Still Some Cleveland Talk.

A Trenton dispatch conveys this informa-
ton:
THAT ex-senator Smith Is going to make
a determined effort to swing New Jersey
back into democracy is shown by his atti-
tude at the outset Of the campaign and by
his very apparent willingness to make any
reasonable concessions In the interests of
harmony. While Mr.. Smith has not come
out openly for Charles c. Black. 1T is safe
to assume that he will have the Hudson
county man selected when the proper time
comes
When Mr.. Blacks name was first men,
toned Mr.. Smith was known to favor the
nomination OF Grover Cleveland. and he Is
still OF the opinion that the nomination of
the ex-President for governor Of New Jer-
sey would result in carrying the state for
Parker and Davis Many OF the leading
democrats Of the state. however. are of the
opinion that Mr.. Cleveland would hardly
care to risk the chance of being defeated
for governor of New Jersey after twice
having been elected President Of the United
States
We may be very certain that Mr.. Cleve-
land will take no risks for Judge Parker or
anybody else. He isn't constructed in that
fashion He is a close calculator. and rea-
sons with an eye to the main chance. His
success in seeking off1ce-extraordinary
from the beginning-has been due in the
main to a judgment which Is never confused
or misled by altruism. If there was moth
ing in sight for Mr.. Cleveland there was
ever but small hope of inducing him to
clear deck for action. Whenever he has
gone into a contest with enthusiasm the
prize appealed to him.
MIR. Smith may be right in the belief that
with Mr.. Cleveland at the head of the state
ticket the New Jersey democrats would give
a good account of themselves better ac-
count maybe than under any other leader

Judge Parker Accepts.

Judge Parker's speech of acceptance
throws very little light upon his mental
political processes. 1t is well written
e. say upon the Constitution and the form
OF government. but ii lacks the snap of a
campaign speech. 1t will probably cause
discontinue Ill those quarters where they
Ike their political pabuium well spiced and
directly to the point.
In substance, the candidate accepts the
nomination. approves the platform
whole. discusses the constitutional guaran-
tees of life. liberty and property: intimates
but does not directly assert that those
guarantees not upheld by the present
administration of the government: de-
ne nces the present tariff law and pledges
hlnself if elected to work for it's modinca
tiCn. although he sees no immediate hope
of success in that direction because of the
interposition of the republican Senate: de-
clares the growth of the trusts to be fos
tered by the high tariff. pledges himself to
= course of law enforcement against Illegal
trusts to the limits of the existing statutes
ii necessary and under such further lesis-
l&tion within constitutional limitations as
will give the people "A Just and full meas
ure of proteCtion:" declares that this gov
eminent should make plain to the Fllipinos
Its purpose to give them the lights of self
government as soon they are capable of
exercising them; deprecates the display of
military spirit. says that the United States
can become a world power rather through
its agencies of peace than those of war.
and finally pledges himself. if elected. not
to accept a denomination.
Indeed this last item in the speech is
the clearest and most distinct of all. 1t is
the one positive expression, and even its
effect is modified by the recollection of Mr..
Cleveand's emphatic declaration, upon
taking seat as President the first time,
that he would not ask for a second term.
However, the country will be disposed to-
day to give Judge Parker the benefit of
the doubt and let him run the chance OF
being put to the test of his own renuncia-
ton.
Excessive caution marks his utterance on
the subject of the trusts. He INDUCES in
no denunciation of them and--it must be
especially marked-does not venture to
promise advocacy of an amendment to the
Constitution in case that instrument does
not at present permit a sufficient legal as
sstult upon them. The most emphatic word
of all relating to existing issues is that
upon the tariff. and its force is lessened by
Judge Parker's frank confession that the
best he can hope for is that even a repub-
lican Senate may heed the warning and
give consent to give at least some measure
of relief to the people"
1t is disappointing speech, disappointing
to all who hoped to hear Judge Parker as
sumo a definite tone the subjects of
interest whether they are republicans or
democrats. Much depends upon the letter
of acceptance as to whether this feeling
will be removed But judging from the
literary style of the speech it is to be fear
ed that the letter will read even more sug-
gestively like a judicial decision rather
than a campaign document.

