chapter is devoted to showing that DisraeH most
emphatically possessed imagination and used il
from beginning TO end. At the time of his en-
trance into political life il was not precisely the
quality to commend itself to Englishmen at
large. Mr.. Sichel quotes the warning given by
She'll in 1887 to the future Prime Minister:
The House will not allow man to he a wit and
an orator. unless they have the credit of finding
it out You have shown the House that you
mand OF language. that you have courage temper
and readiness Now get rid Of your genius for a
argue and reason imPerfeetly. for if you reason
witty: Astonsh them by speaking on subjects OF
detail Quote figures. dates calculations, and in
eloquence which they all know are in you: they
will encourage you to pour them FORTH and then
you Will have the ear OF the House, and be
favorite-
This may seem curious. paradoxical advice to
have given to the young Disraeli, with his eager
temperament. but the shrewd observer of human
affairs will admit that it was sound. The recip-
lent of it followed it. in a measure and, indeed
became of the most self-cOntrolled states
men in history, type of restrained skill in de-
bate and in all the arts of public life. Mr.
Sichel cites many illustrations of the care he
took to watch his own conduct. One of them
refers to the contrast between his demeanor and
that of his great rival in the House. when both
were under the influence of strong feeling. ut
must be confessed" he says. that he loved to
draw Mr.. Gladstone. and those who remember
how, when Disrael sat down and rela psed into
impassivity, Mr.. Gladstone jumped up with
look of rage and voice of thunder, will admit
that both performances were perfect" Yet his
biOgrapher describes him as having quick and
sensitive nature, and as having had to school
himself to conceal his emotions by two mechan-
zeal devices The was to stroke his knees
regularly with his hand the other to sean the
clock"
No matter what restraints Disraen put upon
himself, he cherished his imaginative faculty
and Mr.. Sichers task is to exhibit his exercise
of it along certain specific lines. In Disraelfs
attitude toward democratic ideas he finds n con-
servatism tempered by ideas, clear eyed and
never sentimental, but thoroughly sympathetic,
conception of the part to be played by the people
at large in the conduct of the state. Utopian
theories did not appeal to him. He saw no rea-
son for upsetting the system of classes in Great
Britain That mere numbers can never form
the ground of representation was one of the
articles of his belief. To anaIyze his position in
detail would carry far afeld and into regions
But must quote passage from a deIiv-
erance of his in 1862:
To build up community. not upon Liberal oDin-
but upon popular principles which assert equal
rights, civil and religious; to uphold the institu-
bodiment OF the wants and wishes of the nation

A lover comes with the gray October

In the fngle she waits with red-gold tressea
With rosy cheeks and with lips rose-red.
And we stretch our hands to her warm careSses
In days when the drifted leaves lie dead
Not a thought has she but to do our pleasure.
With flash and sparkle to light our eyes,

With richer dreams than the sunset skies
She builds us castles of golden glory,
And builds them splendid with scarp ana

Yet her sweetest word is her own love-story'

Are you on, are you on, are you on?
Hill said, ''Boys, I'll leave the town when

If to win the race for my man you'll but

WHOM SHALL WE HIRE?
An Untried Man, or One Who Has
Made a Good Record.


The good results of the affairs of a
nation depend almost absolutely upon
it's relations with other nations. There
is under the present condition of thought
and affairs an advancement in the
world-a community of nations. The
one among those nations which exhibits
the greatest honesty and tact and com
mon sense, is the nation which will
be to the fore.
Under the administration Of the party
that is now controlling the affairs Of
the United States has occurred such ex-
traordinary diplomatic success as has
perhaps never been excelled by any ma
ton at any time. This success has ac-
crued because of the tact and sense of
the present President of the United
States, assisted by his Secretary Of
State. The record has been something
extraordinary, and all the civilized world
has recognized it.
Tact and sense are just as much a
requisite in the conduct Of the affairs
Of a nation as they are in the affairs
of a corporation or an individual We
reward those who exhibit tact and sense
by continuing them in place, for our
own benefit. The conclusion need hardly
be expressed. Any American citizen Of
intelligence will know whom to vote for

