jected them to the severest criticism
Such a fact in his record is not CAL
culated to strengthen Judge Parker's
candidacy for the presidency, and
Tammany, which is bitterly opposed to
his nomination, takes the position that
it is better to have these facts known
before the nomination is made than
to have to meet them after he becomes
a candidate.
This exposure of Judge Parker's ac-
ton in the Kingston bank matter
leaves no room for doubt that Tam
many is resolved upon his defeat for
the nomination, and is ready to place
itself In such an attitude with respect
to him that it cannot be depended
upon to support him even If he is
nominated. Tammany was defeated
in the New York state convention, but
Tanmany is in a position to defeat
Judge Parker in the national conven-
ton, and indications now are that
that will be done. The democracy
must carry New York if it would have
any possible show Of success. It can
not carry New York without Tam
many.

What are we to do-go out and beat the

schools for the education Of the public in
the love OF poetry? Already the press,
the literary press, has been advertising
and begging editorially for the great poet
hides. So what are we to Go? This ques-
| ton is suggested by J. M. Bulloch's ques-
ton in The Lamp for May-"Has England
ceased to sing?" Mr.. Bulloch seems to
think the great poet is wanting, and he
| tells Alfred Austin so-Alfred Austin, the
poet laureate of England, for it was he
| who recently complained of a growing dis
like for the higher kinds of poetry. Mr.
Bullock says the trouble is not the dis
! like for the higher kinds Of poetry, but
that it is want Of the poetry that is
| to blame for the apparent general indif-
ference to poetry. Mr.. Austin would find
| some way to stir the people up to the
| reading Of verses, to Undue them with a
love Of the true, the good and the beauti-
full in literature. Mr.. Bulloch would find
a great singer. Between the two wants,
| it would seem that we are in a pretty
bad way, so far as getting a chance to
hear the voice Of the age in verse goes,
for we have no versifying voice worth
giving serious attention to, if complaints
may be believed, and we would not listen
to 1t If we had, If Mr.. Austin's opinion
may be accepted as truth. This is, of
course, leaving out of consideration the
poets and the poetry of days past. For

A Hard Knock for Parker.

The Tammany Times, which car
ries on its editorial page the seal of
the Tammany society, the names Of
the sachems and officers, and is sup
posed to be the organ Of the Tam
many society Of New York, devotes
several pages in the last issue to a
review of the action Of Judge Parker
in connection with the wrecked bank
Of Kensngton, N. Y. The bank was
known as the Ulster County Savings
bank, and was robbed by two Of its
completely wrecked.
Two charges are made. One that
the trustees, Of whom Judge Parker
was ones used the money Of the bank
for the purpose Of influencing political
action. It Is not charged that they
bought votes outright, but that the
people who voted right were granted
special favors in the matter of loans.
This charge was made by the New
York World on Oct. 7, 1891, and while
a demand for retraction was made, no
retraction was ever conceded.
The other, and much more serious
charge, Is that Judge Parker and an
after q run on that institution had
drawn out a large sum of money,
signed a statement and published it
to the effect that the bank was per-
fectly solvent, and advising deposit
ors to return their money The de-
positors were largely working people
and others Of very modest means,
whose entire savings were represented
by these deposits. A few days after
this statement was published by Judge
Parker, and after the money had been
returned by the depositors on the as
surance by Judge Parker that every
thing was all right In the bank, the
institution closed its doors.
The suffering on account Of this
failure was severe, and the action of
the trustees in inviting the depositors
who had once withdrawn their money
to return it, was condemned in I'M
measured terms by various New York
papers at the time. The New York
Herald said 1.-The most astounding
aspect of the Ulster County Savings
bank robbery is the criminal negli-
gence to be charged to the trustees
1t appeared upon investigation. after
the bank had closed, that the cashier
had been living beyond his means for
some time, a fact which the trus-
tees could hardly have failed to know,
and that the institution had been in
solvent for a long time prior to the
assurance Of solvency furnished by
the trustees. The. trustees are not
directly charged with having profited
by the failure Of the bank, but their
faithlessness to their trust when it was
their business to know the condition
Of the bank before furnishing any

A Weak Spot.

T h e J ourn a = s dispatches from
Washington indicate that the demo-
Gratis, or, at least, the officers Of the
democratic. congressional committee,
are disposed to make a special effort
to carry the next house, on the theory
that they stand better chance to get
control of the house Of representatives
than Of the presidency. A change Of
fifteen seats would do it. Ordinarily,
on presidential year, the successful
presidential ticket helps to carry
doubtful congressional districts with
it, but the democrats have picked out
about forty close districts, chiefly in
the eastern states. out Of which they
hope to gain enough seats to overcome
what they may lose on account Of this
being a presidential year, and the
necessary fifteen besides.
OF course control Of the house with
out the presidency or the senate would
be Of negative rather than positive
value to the democracy, but they
would at least be in a position to de-
feat the accomplishment Of any strict
ly partizan policies by the republicans.
1t seems to us that the democratic
hope is forlorn, but that it exists is
fort which is to be made to defeat
Babcock Of Wisconsin and Overstreet
Of Indiana, the chairman and secre-
tary respectively Of the republican
congressional committee. OF this pur-
pose these gentlemen have received
warning and they are preparing for
a hot fight. In anticipation of it Mr..
Babcock has requested help from Mr..
Bede.
There is at least enough in this re-
port to Justify special solicitude on the
part Of the republicans with respect
to every district where, for one rea-
son or another, the situation is not
promising for the republicans. Such
district Is our own, the Fifth Mime
sofa. AS the situation stands now it
cannot be said that the prospect for
republican success is encouraging
is republican. But ordinary conditions
DO not prevail. With a possible neces-
sity to guard every point in the repub-
lican line the situation here becomes
a matter of concern not only or chief
ly to the people of this district. but to
the republican party as whole. With
an acceptable candidate on the re-
publican side Minneapolis will helr
to defeat the democratic scheme fol-
control Of the house; without such q
candidate republican Minneapolis may
contribute to its success.
The situation here is, therefore, a
matter of considerably more than local
interest and Importance, and the re-
publicans Of the country have a right
to demand that it be relieved as far
as possible of It's present aspect OF
doubt and danger.
