that the Republican party believes in

PARKER OX THE STIMP.
The demonstration with which Judge
Parker was greeted at the Madison
Square Garden on Monday night is
sufficient evidence of the fact that in
New York apathy has given way to
enthusiasm, among the Democrats. No
audience cheers for half an hour for
the mere fun of the thing. The hur
rahs and the hand-clappings meant
that there was genuine Democratic
sentiment behind them. Even the New
York correspondent of the administra
tion's organ in Washington, the Star,
was compelled to admit that there had
come a strong 6et of the tide towards
Democracy.
And Judge Parker’s speech was of
the kind to make votes for his party.
The way he rubbed the "sore places”
of the enemy w’as sufficient to give the
said enemy pain and cause it to feel
anxiety. He touched the raw when
he laid his hand upon the Cortelyou
scandal and explained how this man,
the holder of trust secrets through his
position of Secretary of Commerce and
Labor, had • been made chairman and
collector of the Republican National
Committee, in which position It was
a part of his duties to extract contri
butions from the trusts for Roosevelt’s
campaign fund. Being in possession
of trust secrets, Mr. Cortelyou cap
hold the whip over the trusts and say.
“Contribute liberally, or take the con
sequences.” And of course the trusts
are contributing.
He touched the raw again when he
emphasized that It was the Republi
can policy to "pay a bounty” to the
protected trusts and monopolies "in
order that they may mulct their own
countrymen.” It is a well known fact
that many of the protected interests
are selling goods in foreign countries
for much lower prices than they charge
for them In this country. A Berlin
merchant can buy a cash register of
American make for SIOO less than the
price charged a New York, or Savan
nah or Toledo merchant. Farmer
Jones or Smith in the United States
pays 25 per cent, more for his plows
and hoes and harrow's than the farmer
in Germany or England pays for a
similar implement, notwithstanding all
of them came from the same factory in
the United States. The Central of
Georgia Railroad pays about sll a ton
more for steel rails, in Pittsburg, than
the steel trust charges for them de
livered in Liverpool. Are the Ameri
can people willing to continue to be
“mulcted” in this manner for the ben
efit of the favirites of and contributors
to the Republican party? Out West
the farmers have declared they are
getting tired of that sort of thing.
Judge Parker is making a - whirlwind
finish to his campaign, and the value
of it will be seen when the votes are
counted next week.
ACTIVITY AT Gill It ALT All.
The most disquieting report that the
cables have brought since the Dogger
Bank affair is that which tells of the
activity of the British ships and garri
sons at Gibraltar. It seems that tha,
British fighting power at that station
has been made ready for Instant serv
ice. The batteries on the rock have
been manned, guards placed at the
searchlight stations and the warships
cleared for action.
In anticipation of what have all of
these arrangements been made? Man
ifestly. of the arrival of the Russian
Second Pacific (Baltic) fleet, which
lately fired on British trawlers In the
North sea. Another hitch has occurred
In the negotiations relating to that
unhappy affair. The Russian war ves
sels and torpedo boats have suddenly
and without notice to the British gov
ernment, sailed from the Spanish ports
into which they entered subsequent to
the North sea incident. As this sud
den departure was taken while the in
quiry was in progress, and as it places
the officers of the fleet where, they can
not be reached to give testimony, the
British are somewhat disagreeably sur
prised; particularly as it was under
stood that the Russian admiral would
remain with his battleships at least
fifteen davs at Vigo.
The undercurrent of belief in Lon
don is that there is close connection
between the sailing of the Russian
ships, with so little ceremony, and the
remarkable activity at Gibraltar.
Meanwhile diplomacy has not yet fail
ed to adjust the affair, and there is
confidence felt in both capitals that
the foreign offices will find a way out
of the difficulty.
At the beginning of this campaign
Senator Scott of West Virginia an
nounced that his state would give
Roosevelt a majority of 15,000. A few
weeks later he announced that it
would give him a majority of 20,000.
Later he got the figures as high as
25,000, and now he comes forth with
the announcement that it will turn
him a majority of 31,000. Verily, now
abdfieth Falstaff, Rojentvensky, and
Senator Scott, but the greatest of
these is Scott!
After remaining away from the
bride’s parents for three long years,
two Pittsburg elopers returned, cer
tain of forgiveness. The old man re
ceived the pair with a revolver and
started out to perforate the bride. The
groom then took a hand and ended the
act by knocking the irate parent in
the head with an ax. Then the bride
and groom hastily departed. Just Im
agine the reception they get when
they muster up enough courage to
again call on the old folks!

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 2. 1904.
