q The case of Sam Parks, the New York
walking delegate, is possibly one of the
few C) instances where "bad men" get in
control of labor unions. The courts there
have just convicted him of the crime of
extortion.
~
Some newspapers in this State are of
the opinion that W. R. Hearst, of New
York, and Carter Harrison, of Chicago,
should be the nominees of the Democrat
ic party for president and vice-president
next year. There is no doubt but that
Willie Hearst is after the presidential
nomination, but Harrison does not seem
to be making any special efforts towards
the vice-presidency. However, he is the
better man of the two, and would make a
good presidential candidate. Hearst need
not be taken seriously, for the Democrats
will never be so foolish as to nominate
him. With Hearst to head the ticket we
might as well be prepared to accept sure
defeat. We do not believe the Democrats
have any showing anyway, certainly not
as long as Bryan and his ideas dominate
the party, but there is no use even to put
up a fight if We can do no better than
Hearst for staudard-b bearer.

NEGROES MIGRATE TO CITIES.
Various Reasons Given for Great Change
Now Going On.

Booker r. Washington recently gave two
reasons for the general migration OF the
colored population from the country into
the cities-the superior educational faoill-
ties for colored children and the better police
protection afforded by the cities.
The increase in the negro population OF
the United States between 1880 ana 1900
was $50 900, or at the rate Of about Is per
cent, the white population in the same
period increasing Fl per cent. But this
gain in the colored population is not evenly
distributed, the cities generally gaming at
the expense of the country districts
In Charleston, S. G., the colored population
incres sed in ten years from $4,000 TO 1000;
in jefferson county, Ky, which includes
Louisville, the coloyed population increased
from $4,000 to 43 900 in ten years; in Shelby
County, Tenn. which includes Memphis,
! from 81 900 to IS 900; in Fulton county Ga.
which includes Atlanta, from $4,000 to 45 900;
in Baltimore from $1,000 to 10000; in Wash,
| ingtcp from 10000 to 100000; in Duval
! county, Fla. which includes Jacksonville,
| from $4,000 to 22oO0; in Warren county,
| Miss, which inc -ides Vicksburg, from
$4,000 TO As, 600, in st. Louis from 26,oOo to
| rs 900 and in Galveston from 1000 10 y, 700.
Indications of the migration OF colored
residents to the large cities nay be found
| in the North as well as in the South. In
the State of Pennsylvania the increase in
| the colored population in ten years was
| 40 900 OF this $1,000 vas in Philadelphia
| and Pittsburg alone.
| In New York the increase in the cclored
| population in ten years was 5000, but OF
! this total $4,000 was in New York county.
! 1000 in Brooklyn. and 1000 in Richmcn nd
! and Queens, and 1000 in the whole rest o.
| the State.
Another reason for the increase in the
| colored population of the city, not &! wen

CUT BETTER, FINISH WORSE.
English Clothes Compared With the Work
OF American TallOrs.

The difference between American and
English tailors was under discussion the
other day by three men who have worn the
clothes of both. The conclusion reached
was that in point Of finish and workman
ship American clothes are superior to those
made in England, but in the matter of cut
the praise was given to the London makers.
"Ihe principle on which English tailors
cut a coat, said one of the three, us the only
right one. They make a coat broad over
the shoulders and it hangs.
at follows only remotely the slope Of
the figure. The important thing is that
it hangs straight, with no attempt at the
kind of fitting that is the bane of AIneri-
can tailors
They want every curve in the figure to
be indicated in the form of the coat. They
may not make n coat tight, but, in any
event, its lines will follow the figure Of the
wearer To an extent that no English tailor
would ever think of attempting.
loose clothes are, of course, the only
kind that are now smart. Anything tight
ia Stunned like the plague. The tailor
| does best now who mah' a coat loose and
yet suggestive of the wearer's outlines.
This result is attainable only by cutting
| clothes on the English principle, which is
| to fit the shoulders we'll and then let the
rest of the coat hang from them. Few
! American cutters have ever learned the
secret of making coats in that way
If the superiority of the Englishmen in
the matter of fit was acknowledged unani-
mo,sly, there was equal accord as to the
superiority of the American tailor in the
matter Of finish.
English clothes" said another man, may
he made at the most expensive shops and
they will still begin 70 wear in the Innings
| after n few weeks.
"The silk used is often good as the best
employed here. but for one reason or an
other Innings do not last. They begin to
rip, too, almost Immediately, because they
are badly sewed.
II used 10 think that my tailor was pos
sibly careless because he thought wa
an American and would take anything.
SO | was constantly complaining until !!
| learned that this was a popularity OF all
| London clothes.
PERSONALLY would much rather have
a well-cut coat than well-lincd one, but
nll men are not of my opinion.

being bestowed upon him. It is safe to
say that there is not another animal in

points, carriage, knee action, rangyness
and intelligence. e
Mclaughlin Bros. have twenty head on
exhibition here and another string at the
Ohio state fair this week. They are the
only firm in the United States that always
have sufficient numbers of imported
Percheron stations that they, may divide
them up and show at several different
places at the same time. Mr. T. D. Nc
Laughlin, one of the members of the firm,
Is here with their exhibit and Is using
every effort to rush to completion their
new brick barn which is now in course of
construction at Midway. This barn when
completed will be by far the finest and
most complete structure at Midway. The
addition of Mclaughlin Bros. to the deal
ers Of Midway Is very important to the
twin cities as they are not only the larg
est importers of fine horses In America,
but they import more Percheron and
French coach stations than all other deal
ers In the United States combined.
When the fair closes this week the
| horses on exhibition here will be taken
| to their Midway stables. Some idea may
! be had Of the importance Of their locating
here, from the fact that they will have
| thirty-f1ve men on the road out of this
| point alone, and they have sale stables at
| three other points including Columbus,
Ohio, Kansas City and Emmetsburg, Iowa.

Il had law partner once in Missis-

began to feel the effects of long years
Of hard work at his profession, and he
was advised by his physician to go to
the Arkansas hot springs and take the
baths. The day of his arrival an at
tendant shut him up in a bathroom
and, giving him thermometer, told
him to let the hot water run until 1t
had reached a certain temperature and
then to shut it off
The old fellow had more clear grit
than any man l ever knew. When the
attendant went back an hour later. my
partner was standing up in a tub of
boiling hot water. The skin was fair
ly cooked off his feet, but he vowed
he wouldn't get out until the specified
temperature had been registered. He
was holding the thermometer up in
front of his face instead of putting it
in the water"
