silk cord and tassel.
Ribbon stocks made pretty and dainty

made and tied in a chic little bow in
the front while you wait, and all for
the price Of the ribbon.

Judge Parker.

New York Times. ,..s. --
 When the candidacy of Judge Parker has been under discussion Democrats in other States and in this State have been heard to say that they knew very little about him. Was he a strong man? Was he able, safe, conservative, and the mas ter of his own mind and acts? What were lis views upon public questions? :? These are some of the. questions that have been asked by Democrats. A satls- factory answer to one of them, at least, has been furnished by the words of Judge Parker under the trials and temp tat1ons that beset every American whose fellow-citizens suggest or advocate his nomination for the Pre- esidency,
 Many Democrats have besought Judge Parker to make some public expression of his views upon the questions of the day, to write q letter, or in some other way to indicate his willingness to permit time more or less directly imparting to his cotntrymen that larger information about himself which they manifestly wish to have. To these entreaties, which in some instances have come from Dem ocrats in other States than New York Judge Parker has cOurteously but with degree of firmness which put further mportuning out of the question. replied that his character and his public service upon the bench ought to enable his fel- low-Democrats to determine what man. ner of man he is. At any rate, he could not by any act or utterance put himself m the position or seeking to Influence the councils of the Democratic Party Such course would ce an obvious i'm propriety.
 Does net this give a pretty good meas ure of Judge Parker's strength. of char acter? Under the promptings of the Presidential ambition very few of our statesmen, even of our greatest, have been able to refrain from exhibitions of interest and anxiety often unbecoming and undignified. The bee" is a terri ble confuser of judgment.
 We presume Judge Parker is not in- direrent to what is going on about him But he is not seeking the nomination The course he has followed has been one or perfect dignity and propriety We fee! sure that even those Democrats who have wished for some public avowal from his lips or his pen must now see that his reticence was dse, fis refusal to comply with their wishes well judged We feel sure, too, that confidence tn Judge Parker's mental equipoise and soundness has been enhanced by his de- termination to hold aloof from political discussion. A weak man in his trying position would have been likely to hlun. der Judge Parker has made no mis- take.
 It now appears that the advocates of Judge. arker's nomination will be in a majority Tn the State Convention and will control Its action. In all probability delegation instructed for him will he sent 10 St. Louis. New York win thus early be in the position of offering for the consideration of the Democrats in other states the name of a candidate tha candidate of It's choice. a candidate ,nh1 the State. N'44 J

Suffrage in Virginia.

Richmond Times Dispatch. Sl
 Attorney General William A. Anderson. oi Virginia, and his associate. Mr. Frank W Chrstian. have just filed with the United States supreme court the reply Of Virginia tc the argument made by Mfr. John S. Wise oi New York. in the suffrage eases brought by him to test the legality of the new constitution of Virginia. The whole argument of Messrs. Anderson and Christian is summed up in this expression: "The vice is not in the. laws but in their administration. The laws are valid and constitutional, but their adrninistra- tion Is in such cases illegal" we are unwil- ling to belive' they continue. .that this court will ever take the illogical and falla- cious position that any valid and constitution al enactment can ever be made unconstitu- tional and void by unlawful partiality and unconstitutional administration of such law. If so hardly a law can be pointed out. either federal or state. which would go down before such rule" ;
 The Virginia law is all right in the letter. and we believe that so far it applies to the black man 1t has been properly administered. It has been administered in favor Of the white man, as was intended by the framers of the constitution, but it is no injustice to exclude from the suffrage black man who Is not Com potent to vote, and we do not believe that any considerable number of black men in Fir- ginia who are qualified to vote have been ex- cluded If in any case black man was un- fairly excluded, he had under this same con- stitution the right of appeal to the court of competent Jurisdiction, and in case of an un- favorable decision, the further right of appeal from that court to the highest court of the state. .t
 If the law is to be attacked at all. should be on the ground that white men were improperly admitted to the suffrage It can not as we have said be fairly attacked or the plea that any considerable number Of olaeh men have been unjustly excluded
 And this is true, in spite of the hystertca sayings of John s. Wise. Y

cree was of course inevitable. for in our
 times there has been no such glaring
 usurpation by the Executive. If it is
 possible for the administration to meas
 ure proportionate disability for .seif-sup-
 port merely by age, and 10 declare thHf all veterans of @ are ipso facto on the Invalid list, what law on our statute
 books can be regarded as safe should it's perverslon serve Presidential ambitiOnsY No wonder the Washington correspond ents speak of .'consternation'' among the Republican Senators, Mark well that these political veterans are not 0verecru- pulous after the fashion of whlmpering Mugwumps. When they question the President it is not for any ordinary stretching of his powers; the very form of the challenge suggest the iniquity 1t searches out. "H'Ay much will 1t cost?' the Senate asks. Never before, we be- lIeve, has President presumed to give away millions of the public moneys with out line in the statutes which clearly justifies that expenditure. No ofiicer of the Treasury should pay out a cent on this ruling. But we hardly anticipate that the President will venture to have the case tested in the courts. It would
 be far less humiliating to make his res treat now, while public indignation is still only gathering; but no retraction can
 gloze the sombre fact that President Of the United States has sanctioned gi-
 gantic raid on the Treasury In behalf Of his political supporters. es

Curious Discovery.

writer in the New York Evening Post presents this curious and somewhat interest ing statement: I found that all wars deslg- mated by a single word contained in that word the name of the conquered cornbatant. Going far back into history-the. Trojan war was won by the Greeks, Troy being be- sieged and captured. In the Punic Car thagian) wars the Carthaginians were defeat- ed and Carthage captured by the Romans The ''Napoleonic'' wars. so called, ended m the defeat and capture of Napoleon. The Indian war of ts41 resulted in the estaD- lishment by Great Britain of its control of the Indian Empire. The Mexican" war was won by the Americans; the "Crimean war ended in the defeat of Russia by the allied armies dS56l The "Schleswig- Holstein war was lost by the Danes, who surrendered schlesyig- -Holstein to the Austro- Prussian coalition. The ''Boer'' war fell to the Brit ish. Now, when came to wars with hyphen- ated names I discovered that the power hrsl named was invariably the loser; Thus the ..Austro- Prussian' was won by the prus- slams at the battle of Sadowa. The Franco Prussian'' war ended at Sedan. with the de, feat of the French Qs70 The "China-Jap
 war found the Japanese conquerors. The .'C;reco-Turkish' war brought victory 10 tne Turks. the spanish American war to the Americans. If '''signs of the times stand for anything, the "Russo-Japanese war should end in victory for the Japanese

Major screwg,s Position.

To The Advertiser
 In response to the suggestion for a declaration of opinion on the part of can didates for election as delegates to the Democratic National Con- vention as to the candidacy of MT. Hearst I beg to say that I am opposed to his nomination. believing that 1t is a menace to harmony and success. There are scores of good Democrats in the East. West and South who would make strong candidates for the Demo- cratic party, and if I should be honored with selection as one of Alabama's rep resentatives at St. Louis I would go with no fixed purpose to advance any mans claims. 1 would be governed by condi- tions as they may exist at the time of the assembling of the convention, and be animated by desire to adopt such a platform and nominate such a ticket as would commend themselves to the party In the pivotal States, whose electoral votes are absolutely essential to suc- cess. Yours truly.
