With something like thousand buyers bidding for goods, each one fully alive to the advertising poSsibili- ties involved, the prices ob- tained for the Sweetser, Penn brook stock were NOT es- pecially low.

Hon. James Hay has been declared
the Democratic nomineeior Congress
from the Seventh district OF Virginia
by the Congressional Committee OF
that district, there being no oppos-
ing candidate. 1t is a deserved com
pliment to Mr.. May that there was
no opposition. He has done bic
work so well in Congress and has
so faithfully represented his district
and State that his party could not
dispense with his services. He will be,
as he has heretofore been, a valuable
man In the House to prevent mis-
chievous legislation by Congress II
the Republicans remain in power,
and he will be a leader In reforms II
the Democrats shall be successful.
SO, regardless Of which party has con-
troll, Mr.. Hay is an important man in
Congress, and should be returned to
continue his good work.

The threatened suit In the Wentz
suicide case, to vindicate the jury Of
inquest In its verdict, will not be
brought, so We are informed. After
the body OF the unfortunate young
man was found, who was supposed
by his family tohave been murdered,
an inquest was held, the jury being
composed OF the best men in the COM
munity, and a verdict OF suicide was
rendered. The result was not accept
ed by the father, who still believed
he was murdered, but what offended
she jury was newspaper report In
which it was claimed that DR.. Wentz
declared his belief that the jury rem
dered the verdict Of suicide to
shield their friends who murdered
young Wentz. This riled the jury
which threatened suit for damages,
whereupon the Doctor denied max
ing the statement and expressed his
disapproval OF Republication to the
jury. The matter will probably end
there.

1T WILL NOT BE HEARST.

As the time for the Democratic Con-
vention approaches, the question as
TO who will be the nominee oil the
marty becomes more and more uncer-
tain. At one time it was generally
concluded that Judge Parker would
carry off the honors, and there ap-
peared to be a stampede ON loot 10
get on his band wagon. In the last
two weeks, however, German, Cleve-
land and Folk have come so promi-
nently to the front as to occasion
some uneasiness in the Parker camp.
The impetus which Judge Parker's
candidacy had at the outset was IN
doubtedly due in part to the lear
among conservatives that the Hearst
movement would gain such a start
that it might be hard to check, and
Judge Parker, being the first eandi-
date mentioned around whom con-
sentative Democrats could gather
was used as a means OF checking the
Hearst boom. Since that seems TO
have been effectually done, the party
leaders, upon second thought, are be-
ginning to wonder whether Parker
is really the strongest candidate TO
offer in opposition to Mr.. Roosevelt
Is well known fact that Judge
Parker is not the choice oiTammany,
without whose ardent support there
is grave doubt whether he can carry
New York State, and failing to carry
New York means defeat for the party
again. II this is true the leaders
have done well to pause, now that
they have practically, in the eyes oil
the public, purged the party OF she
saint OF Populism, and prepare for
she selection of the strongest posi-
BILE candidate. Is is reasonably GER
tain that nearly every delegate who
goes to the st. Louis Convention Tor
any other candidate than Hearst
can be relied upon to vote for some
safe, conservative man in the final
round up. 1t is Hearst against the
field, and one OF the field will win.

Is RUSSIA FOR pEACEq

Recent reports from the seat oil war
intimate that Rus STA is about to OIL
fer terms OF peace, which involve "a
Japanese protectorate over Korea
and the concession that Manchuria
is Chinese territory. 1t is even re-
ported that the war party at st. Pe-
tersburg favers this course in the
near future in orderto prevent Great
Britain from having hand in the
restoration of peace. Ii is hard To
credit these reports until they are
definitely confirmed. Russia, 1t Is
true. has sustained disaster after dis
aster since the outbreak ofhostilities,
without single important succe's
to her credit, and is hardly conceiv-
able that, after the expenditure OF all
the money which her campaign up
80 the present time has cost, that
she will abandon her claims lii the
far East at least until she has !rled
conclusions with tine Japs on what
she will admit are somewhat even
terms. To make peace now wouid
he n severe blow to Russian prestige
both mt home aud aboard. IL Woulo
seem. therefore, that it would be bet
ter, il possible, to gain some decided
advantage over the Japanese army
before proposals for peace are sub
United. 1t is a well known fact that
while Russia has an enormous stand
ing army sheis forced to keep a large
proportion OF is at home TO protect
the government from her Internal
foes. who are little less dangerous
than the Japs. and it is highly prob
able that affairs at home are re-
sponsible in some degree at least Tor
the uncertainty of Russian move
ments in Manchuria. 1t seems to be
fully realized at st. Petersburg that
whether victory or defeat tend
Russia's arms, she must emerge from
the contest greatly weakened, and
that in all probability, in the end, a
change in her inner government Will
be wrought.
