PaTkeT'S HeToism.

1t is not necessary to underestimate
the sagacity Of Judge Parker's tele-
gram regarding the gold standard.
sent at the last minute to the St.
Louis convention, in order to see that
all this talk about his bravery, hero
ism, moral courage. and so on, is
somewhat absurd. Had he made that
declaration openly, at a time when il
might have lost him votes in the
South and West, there would have
been a certain amount of courage in
IT, The support of Wall Street inter
ests will make Judge Parker stronger
on the whole than the doubtful adj
herence Of the Bryan men, and his
declaration made him solid with Wall
Street as nothing else would The
telegram was wise all right
It was plain enough that the alb
sence of a money plank in the plat
form, and the non-cOmmittaf attitude
taken, was hurting Judge Parker
reputation, and that he was coming
TO be spoken of as a candidate Of ne
cations. BY his silence he had made
Il uncertain whether he was respOn-
sible for the Hill-Bryan agreement OF
not. and the silver men-some OF
them-were giving him the benefit Of
the doubt and pledging themselves
10 support the party. There is plenty
of evidence that they feel sore over
what they regard as a trick. There
IS reason in Bryan's comment on the
case. that Parker would have shown
more manliness had he declared him
self at the beginning instead Of at
the end.
The Southern and Western silver
men, in short, feel about this thing
somewhat as the parents and rela-
tives of a girl might feel if some
man had become a sutton for her
hand. and had been accepted by her
and by them on the tacit understand
ing that ne was Of their own political

Warning From New JeTSey.

Triple indictments have been found
against the three negroes, two OF
whom are self-confessedly guilty of
atrocious assault in Burlington, n. J.
The indictments charge felonious as
sault. assault with intent TO kill, and
breaking and entering. The maxi
mum sentence, if the men are found
guilty on all three charges, will be
forty-nine years Imprisonment.
Such sentences will result from the
peculiar combination of circum-
stances rather than from any wise
provision OF the law. All that can be
legally done in New Jersey to a man
who commits an assault upon a
woman and no other crime in connec-
ton with that frightful crime, is to
imprison him for fifteen years, a
wholly inadequate punishment for
a fend who deserves death certainly
as much as does the man who com
mits murder.
New Jersey will be wise if she re-
vises her law so that by a straight
Interpretation it will deal adequately
with the crime; and other States will
be wise if they, too. are prompted 10
similar action by this New Jersey
horror.
But there is another phase connect

THURSDAY, JULY Il. 1904.
Public and the Strike.

The butchers of Washington jump
ed the price of beef eight cents yes
terday, and thereby succeeded in
leading the country in high prices.
New York was next on the list, with
an advance of four cents. The local
men are to be congratulated upon
their enterprise in so quickly and
forcibly taking advantage of a threat
ening condition.
The exact causes which led to the
meat strike are not definitely discern
ible This is not right. Fully as
vitality interested in the matter as
either employer or employee is the
entire public, suddenly cut off from
one of its chief food supplies. The
side which is wrong in this strike
has wantonly assaulted the public well
fare. The public, therefore, should
be put in possession of the facts
in the case in order to inflict just
punishment. Public sympathy wins
strikes, and public sympathy must be
on the right side in the meat strike.
The most hopeful sign from Chi
cago is Strike Leader Donnelly's COM
munication to the packers that the
unions are willing to accept a settle
ment through the Illinois State board
Of arbitration. Mr. Donnelly adds
that had the packers offer to arbi-
trate come sooner than it did there
would have been no strike.
Without doubt, if it becomes evil
dent that the packers have not made
every effort TO avert a strike, they
will receive short shrift from the
country as a whole. The meat trust,
by its zealousness in promoting meas
ures for getting full price for its
goods, has not firmly established it
self either in the public confidence or
the public affection. The frog explod-
ed in his endeavor to initiate himself
to the size Of the OK. The same fate
may be in store for the OK which tries
to rival the elephant
If the strike is not ended within a
few days its effect upon the political
situation is likely to become a matter
of acute anxiety to some Of the cam
paign managers. No party in power
cares to be burdened with the handi-
cap of discomfort that will surely fol-
low a period of famine prices in food
supplies throughout the country.
Political exigency, consequently, is
a definite factor TO be reckoned with,
in casting about for reasons, which
make toward a quick settlement in
Chicago President Roosevelt in the
coal strike showed the effective &C
ton he was capable of taking upon
the pressure Of conviction. The meat
strike may provide him with another
opportunity to reveal to the country
his appreciation Of the menace to in
dustrial advance that these vast com
mercial disturbances really are.

