PARKER AND B.. FAN.
Will Meet for the First Time Thurs
 day Night.


 day Night.
 New York Special to New Orleans Times Democrat.
 Chief Judge Alton B. Parker is for the 1rst time to meet William J. Bryan at the dinner of the Holland Society at the Wal dorf-Astoria on January 21. The interest ing thing about the meeting is that, ac- cording to MT. Bryan's friends, the ar ranGement for the meeting was made at the request of Judge Parker himself. While 1t may pot be safe to attach much political significance to the meeting of the two men atsa social dinner, still 1t Is regarded as significant that there should be any apparent eagerness on the part of Judge Parker's friends to have the Judge meet MT. Bryan at this time.
 One of Judge Parker's admirers. in com menting on the prospective meeting of the Nebraskan and the Judge, said tonight:
 N Is becoming more and more appar- ent that under the antiquated and sense less two.thirds rule observed by the Dem. ocrats in the choosing of the presidential candidates Mir. Bryan and his immediate friends will be able to dominate the next convention. They may not havesa ma. 3ority on the first ballot, but they are sure of having a good third. Because of this Mir. Pafker's friends wish to convince MT Bryan's friends at the earliest possible minute that they are not going to the campaign with any. spirit of 5antagonism against the western radical Democrats T

HANNA's CROWD.
Will Seek to Keep Foraker Off the |. Delegation.

Columbus Special.
 Senator HannA's bold intention to pre- vent the election of any Foraker Repub- hcanS to the. Chicago Convention seems certain to cause a renewal of the fac- uonal fight The anti-Hanna Republicans of former years joined hands in piling up the big Republican plurality last fall, but they are being driven out of line again by Hanna's policy. The editor of The Cleveland Leader. Senator Hana's per- sonal organ. sent editorial correspondence from here this week in which he dug up the old antf-Hanna fight of six years ago and subjected the leaders to contempt. Even ex-Governor Bushnell. who lay dy- ing here at the time, did not escape his wrath.r
 The fact that nearly every Republican Congress1nan in Ohio will have to fight for reorganization gives Senator Foraker an opportunity to break in on the Hanna machine. and he will no doubt be able to carry some of the districts and com pei compromises Iii others. Senator Han na proposes to place George B. Cox on the Big Four instead of Senator Foraker. This he will be able to do, no doubt, as he has the State Convention machinery in his hands, but the fact will spur Sem trfcts.. T

 The Fort Gaines Recogder refuses to be convinced that MT. Cleveland is to be con sidered out of the race. It says:
 The "among those mentioned list Is still growing. but the list of those pres ent" will contain but one name when the Democratic Convention meets.
 As is usually the case with the Party which Is out of power. there is more or less feeling around for the best man, and 1t is not surprising that mention is made of men who are not only impossible as Presidential timber but are in no respect qualified for the position. It often hap pens in conventions that votes are cast for various candidates merely as a com pliment to them, when the men who cast the votes would feel very much surprised and mortified if the man they voted for should be nominated. It Is the same way with Democrats now. Many names are tentatively mentioned who are not quali- fled. and who stand not the ghost of a show. These mentioninEs are merely feel CTS and most of them mean nothing. Opinion will settle down as the time ap- breaches. and when the convention meets there may be but two or three names thought of. One will be Grover Cleve- land, and he may be the only one at the l last.

A Heritage to Honor.

 A cause which gave to the world a Lee. Jackson and a Gordon is not last So long as courage. purity, devotion to principle, genius to command success and manhood to meet defeat. uneonduered shall serve to quicken the pulses and mark the way to higher living the names of these men will be kept in rsverent memory. To the soldiers of the Confed- eracy. and the women of the South the death of General Gordon brings a sorrow not lightly to be uttered nor soon forgot To their children the lesson of his life Is heritage to honor. The state that bore him. the section that love him. the country that honored him. Is the poorer for his going.