EDUCATION IN POLITICS.
Parker Talks of 1t, but Relies oR the
Strength of Tammany.
Judge Parker says this:

Judge Parker says this:
Whenever great question of public
Importance has arisen, it has been pre-
scented and championed through the press
and on the rostrum by the educated
thinkers of the country, who, for the
time being, are the real leaders, and
under whose banners the organization
leaders hasten to marshal their forces
lest their power shall be overthrown."
What Judge Parker has said above
is true and right and sensible. But
what, after the expression of such an
opinion, is Judge Parker's course? It is
very true that the educated thinkers
of the country should conduct the af-
fairs of the country. But what is Judge
Parker doing? Upon what and whom
does Judge Parker rely for carrying the
State of New York; one of the States,
the influence of whose electoral votes is
great in the results of the Presidential
campaign. He relies upon an un-Amer-
lean combination known as Tamfnany
Hail. 1t is absolutely impossible that
the man could hope to carry his own
State without the aid of this most cor
rupt organization, in the greatest city
of the country-an organization that has
simply become an enormous tester upon
the State in which it exists. But it has
been accepted in all exigencies, by the
Democratic party, which, to the credit of
that party, is a little above Tammany.
How ridiculous, under the circum-
stances, is the attitude of the more or
less qualified jurist who lives in ESQ
pus! Think of a man who even talks
of the influence of the educated man in
politics and who at the same time must
depend entirely for his success, in the
State Of New York, upon a conglomera-
ton of the most uneducated and vicious
elements ever gathered together in the
making of a political pool in a great
city It is hard to say it, but Mr.. Park
err cannot even afford to be respectable
in his explanations. He cannot afford
to talk about educated people or about
educated influence back of him, or about
all that is good and broad and cult
waited back of him because, without
Tammany back of him IN his own State,
he has not the shadow of a hope, and
Tammany is the worst force there is
poitically-a discredit to the country.
This is the nub of the thing. This is

SIN the orderly adm inistration of
affairs of the GOVERNMENT 1T is neces-
sary that each OF the three depart

Parker Is the Hope of Trusts.

New lOrk Irbune.D
James J. Hills selection of Judge
Parker as his candidate is significant.
He is angry with President Roosevelt
simply and solely for interfering with
his lawless schemes to monopolize the
railway traffic of the Northwest. He
turns to Democracy and Judge Parker
because he sees in them license to work
his sovereign and imperious will in the
domain of business without restraint on
the part of the government. And Mr..
j. J. Hill is an able, experienced, hard
headed man. who knows what he is
about. He is not in the habit of buying
gold bricks.

the statement of the thing. If this re-
spectacle jurist up in Esopus pretends to
say that the educated human beings in
this country can, under any circum-
stances, be with him, why, necessarily,
he must cut himself away from Tam
many. But politically he cannot afford
to cut himself away from Tammany-

Some COMMENTATORS.

Contrasted with the grand old Repub-
ican party: the one abolished slavery,
the other upheld it to the last; the one
put down the rebellion, the other sup
ported the rebellion; the one preserved
the National faith and credit, and. paid
the National debt, the other tried every
scheme and expedient to stultify the re-
public and avoid the debt; the one pre-
served the standard of value unchanged,
the other sought to tamper with it and
destroy it.

The New York Evening Post says
of HerIicls. the Democratic nominee
for governor of New York:
He has been a common ward and
county boss in Albany while sitting on
the bench as one Of New York's high
est judges.
The New York Evening Post is an
eccentric newspaper. but it is re-
spected, and financially responsible.
What it says of the Democratic NOM
inee for governor Of New York is
criminal libel, or it is not. What is
the Democratic nominee for governor
of New York going to do about it?

deposits in savings banks are mainly
