Parker Would BE Uusafe.

Without questioning the sincerity OF
Judge Parkcr's expressions on the
money question he was, by his own state
Nents, more devoted to his party, In
1896, than he was to hiss sincere con
yictions of right. That being the case,
we have a right to assume that he might,
at an extreme moment, again surrender
his principles for the sake OF his party.
Such man cannot be held up as a safe
candidate for the highest position In the
government.

Personal Abuse Will Not Win.

The Democratic party has been so
long in the opposition and its every day
work has so long been criticism, that it
forgets that no battle was ever won
by swearing at the enemy. Abuse of
Mr. Roosevelt will make votes for him.
He is very popular man. Personal
criticism will not draw away from him
any man who admires him, hut it will
stir his admirers to the more earnest sup

POLICE HAVE PLIERS
INSTRUMENT THAT CAUSED DEATH
 OF YOUNG HENDRICK.
It Was Picked Up by Visitor Named wiggins, Who Turned It Over
 to Onlcer Jackson.

The Montgomery police are in possess sion of the steel pliers with which young James H. Hendrick cut the cleo tric wires entering the offices of the American National Bank. thereby caus- ing his death from electrocution early Tuesday morning.
 The pliers were recovered yesterday afternoon at 6 o'clock by Special Om- cer E. w. Jackson from a white visi- tor to the city named Wiggins who said that he picked up the instrument near the curbing In front of the bank early Tuesday morning before the dis- covery of Hendricks dead body.
 The recovery of the pliers clears a mystery which has baffled the police ever since the tragedy. It was known that pliers were used in cutting tns wires and that a stranger had plckeo them up from the sidewalk. Hence the detectives have been looking TOT the man who had the pliers.
 Police Captain Taylor and others or the department supposed that In ma ing the pliers or any thing known 70 have been on the person or Henorich at the time of his death they would nave nossibIy an accomplice whom circum- stantiai evidence might duplicate. But the frankness and innocent appearance of wiggins in his explanation to om- cer Jackson convinced him and Chief Gerald that he was not with young Hendrick.
 Yesterday afternoon a strange negro hoy appeared at police headquarters and told Ofacer Jackson of man whom he saw pick up something like A pair ofsspliers in front of the Ameri- can National Bank Tuesday morning. The negro afterwards identified Wig gins as the man who had the pliers. wiggins when confronted by the om- cer admitted that he had found the pliers and immediately turned them over to the police. He said he had passed before the bank and saw the new steel of the wire-cutter flashing on the sidewalk. He picked it up and looked about him for an owner but seeing nobody was going to claim the pliers he stuck them in his pocket. He had them when approached by Oh- cer Jackson at the Oak Hall Saloon on Dexter Avenue between Lawrence and Perry streets.
 An examination of the pliers re- vealed that Hendrick had wrapped a line of insulating tape about their handle. But the unfortunate young man had not been cautious enough and left too much of the handle uninsu- lated. The result was that when he cut the wire his hand slipped and by a naked contact the terrible voltage shot through his body. sHendrick fell backward the instant he received the shock The body was rigid and the fall was so hard that there was enough impetus to throw the pliers off the roof.
 The police are still working on the case but no arrests have been made.

CASE SUIT IS DELAYED
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN MOBILE TAX OFFICE MATTER.
Former Collector Said to Be Due sums in Addition to Those Disclosed by Exaniiner-COmpinint
 Not Filed.

The filing of the States suit against the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland as sureties on the bond of John Case, former Tax Collector of Mo bile County, will be delayed at least a week.
 Attorney General Wilson. who has been preparing the record in the suit, which Is to recover approximately $1o,~ 900, an alleged shortage of Mir. Case, left yesterday evening for St. Louis, to be absent until the middle of next week.
 While no definite information was to be had on the subject, 1t was current gossip at the Capitol yesterday that Mir. Case had been found to be due the State sums of money in addition to those reported by Assistant State Ex- aminer Sedberry several weeks ago.
 It was even intimated that these de- velopments had caused Attorney Gen. eral Wilson to postpone filing the suit against the bondsmen of Mir Case.
 The States bond with the Baltimore Surety Company for the correct official conduct of MT. Case Is for $s0,000. and Capitol officials express the opinion that the State is protected amply. This bond was forwarded to the At torney-General by State Auditor Sowell, and 1t was then announced that the formal complaint against the surety company would be filed yesterday.
 The suit was not filed. the Attorney General left the State for a week. and the interesting story was circulated about the Capitol that there were de velopments in the case against Mfr Case.
 It Is said that at least one item in- volving a shortage of $500 has been dis covered by the Tax Commissioner of Mobile County. and that 1t was traced directly to a clerk in the office of Mir. Case as Tax Collector.
 Col. Harvey E. Jones, State Tax Com missioner, is in Mobile. and this report could not be confirmed. Whether Col onel Jones Is in Mobile to investigate this matter or not could not be ascer- tained.
