Party and Party Support.

Charles w. Goodyear, millionaire lumberman, desires to be the demo- cratic candidate for governor of New York, and he thus explains his vote in 1896:
 whether I am ever a candidate for governor or not, want the fact known that I did vote for Mir Mckinley and I'm proud of 1t. I have never neither during the campaign nor since then sought to conceal the fact that l voted against MT. Bryan, and if had it all to do over again should vote against him.
 Herein he differs from Judge Par ker, who thus wrote in 1897: To the Hon. Elliot Danforth, Chairman State Democratic Committee:
 My Dear Mir Danforth: It was entirely right of you to sring to my attention the question which the sincere friends Of Mr Bryan are pressing upon you. l can say to you frankly and sincerely that you can assure them that I voted for the last na- tional nominees of the democratic party, as have voted for all of the regular lmeocratic nominees since l had vote.
 Yours very truly,
 ALTON B. PARKER September %, 1897.
 Now, which was right, Goodyear who bolted, or Parker who was loyal to the party even when he could not control it's action? If every man Is to bolt his party whenever an unwel- come plank is inserted in it's platform, then party ties become mere ropes of sand, and party organization becomes impossible.
 f It is safe to say that MT. Goodyear will not be selected to head the state ticket in New York. No man need expect to have every plank in any platform constructed to suit his no- tions to precision. All politics, like all government, in a country governed by parties, is a compromise, and Judge Parker's course is a much wiser and better course than the course adopted by the autocratic and dictatorial Good year.

The worm has turned at last Comic papers have made much capital of the unfortunate young man who went to ask the father of his lady love for her hand and received the fond parents foot, but the other day two young men reversed matters by thrashing a girls father who ordered them out of the house. While their conduct was ungentlemanly and hard on the father, still they have set A healthy precedent that should be fol- lowed No matter how irate father may. be. he is certainly not justified in using personal violence upon a young man who wants to marry his daughter In the first place such an offer is something of a compliment, it matters not how worth less the young man may be, and in the second place no man desires to be kicked for wanting to get married, although he may be tempted to kick himself after the matter is consummated. If fathers of marriageable young ladies could be taught that they may expect to get a share of chastisement themselves instead of giv- ing all of 1t to the young man. those painful episodes in private offices and libraries would terminate and joke-smiths would have to look elsewhere for ma terial.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
 MATTERS OF THE WORLD

marks anent the model, saloon recently blessed by Bishop Potter in New York. While It is possible that Bishop Potter never heard of the energetic Georgia d. vine, and If he has, never lost any sleep over his interesting personality, still 1t Is the privilege of the American citizen to say what he thinks, and the Rev. Dr. Broughton never loses an opportunity. His remarks concerning the Subway tavern are in a characteristic vein. He seems to think that the dedication was a dedication of hell and that the church has been welded to a groggery. Of course Dr. Broughton is entitled to his own opin- ions regarding the model saloon, but 1t VIII probably be some time yet before Atlanta gets subway tavern, so he need not perturb himself too much over the action of Bishop Potter.
 A late dispatch states that the British expedition is within sight of the Dalai Lama's palace on the sacred mountain of Potala in Thibet, and that the Lama has shut himself up in a monastery where he announces he will stay three years. The British expedition Into Thibet Is an interesting operation to the world which looks on in silence, but there is nothing spectacular and nothing valiant about 1t. The march to LfHassa is the oft-repeated story of well trained, well equipped sol- diers of a great empire walking rough- shod over the feeble clans of a people who belong to past age and have been lost in the mist O. time. There is so little to be accomplished by the expedition and the purposes of Great Britain are so pal- this distance to look upon General Young husband as hero.
 Just now when the country is flooded with pictures of the various candidates and politicians whose voices have weight In party councils 1t is rather interesting to know that these gentlemen do not always look exactly like they are pie tured.

Davis face be- fore 1t goes Into print, and all the pic-- lures of Theodore Roosevelt are touched up" in order to make the executive ap. pear as handsome as his peculiar cast of features will allow. Speaker Cannon Is usually pictured as a vigorous old man, when as a matter of fact Uncle Joe is now quite feeble, and there is no mistaking the tremor which shakes his hand when he is reading paper on the platform. But when the great masses of humanity demand that their photographs make them better looking than they really are no one could criticize men of national prominence for being 'furbished up" by the retoueher especially when one con- siders how often their faces are repro. duced.

Though seas around thee roll
And tempesfs roari
Though but drop thou art
In iifc's immortal sea.
Yet In His watchful heart.
Fie loveth thee.
He who, at midnight grim.
Bids thundcrB peal His praise.
Hears also each low hymn
The countless insects raise.
Then fear not. oh. my tongue.
Though small and weak thy note.
Though praise to Him be sung
From worlds remotei
Although thy voice seem lost
Upon the thoughtless air.
He who heeds heavens great host

He whose life-giving breath.
Thrills seasons as they roll.
Keeps also thee from death.
