LOOKING BACK.

The campaign Is about to come to a close and 1t is proper enough before the actual decision is rendered to note the management on the Democratic side. This, it seems to us, has been wise and cautious and at the same time as inspiring as possible, when the thronging embarrassments of the early part of the year are taken into consideration.
 It would have seemed foolish even eight months ago to predict that by October of this year. the Democratic party would be found united and har- monious In every State In the Union The pace was set by the National Con- vention at St. Louis, which by com mon agreement was one of the most remarkable bodies ever brought to- gether in the United States. This was dominated by a fixed determina- tion to sacrifice all factions with the one purpose of consolidating the party for the impending battle. If there is any disposition to question whether the high spirit and fine resolution oi the St. Louis convention long remain ed 1t had only to be looked for in the various State conventions that follow

 Republican who knows officially to me, speaking of the odds in betting, that he would not make any but an even bet, and would make that with the knowledge that he might lose. It may be he Is an over-cautious man, but I have not heretofore regarded him as such.
 A definite program has been pretty closely followed by the Democrats in the campaign. It Is quite certain that at the start the National Committee cx- pected to have more money than they subsequently, got But getting their affairs adjusted and finding how little. relatively, they could depend upon. they programmed accordingly. The could not maintain at high pressure long campaign. Therefore. just what had to be done was taken care of at the early stages, and their resources were largely held in reserve for the last two weeks of the campaign. Starting last week they have been steadily pit- ing on more steam. and now they arc running under forced draft with all the power they have. and believe they are going to be able to make port. The Republicans have apparently been lax in their provisions to parallel tho speaking program of the Democrats here for this week. Root and Taft are the only men of really national reputa- ton scheduled to speak for the admin istration, while the Democrats have a long list of distinguished speakers, be- sides Judge Parker and Senator-elect Rayner.

SHOULD BE PUNISHED.

There has been much comment, and unfavorable comment at that, on the discreditable conduct of some of the North Carolina State troops on their way to attend the Manassas maneu- vers. One of the worst charges made was that members of the 1st North Carolina Regiment broke into and loot ed a number of stores in the little town of Reidsvilie, and otherwise conducted themselves In a manner highly unbe- coming and reprehensible. The Will mington Dispatch is not disposed to mince words about 1t and says:
 They should be punished severely for their outrageous conduct. A simple dismissal from the Guard would not answer in this case. If the military regulations are not sufficient to deal inal laws of North Carolina should be invoked to punish the looters for their crime.
 We agree with The Raleigh Post in thinking 1t strange that some men who wear the uniform of the National Guard are so forgetful of what 1t sig
 
 nifies that they take 1t as a license to commit acts that would land them in jail If committed in plain clothes. '" That is true, and 1t is equally strange that there Is such a general disposi- tion to look leniently on conduct in soldiers which would be so unsparing- ly condemned in plain citizens. The fact is that the wearing of the uniform ought to make It's wearers especially careful of their conduct. In one sense they are conservators of the peace, and not only the dress but the position makes 1t peculiarly incumbent on them to take care not to transgress the civil laws and not to be guilty of wrongs which any good private citizen would be ashamed of. We very much doubt if such conduct as that at Reidsville can be put down or properly punished by mere dismissal.

GIVES QUICK RELIEF.
Regular Use of HyOmei Cures Mo
 Stubborn Case of Catarrh.

Regular Use of HyOmei Cures Most
 Stubborn Case of Catarrh.
 No other medicine gives such prompt relief as Hyomei in the treatment of catarrh.
 The first breath of this remedy soothes and heals the irritated and smarting air passages, and the regu- lar use for a few days or weeks will cure the most stubborn case. Some of the reports of those who have been cured of catarrh by Homei read like miracles.
 John s. Gray of Redmond Hills, Pa.. writes: q am S2 years old and have been a sufferer with catarrh in the head for 25 or 30 years. I have doc- tored with many specialists and they all told me that the disease was incur able on account of my age. After using Hyomei a short time I was great ly benefited and can now say that I am entirely cured. It has been six months since I stopped using the remedy and still remain cured"
 The complete Hyomei outfit costs but $1. %, consisting of an inhaler, drop per and sufficient Hyomei to last sev eral weeks. This will effect a cure in ordinary cases, but for chronic and deep-seated cases of catarrh longer use may be necessary. and then extra bottles of Hyomei can be obtained for soc.
 Probably the strongest evidence that can be offered as to the powers of Hyo- mel to cure catarrh is the fact that E. G. Fowler will agree to refund the money if you say that Hyomei has not helped you. nov 3-11-17.

