CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

Mr.. Roosevelt has accepted the
nomination for president, but so have Mr..
Swallow and Mr.. Watson. Accepting
nominations is a cheap and popular
amusement.-Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal.
Hon. r. P. Hunter, a Louisiana re-
publican, declares that the election of
Roosevelt would be a calamity to the
country. The American people so c
ognized it and will defeat Mr.. Roose-
elt.-Houston (Tex.) Post.
Republican campaign managers
claim that Roosevelt can be elected
without carrying New York. After
further reflection they will reach a
conclusion that there are other states
which their nominees will not carry.

WILL BE ELECTED.
American People Want a Sane, Safe
and Conservative Man in
White House.

The national democracy has turned its
face toward the light.
1t has named for president Of the
United States a candidate who repre-
sents the sane sentiment of the mass of
the party and the patriotic purpose of
the American people.
What it means, and what the country
will recognize in this nomination, is a
reversal of the attitude of the two crest
parties. The democracy, from radical,
becomes conservative. The republican
party is left as the exponent of radical
ism.
Alton B. Parker is the safe man. Theo-
dore Roosevelt is the dangerous man.
The contrast is made between the Judi
cial temperament, the statesmanlike
force of character of Judge Parker. and
the fiery impulsiveness of the rough
rider.
Can it be doubted which candidate
Will appeal more strongly to the solid
sense of the American people?
Parker is the guarantee of safety.
rtoOSeVelt is q danger.
There are excellent reasons for ex-
pecting the election of Judge Parker. He
comes from the state of New York-the
state whose vote still decides presiden-
tial elections-and he will carry his
state. He has done it before when a
candidate for high judicial office, against
great odds, and by the force of his per-
sonality, his character and his record he
will do it again as candidate for presi-
dent.
New York is essentially the pivotal
state. Judge Parker will also carry Con-
necticut, New Jersey and other states
which for eight years past have been
classed as doubtful.
The probability is that with Parker
the democracy will win the election.
The candidate has shown characteristic
delicacy In refusing to be drawn into a
discussion of the issues of the cam.
paign or to take any part which could be-
construed into an effort to obtain the
nomination. The public recognizes his
good sense.
Thus the campaign opens. The lines
are clearly drawn. 1t is the fantastic
politician against the seasoned jurist
and statesman.
The Washington Post truly says that
not since the civil wal has the democ-
racy entered upon the campaign with
such omens of success. The Tilden cam
paign-out of whose result the people
were cheated-the two Cleveland CAM
paigns which were successful, did not
present such a prospect at the outset.
The fact that the people want a safe,
sane man in the white house to direct
the fortunes Of the republic as its chief
executive, instead of an cratic, impul-
sive rough rider.
Befog the issue as you may, this is the
point on which the election will turn.

A LOVE-SICK MAIDEN'S LEAP

Death From n Cliff Near

fair prompted Miss Ethel Devereux, a
young society woman of Raleigh, who
had been a guest of Esmeralda inn, a
mountain resort near Asheville, to leap
to her death from a cliff into the
French Broad river, 200 feet below.
Before jumping, Miss Devereux
burned a large package of letters and
threw away a gold locket which con-
tanned a lock of hair which she had
constantly worn for years.
Miss Devereux left her hotel at an
early hourThursday morning and when
she did not return by nightfall search
ing parties were sent out. At a late
hour Friday night the girls body was
found.

TROUBLE IS MULTIPLYING.
Why the Manipulators of the Repub-
lican Machine Are Worried
Almost to Death.

