her Count
Whatshisname, with whom she ran
away. Presumably she has the New
York stage in view. When a person
becomes extremely disreputable the
New York stage holds out to him or
her its beckoning hands filled with
gold.
The Brooklyn Eagle has a striking
cartoon on the “full dinner pail" slo

The dinner pail Is full, all light, but it
has grown so small that the working
man has to use a magnifying glass to
see it. In there isn’t so much of a
joke in that, either.
The meat strike, in Chicago, is off

not prove to be another case of “Off

it was in the first instance.
PERSONAL.
—Gov. Ferguson of Oklahoma has
been immortalized 'by an epigram.
Some envious editor in that territory
styles the executive of the territory
the "red-headed Socrates of the North
Canadian.” Whether this designation
will be sufficient to cause the star of
the Governor's political career to set
or not remains to be seen.
—Admiral Togo, the Japanese naval
commander, ig a little man—small even
among his countrymen. He is about
56 years of age, with coal black hair
standing straight up from his head,
expressionless eyes, prominent cheek
bones and a powerful jaw relieved by
an imperial. Always unimpassioned,
he gazes as steadily at the flight of
a passing bird as he did ten years
ago on the sinking of the Kowshing
and the sending of 2,000 human be
ing to a -watery grave, an event which
awoke the world to the rising of a
new star in the Far East.
—Gregory Wilenkin, the new secre
tary of the Russian embassy, has a
ready and alert mind. At Bar Har
bor, where he was stationed for the
summer, an elderly New York mil
lionaire, who bad known Mr. Wilen
kin abroad, sent him a half-dozen
cases of Egyptian cigarettes. Mr.
Wilenkin expected the cigarettes. He
knew- how many cases were due him.
But the man servant who delivered
them, being unaware of this, appro
priated one. The Russian detected
the theft at once. He said to the man
dryly: “Tell your employer that I
thank him for the five cases of cig
arettes. Be sure to thank him your
self for the other.”

OtRRENT COMMENT.
The Memphis Comfnercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says: “Grover Cleveland and
William J. Bryan have declared their
Intention to make several speeches for
the election of Alton B. Parker. This
oonjuotion speaks volumes for the
harmony and success of the Demo
cratic party. No honest friend of eith

his duty iu thts great contest."
The Charleston Post says: “The Wil
mington Star guesses that the cotton
crop this year will come to 11,300.000
bales and admonishes its readers to
paste those figures in their hats. The
Norfolk Landmark marks up its guess
at 12.000,000 and suggests that this he
tattooed on the reader's neck. Any
body who puts up his money on these
wild reaches will probably have other
neck marks to show at the end of the
season than are caused by tattooing.”
The Nashville American (Dem.)
says; “There have been third parties

A Good Sckesu.
Reginald Vanderbilt, admirably dress
ed, sat in his box at the Philadelphia
horse show, says the Pittsburg Dis
patch.
“He is no fool," an elderly Philadel
phian said of the young man. “Had
he not been born rich he would have
made a great success in life. I’ll tell
you of an incident that exemplifies
the readiness and alertness of his mind.
“He was traveling one day from
New York to Boston. The weather
was warm, and now and then he would
put his head out of the window to see
the landscape better. Thus, all of a
sudden, his hat blew off.
"Quick as a flash young Vanderbilt
reached for his hat box and tossed it
out of the window after his hat. A
shout of laughter arose.
“ 'What on c'arth did you do that
for?’ everybody said. ‘You don’t ex
pect your hat hox to bring your hat
back, do you?'
“'I do,’ replied the young man.
"There’s no name in the hat, t***t my
full name and address are on tw box.
They'll be found together and both
will be forwarded to me prompt
ly.’ ”
A Bartender's “Dont’s.”
A veteran bartender who serves hot
weather drinks to men in and around
the Stock Exchange attributes his pop
ularity to a few "don’ts” for the hot
weather that he listed some years ago
and rigidly adheres to, says the New
York Press.
"The first one," he said to a friend,
“is don’t drink behind the bar. It re
quires nerve to refuse a good custom
er, but once take a firm stand and your
rule is respected. The second is. don’t
drink at all. A barkeeper who is a to
tal abstainer never lacks a job. Don’t
tell funny stories. Don’t speak until
you are spoken to. Don’t get into the
habit of running your fingers through
your hair. Don’t scowl at a man who
looks as though he feels hot and un
comfortable enough already. Don't get
into the habit of addressing your cus
tomers as ‘Colonel.’ Don’t suggest a
drink to a customer, even if you are
sure you know what he is going to
order. Let him tell what he wants.
Above all. don’t talk politics.”
Quays Quiet Way.
The late Senator Quay was a secre
tive man. and as a consequence his
coming and goings seemed mysterious
to the newspaper men and others who
were compelled to keep tab on his
movements, says the Washington Post.
He frequently journeyed from Wash
ington to Philadelphia land return
ed without any of his political friends
being the wiser for it.
One morning he arrived at the Quak
er City early, and a reporter who
knew him Intimately said: “Senator,
is there any significance attached to
your visit here to-day?”
“Yes,” said the senator, lowering
his voice and looking shrewdly, "there
is deep significance and importance. ’’
The reporter’s interest was aroused
at once. "Mishit I ask what the
business is?”
"Certainly,” replied the senator. "I
am about to go down to the bank
to try and have a note renewed, and
I don't know whether I'll succeed or
not.”
Hi* Wedding Present.
Congressman Perkins was in the of
fice of a friend, a justice of the peace,
when a couple came in to be married,
says the Christian Register. After the
ceremony the justice accepted a modest
fee and handed the bride an umbrella
as she went out:
Mr. Perkins looked gravely and
asked:
“Do you always do that, Charles?”
“Do what? Marry them? Oh, yes.”
"No. I mean bestow a present on the
bride.”
"A present? Why, wasn’t that her
umbrella ?” gasped the Justice.
“No, it was mine,” replied the Con
gressman sadly.
Would Stop Rmwiway Horses.
Once, when Daniel Webster was rid
ing along a New England road in a
stage coach, so the story runs, he was
annoyed 'by the jolting, and poked his
head out of the window to yell at the
driver, says the Detroit News.
"Hey, can’t you drive a little slow
er?”
“No,” responded the coachman, “the
horses are running away, sir.”
“Run 'em into' a fence corner,” ad
vised Daniel.
“Can't, sir,” said the driver reluct
antly and despairingly. “They've got
the bit between their teeth, sir!”
“Well, run them into debt, then.”
thundered Daniel. ‘‘That’ll stop any
thing!”

