Chairman Taqqart.

The election of Thomas Taggart as chairman of the democratic national committee means that the battle-ground Is to include the Middle West as well as the eastern states. MT. Taggart knows Indiana well, and hls knowledge of conditions in Illinois and Wisconsin Is ample. and he will make a brave and Bkillful fight all along the line.
 No doubt he will in accordance with custom, act as chairman of the cam paign committee, but in the appoint ment of that committee he is author lzed to go outside of the national com mittee for available timber. It has been suggested that MT. German be appointed to work up votes in Mary land, Delaware and West Virginia; MT. Sheehan to guard the interests of the party in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, and that a compe- tent manager be named to call out a full vote in Colorado and other far western states.
 MT. Taggart himself is in touch with Bryan democrats as well as with those who love Grover Cleveland. He is alert. energetic and uniformly success ful. He will soon name the campaign and finance committees, probably without awaiting the formal notifica- tion of the nominees, which will not take place ultil August 10. MT. Tag gart need not wait upon formalities. He needs all possible time for his great task, and he may as well get down to work at once. Mir Cortelyou has full month the start of him, but Judge Parker has been winning over voters in that month.

Carlisle to the Front.

From the Savannah Press.
 The announcement Is made from New York that John G. Carlisle, Cleveland s secretary of the treasury, will take the stump in that state for Parker He will devote himself especially to answering Roots arguments. Carlisle is most forcible speaker. a man whose high pub lie standing will insure him hearing, and whose arguments will be irresistible from a democratic standpoint. He Is thor oughly versed in the financial history of the country and can be relied on to ex- pose the duplicity of republican claims.
 Carlisles position in this campaign but indicates the stand that thousands of other old line democrats have already taken in the north. With exceedingly few exceptions all of the democrats who voted for Palmer or Mckinley eight and four years ago, and who are still living, have lined up behind Judge Parker. The indi- cations too, point to the enlistment of many thousands of independent republi- cans If democratic harmony is main tained there is not a single reason ap- parent why Parker should not carry New York state by a very substantial ma iority And If he carries New York state the same forces of public opinion will carry enough other states to Insure his election.

stronghold may not be assailed at all, letting it fall in it's own time.
 Mukden, the capital of the province, is about one hundred miles north of New Chang C the Harbin branch of the Siberian railroad. The occupation of Mukden by the Japanese Is a prob able event of the next thirty days, and when it is occupied the Japanese aggressive movements will probably be ended. Japan will then hold and fortify a line stretching from Mukden to the Yalu, and Russia will stand com pletely defeated. She will then have lost both Korea anu the better and more important portion of Manchuria, and there is no reason in the world why the Japanese should follow the retreating Russians to Harbin or to any other point north of Mukden. The holding of a Mukden-Yalu line will complete the Japanese campaign, and the irrepressible little warriors can we'll afford to sit down behind that line, letting Russia fret itself out in front of it. Nothing at all is to be gained by assailing the Russians who stay north of Mukden and the Yalu. All that Japan needs is Korea and the Liaotung peninsula, and these she will. firmly hold as soon as she seizes and fortifies Mukden. Kuropathn cannot hold Mukden against the army advanc- ing from the south,, simply because Kuroh is on hls flank ready to assail hi.a if he marcnes southward to attack General Oku. The Japanese now bid fair to gain and hold the Liao valley without fighting that heavy and criti- cal battle which St. Petersburg has long said they must fight. The Liao valley in which Mukden is located Is, or should be, the climax of the splen- did Japanese campaigns campaign that has not known a serious check or scarcely repulse.

New York Politics.

The republicans have apparently gotten things arranged in New York state to suit themselves. They have apparently induced Elihu Root to ac- cept their nomination for governor, agreeing to re-elect him in 1906, and to make him President in 1908 in success sion of Theodore I.
 This is a very fine programme, but Governor Odell, who is a power in the republican party in New York, does not much like the Root proposition, for 1t means his retirement from poli- tics, and he is not willing to accept obscurity, even to please MT. Roose- welt. Governor Odell's action in rela- ton to the t-Roosevelt plan does not seem to be determined He has no strong man he can bring forward in opposition to Root, and possibly he will acquiesce in the nomination of the exsecretary of war, but it is not req sonable to expect him to overworlz himself in electing man who will drive him out of politics.
 It now looks as if Mayor Mcclellan will become the democratic nominee. His nomination would bring out the full vote of Tammany, and he would poll large independent vote. He has confessedly made a good mayor, and the independent voter would say he would make good governor David B. Hill is said to prefer the nomination of John B. Stanchfield of Elmira, or else of Martin w. Littleton, lawyer of Brooklyn who placed Judge Parker in nomination. Mir. Littleton was born in Tennessee. The chances are. however, that Mayor Mcclellan will become the nominee, and the race be- tween the son of Little Mac" and Elihu Root would bring out full vote, and the democrats would have candidate who has alike a good rec ord and a great personal popularity.

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Tammany and the Ticket.
, the New York World.

