Judge Parker at Home.

The objection to Judge Parker rests upon
the assertion that his strength in New York
has never really been tested. His election
to the bench several years ago was accom-
plished at time when the republicans were
engaged in one of their periodical wrangles.
He benefited by complicated ballot which
many republicans, without thought of him,
used against a candidate of their own for
another office. Judge Parker's opponent for
the bench was an excellent man who ordi-
narily would have received his party's full
support and been elected. Since then there
has been no expression of the people as to
Judge Parker one way or another and so,
as some democrats are contending, it is the
baldest of assumptions for his friends to
declare that with him as the candidate for
President the party would be certain of the
state.
The force of this suggestion is found in
the fact that it comes from the Cleveland
people; and they are probably instructed
by the history of their hero He too
proffted on one occa sion by a serious re-
publican division. His election as governor
of New York in 1882 was no testimony to
his qualities, but protest by thousands of
republicans against the means by which
his opponent Judge Folger had been nomi-
mated. The latter was an able and excel
lent man, and had his party been united
would have been elected. 1t divided how
ever and Mr.. Cleveland slipped through
and into office with nearly two hundred
thousand majority.
Mr.. Manning, an extremely clever poll
uclan, seized this result for the purpose of
controlling the democratic national con-
vention in 1884 and succeeded in his effort
But the anti-Cleveland democrats pointed
out the weakness of Mr.. Manning's argyll
ment, and the risk the party was taking in
putting the national standard into Mr..
Clevelands hands. They laughed at the
statement that the two hundred thousand
majority of the state campaign was an ev-
ldence of Mr. Clevelands strength, and
predicted that it would disappear in the
national race with the republicans united
And it did dsappear-all but a beggarly
eleven hundred, and that, according to the
open charges of the day, was strongly
tirctured with fraud
Mr. Hill for Judge Parker is now playing
the game that Mr.. Manning then played for
Mr.. Cleveland. and the Cleveland people
strangely enough, are now playing the
game that John Kelly played. They are
pointing out how Judge Parker's one ma
jority in the state was secured and how
little the figures are to be relied upon for
results now under radically different cir
cumStances

lutions:

to the lynching of human being save, per-

''Second-That = confederate veterans
and law-abidIng citizens of Mississippi and

'Third-That we appeal in laundering

organization, the Daughters of the Con
federacy, one and all to arise in their
might and by precept and example voice

a stop to this diabolical, barbaric unlawful
inhuman and un-Godly crime of burning

These fires have been lighted on both sides

is that he often mods and sometimes goes

shame and injury of the community.
This is neither a sectional nor political
question, but affects vitality the welfare or
the whole country. The doors of such deeds
claim to be champions of virtue and the
protectors of innocence. They are neither,
but the worst enemies of both. They DIS
grace the image they bear and the lnstltu-
lions that shelter them. They merit the
execration of all mankind The language
used by the camp of ex-confederates III
Mississippi in describing this crime OF
burning goes to the limit of the vocabulary,
but does not go too far. If anything, one
could wish for even stronger words to ap-
ply to what is so sckeningly hideous in an
age called Christian and under a govern
ncnt called free and enlightened.

A fair reading of all the reports which
have come from the far east regarding the
various engagements at sea off Port Ar
thur between the Russian and Japanese
warships inevitably suggests to the Amer
lean mind that there is by no means as
high a grade of naval craftsmanship on
either side as there Is in this country's sea

do considerable damage to the Russian
vessels on the night of the first attack.
but most of the destruction was caused by
torpedoes. There Is a somewhat remark
able dearth of details showing accurate
large-caliber gun firing. either between
the warships or by the Japs at the land
Notifications This may, of course, be due
to the exceptional secrecy preserved by
both sides, or to the long ranges MAIN
tanned for the sake of safety. In fact, un-
til a full and authentic account of this
phase of the war is spread before the
world comparisons must be based solely
upon conjecture, as warranted by the pub
locations.
The extraordinary execution accomplish
ed by the American naval gunners both at
Manila and Santiago was the admiration
OF the world. Especially at Santiago when
Cervera attempted to run for the open sea,