Santo Domingo was being tom by
seventeen revolutions, says Puck, not
counting revolutions Nos. 11 and 15,
from which nothing had been heard
in two daivs.
But the war had begun to pall.
One dark night, the brass tags by
means of which the soldiery knew
each the number of his revolution,
were changed in their pockets while
they slept, until all bore one num
ber. The next morning peace reigned.
"A miracle!” exclaimed the masses,
although some claimed that muffled
oars had been heard.

ing for some of them. For instance,
we have had an elderly lady stopping
with us who the other day sent down
word that she wanted a moust trap.
I sent word back to her that there
had not been a mouse In the house for
years.
” 'I didn’t ask for a mouse,’ she re
turned word to me. ’I don’t want a
mouse. I want a trap.'
“She got the trap."
Among the Dead at Liao Yang.
From the Baltimore Herald.
He had no quarrel with any man.
He knew not what they called him
for;
Tet. roll and pack upon his back.
Ivan, the peasant, went to war.
"The Little Father calls." he said.
And followed, followed as he sang.
Till on a trampled trench he lay
Among the dead at Liao Yang.
Not his the dream of land and power.
The greed of gain, the dread of loss;
He marched with orders to the field
To bear bis rifle—tind his cross.
God had ordained it, so he faced
The pelting hail that snarled and
sang.
And gave his patient blood away
Among the dead at Liao Yang.
Among the glitter of his oourt
In aafety sat the mystic Czar;
Safe sat the achtmlng minister
Who oast a careless die for war;
They could not hear the shattered
groan, •
Th# horrid chant of death that ran*
Where unoonsulted thousands lay.
Among the dead at Liao Yang
He had no quarrel with any man.
He had no cause to battle for.
Tet, roll and pack upon his beck.
Ivan, the peasant, went to war.
A minister had made a map
Front which a deadly army aprang,
•o Ivan roll, and mads na aign.

