Mr.. Cowherd, chairman of the demo-
cratic congressional campaign commit
tee has this to say of the negro suffrage
plank in the republican platform:
The negro plank is the only honest
plank in the platform, and it is in
famous. McKinley's noble utterances
above southern graves, his openly rec
ognized policy of a white rule for
southern states was thought by patri-
otic men to signal the death of section
alism. Roosevelt's negro policy joined
to Lodges force bill will revive it. The
Crumpacker resolution, discarded by
republicans of house and senate alike,
has been forced by the president upon
his party. 1t will prove the worst
mistake among many. Every patriotic
citizen, anxious for his country's future,
wishing to see preserved the purity of
the Anglo Saxon race and American in
stitutions, is willing that the southern
states shall adopt any legal expedient
that will save that fair land from the
control of - ignorant and debased
suffrage.
The democrats of the south wish to
eliminate the negro as a political factor
and would have succeeded in doing SO
had President Mckinley lived. But
Mr.. Roosevelt seems determined t.
keep this issue Above.

THE POSTS EULoGY ON PARKER.

The Washington Post never seemed
TO take kindly TO the idea of Judge
Parkers nomination. The Judge.
though, seems now TO have routed the
Posts forces, horse, foot and dragons.
or rather. we should say has COM
pletely overcome that papers opposi
ton and won its approval and admira-
ton by his straightforward and manly
action OF last Saturday. OF the judges
telegram to Mr.. Sheehan The Post. in
its leading editorial Of Monday, says.
II Judge Parker at one time embar-
rassed his friends and greatly COM
forted his opponents by maintaining
an oracular if not obstinate silence. il
must be admitted that he has made
ample amends at last. His words We're
few and almost curt, but they went
to the very heart Of things, and they
are susceptible of indefinite elabora-
ton. First Of all, he reveals himself
in a radiance of sound craftsmanship,
serene candor, and unhesitating cour-
age. 1t is not only that he espouses
and proposes to maint tain the gold
standard, but that he will not accept
the democratic nomination with that
fact subjected to the smallest doubt.
In ten simple, clear-cut lines he took
the American people into his conf
dence; told them everything they
wished or cared to know-told them
in fact more than all the convention
orators put together had conveyed in
the combined torrents of their talk.
But there is a thousand times more
than this in Judge Parker's declara-
ton. The manner and the circum-
stances of it are of infinitely greater
consequence than the matter. import
ant and conclusive though the mat
ter be. 1t was necessary, of course, to
reassure the country Without givint,
such reassurance-Standin silently
upon the structure Of evasion, contra
diction, and faint-hearted debate
which the St. Louis thinkers cynically
called a platform - Judge Parker
would have had no more chance of
triumph at the polls than would the
nominee of the populist or the prohi-
bition party. He has, however, gone
far beyond the mere removal of the
doubts enveloping his purely intellec-
tual convictions. Through the medium
Of that one brief utterance he has
disclosed to us the qualities of highest
leadership. More even than that, he
has proved his scorn of eminence not
fairly won-his contempt for distinc-
ton and authority procured by artifice
or stealth.
And most significant of all features
in this sensational tableau was Judge
Parker's deliberate choice of a mo-
ment at which his party still had the
power to reject him and repudiate his
domination. He was ready to accept
the responsibilities of leadership. but
not willing to resort to stratagem. He
declared himself at a time when the
democracy were in a position to ac-
cept or to reject the compact he pro-
posed. He means to rule-that is
evident enough-but he will rule with
the consent Of the governed, or not
at all.
The Post has had much to say,
though it has nothing to retract, with
reference to Judge Parker's silence in
| the past. Now that he has spoken, We
wish to pay him the tribute Of our
| profound respect and admiration.

November with two sentences of eight

had been twice convicted of car break

Governor Montague granted Martin
a conditional pardon on the strong rec

An Arab Spy Outwitted i.

Once at least, in Egypt, the loss Of
his eye in an earlier campaign proved
great service to Lord WOlseley and
his army. He could get no information
of the enemy's strength or position.
An Arab was captured prowhng around
our outposts, and was brought before
him. 1t was ten to one the sullen fell
low knew everything. Lord Wolseley
questioned him. The fellow answered
never a word, standing stolid between
the two soldiers. At last happy idea
struck the General. He said in Arabic:
1T is no use your refusing to answer
me, for am a wizard, and at wish
can destroy you and your masters. To
prove this to you, will take out my
eye, throw it up, catch 1t, and put it
back in my head" And, to the horror
and amazement of the fellow, Lord
Wolseley took out his glass eye, threw
it up, caught and replaced it. That
was enough; the Arab capitulated. and
the information he gave the staff led
to Arabrs defeat.-London Onlooker.

Eggs. larvae, and pupae. the stages In
which most insects pass the winter,
are perfectly immune to cold
II is a common idea that cocoons OF
insects serve as protection against
cold, but this is entirely erroneous.
They, like the summer webs of web
worms, are a protection against birds
and insect parasites, but not against
cold. The cocoons of summer broods
are as stout and thick as those of the
generations that pass the winter.
Moths, butterflies and other insects
build stouter and more compact
cocoons In tropical AMI torrid coun.
tries than they do In those climates
where they are besieged by winter,
There are many insects. allied to the
builders Of cocoons, that make no such
covering, the pupa or the chrysalis be-
ing exposed. And so little heat Is
maintained by the pupae OF insects
that no matter how thick the cocoons.
they are always too slight to repel
freezing cold.
Certain degrees of frigidity seem to
have vastly different effects on differ
ent species OF insects. CHATS anG
midges dance in the winter sunshine;
BUTTERFLIES, Vanessa, Grapta and some
times Colias, skim over the snow;
wasps and bees wind their way
through the leahess woods; ground
beetles run quickly over the cold
earth; crickets peep from beneath
stones and rotting logs; while other
species, the vast majority, in fact, are
locked in the lethargy Of Information.
One OF the commonest evidences of

An Italian scientist claims to have

great mediums in the disinfection Of
towns. He points out that the electric
spark, which is 80 frequent an occur

when the rail Is used for the return
