CRoKER's RIOT ORDER.
Republicans Announce That Voters
VIII ne Protected.

New York, November 1.-The Repubii-
can national committee today issued o.
formal statement to voters as follows;
"Mr. Croker, the head OF the Democra.
tic organization In New York, has or
dered his subordinatss to gather In force
at the polls naxt Tuesday, and in case
they see the result OF the count going
against them to eject the election officers
and take possession OF tho ballot boxes
by force. This astounding anarchistic
order has been approved ana endorsed by
senator Jones. the chairman OF the DEM
ocratic national committee.
"The Republican party has always
stood squarely for a fair vote and an
honest count. A dishonest election is
possible only through violence, such as is
now threatened by the Democratic lead
ers, because an equal number of inspeo-
tors from both political parties is present
at every polling place, and so long as
these inspectors are not interfered with,
the voting must be conducted fairly.
The Democratic plan officially declared
now is to overpower the inspectors, when

quire violent interference.
notwithstanding the announcement
OF this Democratic policy Of terrorizing
voters and burglarizing the ballot boxes,
the Republican national committee de-
size to state to the public that the Repub-
lican managers, national, state and local,
have taken measures to insure the pro-
tectiun OF the rights OF every voter in the
pending election and that the votes shall
be properly counted and recorded as cast.
The committee therefore admonish all
voters that they must bs deferred by these
threats OF the Democratic leaders from
exercising the right Of suffrage on Tues
day next; for every citizen Is entitled by
law to protection in this, his highest
privilege, and we shall see to it that his
vote shall also be protected. at all haz-

ness and lives was that conquest makes
right. God grant that grander and
better day is theirs. That soldier and
statesman will deal with them as is
best is my prayer.
Once more we are entering upon one
of those periods in the affairs of our
country which has been and is the glory
of a republican form of government.
Every four years we meet upon common
ground, where the rich and poor, the
learned and the unlearned, WELD alike
the same power.
Questions OF national Importance are
settled, and thank God, all have voice
in the settlement. New policies of gov
eminent are outlined, or old ones en-
dorsed. 1t is time when men will
not consent that their voices be stilled
and to the credit Of our people it can be
said, that amid the most severe CEN
sure and criticism the citizen keeps his
temper and his personal friendship for
his neighbor. When the election is
over, the leaders chosen, political sub
Jects are put away, and all seem con-
tent. So long as political differences
are settled and the best plans are adopt
ed in this way our system and scheme
OF government cannot fail.
This day, our great Declaration of
Rights is our national treasure, and the
Constitution Of our fathers, ours by in
heritance and right, the bulwark of our
national safety, but the dearest and
sweetest to all, old and young, here in
this land of ours, and everywhere, is
that setting of stars in the red, white
and blue, the Star Spangled Banner.
This stainless flag floats over all our
domain, beneath it's ample folds all men
are absolutely free. It was given to us
in the Revolutions darkest days, we
have It still. It is sacred to maiden
and sweetheart, who amid whisperings
and sweet vows of eternal love parted
! forever. It is sacred to wives who gave
their husbands, to mothers who gave
their sons it floats above us in the eun-
! shine, the flowers blossm with pride at
its feet. the childrens laughter is under
the smile, it is canopy fit for the best
the world has ever known,
It's stars are the brightest. it's white
the puresr, its red the deepest and its
blue, Heavens color. It is the emblem
OF equal rights.
1t means free hands, free lips, self
government, and the sovereignty of the
individual. 1t means universal ednca-
tlon light for every mind, knowledge
for everv child. It means that the
school house is the fortress of liberty.
At means that the ballot box is the ark
OF the covenant; that the source of
authority must not DO poisoned. It
means the perpetual right of peaceful
revolution. 1t means that every citizen
native or acknowledgements be pro-
teeted; at home. in every state, abroad
IN every land, on every sea. It means
tnat There shall be legal remedy for
! every wrong. Beneath IFS folds +hs

Curious Folklore and History Con-

Some quaint ideas have lowered
around that familiar garden herb and

Devonshire folk declare that parsley
must never be transplanted or, great
evil will follow. Suffolk people say 1t
will not come up double unless sown
on Good Friday--a notion that expert
ments might surely soon have disprov
ed-while ancient dwellers In Hamp-
shire steadfastly refuse to give any
parsley away. Ask them for roses, lilies,
fruit or rare vegetables, and basket
fuls will be gladly bestowed on you,
but request few sprigs of parsley and
you will be told. with solemn shaking
of heads. mo. we never pick parsley
for any one, unless it's paid forv'
The great historian Plutarch relates

of this herb. Timoleon was leading an
army against the Carthaginians. But

their vast forces would be In sight, he

Tlmoleon ordered the troops to halt,
and making a speech suitable to the
occasion, observed among other things
that crowns were brought them before
