DEMOCRATIC MANAGEMENT.
Is Better Than That of Their OppO-
 nents.

Walter Wellman Special to Chicago
 Record Herald.
 Around town the prevailing comment among newspaper men and politicians Is that the Democratic campaign mana .. gers. with all their troubles. and divid . ed authority, and discouraging outlook, really are playing the game better than their Republican rivals. No one goes to the Republican headquarters unless he Is compelled to as a matter of busl. ness, and once there he gets away as soon as he can, which usually is not very suddenly.
 Judge Parker is a charming man. 1t Is really great pleasure to sit down and chat with him. His eyes are bright and good humored He looks straight a you when he talks. His ruddy face bespeaks good health and good blood He is companlonable, at his ease, sim pie and dlgnified with a dignity that knows how to smile and crack a joke and not take itself too seriously; it Is far from being the dignity of the owl. He is not narrow or suspicious or con. stantly afraid some one is going 10 abuse his confidence. He talks frank ly. He has a true politicians excellent memory for faces and names: He never strains for effect either of cordiality or wittiness. He is natural. Men in. stinctively like him. In personal con tact he is not unlike Mckinley The more people he meets the more friends and admirers he will have. If th,s were a contest between President Roosevelt and Judge Parker for a seat in Congress. for instance and both were to make handshaking campaign. the Judge would have an excellent chance to win.
 Here is a curious phrase of the gov ernorship campaign in New York: The New York Sun, which supports ROosC. welt, prefers Herrink to Higgins. while The Evening Post which is enthusias tlc for Parker, cant stand Herrick.

UNSOLICITED FUNDS.
State Committee in New York Ha
 Ao

Sash 70 SpaEes
 New York Special.
 From the headquarters of the Demo- cratic State Committee the announce ment was made today that large made in the campaign fund since this second visit of Judge Parker to the city.
 Judge Parker did not come to the city to solicit contributions His idea was to perfect the natonal and State organizations. but the men with money, and many of them are identi- fled with the conservatism and per sonal strength of the presidential nom inee so much since his nomination. yes terday and today have been calling at his rooms in the Hoffman House
 Indirectly from there, hut directly through the State headquarters, comes the word that the campaign fund has been increased to such an extent as to assure the committee that ample means will be provided to prosecute q suc- cessful campaign.
 The Democratic campaign may be delayed several days. as Judge Her rick will first complete the work before him in the Supreme Court at Albany before before res;igning Sa;n and he wlI resign nomination. It Is now believed that all of the Democratic nominees will be notified at the same time and place. at Albany. Then the two parties. with their opposing armies of orators and literature distributors, will work to- ward each other and pass about the middle of the State.
 It now seems quite certain that the most vigorous fight will be made in Western New York, especially in Erie. Niagara and Chautauqua Counties Fries big vote, with, that of Greater New York. would swing the whole State, 1t Is believed. for the Demo- crats. Erie is debatable ground. The Republicans are just now in power there, but recent scandals in the mu- nicipal Government of Buffalo and oth- CT cause will contribute to the defeat of the Republicans, 1t is figured

he would if he left a wife and children behind him. but it seems to IS to be a very small business for the General os the, Army to set himself against mar riage. We understand that he wants the military laws and regulations so amended as to prohibit the marriage of any man while he belongs to the army. We don't know whether he would also require all married oficers and privates to secure divorces, but that would be a legitimate conclusion of his theory. W. decide that Corbin is a donkey.

What More should do.

Florala News.
 The papers of Texas are doing what more of them in this section should do. and that is doing their best to in duce cotton raisers to give up cotton and raise other crops. They cite many other crops al less expense than cotton and with more profit, in the end. If this can be done in that state where a bale to the acre is the usual crop, how can our farmers raise cotton at a profit when 1t takes two or three acres of av- craze land to raise a bale. Let the farmers do a little serious thinking.

THE COMING MODE OF TRAVEL.

Recently we noticed a prediction in The Ma aaufacturers' Record that before the expiration of ten years there will not be a street car track in any of the big cities of the United States. This opinion, It is stated, lis backed up by well-known mechanical and electrical experts, who believe that in a short time the electric car will be succeeded by the auto bus"
 This is interesting as a prediction, and 1t may be realized. Electric street ears are distinctly a modern innova .. :ion. They a,e a wonderful convenience when we'll managed. To be able to ride quickly and with comparative safety to almost any point in a city for i've cents or less is certainly a privi- iege, and to those who are not able to keep or hire a carriage, it Is a conven- ience that would be sadly missed, and especially in bad weather. That this method of travel in cities is popular Is amply proven by the crowds that are to be seen on the cars at all hours of the day or night when they are run ming. There Is no doubt about their popularity.
 And yet, admitting that they are a great convenience, and that we would find it hard to dispense with them. it must also be admitted that in some re- spects the system Is a great nuisance. The tracks are almost invariably laid on the hest streets and in soma "a saa there is barely room left for ordinary travel. The noise made by constantly passing cars is disturbing, and is a fre- quent cause of frightened teams and serious accidents. The overhead wires generally in use disfgure the streets and are often seriously in the way in case of fires. Besides all this. accidents occur by which people are run over and killed or maimed, and oftentimes q broken wire is a menace to life.
 Thus are the comforts and discom- forts, the advantages and disadvan- tages of the electric cars set against each other, but Is it easonable to SUD- pose that they will so soon go the way of the horse-cars and give place to
 
