EDITORIAL OPINION
parker's Man on Bryan and Hearst.

Parker wan on bryan anu EioofoE
From the Chicago Chronicle Dem)
Mr.. Meyer. the new chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Committee Of
New York. appears to be a Democrat
without Populistic or Soclalistic limi-
tations "The Democrats have n
chance Of success this year" he said
in the course Of "a recent interview. III
they go about it in the right way. To
win they must completely suppress
Bryan and Hearst at the ST. Louis con-
vention drive them out Of the conven-
tion and show beyond doubt that the
party has broken loose from Populism."
We have heard good deal OF COM
plaint from various quarters because
Judge Parker has deemed it wise to say
nothing on the general political situ-
alton, but as Mr.. Meyer Is understood
to be his personal choice for the i'm
portant position TO which he has been
elected it is evident that when he does
begin to talk he win say things that
win be highly edfylng.

CITY AND COUNTRY.

In nearly every city there are more
people who want work than there are
places for them. An advertisement
calling for clerk, bookKeeper or "a
stenographer viii bring dozens OF ap-
plcants. In most of the country dis
tricts this condition is reversed. Al
ready the farmers are beginning TO call
for more help but they viii call In
vain.
The nature OF farming In many Sec
tions has undergone "A change in the
last decade or two. The growing OF
small fruits and trucks requires more
labor. The large farms Of the olden
days have been halved and quartered,
and ono acre viii now frequently pro-
dueo -feHr fold what IL would twenty
five years ago. In addition TO this
thousands of acres Of woodlands and of
abandoned fields are now under culti-
vation.
Consequently the farms require more
labor but they cannot hold what by
right is theirs. The towns attract. Life
in the city offers greater field foi

ership and whose luck is not altogether
lperverse. There are amusements, goo,
and bad. There the people wear goo,
clothes and keep their wits keen Will

stant contact with the world.
Therefore the city has too many an,
the country too few. As conse
quence it is coming to be recognize,
that there are greater rewards in th'
country for the man Of enterprise ant

have only to point to the fact that IN,
rural banks have heavy deposits an,
that it is farmers money.
Perhaps after awhile this condition
will turn the tide away from the citie
again and give another impetus 4

little that it is almost not worth consid-

FARM PRODUCTS UP.

Sometime since we printed news
story to the effect that the price os
living in this city had advanced. There
was nothing remarkable In the story,
save that the Bureau OF Labor after
wards published a statement to the
effect that prices Of living generally
have advanced.
Certain Of our contemporaries, how
ever, have hailed our story as dan
gerous admission from Republican
standpoint. But we wish to point out
that II people pay more for their ne
'cessities. somebody gets more for pro-
ducts, and as "a matter Of fact just
this condition prevails. The farmers
are the benehciaries. They are not
getting too much. and middlemen are
taking a large share OF the profits. as
usual; but they are selling their pro-
ducts at prices that average higher
than for years past
Wheat is quoted IN Philadelphia

And he deserves it. for during a lonl

FREDERICK DOUGLAS.

I asst week. February 18th. suppos-
edly 81 years ago, Frederick Doug
las was born in Tuckahoe, Maryland.
1t Is needless to say born in the in
famous jaws of human slavery and in
the most abject poverty. the most
lowly and despised of the human .1m-
lily, yet this little boy grew to man
hood, self-emancipated, self.educated
he raised himself to true and noble
manhood, and his very heart ached at
the treatment and atrocities perpe-
trated upon our race. He entered on
his great life work of emancipating
his race, he published the first news
paper owned by colored people, he
lectured and wrote articles concerning
the south and for fear of his life
was compelled to go to England and
lecture for the freedom of his race.
He came back and seen his race free,
He then had the great task of recon
struction, and seeing that their rights
was not trespassed upon as citizen
he held many political offices appoint
ed by the president and stumped dur
ing many campaigns for the G. O. P.
He was a journalist, statesman, an
orator and diplomat of the highest
rank. He was truly one Of Americas
great men. Let US ever remember,
love and revere his memory.

JUROR SUES FOR DAMAGES.

w. H. Humburd, the colored Juror
who was last term refused a meal at
the Crawford boarding house, when
taken ther by Bailiff Morris with the
other members Of jury, has brought
suit against Edward Crawford, Mrs.
Crawford and Leila Hunter, asking
$1,50O damages.
The petition states that Humburd
was taken in company with the eleven
other members of the jury in charge
OF Bailiff Morris to the boarding
house of the defendant, while acting
as juror in the case of Cutler VS..
Wheelock. Upon his arrival there, the
petition says, the defendants drew the
color line, refused him meal, and in
sisted upon his going elsewhere. He
alleges that the action of the defend
ants was malicious, illegal and in vic.
lation Of his rights as a citizen, and
that upon account of the act he was
Inundated; and held up to public
scorn. His mental suffering, he says.
was great, and" he asks the court to
award him $1.500 for the injury.
The case OF Cutler vs.. Wheelock, It
will be remembered, will have to be
tried over again on account of the
seDaration' of the f,rv. caused bv the
refusal Of the Crawfords to permit
Humburd to take bis dinner at thoir,
house with the rest of the jury. The
incident happened after the jury had
the case and Judge McVey set aside
the verdict rendered on the ground
that the members had not been kept
together as required by law.
