PARKER CONVICTED.

Judge Parker must feel like hiding
his head in shame. He has been con-
vfcted of giving publicity to state
ment that is not borne out by the
| facts. He has stated, on several occa-
sions, that Chairman Cortelyou has
been collecting money from the trusts
for the Republican campaign fund
This, it appears OH the authority Of
| the Hon. James Wilson, Secretary Of
Agriculture. is not correct. He took
pains, in a speech at Chicago, to point
out that it was not correct. Accord
ing to Secretary Wilson, the man who
is engaged in the collection of money
from the trusts for the benefit of the
Republican party is not George Bruce
Cortelyou. but Cornelius N. Bliss.
This vindication of Cortelyou and
confusion of Judge Parker will be the
better understood and appreciated
when ii is recalled that Cortelyou is
the chairman of the National Republi
can Committee and Bliss is the treas
urer of that committee. Cortelyou is
the man who was. until he became
chairman, the Secretary of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor. Under
his supervision, the department gath
cred certain statistics bearing on the
trusts and their operations. Under the
terms of the law creating this new de-
partment the facts and figures gath
cred by it are to become public prop
erty or not. in the discretion of the
Secretary. Thus the Secretary is given
a big stick to hold over the heads of
the trusts especially when he switches
off and becomes a campaign manager.
Should the trusts contribute literally
to the campaign funds, their secrets
may be held inviolate; should they
prove stingy, or obdurate it would be
easy to give the public the facts con-
corning them in the possession of the
ex-Secretary-c campaign manager. That
is where Mr.. Cortelyou stands-in the
position of ex-Secretary in possession
of the secrets and campaign manager
interested in the size of the political
fun available.
But Cortelyou doesn't do any collect
ing, according to Secretary Wilson. II
is Bliss who does that. Cortelyou may
write letter to trust telling it to
come across" with a neat sum, but it
is Bliss who receives the check or the
gold; therefore. it is Bliss who does
the actual collecting, and Cortelyou's
skirts are clear!
What a simple and beautiful sys-
TEN of reasoning! When the gas COM
pany's collector comes around with the
bill, you pay the collector, and not the
gas company. When the ransom for
Ion Perdicaris was handed to an in
termediary, 1t was the Intermediary,
and not Raisuli. who collected the
money. That is how Secretary Wilson
argues.
The treasurer of the National Com
mittee is merely a clerical officer. His
business is to receive funds and dis
burse them on proper authority. He is
not an executive. The chairman. as
head of the establishment, is RESPONSE
BILE for the conduct of its affairs.
Secretary Wilson is known to be a
very good farmer, but as a political
apologist he is not an unqualified sue
cess.

PERSONAL.

Olive Thorne Miller. the well-known
author, after a residence of twenty
five years in Brooklyn has gone to live
in Southern California. She and Mrs.
Sara Hubbard of this CITY, one of her
closest friends, have taken a bungalow.
Mrs. Miller, now over 10 years old,
is recognized as about the best au-
thority in this country on birds and
their habits. Far and wide she has
had the name of THE Bird Woman"
1t is known in inner circles of
Washington society that there has been
a complete break in the friendship
which formerly existed between Miss
Alice Roosevelt and Countess Mar
guerite Cassini, niece of the Russian
ambassador. The rupture occurred
simultaneously with the rumor that
Miss Roosevelt and Congressman Long
worth had become engaged, and this
fact has been the cause of a good many
mods and smiles.