HE’S TALKING | ARE THEY' HAPPYf
For weeks and weeks the Repub
lican newspapers prodded Judge Park
er about his silence. One of their lead
ing cartoonists —Davenport, who cru
elly caricatured Mark Hanna almost to
the brink of the grave, and then wept
over his bier—cartooned Judge Parker
as the sphynx, from whom all the
powers of both parties were vainly en
deavoring to. extract a single word.
The Republicans laughed in their
folly, and asserted that Judge Parker
had nothing to say In defense of his
party; that he was merely a figure
head put up by their much-hated ene
my David Bennett Hill.
Now the Republicans are "laughing
on the other side of their mouths," as
an old expression has it. Judge Par
ker is talking; he is talking straight
and strong, and it is taking just about
the whole company of cabinet officers
and Republican spellbinders to “an
swer” him. One cabinet officer has
even found it necessary to cable thou
sands of miles, to Manila, to get the
opinion of the Governor of the Islands
on a statement made by Judge Park
er. And the various cabinet secretar
ies, from the Secretary of State down
through the list, have taken turns at
attempts to “answer” the Democratic
candidate. How poorly they have suc
ceeded is known of all intelligent
readers of the newspapers. Doubtless
they are now heartily sorry that they
ever aroused the sleeping lion.
SIR. WATSON AT STATESBORO.
In his speech at Statesboro, Mr. Wat
son cast serious reflections upon the
majority of the white men of this state,
if he has been correctly reported. ‘'The
whole machinery of the Democratic
party in Georgia,” he is alleged to have
tJaid, “is controlled by the Southern
Railway, through Hamp McWhorter
and other lobbyists.” By inference,
the cotatrol is by corrupt means for
corrupt purposes. The allegation
means, if it means anything, that the
Democratic party is corrupt, that many
of the leaders of it are “grafters,” that
the voters of the party are led around
by the nose and voted as the leaders
please, and that, for these reasons, the
party is not fit to be trusted.
Is that true? Who are the men that
constitute “the machine?” It would re
quire more tlfan a page in a newspaper
to enumerate them by name merely,
but it is a very safe assertion that in
each locality the Democratic leaders
are among the best citizens, known
of their neighbors as substantial and
upright men. The reader in any local
ity has but to remember who Is the
Democratic leader of his locality to
ascertain to his own satisfaction wheth
er or not that leader is a corrupt
man and likely to be dominated by
lobbyists or by his own sense
of right and wrong. An impor
tant cog in the Democratic machine is
the congressman from Mr. Watson's
own district; another is the chairman
of the State Committee; another is the
Governor; others are members of the
National Committee; others are the re
maining congressmen, and the chair
men of the Congress district commit
tees, and the chairmen of the county
committees. Would Mr. Watson
change any of these individually with
corruption and being in the employ
of a corporation for political purposes?
It seems to us that in his zeal for
his own interest, Mr. Watson has lost
sight of the public interest. He’d pre
fer to tear down the Democratic party,
if he could, in the hope that he might
be able to build a party of his own
on the ruins. And In his effort to tear
down, he is accomplishing nothing
more than giving aid and comfort to
the political enemies of the South and
of the white people of the South. Mr.
Watson knows just as well as he knows
that the sun will rise to-morrow that
the contest is between Theodore Roose
velt and Alton B. Parker, and that
he cuts no figure in it other than that
of a marplot. He knows also that
every speech he has nfade since the be
ginning of his canvass has been direct
ed mainly against the Democracy, and
thus in aid of Republicanism. He
knows just where Judge Parker and
his party stand on all public questions,
as well as where Roosevelt and his
party stand. He is aware that Par
ker is the representative of the con
stitution and law and white supremacy,
which cannot be said of Roosevelt.
He knows that Judge Parker stands
for economy in the cost of government,
for justice to all men and nations and
a return to the sound principles of the
founders of the government. And yet,
Mr. Watson is willing to give the
weight of his influence to the other
man. Is it because Roosevelt is a
radical?
It is a pity that a man of Mr. Wat
son’s acknowledged ability should have
become so politically soured that he
cannot recognize the good qualities of
his own neighbors who are Democrats.
Mr. Watson should have remained a
Democrat and advocated his reforms
through the Democratic party. Un
der present circumstances he Is whist
ling against the wind.
And now "Uncle Joe” Cannon sets
up the cry that Ihs Democrats have
not furnished any Issue for hltn to dis
cuss, and that therefore he and the
other Republican speakers must stop
talking. The chief trouble seems to
be that the Republican speakers so
persistently declined to meet openly
and squarely the Democratic Issues
that they did have nothing to discuss.
