PARNELL'S DOUBLE.

The curious rumor that Charles he is the mysterious General Dewet, who has given the British so much trouble in South Africa, probably rests upon no other foundation than that of
 the resemblance the latter bears to the famous Irish leader. It at least, how ever, serves to revive interest in q
 unique and striking figure ins Ire lands recent history. Perhaps most people are not aware that the man | who, at one time. seemed about to win through parliamentary means such q position for Ireland as should forever
 set at rest the dispute between it and
 the United Kingdom was a descend
 ant of the poet, Dr Thomas Parnell,
 the friend of Addison and Steel, l Congreve and Pope, and author of at
 least one or two of the pleasantest
 short poems in the English language. | PIayfairS British Family Antiquity shows that the ParneH family was
 distinguished as far back at least as
 the time of Charles IT,, when Thomas Parnell a member of family which had long resided at Cogleton, county
 of Chester purchased an estate in | Ireland There was, therefore, apo etical justice in the great fight Charles Stewart Parnell made in behalf of | Ireland. His presence and influence
 were greatly increased in England by the fact that he came of 3 worthy | family. whose name figures h0nOrab,y
 in English literature and history.

Democrats have entered the last week of the campaign hopeful of sue cess. They have every reason to know that the plain people of the country those who earn their living by brain or brawn, and who have no interest in or sympathy with the trusts, which are so rapidly crushing out all oppor- tunity for the success of individual effort in any industrial or commercial line-are overwhelmingly in favor of the election of Bryan and Stevenson. They do not underrate the power of the forces which are working in unison for the reelection of Mir Mckinley. On the contrary they know there is dan- ger-grave. danger-that the unscrupu- lous use of bread and butter coercion by those forces will result in defeating the will of the people i'll q sufficient number of states to re-elect Mir Me this danger is being done by the demo- cratic leaders, from MT Bryan down; but after all, it is the voters themselves who will determine the result, and it is difficult to believe that there are a sufficient number of American voters who can be purchased by money or compelled by threats of discharge from their positions to vote against their honest convictions and in favor of re- taining this trust-ridden, imperialistic administration in power. This country never saw a more important election day than November 9th will be. The 1 result will show whether majority of American voters prefer being free men, each a sovereign in his own per son and an equal participant in free government, or serfs under an imperial government, the every act of which is dictated by money oligarchy.

Waterbury's democratic' demonstra- tion last evening was one that must have pleased the democratic candidates from Judge Samuel L. Bronson down to the last name on the ticket. It speaks well for the vote that will be cast next Tuesday, and if Samuel L. Bronson is not our next governor an : Oliver Gildersleeye our next congress man from the second district it will not be the fault of the Waterbury dem- ocratS. The enthusiasm shown last evening will be carried to the polls, and with q united democracy Water bury should give the democratic candi- date for governor 1000 majority. Keep up the enthusiasm and good work and AIckinleyism, militarism and inn perialism will be sent up salt lake for q long vacation.

A late archbishop of Dublin, noted for his originality and love of, a joke. was one day walking along a road, when he came across three tramps ly- ing on bank by the roadside.

J. G. Johnson, chairman of the ex- ecutive body of the democratic nation al committee, says that Bryan will have 320 votes in the electoral college, Mckinley will have ninety-four, and there will be thirty-three doubtful. The committe gives the following req sons for its belief that tidal wave of democracy is sweeping over the coun- try and that Bryan's election is as sured: "In 1896 the German vote went almost entirely for Mckinley. This year MT Bryan will receive, by the most conservative estimate, 60 per cent of this vote, a gain of 10 per cent in the German vote alone is sufficient to carry several of the so-called doubt full states. Four years ago the labor vote was largely given to Mckinley on the alleged prosperity issue. This year the vote of organized labor, num- bering hundreds of thousands, will be cast for Bryan. This vote alone is suf- ficient to carry several doubtful states for Bryan and Stevenson. In 1896 the gold democrats left the regular organ ization on the financial issue, and they claim to have cast 100000 votes, most of which were given directly to Me finley. This year the gold democrats have returned to the old party, and fully 80 per cent of them will vote for Bryan. In 1896 a large majority of +Io Jri. NnIS
 This year the vote will be given to Bryan. The Holland vote. which has always heretofore been republican, will this year go over to Bryan with prac- ticaI unanimity because of the un- friendly attitude of the administration towards the struggling Boers. The anti-imperialists' vote will be cast unanimously 7 for Bryan next month This is new and unknown zfqua4bpy in natie1fal politics, Ibus Ithe leaders of the movement claim that in ofle pivotal state alone they have 100000 voters enrolled and that these are down almost exclusively from the ranks of the republicans. The so- called reform vote will be given almost unanimously for Bryan this year
 Heretofore it has been scattered about through numerous small party organ zizations where it has not made itself felt; but in the aggregate it is q great power. In 1896 the vote and influence of the commercial travellers of the country was given to Mckinley, and it has often been alleged that this was the deciding Influence of the last na- tfonai campaign.

The government service is in crip- pied condition In gall the departments and Is likely to remain so until after the election, owing to the absence of nearly all of the responsible officials, who are in the field doing political work of some kind, or putting up a bluff that they are, while their salaries are going right along. A man filling a scientific position in the department of agriculture thus voiced his disgust: This is our busy time, and we need our full force. The service is being neglected by the very men, and by their orders, who prate about giving the people business-like aministra- tion.''
