LITERARY PEDESTRIANS.
Writers of By-GOne Times
Who were Fond OF Taking
Long Walks.

Your note on the late Sir Leslie
Stephens enthusiasm for walking"
writes a correspondent of the West
minister Gazette, reminds me of
other great writer's who have been
equally ardent pedestrians. The great
est OF them all was undoubtedly
christopher North (Prof. John Will
SOM, a giant over six feet high, whose
tread seemed almost to shake the
Streets and who thought nothing Of
tramping 40 miles in eight hours or of
walking from Liverpool to Elleray, a
distance of so miles, in a day.
Wordsworth, though he could never
have kept pace with Wilson's swing
ing stride, was always good for a 20
mile stroll, and used to boast that he
had walked six times round the earth.
Charles Dickens was always at his
brightest and happiest when he was
striding gaily along country lanes at
a good five miles an hour. On one
memorable occasion he covered 20
miles fair he~el-and-toe' in a shade
over four hours, and very proud he wa
of his deed. Prof. Fawcett, blind
though he was, tramped his 80 miles
many a day over Cambridge roads;
and, in our W day, Mr.. Swinburn.
Mr.. Bryce, and MI. John Davidson, the
poet. might well be matched against
any other three pedestrians of equal
years in England"

REPUBLICANS HATE SOUTH,
Roosevelt Cares Less for Law and Jus.
tice Than Any One of His
Predecessors.

The Nashville American, a fair
minded southern paper, is right when
it says that if the right of any citizen
OF the United States to vote is denied in
violation Of the constitution, the repub-
lican party does not propose to restore
to him that right. 1t does not propose
to protect him in his right as a citizen
OF the United States. 1t proposes to
leave him helpless and without remedy.
1t merely proposes, not in the interest
of the citizen that is deprived of his
rights, but for political purposes and
partisan advantage, to reduce the rep
resentation Of the states in which such
citizens live. 1t would concede the
white citizens in such states the right
to vote and to be represented accord
ing to their numbers, but it would Of
fer no relief to the citizens deprived of
the right" to vote. 1t would leave
them to their fate. And it would be
glad to do so. Not sympathy for the
negro, or interest in his rights, but a
desire to gain a partisan advantage. is
the motive which ~actuates it. There
Is not much comfort for the negro in
this attitude of the republican party.
which plainly declares that it has no
objection to the disfranchisement of
the negro, provided he is not included
in the basis of representation.
AS for the south, If it should come
to a choice between an unrestricted
ignorant negro vote and a reduced rep
resentation in congress, it will unhes-
1tatingly choose the latter. But there
should be no necessity of doing either,
There would not be if reason and JUS
tice prevail. There should be no at
tempt to punish the south because of
its negro burden.
Mckinley was opposed to any such
policy. He gave cold comfort to the
Paynes and the Crumpackers. But
Roosevelt is different. The plank above
quoted would not have appeared in the
republican platform il Roosevelt had
objected to 1t. The platform was writ
ten by a close personal friend under
his advice and guidance. 1t reads like
a declaration Of war against the south,
and attempts to revive the sectional
spirit and to arous animosities that
had almost disappeared when the ruth
less rough rider appeared on the stage.
That it will operate to the ultimate
advantage of the republican party we
do not believe.

Queer Currency.

DeWarra, a currency of New Britain
is an instance of how the spoils of the
chase may be turned to account as the
outward and visible sign Of wealth.
Cowarra is made by stringing the shells
Of a dog-whelk upon the ribs of palm
leaves. These strings may be retailed at
SO much a automatically the price is
equivalent to about three shillings a
fathom length-or they may be made
Into various articles of personal adorn-
ment to be worn on great occasions. In
New Britain the dewarra boarded up by
q rich man is produced at his funeral
and divided among his heirs in much the
same kind of way as personal property
Is divided amongst us.

RIVERS.
Great Warehouses Through Which
Foreign Craft Are Per-
mitted to Pass.

Several months ago a woman in
fquitos, Peru, who wished to join her
husband at Callao, on the other side OF
the Andes, went by way of the Amazon,
New York and Colon, and reached Cal
lao about as quickly and with less dis
comfort than if she had gone over the
mountain passes, says Youths Com
panion.
The Amazon is Peru's highway to
the sea for travel and trade from the
eastern slopes of the mountains.
Through agreements with Brazil, and
in accordance with the general rule OF
international law, the river is ope to
the merchant ships of all nations ON
equal terms. The Peruvian government
has recently been shipping arms up the
river to lquitos, and the Brazilian gov
eminent has issued an order prohibiting
The transit either of arms or of ammu-
milton for Peru through the Brazilian
part of the river. This action was taken
because Peru disputes the Brazilian
boundary claims in the Acre district,
and has been suspected of preparing to
fight for its territory. The Peruvian
government has of course objected to
closing the river to any form of ita
commerce.
The Amazon is not the only inter-
national river which has been made
free to commerce by the people through
whose countries it passes. The Rhine
has been free since 1869. The Douro
is free to the ships of both Spain and
Portugal. The Danube was made free
by the treaty at the close of the Crimean
war, and the Parana and the Uruguay
have been free for a generation.
One of the reasons for the purchase
of Louisiana was President Jefferson's
desire to keep the Mississippi free, and
to prevent such a complication as that
in which Brazil and Peru are now in
volved. And through the insistence of
the United States government Great
Britain once made the st. Lawrence as
free to United States lake shipping as
to British. But war invalidates all
treaties and has rules of its own.
Justification for closing the Amazon
can be found only in the claim that the
shipment of arms up the river is a war
like act on the part of Peru.