Their chief stock in trade seems to
have been a eulogy of the first Mc-
Kinley administration and an attempt
to prove that the benefits were due to
the actions of President Roosevelt.

PERSONAL.
—Vice President Ramon Corral of
Mexico was the recipent of much social
attention during his stay in San Fran
cisco, where he stopped several days
on his way home from the St. Louis
fair. Senor Corral and his family were
shown many places of interest in and
about the city and appeared at a num
ber of social functions, including a
luncheon given by Admiral and Mrs.
. McCalla at the Mare Island navy
yard.
—Thomas Yates,a resident to Toledo,
believes himself to be the
sole survivor in this coun
try of of “the charge of the
light brigade” at Balaclava. He just
celebrated the filth anniversary of that
desperate ride by taking a day off from
his work, which he rarely does, despte
his eighty-one years. Yates was in the
Thirteenth Light dragoons, a squadron
which rode in the front rank of the
famous charge. He is a stout old
Scotchman and in all his life has never
required the aid of a physician.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.)
■ay*.' “Secretary Taft thinks that
there was a good deal of swagger and
bluff on the part of the Cleveland ad
ministration when it sent to England
its insistence upon the Venezuelan
boundary arbitration, because ’we had
not one gun on our coasts which could
have made the slightest impression on
an ordinary battleship, and our navy
was utterly unable to cope with Great
Britain’s.’ Weil, here is conclusive
evidence that the Cleveland adminis
tration, relying upon i the moral force
of right and long-established national
policy, sustained, the Monroe doctrine
without a big navy or a big army. But
this administration, having no confi
dence whatever In so unfamiliar a
weapon as moral force, thinks it can
accomplish nothing without a demon
stration of fighting strength.”
The Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.)
speaking of the expected result—con
tentment of Secretary Taft’s visit to
Panama, says: "All these great ex
pectations may be realized, but it is
also possible that when the elections
are over there will no longer be a man
of peace to direct the negotiations on
the part of the United States. The
agreeable fiction of the Independence of
Panama may be respected for a time
as a concession to public opinion
abroad, but respect for public opinion
at home will not be very robust in the
event that the people set their seal of
approval on what has already been
done In the creation of this fly-by-night
republic. As soon as the exigencies of
canal building seem to require it the
mask will be dropped and Panama will
be added to the colonial system of the
United States. If the people decide In
favor of colonies they are likely to get
all they want.”
The Galveston Daily News (Dem.)
says: "Not a word has been heard
on the stump thus far about the 'full
dinner pall.’ Democrats are not dis
posed to emit any ’calamity howls.’
hut they are pointing to the fact that
labor conditions arc as bad for the
laborer at many points as they were
in 1902 and worse at some. Mr. Bryan
ha* pointed out In his tour of Indiana
industrial centers that at several places
it is the ’full coffee pot' that Repub
lican orators talk about, and he has
added In his own semi-humorous way
that before another campaign rolls
around they will be talking about the
•full water pitcher.’ Careful Investiga
tion by an expert, in Cleveland, Cincin
nati, Pittsburg, Toledo, Youngstown,
r4t, Louis and Kan*** City reveals the
fact that there are many empty dinner
pails, thanks to the high tariff and
the trusts, and tti*t thrrfr"ts ‘by no
means enough ’prosperity’ to go
lujund.”
Getting Out of Reeling.
"I wonder if the spellbinders nowa
days have as many queer experiences
as used to come our way?”
The speaker was a .Philadelphian,
says the Philadelphia Press, who used
to be in demand at political meetings
all over the country, but who has now
mistakingly given way to the idea
that he is too old to be much of an
orator. He continued:
”1 remember one experience I had in
the Garfield campaign. It was at a
crowded meeting in Maine. The audi
ence could hardly breathe. Suddenly
a quiet but determined looking man
surprised every one by exclaiming. ‘I
want to put a question to the speaker.’
“I replied, ‘Well, sir, I am here to
answer questions.’
“ ‘Then, what did Mr. Lincoln say in
1862?’
“ ‘That is an absurd question; he
said a great many things.’
“ ‘Never mind! What did he say in
1862?’
“Here the audience began to show
signs of disapproval, and cries of
‘Turn him out!’ arose from all parts
of the house.
“‘I again repeat,’ cried the irre
pressible one. ‘What did Mr. Lin
coln —’
"At that point he was seized and
thrust out of the hall. A friend ac
companied him, and said, as soon as
they regained their breath:
“ ‘Why did you make such a fool of
yourself repeating that idiotic ques
tion?’
” 'Because I wanted some fresh air
and I did not know how else to get out
of the place.’ ”
A Carious Duel.
