THE CHANCES OF PARKER.
Status of the Most Prominent Figure
Now Posing for the Democratic
Leadership.

For the moment, at least, Judge AL
ton b. Parker is in the lead of all the
other persons who have been men,
toned in connection with the demo-
cratic nomination for president in 1904. |
Several southern and southwestern
states have invited him to make adj
dresses before their legislatures or
other bodies. Some of these, it is said,
he has accepted. A pilgrimage of
democratic members of congress is to
be made to Parker's home in Kingston,
n. Y, just after March 4. Democratic
leaders all over the country are saidto
be in correspondence with Parker re-
garding the canvass of next year, says
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
These are all very favorable omens
for Parker. 1t is said that President
Roosevelt has expressed a desire to see
Parker nominated. Possibly the presi-
dent thinks he could beat Parker cas-
Ter than he could some of the other
men whose names have been coupled
with the democratic candidacy. 1t is
probab BILE, however, that Parker would
be as strong as any man whom the
democrats could put up. He is young,
clean-handed and personally popular.
No record has been made by him which
would impede him in the canvass. he
has supported Bryan without making
himself personally Objectionable to
the gold element of his party. His po-
sition on the bench kept him out OF
the thick of the fight in the two re-
cent presidential contests, and thus he
has made no enemies in his party.
Parker would be just as strong as his
party. and no stronger. There is no
good reason to suppose that thedemoc-
racy will be able to come nearer VIC
tory in 1904 than it did in 1896. Posi-
bly, it will be as far from victory as 1T
was in 1900 The divisions in the party
are far from being healed. 1t is not
united on any great issue. Nobody
could make any guess as to what Its
platform would be if it should hold its
national convention to-day. Imperial
ism, which it howled about year or
two ago is dead. No democrat dares
to repeat his shriells of 1900 and 1901
against militarism now. The republl-
cans are solving the trust problem
The majority of the democrats have
come over to the republican side on
!, these and other questions. There viii
be no assault on the tariff. Not an
issue is left on which the democratic
party can appeal to the country VIII
: any hope of success. Parker is an able
and popular democrat, but 1904 prom
Uses TO be as bad year for the democ
racy as 1896 and 1900 were.

The Utah Affair.

The talk about deal between the re-
publican national committee and the
Mormon leaders, whereby Utah is to
go republican hereafter, is, of course,
bosh. The republicans carried Utah
at the outset of that community's life
as a state, before anybody thought of
a deal. They have carried that state
oftener than have the democrats. In
every election except when Organism
was in it's acute stage Utah has elected
republican officials. Mckinley and
Roosevelt carried Utah against Bryan
in 1900. The majority of the people
of Utah are republicans for the same
reason as the majority of most of the
states are. They know that the repub-
lican party stands for honest and pro-
gressive government and for business
sanity and prosperity. Louis

ing of which aroused a heated and
laughable discussion in congress few
days before adjournment. This side
board, by the way, was presented to
Mrs. Hayes by the ladies of the w. c..
u. o., because she declined to serve
wine on the white house table. The
congressional minority say it is now
stored in Washington brewery, and
will be used as a saloon fixture in st.
Louis during the time of the exposi-
tion.
Among the social features none were
more attractive, especially from the
standpoint of novelty, than the mar
riage of Mile. Irene Des Planques,
daughter of NJ Gabriel Des Planques,
of the Russian financial service, and
M. Alexander de Pavlow, Russian min
lister to Corea. The marriage took
place at the residence of the Russian
Ambassador, Count Cassini, and the
ceremony followed strictly the rites
as prescribed by the Russian church,
being performed by Bishop Tikhon,
the primate of the church in America,
assisted by four priests from the
church of st. Nicholas, New York. So
far as my knowledge goes this was
the first time strictly Russian mar
riage ceremony was ever performed
in Washington, and invitations to it
were eagerly accepted. The guests
numbered some 200, including the en-
tire diplomatic corps, representing SO
different nations.