ANIMALS MOST WIDELY SPREAD.
From the Pittsburg Leader.
The three animals that are most
widely spread over the earth are the
cow, the horse and the pig. These
animals did not spread through their
own efiorts. but were developed by
man, and gradually rendered adapta
ble to practically every place where
man himself can live.
Cattle entered America simultaneous
ly with its discovery, for Columbus in
troduced Spanish steers and cows in
1433. In 1533 they were Introduced into
Mexico, which offered ideal conditions
for them. From Mexico they spread
into Texas, where the new conditions
of range and feeding developed a race
of cattle that became known as Texas
cattle, and these animals are typical of
range bred cattle of America now.
The pig had its origin In India, and
its first conquest was that of Eastern
Asia and the archipelagoes of the East
ern seas. China fell an early victim
to the love of the pig. Records show
that the cultivation of the grunting
porker was a high art in that land as
long ago as 3,000 years before Christ.
One of the greatest of the Chinese
feast days is known by the name "Pig."
The Koran forbids the use of pork,
just as the Mosaic law does; hence
the pig is nbt raised in countries where
the Mohammedan law rules. But in
all other parts of the world the porker
is as popular as the cow or the horse;
and there are as many varieties of pig,
due to local causes and to different
ways of breeding in different countries,
as there are varieties of horses and
cattle.
It has always been a matter of won
der to naturalists and economists that
the camel did not become so widely
spread as any of these animals in the
course of its thousands of years of ex
istence as a domestic animal.
The camel combines the advantages
of ox and horse as draught animals
and burden carrier; it is of high food
value; it gives excellent milk; its de
mands in the form of food and water
are exceedingly modest, and its hair
is of great value. While the camel
probably could not bear all the ex
tremes of climate that the horse or cow
can bear, it is by no means a difficult
animal to acclimate, as is shown by
the fact that It is used as a draught
animal in the colder parts of Siberia,
on the Russian and Turkish steppes,
in the Himalayas, in Africa and in
Australia.
It is well known that wild camels,
which descended from domestic cam
els that had been turned loose were
to be found in some of the Western
sand plains of the United States until
recent years, and occasionally there
are stories that a herd of them exists
in Arizona.
The dromedary is the plains camel,
while the beast with two humps is
the favorite for mountain use. In
Sokotra the latter camel climbs up
steep steps hewn into the face of the
rock, and in all places where they are
used as mountain climbers they are
almost as surefooted as mules. Pres
hewalski, the Russian explorer, found
wild camels in the worst mountain
regions of Asia, in places so dangerous
that the human foot could not find a
hold.
SOURCE OF THE SUN’S HEAT.
From the New York Press.
The sun certainly cannot exist with
out food any more than one of our
coal fires. We have to keep stoking
down here, and it stands to reason
that the furnace of old Sol requires
stoking, too. My belief is that the
great central body of the solar sys
tem is fed on planets, which fall into
It or are sucked into it. One of these
days the earth may become fuel to
feed the flames. God only knows how
many planets a day are needed to
keep the fire burning. All talk of
“seeing” the sun is, I think, unctuous
rot. We see only the photosphere w-hich
may be a few million miles from us,
instead of 93,000,000. As to fuel—there
are billions of stars. Every new tele
scope, stronger than its predecessor,
reveals additional billions.
The Milky Way is, I believe, a mon
ster coal chute of stars, all pouring
into the heart of the sun to keep up
its energy. That theory is as good
as any other. The whole thing is
guesswork. When a man seriously
contemplates the wonders of the solar
system his mind approaches vacuity.
His head feels light. Thought be
comes dizzy. Drunk on astronomy!
We are told by those who have got
nearest to the order of creation that
the sun is 100,000,000 years old. The
statement is perfectly safe—like John
Watch-Me Gates' stereotyped bluff—
“ Bet you a million.”
There is a theory that the light of
the sun is brought to use on the racets
of cosmic dust, of which there may be
1,000,000 particles to the cubic centi
meter. Perhaps it is entirely wrong.
Cosmic dust, maybe, is our veil of
safety, but for which the sun would
be so hot and brilliant as to scorch
and blind us.
“FISH DRUNKS” IN TRENTON.
From the New York Times.
Trenton, Sept. 6.—The strangest sight
known to this city is a "fish drunk.”
Such a drunk is not a plain drunk,
but one which makes the onlooker be
lieve that perhaps Munchausen was
not so Inventive after all.
It happens at the Olden Avenue
bridge, adjoining the brewery, every
time the beer vats are cleared and emp
tied into the stream alongside. When
the foaming malt pours forth into the
water one may see a rush to the bar.
It is just like a beaming politician
asking his fellow-citizens to “have one,”
Pickerel, eels, perch and catfish mingle
in the festivities, and the meaning of
the old staying, "He drinks like a fish,”
becomes evident.
The fish, it is said, leap out of the
water, dart at one another, and throw
themselves high and dry on the stones
at the water's edge. When one less
bibulous than his fellow starts to
leave, with the idea that there will be
trouble in the family if he stays long
er, his companions gather about him
and coax him back for "just one
more. As their debauch begins to
assume Its second stage, the besotted
fish drift slowly down the stream
quite regardless of the East Trenton
small boy, who wades out into thp
stream and picks up the "plain
drunks” In baskets. Shortly after
ward they are sizzling over a kitchen
fire, victims of their own conviviality.
Residents of the brewery section of
the city who have witnessed thse
fish drunks” time and again say that
the fish come down stream in schools
just before it is time for the weekly
vat cleaning, and upon reaching the
Olden Avenue bridge, patiently wait
developments and beer.
FIT OF Hlri'Ol GHS F ATAL.
From the New York World.
Bridgeport. Sept. After hiccough
ing steadily for ten days, Franklin H
Hull, 75 years old, died last night at
his home. No. 494 Maple street.
When first attacked, after eating a
hearty supper, he made light of it.
When bedtime came he calmed the
fears of his family by saying he would
go to sleep and forget the hiccoughs.
He was then In good health. He hic
coughed so loudly that none of his fam
ily could sleep and a doctor was sum
moned at midnight. He succeeded in
checking the hiccoughs, but had left
the house only a few minutes when
the attack returned.
Tha bast tb# doctors could do was
to stop the spasms for periods of
twenty minutes. After a few days
Hull became despondent, his appetn*
failed and he became eo weak that he
had to taka to his bed. The weak
ness increased and. refusing food, he
died from eihauction, ths hteoeugh*
