A writer who has lived in a remote Eng

old mOnkish days and to be now entirely
obsolete, and yet a Few years ego this
old belief was stiI firmly held by the
villagers The rector ; wife was visiting
a woman who had recently lost her hus-
band. After some hesitation she told the
lady that she wished to see the rector, for
she had something very particular to say
TO him. Or course. on hearing this. he
lost no time in visiting his perishioner.
She rose from her chair with much aiac-
rity and proceeded to drag an empty box
from a cupboard. What ! wants you TO

Esopus, ~ Y, Sept. 2G.-Tariff re-
FORM Imperialism, economical admin
istration and honesty in the public
service are held by Judge Parker to be
the leading issues of the scampaign.
These and other problems of state are
discussed at length in the judges let
ter accepting the Democratic nomina-
tion for the presidency. The commun-
ication is addressed to Hon. Champ
Clark, chairman of the notification
committee.
At the outset Judge Parker discuss
es what he terms imperialism, saying:
IF we would retain out liberties and
constitutional rights unimpaired we
can not permit or tolerate at any time
or for any purpose the arrogation OF
unconstitutional powers by the execu-
tive branch of our government. AL
ready the national government has be-
come centralized beyond any point
contemplated or imagined by the
founders of the constitution. How tre-
mendously all this has added to the
power of the president! The issue OF
imperialism which has been thrust
upon the country involves a decision
whether the law of the land or rule
of individual caprice shall govern"
There is urgent need at the present
time, holds the judge, for tariff reform.
He says the Dingley tariff is excessive
IL many of its rates, and unjustly and
oppressively burdens the people, and
continues: ct secures to domestic
manufacturers. singly or in combina-
tion, the privilege of exacting exces.
siye prices at home and prices far
above the level of sales made regular
ly by them abroad with profit, thus
giving a bounty to foreigners at the
expense of our own people. Its unjust
taxation. burdens the people generally,
forcing them to pay excessive prices
for food, fuel, clothing and other nee
essaries of life Such daties have
been and will continue to be direct

AS VIEWED BY PARKER.
Public Policy the Burden of the Judges Letter
of Acceptance.
HARRLN

Judge Parker favors doing for the
Filipinos what we have already done
for the Cubans, adding: Il favor max
ing the promise [of independence to
them now that we shall take such ac-
tion as soon as they are reasonably
prepared for it, 1t will tend TO stimu-
late rather than hinder development"
Liberal pensions are favored for sur
viving soldiers and sailors of the civil
war, but the writer AYERS that the ma
tional Democratic platform denies the
right of the executive to usurp the
power Of congress. to legislate on the
subject If elected president Mr.. Par
ker says he will revoke pension order
No. rs, and adds: But | go further
and say that, that being done, | will
contribute my effort toward the en-
actment of law to be passed by both
houses of congress and approved by
the executive that will give an age
pension without reference to disabil-
fty to surviving heroes of civil war"
The Judge contends that, as the gov
ernmental expenditures of the last
fiscal year amounted to $5S20OO, 900, a
thorough investigation of the public
service and the immediate abandon
ment of extravagant expenditures are
necessary.
He concludes: Shall economy Of
administration be demanded or shall
extravaganza be encouraged? Shall
the wrongdoer be brought to bay by
the people. or must justice wait upon
political oligarchy? Sha our govern
ment stand for equal opportunity or
for special privilege? Shall it remain
government of law or become one
Of individual caprice? Shall we cling
70 the rule Of the people, or shall we
embrace beneficent despotism?"

OF the trust question, Judge Parker

Judgment, San effectually be applied
against monopolies, and the assurance
was then given that If existing laws,
including both statute and common
law, proved inadequate, contrary to

SOME OTHER POLITICAL NEWS.

Hardinsburg, Sept. 27.-(Special J.
Senator James B. McCresry, of Rich
mond, spoke for Parker and Davis, at
the courthouse, Saturday, to an audi
ence OF about aHO persons He was
presented in an appropriate introduc-
tory speech by Judge N. McC. Mer-
Ger.
The Senator spoke about an hour
and half, making a fair and strong
argument, free for abuse and vituper-
alton. He first reviewed the national
conventions saying that the Repu bill
can convention was cut and dried, run
by one man, but that the Democratic,
.c&hvention was the most enthusia astic
convention he ever saw, and,that the
delegates themselves settled every
question that came up for considerae-
ton. He praised highly Judge Park
er's gold telegram, and said it evinced
his courage and principles. He discuss
ed the claim of the Republicans that
they had brought about prosperity,
and stated that the praise for the
prosperous condition of the country
was attributable to God
In speaking of reciprocity treaty
was negotiated.in 1856, under Prsei-
dent Pierce, with Canada. That the
Republicans had only made one such
treity-that with Cuba-and that they
had been forced to do that. On the
question of,the trusts, he said it had
been the policy of the Republicans to
foster them, and argued that the onl y
remedy was tariff revision, which he
heartily favored.
A portion of his speech was devoted
to-the personality of the president,
who. he said, is an egOtist, overbear-
ing and dictitorisl contrasting these
characteristics with the judicial tenn
perament of Judge Parker He discuss
ed the negro question In this connec-
tion quite at length, saying that the
presidents policy had again raised
sectional animosity and hatred, which

Senator discussed what he claimed to
be a new question in American poili.
tics, that of retallatory tariffs He
stated that France Germany and
Russia had enacted retahatory laws.
against the United states In particu-
lar, and that it would have the effect
of lessening the export of our surplus
products to these countries. He also
referred TO the atteulpt of Joseph
Chamberlain to revise the free trade
policy of England, and enact a tariff
law therag<
In referring to State politics, he
said that the Democrats ought to rule
IL sKentucky, since they cast two
'tnirds of the white vote and own
two-thirds of all the property. He
said that on the indictment against
Taylor, for completely In the murder
of GoebeI, was already written
the verdict, "GuiIty," and that there
was a hangman's moose prepared tor
him at Frankfort.
The Senator reference to William
Jennings Bryan evoked the most Wig
orous applause occurring during the
whole course of his speech, showing
that the NebraskaA still holds the
affections of the voters.
Not more than 800 people heard the
speech, which seems to clearly in
dicte that, generally speaking, the
voters are not taxing much interest
in politics tnis year.
