PIER EXTENSION.
Secretary Morton Plans Work at New
York Navy Yard.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Secretary Nor
ton has ordered the suspension of the
work of enlarging the power plant at
the New York navy yard and directed
that this plant be connected with that
OF the bureau of yards and docks. This
action has an important bearing on the
general question of the consolidation of
power PLANTS at all navy yards under
the control of the bureau of yards and
docks, plan proposed by Rear Admiral
Endicott, chief of that bureau, which
has been disapproved by the board of
construction and which is now before
the secretary for final action.
1t is understood that Secretary Nor
ton in his recent inspection of the navy
yard at New York, was deeply inn
pressed with the necessity of the pier
extension at that yard, and it is to be
expected that he will send to Congress
a recommendation for the necessary APP
preparation for this work.

fore their departure they declined to
discuss the details Of the conference.
A part Of their mission to Sycamore
Hill, it was said, was to look over the
Presidents letter of acceptance. Mr..
Root had not seen the letter before and
as he expects shortly to leave on an ex-
tended trip, the President invited him
to come to Oyster Bay at this time in
order that he might have the benefit Of
his counsel and suggestion.
While it is known that New York pol
itjcs was one Of the subjects under con-
sjderation. neither Chairman CortelyOu
nor Mr.. Root could he induced to make
any definite statement bearing upon the
situation. The President is deter
mined not to interfere with the New
York situation and hopes the delegates
to the Saratoga convention may be left
10 make the nomination for themselves.
Secretary Root said, today: Il have
nothing to add to what ] have already
said The convention will nominate a
good man and man / doubt not, who
will be satisfactory to the people l will

is held. | am going up to New Found
land for a few weeks, in company with

AFTER ENGLiSHMEN.
Parker Says Educated Men Should
Participate in Politics.

New York. Aug. Elm an article on
Educated Men in Politics, published
here in the current number of magazine,
Alton b. Parker. the Democratic Prcsi-
dental candidate, draws an unfavorable
contrast between that class in America
and the corresponding one in England.
In the course of his article, Mr.. Parker
says:
"A man who would succeed in business
should begin at the bottom and work to
masters every detail and proves himself
more skillful than those who are v.cing

control. The same rule applies in politics.

tiOns through tariff duties must con-
stitute an important means of raising
money to support the government"
Continuing he said: Not content
with having nominated a candidate
who had taught by his personal exam
pie the pernicious doctrine Of social
equality between the Anglo-Saxon and
the African races, the Republican
party has gone still further and as if
bent upon the mischievous design of
aggravating racial antagonism, it has
deliberately proclaimed it's intention to
reduce the representation of certain
states in Congress and in the ELECTORAL
college, because the people of those
states Will not consent to be represent
co by ignorant and inferior men.
This attempt to resurrect sectional
differences is in painful contrast with
the teachings of that great and kindly
man who was elevated to the Presiden-
cy by an election, and not by tragic
death.
1.-THE race problem which now con-
fronts the Southern people will tax
their highest wisdom and their most
unsellish patriotism in its solution and
they ought to have the help rather than
the hindrance of their countrymen here

it. Except for Il single and nameless
crime against the women of our land,
there is 10 thoughtful man in all the
South who does not deprecatc lynch law
or who doubts that it must and will be
suppressed.
They tell us that the President is
honest. Let us grant it, but let us
remember that he is as crratic as ne Is
honest. They tell us that the PreSl-

rash as he is brave. If we were seek

One Of the bones of contention between
the Electric Railroad Company and the
town Of Farmingdale for a long time has
been the piece Of track from the head of
the Causeway to the old Pottery brook.
At present time all are watching de-
velopmcn.s. A petition with a few sign
ers has been presented to the selectmen
asking that the track be raised to the
level of the street This has been ignored
by them and now another and larger one
is being prepared to be presented to them.
Those who are pushing the move claim
that they will appear before the grand
jury and ask for an indictment against
the town as a nuisance if their wish is
not granted. If serious steps are taken
a town meeting will probably be called
for action. Those who are opposing the
move claim that the petitioners could not
be granted the favor without material
damage to the town. In raising the track
it is claimed that it would be necessary
to cut down the beautiful shade trees
along the street or come into the roadway
about two feet, and this they claim would
damage the roadway. 1t is thought that
