WANT TO SEE TIE JUDGE.

Poor Judge Parker: He is well
meaning man and would like to do
the very safest and sanest' thing III
the matter of making a speaking tour
but really he is in a quandary. AT
first he thought he would take west
ern trip and made arrangements for
his reception at st. Louis, but Henry
Watterson visited Esopus and told
the. cautious Judge that no touring
candidate was ever elected President.
That had great weight with the Judge.
for above all things else, he wants to
be elected. Accordingly. he Cancelled
his enga cement at ST. Louis. But
clamor has been raised by the people
who are expected TO vote for t. he 81
lent jurist. They don't like the
crowd he rims with very we'll and are
not waxing very enthusiastic over the
pen pictures and word paintings of Mr..
Hills candidate. SO now the word
comes that the judicial dignity and
the man fearing spirit are to be laid
aside and some speeches made no mat
ter what Henry Watterson says.

editorial which it took from the West
yiranian some weeks agoa s4Azgrfat
many people in this vicinity, who are
recent corners, do not realize what
the Republicans had to contend with
in times past, and SO for their benefit,
and at the request of one of our val
ued subscribers, we reproduce an edi-
torial which appeared in the Fairmont
Index, the foster mother of the Times,
in the fall Of 1892. The County Com
missioner referred to was Mr.. B.. D.
Fleming, one of our most highly es-
tecmed citizens:
The Recount.
The County Court is now engaged
in the recount of the votes cast for
the Office Of County Commissioner.
The Court has gone over the returns
and has ascertained the result for
every officer on the ticket except
Commissioner, and the result is stated
in our tabulated statement found in
another column. We have tried to
make this table correct, and it will
be found useful for future reference.
The result on County Commissioner
adding the vote Mr.. Fleming received
on both the Republican and Prohibit
ton ticket gives him a majority OF
ten on the face of the returns.
THIS MAJORITY is SO SMALL
THAT 1T CAN EASILY BE OVER
COME BY A RECOUNT. The work
Of counting OF the votes is very slow,
and it Will require several days. to
complete it. 1t is understood that Mr..
r a. Fleming, who was defeated on
she face of the returns for the Office
Of Justice of the Peace of this dis
trict, will demand a recount of the
totes for that office. There has been
no demand for any recount for any
other Office, and doubtless there will
be none. for the majorities are SO
large that they could net be affected
by a recount unless some gross irreg
,llarity was found and nothing of that
sort is charged and none exists. The
recount for commissioner will take
at least all of this weeh.-Fairmont
Index.
Of course, Mr. 3. D. Fleming was
counted out according to the Demo
cratic program. as other Republicans
had been before as we'll as afterwards.

why do birds live SO much longer
than mammals which are often u hun
dred times their size? Possibly, among
other things. because they have beakS
instead of teeth. All carnivoroUs beasts
become weak and Liable to starvation
as their teeth drop out o. break. Nei-
Their are the herbivorous animals in
much better case. Old horses would
probably die of starvation if Wild. for
their teeth would fail them; indeed. in
some stony countries old Horses have
to be killed because their teeth are
worn away by cropping grass close TO
the rock. Rodents constantly die from
injuries to teeth. Eut Al birds beak

eARpENs oF rHE ALcAzAR.
Greatest Charm Is Apparent Lack of
 Cultivation.

GredteSt Charm IS Apparent LACK or
 Cultivation.
 The garden of the Alcazar is one gar den composed of several, each opening into the other by steps descending from a terrace on through arches in marble or living green.
 All the gardens are surrounded with wonderful hedges or myrtle, juniper or box. If the gardens of the Alcarzar should be stripped of all but their hedges, palm trees and magnolias they would still be most wonderful. In some places walls about eight feet in height separate the gardens, and against these walls are trained orange and peach trees. with a tangle of jessamine and roses climbing among them as they will. In fact, the flowers grow in such careless and natural profusion, and there is seemingly so little cultivation, that one might almost think the hoe of 8 gardener had not visited the place for 8 hundred years. This very careless ness was one of the greatest charms of the place, and added to the effect of age that chung to everything. Modern gar deners would stand aghast at such ap- parent neglect
 I recognized that the very lack of modern care was artistic and suitable, and yet wondered, if the place were mine, whether I could forbear the use of shears, trowel and hoe. The hedges were trimmed. These, with some orange trees growing in a solid mass of green along some fifty, feet of palace wall. and reaching to the very roof, alone bore signs of the gardeners shears
 The flower beds were of intricate shapes filled with tangled mass of flowers, and aways surrounded with box. And such box. My heart sank within me when I thought of the box in my garden at home. where not even hudred mild winters and a hundred rainy summers could give growth like the smallest of that at the Aleazar.
 The bouquet that is considered in Se- vile as model of beauty and elegance was to our eyes a most hideous thing. In shape like a pyramid about four teen inches high, it was formed by fas- tening a magnolie bud to the top of smooth, round stick, and then wind- ing flowers tightly around the stick, each succeeding row becoming larger, so that at the bottom, the bouquet was probably two feet around. It was a frequent sight to see two men carry ing a pole between them, with from six to dozen of these bouquets swing ing, heads from the pole.-From

JAPAN-THE HOPE OF ASIA,

Japan is making the last stand of Asia. If 1t fails, Asia ceases to be a separate integer in human development and becomes an appange of Europe If Japan wins, it has wrestled we'll and overthrown more than it's enemies. It will become the teacher, first of China and then of a wider Asia. Japanese education wisely retains Chinese as it's classic tongue, playing the part in the training which Greek and Latin play, or did play, in our own scheme of lib- eral study. It's administrators and officers are alone in knowink both Chinese classics and modern science. They are ready for their task. They have already begun it. The prestige of victory will give them authority and acceptance in remodelling China. Japan, after all is alone in raising an Asiatic state to free self-government. Its in stitutions are less like ours than they seem on the surface. Prescription plays the prodigious part it always has in Asiatic society. The sense of personal loyalty to the Emperor is strong to a degree no European, much less an American. can appreciate or under stand. That singular attitude of mind which permits what to us seems abaSe- ment in attitude, ceremony and action, and yet preserves a complete self-re- spect, is retained by the Japanese. They vote, they have parties. they practise an amazing freedom of speech in Japan; but at the final limit politi- Tod T l.
 influences and principles unknown and alien to the West, but perfectly compre- hensible to the Asiatic, wno never for gets that the state and it's supreme head Is greater than himself, his party or his policy. Japan has the secret of using European science without ceas- ing to be Asiatic. It is a shallow. view of the Japanese nation which regards 1t as Europeanized. It remains at the core Asiatic. What it has borrowed is small by the side of what it has re- tained. The prospect, strong twenty years ago, that it's upper and intelli- gent classes would adopt Christianity has vanished. There has come instead a renaissance of Shinto faith, a revival of Buddhism country-and wide spread desire to preserve the Japanese attitude in faith, in morals and in social life. The Japanese soldier and sailor in arms, armament, uniform, organiza- tion, discipline and drill--is European, but he addresses himself to his task with reckless disregard of life, se- crecy, a subordination and a freedom from personal ambition which recall Asiatic rather than European tradition. --Talcott Williams, in The Bookloyers.
