Turn About 10 Fair Play.

There are two good and sufficient
rsasons why tho Hon. WILLIAM j. BRYAN
Of Nebraska may be expected to 60 to
the polls on the eighth OF next November
'- and deposit his ballot for an electoral
ticket representing Judge ALTON B.
PARKER o: Now York.
The first reason is that Judge ALTON
B. PARKER went to the polls on the third
OF November, 1896, and voted for WILL
LIAM j. BRYAN and the Chicago platform
declaring for free silver coinage at the
patio of sixteen to one; and this despite
the fact that hundreds Of thousands Of
equally good Democrats were that day
either voting directly for the Republican
ticket or indirectly assisting in the defeat
of Organism by giving their votes for
PALMER and BUcKNER, because they
I. deemed the maintenance of the national
credit higher duty than the preserva-
ton OF nominal party regularity.
'- The second reason is that on the sixth
of November, 1900, Judge ALTON B.
PARKER likewise deposited his ballot
to help make WILLIAM j. BRYAN Presi-
dent of the United States; despite the
fact that hundreds OF thousands Of the
Mckinley Democrats and Palmer and
Buckner Democrats Of 1895 again voted
the Republican ticket for the same pa
triotic purpose as in the preceding
Presidential election.
z That Judge PARKER's course in 1895
and 1900 was conscientiously considered
by him. nobody doubts. He stood by his
party, although he may have approved
neither its candidate nor it's platform.
Why should Mr.. BRYAN be expected
to do less for Judge PARKER than Judge
PARKER has twice done for him?

Parson Says Roosevelt Il "a Shining Ex.
ample OF PracticaI Politician"
PROVIDENCE, r. l.. July I'm a general
discussion on the ethics Of politics at the
convention OF the Young Peoples Union
here to-day the Rev. w. II. Murray Of South
old L. l., made some remarks in disapproval
of the course Of President Roosevelt in the
election in New York city when Hewitt
was made made Mayor Of the city. He was
mildly hissed for his utterances.
Mr.. Murray spoke Of the shining ex-
ample Of a practical politician now In the
White House." and said that Roosevelts
course during that election made the cleo
ton Of Henry George. the Socialist, . strong
possibility and that his action was identical
with that Of ex-Seoretary Tracy. who 40
cepted Republican machine nomination,
which allowed Van Wyck to win during a
later contest.
He said that the chairman was wrong IN
advising men to ally themselves with any
political party, and concluded by saying
that when a mans course Is between praoti-
cal politics and the ethics Of the question,
ethical principles have to 60 every time.
These remarks caused little applause
and few vigorous Misses. Afterward
Mr.. Murray said that he did not want to pick
the President out for criticism, but he
thought that he was q good example Of what
results from following practical politics.

Entries In lYoOks of Asbury PARK Bank
Held Not 70 De False.
THENToN. N. j.. July George r. Rroehl.
the former president Of the First National
Bank Of Asbury Park, was acquitted In the
United States District Court to-day on an
indictment charging him with causing
false entries to be made In the books OF tho
bank. The verdict Of the jury was directed
by Judge Lanning upon technical point
raised by Kroehl's counsel, who argued that
a true entry Of false or fraudulent trans
action did not constitute q false entry within
the meaning Of the statute under which the
indictment was found.
The specific charge Of Justification was the
result Of q note for tl,700 given by j., Z.
Davis, assistant cashier Of the institu ton.
When this note came due Davis gave new
note for $3.50, which was entered among
the bills receivable, while the difference OF
$3.50 was credited to the profit and loss ao-
count. No part OF the indebtedness was
actually liquldated.
It Itappeared, however. that the transaction
was authorized by the officials Of the bank
or some OF them, and the Court sustained
the contention OF counsel that the entries
In the books faithfully represented what
had actually occurred.
Kroehl, with Albert G. Twining, = director
Of the bank and formerly president OF the
Monmouth Trust Company, will be tried
next Tuesday on indictments charging
them with conspiracy In connection with
the defalcations from the two institu tions.

Brazil's Interference with Amazon
Trade.

few weeks ago Brazilian officials dc.
tanned two steamers on their passage ur
the Amazon, and seized therefrom Ger.
tain parcels OF arms and ammunition
consigned to private parties in the ter
ritory now in dispute between Brazil
and Peru. The seizure was made on
the ground that munitions Of war were
being transported into a portion Of the
disputed area
The shippers were American and
European firms, and the claim is made
that the shipments were only those Of an
ordinary merchandise transaction in the
course Of regular business in firearms
and ammunition, largely for sporting
purposes The seizure comprised 1885, 900
cartridges. 10000 caps. 1870 cdrabinds or
fowling pieces, so rifles and 80 revolvers.
The act has every appearance Of being
an unwarranted interference with inter-
national trade and a violation OF Brazil
own decree Of 1857, by which the Amazon
River was opened to the free navigation
of vessels of all flags. Peru owns large
area Of undisputed territory on the upper
waters Of the Amazon, and claims the
right of trade passage by that river to
the Atlantic by virtue Of a treaty with
Brazil.
Originally the territorial dispute in
that region was three cornered affair
in which Brazil, Peru and Bolivia were
involved. Bolivia put an army in the
field, and Brazil bought her claims for
the sum OF $40, 100000. One-half of that
has been paid, and the remainder is to be
paid within the next few weeks. Arepre-
sentative of the Bolivian Government is
now in New York for the purpose of
arranging with American contractors
for the construction OF $40, ,0Oo, 900 worth
of railways in Bolivia, that sum being
the proceeds, in cash, of the Brazilian
payment.
Peru has urged a settlement Of her
dispute with Brazil by arbitration, and
steps have been taken in the direction
Of such determination. Pending the
decision, Brazil will not advance her
cause or gain friends by open interfer-
ence with the trade relations between
Heru huo tho OLnVcu othtco auu tne
countries Of Europe.
Without a declaration OF war it is
doubtful if Brazil would, under the cir
cumstances, be justified in the seizure
Of munitions Of war known to be for the
use Of the Peruvian Government. The
recent seizure was Of commercial and
not Of military merchandise. Between
the two, thus far, Peru has played the
more commendable part in the terri
torial dispute in South America.

