NUGGETS IN THEIR GIzz1RDs.
Even the Chickens or the Northwest Seem 70
Have Developed KIondiciti,

From the Morning Orc0oniG,
Late developments indicate that even the
chickens throughout this region have taken The
Klondike fever, and are gobbling w all the gold
they find. On Saturday last Henry EvcrGny
sold a coop OF chickens to George Giust!n who
keeps a market One of Giustins employees in
dressing some Of these chickens. found ID the
gizzard of one Of them six pieces OF gold. which
a jeweller told him were worth S3. The chickens
came from Rowland, eight miles south Of
Brownsville.
Tuesday Mr.. Everding sold another coop Of
chickens to Giustin. and in the '' innarts' Of
one of these piece Of gold was found the size
and shape Of a pea bean, and quite smooth, TIC
value being 81 or more. This "nuggct" was
taken down TO Mr.. Everding's store and was
on exhibition there yesterday. Mr. Giustn
confirms the statement of the finding Of he
gold by his employee. and is OF opinion ha,
under the planks in the back yard o. his mar
ket. where chickens are dressed for sale, there
could be found many pieces OF gold.
The giZzards OF chickens are generally opened
by the seller purchaser, who, even Il not

The last coop of chickens In which gold was

The San Francisco ut Tangier.

Perhaps Admiral SELFRIDGE was prema-
ture in his former news that the authori.
ties of Morocco would accede promptly to
our demands, in consequence of the visit of
the San Francisco and the Raleigh to Tan
gier. AT all events, we now hear that the
flagship has been forced to go to that port
again to investigate the reported maltreat-
ment at Mogador of persons under our pro.
lection, and also to look after the promised
settlement Of the previous claims which We
had against Morocco
In dealing with the Barbary powers our
Government Of old had to be on the watch
to see that promises of good conduct and OF
rcparation for past offences were carried
out; and it is clear that there is no change
in that respect In these modern days. 1t
would not be strange to find our demands
put in more emphatic form. and the Incl
dent as reported offers still another proof
that our European squadron should be kept
up at least to its present strength.

Mr.. Low.

The complications in which Mr.. Lows
mistaken candidacy has already involved
him are far from trifling. but they will be-
come more numerous, more CALLING, and
infinitely more damaging every day that he
fails to see that the weightiest of the various
obligations to which he has unfortunately
bound himself calls upon him to withdraw
himself from his canvass for Mayor.
Mr.. Lows influence upon the great
anti.Tammany body, the Republican or
ganization, has been to disunify solely. 1t
has been made plain that he possesses no
unifyinR force whatever. His relation to
the Republican party, arising from his at
titude past and present, has been too slight
to command the respect or allegiance of
that organization, but strong enough to
serve as a pretext for n bitter Republican
faction to renew its cut-throat warfare
with him at the front. Factionalism with
in the Republican lines has given to Mr..
Low substantially the whole of his SEM
blance Of political strength.
Instead of arousing and solidifying the
anti-Tammany forces, the effect Of Mr..
Lows ambition has been to split and
weaken them. More than that, 1t has at
the same time tended to discredit the party
which stands between the Government
and Organism, both by direct assault and
by showing Organism the friendliness OF
neutrality.
Mr.. Lows clear vision of the situation
should not be blurred by the pleasurable
thought that man who can create

The Equino1es and the Jubilee Envoy.

The Tribune Of Sunday contained lead
ing article full of tenderness and poetry on
"The Season of Equalities." Its style, Its
pastoral imagery, and Its hopeful moral
tone reveal its author. 1t Is signed, so to
speak, with the unwritten name Of the Hon.
WHITELAw REID. 1t shows him standing
at the front door Of Ophir Farm, gazing al
ternately at the almanac and at the land
scape, and distributing an indulgent, though
saddened, smile between the two. Not
often is the public permitted to hear the
reflections Of retired diplomatist upon
what Mr.. REID felicitously calls "equinoc-
tial circumstances
ITO him whose vision secs beyond the light and
whose fancy not fetterod by tho darkness each de-
tail OF the 10 Of profoundest interest All ma

gether The year hats upon the great divide between
tho vital profusiou OF midsummer and the mortal
dearth OF midwinter. It is time for temper ana for

When all nature Is in equilibrium, why
should a statesman be thrown off his bal
ance by the thought that he never has been
and never can be elected to officei When
night and day are Commensurate, such
statesman, his fancy not fettered by the
darkness, may halt for space, inspect the
fresh flowers abloom and ripening fruits,
and dream Of another appointive Job, some
thing nice in the plush breeches line.
1t is true that the almanac in the hand
OF the envoy in equilibrium trembles a lit
tie as he admits that "in domestic politics
there Is an exceptionally ebullient mani
festation of unreasonableness." Even in
equinoctial circumstances sunreasonableness
exists; but, surely, it must be only tempo
rary. Surely, even the mole eyes of faction
cannot long be blind to patient merit stand
ing in equilibrium at the door of Ophir Farm.
As the door begins to close, a strain of
triumphant, hopeful harmony is heard:

LIEUT.. sTANWoRTH's RELEAsE
Acting Secretary Roosevelt's Rebuko or tho
Court That Refused TO Try Him.

