THURSDAY EVENING. OCT. 81, 1904.

IT WAS expected that the republicans
would RELY on brag aud buster before
the election, and on money on the day
of election to purchase enough voters to
turn the scale in their favor on that day.
According to Washington paper, if its
correspondents are reliable, the Parker
vote will be 50 unimportant as to be
placed in the same class with that OF
Debs. Swallow or Watson. Some days
ago delegation of Italians visited Judge
Parker and reminded him that Mr..
Roosevelt would not receive the whole
Italian vote. Monday night Judge
Parker visited a Jewish theatre and so
demonstrative was the audience that it
was impossible to proceed with the per-
Torrance for forty minutes or more, and
the same or similar oyatiOns met the
democratic candidate outside the theatre
in strong Jewish settlement Yet, the
correspondent cf the paper referred to
makes the following statement over his
initials. referring to New York city:
The Jews are with Roosevelt. The
Italians are solidly for him. The Cath.
Ole vote is setting toward him in tidal
wave, and there seems little doubt that
be will make immense gains in Greater
New York.
This may be all true. as the cores
pondents may have opportunities Tor
getting news not obtainable by any one
else; yet the general news is not to the
effect that the Jews, the Italians, or the
Catholic vote is purchasable, or setting
towards Roosevelt. Such statements are
on a par with those that MIR. Bryan has
made no votes for Parkerand Davis that
every son of every democratic fathers,
If first voter, is for Roosevelt that not
half of the democratic gold vote Is for
Parker that all those heretofore claimed
as republicans are united, and no de-
lection is anywhere manifested so far as
the strenuous President is concerned.
Very bright prospect indeed All this
talk about what the Italian, Jew and
Irish Catholic voter will do can be well
discounted, as they all possess the
same intelligence that is found in the
English, French, German and Ameri-
can voter. Brag, buster and Doodle
may be successful and it may not. Wait

out OF him.

THE EXPLANATION OF Admiral Rojest-
vensky of his singular action in attack
ing English fishing boats has caused a
ripple of merriment in diplomatic cir
cles and increased evaporation in Great
Britain. 1t appears that he saw what
he mistook for japanese torpedo boats
and opened fire on the inoffeusive fisher
men in self-defense. Some English pa
pers desire satisfaction instead of apollo
gies and the payment of damages, and
suggest that if Russia has placed a feet
of war vessels in charge of so reckless a
man it is high time some radical measures
were adopted by other nations for self
protection. 1t is believed, however, that
the matter will eventually be settled by
cool-headed diplomates, and that Eng
land will not be compelled to go to war.
The suggestions made in Japan to the
effect that the officers OF the Russian
feet were not anxious 70 proceed to the
far East and desired to precipitate their
country into trouble with another nation
are not seriously considered in diplomat
ic circles.

Cause of LockiaW.

Lockjaw, or tetanus, is caused by a
bacillus or germ which exists plentiiuliy
in street dirt. 1t is inactive so long as
exposed to the air, but when carried be-
meath the skin, as in the wounds caused
by percussion caps or by rusty nails, and
when the air is excluded the germ is
reused to activity and produces the most
virulent poison known. These germs
may be destroyed and all danger of lock-
Jaw avoided by applying Chamberlain's
Pain Balm freely as soon as the injury is
received. Pain Balm is an antiseptic
and causes such injuries to heal without
maturation and in one-third the time re-
quired by the usual treatment. 1t is

A DISPATCH from New York says

A DISPATCH from New I 0rk says
If the result of the election can be
determined by corporation influence,
Mr.. Roosevelt will be elected. Less
than year ago many of the most pow
erful corporation captains were extremely
hostile to Mr.. Roosevelt Today they
are supporting him with great earnestness
and unanimity. Every one of the great
corporations generally designated as
trusts has contributed with wonderful
liberality to the republican campaign
fund, and the biggest men at the head OF
these trusts are themselves passing
around the hat 10 get money from the
lesser ones and are working with almost
the activity of campaign managers. 1t
was argued before his nomination be-
came assured that it would not be safe
for the republican psrty to nominate
Mr.. Roosevelt because j. Pierpont Nor
gan and others capable of raising cam
paign funds would not support him.
After the nomination was made the first
problem presented to the republicans
was that of pacating these corporation
captains. Elihu Root, having retired
from the Cabinet, undertook this task,
and it was by his advice that Mr.. Cor
teiyo was taken from the Secretaryship
of Commerce and made chairman of the
national committee.
The trusts have found Mr. Roosevelt
entirely pliable, as clay in the hands of
the potter, and for this reason, and for
this alone, are they now making large
contributions to his election fund. They
have already taken all the "trust busting
out of him
