The Reason.

What has become of all the democrats
that were in the United States in
1892, especially in the northeast aud
west? | believe our defeat was caused
by putting the party in the hands OF
those very persons who deserted Us IN
1896.190O and money which the re-
publicans used in greater amounts than
ever before. I don't think that it ever
pays TO buy traitors back to the party
by making them leaders, but instead
make therl the hewers of wood and the
drawers of water for good long time be-
fore trusting them again. What say
you?

Smoke in Birminu ham.

The coke ovens of the Alice fur n1ces are smokelessly still, and if President Maben could be induced in time to make his coke at the mines, thus saving money in transportation charges, the smoke problem in this city could easily bc solved It could be solved in favor of the people. Nature never intended the site of this city to be smoky No purer air blows than the air that nature supplied to this locality before it became the site of town.
 There is no hope of abating the smoke nuisance so long as coke ovens belch forth vast volumes of soot and smoke and gases. Assuming that the Sloss- Sheffield ovens can be removed to the mines as fast as they wear out, it then becomes an easy task to bell the chimneys, beginning with those of the power house of the trolley com pany, the managers of which have al ready begun the great work. In Chi cago vast quantities of soft coal are consumed, but the authorities of that city expect to eliminate the smoke nuisance very soon. This is to be accomplished by putting smoke con snmers on all factory chimneys.
 The pure air of this valley will overcome the smoke from dwellings if the smoke-making factories are cut out. as they readily can be. Birming- ham has outlived the need of smoke as a sign of industry. We no longer need an advertisement of that nature We need no longer submit to discon1- fort in order to gain an industrial rep utation.

Hill and Parker.
rom the Nashville Banner.

From the Nashville Banner.
 The story of the St. Louis convention and its dramatic Announcement brought about by Judge Parker's candid dispatch, compels the conclusion that the presi- dential nominee saved the situation when former Senator Hilrs tendency to com promise had placed it in jeopardy. One of the best and strongest results of that dispatch was that it proved Judge Par kers independence of Hill and his superi- ority to Hilis political methods.
 For some time prior to the meeting of the, convention the republican press and some unfriendly democratic papers had been cartooning Judge Parker as MT. Hill's creature. If matters had been al- lowed to rest as the convention had arr ranged them, this charge would have seemed to have some foundation, but that telegram left no doubt in the public mind of Judge Parker's strong individuality It is now evident that he does his own thinking and acts on his own initiative. There was, too, striking significance in the fact that the telegram was sent to MT. Sheehan and not to MT. Hill.

Warm Campaign in Sight.

The republicans have ceased to talk "walk-over" They know there is to be a hotly contested race for the presidency-one doubtful from first to last. and close in any event. They see that the democrats have an ideal candidate, whom MT. Cleveland and Mr Bryan are alike supporting. They see in hard times when thousands and tens of thousands of men are out of employment, solid party behind their opponent This is something they have not been compelled to face since 1892, when MT. Cleveland was elected president.
 They see what is before them,' and they are preparing to meet it. But the democrats will be on hand also and the warmesu contest in a decade vii, be fought out. All the misdeeds and shortcomings and delinqnencies of the administration will be present ed. and if MT German or some skill full leader become the campaign man ager we will see the hottest race in the history of our politics.
 The steady tendency of American citizens is towards fuller votes at presidential elections. MT Bryan boiled million more votes than MT. Cleveland did, and MT. Mckinley more than a million more than Mir Harri- son. An increasing interest is taken in the selection of presidents, and the vote in November will rise to unprece- dented figures-to an aggregate ex- ceeding fifteen millions. out of twenty three millions males at least in round numbers of voting age. The number of voting age in 1890 stood at 21 1,329,- S19.. The ratio of population to males of voting age is 3.6, and if our popu- lation at present be eighty millions, we have twenty-five millions of men of voting age. It is not unreasonable therefore to expect vote of fifteen to sixteen millions in November, or about two millions more than were cast four years ago.

THE CRY OF THE DREAMER

By John Boyle o'Reilly. am tired of planning and toflins
 In the crowded hives of men; Heart-weary of building and spelling,
 And spelling and building again. And I long for the dear old river.
 Where I dreamed my youth away; For a dreamer lives forever,
 And a toiler dies in day. am sick of the showy seeming
 Of a life that is half a lie: Of the faces lined with schemins
 In the throng that hurries by. From the sleepless thoughts endeavor I would go where the children piay' For a dreamer lives forever.
 And a thinker dies in day. I can feel no pride, but pity
 For the burdens the rich endure' There is nothing sweet in the city
 But the patient lives of the poor. Oh. the little hands too skilllui, And the child-mind choked with weeo The daughters heart grown w1llful,