 Indianapolis Special.
 Senator Beveridge is reported to have admitted that the State is in dam ger.
 Conditions are such that I have re- solved to look out for my own end" Is what MT. Beveridge is quoted as hay ing said at Republican headquarters at Muncie.
 T will not go through the State with the Fairbanks special train. In my opinion Indianapolis and Marion county are lost. There will be al least 1000 majority for the Democrats It may be more than that"
 Continuing, Senator Beveridge is re- ported to have said:
 "Organized labor in Indianapolis is working hard for the entire Demo- cratic ticket. The cause of their oppo- sition Is the fact that Hanly. our can- didate for governor, has aroused their antagonism and, unfortunately, the op- position to Hanly affects us all,
 Tt is now a case of each man for himself and God for us all. I have made up my mind that conditions i'm pose upon me the necessity of looking strictly after my own interests for the few days left in this campaign"

last month in the southern counties. His meetings are largely attended and
 enthusiastic, in marked contrast to Deneen.
 MT. Stringer believes he will be elected and that the electoral vote of
 Illinois will be cast for Parker and his opinion, and the national questions of imperialism, the tariff and the trusts are breaking down the normal
 Republican pluraiities in many coun- MT. Stringer said today that there | are no signs whatever of Republican | landslide, and that the estimates of the vote of the State given out by the Re- publican managers have absolutely no | foundation in fact. He believes that | the landslide will be Democratic in- stead of Republican
 There is a common impression" !"
 said Mir. Stringer. that Illinois is the | Gibraltar of Republicanism; that the J lines of the Republican party in this 1 State are so strong as to be impreg- | jority In our Commonwealth Is at least one hundred thousand. This impress sion prevails among both Democrats tom of the unbridled confidence of all Republicans and the faint-heartedness of many Democrats. Recently I took
 the trouble to examine into the returns of elections in Illinois for many years past, to determine, as nearly as possi- ble. what is the normal ~-epubiican
 majority in Illinois: I found that 1t | did not exceed 10000.
 In some States a plurality of 10000 would seem to be a very csubstantial not to say formidable lead, but when you stop to consider that in Illinois Is l situated the second largest city of the l United States, having a population of
 nearly two millions, and the immense | floating vote inevitable in so great a
 metropolis, this lead of 40, 900 votes sinks into comparative insignificance. l In other words. the vote of Chicago Is
 likely. at any time, to overrun a plu-
 rality of 10000 in the entire State. and
 no great sensational wave of public
 sentiment would be required to work | this change.
 So far as the Democrats and tnde-
 pendents are concerned, I feel that the
 situation today is very similar to that | of 1892. The Democrats are united | they have a disposition to fight. If
 l read aright the attitude of the inde-
 pendent voters of IIlinois-and I have
 personally talked with thousands of them-they are generally well satis-
 fled with Judge Parker and are afraid
 of President Roosevelt's radical ten
 dencies. They age going to go to the | polls and do the same thing they did
 in 1S92-vote the Democratic ticket.

The New York Mail is hard pressed for anti-Parker arguments when 1t in- inmates that his telegram of thanks to MT. Bryan for his services was insin- cere. Mir. Bryan has been earnest in his advocacy of the ticket and those who are best informed say that he is doing much good./ It was right and proper for the Judge to thank him, and the insinuation of The Mail that he was hypocritical, or that he has be- come a convert to Bryan's silver views. is a contemptible bit of partisan intol- erancN.

MuRDERING THE INFANTS.

Of all food adulterations that which tampers with the milk we drink Is most reprehensible. It is not only frequently loaded with disease germs. and contaminated by the addition of various other substances, though that is bad enough. but that is not all. The difnculty. especially in cities, of getting fresh milk has forced condensed milk largely into use. Another reason for It's almost general consumption is the belief that 1t is pure. which is not the case, by great deal The Advertiser had something to say some days ago about the agitation in New York, and now The Commercial of that city says that ''the markets in New York city and State are just now flooded with low grade condensed milk, offered un- der q great variety of brands, that is on sale in open defiance of the statute and is not only a menace to the peo- ple's health, but is working a material Injury also to the packers of pure milk. It finds ready sale because It's price is far below the point at which pure milk could be sold at a profit. The consuming public is being hum- bugged into a belief that 1t is 'Just as good as the best"
 The great wrong in this adulteration Is that it Is a crime against the in- fants of the country. So many of them In this day are bottle-fed, and impure milk is such a menace to infant life. that 1t may with truth be said that the lives of the little ones are virtually at the mercy of the milk cans. Adults have chance to escape dangerous ldulteration and choice is left them. and because they are not only better able to withstand such dangers but have a greater variety of foods to choose from. With the baby no such chance exists. It gets the one diet and has no choice in the matter. Those who put up this milk are not only menaces to life but they bring both loss and suspicion on those who pre- pare and sell a pure article. If there are laws to punish any food adultera- lions they should be especially severe on those who virtually poison the milk supply.

