THE PARKER coPPERHEAD CLUB.

To the Editor OF The Tribune
Sir: Were not the principal members OF the So
called Parker Constitution Club Democrats and
Copperheads in favor OF constituting the Consti-
tuition IN conformity with the claims and demands
OF the slave-holdng South Immediately prior the
outbreak Of the Civil War? II my information is
correct those OF them who old enough at that
time TO make themselves heard believed In the rigid
enforcement OF the Fugitive Slave law. which gave
10 Southern slave holders the right come into
Northern States with their man catchsrs and hunt
down the wretehed slaves. and women, who
had fed from the gross cruelty OF their Southern
owners.
AT that time. when IL suited their purpose tho
Southern slave holders and their Northern dough
face sympathizers great believers IN the Con-
stituton. Now II suits their purpose 70

Judge Parker, calling attention 10 the Demo
cratic attacks upon the constitutional rights or
his race and. in view of the issue thus raised
asking for candid and encouraging declara-
tion" and saying that the cOlored voters want
ed to know that in supporting him they would
be voting for a man "who believes In equal
rights before the law to all creeds, classes and
races and that your election Will mean at
least no change to their detriment And TINS
is the candid and encouraging reply he re-
ceived:
l am indeed very grateful to you for your
letter of recent date. Your suggestion VIII ne
most carefully considered as, indeed, would
every suggestion coming from you
His suggestion that the Judge should unequiv-
ocally stand for the Negroes rights under the
Constitution will be carefully considered.
But the smooth Judge, who had his political
training in the school of David B. HILL does
not commit himself TO anything. He could
write private letter to clear up the doubt
about his stand on the Philippine question and
say that by Sef-government he meant indepen-
dence but he couldn't run the risk of offending
German and Tilman and Vardaman by assur-
ing the negro that his constitutional rights
would be respected by Democratic President!
On that topic Judge Parkers only course Is
silence. and precious little of that. This latest
piece Of polite evasion is exactly in accord with
the character Of the trimmer as diagnosed by
'"The Evening POST at the time it spoke or
him as mot fit TO be President next year OF
any wear"

CHAIRMAN COWHERD's RAINBOW.

The Hon. William s. COwherd, of Missouri,
chairman of the Democratic Congressional CON-
lnittee has issued election forecast whlch
makes the visions of the Hon. Tom Iaggart
''look like thirty cents" Mr.. Cowherd believes
in thoroughness and when he takes out his pad
and pencil he gives the public its money worth

wyoming and Utah. According 10 his calcula-
lions published on Sunday, the Democratic
membership in the next House of Representa-
fives will be 225, and the Democratic majority
IN that body will be Ca This is about twice the
majority the Hon. Jim Griggs figured out in
1902. but that may only prove the Hon. W. S.
Cowherd TO be twice as versatile and twice as
imaginative n statesman.
glance at Mr. Cowherd's table leaves one
wondering why his talents did not win an
earlier recognition. As a rainbow chaser he
easily leads the Democratic galaxy. Griggs
Carmack James X. Jones' Calvin s. Brice, Tag
CART and Trey WoodsOn seem like foolishly con-
servative sheet writers alongside of Cowherd
In New England the Missouri statesman elects
nine Democratic Representatives. He takes
two in Rhode Island four in Massachusetts and
three in Connecticut Vermont and Maine have
already voted for Congressman. Otherwise the
Democratic total in the NewEngiand States
would doubtless have been boosted to eleven or
thirteen AS matter Of fact, of the five New
England seats now Democratic two are pretty
certain 10 be lost. and If two others are gained
the Democratic managers will be lucky. In this
State Mr.. Cowherd makes nineteen OF the thirty
seven districts Democratic Two years ago at
least three normally Republican districts were
lost but the Democratic representation rose
only 10 eighteen. 1t will be fourteen or fifteen
this year. in all probability instead of nineteen
In New-Jersey Mr.. COwherd sees visions of vic

was lost in 1862. making the delegation stand
seven to three. Next week the Republicans will
probably carry eight Of the ten districts. In
Maryland the gifted chairman OF the Congress
sional committee takes iYe seats and gives the
Republicans one. In the last five elections the
Republicans have carried four districts twice
and six districts three times. In West Virginia
Mr. Cowherd is little more modest. He appro-
priates only three districts. In the last five cleo
lions tbe Democrats have carried one district

.LESTLcE TO KUROPATKIN.

