THE DEVILS WEAPONS IN POLITICs.
"A Washington correspondent has
started the story that Judge Parker
was induced to resign his position on
the bench and accept the nomination
for President, on the distinct under
standing that he would, if defeated, be
provided with salaried place at least
equal to that OF President. The OBJ
ject of this statement is simply to
minimize the Judges sincerity in the
great race he is now making and the
confidence aud enthusiasm OF his
friends and supporters. 1t will be
found, however, when the ballots have
been cast that they were controlled by
an undercurrent, just as in 1884, when
the success of the Democrats was
scarcely expected by themselves and
was certainly thunder-bolt to the
Republican party. The headline "Par-
ker to Get Coed Berth" is an effort
to establish by innuendo-the DEVILS
weapon-a belief that Judge Parker 8

Correction OF Local Ancient History.

attention to the fact that one of the
chee cha~ko dailies, OF this city, has,
in commenting upon the celebration
OF the semi centennial OF the Presby-
terrain church in this city made its
usual batch Of plumbers. Attention is
called to the misstatement that DR..
Henry, one of its members, lost on the
wrecked steamer Brother Jonathan,
was returning from San Francisco as
the church representative at a conven-
ton in the Bay City. The fact is, he
had been to Washington and had Just
attended memorial services of the
martyred President Lincoln. She

had been to Washington to attend the
inaugural Of Mr.. Lincoln, and was in
Richmond when the sad news of the
Presidents death april 18th, 1869
was telegraphed him by Mrs. Lincoln.
He attended the funeral and supported
the widow in the trying hour OF af-
Fiction when the nation mourned. A
few days afterward he started for home,
and have seen the letter te his wife
in which he narrated the main Incl
dents OF the tragedy and said he would
leave statement of details till he
reached home, but he never returned.
Besides, Mr.. Whitworth still lives in
Seattle, not San Francisco, just across

AS an indication of the able means
in which the Republican campaign is
being managed, its chairman sent a
stenographer to a country meeting to
secretly report one Of Horatio Alling's
speeches, in the hope that the speaker
would allow some expression to drop
that might be construed TO advantage
OF the other party. But to the utter
CONSERVATION of Chairman Henry, he
cannot find in the speech, equaling in
length Roosevelt's letter of acceptance,
a single expression that could, by any
possibility. be made to do service for
the opposition. Every diamond. point
in it cuts with equal readiness into the

Turner on the American Soldier.

There was great deal of iulsome
tiattery in Congressman Jones lauds-
tons of the American soldier, to make
a point against Senator Turner's esti-
mate OF the man in arms, when the
latter held that soldiers were, like
everybody else mortal, good and bad !;
"no better nor worse than those of
other civilized races" Sentiment
aside, is this not true? Where can a
more exalted evidence of patriotism lie
cited than OF the japanese, in their
present war with Russia?
The large majority OF enlisted men
in this country were actuated by a
sense OF duty and patriotism, but are
we prepared TO say that that impulse
with us is stronger than of any other
civilized, Christianized, Law. abiding
people? And We do know that some
enlistments, in Olympia, were made to
"get in on the government" The
writer has heard more than one who
afterwards enlisted, declare it was "To
have the certainty of three meals q
day and pull on Uncle Sans pocket
the remainder of life" The words
quoted are as nearly exact as memory
serves, but their intent and meaning
were exactly as stated. Is an estimate
of our soldiery, which gives ample
credit for patriotism and valor, as we'll
az judgment on their shortcomings,
any moro to be deprecated when made
by those in power than by the private
citizen? If Turner said that "the
lust OF blood infests him the soldier
as it does OF all men whose trade it is
to shed BLOOD" let it be noted that
Roosevelt said the same thing, that
"a true soldier should only not be
ready to fight but DESTROYS of fighting"
Every quotation Mr.. Jones made
from Senator Turner's speeches were
garbled and misquoted. The context
in many instances would explain what
was meant and eliminate all offense,
and the tone and infection of voice
by the Congressman, in others, carried
a meaning foreign TO the intent OF the
speaker quoted.

party elements which contributed to
his election, and the JUNCTION and EN-.

popular current that is bearing his
party to defeat.
