his famous telegram at tlc ST. Louis
convention, Daily Judge Parker is sur
rounded by the ShcchaHs. ONBricns and
the McDonalds of Tammauy. There is
no hiding from an arsus-eyed people, and
the best proof Of Judge Parker's lack

that he does not know that his associa-

AWKWARD QUESTIONS.

Democrats Object to Answering FL
nnncial lnterrogatorics.
When the gold" message of Alton B.
Parker reached the Democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis William ]. Bryan sug-
gested that the currency views of Mr..
Parker ought to be more explicitly de-
fined in some detail, and that the con-
v@cntion therefore should prepare a list
of questions connected with various
phases of the currency issue for the can
didate to answer, but Master of Cere-
monies Williams rushed to Parker's de-
tense with the statement that the can
didate should not be asked to answer "A
LOT OF FOOLISH QUESTIONS"
This was the same public be id"
attitude that arrogant corporations used
to a in refusing to answer questions
of pertinent interest to their stockhold-
ers or to the general public. until the
Republican party remedied matters by
passing a law compelling publicity, and
especially established the Bureau Of
Commerce and Labor to secure it.
Mr.. Bryan, all the Democrats in the
convention at st. Louis, and in fact all
American voters of whatever political
belief, had a perfect right to expect de-
tailed and explicit publicity from Candi-
date Parker of his views on government
al financial policies, so that they could
know whether or not, or to what extent
his views were their views. But this
publicity was denied them, because the
managers Of the convention deemed it of
more Importance to protect their candi-
date from questions which he would not
want to answer for fear of making a
break" than to protect the voters of the
country from possible misunderstanding
as to financial views which might not
bear the limelight of public discussion.
The managers of a corporation con-
Quoted on unsound lines are always apt to
consider as foolish questions, which,
if answered, might result in an expose.
And it is the same way with the Demo
cratic managers, who think their only
safe policy on the currency question is
tn refuse to give information as to what
their policy really is.

The Vermont Land.lide.

Chairman Billiard of the Vermont
Democratic State committee said. the
night before the election: I'VE feel that
il the figure (of the Republican plural
ity) is below $4,000 this year it is a
sure indication that the national election
will go Democratic"
Well, the Democratic manager himself
made the estimate. He counted the
chances of the Democratic party in the
present campaign as might be indicated
by the September vote in his own State.
Representing his party. he made the
estimate and the result has been appall-
ins-for the Democrats-the Republican
plurality being 31.50O. There has beef
a Republican landslide of about one.

Constitutional Club in heha': of Judge
Parker. gives the following reasons for
his support of President Roosevelt:
president Roosevelt apl,ea:s favor
ably to me because his administration
has given to the country a progressive
and liberal management of its affairs.
Through its agency the United States
has received the valuable privileges re-
lating to the construction of the Panama
canal, privileges which would not, and
could not, have been acquired but for
the firm and determined position quickly
taken by the President. Furthermore.
the present method Of dealing with the
Philippine question seems to me to be
the only practical solution OF that
difficult problem"

Politics in New York is hard and iron
bound; 1t is without sentiment, and has
no principle save the principle Of success.
This is as true Of country as Of town, as
Victory is the only virtue, defeat the only
crime-in New York. Judge Parker knew
these things; he saw no visitors, courted
no dreams, lapsed into no frances. Pa
tiently, practically, he added one man to
another, and the two to somebody else, un-
til the result Of his additions was the con
troll OF the county Of Ulster"
The steady success of Judge Parker,
his even, business methods, cold and
bloodless in calculation and results, at
tracted the attention and the favor of
David Bennett Hill. In 1885, when Mr..
Hill was about to make his first can
vass for the %governorship of New York,
he chose for the practical manager Of
the age of thirty-three years Judge Park
elected his man.
Mr.. Hill, early in his administration
as Governor, rewarded his faithful man
aser by appointing him to the Supreme
Bench of the State of New York. Judge
Parker has, practically speaking, occu-
pied the Supreme or the Court of APP
peals bench ever since.
There is Judge Parker's public record.
A practical politician, a manager of
campaigns, a discovery and protege Of
David Bennett Hill!
And now, at the end of this plain, I'M
vanished tale, it remains to be noted
that from beginning to end there is not
set down in all the pages devoted to
Judge Parker and his candidacy one
single ueterance of inspiration, enthusi-
asm. patriotism, or even one word sug-
costing a broad and generous apprecia-
ton of public needs and public interests,
small or great, in all the years during
which Judge Parker has "handled'' local
campaigns.
HE councillors.
Next to a mans acts. judged by his
avowed motives, there is no safer guide
to his character and his mental qualities
than his choice of associates and fellow
workers. Turning from the meager tale
of Judge Parker's political life to his
political counselors and intimates, whom
do We find?

There is some talk Of increasing
The pay of our national law.
y akers 1t should be done. Their.
was a time when S., 900 year was
"a pa, Ior II CuEgres,in II, ~4
nat time has passed. This = :
day of larger salaries, and, as q
rule, good men will not sacrifice
their financial interests for the
mere sake of writing NJ. c., after
heir names.
Some day the pay OF representa-
tives and senators will be in
creased, but that day is probably
far distant. No member of either
house is bold enough now to in
troduce bill providing for an ad-
!ance in pay. Intelligent and
reasonable voters would hardly
protest against an increase in the
compensation of the national law
makers, but Congressman are
fraid that some OF their consti-
uents might have a niggardly
urn of mind and raise a howl at
he extravaganza on the part of
Uncle Sam. But in this season Of
proposed changes in the organic
Jaw and traditional observances,
Congress should increase the pay
Of Cabinet officers and foreign
ambassadors.
The country will not suffer by
keeping Congress down to a S., 1000
oasis, but the high cost of main
tanning the dignity of Cabinet
position makes it next to impos-
sible for the President to 90 out
side the millionaire circle when he
selects his official household; and
the same is true of the prominent
foreign positions. This is a great
and progressive nation and the
government should pay its officials
adequate salaries, and not depend
on securing the services of men
for high duties who are willing
and able to supplement their
necessary expense accounts on
their private means.