OUR DEMOCRATIC LEADERS
Party Can Now Face Coming Fight
with Absolute Assurance of
Certain Victory.

The united democracy has spoken.
1t has declared it's choice for president,
and Judge Alton B. Parker is the
party's nominee. Toward this events
have been moving for months past,
acquiring within the week preceding
the convention date an irresistible mo-
mentum. All through the proceedings
the desire and the purpose of democ-
racy's representatives declared itself,
and Judge Parker was nominated in
a whirlwind of enthusiasm. Henry G.
Davis, of West Virginia, was NOM
mated for the vice presidency. His
large experience in public life fits him
for the place, and in his person the
south once more finds representation
on a national ticket.
Judge Parker, says the st. Paul
Globe, is a man worthy of the high
place, of the loyal support of a great
party and of the suffrages of the
American people. He is of the finest,
highest type that America produces.
The bitterest enemy has found no flaw
in his armor and no blot upon his
escutcheon. His party record is with
out a blemish. In the great judicial
position that he has filled so ably he
has won the golden opinion of the bar,
the bench and the public. He is be-
loved by all who know him, and re-
spected by rich and poor for the pur-
ity, integrity and strength of his man
hood. In the best sense of that grand
old word, he is a democrat.
There are many days before us in
which to tell the worth of this splen-
did standard bearer. 1t is enough now
to herald the event, to congratulate
the party and the people that have
waited for such a man, to sound the
note Of coming triumph, Let demo-
Gratis everywhere prepare to face the
fight with an assurance of coming VIC
tory. For just as this man, strong in
his simplicity, his courage, his pa
triotism, has grown and grown in the
party's esteem with the passing of
days, until from a comparatively little
known figure he has emerged the CEN
ter OF a great party's hope, so will he
grow into the popular mind and heart
and conscience from this day forth. It
is a winning battle that we fight. De-
mocraey has found itself and found it's
leader. To him the steadfast sons OF
the republic will turn with ~undeviat-
ing faith, and with him as our candi-
date we shall win.

Monkey

A monkey brought a criminal to JUS
tice in Singapore some time ago. A
native with a little boy, a bear and a
monkey travelled lately through sew
eral village, in the straits settle
ments and made a good sum of money
by his animals tricks. One day he
was found with his throat cut, the
boy and the bear lying murdered close
by, while the monkey had escaped up
a tree. The bodies, with the monkey,
were being taken to the police sta
ton, when the monkey suddenly
rushed at a man in the crowd, seized
his leg and would not let go. The
mar seemed so alarmed and anxious
to get away that the police became
suspicious and searched him, with the
result of finding part of the money
belonging to the murdered native.
The balance was discovered in his
house.-Hour Glass.

TRUE SON OF THE PEOPLE
Republican Paper Discovers in Parker
a Man Who Is Worthy Of
Public Confidence.

The Chicago Tribune, the leading
republican newspaper of the west
says that Judge Parker's personality
II there were need Of driving it hons
to one word, would best be EMBODIED il
the word stability.
He was born a New York farmer in
the Hudson river region. He remain:
q New York farmer in the Hudson
river region. His estate at Esopus is
none the less a farm because it hap
pens to be called by the estately name
Of Rosemont.
Parker owns two farms besides
Rosemont. He is what his fathers
we're before him, a practical cultivator
Of ground and a practical breeder of
animals. When he stands in his farm
clothes among his Red Poll bulls, his
Shropshire sheep, and his Poland Chi
ma pigs, this chief Judge of the state
Of New York is one of the finest liv-
Ing Illustrations of the stability OF
temperament which keeps some men
rooted securely in their ancestral en-
Vironment.
The same fundamental characters
tics can be observed in Parker's work
rs a judge. He has been a judge since
1885. Before 1885 he had taken an
active personal part in local politics.
Since 1885 he has never strayed from
the bench to the hustings. He has re-
garded himself as the agent of the
state of New York for the settlement
Of legal controversies and for the
maintenance of the science of juris-
prudence. From this high vocation he
has never been drawn away by any
counter call of political exigency or
Of personal ambition. The serene and
unvexed impartiality of the law could
be intrusted to no more unwavering
hands.
Yet he seems to have enough dis
tinction of temper to attract interest
He was not much more than a boy
when he vas elected clerk of a board
Of supervisors. He was only rs when
he was elected surrogate of Ulster
county. He was only 80 when he was
reelected surrogate on a democratic
ticket which brought success to him
alone. He was only "a when he be-
came chairman of the state committee
in the campaign which made David B.
Hill governor.
With Hills election his active po-
litical life ceased. At the close of the
campaign the mar whom he had
helped into the %statehouse helped him
into the judiciary. From 1885 to the
present time Parker has been a Judge.
Also, he has been a jurist. He has
drawn so far away from politics that
his decisions are developments in iur-
%tsprudence and not incidents in party
warfare.
Nevertheless his political strength
has remained unattenuated. In 1897
he was nominated by the democrats
for the office of chief Judge of the
court of appeals, the highest judicial
office in New York. In 1896 Mckinley
had carried New York state by $685.
900. Parker annihilated this majority
and created a counter majority of co.
900. He is the only democrat who has
been elected to a state office in New
York since 1891.
AS a citizen and a jurist. Alton B.
Parker has been upright, clean-mind-
ed and honorable. The democratic
party has done well in presenting to
the country a candidate of such per,
sonal rectitude.