From the New York World.
 Charles P. Murphy. the leader of Tam many hall has returned to New York and assured the reporters that Tammany will give Judge Parker our honest sup port" That goes without saying
 Tammany would not and could not re- fuse to support a regularly nominated democratic candidate for President. Were It's leaders to withhold support from national ticket they would soon cease to be leaders. Even in 1896. when the nom ination of MT. Bryan on free silver tick ct left the democrats of New York In a hopeless and discredited minority. Tam many dared not overturn the tradition of consistent regularity
 The significance of the quarres among the democratic leaders in the city and state has been grossly exaggerated. Some of these gentlemen are trying to better their own political futures by cutting the throats of their rivals. So far as the par ty is concerned 1t Is harmless amuse' ment.
 When the dead have been decently bur led and the wounds of the injured have been dressed and the gore wiped up the work of rolling up an unprecedented democratic majority between the Battery and the Westchester line will proceed without interruption or interference.
 The campaign has not begun yet and in both parties the period between the nomination and the formal opening of the campaign Is held sacred to the fac tional fighters and their feuds.

Treatment for Washers.

q noticed in a paper the other day that a Kentucky society belle put to rout a would-be masher who annoyed her with his attentions" said a lawyer. Now, 1t strikes me that the young lady did the proper thing, and if all mashers could be thus summarily dealt with they would not ply their trade so asslduously. Moth ing is more offensive to refined woman than to have lot of ill-bred boors star ing at her from the time she leaves her home until she returns there, and all ap- parently waiting for an opportunity to thrust their attention upon her. When l am with woman and have to. pass a group of these gentry I am always tempt ed to knock them down. but prudence bids me refrain"

MT. Dill on the Lusk Bill.

q am very anxious for the supreme court to render a decision on the Lusk redistricting bil' said Henry R. Dill. a well known lawyer, yesterday. If 1t is found that this bill is unconstitutional it is far better that it De settled as early as possible as serious complications will arise in all parts of the state. Hundreds of cases will have to be tried over and even where judgment was secured and executions issued a new suit could be brought and the old Judgment dismissed. If the sheriff had already levied the execution and turned the money over then a more serious complication would arise.
 'In my opinion," continued MT. Dill. "The bill is unconstitutional for the bill as passed by the senate was evidently not the one passed by the house. If the new law Is faulty it would be of vast benefit to the state to have 1t so decided before the newly elected judges take their seats and begin the hearing of the cases. So far the law is is in operation in but a few counties"

 GN IL day through the rattle and PH roar of the East Side the voice
 of Israel was heard, mourning. In the house of every orthodox Jew and in the dwellings of many Of small ortho- doxy there was quiet and sadness.

 It was the day of the Feast of Alb. the ninth day of the Jewish month of Alb. that day in 5S6 B. c. when the Chaldeans descended upon Jerusalem, sacked the city, defiled Solomon's temple and led the people into captivity. For over 250O years the day has been observed as a time of mourning for the dead, of supplication to Jehovah.
 Probably 3OoOO0 visited the cemeteries to mourn their dead. From sunrise to sum- set trolley cars carried Jews of every age and every condition in life to Wash
 
 Cypress Hills, Silver Lake and the other burying grounds. Thousands of these, unused to venturing dozen blocks from home, were like so many children in the rush and confusion of changing cars. Hustled out of danger by busy conductors and inspectors, their plaintive voices were raised in innumerable questions, com plaints and occasional maled:ctions.
 To Washington cemetery alone 5o,OOo went. Gray-bearded. dignihed rabbis, carrying themselves with the majesty of calling and birth, were pushed and show ed about In the great crowd of excited, nervous folk. There were women so old, so par rchment-skinned and weazened, that one wondered how the spark of life could still burn. There were young girls with that dazzling Oriental beauty and grace that none but Jewish women possess. There were mothers and babies by the thousand. There were the rich and pros porous merchants, well fed, satisfied with life. There were the very poor, in rags and fatters unwashed, but deeply pious and loud in lamentation.

 wrought. Sparkling with gems no wealth could

Aoe and the Presidency.

From the Baltimore Herald. The age of the democratic candidate for the vice presidency gives rise to some interesting comparisons of the ages Of those who have sought the high places in the popular gift.
 Among those whose wishes met suc- cess Elbridge Gerry, elected at the age or es, was the Nestor. Rufus King was 6d when he foated into power with Pierce. Gerry was the eldest. though Allen G. Thurman went into the contest of lSSs with the weight of 75 years on his shoul- ders.
 Grant was the infant prodigy of our chief magistracy. He was but forty-seven when inaugurated Cleveland was the next youngest, being forty-eight when he entered the White House. Pierce and Garfield followed. being two years older than Grant Bryan was but one year past the constitutional minimum in 1S96 while both Mcclellan and Pendleton were un- der forty when they undertook to stem the Lincoln tide. Parker IS 52 and Roose- welt 46
 The average age of the twenty men elected to the presidency Is 55, and of the greater number of vice presidents, 54. George Clinton vice president under Jef- ferson and Madison, died in office at the age of 72, Elbridge Gerry when 70, W. R. King when 67 and Thomas Hendricks during the first year after his election at the age of 65
 In spite of Senator Davis strong per- sonal qualities and abilities, his eighty one years will figure in the campaign.
