Manager Seburn, of the Elwood
polo team, predicts that the most i'm
portant action that will be taken by
the directors of the Western league at
their meeting next Friday will be the
placing of a salary limit, and the
adoption Of a percentage basis of di-
viding the receipts of games It is
said that the teams that opposed the
percentage plan when it was voted
down recently now favor it, and will
vote for the change. Tt is not likely
that the directors will endeavor to
prevent a manager paying so much
money for any one man, but that it
will limit the combined salaries of the
six men which are hereafter to be
carried to about 1926. As all the
players are held under a reserve
clause, the probabilities are that none
will be signed for another season I'M

ratified by the Central league.

WASHINGTON CITY.

Bourke Cochran was here the
other day and he vigorously ex.
pressed the opinion that the voters
and tax payers of the United States
do care for frugality and do object
to extravagant expenditures. He
called attention to the fact that not
a syllable in the Republican plat
form pledges the party to economy
and that the Democratic platform
demands ''the strictest economy
and frugality compatible with Wig
orous civil, military, and naval
administration" During these
years in which the population of
the United States has increased so
per cent, the expenses of the Fed

eral government have increased
nearly two hundred per cent. The
population has doubled since
Grants first administration, and
the cost Of the government has
grown four fold. Republican pa
pers are everywhere publishing a
statement that the expenditure of
the United States government is
only half as much as that of France
and third as much as that of
Great Britain; but they leave out
of account the fact that most of
our expenditures are State, county
and municipal, while those of for
eign governments are mostly in
cluded in the general budget of the
central parliament. Including
these, the expenses of the United
States are much larger per head
than those of France, Germany or
England.

cratic Committee, and Mr.. Cortel-

ed be Silent Rather Than Yield
His Conception of Duty.
FOR months before his nomina-
IN for President, Judge Parker
IS accused of cowardice because
refused to stain the traditions
ais great judicial Office by pub
LILY discussing political questions.
He bore the strain of open criti-
cism and private pressure in 81
Dence. Political leaders and pow
erful newspapers, once urging his
nomination, grew faint in their
support and showered him with
messages of warning.
Not only his opponents demand
ed statement of his views. His
warmest supporters urged him to
make his political opinions known.
In behalf of the editor of the New
York World, the writer of this
article wrote to Judge Parker.
This is part of his reply which |
venture now to publish for the
first time:
Albany, June II, l904.-You may be
right in thinking that an expression
Of my views is necessary to secure the
nomination. If so, let the nomination
go. ] took the position that j have
maintained-fi because deemed it
my duty to the court; second, because
do not think the nomination for such
an Office should be sought, | still be-
lieve that / am right, and therefore
expect to remain steadfast.
Very truly yours,
ALTON B. PARKER.
There, in his own hand, is Judge
Parker's explanation of his silence.
1t illustrates his character. He
endured misrepresentation and ca
ricature patiently. When the
proper time came he spoke, and
the whole Nation heard and under
stood.
Judge Parker's message declin-
ing to accept the Democratic nom
ination for President, except on
the understanding that he would
maintain the gold standard of
money values, was no more re.
markable and significant than his
refusal to play politics from the
bench. In these days of strenuous
heroes, the American people vel
come the tranquil courage of such
man. The Democratic party
can we'll invite comparison of the
personalities of Alton B. Parker
and Theodore Roosevelt. JAS.

During the absence of Congress
measures for the improvement Of
the city are being energetlcally
pushed, that good showing OF
progress may be made when the
lawmakers again assemble. Work
is going actively forward on the
several great public buildings that
have been described in these let
ters, including the $4,000,0 900 Un.
ion depot, and while the great
plans Of the Park Commission
cannot be Immediately realized,
the water front of the city is being
improved, and this is a necessary
feature of any rehabilitation of
the capital. The water front both
on the Potomac and East branch is
in disgraceful condition. 1t is
doubtful if there is city of its
size in the United States which
presents so shabby riparian line.
The wharves are mainly built on
loose piling; the buildings are
mostly ramshackle sheds; and the
slips are so badly filled with debris

you, who fills the same place for
the Republicans, to determine who
will make the best campaign or
ganizer and lead his party to vic
tory. The Democratic committee
members who met in New York
on Tuesday unanimously voted for
Mr.. Taggart since Senator German
positively refused to act as chair
man. All agree that the party has
fair chance for success, which
grows brighter each day. Mr..
Taggart is young, vigorous, a
great worker, man of large ex-
periences, and he has faith that
the Democratic party will win.
Mr.. Cortelyou is putting in his
best endeavors, and is exceedingly
industrious. His ambition is to
carry New York, while Mr.. Tag
gart is expected to control Indiana.
Last Thursday Mr.. Cortelyou was
too worn out or ill to come down
to headquarters in this city, and
had to take day for rest. There
are those who fear he may over
work and suffer from nervous
prostration. Yesterday he was