The republican managers are not so
cocksure as they were. On the contrary
they are just beginning to learn how
thoroughly cemented together the DEM
ocratic party is. Following the omin-
GUS breach in the republican ranks in
Wisconsin, Senator Scott rushes to
Washington with a tale of woe that is
calculated to draw tears from a stone.
He says that his colleague, Steve FL
kins, is working hand in hand with Sen
ator Davis to turn West Virginia over
to the democrats next fall, and thus pre-
vent SCOTS reelection. He says that
Elkins is not greatly concerned for the
election of Roosevelt.
Chairman Babcock also has troubles
to confide to Cortelyou about the Wis
consin situation, and Secretary Metcalf,
formerly a representative of California,
is disturbed at the claims of the Cali
fornia democrats, who are loudly assert
ing that they will carry the state.
Every day it is dawning upon the re-
publican leaders that they are due to en-
counter a great, democratic tidal wave
this fall. The area Of debatable ground
is constantly expanding. At first they
were inclined to put West Virginia, Della
ware and Maryland in the doubtful col
umn, but eve old Grosvenor is begin
ming to admit that republican chances
are slender in those states.
Now California, Colorado, Idaho,
Montana and Utah are not only regarded
no longer as certain republican terri
tory, but strong indication points to
democratic success in those states. New
York is almost hopeless from a repub-
lican standpoint, and even republican
papers and leaders in Indiana admit
that the democrats have as good a chance
to carry the state as the republicans.
Fairbanks has not strengthened the
ticket a particle in the Hoosier state.
The tone Of the independent press Is
distinctly favorable to Parker, and this
Is a reasonable indication that the IN
dependent vote is leaning in the same
direction.
1t is three months until the election,
and admittedly many things might hap
pen within that time that would have a
vital bearing on the result. But, says
the Houston Post, there can be no exag-
geration in saying that in no previous
campaign since 1856 has the party en-
tered upon the contest with SO 1attering
a prospect for complete victory.

FACTS ARE BEING COLLECTED
IL is Alleged That the Packers Are
Violating the Law Mt Every
Turn, Even to h ImpOrta-
ton OF Foreigners.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-That the federal
government is preparing to take an
active part in the stock yards strike
Was indicated when International Sec.
rotary Call of the Butcher Workmen
divulged the fact that he had been in
conference with an emissary of the
United States bureau Of labor and CON-
merce. Who this agent is or what his
immediate plans, Mr.. Mccall refused to
say, but the strike leader made this
significant remark:
Are Violating the Law.
In everything the packing trust is
doing they are violating the law. Their
very business combination is in re-
straint of trade, and there is not one
of them that is not amenable to the
federal laws. A sample of their opera
tons came to my knowledge after sto-
RE had been printed in the news
papers telling of the importation OF
immigrants from foreign lands to take
the place of American workingmen
who are on strike. One of our pickets
found in the street an immigrants
receipt showing that the immigrant
had been paid $3.50 for passage to
Chicago.
A TelItale Sentence.
AT the bottom of the printed slip
was the sentence: We hereby agree to
rebate to the bearer s5S.70 on presenta-
ton CT this receipt at Chicago Of
fice.'
Il showed this document to an off.
cidi of the United States bureau of la
hor aud nj and Inadvertently
allowed him to keep it."
Order to Tcnmsters.
Recording Secretary Shanahan of the
Packing House Transfers union an
Eounced that orders would be issued
Immediately TO teamsters to stop the
removal of meats from several cold
storage warehouses in the city. The
allied trades executive committee, he
said, would act upon the teamsters' po-
sitlon, and a report favoring sympa-
thetic action by transfers who have
Eeen distributing meat from ware
houses would mean the immediate is
suauoe OF a strike order to those driv-
err.
President Donnelly, the strike leader,
who has heen on a trip to Kansas City
and other packing centers, has re-
turned.
Strike breakers continue to pour in
to the yards. The new arrivals includ-
cd another trainload of immigrants.
The recruits were frightened into hys-
ter.cs by a series of terrific explosions
caused by strike sympathizers placing
dynamite caps and ~saltpetre.

is not a change Of tariff policy, of mon

Silent on the Labor Issue.

After having discussed other propo-
sitions at great length and with ref
erence to details, real and imaginary,
1t is passing strange that Mr.. Roose-
welt confined his remarks on capital
and labor to a few brief platitudes
that apparently mean nothing in the
concrete, however much they imply in
the abstract. Not by word or hint did
the man who represented the repub-
lican party as its standard-bearer sug-
gest a method by which present com-
plications may be Strengthened to the
honor of the nation and to the credit
OF the people. Nor did the president
attempt to explain how present condi-
tons have been brought about and
where the responsibility for the fric-
ton lies, problems that should be fear
lessly met and conscientiously Crap
pied with by the leading thinkers for
the nation.-Butte (Mont.) Miner.