 That style of carriage is as yet only a novelty, but they are increasing won derfully in number, and may yet take the place of street cars and horse car riages. It must be apparent, however, that a great improvement must be made before horseless carriages can compete in economy with the street cars It may be that they will become so cheap and easily managed that they can com pete in fares with the cars and event ually put the latter out of use. It will be a long step forward. but long steps are very quickly made in this day of progress and invention. Thou know est not what a day may bring forth" says the proverb, and we know not how soon the noise and danger and street. disfguring street cars will give place to the swift and comparatively silent auto. If the time comes when one can step into an auto-car and be expeditI- ously and safely carried to any part of a city for a nickle, We will forget to feel any regret over the passing of electric cars. Let the time come soon, for 1t will be welcome.

Wonderful Opportunity Not to Be Lost

Editor The Advertiser:
 An opportunity of a century is open to Montgomery By a fortunate acci- dent, so we arc. told, she has in her reared an attractive cloud duster which will pack her hotels with won der seekers and shekel disbursers from the veriest ends of the earth. The ac- cident which made Court Square must have had this wonderful possibility in mind when 1t did it. But don't let us stop at twelve stories and don't make the thing plumb. Build 1t fifty stories and let 1t lean at an angle of 50 de- grees. Don't let rne leaning towers of Pisa stay ahead of us. Let us have more tilt and more height. And then. after 1t has been up century or two. blamed thing over

Enduring Fame of the Soldier.

Washington Post.
 "DulCc ct decOrum est pro patria mori'-thus it has always been and thus 1t will be so long as International disagreements continue to be settled by resort of arms. Not only do patriots deem it sweet and becoming to die for their country. but the memory of those who fall in defense of flag and country is cherished more sacrcdly than that of those who achieve the greatest and most benefiCient triumphs in the arts of peace. No other fame is so enduring as that of the military hero On no others are honors so gratefully be- slowed. This is demonstrated in the conclusively as in that of other coun- trys.

REPUBLICAN DIFFERENCES.
An Alleged Want of Cash for the Cam
 paign.


 Walter Wellman's N. Y. Special to Chi cayo Record Herald.
 Chairman -Cortelyou and Treasurer Bliss need money, and need 1t very bad ly, too. It Is an open secret that they are pretty nearly "broke." They have enough to pay the running expenses of the very elaborate and largely orna mental organization at the palatial | headquarters in Madison Avenue. but there Is no money in sight for campaign fighting. The Republican managers in | West Virginia want funds with which to handle" certain coal miners and timber cutters. but they can't get dol lar at headquarters. Harry New wants funds for Indiana, but none are to De hand Chairman Babcock and Secre- tary Overstreet of the Congressional Campaign Committee really are worried about the next House of Representa- tives. and would like more financial help from the National Committee. They are waiting with more or less pa | tience. There can be no doubt of one thing. Chairman Cortelyou Is a good organizer. The machine at headquar- ters in the beautiful marble building runs like a French clock. Everything is systematized down to a nicety. No employe can get a postage stamp or a bunch of envelopes. or a bottle of mu cilage, without filling an elaborate requisition blank, which must be O. K. d by several officials, until finally it re- ceives the initials of the chief himself. | Then, after the records have been writ 1 ten up properly and the duplicates filed the postage stamp or bunch of envel- opes, or whatever it is, is in due time issued Much the same is it with callers who want to see some one at 1 headquarters. You have to write your name. age, height, pedigree. etc, on o card, and then, if you have time to wait. which generally you have not, sooner or later you get to see your man. In every detail the organization is per feet, shipshape. careful, exacting, for nal. It Is just as complete as a gov ernment department at Washington and dispatches business at about'the same speed. Every one admires the perfec- tion of this organization. Some of the old fashioned politicians think 1t would be better to expend part of all this er !, campaign, but they must live and learn,

VIII Be silent During This Campaign Cumberland. Md, Special to New York
 Times.
 It Is positively known that Senator stephen B. Elkins will take no part in the Republican campaign, his appear ance at Parkersburg, West, Va, when he. presided over the Republican State Convention being his first and last Senator Elkins Is not criticised by the Republican leaders for his action, al- though the Democrats are extracting much comfort out of 1t as far as West Virginia is concerned.
 Elkins Is a power in the State, and his inactivity is hailed with pleasure by the Democrats. The Republicans are consoling themselves that Mir. FL kins's contribution to the Republican campaign fund is the largest he ever gave and he is let off at that. It is conceded on all sides that Senator FL kins could not well take the stump against his aged father-in-law, with whom he has always been so intimately associated in business.
 Further, Mrs. Elkins is known to be Democrat this year

AS soon as the rivers freeze up and the sleighs can be used, the rate will drop to SlOO, the same us it was last year.
 The regulations Termit the carriage of 25 pounds of baggage free. Excess baggage win cost 30 cents per pound. If there is more of the latter than the pa -senger stages want, the remainder Wiu be sent through on aS freight and 25 cents Der pound will be charged.
