ARYAN AND MoNGoLIAN.

The Hartford Times takes note of the fact that the war now raging in the East has already unsettled one of our preconceived ideas. It has done away with the prevalent notion that the white Aryans are superior in war to the brown Mongolians. The Russian Is white man with a slight admixture of the Tartar, for the blood of the great Genghis Khan flows in the veins of some of the Cossacks, who. indeed, seem to furnish the most formidable fighting contingent to the Czar's armies. The Jap is a Mongol with a strain of Malay blood. He seems to be better as a tactician and better as a soldier than the Slav. If the Jap wins 1t will be the first time in history that a brown race has got the better of a white race since Timon the Tar tar conquered India in the fourteenth century. But the Hindustanee was a very degenerate Aryan and the Slav is a vigorous young race. Since that great conquest the brown races have everywhere been driven to the wall and now, if one of the oldest of them arrests the progress of the great Slavic race and assumes the position of lead CT of the East, the general course of

 New York Special to The Times-Defn
 ocrat.
 While it is we'll known to the more intimate friends of Chief Judge Alton President in 1896 and 1900, the dues- tion as to his position on these occa- sions has been again raised by Repre- sentative Huffman, one of the dele ton. In an interview in The World, Representative Huffman said: T will be for Parker if nominated, but the nomination should go to man who was regular in 1896 and 1g00."
 The observation of the Ohio Repre- Democratic leaders, especially in other States, have forgotten Judge Parker s own statement on the subject. When he was nominated for Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals in 1897, Judge Parker was asked to define in formal Bryan campaign of 1896. This he did in the following letter:
 New York, Sept. 20. 1891. Hon. Elliott Danforth. Chairman of
 the State Democratic Committed: My Dear Danforth-It was entire ly right for you to bring to my atten- tion the question which the sincere friends of Mir. Bryan as pressing upon T can say to you frankly and sin I voted for the last national nominees of the Democratic Party, as I havc voted for all the regular Democrats nominees since I had vote.
 Yours very sincerely,
 IL is we'll known to Judge Parker's friends that he also voted for Bryan in 1900.

The New Representation.


 Under the new basis of represen- tation to future Democratic State con- ventions." said a politician, there will be 609 delegates instead of 509 as at present constituted. The resolution adopted by the convention this week instructs the State Executive Commit tee to reapportion the representation to the convention on the census of 1900 with one delegate for each 5000 of population or majority fraction thereof On this basis Jefferson Countys repre- sentation will be increased from thirty to forty-seven, that of Montgomery from nineteen to twenty-four, Dallas from sixteen to eighteen, Mobile from seventeen to twenty-one, Walker from five to eight. Tuscaloosa from ten to twelve. Shelby from seven to eight, BIount from seven to eight, and so on. Thero will be no reductation in the black belt becausetof the elimination of the negro vote. The next State con- yention, therefore, VIII contain sOs delegates"

The Alabama Convention.

The action of the Alabama Demo- cratic Convention on the question gen. erally debated of instructing the St. Louis delegation was a concession to those who asked for instruction, but still was not equivalent to giving in- struction. The Democrats of Ala bama declare for Judge Parker, and believe he should be nominated, but are willing to let the delegates decide what to do when they have measured the conditions as they exist in St. Louis. The Register desired to have the dele gation instructed, since it Is better to clinch the matter at the start-better for its influence upon home Democ- racy and upon the Democracy of other States; but the convention has express cd its judgment, and there is no more to be said.
 There was a good selection of dele gates at large. Colonel Russell, is hardly to be regarded as a local man. He Is known and respected all over the State. Mobile, however, is well pleas ed that he compliment paid him by the convention was so nearly unanimous. Colonel Malloty is likewise a man of sterling quality. General Rhodes Is a good and useful man and we are glad that the design to place a ban upon him because he was a gold Demo- crat had no expression in the conven- tion. The party cannot afford to be proscriptive. Judge Richardson, one of the brightest men in North Ala bama, was the fourth choice. Alto gether it Is a trustworthy quartette and a distinguished one as well. Major Screws's withdrawal from the race was a surprise. even> to his best friends. It is probable that he would have been elected; but he is too fair-minded to provoke contest in Democratic con- vention upon a question personal to himself. For this reason he with drew, and in withdrawing testified to his sincere concern for the welfare of the party.
 It will be observed, as a sign of the change that time has brought, that the platform endorses nothing and demands nothing as far as relates to a national platform-leaving all national uues- tions to the St. Louis convention. That is certainly a great step in the direc- tion of harmony.

SYMPATHY FOR JELKs.
Text of Resolution Adopted by Demo.
 cratic Convention,

The following is the full text of the resolution of sympathy for Governor Jelks introduced by Hon. Hugh Nor row of Jefferson and adopted by ris- ing vote:
 Whereas. the temporary illness of her able, conscientious and courageous Chief Executive. the Hon. William D. Jelks. has caused feeling of profound regret and deepest sympathy to extend throughout Alabama, which he has faithfully. and so efficiently served, and
 Whereas. the reports from New Mexico speak cheeringly of his ad- vance towards health and indicate an early recovery.
 Now, therefore, be 1t resolved, That we, the Democracy of Alabama, in con- vention assembled, do hereby express our earnest sorrow at he event, which, for tho moment. deprives Alabama of his valuable and useful services, and tender our hearty congratulations upon his improvement, expressing the hope that he will soon be with us again."

