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. CHINKSE THF. SI FFF.NFHM.

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 th* wound* show merely a little red •tain on lla skin, there being m art:*- If any loss nr eslravaastmn of blond This Is very differstk Itwn ths but' et wswtr.d* sf the days of ths sis ties 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 gan of the Republican stand-patters. 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 again. It is to be hoped that it will not prove to be another case of “Off agin, on agin, gone agin, Finnigin," as 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.” BRIGHT BITS. —Visitor—“When you are grown up, will you be a doctor, like your father?” Bobby—" Mercy, no!

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 er Bryan or Cleveland can fail to do 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 In the nation ever since the Civil War. hut none of them ever attained a re spectable following. The Populists were more numerous than others, but even the Populists have learned that they must fight for their radical ideas Inside one or the other of the old par ties. it is possible, we may see n third party, a party of radicals In the Held In IMM, but It will rut little figure when the votes for President arc counted."

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!” Pence. 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. Didn’t Want the Mouse. ”Th oddities of hotel guests are beyond numbering.” said the room clerk of a New York hotel, according to the Sun, “and there is no account 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 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* oeaunuißf until hU last bumps* t. Dragged*Doivn Feeling In the loins. Nervousness, unrefreshing sleep, despon dency.