Ways Of a Trust.
From the New York Journal of Commerce

From the New York Journal OF Commerce.
An act has been proposed in the parlia-
ment at ottawa by the minister of inland
revenue and has already passed the house
of commons which Is aimed directly at an
American trust abuse that Is of a worse
character than selling cheaper abroad
than at home, and one that is doing more
harm at home than abroad. The "tobac-
co trust" has been one Of the most greedy
and ruthless in It's method Of trying to
establish monopoly and kill competition.
It's favorite weapon has been bargains with
dealers handling its products. giving ia
vorable and profitable terms on condition
that they agree to handle no goods Of other
producers. BY this means 1t has sought
through large capital and widely extended
organization to shut competing companies
out of the best markets. and so far as
possible out of all markets. and ruin their
business. 1t Is largely by such means
that it has crippled rivals and forced them
to sell out or join the combination. These
contracts to handle trust goods only are
the most effective weapons for destroying
competition yet devised without direct gov
eminent help. and they are In restraint of
all trade except that OF the would-be mo-
nopOly.

Is New York for Salep

canoe or the suggestion. That il mean,
the closer identification of rames i Hin
Oh tue Northern merger fame with the
democratic campaign was evident. Colonel
Lamont is Il man of ability but not a M
litical leader. and would not on any irdi

cal preferment. His strength lies in his
former intimacy with Mr. Cleveland. and
hts present intimacy with Mr.. Hill. He IL
one of Mr. Hills lieusenants.
The New York Times which is support
ing Judge Parker for President, and de-
sires the nomination of Colonel Lamont
for governor, contained an interesting news
story yesterday OF which this is a part:
1T is said that Mr.. Hill believes that Mr..
Lamont can carry the state of New York
and can materially aid the election OF the
electoral ticket For this reason there is
good reason To believe that MIR HIS con-
tribution To the national campaign fund
would he several hundreds of thousands of
dollars more If Mr.. Lamont is named for
governor than IL the nomination goes tn
another. Moreover. IL is said that Mr. Hill
would contribute materially to the cam
palgn IN New York state IL his friend La
mont. who also is an intimate business as
sociate. should be running
From national committee source the
belief was expressed last night that Mr.
Hill would contribute fully 100000 to the
national campaign and $I0lDoO to the New
YORK state campaign if Mr.. Lamont is
named and that his donations might reach
twice that sum If the indications contin-
ued To point To party success and il could
be shown To him where further eontribu-
tons on his part would aid the canvass"

that is to say. regrets the enterprise of its
political reporter-but confesses that the in
formation came from member of the

SEVERED ARTERY IN WRIST.

Kansas City, Feb. 2.-Because it is alleged that he was short in his ac- counts, N. F. Pettis, a bookkeeper for the Cunning Sign Painting company attempted suicide in his room at the Stratford hotel early this morn ing, by trying to cut an artery in his wrist.

He was removed to University hos-itaI.

HATS OF EcRu AND STRAW.
Newest Models Seem to Turn Up With an Exaggerated Sweep on One Side

The modistes are making hats of straw and erin and the couturiers de- voting attention to voile and mousse line gowns. The hats are very large. and their wide brims are often draped with the folds of a lace veil. the folds growing deeper to form a curtain be- hind. Another lovely fashion is a. sim gle long lace end falling from the back of the hat. This is draped gracefully over one shoulder and fastened on the bust with a jewel.
 A model called the Trianon is made of white erin, embroidered with cream straw The entire brim is draped with a deep lace flounce, the nounce barely coming over the hat biim in front, but falling almost to the shoulders in the back. There is a cache peigne behind of tiny white roses, and the crown of the hat is trimmed with a band of white roses, with a fringe of small green buds falling from the flowers.
 The hats seem either to droop or to turn up. with an exaggerated sweep on one side. white hat is made of white straw and finely shirred gauge. and built on the directoire lines. Under one side. near the back. is a bunch of small pink roses, holding long white scarf. which may be wound in any pretty fashion about the threat. The three cornered shape will be worn again in the spring. Its severity is sometimes softened by a ribbon rosette on one side holding falling bunch of flowers.
 Some of the spring walking hats will
