EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks of It, but Relies on the
Strength of Tammany.
Judge Parker says this:

Judge Parker says this;
whenever a great question of public
Importance has arisen, it has been pre-
sented and championed through the press
and on the rostrum by the educated
thinkers of the country, who, for the
time being, are the real leaders, and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be oyerthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
is true and right aud sensible. But
what. after the expression of such an
opinion. is Judge Parker's cOurseE 1t Is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af-
fairs of the country. But what is Judge
Parker doing? Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State of New York; one Of the States,
the influence of whose electoral votes is
great in the results Of the Presidential
campairn. He relies upon an un-Amer-
lean combination known as Tammany
Hall. 1t is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
state without the aid of this most cor
rupt organization, in the greatest city
Of the country-an organization that mas
simply become IN eLoFutYuS tester upVH
the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all exigencies, by the
Democratic party, which. to the credit Of
that party. is little above Tammany.
How ridiculous, under the circum-
stances. is the attitude of the more or
lcss qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
ms, Think of man who even talks
of fhe influence of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success, in the
state Of New York. upon a conglomera-
tion of the most uneducated and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making of political pool in a great
city. 1t is hard to say it, but Mr.. Park
or cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. He cannot afford
TO talk about educated people or about
educated influence back of him, or about
all that is good and broad and culti-
vated back of him because, without
Tammany back Of him il his own State,
he has not the shadow Of hope, and
Tammany is the worst force there is
politically-a discredit to the country.
This is the nub Of the thing. This is

Parker Is the Hope of Trusts.
New York TribuneJ

James J. Hilrs selection of Judge
Parker as his candidate is significant.
He is angry with President Roosevelt
simply and solely for interfering with
his lawless schemes to monOpolize the
railway traffic Of the Northwest. He
turns to Democracy and Judge Parker
because he sees in them license to work
his sovereign and imperious will in the
domain Of business without restraint on
the part of the government. And Mr..
J. J. Hill is an able, experienced, hard
headed man, who knows what he is
about. He is not in the habit of buying
gold bricks.

not tired-I could walk miles and miles with you.
But l hate that old Browning! There! I'm glad
I've said it" But despite these words. there was a
little CLEAN of pleading in the defiant eyes she cast
at her husband. and she wished that he had not
loosened her hand so quickly.
He never spoke hastily; so she had learned to bear
with some degree of patience the long pauses that
often punctuated her impulsive remarks. He took
off his glasses. as if a narrower vision of outer things
would help him to think out this serious problem of a
man who found his souls religion in the verses of
Browning married to a woman who hated that poet;
and the complication in the problem was that the
man loved the woman deeply.
Ethel. l don't understand. Before we were
married you seemed to enjoy my reading Browning
to you. Sometimes. whole evenings

He closed the book reverently. as if to shut the
ears of the spirt-poet to these sacrilegious words.
The act kindled a vivid flash in her eyes. and froze
the hot sob in her throat into a hard lump. Her
next words tumbled one upon another

we look at clouds through the telescope of sensitive
imagination. Perhaps it is better thus. for the laugh
often scatters the gloom only for 4 brief space. What
he did was to put the unfortunate book into his
pocket. and to readJust his eyeglasses carefully.
Both acts whipped her into further words.

face. that YOU had told me this at first"

But the answer was not quick enough to satisfy her

But her other hand came to his mouth, silencing
further reading. and he was forced to turn his eyes
from Browning to his wife. He thought it only one
of her little Jokes which familiarity had made as dear
to him as the childlke humor smiling in some of
Browning's verses.

Another time her ilattering naIvet6 would have
brought a smile; but now the central matter at issue
was too grave.
Go on he demanded. He did not know that
his voice was stern. She resented his placing her in
the position of a culprit.
She couldn't help not liking Browning any more
than he could help thinking that flowers were pretty
with stumpy stems. All people have their limitations.
