Parker,. Neiehbor. Arnln.t Hin.

Congressman George ]. Smith of the
Twenty-fourth New Iork District. in
which is Judge Parker's home, told
President Roosevelt few days ago
that he had made n tour of the district
and found no Republicans who would
vote for Parker. If the Democratic
candidate gains no votes among his Re
publican neighbors, he certainly should
gain none elsewhere. In other words,
If his popularity is not sufficiently great
ito draw votes from those he daily comes
in contact with, he need not expect to
secure the support of Republicans who
know him only by what he has said and
done.

Mr.. Parker, Democratic nominee for
President. has never journeyed west of
Buffalo, n. Y. What does he know OF

How can he reconcile the demands of

questions properly and for the good of
the whole country? or limited expert

P.rkerite. AI.r med.

There are a large number Of Bryan
Democrats in New York State, and
their present attitude is viewed with
alarm by the Hill-Belmont- Sheehan or
fganization. 1t is said every follower of
w. ]. Bryan will vote the Populist Ma
tional ticket. The Populists have put
State ticket in the field. the first in
many years, and n Bryan Democrat has
been placed at its head. The Parkerites
are charging Bryan with bad faith, as
serting that the detection of the Bryan
Democrats will cost Parker at least 25.-
600 votes.

Rear Guard Action.

Already in the presidential campaign
of this year the Democrats are fighting
'rearSuard action" The Russian
Gen. Kuropatkin has his troubles and
has been fighting rear-guard actions for
some time, but his condition is good as
compared with the condition OF the pres
ent leaders of the Democratic party.
The Democracy is fighting rear
guard action and about the only trou-
BILE the Republicans have in the premises
is that there will not be fun enough in
the campaign. Even the ''renr-guard ac-
ton" appears to be about over.

On the Plains.
Tho sun sinks low.

The sun sinks low.
The golden glow
Falls slanting DER the tawny plain;
gentle breeze
From far OF seas
Blows gently Ger the wagon train;
A mellow beauty softly reiGns-
'Tis sunset on the Western plains.
The twinkling stars,
Through azure bars,
Look down upon the darkeDcd plain:
The coyotes cry
And night winds sigh
Are blended in n long refrain:
A mystic, wild enchantment reigns-
'Tis sunset on the Western plains.
Long rays of light
Dispel the night
AS slanting sunbeams span the plain:
Wild flowers fair
Perfume the air,
While westward wends the wagon trails
The god of day in glory reigns-
'ris sunrise on the Western plains.

Theory of Moons craters.

Everybody who has seen a chart of
the moon as drawn by astronomers
knows of the curious. irregular ragged
rings which have been called moon
craters" for many years.
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really are
the craters of extinct volcanoes, as has
been supposed for so long. One OF
them asks:
"How w1uld the ocean bottoms of
the earth appear to man in the moon

preparing for a lively fall and winter

busy the country is prospering, for they

PARkeR's DEFICIT SCARE.
II Is Enai1y Exploded by an Appeal

ing hard over Judge Parker's speech to
the faithful Democratic editors, Scissored
out some statistics with which to ham
mer the Republican administration. But
while the judge was toilng over his
empty sentences,
Ellis cosltatIvc faculties immersed
In cogibuudity OF cogitation,''
his aptitude for figures went on a vaca-
ton and he prepared, or accepted, some
very queer conclusions, which he gave
to the admiring editors with much pomp
and circumstance.
The trouble is that the Ulster County
politicians deficit is not deficit at
all, when it comes to realities. The Re
publicans dclishtcdly accept the chal
lcnge of the Democratic candidate, for it
gives them chance to show few sta
tistics themselves.
Judge Parker asserts" says Wash
ington dispatch to the Chicago Chron-
icle, that there is now u deficit of S42,
0O0. 1000, instead of a surplus of SS0,OOO.-
600, which Mr.. Roosevelt found on be-
coming President. Both statements are
reckless, as careful cxaminatio of
the records of the treasury will show.
In regard to the deficit, the receipts and
expenditures for the fiscal year ending
June 30. 1904, show nm apparent deficit
of S4O0O0,OOO in round numbers, but
during that time the United States paid
$50 100000 for a Panama canal and ad-
vanced $4,5OOOOO to the Louisiana pur-
chase exposition, which latter amount is
to be returned TO the government. If
Mr. Parker will deduct his apparent def
cit of S42,OO0,000 from the SOL 100000
paid for the purchase of the Panama
canal and the encouragement of an ex-
position of worldwide scope and impor-
tnnce. he would find a balance of $12,-
100000 and upward on the other side of
the ledger"