"cLAIM EVERYTHING,

The spirit of Zach Chandler still in
! spires the Republicans. 1t was he who,
| in 1876, when it was known that Tilden
| possibly be counted in, telegraphed to
Republican leaders, claim every
thing" BY claiming everything. with
or without reason. Chandler argued
that a plausible excuse could be fur
nished for holding on to anything that
might be purloined. And subsequent
events proved that his acumen was
keener than his political sense of right
and wrong.
once again the Republicans are
claiming everything, with apparently
as little reason as they had in 1876.
Some gamblers in Wall street and else
where are willing to offer odds on the
success of the Republican national tick
ct. This is taken by the party bosses
to forecast inevitably a sweeping Re-
publican victory. 1t chances to be
known that the Republican National
Committee has sent money into Wall
street for the especial purpose of in
huencing the betting. Many Of the
bets reported in the papers, it has been
charged openly, have been manipulate
ed. They are not made in good faith.
but between confederates with the
purpose in view of creating the i'm
preston that public sentiment, as read
by the sporting" fraternity, is all
one way. The New York correspond
ent of one of the most reliable news
papers in the country Is authority for
the statement that not one in four of
the big bets that we read about in
the papers, with odds on Roosevelt,
is made in good faith. OF course, it
is as easy to wager 81, 900 at 10 to l
as it is to bet 10 cents, even, If one
is not expected to pay in the event of
loss. But there is unquestionably a
large element that is influenced by the
reported betting odds. This same ele-
ment likes always to be on the win
ing side. When an individual of this
element takes up a paper and sees
Roosevelt quoted at 5 to /, he says,
what's the use of voting the other
way <AAlO Ills AllCAlAlclll0ll 10 " SO Win
the winning side.
This supports the policy of claiming
everything for the moral influence that
it will have. A stampeded voters ballot
is just as good as any other.
But there are reasons for thinking
that the voters in the doubtful states
are not going to permit themselves
TO be stampeded this year, or bam-
boozled by the cIaim-everything policy
of the Republicans. In 1892 the Repub-
the Democrats carried it by over 49,
900. The Republicans were cock-sure
of Illinois and Indiana, but the DEM
ocrats carried them by comfortable
pluralities. The Republicans claimed
Wisconsin and New Jersey were as
sure for Harrison as Pennsylvania;
but Cleveland got them. That is suf-
ficient to illustrate the real value of
some claims, like those that are now
being advanced. Meanwhile every re-
ten days goes to strengthen the opin-
ion that the Democratic ticket is gain
ing in favor and that it stands an ex-
cellent chance of success next week.
The Democracy is not making wild
claims, nor is 1t using money in Wall
street to influence the betting; but
should the result next Wednesday in
dictate Parkers election the Democracy
will not be surprised.

DEMAND FOR HUMAN HAIR.

From the Boston Transcript.
The largest dealers in human hair
in New York. who practically supply
the hair crop for the entire country
are authority for the statement that
the demand for this commodity was
never as great as 1t is at present. The
result is that the price of all shades
and styles of human hair is rapidly
soaring upward. There has been an
advance in the price of first-class hair
of from 80 to so per cent. within the
last three months. The present indi-
cations are, judging from the size OF
the crop now being imported, that
there will be a still further advance in
prices during the winter months. One
dealer said to-day that It is almost
impossible to supply the demand for
frst-class gray hair. A wig Of gray
human hair of fine quality is worth
it's weight in silver, or perhaps even
in gold.

CURES RHEuMArIsM.
From the Mexican Herald.

There is a miner in town at present
who has with him piece of miracle
stone" as the Indians of Chihuahua
call an exceedingly peculiar rock that
is occasionally come across in the
Santa Eulalia district. They have
long attributed healing properties to
it, and have been accustomed to car
rying pieces of 1t around in their
clothes.
And not the Indians alone, but also
the American miners of that region
have faith in the strange stone. They
maintain that 1t cures rheumatism,
miners consumption" kidney trouble
and a number of other diseases.
Doctors and professional men gen.
orally have laughed at this =credence
and have treated it as unworthy of
consideration. And yet the miners
have gone on believing in the thing in
their persistent unscientific way, for
there is a sort of a common sense
argument that appeals to them in IA
vor of this curative stone. and it is
that they have seen many cases Of
maladies and evil apparently cured by
the carrying around of a piece of this
stone or ore.
Now the scientific men are begin
ming to admit that there is likely
something after all in the alleged
medicinal virtue of the miracle stone.
Analysis has been made of several
specimens and all have been found
to reveal a considerable amount Of
radio-activity. The discovery of the
marvels of radium causes reflective
persons to pause before they condemn
the Northern miners for their faith in
an insensate rock.
Some pieces of the miracle stone
possess in a high degree the quality
of emitting a brilliant light when
rubbed with a metal substance, or
even when scratched by the finger
nail. The light becomes more in
tense when under water.
If Prof. Curie or Prof. Ramsey or
their successors can find out the true
inward secrets of this substance, the
day may come when we shall carry
around bits of radioactive rock in our
garments, and give the laugh to the
physicians and the drugstore men.

GOLF pLAYER's LEFT SHOULDER,

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
The right shoulders of persistent golf
ers' coats have to be padded, for golf
develops the left shoulder so abnor-
mally that without this padding the
young men would look little deform-
ed.
In driving, the players right arm
and shoulder only guide the balls
course; 1t is the left arm and shoulder
that do the work. Hence the exces-
sive left side development, to counter
act which 1t is sometimes necessary
to put in the right shoulder Of the coat
padding an inch deep.
Tailors can always tell a golfer by
this peculiar development of his left
shoulder. Sometimes young women
play enough to get uneven shoulders,
too. The deformity. though, is rare
among young women, whereas among
young men II is common.