Amid the troubled scenes of Russia's war at
least one admirable episode appears That is
the doing of justice, though tardily, to the man
who has conspcuousy done best, or least i'll, in
the whole campaign. General Kuropatkin has
at last been appointed commander in chief or
all the Russian armies in the Far East That
is only a fitting recognition of his merits and
his achievements. His early boasts about driv-
ing the Japanese from the continent and die
tating peace at Toxic and his later talk about
Turing the Japanese on" may be remem-
bered with an ndulgent smile. The last in
FIRMLY of n noble mind should easily be for
given. What is certain is that in circumstances
of peculiar embarrassment and difficulty he has
shown himself patient, resolute, resourceful and
possessed Of masterful ability in both defence
and attack. Russia may have had greater gen
erals than he, but the world will hesitate long
before it ventures to name them. Certainly not
one of them ever commanded in two rs great
battles as those of Liao-Yang and the Shakhe
River and not one held his ground against so
mighty foe as that which for months has con-
fronted General Kuropatkin.
The incident is Of good promise to Russia 1t
will be we'll TO have all the armies in the Far
East under one control, instead of having one
under Kuropathin and a second acting indie
pendently under Gupenberg. 1t will also be
well to have for that supreme commander the
of the real situation there and at least more
competent than any one else to deal with it.
Had Kuropatkin been put in supreme command
al the beginning the campaign thus far would
probably have been far more profitable for Rus
STA than il has been. 1t may be an open cues
ton whether even he. at this stage of affairs
will be able TO recoup the losses that have been
suffered and repair the mischief that has been
done through divided counsels and through tho
Grass ineptitude of his titular superior AT least
we may be sure that whatever can be done 10
that end he will do. II he does not win n com
plete victory for Russia. he will minimize her
defeat
AS for the unhappy blunderer who now prac-
ticay steps down and out of the place he bas
filled so badly. Russia may well rejoice In being
rid of him. He may still pose as Viceroy. but
1t will be as a viceroy with 10 army. no navy
and no civil government al his command-the
veriest fgurehead There he will be impotent
for mischief. He is now returning to st. Peters

From The New-York Times.

From The New-YOrk Times
Through a REORGANIZATION of the evidence and
the ascertainment of facts not previously known
70 IT, The Times reaches the conclusion that
Lieutenant Governor Higgins, the present Re
publican candidate for Governor, must he ac-
quilted OF the charges brought against him In
connection with his vote In the Canal Board
upon the contract with the FuruaCeville Iron
COmDauy The Times Is convinced that
these charges are not we'll founded, and in JUS
tice to Mr.. Higgins il takes this occasion 20 SAY
that the evidence does not warrant the belief
that his motives were other than honest and
quite compatible with a right view of pubic
duty. The fact that The Times opposes Mr..
Higzins's candidacy and sincerely desires his
defeat makes II the more willing TO withdraw
and abandon this baseless accusation

The expenditures of the nation have been
managed in spirit of economy far removed
from waste from niggardlness; and in the
future every effort will be continued TO secure
an economy as strict as is consistent with eff
cheney. Once more opponents have prom
ised what they cannot should not perform.
The prime reason why the expenses Of the gov
eminent have increased of recent years is to be
found in the fact that the people, after mature
thought, have deemed it wise to have certain
forms of work for the public undertaken by
the pubIic-(President Roosevelt.