Maurus Jokai, the famous Hunga
rian novelist, established several
newspapers, and though he fave little
attention to them after they were
once fairly started he was always
ready to assume the responsibility for
any articles that appeared in them,
says a contemporary.
For this reason when Frank Pulsky,
a noted members of the Diet, told
him that he had beer bitterly attack
ed in one of his journals and that he
would expect him either to apolgize or
fight a duel he cooly replied that he
would not apologize and that he
would fight him at any hour and
place he might name. The two there
fore fought, and after the contest
was over Jokai went up to his oppo
nent, shook hint warmly by the hand
and said: “Now that I have given you
every satisfaction I will thank you to
tell me why we have fought. You
complain about an article in one of
my papers, but I didn’t write the ar
ticle, nor have I read it, nor even
seen it. Come, tell me what there was
in it that displeased you so much.”
Vigorous Music.
John Philip Sousa was conducting
a corrert at Exposition Music Hall,
Pittsburg, says the Pittsburg Dispatch.
The famous bandmaster w*as engrossed
in xtracting from his organization the
*v eet, soft harmonies of an Oriental
If ye song. A loud and prolonged blast
"as tooted by a steamboat plying the
Allegheny river. Instantly the direc
tor’s baton was directed towtard the
disturbing whistle, as though he would
have a more dulcet tone from the of
fending captain. Instead he received a
most deafening response from the huge
steam whistle. The disgusted conduc
tor now turned toward his musicians
and with a violent waving of his arms
brought forth such a rdar from the
drums and brasses that if there was
any further demonstration on the part
of the steamboat it was not heard In
the music hall.
At the conclusion of the concert, Mr.
Sousa said to one of the directors;
“The only way to overcome that steam
boat’s blow was to meet it with a more
powerful one.”
The Retort of n Drummer.
Mr. Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland,
Ohio, tells of a rather neat retort
made by a young man employed as a
commercial drummer to an unkind ob
servation made by a young woman
whom he had met at the home of a
mutual friend in the city mentioned,
relates the New York Herald.
In the course of their conversation
the young woman in question, who is
of Eastern origin, inquired as to the
occupation of the young man.
”1 am a commercial traveler,” re
marked the chap modestly.
“How very interesting!” exclaimed
the young lady in a patronizing tone.
“Do you know that in my part of the
country commercial travelers are not
received in good society?”
The young fellow bowed politely.
“They are not here, either, madam,”
he replied.
The Marriage Problem.
Abraham Hummel, in conversation
with a client, was asked his opinion of
the best way to increase the nation’s
revenue in event of a war with one of
the great Powers, says, the Pittsburg
Dispatch.
‘I haven’t given the matter any se
rious consideration,” said the attorney,
“and wouldn’t care to express an opin
ion.”
"But don’t you think an enormous
sum could be raised by taxing all
bachelors over the age of 30?”
“Maybe; but Just fancy what a stu
pendous amount could be realized by
assessing every married man who
wishes he were a bachelor again!”
A. Pine View.
Two smart young men from Lon
don, says the New York Times, once
came upon a decent-looking shepherd
In Argyleshlre, and accosted him with:
"You have a very fine view here—
you can see a great way.”
"Yu ay. yu ay, a ferry great way.”
"Ah! you can see America here, I
suppose?"
"Farrar than that.”
"How is that?”
"Yu Jlst wait tule the mists gang

GOVERNMENT TIED VP.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Prof. Stone of the Boston Institute
of Technology, has made an improve
ment in the method of wireless teleg
raphy, and his experiments are giving
considerable trouble to the government
officials who are engaged in the trans
mission of messages between the
Charlestown navy yard and other
points along the coast. The professor
has a system-which Is 'said to have the
advantage that It cannot be tapped by
any outside workers, and at the same
time he can seriously Interfere with
the messages which are being ex
changed between other parties in his
vicinity.
During his early experiments the
-tiq}feasor was given permission to
make use of the tower at the navy
yard, and when his work had reached
the state where he felt justified in
pursuing his investigations to the end
he secured locations for stations which
would be under his entire control.
When he pulled out of the government
station it was thought by the officials
of Uncle Sam that they had seen the
last of him, but it soon devejoped that
the government’s exchange of signals
through the air was being seriously in
terfered with, and it was discovered
that when the professor was at work
all others seemed to be barred from
the field. It was found necessary to
call the gentleman up on the telephone
and ask him to desist, wTiich he did,
while the government work continued.
Ijhis experiefuce has demonstrated
that Prof. Stone has a valuable secret
and that. While he is in a position to
tie up the government business, the
officials of the latter are powerless to
retaliate in any manner. .
ANCESTRAL BREAKFASTS.
From the Chicago News.
