THE RUSSIAN EMPEROR.

The last number of The Quarterly Review published in London has a curious unsigned article on the Czar Nicholas II. The editors vouch for the authenticity Of the piece, stating in a note that it was written by a Russian official of high rank. The picture is a most gloomy one the writer draws and furnishes little ground to hope for any reforms under the existing ruler. The critic holds the Czar primarily respon- sible, through vacillation at times stubbornness at others. selfishness and vanity, for the whole circle of injuries inflicted on various subject races in Russia and attempted to be inflicted on the Japanese. The indictment is sum- med up in the following passage.
 Yet. undoubtedly, the power of the autocracy could be employed to further the cause of humanity, enlightenment and justice, If such were the will of from the Czar would cause a profound change to come over the condition of the country and the sentiments of his people. The responsibility for his acts cannot be laid upon the shoulders of his ministers. whose advice he re- frains from seeking m the most dan serouS cflSeS or ms reign. It was not his pinisters who prompted him to break the promise he had given to evaeuate Manchuria; they entreated him to keep 1t. It was not they who proposed that he should curtail the power for good still left to such insti- tutions as the Council of the empire, the committee of ministers and the governing senate. It was not they who impelled him to make the monar- chy ridiculous by seeking wisdom in the evocRtion of spirits and strength in the canonization of saints. It was not they who urged him to break up the Finnish nation by a series of inf quitous measures worthy of an Orien- tal despot of ancient Babylon or Per sia; on the contrary. they assured him in clear and not always oourtly phras- eology that justice anA statesmanship required him to stay his hand. It was pot his official advisers who suggested that he should despoil the Armenian church of its property and endowments while leaving all other religious com munities in the possession of theirs and should punish with bullets and cold steel the jealous members of that church who protested in the name of their religion and conscience. Almost all his ministers united for once in warning him that this was an act of wanton spoliation. and in conjuring him to abandon or modify his scheme But. deaf to their arguments, he insist ed on having his own way.

JUDGE PARKER BACK
 TO PRIVATE LIFE.
Candidate Quits Bench After Quarte Century Spent in Judicial O6ice.

Candidate Quits Bench After Quarter Century Spent in Judicial Of1ce.
 Esopus. N, Y, Special to New York After twenty-five years continuou. service on the bench. Alton Brooks Parker became a private citizen today when, at Albany this afternoon. he rendered his resignation as Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals to the Secre- tary of State.
 This act was taken in accordance with a decision reached many weeks ago and means that a member of the court will be elected this fall.
 When the Court of Appeals took it's summer recess on June IT minute was entered on the record that the court would reassemble on Monday. October 3. unless in the opinion of the majority the Chief Judge should deem 1t expedient to call meeting earlier. At that time 1t was felt that Judge Parkers nomination for President was probable. Today the court re-assem- bled in pursuance of a call Issued a couple of days ago. The session lasted hardly three minutes. A batch of opinions on pending litigation was handed to the chief clerk and then the court adjourned. Immediately there after Chief Judge Parker called one of the messengers and handed him an envelope addressed to the Secretary of State. This contained a brief formal tender of his resignation. While this was being read by the Deputy Secreta- ry of State to a group of interested spectators the six members of the court were exchanging condolences.
 Judge Vann. d Republican, but one of Judge Parker's most intimate friends, said he felt like crying. Judge Denis ,OBrien's voice trembled as he said "Goodby," and aged Celora Mar tin, who is to retire in a few months on account of reaching the age limit, was considerably affected. Judge Cullen and Werner shook hands with Judge Parker, and while wishing him success in his political ambitions, felt as if they were being deserted by a comrade whose companionship had been a continuous source of good fel- lowship.
 Merely thanking them for their ex. pressions of esteem their recent col league maintained his attitude Of dignified reticence. He was evidently touched and hardly dared trust him self to speak. Even when he had reached Rosemount this evening he still avoided any reference to his action at Albany. During the last few weeks he has been subjected to tre- mendouS pressure in both direction but from the beginning of the movement to make him the nominee of his party he has been determined to resign
 The step taken today is also con- sidered significant of the confidence felt at Rosemount and among the Demo- cratic leaders generally that their party will be successful at th. polls in November.

Your work will not be done until you assist in developing ev- cry agricultural district into a verita ble paradise of happy homes. where peace and prosperity dwell the year through. Upon your shoulders rests the meat and bread question. No one is SO well situated anywhere, but he must go to the farmer for breakfast and dinner, therefore, never cease your efforts until the farmer is placed where he belongs-the most useful class of people to be found anywhere and the first step to attain this desirable end. Is to build good roads-then, and not till then will prosperity come.

