You would think to read the DEM
ocratic papers that Judge Parker is
the first presidential candidate to de-
clare he would not be a candidate for
second term. AS matter of fact,
the fashion was set by a Republican,
Rutherford b. Hayes, who lived up to
his promise. Since then two DEM
ocratic candidates, Cleveland and
Bryan, have made the same promise.
Cleveland not only accepted a second
nomination, but also q third one and
would gladly have taken a fourth If he
could have gotten it. Bryan did not
get his first term, but he was a second
time candidate and is still very much
in the field for a third nomination.
Judge Parker did nothing original nor
was his advance remuneration of a
second term an act of extraordinary
merit.

He says the Republican party in that

1t is poor taste, to say the least, for
Admiral Schley to break loose with a
magazine article on the battle of
Santiago. After the investigation,
which ended with Admiral Schley
publicly discredited and officially re-
buked, naval officers were ordered to
let the matter drop. The order has
been well obeyed by Admiral Schley
along with the rest, until now, with
everybody forgetting the controversy
and with Admiral Sampson dead, an
attempt is made to open up the old
wounds. 1t is not unlikely that there
is political motive in this article, the
author hoping that he will be repre-
manded for this fresh breach of
discipline and thus allowed to pose in
hisesavorite role of martyr. We do not
believe the attempt will succeed or that
freside9t Roosevelt will crafty him
oy taking any notice Of his latest dis
obedience of orders.

MAINE EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Those Democratic FIGURES.
Waterville Mail)

(WaterVllle Mail)
Many comments are heard upon the ex-
tremely effective manner in which General
Haines punctured the balloon of figures
that the Democratic gubernatorial candi-
date had evidently spent weeks In prepar-
ing and which his newspaper has been ex-
plotting at such length. The matter is a
reminder of a remark once made by a
famous Marie humorist to the effect that
1t Is better sometimes to know less than
to know so many things that amt So"
1t has been indeed grievous spectre of
extravaganza in State expenditures that
the Democratic candidate has constructed
In his minds eye. but a little hit of Just
ordinary common sense talk like that
given by General Haines at the caucus
the other night shows that 1t is spectre
and nothing else. 1t must be rather I'M
satisfactory too, for the Democratic cam
paigners to find even before the Repub-
licans had had a chance to defend the
record of the administration. that is to
say before the Republican campaign had
been begun, nobody was found ready to
take any stock in the Democratic figures.
The voters of Maine are 4 pretty hard
headed lot of men who are inclined to
see things with their own eyes and to
draw their own conclusion as a result of
what they see. These voters knew, and
know. that all this Democratic claptrap
is designed. not cleverly at all, to catch

John Mitchelrs Message from Abroad

John Mitchell, whom everybody con-
cedes to be one of the ablest and
coOlest-headed leaders that organized
labor has ever been fortunate enough
to have at the head of it's affairs, is on
visit to the Old World. and he is
both learning something by his trip
and is honest enough to admit it. In
Great Britain he made thorough and
careful investigation of the conditions
of the miners and other laborng people,
and now is following the same course
tries. And in interviews and in letters
home he frankly admits that he never
realized before the vastly superior adj
vantages which the American working
class enjoy. until he had visited
Europe and seen with his own eyes the
deplorable conditions prevailing among
the labOrers there. He had never ap-
preciated how much more fortunate
than his fellow laborers abroad is the
From every point of view," he says
the American working man lives in
better condition, with better pay. bet
ter surroundings. better treatment and
far better opportunities of advance
ment." The picture he gives in draw
ing the conditions prevailing among
miners and mill workers of England,
in particular, is one worthy of the
careful consideration Of all American
laboring people; and in all his obser-
vations there is food for thought in
what this honest and level-headed
| labor leader says.
His attitude is refreshingly different
from that of many labor leaders in this
| country, whose only activity is that Of
the agtator who seeks to stir the
| laboring men to discomfort. Such false
| leaders are usually looking out for
their own interests rather than the
welfare of the laborer. They profit
from strikes and labor troubles, while
their dupes and helpless families are
the ones who suffer. The American
laboring man is the best off Of any
laboring man in the world and John
Mitchelrs message to him from abroad
should have a wholesome effect.