CCNSASS,
though most of them have now been
fairly we'll settled after years of dis
pute and misunderstanding
One of the few remaining points in
dispute is that of the social standing
of the ass ociate justices of the supreme
bench. Should they or should they not
take precedence over the diplomatic
representatives of foreign countries?
1t is a question asked, and wrangled
over many times each season, and it
is for this reason the appointment of
Judge Day throws him into the center
of the social arena of Washington.
The president and his wife hold I'M
disputed sway as the social leaders in
Washington whenever they care to as
sumo the place. The vice president,
or the speaker pro tempore of the sem
ate and his wife come next. Previous
to 1886 the speaker of the house and
his wife came next, but the statute de-
erecting the order of the presidential
succession passed in that year placed
the cabinet officers and their ladies
ahead of the speaker of the house.
Following these the justices of the
supreme bench and their ladies, and
the diplomats and their ladies must
fight for supremacy, and many are
the disputes and wounded feelings that
have resulted from this contention.
1t is probable that Judge Day, with
his simple, democratic tastes, will not
! care greatly what seat he is given at
the social board. During his previous
residence in Washington he seeming
| ly cared but little for social festivi,
ties.

merely for Instructions sake It's his
right to vote against a measure to
which he believes his constituents, or
a majority of them, are opposed, or
which he honestly believes to be not
for the best interests of the greatest
number. 1t may be said that it is his
proper privilege to strive to defeat

to crafty its desire for revenge. Its

grounds. Public interests are disre-

is a public trust is trampled under

having become incapacitated, through
illness, to continue his task of talk
ing the Panama canal treaty to death,
two of his democratic colleagues have
announced their intention to continue
it in his stead, under protection Of

Thus the democrats in the national
legislature stand before the people as
champions of their party's old policy
of obstruction-obst for OBJ
struction's sake, obstruction that is
purely partisan, obstruction that ut

RoosEvELT's NEW AIDS.
Execution of 'rh eOries Regarding the
Regulation of the So
Called Trusts.

The choice of George B. Cortelyou
20 be secretary of the new department
Of commerce and labor, and of Hnn.
James Il. Garfield to be the chief of the
bureau of corporations in that depart
ment, means more than the selection
of two young, aggressive, and we'll
equipped men to have charge of the
important work that will be assigned
to them under the provisions of the
law creating the new department.
1t means, says the Cleveland LEADER
that the president is determined to
put into execution the theories he has
enunciated in his messages and other
public utterances concerning the regu'
lation of the so-called trusts. 1t is
generally conceded that Messrs. Cor
telyou and Garfield are admirably quail
fled for the discharge of the duties
they are to assume. The former, as
secretary to the president during
period of several years, has displayed
ability of a rare order, and nc has,
furthermore, proved himself to be tact
full upon all occasions. President
Roosevelt has been brought into close
personal relations with him, and has
had ample opportunity to estimate his
| worth. Mr.. Garfield's course in public
life in Ohio demonstrated his wisdom
and observation-disclosures, and it was prob
ably because his views upon many pub.
lie questions were so nearly in accord
with those of the president that he
was selected some time ago as mem
Der of the national civic service com
mission. Since Mr.. Garfield has been
in Washington the president has had
opportunity to get better acquainted
with him, and his personal impress
sion of the young !Ohioan, combined
with the knowledge that he possessed
marked ability as lawyer, probably
led to his selection as the head of the
bureau of corporations.
1t ought to be clear that Messrs
Cortelyou and Garfield are, far more
than is usually the case il not entirely
the personal choice of the president
1t should be apparent, moreover, thai
he has chosen these two young mel
with the sole purpose of giving full
force and effect to his personal view!
upon the subject of trust regulation
as those views are reflected in the legis
laton that has already been enacted
and is to be enacted by congress. Their
can be no doubt, either, that Messrs
