MONDAY. OCTOBER s1. 1904.

A. H. Spink. president of the St Louis World Publishing company, act ing as his own attorney. has filed suit in the circuit court against Joseph W. Folk. Charles F. Kelly and George Knapp & Go, publishers, for $5o.O01. alleging that his compensatory dam ages are $1, but to prevent the defend ants from perpetrating such wrongs in the future and to punish reckless libelers and to give them n wholesome lesson in speaking the truth he asks that the punitive damages be fixed at $50.OOU He further states that the publications of which lie complains will in all probability be believed by very few persons because of the repu- tation yof the defendants for truth and veracity, and that the consensus of opinion is that the article complained of is false. defamatory and libelous. The suit is based upon an editorial which appeared in the St Louis Repup~ lie commenting upon Kelly's confes- sion.

ONLY sTRAWs. BUT

Here are number of "straws" which show how the wind blows at the present time. The Baltimore Her ald sent out 2,50o postal cards to vor- CTS asking how they voted in 1900 and how they would vote this year. A cer- tain number of names were taken at random from each ward in the city. Answers were received from 545 vot- CTS. Of these 1SS' said they had, voted for Mckinley four years ago, and would now vote for Parker; 19O had voted for Bryan, and were now for Parker; 145 who were for Mckinley would be for Roosevelt; and 9 of the Bryan men would vote for Roosevelt
 A few days later the Herald sent similar requests to 300 members of the Baltimore Stock Exchange and Cham Der of Commerce. Replies are still coming in, but the showing at this time is as follows: 35 who voted for Mckinley will vote for Roosevelt; 34 who voted for Mckinley will vote for Parker; 2S who voted for Bryan will vote for Parker, and ? who voted for Bryan will vote for Roosevelt. Tn ad- dition, F who did not vote in 1900 are for Parker, and 2 who voted the prohi- bition ticket are for him. From these figures the Herald estimates that Par ker's ma iority in Baltimore will be at least 1000, or gain of nearly 14,O0O over 1900, while the same percentage, would give Maryland to Parker by pos sibly 10000
 Down in Boston harbor there is a little fishing town called Hull It has but few hundred voters. and they al- ways get to the polls on election day and get there early. The vote of this town Is sometimes bulletined in Boston by noon-time, though the polls are not officially closed until o'clock. As far back as Jackson's' time it used to be said: "As goes Hull so goes Massachu- setts." There are 3s0 voters enrolled in Hull this year, and 265 of them have told the Boston Post how they intend to vote: Parker, 40; Roosevelt, 125. Four years ago the vote of Hull was Mckinley, 137; Bryan, 76. Hull will go democratic this year for the first time since 1892, when it gave Cleve- land 95, Harrison 45.

Hartford Times. Perhaps the strangest use to which music can be put is to stop the flow [ of blood from wound. An army doc tor noticed that when pounded sol 1 dier was taken to within an easy hear ing distance of music. hemorrhage was greatly reduced or stopped. Neither he nor others, who confirmed his ob- seryations, could understand how this l phenomenon was brought about, but 1 it is now said that the vibration of the air produced by the music causes the patient to become faint. in which case the action of the heart is so consider ably lessened that the overflow of blood is reduced. It is not explained whether or not the street hurdy gurdy is superior to other musical instru- ments in producing the necessary faintness. New York Tribune.

trend of political sentiment comes from California. state universally conced- ed to the republicans by large major ity. and claimed by the republican rainbow-chasers by 10000. The San Francisco Chronicle, the leading re- publican newspaper of the Pacitic coast, has taken postal card poll. sending out some 4,OO0 cards. divided between workingmen, small shop keepers, and men of large affairs. The 2.000 answers received point to re- duction of the republican majority in California to 17,00O. A similar poll made in Los Angeles by the Herald of that city, also republican newspaper, gives startling results. The democrat ic gains foreshadowed are so large that if general throughout the state. Roosevelt would carry California by less than 4,OO0 majority.
 The Democrat poll in Waterbury shows that Parker leads in this city. He leads Roosevelt in the total num- Der of votes. straight, as we'll as in the number that will change over. The vote at last accounts was 95 for Par ker, S4 for Roosevelt; 21 who wdll change from Mckinley to Parker, and 9 that will change from Bryan to Roosevelt Not quite one-half of the cards sent out have been returned. From the above it will be seen that Parker should have majority of from 300 to 600 in Waterbury.

'sIn the nomination of Judge Alton B. Parker said Jesse R. Grant, son of the ex-president and famous gen. eral, tthe democratic party has found a candidate whose personality and home life are strikingly agreeable. It should be gratifying to all true Ameri- cans, irrespective of party, to realize that the unpretentious citizen, the plain American, and the honest judge, has been placed in nomination for the higest office in the gift of the Amer1- can people, by one of the<great politi- cal parties. The demand for higher ideals in political life and for political concepts and policies in keeping with the advanced spirit of the age Is fast taking root among thoughtful and patriotic citizens, be they wage work CTS or mdllionaires. and the champions of the republican stand pat policy may be confronted with the stubborn theory that the world moves ever on- ward, with the process of the suns The success of the democratic party in this election would mean that the gov ernment should be republic in fact as we'll as in name. This is most inn portant, as the present tendencies are decidedly toward centralization, and, therefore, in the direction of imperial ism. The corruption which permeates
 many branches of the present admin istration is to be condemned. This, however, is the natural consequence of long continued power by one party, grown arrogant and confident of it's success but the standardization program of the republican party is the greatest menace that now confronts the people All clements of the democracy should unite in the effort to elect the broad minded and upright standard bearer of the party whose success will afford the surest path to future harmony and victory