NO NEED FOR WORRY,

Nothing could more strongly empha- size the Republican lack of argument than their continual harping on the age of Mfr. Davis. To hear them ring ing the changes on this theme one who knows no better would come to the conclusion that in case of the death of both the Democratic President and Vice-President, old Chaos would at once assume charge of the government or what was left of it.
 The absurdity of such reasoning ought to be evident to any one who only stops to think that in the event of the death of the President and Vice. President the Secretary of State would at once assume charge. No unbiased have been infinitely better for the country if Roosevelt had died before Mckinley did. The Republican con- vention of 1900 would never have thought of nominating Roosevelt if there had been any apprehension that fate would make him President. Neith- CT Mckinley nor any other sensible President would appoint such a man as Roosevelt Secretary of State, and thus put him in line for succession to first place.
 If Parker and Davis are elected we have no reason for supposing that they will not live out their terms. but If they do not the credit and honor of the government will not be in danger by their death Parker. as President, will select for Secretary of State a man like Bayard, or olney. or one of their kind. who could step into the of- fee of President without danger to the government or the country. There need be no apprehension on this score and the Republicans may ease off and try to think of something better.

general terms. To do so would be to admit that he could not face the speci- against him. And yet if he talks, what can he say? He does or he does not believe in the kind of reciprocity which thousands of Massachusetts Re- publicans are determined to have. If he does, and says so. he will have to repudiate the reciprocity plank in the Chicago platform. But if he declares himself not in harmony with the view of local Republicans, he may hear from t when the Legislature is elected in November.

What We Must Eat.

Fort Gaines, Ga. ), Recorder.
 The Chicago Journal Is not a convert to the doctrine of vegetarianism. l,
 "For example, the London vegeta- rian Society has just issued an ideal dietary on which an individual can live for 16 cents a day It consists exclu- sively of oatmeal porridge and milk b1 cad and butter an egg and cup of cocoa. a plate of bean soup, potatoes and cheese. What free born citizen would willingly consent to go through life on that? No! Better be dead, com fortable and nice!"
 In the first place, this is ro- vegc- table menu; Milk, butter, eggs and but that doesn't matter. We do not advocate vegetarianism, but the blii nf fare given above lacks very muc1 of being in the nature of a penance. Many long shot. and most people who enjoy life reasonably well would f givcn their choice, rather live as abo 70 than
 be dead, comfortable and nice, or oth- erwise.
 The fact is that dieting is largely a fad. We read occasionally of q .Snten- arian who has lived on d vegetable diet all his life. and at once certan n that has prolonged his life. Then we hear of another old one who has all hls llfe eaten just as he pleasel. but if wo ask the vegetable eaters about him tHoy Wll uecIdie tlat ms case ,S an cX- ception. So. also. one man never us@d tobacco or spirits and lives to De very old. That is an argument for strtct Iemperance in all things, but here comes a man equally as old who has never failed to eat, drink, smoke arS chew as he desired. What is that a 1 argument for? Blest if We know .o we may assume that many people eat to top muCh Tn hot weather, espeC at'v tohse who lead sedentary lives ,,I anG . we may also admit that good wav io get the best of the meat trusts is to to of ge gely ,o Gurtall the use of meat, Is most @ to It; & We feel sure, however. that na't'd iS : Hiu1 innui iEinlcago contemporary will naki. rII9uipes nIe ir it will find thousands of n u.os be be assured i@ i.S oWn ny city who would rlaiiy oMsi, oiet or which it speaks so contemnt m fne

A CHARACTERISTIC TRICK.

It seems to be well understood in Washington that the recent bulletin put out by the government showing the increase of wages in certain industries during the last ten years. was hurried ly printed for use during the cam paign. A companion bulletin which, as everybody knows. If 1t Is remotely truthful will show a marked increase in the cost of living is to be withheld, for one month? two months, three? No
 until after the election. There is the very cunning of the ostrich in this sticking of the Republican head in the sand. These sly dogs really seem to think that somebody can be fooled in to supporting tho Republican ticket by the figures of a statistical table that shall demonstrate labor is receiving better wages. Statistics have their value of course, but 1t is as plain as a pikestaff that no man can be convinced by a stranger or a friend as for that matter, that he Is doing better, mak- ing a better living than he had SUD- posed. This question of ones own prosperity comes home in a supreme way to mems homes and bosoms. These partisan tables. put forth for a distinct partisan purpose will make merry reading to the mill laborers of Fall River, for example: to the tens of thousands of railway employees who have been discharged in the North and West. They will furnish food for laughter everywhere when 1t is pro- posed to post figures at the door of every household showing that that household is prosperous, happy and contented. Each household will speak for itself, of itself and to itself.

A LOST OPPORTUNITY.

Inc hd{lSaS Slty JOuTndI IS trying hard to justify its opposition to Folk for Governor of Missouri, and in a re- cent issue 1t says:
 The Journal is a Republican paper, but there is nothing hidebound about it. It declared many weeks ago that if the Missouri Republicans should commit thet blunder of nominating a colluston with the poodle crowd. 1t hoped Folk would beat him a thousand miles, It was fully prepared to sup port Folk in preference to such a can didate if he should be nominated The Journal, however, did not expect the Republicans to make an unfit nomina- tion, and it was not disappointed.
 As to the Republican candidate for Governor we know nothing. He may be a good man, and if elected might make a good Governor but that Is not the main point. The Journal knows that the boodlers have brought dis grace on Missouri and on the Democ- racy of the State. It knows that MT. Folk is the enemy of that class. and that his nomination was a triumph for the honest elements ut the party. 1t knows that the opposition on the part of Democrats to Folk is because of his position and earnest efforts to punish the criminals. Knowing all this, The Journal cannot fail to see that the only hope of electing the Republican candt,,
