whooped up they all came back and
yelled and raised Cain in just the
same way. l asked one of them IL he
was not changing his views pretty
quickly. whats the odds?" he said;
they are both good Democrats"
And they all screamed like devils. l
fancy that much of the shouting was
made without much reference to
what it was for. There was but little
genuine enthusiasm. comparatively
sDeaking, and but few really dra-
matte moments.
At the great hotels, great crowds
were present all day and about all
night. Most Of the men were wan
dering aimlessly about, and every
body seemed to be hunting for some
body; and when they found them
which they seldom did. since Few
people remained in their rooms-they
couldn't remember what they wanted
to see them for. The Parker men
made the least noise. They were as
rule sullen and undemonstrati"e.
The combination by which they won
had already been made by the lead
ers. and they simply held firm and
would not talk. The Hearst workers
appeared to be busy all the time,
and made show of activity, but l
could not see that they did any ef-
fective work, and do not think they
knew how. Mr.. Hearst's managers
here are stupid lot, and did no good
to the cause. l actually believe that
the candidate would have got more
votes if the leaders had not been mere
at all. There was little demonstrate
ing at the hotels, and no bands were
out One little scrub band furnished
the music at the convention, ana
could scarcely be heard. There was
more real fiery politics that two days
in Bangor than st. Louis has seen all
the past week.

Remember This, Girls.

That men say to you many Things
which are devoid of meaning.
That there is a value in combination
of brains and reputation which is above
price.

anger which explodes with loud noise.
There comes to every man time
when even beauty is unattractive.

There are many men quite as good as
the one who thought you were not
good enough for him.
That a mans financial standing Is
not always an evidence Of his capabil-

There are many girls upon whose
word no reliance can be placed.
That the struggling clerk OF this
year may be the merchant prince of
some other year.
There are some episodes in a mans
life he knows how to keep to himself
under all conditions.

In an article in New York banking
journal dealing with the school saw
ings bank system, which has been in
operation only few years, the writer
says that the system is now in opera
ton in 7Sa schools Of 106 cities of rs
states. and the SO.961 scholars of these
7S9 schools have saved $1,367 ,93o.25. Of
which sS6S. 276.02 has been withdrawn,
leaving balance Of $449.65 due lit
tie depositors to Jan. 1, 1904. This
showing certainly speaks well for the
system and amply justifies it's exist
ence. 1t is doubtless true that these
pupils would have deposited in savings
banks a part of this sum, perhaps the
larger part, If the school savings banks
system had never been thought Of; but
it is equally true that a large part of
this total was saved and deposited as
the result Of the system. and it is also
true that the system teaches children
the benefits of early and continuous
saving OF, stray pennies and gives them
an idea of the elementary principles OF
banking.

Mckinley and Parker Compared.

Sometimes an EnglishmSn succeeds
in understanding something about
American politics, but this is rarely
the case. No less a man than the
editor of the London Times. the great
est of English newspapers and by
many regarded as the greatest news

recent political history. by saying that
the personality of Judge Parker is
known with but little more defniteness
than that of President Mckinley when
he first came before the country i'm
1896" This is ID truly English bull.
Every intelligent American knows that
Mr.. Mckinley had been prominent i'm
national politics for 20 years before he
was nominated the first time for
President. For at least 10 years he had
been regarded as of presidential size
and in 1892 there had been a strong
movement for his nomination. As
the author Of the great tariff bill he
had been one of the best-known
American statesmen. since 1890. and
when it came to 1896 no member
of tine Republican party with the pos
sible exception of Speaker Reed, was
better known than Mr.. Mckinley.
He was creative statesman. a
builder of American prosperity. stand
ing for something positive. and the
nomination went to him because of the
popularity won by his work in Con-
gress through many years of faithful
service. Only an English editor could
make the stupid mistake of comparing
Judge Parker to such man as this
Until within two or three years Judge
Parker's name had never been heard
outside of New York. where he was
known only as good jurist. The

The Case Of West Virginia.

Some enthusiastic Democrats are
confidently counting West Virginia as
in the Democratic columns mex
November, as the result OF the nomi-
nation of Henry G. Davis on the ticket
with Judge Parker. They may have
little better basis for their confidence
than that of Chairman Jones oil
Arkansas. when he carries Vermont foi
the Democrats in the June before It's
September election. or that OF Senator
Carmack of Tennessee. when he like
wise wins Democratic victories III
Maine, but nevertheless. little coo'
calculation and reflection will probably
convince these gentlemen. in their own
minds at least, that they are chasing
rainbows. West Virginia has been
safely in the Republican column for
dozen years. In the last two con-
crosses all of it's five representatives
have been Republicans and elected py
good majorities and the Republican
margin in the State in 1900 was over
1900.
Ex-senator Davis is undoubtedly
popular business man in West Virginia
and il the people of that state couiu
vote for him without voting also 1or
Parker and Democratic principles, the
result would be more in doubt. Pos
sibly the Democrats figure that by the
nomination Of Mr.. Davis, his son-lh-
law Senator Elkins, who is the Re-
publican leader in that State, would De
debarred from taking as active part
in the campaign as usuai. Al last
weeks Republican state convention,
Senator EIkins took occasion to dlspel
this idea by warmly declaring his
ALLEGIANCE to Roosevelt and the Re-
publican platform. and by expressing
the determination that the state should
continue to stand for them. Senator
E,Ikins doubtless has more political in
huence in the State than his venerable
father-in-law, who has not been In
Political life for over a score Of years.
Moreover the Republicans have nomi-
mated popular man for governor on
a platform demanding the revision and
reform of the tax laws, and this
combination will help the Republican
national ticket.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Davis. from his
vast wealth, will make big Contribu
lions to the Democratic campaign fund.
but it is not unlikely that he would
have done this in any event. The
more the conservative Democrats con-
slider the situation the more they will
be convinced that the nomination of
an octogenarian from Republican
state was one more blunder in the list
of those committed at ST. Louis.