JUDGE PARKER.

Is Doing Fine Work on the stump New York Special
 Judge Parker has been hitting straight from the shoulder, thereby causing surprise as well as satisfac- tion among the Democrats who thought of him only as judicial parsonage, incapable of performing the more strenuous and practical work of a cam paign. Whenever his statements have been challenged by his opponents he has produced official evidence in sup port of them and there can be no doubt that the Democratic cause has been greatly benefited thereby.
 Stories of $12,000 being bet on Roose- welt to S2000 on Parker were published by the Republican press. but investI- gations by The World and other af- ternoon papers show them to be who'll ly without foundation. The plain fact of the matter seems to be all the big bets are what are known as leash wagers"-rank fakes. in other words and that the amount of actual cash being placed Is very small indeed. The idea prevails that the Republican managers, having plenty of money. are using part of 1t to make better plays with, thus keeping thA ostensible odds at about the present figure.

Joe Wheeled Id tbe Fromf.

General Joseph Wheeler thinks of going to Manchuria as a spectator of the war between Russia and Japan. The only difficulty in the way is that of expense, for General Wheeler Is by no means 8 rich man; He has always will win by the weight of numbers and superiority of resources. ."Japan'sl only hope" says the general, was in a se- ries of smashing blows quickly deliv- cred, which would haYA shattered Rus sian power in the F8 East in short order. They have not been able to do this, and. in my judgment, Rusia will certainly outlast them. Japan is now approaching the first serious crisis of the war. I refer to the conditions at home. The first flush of triumph is past. the hardship of modern war Is now benig felt. There is hardly 8 home in all Japan where there Is not mourning for lost or wounded sol- dter. The Japanase are experiencing the. bitterness and sorrows of war and soon will have to show whether they care to go on losing men,"

 According to a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Kansas mixed schools must be maintained in that much-muddied State. We suppose the good Republicans will cheerfully see their fair-skinned progeny seated alongside the ebon-hued sons and daughters of Ham and consider it an honor thus to aid in maintaining the universal brotherhood of man. If people like that sort of thing that is the sort of thing people will like, but we suspect there are white people even in that State who have not lost all pride of grace and who are disgusted with the state of affairs. The way to relieve themselves of such humiliat- ing conditions is to elect state officials who will think more of maintaining race purity than of securing the colored vote for the Republican ticket. Kansas has some 15.000 colored voters and their loss to the Republicans would upset things. Hence the whyness of the wherefore.

ed it in the Northern ana Eastern states. Every one of these went to prove with the National Convention that the Democracy. as a party. Is more completely united than it has been, since 1884. MT. Cieveland's great tri- umph in 1892 was more in the nature of q personal tribute to the man than . victory for an organization.
 It is altogether difrerent now. The party as party is behind the ticket put out at St. Louis and not speaking of Southern conditions, all through the North and West, the unexampled size of the demonstrations made at public gatherings are proof enough that there will be a fine account rendered on November 8. There is absolutely not one fact on the surface or under the surface that warrants the blatant bragsing of the Republicans. As campaign trick this bragging may have its effect with some. But when the result is known, people will won der on what the insolent assurance of the Republicans was grounded.
 In tho matter of the issues that have been emphasized there Is only one thing to regret: That Is the lateness with which the question of tariff re- form was forced to the front. It con- stituted the natural line of cleavage and 1t has been daily used with great CT and greater effect in these closing days of the campaign. The manner in which the people at large have taken hold of 1t; their indignation that the manufacturing trusts should deliber- ately seek to buy the Presidency in or- der to maintain exorbitant and oppres- sive prices for the necessaries of life, furnish the plain clue for the Demo- cratic Party's policy in the future. The high protective wall must come down and the people will eventually, with out doubt. bring it down.
 Altogether whatever the result the party finds itself in better fighting trim than for many years past and that this is so is directly attributable to the wise and self-sacrificing work of leaders everywhere in the Union.

Ifno- body advertised we might claim that there was nothing to be gained by publicity, but when this way of at- tracting custom has actually developed into science, a business man must be very blind or very obstinate if he re- fuses to join in with the majority. The non-advertiser must and-will be relegated to the rear, along with other back numbers.
 As with individuals. so with city or a State. The reason why some States of the Union get more desirable immigrants than others do Is because they seize every opportunity to make known to the world their advantages as desirable homes for home seekers. The cities, too. are fast learning that they must advertise themselves to the world or fall behind in the march of progress. Just now there is an earn est and determined movement getting under way to advertise Montgomery. {. That 1t is a good movement The Ad- vertiser has all along declared. and that it will result in great good to the city should not admit of doubt. Some of the best and most successful business men of Montgomery are en- gagged in 1t. and they are not the men to give up an enterprise they have set their hearts on.
