This Parrot Damned the YanA ees

A parrot with a history, which
belonged to Samuel H. Miller near
Shepherdstown, died last Monday.
The bird was So years old. Messrs.
Morgan and Rentch Miller went to
California from Maryland In I849,
hunting gold, and when they re
turned they came back by the 18th
mus of Panama. Here they bought
a couple of parrots. which they
carried home. One of them died
some years later, but the other was
a tough old bird and lived to en-
dorse the adage that the good die
young. He was we'll cared for and
highly regarded by the Miller fam
lily. During the battle of Antietam,
In the Civil War, bullet struck
the strap by which Polly's cage was
suspended, and the bird was
shocked and angered. Damn the
Yankees" 1t exclaimed, and was
rufHed for quite while. The par
rot was given to Thomas Miller,
and when he died he left 1t to Sam.
uel H. Miller. When 1t died a few
days ago 1t was buried on the Mil

ance with request of Thomas Mil

Trayesty ON Justice.

Berlin, April THE Tageblatt today
reports that the preliminary judicial
examination into the massacres of Jews
at Homel, Russia, in 1908, which have
been concluded, have proven a mere
mockery Of justice. The examining mag
istrates, having been bribed, have bullied
the ignorant witnesses with The result
that none of the Russians implicated will
undergo trial on the charge of plumber
ing and maltreating the Jews. On the
other hand, large number OF the Jews
have been indicted for disturbing the
peace by provoking the pupulace to attack
them. The detailed accusations against
the Jews state that they planned the
massacre OF Christians as revenge for the
killing of Israelites at Kishineff and thai
the Christians took justifable means o.
self defense.

THURSDAY EVENING. APRIL 7, 1904.

For SOME time past at short Intervals
publications have been made in various
newspapers to the effect that Senator
German would in a day or two give out
statements" some saying he wouid
define his position concerning his candi-
dacy for the presidency, and Others that
ne would announce himself in favor OF
another candidate, etc. The dates liked
for these predicted statements" have
passed and, as the Senator'S friends knew
from the beginning would be the case,
none such has been made. lndeeu
Senator Gormon has never said 10 MS
closest friends that he is candidate lot
the presidency, nor has he said that ne
Is not bat this he has invariably stated
to all who have spoken to him on tne
suhieet-that he is more interested IN the
welfare and success of the democratic
marty and in the defeat of Mr.. Roosevelt
than he is in the election Of any partcu-
lar candidate, himself included. That
Mr. German is honest and sincere IN
this declaration no one with wnom ne
has talked has the slightest doubt, ana
his advice to his friends in various states
,,ho have consulted him on the subject,
70 send the best men to the st. LOUIS
convention, irrespective of their personal
Indifference for President, fully attests
chic fact His desire is to secure unity OF
action in his party and have democrat
elected President and to achieve THIS enc
he is willing to make any personal sacrl'
flee that may be necessary. mat MI
Cormon is not seeking the nomination Is
known TO his nearest friends; that be
would accept it if rendered him is be-
Iieved by them all, and that the party
would make no mistake in putting him
at the head of the ticket no reason
able man can deny. Still, when the
national convention meets, should the
democratic party in its wisdom think
hest 10 name another for its leader, ii
will be found that there will be no
one who will more cheerfully acquiesce
in the choice than will Senator German,
and that he will do his utmost to carry
ont the will Of the convention and elect
;ts nominee can be relied upon by every
democrat in this broad land.

Mr.. Cleveland for Judge Parker

In letter of ex-President Cleveland
to the New Yolk World Mr.. Cleveland
indorses the candidacy of Judge Parker
for the democratic presidential nomina-
ton. Judge Parker's friends are de-
lighted over the appearance Of the let
ter at this time and think that it will
have the effect of still further advancing
the Parker boom.
Mr.. Cleveland in an interview with a
New York Tribune reporter at his home
in Princeton, n. j., on Tuesday, said
he knew Judge Parker to be sober,
capable man and a good democrat, and
minated that he was ready to help
fight democratic battles.
Democrats OF prominence say they
have reason to believe that Judge Parker
is the only man whom President Roose-
Welt really fears. They say have been
told that President Roosevelt looks
upon Judge Parker rs a most formidable
adversary, not only because of Judge
Parker's personality, but because of the
financial and political elements that can
be assembled in behalf of his campaign.
1t is openly said by democrats that if
Judge Parker is nominated the party
will have no trouble in getting aid from
the conservative industrial and financial
interests of the east in their campaign.
This is an important consideration, and
one which the leading democrats are not
overlooking.

HOUSE.
Immediately upon the converting of
the House today, Mr.. Palmer offered
resolution postponing until December
13 the consideration of the majority re-
port OF the committee on the judiciary,
calling for the impeachment of Judge
Charles Swayne, U. S. district judge for
the northern district of Florida.
Mr.. Lamar, who brought the i'm
peachmant charges against Judge
Swayne, said that the case demanded
the earnest consideration of the entire
of the House. He said
that he was personally opposed TO the
delay but it was his opinion that it was
for the best interests OF the House. The
only issue involved, he declared, was
the extreme desire of the people of Flor
ida to be rid of Judge Swayne. There !
is no politics in the case, he said.
Mr.. Palmer demanded the previous
question on the resolution and the House |
without opposition and without further |
lebate adopted it.
The conference report on the military
appropriation bill was then considered.
The House agreed to all the items in
dispute without debate, excepting four
