Judge Parker's Opinions.

What is alleged to be an authoritative
statement of Judge Parker's position on
public questions has been given out in
Washington in an interview by Elliott
Danforth, of Chenango, New York, one
of his most intimate friends, and who
recently had long conversation with
the candidate for the democratic presi-
Dental nomination. Judge Parker's
opinions, as attested by Mr.. Danforth,
are in substance as follows:
He is in favor of reducing customs
wherever they shelter the trusts, and
wherever they enable lawless capital to.
wiring extortionate prices from the con-
sumner.
He insists that wherever American
manufacturers by means of a mOnopo-
listic tariff are enabled to charge at
home prices higher than those accepted
abroad duties should be reduced.
He would '.smite the subsidy monster
wherever it might lift its head" He
believes that the solution of the trust
problem would be facilitated by wise
revision Of the tariff.
He would insist of the use of the States
powers 70 regulate the trusts when these
are within State boundaries.
Wherever she Interstate law or anti
trust law was violated he would enforce
the federal law.
He would let the South solve its OWL
problems, and is in heartiest sympathy
with it.
Mr. Danforth expresses the conyiction
that Judge Parker will not only be nomi-
mated but will be elected. Referring to
the judges aversion to public discussion
of his views Mr.. Danforth says:
''FOr reasons of weight reasons for
which are convictiDg in the judgment of
every thinking man-Judge Parker
has not in recent years advertised
his opinions in public. There are
some men who persist in being judges
in politics and politicians on the bench.
Judge Parker is made of finer clay than
these. His silence in recent years should
not be interpreted to indicate that he
would, for any consideration, shirk re-
sponsibility or seek safety in policy of
evasion. So long as he is on the bench
Judge Parker prefers to deport himself
in manner BETTING his exalted office"

Cadets in Disgrace.

Stripes and monograms having been
cut from their uniforms in the presence
OF the whole corps, two cadets were ex-
PEELED from the Virginia Polytechnic In
stitute, at Blacksburg, The cadets took
the matter into their own hands and did
not consult the head of the institute.
The two young men were accused of hay
ing becomein intoxicated aud while in that
condition insulted young ladies. The
charges were investigated by the cadet
corps and pronounced true. Committees
from, each class notified the offenders
that they must Leave college. They were
then escorted to the parade ground,
where the cadets we're assembled and
solemnly despoiled of their military dec
orations. A half hour later they were
on their way TO the depot, with their
trunks.

Parker,s Prospcet in Alabama.

Mobile, Ala, May 6.-Friends of
Judge Parker in this part of the State
claim that the New Workers. chances of
winning the Alabama delegation to the
national convention are growing. Madi-
son cOuuty's delegation, being one of the
few delegations instructed, will push the
fight for Parker and insist that the State
delegation be instructed to vote for him.
The claim is made that some shrewd
politicians are behind the Hearst m5ye-
ment and an attempt may be made t.
capture the delegation for that candidate
unless positive instructions for Parker
are given by the State convention.

FRIDAY EVENING. MAY 9. 1904.

A REPORT comes from Richmond that
summer campaign has been planned
by the Anti-Saloon League, and speakers
are to be sent throughout the State to
inveigh against the saloons. In this con-
nection a recent article in the Brooklyn
Eagle is of interest. 1t says;
There is, we believe, in contempla-
t;on a national law requiring the formu-
laries .f patent medicines to be printed
On their labels. If such law were en-
forced it would prevent large consump-
ton of bad rum by people who cannot
consent that other people shall be al
lowed to use wine and beer. But there
is a certain authority in our health boards
and in our police and excise departments
and in our county medical societies that
ought to be exercised. In prohibition
States there is a small and highly con-
temptible class that lives by reporting
people who drink liquor and those who
sellit. They share in the fines paid bytne
sufferers. Yet in every grocery In such
q State one may buy quack medicines
more poisonous than COney Island gin,
and not word is said. Why are not
the grocers and druggists equally amen
able to high license, or other legal sup
preston, with the landlord who would
sell his wares openly and honestly Z
Let us 60 to the tavern when we want
to stimulate, and leave healing to the
doctors At least let us be free from
hypocrisy.

TO Investieate Mysterious Deaths.

Rutland, VT, May 6.-Startling in
formation has been given to the sheriff
as the result of which an investigation is
in progress which probably will lead to
solution of several mysterious deaths
which have occurred in the outskirts OF
Rutland during the past two or three
wears 1t is now believed that these
deaths, which we're thought at the time
to have been caused by the victims being
struck by the trains of the Rutland Rail
road, were the result of cold blooded
murders at the hands of inmates of dis
reputable house situated near the rail-
roa and were committed for the pur-
poses of robbery. 1t is said that a
former inmate of the house has given
the sheriff information on which the
present investigation is based.

