the possibilities and benefits Of colombia
tion: Although separated from the coun-
try that pushed "a backward and inferior
race from the scene Of Judge Parksr's
speech to the Avon Beach Regular
Democratic Club OF Long Island, !" does
he think for moment that England has
not shared III what was conquered for
American colonies was achieved !? 0
But, beyond all the marrow, petty, and
mistaken views Judge Parker takes Of
history and the onward and upward
sweep Of national affairs, stands disclos-
ed the fact that the Democratic candi-
date for President of the United States
is willing to believe everything evil the
lying tongue of Islander can utter against
American government in the Philippines,
solely because there is Republican ad-.
ministration in Washington It seems
almost incredible that Presidential can
didate should become the willing herald
of every lying rumor bred in the pur-
ieus of Manila. 9I<, T.
And to think that he, has descended
to this depth, not to force immediate
abandonment of the Philippines to the
tender mercies of their own corrupt and
impotent. civilization, but to turn over
their preparation for independence to the

Where Trees Grow Fast.

A tree which grew nearly twenty
feet in year and half has been
taken from the experiment station in
Santa Monica canyon to the worlds
fair to show what California can do
in a hurry for a place in the shade.
1t is variety of the eucalyptus. A
small grove of these trees was planted
on a shaggy cliff back of the expert
ment station, where it seemed as
though no tree could grow at all.
When this particular tree was about
year and half old it measured four
inches in diameter. In order to get it
safely to the fair the whole tree was
carefully packed in MOSES and soaked
cloths.
One of the most interesting features
of the work of the station is importing
trees from foreign countries and try
ing them in California soil and eli
matte conditions. First one soil and
then another is tried until a congenial
one is found.
One Of, the additions to the Cali
fornia tree family thus made is one of
the most beautiful trees in the world
"a jacaranda, covered with immense
lilac flowers. The whole makes an ef-

Eddie Foy and the Baby.

Next to Eddie Foy on a street car a
bit of an infant in it's mothers arms
was screaming with all it's tiny might.
The tiny might with which it
screamed drowned the roar of fiat
wheel.
The mother tried to quiet the vocal
cyclone with bottle and by talking,
but the mite was too busy making
noises with it's mouth to use it on the
bottle and couldn't hear word of the
talk.
Suddenly Foy waved his hand
The shiny, little, distorted red face
relaxed. Two big, blue moons sailed
out from a cloud. They shone lam
bently on Foy.
"Goo!"
People began to laugh, and the fem.
mime contingent looked admiringly at
FOy.
In the midst of the laughter the in
FAINT was beginning again.
"Hush!" cautioned Foy, excitedly, to
the passengers. 1--WE got it bluffed."
Once more Foy executed his magic
gesture. The squall got worse.
Finally Foy desisted. He whispered:

Bryan's Revelation.

Bryan's reception in Indiana shows,
conclusively, that the Democrats of the
Middle West are not yet cured of the
free silver craze, with it's accompanying
visions. The silence Of the st. Louis
platform on the money question was elo-
quent. Parker's telegram satisfied the
New Workers and enabled them to pre-
sent ':gold standard" candidate to tho
conservative wing of the party, while the
silver wing was coolly set, aside to be
fooled and cajoled into good humor dur
ing the campaign.
AS a matter of fact, the rank and file
of the Democratic party stand on tho
money question and on all others just
where they stood in 1896. The logic Of
events has not convinced their reason,
because, on economic questions, they
have no reason.
Bryan, who could not carry Indiana
for himself, cannot, of course, carry that
State, or any other State, for Parker.
He has, however. revealed the ass which
hides under the lions skin, assumed, for
purpose, by once great national
party.

about his first meeting with Prof. Ira
Remsen, president of Johns Hopkins
university, back in 1871. Both were
students at Tubingen university, Ger.

other. Sir William lost his way. Ring
ing for long time at a door in the
rear Of the laboratory, he was, finally
answered by man with dirty face
and hands and dirtier overalls. T., IT,

The Little Japanese.

