| They go thru the cotton and tobacco
plantations Of the south, Enger under. the
orange groves Of Florida, and spend some
time among the vast corn and bread lands
| Of the north.'' The volumes are profuse-
ly illustrated and contain a generous sup
| ply of maps.

Mr.. Skinner says the Abyssinians are
the Japanese Of Africa. AS the Japanese
have already been called the Yankees Of
Asia, it follows that the Abyssinians are
the Americans of Africa. Our southern
friends need not take offense, however, for
this does not make the Abyssinians Afro
mericans.

When John Muir Of Los Angeles died the
other day there was found in his desk the
following poem:

want to forget,
And I don't want to think
What I want to forget.
Just to let down my nerves,
Just to smooth out my brain,
Just to sleep. And that's all.
Please leave me alone
With your pillows and things;
Tisn't that that I want,
Nor q doctor, nor folks.

METHOD TO FIND BREAKS
Chicago Surgeon Proposes Use Of Tun-
ing Fork in Locating Bone
Fractures.

A very simple method OF lOcatlns
fractures In bones. particularly Ia long
ones. by the aid OF tuning fork. is pro-
posed b. a Chicago surgeon.
a stethOscope is placed over the bone
as near as possible 70 the point Of sus-
pected fracture and on the side where
the skin is thinnest. Then vibrating
tuning fork is placed against the nesh
near the bone. but on the other side OF
the fracture. II possible II the bone f.
continuous. distinct. clear sound viii
be heard IN the stethoscops. but II the
break IS between the two. this sound
will be faint and irregular as the vibra-
tons Will not be transmitted past the
break
OF course. SAYS Golfers Weekly. thi.
depends upon the fact that hard bone Is
an excellent conductor OF vibration,
while tissue is not. Perhaps even a
more valuable application OF this idea
would be In finding out when a break has
knitted properly. for when the joining
Il again perfect the sound will be as
clear as that OF an unbroken bone.

all the fine m-aneuvering of Daniel Manning
have amounted to in 1854, or the fat satchel
of Mr.. Whitney been able to accomplish In
1892, without the aid of the solid south?
And how was the south made solid in those
two campaigns? Ask the men who turned
the trick and who, through influences of
personal comfort and the operations Of an
eccentric conscience. have since called upon
state conventions to do what tissue ballots
and s%hotguns formerly were charged with.
Mr.. Cleveland is committed by every con-
sideration governing q man who shares
swas to stand by those who have served
him.. The south has done UNNECESSARILY
more for him than he has done. or with
twenty more terms in the White House
could do, for her. She lifted him from
obscurity to fame. She invested him with
more power than any other democrat has
exercised In q generation. And his whole
return for 1t has been some federal offices.
She was In possession Of her local govern
ments before he came upon the scene. and
he did nothing-nothing was necessary-to
tighten her hold on them. Why should ne
not add to those small favors these present
evidences of sympathy with her prejudices.
and especially as the st. Louis nomination
is not yet made, and this Parker wave may
reach its crest and break before July?
Mr.. Cleyeland's position Is more logical
than that Of the esteemed Republican. He
is standing by men who have stood by him.,
and is %applaudfng, sentiment which Is the
very foundation of his reputation and IN

MIR. Cleveland and the Race Question.

The Springfield. Mass. Republican, which
has three times supported Mr.. Cleveland for
President and would be happy to support
correction to its hero:
Mr.. Cleveland's northern friends must
regret the disposition he has recently mani
tested to give aid and comfort to that de-
gree of southern negrophobia which would
not only exclude the negro from all white
social recognition on its own part. but would
impose its crushing rule upon other people.
s+ II Is of course well that Mr..
Cleveland should deny what Is not true, but
l. Is another thing to shape the denials In a
way to convey the impression that he never
gave a negro any social consideration, and
that he sympathizes Wit those who con-
denim President Roosevelt for SO doing. Mr..
Cleveland certainly appointed negroes to
public office. and. unless memory is much
at fault, ne did invite certain negroes to the

Judge Parker's Platform.

WHOM Mr. Rryan asks for a statement OF
Judge Parker's views on public questions
he would appear to be entitled to an an
swer- He gives his own views without
hesitation, and they are clear and explicit.
He makes no coneealmentS about what he
thinks the democratic party should stand
for In the coming campaign, and goes even
further and indicates what 1t should not
stand for. Success at the polls Is not nus
one object. He does not desire success I'M
less 1t shall mean the advancement OF pol
icies in which he believes. The mere mat
ter of dividing up what is called pie among
the faithful does not appeal to him. AT
least he says it does not. and as he offers
something which he considers superior to
that his statement is entitled to respect.
But there are other democrats whose Gu
riosity on this score is not so well justified.
Why should they be firing interrogatories
at the New York jurist? What do hey
stand for? If their attitude toward the
campaign is to be appraised from their re-
marks in general. their sole concern is VIM
ming. 3. They are outspoken against Mr..
Rryan. whom they at one time all but wor-
| SHIPPED. but 1t is a safe statement that II
some sudden change in the situation should
encourage a third nomination for the Ne
braskan they would support him again.
with all that he implies. They are opposed
to him now because of the conviction that
they cannot win with him. To win Is their
sole concern
Judge Parker would have these gentlemen
on the hip therefore If he were to say to
| them, II. too. want to win. That is my
platform. / bring TO you all it is necessary
that I should-a good personal character, a
clean record. politically and judicially, and
the assurances of well informed politicians
i that If nominated for President can carry
| this state. 1t is for the party to write the
platform, and I await Its action. I can
stand on any platform that democrats in
| national convention. Instructed by past re-
| verses and familiar with our present needs,
decide upon. The general suggestion is
that it should be short. and I too am Of
that opinion. Make it short, and call it
democratic. and I'm your huckieberry."
That is Judge Parker's position, as 1t Is
the position of nearly all the members of
his party outside of the Bryan-Hearst con-
| tingent.