Several of our Republican contempora- ries. in their efforts to defend the PresI- dent in the Wood matter. try to make it appear that criticism of his action is in- terded as reflection on the medical pro- fession. Because Democrats crlticise the Presidents discreditable display of favor itism, they are accused in plain terms of doing so because Wood happened to be a doctor, "as one Republican organ puts it. That is absurd, to say the least of 1t. So far as we know. there has been no denial of Woods capacity as physician or sur geon, but some of us do most emphati- cally deny that the study and practice of medicine fits a man to command armies. A man might actually and rightfully stand at tho head of the medical profess sion in the United States without being qualified for the position of commanding general of our armies. No reflection on the medical profession Is meant by criti- csing Woods promotion.

The question, When Is a man Con- gressman? bids fair to become as perplex- ing as Ann's age, since Judge Vandeven- ter decided that a man is not a Congress- man until he has taken the oath of office. If that is held to be good and sound law
 then it will happen that member of either I-ouse may have nearly year in wtich to cut up high jinks, and to effec- tuslly feather his own nest without rem dering himself amenable to law. During the months after his election, and before he is sworn in, he can accept all the bribes that may be offered him. but Inc cannot be prosecuted because he is not a s'Member of Congress" although he is drawing his pay as a member. Such a decision may be good law. but it lacks reveFal laps of heinz good morals and the ease aG Dietrich may cause trouble yet.

FAILACIoUs REASONING.

The Richmond Times-D -Dfspatch takes the view that q public school system is un-
 democratic, because 1t requires one man to pay for educating the children Of an- other But 1t further argues that it is necessary evfi, because education is es- sential to good citizenship, and many peo-
 pie would not educate their boys if they
 had to pay all the expenses of such edu-
 cation.
 Taking up the latter argument first, we
 cordially agree with it's sentiments. Be-
 yond doubt there are and have been many
 good and true citizens who were wholly iIliterate, but it must be remembered that our Government, and especially the man. ner of holding and managing our eiec-
 tons, was much less complex than Is now
 the case. Fifty years ago; in Alabama,
 for example. it made little difference whether q voter coald read and write or
 not. If he was not eompgtsnt to prepare
 his ewn ballot some friend would write
 1t for him. and deceiving or swfndliug
 voter was not thought of.
 It Is very different now. Our suffrsgo
 system and requirements are so complex
 that a man who cannot read is placed at
 q serious disadvantage. The ballot has
 tost much of it's sacred character, and we
 have unfortunately arrived at the point
 wI.ere it is almost looked on as com mendable act to misiead voter and
 change his ballot. Thus it Is that the bal lot is no longer safe in nliterate hands, and thus 1t is that system of free public schools has become & necessity in order
 that the duties of voting may be exercised by men who know and understand what they do. And if every parent had to pay all school expenses, many youth would
 reach manhood without being able to read his ballot. So education has become a necessity, and the State must pay for it. We do not look on the3other argument as sound or tenabie; was mean the con- tention that public education Is not demo- cratic. We can have no such thing now as a pure democracy. We have a rep- resentative Government and the people, l who are the source of all power, must delegate that power to their Government. | If it is not democratic for one man to pay for educating the children of another, why is 1t not undemocratic for one man
 to pay more taxes than another? There l must be a certain amount of money pro
 vided each year to defray the expenses of
 the Government' seme mensdo not pay
 any taxes. yet tiIey get the benefits and protection Of the laws just as do those
 who pay a great deal Part of this money goes into the school fund. and if the rich
 may not pay most of it. why should they
 be required to pay most of all the other governmental charges? It seems to us
 that if the argument is valid in one case ] it is in all. Governments are supposed | to be maintained for the general good. | and education has the same object in ! view. Those who have must pay for those who have not and that is the end | of the argument.

Is it not the fact that the smart saleswomen Is usually rather particular about her dress is averse form wearing dingy col lars. frayed cuffs and faded ties? The truth of the matter seems to be that eX- tra care as regards personal habits and general appearance is as a rule indicative of a certain alertness of mind which shows itself antagonistic to slovenliness of all kinds,

Referring to modern fads and systems of education. The Mobile Register argues that 1t lis not solid and valuable educa- tion-the education that counts: and the trouble seems to be that the child's atten- tion is taken up 100 largely with non- essentials, many of which are nothing less nor more than fads, destructive of the ambition of the teacher.
