A Wise Decision.

Some Western Democrats, especially
those in the Hoosier belt and the Windy
City, are grieved because Judge PARKER
has reconsdered his reported intention
OF going to the st. Louis fair and making
sort of Western progress.
That reconsideration is not likely to
he reconsdered While it may rest on
the ground of dignity the fact seems
to be that Judge PARKER is not an orator.
He is not called upon to be one. His quail
iications are of a more solid char acter,
1t might be supposed that in 1893 and
1900 the Democrats had all the wander
ing eloquence they needed. They have
paid with two defeats for one famous
Crown Of Thorns speech Of their silver
god. Surely they need no more talking
candidates.
Judge PARKER would be received by
immense crowds should he visit the
Western cities, but the experience of
MIR. BRYAN has shown that the size of
a crowd has no relation to the size of
a candidates vote.
II Judge PARKER is to be elected he
will be elected because Of great change
in the political opinion Of the country.
The real independent vote will have gone
to his side. Speeches and tours and
fireworks and huzzaing will have no
effect upon the decision. Be it a question
Of principles or of men that is to be set
tied, the talk of candidate. the intro
duction Of a candidate to a few thou
sands of his fellow countrymen, will be
insignificant. Curiosity is the main
motive of the crowds that go to see,
what few of them can hope to be, candi-
date for President.
Judge PARKER will not lose any votes
by staying at home. He was not nomi-
mated on account of any gifts of rhetoric
or gesture or presence. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. CLEVELAND was
not elected for his oratory or his beauty
nor did he find it necessary to exhibit
himself to the public

Red-Haired Temp permanent.

Our neighbor the Times has a psy-
chologist at Esopus. The Times seems
to he little dissatisfied with the tran
quill and voiceless character attributed
to Judge PARKER. So the psychologist
has examined him and made this report
He Is a red haired man. with red haired man 5
temperament. and bis face Is high coored clear 10
the eyes.
Yet the red haired Temperament, IL modified
by judicial habit Of mind"
A temperament not too red haired, but
just red-haired enough. The red-haired
temperament has its dangers The Hon.
Tom WATSON has one, and it is not quail
fed and made harmless by the judicial
division.
Besides the modified red-headed tenn
permanent and look, belied by "the black
mustache and pale, students face"
shown in his photographs, Judge PAR
KER has another characteristic which
endears him to the Times, but will dis
tress some other observers
Daily the newspapers have given the roster of
those who came TO the Judge, and doubtless
many who have read It have imagined that the
visitors came 10 make dlckers and deals or TO post
the lll-inforned candidate about what he must do
and about local conditions. The boot has been
on the other leg. They have come TO listen, not TO
talk. They have received Inform alton. not given
1t; and they have made no dickers and no deals
The boldest OF them have become aware very early
In the conversation that their candidate will listen
10 nothing OF the sort"
This is PARKER entirely different
from the laurelled bust, the PARKER of
the grave attentive eve and sealed lips.
This PARKER has the red-headed tenn
permanent and does all the talking.
ls this the real PARKER? Or Is it a
replica of the real or NEUROLOGICAL RoosE-
WELT? One more hunk Of psychology:

England's immigration Question.

While the immigration question ap-
pears on very much larger scale in the
United States than it does in England
it carries with it there certain serious
features which are of little or no i'm
portance here. Our labor market il
less crowded than is the English, and IL
our settlers were suitably distributed
we could even digest a greater number
than we now receive.
England's case is widely different.
Her own people are moving away be-
cause of their limited opportunities in
the home land. To an extent which
is clearly appreciable they are being
crowded out by an influx of q far less
desirable and alien population. This
obtains to such an extent that about a
year and half ago, there was organized
an Immigrant Reform Association, whose
general committee of 1875 members in
cludes many men of prominence in Eng
lish affairs. It's special purpose is to
inquire into all that relates to alien
immigration.
Its Investigations have led to con-
'iusioi WIG crime are
features of exceeding gravity, the eco
nomic evils which result from COMPETE
ton in the field of industry are equally
serious. A statement recently made
declares that allen male workers are
trying to support wife and family on
seven shillings a week-the instance is
not exceptional, but typical Alien
women are competing with native
women workers on wage of one shill-
ing week and space to sleep in"
There, as here these people flock to
the cities, and it is further stated that
by means of systematzed overcrowd-
ing, aliens of the poorest class have dis
possessed the native working populs-
ton from lO7 streets in six years in a
single East End borough"
In this respect England is infinitely |
worse of than we are. Scores of thou |
sands Of these people, more or less I'M
desirable temporarily or permanently,
may crowd in among us, but it will be
long time before enough Of them can
