Men and Matches.

You would be surprised to know how many matches we give away in day, said man at a cigar stand yesterday "A box of matches Is kept open on the counter all the time, anu several fresh boxes have to be placed there during a day.
 Every man who purchases cigar takes from one to handful, and often times men who do not patronize this stand, stop and help themselves freely. It is really remarkable the number of matches and toothpicks taken from pub lie stands fnd restaurant counters. There seems to be some magnetic attraction about matches and toothpicks which the average man cannot resist. And as a rule he is not satisfied to supply pres ent needs but fills his pocket at every opportunity.
 Nearly every cigar store has intro- duced the little gas jet and no matches are in sight at these places, but I real ly believe some men will go out of the way to purchase their smokes at place where they can replendlsh their depleted match stock. This weakness Is the more marked when you consider that matches cost so little"

Tariff and Trusts.

Judge Parker discusses in his letter of acceptance the Dingley tariff and its resultant trusts with gloves of. He stands right up to the St. Louis platform when it says that Dingleyism is robbery He is, however, too digni. fled to use the word robbery" He says the power of taxation is used to build up the business and property of lhe few at the expense of the many" This is smooth way of saying it Is q system of robbery, which it is.
 Judge Parker shows that Dingleyism compels the people to pay excessive prices for food, fuel, clothing and other necessaries of life-prices beyond those asked by our tariff beneficiaries for like articles abroad, thus giving q bounty, says Judge Parker, "to Tor eigners at the expense of our own peo- ple." He shows that the infant indus tries have become industrial giants. some of them being one hundred years old
 He admits that the senate will be controlled by the republicans four years longer, but he says the people demand reform of existing conditions, and if that demand is made in an em- phatic manner in November the sen ate will heed it. The cost of living has been so much advanced by Ding ieyism that unmistakable distress ex lsts among wage earners.
 Judge Parker endorses the declara- tion that the Dingley tariff is the mother of trusts. It is more exact per haps to say it is the stepmother, for It is too vicious and selfish to be the mother of anything. He goes on to uncover the ignorance of Theodore Roosevelt, who undertook to say that the common law was not applicable to federal affairs.
 He concludes his review of the tariff and trust situation with a denuncia- ton of the section of the Dingiey act

NATIONAL POLITICS.
VIII Inspire His Followers.

From the Washington Post.
 Judge Parkers letter of accordance. while not lacking in any element of the decorous dignity beftting his position, possesses all the qualities that should characterize an address calculated to whet the zeal and inspire the energies of his political brethren. It is positive, direct, candid and courageous. It has been asserted by the opposition that his acceptance speech was lacking in these respects; that it resembles a judicial de- iveranee, a decision, or dissenting opin- ion from the bench, too closely to serve as campaign rallying call. But they will make no such criticism on this effort. 1t will put some animation and vigor into this hitherto incompatible dull campaign by enthusing ihe democracy. not less than by challenging the republicans to fresh assaults on the democratic lines. No deliverance that has marked the pro- eress of the canvass has commanded more prompt and interested attention than will be accorded to this virile letter, and if &C., tivity does not dspace indifference, If excitement does not supplant the unusual calmness of the scene, no part of the responsibility will be chargeable to the democratic candidate.

New York's Two Candidates.

