"The blood is the life." Science
has never gone beyond that simple
statement Of scripture. But 1t has
Illuminated that statement and given
it meaning ever broadening with
the increasing breadth Of knowledge.
When the blood is "bad" or impure
it is not alone the body which suffers
through disease. The brain is also
clouded, the mind and judgement are
affected, and many an evil deed or
impure thought may be directly
traced to the impurity Of the blood.
No one can be we'll balanced 10 mind
and body whose blood is impure. No
one can have wholesome and pure
life unless the blood is pure. Foul

muncation with Judge Parker.
Parker was then demanding gold
standard procurement. Turning
to an old newspaper friend, Senator
Hill remarked: "The great trouble
| with so many of our people is that
they do not know anything about
their country. They are the Great
ures of environment and think they
are gauging public sentiment when
they partially ascertain the wishes
of the dominant element in the sec
ton where they live"
OF THE MORGAN OR BAER STRIPE
At that very minute Ex-Governor
Sheehan was receiving the message
from Parkdr which precipitated the
panic of yesterday afternoon. 1t
meant that Parker had turned his
back on the man who had accom-
plished the herculean task of bring
ing to support united party in the
South and West without incorpora
ting in the Democratic platform
suggestion that could possibly prove
offensive to Parker, to Cleveland or
other Eastern Democrats unless he
be of the stripe of Pierpont Nor
gan or President Baer of the coal
carrying railroads.
Hill knew and the Democratic
leaders of the South expected tina,
Judge Parker would declare himself
for gold when he made his speech
to the notification committee. Even
Bryan had become reconciled to
this possibility. But Parker did
the unexpected and men who serv-
ed him the most Loyalty are the bit
terest in his denunciation,
It was easy enough for Hamlin of
Massachusetts to extol the moral
courage of a leader who preferred
political placement to cowardly
surrender of principle, for Hamlln
cared not at all for the disruption
OF the Democratic party. He was
instructed for Olney, but Cleve
land was his choice. But the men
like Hill aud Bailey and Williams
and Daniel, who had spent sleep
less nights in the most eXacting
toll in Parker's behalf, while Parker
reveled in the luxury of yachts and
porcelain tubs, are men who have
been slapped in his face.
NOTHING FOR THE WEST.
The South has the negro bugaboo
to keep it in line. But there is
nothing left for the Central West
and the West will be abandonedby
the Democratic committee to its
fate. Illinois is hopelessly Re
publican, because of Democratic
dissensions. 1t is inconceivable
that Indiana, which contains a
strong Populist Democratic element
can be carried for Parker.
The Democratic leaders of Miss

ouri are plunged in gloom. Their
only hope lies in the popularity of
Joseph w. Folk. Mr.. Folk is
counted upon to save the state
ticket. But the great body OF
Missouri's voters will regard Roose
welt as freer from Wall street dicta
ton than Parker has shown HIM
self to be.
Intelligent voters Of the nation
over recognize that Parker spoke
the truth when he said that the
gold standard had been irrevocably
established. But why did he re
main silent before he was nominal
ed only to speak when refusal to
follow meant the Acknowledgement
of the party organization and a
condition of absolute chaos?
PARKER S SOLE CHANCE.
Under the conditions imposed by
the Democratic revolution the
Parker managers must depend ex'
clusiyely upon states of the East
and South with West Virginia and
Wisconsin. Perhaps Judge Parker
had studied the figures in advance.
His sole chance of election appears
to depend upon his carrying New
York, Delaware, Connecticut, New
Jersey, West Virginia and Wiscon-
sin. Including Missouri, which
ought to go to the doubtful col
umn; Kentucky, which has an in
tense Populist element, and Mary
land, the solid south has $50 votes
under the new apportionment.
The possible Parker victory can
be figured out this way:
Solid south ........ 159IConnecticut ..... ...:1
New York ....... 80 New Jersey ..........l2
Delaware. Wisconsin. .13
Total. .......... .....'.......... '|4'
Necessary to choice, 239,
LITTLE HOPE IN WISCONSIN.
Even the fight between the Re
publican factions in Wisconsin, il
continued until November, will not
give the Democrats better than
fighting chance. Should there be a
compromise on the electoral ticket
or should the stalwartS withdraw al
any time the state will be for Roose
welt by an overwhelming majority.
McKinley's minority in New Jer
sey in 1900 was $1,000. West
Virginia gave Mckinley plurality
of 81, 900. Ex-senator Davis has
the money to buy the state. 1t has
been debauched in two previous
presidential campaigns and in politi-
cal circles is regarded as the corrupt
est state in the Uuion, except Mon
tana,
If he carries all of these states,
Judge Parker will have one major
ity in the electoral college but hi
decreased the number of doubtful
states in the West and Central West
and made of them certain Republi
can and made doubtful certain
states which were one week age
confidently counted by the Demo
cratic leaders. He has made i
possible to get tremendous cam
paign fund and he has paved the
way for revival of Populism. l.

