In Japan there is no such thing as
sdisrespect from youth to age. No

The thing that's most conspicuous round

But the public still suspects there's

In the cold and shady distance they're
remaining,

alone.
Their base presence no more casts a dark
reflection

For the candidates declared he never

He repeats it while the white robed are
around;
Then he coyly turns one ear to earth and
To instruction from the subway under
ground.
And August smiles sereneiy DER at
Dayy,
And Dave looks back and winks the
other eve;
And all the while they keep right on ar

DEMOCRATS ADMISSION.

PARKER'S DEFICIT SCARE.
II Is kasiiy Exploded by an Appeal
to Fncts and Figures.

The Ulster County candidate, labor
ing hard over Judge Parker's speech TO
the faithful Democratic editors, scissored
out some statistics with which to ham
mer the Repu ublican administration. But
while the judge was toiling over his
empty sentences.
"His eogiiative faculties Immersed
In cosibundity Of .ogitstion.''
his aptitude for fgnres went on q vaca-
ton and he prepared. or accepted, some
very queer conclusions. which he gave
TO the admiring editors with much pomp
and circumstance
The trouble is that the Ulster County
politicians deficit is not q defcie at
all. when h comes to realities. The Re-
publcans delightedly accept the chal-
tenge of the Democratic candidate, for IL
gives them a chance to show . few sta
tistics themselves.
"Jndge Parker asserts" says q Wash
ington Dispatch to the Chicago Chron-
iele. that there is now a deficit of S42.-
100000. instead Of a surplus of $50. 600, :
600. which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming President Both statements are
reckless, as o careful examination of
the records of, the treasury will show.
In regard to the deficit. the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1904. show an apparent deficit
OF $40.0O0.O00 in round numbern, but
during that time the United States paid
O.0O0. 600 for a Panama canal and ad
vsnced $4.50O.000 to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition, which latter amount Is
to be returned TO the government. II
Mr.. Parker will deduct his apparent def
cit Of $42,OOO.O00 from the S34,5OO, 600
paid for the purchase OF the Panama
canal and the encouragement Of an ex-
position Of worldwide scope and impor-
tance. he would find a balance Of S12,-
100000 and upward on the other sids Of
the ledger"

The Gold Democrats Of Indiana are