passed through the flooded dis
trict and noted the destruction of
once beautiful homes and farms.
In some places the soil is washed
away and in others the sand is
four feet deep. At Ft. Scott,
Kan, we saw the soldiers In uni
form in and about the depot and
town and coming in from the
country. 1t made one think of
war times. All along the road it
seemed to be very dry and did not
look very much like a farming
country. There was no sign of
rain or snow until we reached
Denver, and then could see snow
only on the mountain peaks. We
arrived at Denver at 8 O'Clock
Sunday morning; we stayed only
long enough for our car to be
changed to different track, and
from there to Cheyenne, Wyom-
ing. Shortly after leaving Den
yer we viewed the highest peak in
Colorado, Longs Peak, whose
summit is 14,645 feet high. We
reached Cheyenne at II o'clock.
There we changed cars again; then
up the mountain we go. We
travelled upwards for several hours
until we reached the highest point,
then downward again; went down
Wolf river a long ways, until it
emptied into Snake river; the last
named river we crossed twenty
times before it emptied into the
Columbia river. We never saw
any water for any purpose, ex-
cepting the river, until Monday
night. We still speed down the
river, around the mountain across,
canyons until 6 o'clock Tuesday
morning when we reached The
Dalles. We could hardly tell
whether we were alive or not, we
were so tired, but when the con-
ductor told us the next station was
The Dalles, we prepared to vacate
and leave our room for some one
else, and welcome. We thought
we were coming to the land of
sunshine and flowers, and bless
your life, when we alighted from
the train, Ernest went into the
snow up to his chin. As soon as

you, | found not only a friend, but
a Brother and Sister who, when /

As soon as | had rested sufficient
ly, he went with me over to town
and introduced me to several of
the most prominent business men
and brothers in the church. One
of the brothers volunteered to 90
with me in search of house, and
accordingly we started and search

we could find, which was a small

secured at $6 per month. Our

| as 10 De unaVallaDl6 TOT use except
by smaller craft. A new bulkheac
wall is needed at once, and stone
piers are imperatively required.
The two new bridges across the
Potomac, one for railroad trains
and the other for the highway, are
in an advance stage and in two
months trains and traffic will be
running over them from shore to
shore. They are five hundred feet
north of the old railroad bridge,
about twice as high above the wa
ter, and half a mile long. The
railroad bridge is known as of the
Pratt truss pattern, and it has
twelve granite piers, including the
draw span, which latter is $50 feet
long, and weighs 800 tons. 1t will
be about twice the size of the old
draw. The draw will seldom need
to be opened.
The sky over the Republican
camp is lowering, owing to the
numerous and bitter strikes in
progress from Boston to Colorado.
The union leaders and walking
delegates very naturally salute the
President with "Come to our res
cue! You went outside of your
beat to settle the coal strike; now
take the employers sternfy in hand
in Boston, Fall River, New York,
Washington, Chicago, Colorado!"
What he will do to extricate his
party from the dilemma it is diff
cult TO see. Even in Washington
the old question of the trades un-
ions against the government has
arisen. A man passed the civil
service examination as bricklayer
and joined the workmen putting
up the walls at the new Washing
ton War College. The other men
asked him for his card, and finding
be was not a member of the union,
laid down their tools. The army
officer in charge made little
speech to the malcontents telling
them that either their rules must
be modified or the Constitution of
the United States be amended.
How the problem will be solved is
doubtful.
The 100000 citizens of Wash
ington used last week 66, 100000
gallons day of water, or 200 gal
Ions day for each man, woman
and child in the District. This
supply per capita is one of the
largest in the United States, and
of course indicates tremendous i'm
providence and waste. Relief is
now sought by increasing the res
ervoir and aqueducts, but it can
not be long before it viii be sought
in water meters, compelling the
largest users to pay for all water
that they receive beyond reason
able supply. If the largest con-
sumers we're furnished with me-
ters, enough water would be saved
to supply fountains in every park
and circle, like the fountains of
Rome.
Judge Parker has written a
graceful letter of acknowledgment
and thanks to the Lawyers Demo
cratic Club, of this city, which has
been organized to do what it can
to help the party win. Many
bright young lawyers have joined
the club and they stand ready to
take the stump in the nearby
States. Since they have no vote
in the District of Columbia, they
to manifest their interest
in politics by inducing other peo-
pie to vote.

about 81, 700 persons are doomed to

registration is distributed among the
various towns as follows:
Bonesteel, 35,064 Fairfax, $500;
Yankton, 57,434; Chamberlain, 6, 1876.
There are about $500 quarter Sec

Registration was light Friday and

the State

On July l, 1904, Geo. A. Silsby,
mayor of Mitchell, deposited in the
Minnehaha National Bank at Sioux
Falls, perpetual lease of the new pro-
posed capitol building and grounds.

The building cost the city of Mitchell
so5, 900. and is absolutely fire proof.
On July 10Th, A. E. Hitchcock, rep
resenting forty-three business men of
Mitchell, deposited in the Sioux Falls
National Bank a deed of six blocks
in the city of Mitchell, comprising
about 20 acres of land. This deed is
executed in favor of the state of South
Dakota and will be turned over by
the bank to the governor should
Mitchell receive a majority vote in
the election November Sth. This land
is in the city limits and close to the
business part of the city.
Mitchell absolutely guarantees to
pay all cost of removal of records
and other state property. There will
be no cost to the tax payers.