WARRINGTON Sept. 22.-The Navy Depart
ment to-day published the order in the case of
Lieut.. Charles s. Stanworth, L. S. N. charged
with drunkenness on duty on board the Adams
at Port Angeles, Washington. Mention of the
restoration OF Lieu. Stanworth to duty was
made in THE ",'T this week He was released
by the court martial on the plea that he had al
ready been punished by suspension from duty
by Commander Gibson of the Adams. The
Navy Department declined to agree to the ver-
dict on the ground that the suspension meant
merely that Lieut. Stanworth was relieved from
duty pending trial. Tho court-martial adhered
to its finding, and Acting Secretary Roosevelt
sent in this caustic rebukc, which 10 contained
in the published order:
THE court clearly erred in this casc-in the
first instance In sustaining tho plea of the ac-
correct its error when pointed out by the de-
partment 1t Is difficult to understand the dis
inasmuch as the court thereby assumes to put
its own interpretation Of precedents and de-
department above the Interpretation placed
thereon by the department itself. For the fail
ure OF justice WHICH hereupon ensues, and the in
jury WHICH the discipline OF the service must
necessarily suffer at the hands Of those
TO whom it is intrusted and by whom it
should be most Zeaously guarded the court is
responsible The fact that an officer. presumably
guilty OF a very serious offence, has by the
the court in this case. escaped punishment.
while grave matter, is Of less consequence thai
the permanent injury which would result to the
service should the department allow tho action
| Of this court to stand as precedent, and
sanction thus be placed upon the admission into
naval Jurisprudence Of pleas in bar OF trial OF
the character advanced in this instance. The
action OF the court in sustaining Lieut. Stan
worth's plea is. accordingly. disapproved.
Turning from the action of the court to that
or the officer concerned. IL is sufficient to say,
irrespective Of the legal aspects of the matter.
| that by shielding himself behind n technical
| plea Lieut.. Stanworh has practically admitted
his guilt. The case OF an officer of the navy who
is obliged to admit, by plea OF this character
| that he does not deem it prudent TO submit the
| question of his guilt or innocence OF grave
charge to the judgment OF court-martial is
mos. deplorable. il is wise that an officer should
reflect before declining TO face charges preferred
against him. that although he may. as in this
| instance. through the error Of the court, by tho
| interposition OF purely technical pie 4. based
| upon unsu ubstantial grounds, succeed in escap-
| ing punishment for gross otfense. he must. by
such an act, necessarily imperil his standing
with the service at large and the department,

| the more unfortunate because the precise nature
and egree OF his offence is never judiciaily de-

Tho Auxiliary Fleet.

The estimates of the Bureau of Ordnance
show that for arming the twenty-eight
vessels in the merchant marine which have
been picked out as suitable for auxiliary
cruisers there will be required forty-six
e-inch rifles, twenty-seven 5-inch, and 1O4
A-inch. besides fifty.fo 6.pounders, eight
i-pounders, and ll2 machine guns. Even
the highest calibres of these are rapid fire
guns, and the aggregate would be a large
addition to our gun power afioat.
OF the 6-inch guns the Paris and the
New York would take twelve each, besides
half q dozen 6-pounders and as many
machine guns; the ST. Louis and st. Paul
would take eight each, with four 6.pound.
ers and four machine guns; the Sydney,
of the Pacific Mail line, the remaining six
8-inch, with ten 6-pounders and two ma
chine guns. The 5-iuch guns would go to
vessels smaller than those of the Paris
class, and the 4.nch to ships smaller yet
To show the character of these auxil-
laries. in point of armament, we may note
that our typical commerce destroyers the
Columbia and the Minneapolis carry each
one S.inch, two 6-inch, and eight 4-nch
guns in the main battery, with dozen
8-pounders, four 1-pounders, and four ma
chine guns. The Newark, the Phiadel.
phia, and the San Francisco carry twelve
6-nch guns in the main battery. The
Raleigh and the Cincinnati carry each one
6.inch and ten 5.inch guns. The Detroit
and the Marbehead carry each nine o.inch
guns. The Bennington class of gunboats
carry half II dozen 6-nch guns, the Cas-.
tine and Machias eight 4.inch, the Helena
class also eight 4.inch, the six of the An.
napols ciass six 4.inch guns.

Let Us Have the Whole Truth About
Justice Parker.

Justice ALTON B. PARKER clears up one
half of the mystery as to his attitude last
November by an explicit statement ad-
dressed by him on Monday last to the Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee:
"It was entirely right for you to bring to my at
tho question which the sincere friends OF Mr.
BRYAN pressing upon you. cansay to you frankly
and sincerely that you assure them that voted
for the last National nominees Of tho Democratic
party, as have voted for all the regular Democratic
nominees since had . vote"
The other half of the mystery awaits an
equally straightforward explanation from
Justice PARKER: Was he with the sincere
friends Of Mr.. BRYAN in approval of the
Bryan platform when he voted for the
Bryan electorsl
If he was not, he was Thacherite, that
is to say, citizen pretending to be honest
yet lending q hand to dishonesty, voting
against his own conscience, smothering his
convictions, assisting to turn over the con-
troll of the Government Of the United States
to regulators and socialists whose princi-
Piles he privately detested.
No man capable of Thacherism at such a
crisis as that of last year is fit to be Chief
Justice of the Court of Appeals of New
York State.
On the other hand, IL Justice ALTON B.
PARKER did approve and accept the Chicago
platform and the Buffalo platform, If he
voted with his conscience when he voted
for BRYAN, he is presumably far more
respectable than any Thacherite can ever be,
but at the same time he Is absolutely dis
qualified from holding the Office to which
he aspires.
No sincere believer in the doctrines which
Mr.. BRYAN represents Is flt to be elected as
Chief Justice Of the court of last resort in
the Empire State. The people might as
we'll put GAYNoR there as PARKER, II
Justice PARKER's vote for BRYAN and the
Bryan platform was an honest vote.
This is self-evident proposition, and II
requires no discussion.
The alternative is an unpleasant one, but
1t cannot be escaped. Let us have the whole
truth about Justice ALTON B. PARKER's
relations to Organism.