FAIR CENSUS CLERK
WEEDS SESAGENARIAN
Miss Rosamond Stewart Married to
Charles Davis, a Syracusan
Millionaire.

Washington friends OF Rosamond
Stewart, a former clerk in the Census
Office here. have received news Of her
marriage in Boston a few days ago TO
Charles Davis. reputed to be a million
aire of Syracuse. y. Y.
Mr.. Davis will celebrate his sixtv-first
birthday this year in Europe. where he
and his bride are 10 spend their honey
moon. They sailed this morning on the
steamer Cymric.
Miss Stewards home is in Boston. She
had been employed in the Census once
here until few months ago. when she
obtained transfer to Boston.
A few days ago Mr.. Langley. appoint
ment clerk Of the Census. received a
letter from Miss Stewart. inclosing her
resignation. She told Mr. Langley she
was going abroad. 1t was only yester-
day officials here heard of her mar
riage TO Mr. Davis.
During her Washington residence, Miss
Stewart made her home at the Stratford
Hotel. She gave up her apartments
there last December. when her transfer
20 Boston was effected.
She is a rather attractive woman about
twenty-seven years of age. and has a
number of friends in Washington. For
short while she was a stenOgrapher in
the Patent Office previous 10 going into
the Census
The courtship Of Miss Stewart and
Mr.. Davis IS said to have been quite ro-

at the Winthrop Hotel Winthrop. Il
was apparently a case OF mutual at

cd with this deplorable incident. Had
New Jersey been properly patrolled
by a system Of rural policing, she
might have been spared this fright
full atrOcity. The tramp evil is a con-
slant menace to country jewellers,
particularly in Pennsylvania and
neighboring States, as the daily news
paper reports plainly show, but the
tramp evil can be mitigated and final
ly abolished by rural policing.
This country is daily receiving in
addition to its own criminal classes,
far too many dangerous European
importations any longer to refuse to
follow the European example in the
matter of guarding its sparsely set
tied territory. The wide expanse of
area to be looked after, even in the
more thickly settled sections, makes
the problem a difficult one, but it
will have to be met and mastered
some time.
The action of the farmers of Bur-
llngton, in organizing themselves into
minute men and perfecting a system
by which the country can be instant
ly alarmed in the case of crime, shows
thai they realize the necessity of &C
tive self-pTotectiOn. Who shall de-
clare that they have not this right,
when the law of the land and the sys-
tenn of police patrol constituted and
maintained by civil authority fail ut
terly to cope with a terrorizing and
uncomfortable situation?

OLD AGE.

Old age comes in the orderly process
of Nature is a beautiful and majestic
thing. The very shadow Of elipse
which threatens 1t, makes it the more
priced. 1t stands for experience,
knowledge, wisdom and counsel,
That Is old age as it should be. But
old age as 1t 80 often, means nothing
but a second childhood Of mind and
body. What makes the difference?
Very largely the care Of the stomach.
In youth and the full strength of
manhood 1t doesn't seem to matter
how we treat the stomach. We abuse
IL, overwork 1t, lnjure 1t. We don Z
suffer from 1t much. But when age
comes the stomach is worn out. 1t
can't prepare and Distribute the need
ed nourishment to the body, and the
body, unnourished, falls into senile
decay. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery is wonderful medicine for
old people whose stomachs are "weak"
and whose digestions are poor" Its
invigorating effects are felt by mind
as well as body. 1t takes the sting
from old age, and makes old people
strong.