Even if Roosevelt and Fairbanks should carry New York state-an inn probable event-even then it Is gener- ally conceded that Judge Herrick will be elected governor. He stands so high, has been all his life so independ- ent and outspoken, combating in every instance bosses ant machines, 1t is believed he will be elected no matter which electoral ticket is elected. He has always rejected boss control and boss dictation, ana ae has never been defeated before the people. He Is the man the big state needs at this june ture for goTernor,
 For at this time Governor Odell is using the judiciary, the states charit- able institutions, and even her insane asylums to build up and fortify his machine. He is reaching out in every direction for material and men that will promote his power as state boss. He heartlessly turned Thomas c. Platt out of power, and ne is imposing his own will on all the little bosses in the several counties.
 Governo Odell is extremely unpopu- lar in. his own state. He aims to become a boss of the most objectionable type. I He will employ every department of the state government in building up a machine if his man Higgins be elected governor, and it will be strange in- deed if the independent voter does not l recognize the wiie difference in capac- ity and in nrmness presented by b. Cady Herrick anu Frank Higgins. The two men do not stand on one level in any respect Judge Hlerrick is one of the strongest intellectual forces in public life in New York state, and Frank Higgins is 2igmy in compari- son. He is Governor Odell's favorite, and he will, if elected, be expected to promote the Odell programme. The voters are to choose between the Odell machine and Herricx independ- ence. The choice is apparent, and this lea Is some observers to predict Judge Herrick's election even if Theo- dore Rooseve.. secures a pluarillty of votes in New York.

Railway Travel in 1880.

From the Liverpool Post.
 In 1ss0 when the railway was opened between Liverpool and Manchester, the Lime street tunnel was not completed until about six years later. At first the service consisted of three trains each way on week days and two on Sundays, but this was soon found to be insuffi- cient After Lime street station was opened there were six first-class trains and six second class trains each way on week days and two of each description on Sunday.
 The journey of thirty-one miles occu- pied nearly two hours, which led to com plaints that the speed was too great to be pleasant and caused dizziness. On the other hand sanguine expectations were indulged in that in course of time the av- craze rates of travelling would be at least double the ordinary speed of the swiftest conveyances drawn by horses.
 It was anticipated that the general adoption of railways would lead to "a vast decrease in the consumption of oats and hay by the substitution of steam en- zines in lieu of horses. and that portions of the soil which had hitherto been al- lotted to the growth of such produce might be appropriated to the raising of food suitable to the human species''-an important consideration in the time of the corn laws It could not have been foreseen that the railway system, so far from superceding horses, would lead to an immense increase in the demand for them.

ReQistrati0n of Voter.

One more opportunity to register is open to all at the court house, and there are many who should take ad- vantage of it. Those who have this year reached the age of 21 should se- cure registration, and so should those who have mored from one county to another. The present opportunity for registration will last until Friday night
 presidential election and city primary invite a full registration and all unregistered voters should not for get these final registration days. The election of a president and the selec- tion of city officers alike appeal to the citizen to do his duty.
 A life certificate issued in Blount county is not good in Jefferson county unless the holder of it first secures registration in this county, and in this large county there are probably one thousand citizens who have become temporarily disfranchised in this way. The final days of registration should therefore be utilized by the unqualified electors, it being the duty of every man to make himself full citizen, a full sovereign, responsible to the state for the selection of the states serv- ants in office.
 The board of registrars do, it is true, sit just before the election, but it is for special purposes, and the present opportunity is the last one open to voters in general. Don't forget it. Go to the court house, if you do not hold life certificate. and secure registra- ton and the rights of full citizenship.

Savage Grand Opera Go.

Henry w. Savage will have over a score of principals with the English Grand Opera company when the big com pany is heard here" said a press agent. Among the new singers recently arrived from Europe may be mentioned Arthur Dean. the Convent garden baritone: Henri Barron, a Russian tenor who has had several years English grand opera expe- rience in London, and A. H. Busby, d new baritone, pupil of Sngnor Cotogni, in Rome. William Wegener, the Wagnerian tenor formerly Brooklyn choir study, who has had four years study in Ger many, will also be with the company. A new prima donna is Kate Sherrod. the dramatic soprano whose stage work has been confined to concert and oratorio pro- grammes. Miss Sherwood is a daughter of Judge Thomas A. Sherwood, of the state supreme court in St. Louis and has a superb voice with a range of two and one-half octaves. She will probably make her debut as Leonora in II Trov- atore.'"

Clear and Simple.
lo New Orleans Plcavune.