cause of sheer bad craftsmanship, did phe-
nomenally little damage. "The man behind
the gun became world famed. A vast re-
spect for the American navy was obsery-
able in all quarters. 1t was recognized
that the years Of dfligent training had
worked their good results, and it is not to
be questioned that the American position
before the other powers became greatly
strengthened as result of that demon
stration that we not only possessed thor
oughly up-to-date naval equipment but
that we had the men to put 1t to it's most
effective uses upon demand.
Recent reports from the target practice
of the warships on the home station have
shown that the lesson learned in 1898 is
still being put to good use. few weeks
ago the gunners of the new battle ship
Florida made a record of nine bulrs-eyes
out of ten shots within less than fifteen
minutes of consecutive firing Better work
has just been reported from the Kearsarge,
which was lately engaged in target prac-
tice off Pensacola. The crew of one of the
eight-inch guns made ten consecutive
bulls-eyes in five minutes, beating the
worlds record, held by the New York, of
four successive bull s-eyes at the rate Of
two a minute. But the Kearsarge's good
work is not confined to the mid-caliber
guns, for a record was made with one Of
the thirteen-inch guns of five hits out of
six shots in five minutes and the other
gun of the same caliber scored six hits out
of seven shots.
Such gunnery in practice does not, of
course mean equivalent work in battle, es-
pecially as the ranges differ. But there is
unmiStakable evidence in the records of
the war of 1898 that the American naval
gunner loses very little of his GOODNESS. his
nerve and his accuracy in the turmoil Of
fight. Perhaps the Russians and the Japa-
nese are doing as well. The final summary
of the conflict alone will tell.

Pay Of Carriers.

From the New York Times.
Since the letter carriers were placed I'M

the general judgment of every community
that they are an unusually faithful, efficient
and Woodworking class of public servants.
In the larger towns they are not paid what
their work is really worth. not merely as

as compared with men in other callings re-

"Lids" in the Metropolis.

The people over in Greater New York are
much more interested just now in the ques
ton of lids than in the RussoJapanese
war, or the Mormon question, or the up
growth of presidential booms At present
attention is concentrated on the Brooklyn
phase of the lid issue. Is it down or is it
off? The dispassionate observer at dis
tance can get either view, according to the
medium through which he squints at the
case. For example. this mornings New
York Herald declares emphatcally that the
lid was wide open yesterday throughout
the city of churches, despite the attentions
paid to that borough by nearly four score
plain-clothes men from the Manhattan po-
lice headquarters. The thirsty man, says
the Herald, could get a drink anywhere,
with without the traditional Raines law
sandwich. There was no restriction, no
trouble, no arrests. Everything was wide
open, and so happy were the dispensers of
illegal grog that one of them, in moment
of enthusiasm, declared that the lid was
not merely open, but had been pried off its
hinges.
Then take the New York American, and
read that Brooklyn was a strictly moral
and legal city yesterday, that no liquor was
sold save with the proper accompaniment
of food" and that hundreds of bar rooms,
in the face of the lynx-eyed devotion of the
plainclothes men from Manhattan, shut
their doors tight, and the barkeepers had a
glad holiday. So proper was the city, in
deed, that only two arrests were made for

Walk!
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The fine intoxication of an old-fash-
toned saunter or vigorous tonic stride on
foot is rapidly becoming a poetic fancy
not to be INDUCED in by the city man or
woman unless prescribed by the physician
as last desperate remedy for the me-
grims which waylay the lazy. The bicycle
has fallen into disrepute of late. because
bicycle riding is too close an approach to
walking. The trolley car gives motion
without effort. The microbe of laZiness
develops at a marvellous pace on the
"broomstick train" and laziness begets
appendicitis and many other undesirable
things. One of the latest devices of the
evil one to hasten the legless age is the
automobile. There is no remedy for the
sesquipedalian disease known as automo-
bilousness save plain walking. There are
some Survivals of the walking age among
us who walk a part of the daily duty
despite fiye-cent fares and alluring subur-
ban routes. The hope of the race is in the
rare individuals who go afield. The Ian