BARRED FROM cArHoGlo CxorRs.



Exclude Jewp and Unbeiievers.
Archbishop Farley has introduced an
other regulation into the practice Of the
ohoirs OF the Roman Catholic parishes Of
this diocese. II has not yet become q
formal rule. but has already been put into
effect In at least one case and will be OBJ
served In future by all pastors In the do
oeses. The clergy Of the diocese are now
making their annual retreat at Dunwoodie
with the Archbishop. The first half ended
the retreat last Friday and the other
half will finish to-day.
Last week Archbishop Farley spoke to
the pastors about the music In their
churches, his address being prompted by
the recent u utteranoe Of the Pope on sacred
music and choirs.
He told them then that II was his wish
to have In the future no Jews or infidels
or profeesed non-believers in the choirs
OF churches or employed In any way In the
music OF the Church. He said that II was
In MS opinion unworthy to have the praises
OF God sung by persons who made no pro-
fession Of belief in them.
The Archbishop does not intend to
exercise this discrimination against Protes-
tants. said Father Murphy at the rectory
OF the Cathedral last night. "he merely
wants to keep out Of the services Of the
Church professed non-beievers In the
religion Of Christ. There are some Jews
In Catholic choirs just as there are some
non-believers. and the Archbishop does not
feel that they belong in the Church. He
has not yet made a rule In the matter, but
do not doubt that he will do so soon, as
all the questions that have arisen about
music are settled"

Passengers and Lifeb oats.

| A correspondent who has travelled
in far distant parts of the world noted in
a letter printed in yesterdays Sun that
there is sad lack OF adequate fire
and abandon-ship drills In steamers in
foreign waters as well as in those at
home. 1t is we'll known, however, to
transoceanio voyagers that some lines
make specially of such drills and keep
their boats in complete readiness for
instant use. The correspondent ex-
pressed astonishment at the fact that
passengers on steamships were not al
lotted places in the various boats and
shown just where they we're to 60 in case
Of having to leave the ship.
or course this could not be done on
vessels such as our Sound and river
steamboats,, because the passengers are
not long enough on board. On such YES
sells it is obvious that the only prepara-
tion for emergency is perfect drill Of
the crew, including the handling of the
passengers. But it does look as if our
correspondent had hit upon an idea
quite practicable for ocean going steam
ers. Nevertheless it is not at all likely
that his suggestion will be accepted.
There are two reasons why it should
not be.
In the first place. it is contrary to the
policy Of steamship companies to admit
the possibility of accident. To show all
the passengers what to do in case OF the
necessity Of abandoning the ship would
be to confess that such necessity might
arise. 1t does not require any profound
knowledge Of human nature to inform
one that intending travellers would
avoid the ships which were always pre-
pairing for the worst and seek those
which took good fortune for granted.
In the second place, any attempt to
apportion the entire ships company to
the boats and liferafts would probably in
many instances disclose the fact that
there was not room enough for all of
them. So long as this reason exists
others are superf1uous.

The Dundonald Incident =.

Canada is yet deeply agitated by the
Dundonald incident. A recent London
despatch to the Canadian Associated
Press says that Col. WINDHAM MURRAY,
M. p, has given notice that he will call
attention to the dismissal OF Lord
DUNDoNALD from the command OF the
Canadian militia, and ask for a court
OF inquiry to investigate the case.
That Major-General DUNDoNALD COM
mitted serious indiscretion in his semi
public criticism Of member OF the Cana
dian Cabinet is generally admitted. But,
for various reasons, the offence has been
condoned by many Canadians. 1t ia
evident that the offence arose only out
Of zeal for and interest in the work OF
Canada's General Officer Commanding.
He u q soldier with an unusually credit
able record in England's 8 wars, although
seemingly disposed at times to go beyond
his orders. if not beyond his proper au-
thority. His service in Egypt was marked
by more than one really brilliant perform
ance. Assigned to certain movement
in BULLER's campaign on the Tugela
River, in Natal, he wound up his task by
pushing forward through the Boer lines
and shaking hands with Gen. WHITE,
the commander Of the beleaguered gar
rison in Ladysmith.

Congressman JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS O
Yazoo, Miss, did not prove himself t.
be in all respects the man for the task
And In ono particular, at least, Mr.. Will
LIAMs was not much more successful
in dealing with Speaker CANNON thar
with the EX-Secretary of War. Mr.
WILLIAMS said:
Speaker CANSoN, In bis address to the Repub
Mcan convention. said that when tho Republican
party came into power II required to tho tanf

second mistake consists In the assertion that tn,

1881 contained not one hint Of an intention 70 raise

To this the obvious answer is the his
torical fact that the Republican National
Convention in Chicago on May 10, 1880
adopted as one Of the planks Of its plat
form the following:
THAT while providing revenue for the supper,

Such was the definite and very positive
declaration OF the Republican National
Convention OF 1880 on the question Of
protection; and to 1t essentially the Re-
publican party-as better stated by Mr..
Root than by Mr.. CANNoN-has adhered
ever since.
Mr.. WILLIAMS, likewise, was not at
his best when he uttered the subjoined
remark concerning Mr.. RooT personally: /:

sequent criminal trial in which TWEED
was convicted, but this conviction, on
appeal, was reversed by the Court OF Ap-

1t is pointed out that not the white

that the mercantile class in the South
