Will Agree With the President.

Who among our workingmen is will
ing to favor tariff change which
would reproduce in the country the
stagnation, idlenesS and distress of
the years following 1898? What work
ingman does not see the wisdom of
a protective policy which maintains a
higher average wage in the United
States than that which obtains in Eu-
rope? Our myriads of Industrial
workers will heartily agree with the
president that tariff readjustment,
when made, must maintain and not
destroy the protective principle

PARKER WRITES OF ISSUES.
Democratic Nominees Letter OF Ac-
ceptance Made Public.

ceptance Made Public.
Judge Parker's letter, supplement-
ing his acceptance of the nomination
for President of the United States,
rendered him by the national Demo
cratic convention, has been made pub
lic- In the document he reiterates his
be lief in the gold standard and ex-
presses appreciation of the action OF
the convention on the subject
/ The Judge points out what he con-
siders the dangers in the centralizing
of power in the national government,
and takes strong ground against the
so-called policy of imperialism.
Tariff reform is declared to be one
of the cardinal principles of the DEM
ocratic party and it's necessity at this
time great. The Dingley tariff law,
the Judge asserts, is unjust and OPP
pressive and properly named the
Mother of Trusts He commits the
party to a change in tariff rates in
the event of a Democratic victory In
November, reasserting his belief that
the Republican senate will be unable
to prevent it.
Though disproved by official statis-
tics the charge is made that the cost
of living has increased far beyond ad-
vance in wages, and for this condition
the rapacity of the trusts" fostered
by the Dingley tariff, is held to blame.
On the subject of the trusts the
document deals only in generalities,
pointing out no remedy and saying
only: Il favor such further 1egisla-
ton, within constitutional limitations,
as will best promote and safeguard
the interests of all the people,

A policy favorable to the building
up of an American merchant marine
is advocated, though the methods by
which this should be done are not
mentioned. The granting of subsidies
for the purpose is denounced.
Judge Parker promises, in the event
of the election of a Democratic eXecu-

of all government departments.

Judge Parker's pronouncement in
favor of hauling down the American
flag in the Philippines and scuttling

The Mysterious Wretch Who NonnIn-
aIIv Governs Tibet,

inc Mysterfous Wretcn VINO Non1fn-
ally Governs Tibet.
There is not one person IN a hun
dred in this country who knows who
or what the Grand Lama is, although
everybody has been talking in very
guarded phrases about him since all
the hubbub was caused a few days
ago respecting the approaching British
advance on Tibet. where this person.
age has his headquarters. The Grand
Lama-or Grand Dalai Lama, TO give
him his full title-is a man, or rather
a boy, living in the sacred city of
Lhasa. who Is generally regarded as
an incarnation of Buddha; and mas
muoh as the government of Tibet is
purely religious. the Grand Lama is
the head of it. and nominally the
equivalent to the monarch.
The latter reservation has to be
made because the real administrator
is n person bearing the title Of the
Gyalpo, In whose hands the Grand La
ma appears to be little more than q
useful tool. The Grand Lama always
dies young, and nobody knows exact.
ly how except this Gyalpo, who could
probably write few very good chap
ters of Tihetian history concerning the
coming and going of the successive
Grand I.amns, who rarely have a reign
of more than IL years. It is the Budd-
hist tradition that they die Of mys-
terious disease. and In due course
the Gyalpo says they have died. But
there is always Grand Lama. and
so at the same time he announces
that the spirit mas descended upon
little child, who will be found in a
certain family in a certain house, and
whose appearance he describes. The
people hurry there, and sure enough
there is that same little child, who is
carried off to the palace and becomes
the new Grand Lama.
The present unfortunate young crea-
ture who sits in Buddhist authority
over the people of Lhasa has never
been seen by any Europeans. least
of all by any Englishman. although
leading articles are being written
about him every day saying what he
will do and what he will not, as If he
were a grown-up and authoritative
monarch. When the Grand Lama was
last seen by any foreigner, and that is
some years ago, he was described as
caild of about eight years Of age, of
bright and fair complexion, rosy
cheeks, and large and lustrous eyes.
But, though SO very juvenile. he was
emaciated, and looked already to be
quite tired of life. He was sitting
upon peat altar. which was some
thing like en- Oriental throne in APP
pearance, and was borne by lions
carved in wood. He was a study in
yellow. A yellow cloak enveloped his
body, and a yellow hat OF mitre shape
was upon his head. He sat cross
legged, and when any visitors ap-
preached he put his palms together as
sign of blessing. Surely this is the
strangest enemy-if enemy we must
regard him-that the British nation
ever had.-Men and Women.

The Grumbllnd Habit.

Grumbling is a common habit with
some people, and the singular feature
rs that no one grumbles over any real
ly serious calamity. only about the real
or imaginary annoyances of everyday
life, which might as we'll be passed

A long train OF passenger cars stop

necessarily the front and rear cars
were a considerable distance from the
station platform Immediately there

This is an outrage" exclaimed a
lady, as she got out of the front car.
'I've got to walk about mile back to

At the same moment a lady who was
getting out of the rear car was ex-
claiming:
Ibid any one ever see the like!
paid my fare to the station, but 1t
seems the company is too mean to
carry me there. This ought to be ex-
posed"
Then there alighted man from the
middle car, directly opposite the plat
form.
OF course, you will say, he was sat-
isfied. Not at all. He also was q
grumbler, and must have his say.
AS he decended from the car and
law that he was in front of the station
door, he remarked
Huh! hit it right this time. Must
have been an accident. though. Com
