PARKER PE1TIfoGGED.

A. lifeless campaign has suddenly
been revived by the remarkable letter
or Roosevelt's replying to the SANDER
Gus charges Of his democratic oppc-
nent. The letter fell upon the country
with the suddenness Of a bo1nbshell
explosion in the still night, and the
result has been clear and unrnistak-
able disclosure Of the pettifogging
character Of Judge Parker.
Parker and other democratic orators
had accused President Roosevelt ana
his campaign manager, Cortelyou,
with having blackmailed trusts and ex-
torted from them large contributions
for the republican campaign fund I'M
der threats Of using against them in
formation gained by the government
thru its department of commerce and
labor. Roosevelt waited until the
charges had been reiterated by Judge
Parker himself and then he came back
in true Roosevelt style, different from
what almost any other president would
have done. He said that whether or
not trusts had contributed to either
tho democratic or republican campaign
funds was not the issue or the charge
but that the man who said that either
he or his manager, Cortelyou, had
blackmailed any trust or extorted any
contribution or made any pledge or
promise, in return for any contribution.

The London Times publ she's this
summary Of 81 letter written by the late
LII Hung Chang in September, 1901,
few weeks before his death:
If we leave the Russians in possess
sion Of Manchuria no serious harm will
ensue. for in that case friction will
arise between Russia and japan on the
frontiers Of Korea and q conflict IL
bound to brea kout.
In the event of war, should things
take an unfavorable turn for the Jap
anese, 1t will be our business to join
the Russians and help them crush the
Japanese. thus establishing u claim on
the gratitude of Russia, who. retaining
Korea for herself, will give Manchuria
to CVhinn.
If, on the other hand. tho Russians
are unable to Withstand the Japanese
we Gun join the latter and help them
drive the Russians out Of M anchuria.
Thus we shall get back Manchuria

was an unlntigated liar, and he called
for the proof of the charge. Malicious
fnlsehood' was the language used, but
the idea conveyed was clear. The pres
ident then said that he had put Cortel-
YOU at the head of his campaign be-
GAUGE he wanted man whom he could
trust to conduct that campaign with
out pledge or promise of any kind and.
with whitening sarcasm, he renarkei
that he was perfectly willing the
American people should judge his cam
paign by comparing the personality OF
Cortelyou with that of Tom Ta9gart.
the democratic manager.
The letter was original. 1t was dis
ttnctly Rooseveltian thing to do. Timed
adroitly, as II was. II came as n soas1.
ton, to wake millions of voters from
their apathy and stir them to vote. un-
der the apprehension that there was
Ing become Indifferent to the bugle's
playing, were never made more alert
by the sudden rattle of musketry In
the dead OF night. The effect was to
put the question right up to Judge
Parker for proof. He and his demo-
Gratis had charged Roosevelt and Cor
telyou with distinct crime of black
mailing trusts. Roosevelt replied by
calling them liars and demanding the
proof Of their charge.
But what did Judge Parker do? In
his Brooklyn speech he made n formal
reply saying that the president had
virtually admitted that campaign con-
tributions had been made by the trusts
and II so the trusts must have expect
ed some favors when they contributed;
that most OF them were beneflclaries
OF a protective tariff and when IL came
to giving II square DEAF az between
the American people and trusts which
had contributed, the president wound
find himself greatly embarrassed or
else he must prove himself basely UNI
grateful. Never a word was said as
to the Infamous charges of blackmail
and extortion to which the president
had replied. The whole question was
begged by resortlng to generalitles
about the obligations involved In every
contribution to Il campaign fund. yet
he knew that all political parties had
to have campaign funds, that trusts
had contributed to his own campaign
as we'll as to Roosevelt's. Before the
country Judge Parker convicted him
self OF pettifogging and of maliciously
slandering an opponent without the
manhood to apologize when called upon
for the proof, which he could not pro-
duce. There has not boon u cam
nnisn In years In wn'rh tho Democrat
lie candidate has shown himself SO
small man. Bryan, cratic and un-
safe as he was, was giarr OF man
beside judge Parker.
