ANOTHER PARKER ILLUSTOy.

Judge Parker undoubtedly owed his nomina-
ton 10 two illusions which had taken root at
St Louis. One was that in all matters of
party policy he would bow 10 the national con-
ventiOn's judgment. Assurances that he would
accept the Hill-Bryan platform as final were
given the convention by Mr. Littleton his agent
and sponsor. AS We know now, these assur-
nnces were worthless and fraudulent. The sec
ond Illusion concerned Judge Parker's record as
a vote getter IN this State 1t was fostered as
sedulously by Messrs. Hill, Sheehan and Little
ton as was its equally mistaken but equally
serviceable companion impression. Possibly a
majority OF the Southern and Western delegates
went away from 81. Louis convinced that Judge
Parker showed IN New-York in 1897 capacities
as a vote gette- unapproached by any Democrat
who has since stood for Office in this State
But examination this second Parker iilu-
sion. effective with Southern and Western
'tenoerfeet," is seen 10 be as unsubstantial as
the first
II is true that Alton B. Parker was chosen
chief judge Of the Court CT Appeals in this
State IN 1897 by plurality of 60,SS9. It is also
true that since 1897 no candidate for office run
ming on straight Democratic ticket has been
elected in Ncw-Iork. These facts give n cerl
tain color TO tie claim made at st. Louis that
Judge Parker has already demon strated his ex-
ceptional strength before The people: but a

Parker made bis canvass, and an ANALYSIS of
the vote by which be was elected reveal the
hollowness OF the argument used in his behalf

( the Kansas City convention that he must not
be considered candidate in case the money
question was ignored. The prevailing temper
in the convention, shared in by many of his
own friends, was for a policy of evasion. He
would have none of it If the party wanted him
for its leader it must be straightforward. He
would not run on platform which did not ex
press his convictions, and he did not wait till
he had the convention bound hand and foot be
fore he told what they were, and gave chance
for those who disagreed with him TO vote for
somebody else.
1t was such clear and stirring courage which
awakens The Evening Posts" enthusiasm.

rather be right than he President. His right

The Evening Post is greatly reioiced at
the discovery of "a man" The vision of

and dictate its principles is as welcome as if

Now they are for Il very man on horseback

millions. Good for the Democratic despOt! But
even he is not new. Mr. Bryan Wore the same
military boots which so excite admiration on
Judge Parker. When he marshaed the Kansas

dealing with the people THE Evening Post
paid tribute to his exhibition of personal power

NEW AMERICAN GOLD FIELDS.

In "Cassier's Magazine" for July Day Allen
Wiley discusses recent discoveries of gold in
the United States and the prospect of others jim
the future. None OF the incidents to which he
refers arc at all comparable with the sensa-
tional revelations of 1919 with the history
Of the Comstock Lode. which began in 1879.
They do not match the Klondike craze or the
developments at Cape Nome. Nevertheless
they are strongly suggestive. and Indicate that
the sources of supply in this country are not
fully known even yet.
One of Mr. Willcys stories relates to the re-
wards which attended a prospecting tour by
james l.. Butler, District Attorney Of Nye
County. New, in 1900. After pushing south
ward over the Manhattan Mountains he found
outcroppings of rich quartz near a spring named
Tonopah. More than hundred mining plants
have been erected there since that time. about
100000 has been invested in one way or an
other. and ore enough las been taken out TO
yield S4,OOO,OOO, Onethird of which represents
gold and the rest OF it silver Mr. Wiley also
tells about the discovery of high grade of ore
at Thunder Mountain, Idaho late in 1901 No
figures are given in regard to the output but
stress is laid on the fact that this is the first
important find of gold in quartz in that State
though placer mining has been In progress there
for forty years.
In a number of the States whose yield of
precious metals was small eight or ten years
ago there has been rather remarkable growth
Oregons output is a third larger now than it
was in 1895, South Dakota's is doubled and
Utahs is nearly quadrupled With California
and Colorado at the head of the procession (pro-
ducing together fully one-half of the gold of the
country, or course these gains must not be re-
garded as much more than symptomatic They
are not without significance though, especially
when coupled with the assurances given by as

POOR HILL!
From The Globe.

Not the least of the troubles of the much troubled
Mr.; Hill IS that the defence he is compelled 70
make FOR his surrender to Bryan ST Louis II
calculated TO discredit Judge Parker This defence
IS that II he had not yielded. and had revealed
Judge Parker a gold standard man. Judge Par
ker could not have been nominated According 20
this explanation Judge Parker owed his 665 votes
TO a bargain
Mfr Hill by thus in effect saving that IL Judgs
Parker had been frank twenty -four hours earlier
he would have been defeated. gives color to tia
complaint for time so loudly made at St Louis
that the nomination was the result OF trick. and
that Judge Parker having received the benefit &C
crutng 10 him under certain terms of agreement
had no right to violate its other terms. This was
the thought which Mr.: Bryan expressed when hs
declared that although IL manly for Judge Par
ker to speak before the convention adjourned II
would have been more manly II he had spoken be-
fore he was nominated

portant advances in metalurgy in the last ten
or fifteen years has been the use of processes
for separating gold from low grade ores. Their
wide adoption in this country is one Of the ex-
plantations of the steady increase which has
been observed in the total production OF gold
in the United States. Since 1895 this has
amounted TO or exceeded 90 per cent. 1t is evil
dent, however that other causes have contrib
uted to the result. Deposits have been found
which We're unsupported ten or fifteen years
