CONSERVATISM IN COMMAND.

The danger oftight money next fall,
which has been so freely predicted,
has not only been working out its own
preventive by leading to extensive
liquidation of securities held by bears,
but has put check on promotions and
on the expansion of business. Manu-
facturers are not planning to increase
their outputs and various other
schemes involving large using of
money have been drawn by their origi-
majors. Moderation and economy,
not extravaganza and new projects,
are the rule. AS soon as the public
realizes how far conservatism has
grown there will be gradual but in
evitable Strengthening of confidence.
Money is somewhat easier already and
as there is less disposition to spend
the feeling of ease will grow.-Louis-
vile Courier Journal.

JUDGE PARKER.

Notwithstanding the Brooklyn Eagle
has declared for Cleveland, no paper
has more strongly. presented the quail
ties-no man has claims-of Judge
Parker that has the Eagle during the
past few months. Even now it resents
the statements made against him by
Henry LOOMS Nelson, and says in re
ply to the charge that Judge Parker
has no convictions:
''He has been on the bench for near
ly twenty years He has refrained
from public political expressions in all
that time. He has, however, definite
political convictions and can power
fully state them, but he is Judge and
he has reserved them. The Hill mat
ter IS not a hanging matter, for with
none of the deYiltry of Hillism has
Judge Parker been mixed up. 1t has
all occurred while he has been on the
bench. How much of Parker man
Hill is now or was last fall can be in
| ferred from the refusal of Hill to let
Parker be nominated for Governor in
1902 refusal the significance as well
as the folly of which has, in the opin-
ion of sound minds, made Hill an i'm
possibility in 1904, and Parker a sec
ondary eligibility.
"Grover Cleveland, for reasons late
~ advanced, is the Eagles choice for
the Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent next year. But that involves and
justifes no depreciation of Judge Par
ker's -sincerity and ability or of the
right or of the duty of his friends to
protect him from misrepresentation
He represents standard below which
the choice should not fall, above
which 1t could rise only, by Cleve-
lands nomination, and with which the
Democracy could be restored to SAM
ty and to responsibility as a contesting
opposition party. We do not say he
could not beat Theodore Roosevelt.
OF Cleveland alone in our opinion
could that surely be said; but the
Judge stands abreast with the. secon-
Diary availabilities of the party, and
none of them should be uniustly at
tackled for the number is not embar-
rassingly large "
