1t has become a cosaical thing IN
New York comical to the Republicans,
but tragic to the Democrats the be-
havior Of Judge Parker when he comes
to town He goes to his hotel. He
shuts himself up. Nobody can see him
but the persons with whom he has APP
pointments, and they tell nothing that
he says He has not spoken to the
public on one Of these visits nor by
any chance to any one who will speak
to the public. He has now been in
New York nearly dozen tines since
he was nominated AT first he has
spent only a night, but now he stays
days at time. and he has practically
taken personal charge Of the cam-
paign. He has secret audiences with
men all day every day he has been
here, and yet no reporter of single
paper has caught word that he has
said except two or three remarks about

know what he does or what he says
In his political conferences. AT the re-
cent reception given to him at the
Manhattan club lie would not speak.
Such Il silent candidate for the presi-
Gency not only was never heard Of be-
fore, but no man would have been be-
lieved who should have said that any
candidate for the presidency could be
so silent. Every conceivable effort has
been made to induce him to make at
least one public address during the
campaign But it is given out that he
is immovable in his silent resolution.
But MIR. Parker has a studied silence
that is driving his supporters almost to
madness, for they are beginning to ask:
Is it studied? Can he talk? Did he
ever talk? Has he anything to say
Did he ever say anything that the peo-
pie could understand or care to hear,
his one famous telegram always ex-
cepted? The fear is creeping over
them chat perhaps he has nothing to
say except such argumentative doctri-
nal things as go to make official speeches
and letters Of acceptance.
There is something almost stupid in
such conduct, This is the talk you
may now hear in disappointed Demo
cratic circles. What's a candidate for
but to make as favorable an impression
as possible on the public? Especially
what is the bounden duty Of silent
and unknown candidate but to say
something, so that the people may
come to know him?

AS matter of fact. President Cleve-
LAND In his messages actually opposed
rural free delivery. Nevertheless con
gress made small appropriation Of
$4,000 to test the feasibility Of es-
tablishing a system Of free mail de-
livery in rural districts. But Cieve-
lands postmaster general, MIR. Bissell
refused to apply it or make the at
tempt The appropriation was re-
newed, and Mr. Bissell's successor
Postmaster General William L. VIII
son, also refused to use 1t.
1t was not until President McKin-
ley's administration that any practical
sttempt was made to organize rural
free delivery. and then the movement
was taken up so thoroughly, efficiently
and faithfully that while he was presl-
dent about 5000 rural delivery routes
were established and the system was
created and made as permanent part
of the postal service as free city de-
livery. There are now more than 20
900 routes in operation, and the whole
work from the beginning has been
done under Republican administration.

One Of the Car Barn Bandits Would
be His Own Executioner
Chicago, Apr. 18.-Peter Nieder-
meier, one of the car barn bandits,
cell early today, and not until he
was unconscious from loss of blood
was he discovered, taken to the Jail
hospital and revived. His condition
Is still serious. He had eaten matches
and opened an artery in his arm with
a lead pencil.
Neidermeier made a second at
tempt to commit suicide after the
wound had been dressed by the ply
stefan. He was lying apparently un-
conscious under the care of a guard.
His right arm and hand were hidden
by the bed clothing. and with hardly
~perceptible motion he slipped the
bandages off the left arm and tore
the vein open again. Unconsciously
he uttered a grOan and made a con-
vulsive movement which attracted
the attention of the physicians and
nurse. The wound was rebandaged,
while Neidermeier pleaded to be al
lowed to die. He had lost a large
quantity of blood and was almost
puIseless for a time. The greatest
danger, however, is from the phOs-
phorus which he swallowed on the
matches. 1t is feared that he will no
survive, but if he lives until Friday
