THE CAMpA1GN HOOK.

The Constitution stands as the first chapter in the Democratic cam paign book. and properly. There has never before been cam paign where there was so wide spread a feeling that the President had acted with reckless disregard of the limitations of that instrument. Wheth- CT the Constitution Is read as present. ed by copy in the campaign hook or not, 1t stands there in its forefront as a sort of challenge to every eye that falls on it. reminding us that the Democratic Party stands emphatically for an orderly government limited by law in the exercise of its powers.
 The Constitution Is followed by a brief account of the proceedings of the convention at St. Louis, the platform is set out and the customary sketches of the lives of the candidates, are given. The notification speeches at Esopus and the White Sulphur Springs, together with the replies to these are of the campaign on the Democratic side are set forth one after the other
 The New York World and The New York American are complimented by the inclusion of editorials from their columns and they make a cogent pres entation of some of the issues The tariff is rightly given the most promi- nent place so far as space is concerned and the information here presented ought to explode once and for all the hypocritical pretension of the Republi . cans that the tariff Is designed to raise and does raise the wages of labor. We have never believed that the bulletin | put out by the Department of Com merce and Labor relative to the de- creased cost of living would affect one | vote in a million, but the Committee has, set forth the facts in this book in way to satisfy every man who pre- fers to read book to consulting his living is costing him.
 The dominant note of all the papers here collected Is that of unaffected sincerity. Roosevelt is denounced, but proof is adduced for every specific charge made against him. The postal and land office frauds are given in a detailed history every line of which is from hhe record or plain and neces- sary differences from the record. The Panama intrigue, followed by a mimic revolution in a puppet state, Is de- scribed frankly and left to make its own revelation of the character of the President. The Philippines and the swarming questions involved in hold ing the archipelago. are handled with dignity and gravity.
 The volume concludes with the speech of Hon. Edward M. Shepard de- livered during the Vermont campaign. This is far and away the best general presentation of the Democratic case so far and unless olney or Carlisle should make one of their supreme efforts, Shepard's speech Is likely to remain at the top of the list.

 The people who really desire to escape from publicity are able to do so. The wish of the Clevelands, when Grover Cleveland was President. that the pie lures of his children should not be pub lished was respected almost every where, and there was an outburst of indignation against one publication which conspicuously disregarded that wish. Pictures of Miss Gould are so rare that not one in a hundred thous- and of her admirers knows what she looks like. No photograph of Charles Frohman, the theatrical manager, has been published for years, and he might walk down the aisle of any of his nu- merous theaters without recognition ex- cent from the theatrical part of the audience. The yulgarity of the display of great wealth In this country comes from the people who have the money quite as much as from the curious mob which likes to read about gems and gowns and yachts and their owners. If we must have a person labeled rich est woman in America" 1t is pleasant to know that she is not of the advcr- Using sort.

Senator Daniel of Virginia, also crit icises Judge Parker for not taking an active part in the campaign, and on that The Norfolk Landmark comments as follows
 In spite of the reported remarks of Senator Daniel, and in spite of other sharp criticisms which were to he ex- pectcd from those who believe in the rough and ready style of campaigning- we are convinced that the Democratic Presidential nominee knows just what he is doing, and that he is doing the very best thing to impress the people of the country with his fitness for the high office sought His campaign pol icy is emphasizing by the powerful light of contrast the undignitied im- petuous, and altogether unsafe charac- teristics of Theodore Roosevelt as a President. Let Parker alone; his judg- ment is better than that of his crit ics. If fuss and fury could win the day, they would have done so before.
 The Landmark is right. Continual ly nagging at Judge Parker for refus- ing to get busy" by those who know not the tenth part as much as he does of what is required, is impertinence.

 In Colonel B. w. Walkers arraign- ment of Congressman J. Thomas Hefiin, and unfolding the President and his administration it seems that he made several misstatements. Some of them have been disputed through your columns. and. being in position to dis pute another I feel 1t my duty to do so, Colonel Walker stated that Roosevelt appointed Crum Collector of the port of Charleston at the suggestion, or by petition of several prominent Demo- crats of that city.

GOOD-BYE. LITTLE TOE.

GOODBYE, LITTLE TOEs
 Physiology teaches that any mem- Der of the body which is no longer needed will disappear. The most fa- miliar Illustration of this change. which is going on around us at this day, Is in the common frog. In its youth the tadpole has tail and cam not exist out of the water. In all It's habits and attributes it Is a true fish. After a while two hinder legs sprout out, to be followed later on by two front ones. As this change goes on the tail gradually disappears. by ab- sorption or otherwise, and the former tad-pole becomes a frog, minus a tail. and is really an air-breathing animal.
 Some archeologists, adopting the theory of evolution, contend that man went through something of the same processes that the tad-pole does. They say that at some remote period men lived in trees, and that then they had tails, just as the monkey tribes have now. As the human development pro- ceeded and human beings became strictly land dwellers the tails not only became useless but were in the way; hence the tail disappeared, and man became an uprightwalking frog
 So, too, they trace the gradual devel- opment of the horse. In the earlier days, thousands or millions of years ago, there existed small animal, suc- cessively called Orohippus, Mesohippus Miohippus and Pliohippus, until final ly the animal developed into the horse of the present. These early creatures. living when there was little but marshy tracts to roam over, possessed four toes. which could be spread out in such way as to prevent the animal from sinking into the soft earth. As time progressed and the surface of the earth hardened the toes were no long, CT needed and they either combined or all but one disappeared, leaving the hoof as we now see 1t. It is claimed that remains of these early specimens have been found, and that they were the ancestors of the horse as we know him. Just why the toes of all other animals have not turned to hoofs is one too many for us.
 To come down to the present, and to our own case, there Is now a theory that man is moving on as the horse did. When human beings went al- ways barefoot the toes were longer and were capable of spreading out much more than at present, The con- stant habit of wearing tight shoes congresses the toes-bunches them, as it were, and they are practically use- less. According to Sir John Murray not only will the little toe be first to disappear but the process is actually going on, and in the course of few centuries that portion of our anatomy will no longer exist to cause us pain and discomfort, breed corns and oth- erwise be a nuisance. The disappear ance will be gradual but whether it will be absorbed or gradually worn out we are not prepared to say. The im- portant point is that the scientists have doomed the little toe, and probably the others will follow in the same way Thus in a few thousand years the hu- man foot will be as guiltless of toes as the body is of tail, but we have the consolation of knowing that none of the present generation will see the re- suit.

More acreage will be planted in
cotton the coming season than ever
in the history Of the world. The
inc. eased acreage. OF course. means
an increased yield. and the effect
OF a larger crop will naturally be
to bring the price of the staple
down. Again. il the acreage in
cotton be increased. that devoted
to the raising of food stuffs will be
correspondingly decreased, and
the price of these products. in obe-
dience to the law of supply and
demand, will be raised. Thus it
would seem that the cotton grower
who neglects to raise enough corn,
hay. ETC., to do him, expecting to
buy these things with tho money
his cotton brings. is in danger Of
being slashed both ways. The
safe thing to do is to grow enough
feed. stuffs to supply your own
needs and push the balance of your
farm in the production Of cotton.