From the New Orleans PIcayune.
 Judge Parker. the democratic nominee for President of the United States, yester- day gave out to the committee which conveyed to him the announcement of the nomination. his formal letter of accept ance. It is not nearly so voluminous as was that of MT. Roosevelt. and 1t is com posed in a style of great simplicity, while it's proportions are set forth with extreme clearness.
 The matters which he considers of greatest importance in the public policy of the nation, and are therefore the fore most issues before the people, are im- perialism, tariff revision and tine trusts; economical administration of the public service and honesty in It's conduct

Will Stir the Country.
New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Judge Parkei's letter of acceptance, though calm and dignified. will stir the country even more profoundly than did lis famous telegram announcing his firm and irrevocable adherence to the gold standard" It's calmness Is the calm ness of powder-like that of the oceanic tide. It forcibly recalls MT. Clevelands letter of acceptance published on Septem- Der 27, 1892, of which the Herald then said: Tt is not an argument but state ment; not a ringing document, but calm summary of views confidently expressed in plain language that will appeal to the thinking masses.''

The Water Cure.

q have just discovered a new water cure that proves very effective in dis persing the sons of rest who occupy chairs on the sidewalks in front of the Birmingham hotels' said a travelling man. "It seems to be quite a fad for everybody to get out in the street and prop their feet against the curb, especial ly after dark.
 "Tonight I was coming down First avenue by the Morris hotel when heard a shrill whistle emanate from a man perched on the seat of a sprinkling cart which was coming down the street in my direction. Instantly twelve or fifteen gentlemen seated in chairs along the curb stone made a break for the safety of the sidewalk and when the cart passed along they gave it wide berth.
 If the water wagons could be em- ployed to keep the sidewalks as well as the street before our popular hostelries sprinkled the street sitters would find very cold comfort"

Street Car Systems.

"One who has not visited other south ern cities than this cannot appreciate Birmingham's street railway system," said a travelling man last night.
 Birmingham undoubtedly has the best system Of any city in the south, every thing considered. Other towns may have slightly better system in some par ticular, and then fall far short in other details. Here the cars are more comfort able, fai:.r and prettier and the con- ductors more polite. In a number of cities transfers Ire not issued o-l all lines, as is the case here although tickets are sold at reduced rates. There is only one fault that can be found and another is that enough cars are not run on some lines. but I suppose they will be increased as the town grows"

Haberdashery. Styles.

The man who wants to live up to the exact demands of fashion will have to change the style of his collars and neck wear," said Archie De Bow, well known haberdasher yesterday. For instance, the style of collar worn several years ago with the low band and the points rather long is coming back into vogue. and is the thing for the well-dressed man to wear.
 Everything will be broad in neck ties this year. he four-in-hand will be very broad, and the correct way to tie it diff fers entirely from that of the old four-in- hand. Instead of wrapping 1t twice, the long end should be wrapped three times, and should make long knot and rather narrow The ascot Is very wide this year, and the correct colors are purple and brown.
 About ten years ago the turned down collar had very long points to the flaps, and this is certainly coming back again. By next summer the points will be an inch and |. half or two inches longer than this year."

From the Cincinnati Enouirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 H0\ ARICATURE, or the art of mak-
 S, ing use of the grotesque for pur-
 poses of satire, made itself first distinctly felt during the reformation, and became general in England in the eigh- teenth century. when in the hands of such artists as Hogarth ana Gilray, 1t was widely used, both In politics and social life. They were followed by Cruikshank, Leech, Tenniel and Du Maurier, and the use of caricature has grown to be so general that in this country many of the prominent journals have clever artists attached to their regular staffs. The car toon is of broader scope than the car feature, which implies an element of the grotesque always. and of satire, where. as some of the most powerful cartoons have been simply pictorial representa- tions of a situation. or the exhibition of a quality, or character, by a few strokes of the pencil.
 There can be no question of the legt- imacy of such an art, and of it's widen ing influence. Beginning with the de- moltion of the Tweed ring. in which Nast's cartoons were so largely infiuen- tial, 1t has come to be recognized as one of the most effective weapons in politi- cal warfare, or in attacking and ridicul- ing governmental and social extrava- gances and abuses. What a writer must gradually lead up to, and laboriously de- scribe, and characterize, the artist sees embodied. and can often put 1t before the average intelligence more tellingly than Is possible in any other way. It is not to be expected that so effective a means of propa agating a theory, or op- posing an idea. will be abandoned be- cause incidentally, sensitive people are held up to public comment in way that it not agreeable to them, but it is reasonable to demand that there shall be absence of personal motive in car toons, and absence of any purpose to wound or hurt an individual. So far as he is identified with cause, and if his personality lends itself to grotesque. or absurd or amusing representation of an idea, without manifestation of gross ness or spite, or an evident purpose to

