Parker,s Answer to RooseveIt.

q read Judge Parker's answer to President Roosevelt's vicious attack with considerable interest,"" said a weli-known politician yesterday. "and am more than ever convinced of the fact that Judge Parker is a much broader and more con- servative man than MT. Roosevelt. In his attack on the democratic candidate President Roosevelt descended from his dignified position far enough to drop into every day slang. For instance. he said that every man should have square deal' That is a poker term pure and simple, and I think 1t far beneath the President to use it in public letter
 Judge Parkers answer to the Presi- dent was dignl1ed and clear, and think will make him many votes in the doubt ful states. What we need in this country is dignity and conservatism and Judge Parker has both these qualities"

TARIFF AND RECIPROCITY
Discussed By Gov. Cummins at the
Annual Lincoln Day Banquet.
Given BY the Minneapolis Flambeau
Club. and Was Listened to
With Great Interest.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Feb l3.-Goy.
Albert B. Cummins of Iowa was the
principal speaker Friday evening at
the annual Lincoln day banquet given
by the Minneapolis Flambeau club at
the Hennepin County Republican as
sociation. Five hundred sat down at
the festive board and listened atten-
lively to Gov. Cummins on THE Iowa
Idea"
Gov. Cummins' speech was general
discussion of national issues, but the
portion related to tariff revision and
reciprocity was listened to with great
interest, Gov. Cummins said:
"The time came at last when it was
seen, and at last understood, that
through wise and patriotic system of
import duties we had utilized our own
resources and held our own markets
until We were prepared to invade with
our surplus the markets of every coun-
try in the world. 1t was felt that we
had entered upon the stage of the
worlds affairs, and that henceforth we
must be reeokened with every turn Of
diplomacy in the paths of peace or in
the fields of war.
THE trouble between associated en-
ployes and associated employers has
reached point where it must be dealt
with by the government in calm,
comprehensive way The rights of
both must be recognized, and when
recognized, must be protected and pre-
served"
In speaking Of reciprocity, Gov. Cum
minis said:
I'VE want to sell Canada the things
we must buy. | appeal only for ne
gotiation. | have been accused of be-
ing in favor of free trade with Canada.
This accusation is as baseless as false
hood and malice combined can make
it. But | do believe that we should

Canada and the northwest "

The Maybrick Case.

The telegraph has already announced
the release from an English prison of
Mrs. Maybrick, whose case has attract.
ed so much attention in this country.
Florence, the daughter of the late
w. A. Chandler, banker Of Mobile,
was married number of years ago to
James Maybrick, an English cotton
buyer, who divided his time between
England and the United States in the
prosecution of his business, and died
in Liverpool in 1889, under circum.
stances that gave rise to the belief
that he had been poisoned.
His wife was very handsome
woman, who was suspected of the
gravest infdelity to her marriage
VOWS, and she was charged with hay-
ing caused her husbands death by ar,
senical poisoning. 1t was known that
Maybriek was in the habit of taking
doses of arsenical preparations under
the belief that they would operate tc
increase his physical vigor, and he
had carried this practice to such an
extent that his health had broken
down.
When Maybrick died, as he did after
an illness of some time, the charge
was made that the man was poisoned,
and suspicion rested on the wife. 1t
was known that arsenical compounds
were repeatedly purchased from the
neighboring druggists and were kept
in the house of Maybrick, being admin
istered to him by his wife and Others
These facts were brought into court,
and a post mortem examination of
Maybrick's body showed the presence
of arsenic.
1t should be remembered that ar.
senic is mineral and is not decom-
posed like vegetable poisons. but re-
mains in the human body and is easily
detected. Very much the same class
of facts existed in the Maybrick case,
as were brought out in that of New
Orleans woman who married man in
Kansas a dozen or more years ago.
Her husband was in the habit of tax
ing arsenic as special tonic, and he
died from it. His wife was charged
with his murder by poisoning. and was
tried on 1t in the Kansas courts and
was acquitted.
Mrs. Maybrick in all probability
would have been acquitted in United
States criminal tribunal, but she was
tried in Liverpool. Her supposed i'm
morality was extremely prejudicial to
her case, and she was condemned to
death, but the death sentence was COM
muted to Imprisonment for life. After
fifteen years of confinement at hard Ia
bor, she has been released on a special
license or ticket-of-leave, which vii. in
all probability allow her to reside in
America.
Disgraced and with her beauty vast.
ed and gone, she has little left her nov
save repentance and efforts to amend
her life. 1t is pitiful case.-Picay-
une.