Once knew Japanese,
With little blue chemise,
Socks and sandals and a pretty paper
Lady foot and dandy hand,
Microscopically planned
And he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
He was neat and he was clean,
Most delightful to be seen;
He was spotless, he was spic and he
was span;
He was sugar, he was spice,
Happy tempered to vice;
And he didn't seem at all fighting
man.
He would greet you with smile
That would carry half a mile,
Sweet as summer, and expansive in its
plan;
He would nod his beaming noll,
Like polished little doll;
And he didn't seem at all a fighting
man.
Which is why I'd give lot,
Could I camp upon the spot,
Where he's winning bloody laurels for
Just to watch him wading in,
With that smile above his chin;
For he didn't seem at all a fighting
man. -

RACIAL GOOD WILL.

| Continuation of Prosperity Will Do
Much to Secure It.
The Democratic platform accuses the
Republican party of an attempt to kim
| die anew the embers of racial and sec
tional strife"
An incident at the recent American
Bankers convention in New York illus
trated the falsity of this statement and
how, on the contrary, the Republican
| party, by policies which promote the
business prosperity of the South, has
| promoted also feeling of mutual good
| will between the better elements, at least,
of the two races.
A colored banker from Richmond, Va,
John W. Mitchell, made speech which
brought forth tremendous applause, in
which the delegates from the South join
ed with the delegates from the North.
Mr.. Mitchell said he attended the con-
vention not only with the consent but
upon the advice, of the white business
men Of the South. He then went on to
show how the prosperity of the Southern
negroes was continually increasing, and
that this was leading all the time to 4
better understanding between the better
elements of the two races. AS to the
| email prosperity Of the South he said:
Do you know that we produce $172, 12s 200
worth OF crops year? Do you know that
OF the Southern prosperity our people pro-
duce heavy proportion Of the tobacco
crop? Do you know that we negroes pro
duce Salts, $3.50 worth Of wheat at 70
gone to $1.20 bushel? Do you know that
we. produce $40, 1856 II worth Of oats? DO
you know that we produce $215,926 43 worth
OF rye? Do you know that we produce $76A-
we rod"ce p'tsstSsi %o h' q
sweet potatoes? And do you know that We
produce SAG, $751;, 439. 20 worth of corn, max
ing total production of the negroes Of the
South Of $252, 437 $3.50 per year?
When he had finished, Col. Robert
Lowry, a Georgia banker, made an elo-
quent speech in which he said: 1T is the
| loafng negro and the loafing white man
that makes it hard;' and that 1T gives
me great deal of pleasure to hear from
our colored brother Of Virginia. He has
stated the facts, and am glad to have
him here"
Republican prosperity, like the rays Of
the sun, dispels gloom wherever it goes,
and, without distinctions as to section,
race, color or religion, makes men hap
pier, better and more mindful of their re-
sponsibilities to society. 1t fulflls in de-
tail w. J. Bryan's definition Of pros
perity which REACHES the masses and
then works up and through every. class"
THERE is NO BETTER WAY TO
HELP SETTLE THE RACE QUES-
aTION THAN TO GIVE THE COUN-
TRY FOUR MORE YEARS OF RE-
PUBLICAN PROSPERITY.

Buying from Abroad.

The less the United States, through a
protective tariff, imports Of the things
that its own labor at home can manu-
facture just as we'll as foreigners, the
more it is able to importer necessaries
and luxuries that cannot be purchased
at home. The consumption OF coffee per
capita in the United States, which in
1890 was eight pounds, is now twelve
pounds. Our imports Of sugar., teas,
spices, silks, laces, ETC., have increased
considerably during the last eight years.
With the American workingman sure of
a good home market for what he pro-
duces. it goes almost without saying that
he will have enough money to buy for
himself foreign luxuries that he could
not dream Of having in Democratic times.

been the actual cost Of the Philippines
up to June 80, 1904. sssS 4
The statement Mr.. Parker permitted
himself to repeat when he declared that
soyer 100000 lives have been sacrificed
is equally false. The total loss Of life
VI AucIlIdu t1VOPo tlAO y Wp4AAOo 80 SAS
American army from all causes has
amounted to 4,O67 privates and 155 Off
GERS, a total of 1922 men. Even adding
to this number the, loss Of Filipino in
surgents, liberal estimate Of which is
less than 10000, the grand total aggre-
gates $4,000, against Mr.. Parker's
100000. Moreover, the totals here given
include deaths from wounds, sickness,
drowning and other accidents, and, an
important contributory cause, the con-
tagious diseases which, unrestrained,
ravaged Americans and Filipinos when
American occupation began. Only 1885,
600 American soldiers, all told, have
been sent to the Philippines.
"As an offset to this loss Of life should
be set the magnificent work Of the army
medical corps and of the health officers
Of the Philippine Commission, whose
unremitting efforts have stamped out the
plague, reduced smallpox and other con-
tagious diseases to a minimum, and rem
dered the Philippines as healthful as
