FRIGHTENING PROSPECT S
FOX Parker.

As The Post indicated yesterday
the newspaper polls produced a de
cided impression upon the mind
of the politicians, and largely dis
sipated the effects of long weeks o
republican buster. Even the fake
bettors have drawn i'll their horn:
and confne their activities to their
own kind. Real money has terrors
for them.
There seems to be no doubt what
ever that New York is safe fol-
Parker. All the polls indicate that
much, even III cases where there is
no partisan wish in that direction
The Herald poll, compiled by a
shrewd, intelligent and intensely
partisan republican, comedies a
majority to Parker in Greater New
York of $4,000. The politicians
who have been dealing with the
Herald postal card system for years,
knowing the predictions of the
compiler, easily discern a vast dem
ocratic movement in the city By
applying the usual discounts and
additions, they easily see that Par
ker has a record majority in the
city, and that, by the same rule,
the republicans have not an over
whelming majority in the country.
1t is not the practice of the out
siders-non-New Yorkers-to at
tach serious. importance to these
newspaper polls, but New York
people have become accustomed to
using them as bases for guessing.
And the Herald poll proves to them
that Parker has the State we'll in
hand.
Indeed, judging from the Herald
specials in yesterdays papers, it is
proper to infer that the Herald
itself has been overcome by its own
Investigations. 1t admits, after re-
Fiction, a great democratic tidal
wave in the greater city and the
possibility of a less strenuous re-
publican wave in the rural coun-
ties.
The republicans have already
decreased their estimates, dropping
from $4,000 to $4,000 plurality to
$4,000 which they would give mil
lions to insure.
And what betting there has been
has turned with the tide and the
gamblers have come to recognize
the real strength of Judge Parker.
Herrick is again favorite and the
belief is justified that Parker will
be equally so before the week ends,
This cheering outlook is not con-
fined to New York city or the State
of New York. The same condi-
tons which prevail in the metrop-
oils are bound to exist in the Je--
sey and Connecticut suburbs, and
the inference that the great Parker
wave extends to both States is fully
justified, when the similarity of
environments is considered.
Added to the hopeful conditions
suggested by the postal card polls
of the Herald and Brooklyn Eagle,
the week opens with the democracy
on the aggressive all along the line
and the chances for z glorious
triumph Frightening with every
moment.-Houston Post.

 Finally, on January 26, 1901, Mir Newlands presented a supplemental bill, the one which, with certain mod ifications, was finally adopted in the last session of Congress.
 Throughout the long fight over the Newlands bill in both houses of Congress. the most prominent Repub- lican leaders labored strenuously to defeat it.

TOOK A -FLlER IN STOCKS.
And It Came In Handy for the We'd
ding Anniversary Of the Man
Who Invested.

1t was hot night in the first week of
August. The pharmaceutical chemist
was sitting among the bottles and test
tubes and mortars in his laboratory. His
family were in the country, and he
wished that he was with them, relates
the New York Sun. He happened to
be in his laboratory because there WASH t
any other place he wanted to go and
because he had some work to do. About
ten O'Clock his friend Quill dropped in
for nip of the doctors Scotch on his
way home.
Say, Doc,' said Quill, do you want to
take little fier in the market?
I'D rather take fier into the coun-
try" was the reply. But since can't
do that, let's hear your proposition. ID
BUY little international Power"
said Quill Its stock with a history,
I know, but got it pretty straight that
on or before October Is it'll be selling at
3 or better. It comes so straight that,
+ had some money to gamble with, I'd
buy a little myself and hold for about
ten point rise, just to have leeway
enough"
''I'l1 think about it, replied the doc
tor, and after nightcap with his friend
Quill. he went home The next night
Quill dropped into the laboratory and
the doctor said:
I'm in; got a hundred at 35, and my
broker was curious to know who put
me on"
Last night Quill dropped in at the
laboratory and the doctor remarked:
Say, neighbor. remember that Inter
national Power tip? Well, she touched
50 on Wednesday and I let her go. I
cleaned up just s1,700, thanks to you,
but that isn't the best of it. On October
10 the Missus and I will have been
married IL years. A good many things
might happen between now and the
18th, so 7 thought I'd cinch the ami
versary with a little something to make
it worth remembering. Therefore, hav-
ing banked the s1,700, drew check
for the amount and gave it to the best
part of me this morning, and she wanted
to know what it all meant. and said:
Well, honey, as an investment pure
and simple, I've calculated you've been
worth to me at least 500 a year for the
last II years, SO ] thought I'd better
settle She gave me a bat over the ear
and did some other stunts in which you
wouldn't be interested, and, womanlike,
she wanted to know where I got it, but
all I said was:

HOW JAPs PASS sENTRIEs.
Soldiers Request Guards to Look the
Other Way That They May

"A story Illustrating the child III tne
Japanese soldier was told to me some
time ago by O Hasu San, a woman
have known for several years, says d
San Francisco Argonaut writer. a
certain regiment left a certain station
on certain day-to be Japanesquels

they were allowed no farewells and
everyone thought it very strange

SIMPLICITY OF THE sWEDEs
Every Privilege of the Men Is Ac-
corded TO and Shared In
by the Women.

Sweden is called a Woman's paradise.
Women share every privilege offered
there to their husbands and brothers
and those who have to earn their liv-
ing find the doors of no profession shut
in their faces, says an exchange.
The fair sex invades every public de-
partment Women are the bank clerks
as well as the post office clerks and life
in a Swedish town is made pleasant for
the worker. Every day, for example, the
post Offices are closed from 3 to 5 o'clock
and during that time the clerks may rest
or take part in some Of the many out
door games that are popular there.
The state interferes little with the lib
erty Of the subject. Legal matters are so
arranged that the poorest man can hope
for justice at a small cost. Arbitration
is held in high favor.
Stealing is rarely heard of and the
more serious crimes are almost I'M
known. The street cars have no con-
ductors to collect fare; each passenger
puts the money in a little box by the
door. In places of amusement people
hang their hats and coats in large hall
and there is no attendant in charge of
valuable furs, often left to the mercy of
the passer-by.
Drunkenness is almost impossible, ow-
ing to the Draconian laws regulating
the sale of wine and spirits. No tobacco
can be purchased by boys.
Laborers are paid partly in money and
partly in goods. House servants are
poorly remunerated, according to the
scale Of wages prevailing in America.
A first-class eoachman gets but $50 a
year and the same sum satisfies a cook
houseEeeper, who often has to manage
the whole of large establishment. On
the other hand, the head of the estate
is expected to look after his people in
sickness and in health. He educates
their children, pays the doctor and
teaches their sons and daughters trades,
Sweden is a profoundly religious
country. The Bible is read aloud daily
by the head Of the family and Bible
is the first gift made by a young man
to his betrothed.

Polite conduetors in Berlin

One of the Beauties Of life abroad IS
the kind attention layished upon you by
public servants Take, for example, the
street car conductors in Berlin. The
cars do not pause at every corner, as
with US, but make a run Of three blocks
without stopping. When the conductor
sees passengers about to enter his car
ne steps off and, removing his cap re-
spectfully, waits till all are seated, when
he jumps on and gives the forward sig
nal. With each collected fare ne offers
a ticket for the passenger to retain ana
exhibit on demand as evidence that the
fare has been paid.-N. Y. Press.