According to the Oxford Dictionary
1463 Is the date of the earliest men
tion of breakfast, but until a century
ago It consisted of a draught of ale
or tea or chocolate. There were only
two meals a day—dinner, ranging from
9 o’clock In the morning in the fif
teenth century to noon in the seven
teenth, and supper, which similarly
advanced from 5 In the afternoon to 7
o’clock. Pepys, for instance, went
down to the admiralty at 4 or 5 In
the morning on no other breakfast
than half a pint of wine or a dram of
cordial. But in the eighteenth cen
tury dinner was gradually postponed
until 5 or 6 o’clock in the afternoon.
When it passed midday breakfast be
came a necessity and a meal. Before
this hunger had demanded the addi
tion of bread and some such relish as
radishes to the morning draught.
But w r hen, a hundred years ago,
cold meats and fish began to be
served at breakfast, the utmost sur
prise was expressed. Its novelty
made it fashionable and led to the
giving of breakfast parties, of which
Mr. Gladstone's were the last. Eleven
or 12 o’clock was the hour, and it was
declared to be par excellence the meal
for poets. Tom Moore was an in
veterate breakfaster, and after the
trencher work sung for the company's
entertainment.
Breakfast finally became an Insti
tution, as a necessary oasis In the
long stretch between supper overnight
and dinner the next afternoon. This
acceptance of breakfast a century ago
thus made England for the fist time a
three-meals-a-day nation.
HAS WALKED 88,(HX MILES.
From the Baltimore Sun.
Beresford Greathead, globe trotter,
who says he was walked 38,000 miles
since the spring of 1898, entered The
Sun office yesterday morning, having
come from Philadelphia. He explained
that he was on his way to Washington
and then to Florida, and will support
himself by lectures wherever he can
secure an engagement. From Florida
he will go to New Orleans, then saun
ter across to California, and after that,
home.
The long-distance traveling man is
a resident of Vancouver, B. C., and on
a wager between two literary societies
in 1898 he began his trip around the
world irt 10 years. The condition are
that he carry neither money nor bag
gage and that he is to take full notes
of his adventures.
His pedestrian tour to Baltimore
was by way of Belair, and he left last
night for Washington. He is walked in
Canada, England, France, Spain, Germ
any, Austria, Belgium, Switzerland,
Roumania, Greece, Russia, China and
Japan. He started to “do” this coun
try in Vermont, and is making his way
along the Atlantic coast.
One of the freak conditions of the
wager is that under no circumstances,
except in crossing a body of water, is
any sort of conveyance to be used. In
complying with this requirement Mr.
Greathead has worn out 12 pair of
heavy shoes.
PANTHER EMPTIED DINNER PAILS.
From the Philadelphia Record.
A monster panther, or mountain lion,
was killed near here a few days ago
by K. W. Johnson and Robert Sebring,
and its body is now on exhibition at
a local store. It measures twelve feet
from tip to tip, being one of the larg
est specimens of this now rare ani
mal every killed in Clinton county.
Herbert Cohn and Bert Sellers en
countered the panther just outside of
town, when they were on their way
to work. It moved toward them,
growling, and they dropped their din
ner pails and fled. After running a
short distance they met Johnson and
Sebring, who were gunning for bear.
The hunters hastened to look for the
panther and found it emptying the
abandoned dinner pails. They fllred
simultaneously and the beast was in
stantly killed.
LYNN WOMAN SHOE BINDER AT 88.
From the Boston Globe.
This city has without doubt the old
est woman shoe binder in the country.
She is Mrs. Sarah McLaughlin, who
lives with her daughter, Mrs. J. Her
man Cash. She is now in her
elghty-ilfth year, and does a good
day's work every day in the week,
binding shoes on her machines, that
stand in a sunny place in the sitting
room of her pleasant home. She takes
a great amount of pleasure in her
work, which is her hobby, and unions
and labor questions of all kinds are
subjects which Interest her but very
little.
Mrs. McLaughlin has been using
machines for more than thirty years,
and during that time has worn out
half a dozen of them.
RELIC OF MAIM!CETTE.
From the Chicago Record-Herald.
The oldest church cross in the Mis
sissippi valley was brought to Chicago
to-day by Miss Caroline M. Mcllvaine,
secretary and librarian of the Chicago
Historical Society.
Tradition savs that about 100 years
ago the cross was blown from the
spire of the old Cahokln Church at
Cahokla, Ills., near East St. Louts.
The crude Iron affair lay hidden In the
ground until recently.
Father Marquette is believed to have
built the church. This assumption is
supported by the fact that in the bel
fry is a bell presented to the church
by the first Napoleon.