The Charleston News and Courier, very properly, we think, argues that the greatest danger to the country is not that Roosevelt will be elected in November, but that he will so strength en himself during his four years in of- Dce that he will continue himself in power. It thinks that if he can com pei the party to elect him once he can repeat the operation, as he will make his machine stronger with each term. There is something in this argument for Democrats to think of.

In The Atlanta News of Friday thi paragraph appears:

PdhdeEdph dppetlTSs
 The people of the Southern country were naturally and primarily and hear. tily for Hearst, and are yet, in spite oi the campaign of sander and defama- ton which has pursued him. Left to their own voluntary choice, withou, the vindictive opp<,@ition. the people oi every, Southern state would have de- clared for William N. Hearst.
 It is utterly incomprehensible to find reputable newspaper make such a misstatement as this. The only ground for the efforts of The News to make 1t appear that Alabama Is not for Parker Is the statement given out by some Hearstite and which tried to create the impression that our State Convention was not for Parker because it refused to in- struct for him. There are probably some Hearst men on the delegation, but they will have no more influence towards turning the Alabama vote to would have on a cyclone. Alabama is for Parker as matters now stand. It is not, and will not be, for Hearst at St. Louis under any possible circum- stances.
 The assertion that the Southern peo- pie were naturally and primarily and heartily for Hearst" is a islander on the Southern Democrats. It is a libel on their Democracy, an insult to their honesty and an unwarranted reflection on their intelligence. The great ma Jority of Alabamians are Democrats who would not touch Hearst with a pole. The assertion that all the South ern States would be for Hearst if left to themselves is too silly and too of- fensive for argument

OFFICIAL PAPER OF ROSEBUD COUNTY

cate the election of the entire demo-
cratic ticket, believing it to be made
up of men of matchless character and
integrity; especially its head, Cover
nor Joseph K. Toole, man who has
proven himself to be friend to the
people and the right man in the right
place. AS to county politics-all
things being equal, we shall support
the democratic nominees. Should an
unworthy candidate secure a position
on the ticket we could not concien-
tiously give him our support. In
county affairs, where the editor is in a
position to make himself familiar with
each and every candidates character
and ability, on both tickets, we think
that the interests of the people can
better be served by supporting the
man instead of the party. But we
have no fear of this contingent arising,
having firm belief in the ability of
the democratic electors of this county
to place in nomination only SUCH men
as are thoroughly competent and
morally deserving of recognition.
Hoping and believing that we have the
good will of all fair minded citizens of
Rosebud county, we beg to remain,
Your humble servant,

When a party approves the high

to any spirit of protection and assumes
only for itself the grinding force of

w. Elery Johnson.

The labor condition existing in Col
orado, which has eliminated in the
past year in a seething tumult of riot
and pillage, reveals nothing less than
anarchy on the one hand and despotism
on the other. This is not growth of
| sudden spontaneity, but as it's COM
plexity would indicate, one that has
arisen from long series of events
/ which are more or less familiar to the
people. Fifteen years ago when the
men in the coal mines awoke to the
fact that they were no more than HUI
man slaves, they tried to gain a par
tial relief from this by asking for an
eight hour instead of twelve hour
working day. This was denied. Since
that time disturbances have been more
or less frequent, but in the past year
they have grown to be so great as to
bring Colorado and her mines beneath
the conferred gaze of the whole world.
The direct cause of the present crisis,
however, can be traced to the refusal
of the mine owners to recognize the
right of the ballot. When labor asked
for an eight instead of twelve hour
working day and capital refused, the
question was submitted to vote,
which resulted in victory for labor,
but all to no avail. By means of paid
lawyers the proposed law was declared
unconstitutional. Still the men kept
at work twelve hours day every day
in the week. Again they attempted
relief through the ballot box and again
were they foiled, when by means of a
bribed Legislature, the proposed amend
ment to the constitution, which would
give the miners the relief sought, was
not put into force, and consequently of
no avail. The trouble now began in
earnest, which the state militia, hired
from Governor Peabody by the mine
owners, served only to augment rather
than subdue. Armed with the author
ity of the governor, the state troops
under the command of General Bell,
instead of attempting an unbiased
peaceful settlement of the disturbance,
allied themselves with the interests
of the mine owners. This is situa-
ton that can not help but awaken sim
dignation in him who believes in the
principle of right rather than might;
it can not help but cause a people to
wonder how party could place upon
an act of this kind their seal of APP
prevail by renominating Governor Pea
body, who if not directly responsible
was indirectly Instrumental in placing
the labor situation in Colorado in its

BY referring to the proceedings of
the board of county commissioners at
their last meeting it will be noticed
that a voting precinct was created at
Grow Agency, regardless of the fact
that Judge Loud has ruled that such a
proceeding was illegal. The condi-
tons governing this matter are the
same today as they were when this
opinion was handed down, and it
therefore does not appear to us to be a
thoroughly consistent act on the part
of the commissioners. If the people re-
siding at Crow Agency are entitled to
a vote, they should have it by all
means. But when the law distinctly
says that they are not legally entitled
to d vote, from what source do the COM
missioners derive their power to create
for them voting precinct?