NED BRACE TALKS ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC
 CONVENTION AND THE CANDIDATES NAMED

to put him out on platform declaring for nothing.
 This brought about the Parker telegram which threw the convention into convul- Sions. There was admiration for Parker; abuse. of Hill and sheehan. The south promptly said to the man nominated make your platform-we have done noth- ing to interfere with tive want a demo- cratic president. Then the south put tor- ward that splendid statesman and busi- ness man, Henry c. Davis for vice presi- dent and the convention accepted him al- most unanimously and aeJourneu harino- niously if not enthusiastically. The ma nipulation in making the ticket and plat form is not commended. but the men who comprise the ticket cannot be held for the acts of their alleged friends as Judge Parker demonstrated by quick words.
 The ticket Is a strong one. No man can say ought against it's head. He is strong jurist, an honest, plain man of the people, of courage and determination to do right. In him his opponents can find no vulner- able point.
 Henry G. Davis the vice presidential nominee is s1 years of age. To look at him and talk with him no one would ina zine it. His hair and beard are only iron gray. he is as straight as an Indian. his step Is elastic and no one would

BORE Is PAIRS OF TWINS.
Record of Woman Who Recently Died
 in a Denver Hospital.

From the New York Times.
 One of the most remarkable patients at the County Hospital, to my mind" said Dr. Charles Swindt of the County Hos- pital, to a Denver Republican reporter. ''has just died. She was Mrs. Mary Gill; llspie, woman of S6 years. During her lifetime she was the mother of thirty children, and, what was strangest of all, they consisted of fifteen pairs of twins.
 Mrs. Gillispie came to the hospital if 1901. She had come to the United States in 1s40 from England, where she was born In 1896 she came to Colorado for her health, as she was suffering from tuber- culosis, not seriously, but enough to bring her to this state from Massachusetts, where she had made her home since com.
 ing over from England. 1 imagine that her life had not been happy one. though all through her stay here she steadily re- fused to tell anything of hera past history save the part I have just related.
 When she came to us at S2 years of age, practically all signs of tuberculosis had disappeared, and the woman was suf fering from nothing save old age and gen. eral decreplt condition. In this condition she might have lived on, had she not. about three days before her death, fallen and broken her thigh bone. The utmost that medical skill could do for her was done. but all to no avail Her system was too feeble to stand the shock.
 From the number of her thirty chill dren we have only succeeded in locating one, Mrs. Ella Hildebrand of Sioux City, la, who, upon hearing of her mothers death. wrote us and offered to pay her funeral expenses. This is the first sign of interest any of her children evinced in their mothers welfare"

NATIONAL POLITICS.
Parker. the Leader.

From the Baltimore Herald.
 As the inside history of the doings at St. Louis is being slowly revealed. it is appar- ent that the democratic leaders knew all along that they had a direct and positive man to deal with in Judge Parker. Hilrs statement that he didn't know his candi- dates views on the money question came as a surprise and shock. until people re- fiected that it was Mir Hlll who was talk ing. When Parkers telegram was read those who didn't know the candidate taen discovered what sort of man he was.
 So it will be in the campaign. Parker will be as direct. forceful and positive as he has been all his life. A nomination or sudden elevation in office or fortune does not change men of Parker's caliber, because their strong qualities go down to bedrock His opponent is man of a similar kind.
 In the choice of manager of the cam paign and in dealing with the men experi- enced in politics, and especially in talking to the people, if he will talk. Judge Par ker will go to the point. Some of the leaders may not like his way of doing ti.-ngs They didn't like Cleveland's meth ods but the people did. The democratic party needs a strong man to lead it, and it has chosen one. He has heavy load to carry, but if he gets the right kind of support no man can come nearer to win ming victory for his party than Alton B. Parker.

Dust cn Fifth Avenue.

"The people living along Fifth avenue very much this summer" said resident of that section last night.
 ',rhe public sprinklers never come along our avenue except to replenish their tanks that have been depleted in abating the dust and cooling the atmosphere for res- idents on another street. There is a sta ton at the intersection of Fifth avenue and Twentieth street where sprinklers can be filled, and every afternoon big rumbiing water wagon drives down the avenue to this place. It raises more dust than half dozen ordinary vehicles and never gives up drop of water
 Now this is decidedly tantalizing to the people on the verandas. It is bad enough to bear with the dust from ordinary daily traffic, but when one of the sprink- Ing wagons lumbers along on its dust raising journey to the water station. fills it's tank, and returns without allowing one refreshing drop to fall on our dusty street. it is adding insult to injury.
 If we have to continue to endure the dust. without relief from the city, the burden would be much frightened if we did not see the sprinkers filled and have to breathe their dust each afternoon. Rains would not seem so far apart if we were not tantalized by relief in sight but out of reach"