 There have been, in some of our cam paigns, cartoons that were cruel and brutal and which should have been sup pressed as tending to stir up class hatr ed. Their day we believe has passed.

cnmnanv F Mustered Out.

The curtain falls on Company Of the Third infantry 1t disappears from the scene bag and baggage, and It goes out loaded up with more unsoi- dierlike charges than had ever befell company of citizen soldiers of this state.
 The military board of inquiry, made m of officers in whom the state has confidence, discharged it's duty with fidelity and courage. Its report made to Governor Cunningham sets forth all the essential facts relative to the dis graceful conduct of the company in she face of a mob in broad daylight of |, September '. Not only was no order to fire on the pressing, rushing mob given by Captain Hay or his officers, but no order to load even was issued, The privates were thus left helpless before the mob, and Jailer Giles testi- l.es that some of them took refuge in his room, seeking the closet and even the space under the bed. Some senti- nels were posted, but no steps were taken to support them. It was in short a disgraceful situation from a military point of view, and the board of in quiry surely were light when they re ported the company "asi| organized inefficient and worthlsss. It has been, or soon is to be, e,sduly mustered out. by order of.the governor.
 Beyond reasonable doubt Captain Hay and his twenty-five men could, if they had possessed the discipline and determination of Captain Lucian Browns company, have defended the jail against the mob, thus preventing the shame that has overtaken the state. Governor Cunningham is, however, doing all that a chief executive could do to retrieve the states fair name, and he will succeed. When Sheriff Rodgers Is brought before jury that is not susceptible to "hot air." the blame os that unfortunate September evening will be fully disclosed and placed where it belongs. A jury con sisting of our seven justices of the supreme court is jury that will do justice though the heavens fall. It is jury that is not open to local preju- lices or locaI mis-sentiment.

Does Not Mlnce Matters.

From the Florida Times Union.
 In his letter of acceptance Judge l:sr- ker does not follow President Roosevelt's s example of giving almost all his space to a condemnation of the opposing party. He tells the people what opinions will shape his official conduct if he is elect ed He refers to the republican party incidentally but forcetul1y, as the party that opposes what he thinks should be done.
 There has been much talk of democratic lodging in this campaign. It was never just, and never honest. It is absolutely without any foundation beyond the avoid ance by the convention of the money question. Even this was not a dodge. It was we'll understood-understood be- cause time and again expressed in com mittees and on the floor of the conven- tion-that a reference to this question was omitted because, under existing condi- tions 1t was unimportant. But even if this could be considered an evasion, it ceased to be one when the candidate stated his position on the question. No one doubts how Judge Parker stands on this or any other important question.
 The letter of acceptance is able and straightforward. It makes no demagogic play to the grandstand. It shows no att tempt at striking. forms of expression. It reads as the plain statement Of a straight forwal man-his promise to the people, and its language is so clear as to leave no doubt as to the policies that will be furthered by the votes cast for him.
 Constitutionalism vs. Imperialism IS made the main issue. This of itself is issue enough. even if neither the demo- cratic convention nor the democratic candidate had taken any position on any other question. It Is well to decide whether we will have constitutional government before deciding what that government will do.
 The letter touches on every national question in which the American people are interested. On all it takes its posi- ton for the masses. With the platform of the St. Louis convention it constitutes the pledge of the democratic party to the people. The issues between the two par ties are clearly made, and the voters can intelligently take their choice.