Democratic Primary in Washington

Washington, May 6.-The Hearst
ticket was knocked out by a vote of
more than two to one at the democratic
primaries held in Washington yesterday.
Charges of fraud have been made which
will be taken to the national committee
for settlement by the men who lost.
According to the latest reports, the Nor.
ris faction will have As delegates in the
local convention and the Hearst crowd
only q. The Hearst boomers assert
that repeating was only the smallest of
the crimes perpetrated by the Norris
victors. The corrupt use of money, the
losers say, was the real cause of their
downfall. During the hottest part of
the fight the police seized eleven half
barrels of beer that was being dis.
pensed on vacant lot. Up to a
late hour last night the result in the
22d district was in doubt, as the
Judges and clerks bad gotten into a
wrangle and did not know how to get
out. "BIt L settled it in short order"
said Edward Seton, chairman of the
commission appointed by the democratic
national committee TO conduct the pri-
maries. CATER listening to the judges
and clerks scrap while | said Let me
have the ballot box They gave me the
box. Then | said; You fellows get
out Of the ROOM They left and | counted
the ballots myself. Then l called them
back and announced Hearst carried the
22d by 221 to 20l." Mr.. Seton is a
Hearst man. AT a close stage of the
proceedings in one of the districts COM
pany of High School Cadets happened
to pass the polling place. The Hearst
ropers caught them, gave them mems
hats and voted them with neatness and
dispatch.

WILLIAM L. HARTLEY, white, and
James Edwards, colored, were hanged
in Pittsburg, Pa, yesterday. The form
er entreated the sheriff not to hang him
with the negro, and his request was
granted That aruling passion is often
strong in death is proven by many incl
dents that could be quoted, and the
above shows that even individuals whose
careers are stepped in crime and who
eventually are executed for the public
good, manifest an Unborn aversion to
social equality even under the shadow of
the gallOws.

ton and shade of political opinion is rep
resented in this array of workers.

that two of the most popular students at
the University have been suspended Tor
failure to attend lectures. Both are
prominent in the athletic and fraternity
life of the institution, and one has Tor
the past two sessions been a leader IN
the social set. Their departure, the dis
patch says, is regretted throughout the
college and els very unfortunate Just at
this time. as both are stars in track ath-
letics. Coming on the eve of the dual
meets with North Carolina and Johns
HOPKINS, their loss will especially be
felt. as their places simply cannot be
flied" Several years ago at the COM
mencement exercises of a college in a
northern State the prize in Greek was
taken bv an Armenian, in Latin by a
Syrian and in mathematics by Jap
auese youth. An American was awarded
a prize for being an expert ball pitcher
For long time the athletic features o
institutions of learning have Overshad
owed everything else. That they are
essential to young people all will con
cede, but that they should be made sec
ondary is glaringly apparent.

EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE OF
 REMARKABLE oRAToRI0.
Miss Rio and Kelley Cole Prove Fine
 Artists.

MISS Rio and Kelley Cole Prove Fine
 Artists.
 Handels remarkable oratorio 'The Messiah was again given in Woolsey hall last evening before a good sized audience, but the performance was de- serving of an assemblage which should have more completely taxed the capaci- ty of the house.
 The Messiah" to the serious stu dents, possesses many aspects of in completeness, especially in the matter of scoring. but where one considers the entire work was written in scarcely three weeks then the achievement was remarkable indeed
 The performance of the work last eve- ming was as a whole excellently done. The choruses showed careful training both in phrasing and attack. The sing er's appreciation of the text was riotice- ably marked. It was not an evening when the soloists came in for the Hon s share of the applause. After the chorus For Unto Us a. Child Was Born'' there was most pronounced demon- stration of approval, and Professor Parker was obliged to acknowledge al- most an ovation. The Hallelujah chorus with the grand organ and full orches- tra, sung while the audience stood, was an inspiring piece of work. There were some of the more intricate choruses < wt.ch showed a lack of complete mast cry, especially among the tenors.
 Regarding the soloists it may be said The Messiah has been given here with a somewhat stronger combination of singers.
 In Miss Anita Rio however, is found most pleasing and finished artist. < Her voice while of small calibfe is we'll placed and effective In It's delivery She sang the entire role without her notes, I lending additional charm to her eve nings ork. Her articulation Is excel- l lent. Rejoice Greatly was superbly done, and the orchestral aecompani- ment was excellent. T Know That My Redeemer Liveth' was an effort which greatly pleased.
 Mrs. Homer E. Sawyer, the alto, made little impression in her first mum bers, she being poorly equipped tech niquely for the exacting colorature, but in the aria He Shall Feed His Flock created better impression. She sings with feeling but the registers need bet ter blending to make her work satis- factory.
 .l The society was fortunate, indeed, irl securing Kelley Cole, the tenor. He sang his important part with large free dramatic tone and was accorded sincere approval. He Is an artist oi the first rank He should not, however sacrifice so much of his tone for the dynamic effects in the dramatic aria Thou Shalt Break Them"
 The bass, Frederick Wheeler, made much of some of the strenuous arias which fall to his part, especially wher his limited vocal resources are consid Eered. His voice lacks freedom and con sequent openness, but his artistic tenn perament atones for much,
 Dr. Parker, with the New Haver I Symphony orchestra did commendable work. The pastoral symphony was beautifully given and the accompani. ments were well played. H. B. Jepsor was the organist and David Stanley Smith the pianist.
