Chicago chews $4,000 Worth Of Gum
Day.

Chicago Record-Herald.
Cleveland claims to be the headquar-
ters of gum chewing and chewing gum.
It is claimed that more gum is manu-
featured and consumed in that city than
in any other, difference in population not
being considered, and the two greatest
manufacturers of chewing gum are num-
bered among it's merchant princes They
find 1t difficult to spend their incomes.
But Chicago can claim the second place.
and the best judges estimate tnad our
neople use about a ton of gum a day
that is, 1900 boxes containing 100000
pieces and costing $1,000. That, however,
Is a very small expenditure for the
amount of pleasure and good that is de-
rived from the habit: for, while gum
chewing may not be- refined or elegant,
1t is considered very healthful for the
same reason that a COW chews her cud'
as l believe the elephant and hippopota-
must do also. 1t aids digestion. prevents
dyspepsia, cures insomnia, concentrates
the mind and promotes meditation.

Prejudice" Against Co-Education.
Mobile Register.
The movement for the segregation of
men and women in the universities Is
growing in power. The Missouri Unaver-
sity has now decided to establish sep
arate institution for the women students.
1t is to cost $4,000. Moreover, part
of the academic hall has been set apart
as sacred to woman. Man may not pass
its portals save by invitation. The wo-
mans parlor, waiting rooms, gymnasium
and the Young Women's Christian AS
ISOLATION rooms are barred to men. Pres
tdent Jesse, while authorizing the change,
speaks of Ut as brought about by pop
ular pretudice'' against co-education of
the sexes. One may question. however,
whether this Is the right description.

disestablishment. 1t IL possible that ma

Judge Parker would Have Won.

New York World. !.
Judge Parker had been nominated and
the Socialistic coal-ownership plank
omitted-as 1t would have been under his
candidacy-the Democrats woulo nave
ed can be more certainly true than this.
Judge Parker would have received all
the independent vote, instead of only
part of it, as Mr.. Coler did; ana ne Would
have been supported by thousands of
conservative Democrats who were repealed
by Mr.. Hnrs too-obvious maneuvreing
In his own interest as q presidential can
didate and by his astounding blunder In
adopting and defending the unconstitu-
tional, undemocratic and revolutionary
coal plank.

Democrats at Saratoga. That is the

Great Day for Democracy.

Florence Herald.
1t was a great day for Democracy when
Grover Cleveland, after a silence of sew
eral years, again took up the guage of
battle and addressed an assemblage of
New Jersey Democrats. Since the day
when the Democratic party allied itself
with Populism and deserted its principles,
this grand old man" OF America has
realized that his advice was not wanted
ard would not be needed, and the fact
that he has again consented to give ad-
vice. proves that he believes the party
has returned to its allegiance.
Mr.. Cleveland is an intellectual giant,
and in his arguments against high tariff
he dealt the Republicans some body
blowS He advocated an adherence to
old time democracy pure and simple and
pointed out the way.

DON'T BE TOO SURE.

The Pensacola Press Is apparently sur
prised that any one should imagine that
the coal mine plank in the New York
platform lost any votes to the Democracy.
or that Mr.. Hills advocacy of the plank
coul affect the result. 1t says:
How on Gods earth this idea should be
a dominant factor in Coler's defeat last
Tuesday in New York is beyond the power
of the human mind to fathom. Mr.. Hills
opinion, above mentioned, was no more
responsible for Mr.. Coler's loss of the
guberr atorial seat of the State OF New
York on last Tuesday than the prospect
of the return of Biela's comet.
The Press shouldn't be too cock sure of
Its position. With sthe one exception, the
platform adopted by the Democracy Of
that state was good one, and the party
ought to have won on 1t, but that deliv-
ersnce queered the whole business. To
say that Hills advocacy Of that meas
ure caused no loss of votes is not a ten
able argument. 1t is known and admit
ted that he dominated the convention and
dictated the platform. That coal plank
was his work and he defended 1t in his
sneeches. Mr.. Collar practically ignored
It but he had to take the responsibility
Of It or repudiate 1t in direct terms, which
will hardly be considered the right thing
for a candidate to do. 1t may be that
oden would have been elected anyhow.
/, with the machinery in the hands OF his
party, but we see no reason to doubt that
Coler lost votes on account Of the plat
form and it's authors position.

The participation of judges in partisan
politics in Cook County has reached a
stage where it interferes most seriously
with the administration of justice and
robs the bench Of the confidence of the
bar and of the public at large. Attorneys
are forced to consider the political has
of many of the judges before submitting
the rights of their clients to them. This
criticism applies to the judges OF both

The Republican plurality in Connecticut
this year differs but little from that of
four years ago, and is but little more
than half the plurality at the Presiden-
tia1 election of 1900. The New Haven
Register has this reflection over the re-
pult, and it applies as we'll in all the
other States as it does in Connecticut:
The Democrats of Connecticut have one
sure thing confronting them this morn
ing, and their future will depend upon
how intelligently they study it. 1t is
again, proved beyond the shadow OF a
doubt that Its path of success lies along
the conservative lines which prevailed

theories of government which have re-
cetved the support of radical men. who
would improve government by making
IL despotic. A lot of theories went into
the sea yesterday never to come TO the
surface again, and they were thrown into
the sea by the men who earn wages and
labor six days out of seven. A word to
the wise is sufficient.