Dental posi- bility and practically
eliminated as potential politica'
factor by the man whom he served
with such fidelity, it ought at least
be possible to discuss Hill with
fairness and give credit where credit
is due.
In the history of conventions of
this generation no campaign man
ager has ever displayed such re.
source and strategy as Hill showed
from the very beginning of the ST.
Louis convention preliminaries.
His manipulation of Parker's cam
paign provoked even the admiration
of his enemies. He came to the
convention to nominate Parker and
eliminate Bryan. But he wanted
to accomplish it without furnishing
a pretext for a bolt, either on the
part of Mr.. Bryan or his followers.
Not a delegate from the South or
West believed it would be possible
to frame a Democratic platform
which could be signed by every
member of the committee, and yet
Hill accomplished that result, and
presented a platform, too, which
did not have line in it offensive to
the supporters of Mr.. Bryan.
HILL HAD THE DIPLOMACY.
The situation called for the great
est diplomacy as well as voting
strength. Hill held his own radical
following in the line and at the
same time prevented the conserva-
tives from deserving him. On
Saturday he stood at keyboard Of
the Western Union telegraph Office

standard and if elected he would
proceed on this theory as chief exc
cutive of the nation. The story
which tells of this sudden determi-
nation to break silence that had
become painful introduces no hero
whose splendid display of moral
courage will appeal to the masses.
These are the facts:
The New York newspapers be-
cause of the difference in time did
not carry the announcement Friday
morning that a gold standard declar-
alton had been defeated by the full
resolutions committee, On the
contrary they announced that the
gold standard had been accepted
by the subcommittee and would be-
come part of the platform. But
the subcommittee action was
repudiated by the full committee.
NO VICTORY FOR BRYAN.
BRYAN was one of a half dozen
who made the fight against a gold
standard declaration, but it was
not Bryan who won the victory,
Bailey of Texas and John Sharp
Williams of Mississippi, both loyal
supporters of Judge Parker, turned
the tide from gold. Bryan was
given all the Eastern press for hav-
ing forced concessions from David
A. Hill. 1t was necessary to thus
exploit Bryan in order that the err
roneous announcements of the pre-
vious morning might be explained.
The New York papers which sup
ported Parker Numbered in their
editorials of Yesterday morning
They proclaimed in bold type that
Hill had lost New York and the East
for Parker. The New York Times ap
pealed to Parker to do something
which would save the day. The
New York Herald and the New
York World and the New York Sun
hurled anathema, screaming in Their
frenzy that a cowardly evasion OF
the money platform had been en-
gineered by political trimmer.
For months Parker had been APP
pealed to for some statement that
would reveal his attitude on public
questions to the country. He re-
NAMED silent, but, confronted by
the unanimous appeal of the press
of New York, he yielded to the
local pressure. He was told that
he would lose New York if the con-
vention's mistake was not rectified.
Without New York his election was
hopeless.
BETRAYED THE SOUTH AND HUMILI
ATED HILL.
To satisfy this clamor and to
strengthen himself in the East,
Parker betrayed the South and
Inundated David B. Hill, who had
made his nomination possible.
Western Democrats can never
be expected to become enthusiastic
over David B. Hill. They regard
him as a trimmer and opp ortunist.
But he is more pathetic figure to
day in American politics than Will
lam J. Bryan. No longer presi

PEOPLE KILLED, INJURED
OR RENDERED HOMELESS
Series Of Fires in New York Were of More Than
Ordinary Seriousness.

New York. Nov. 1O.-Three persons
lost their lives, twenty were injured,
nearly half a hundred were overcome
by smoke and an equal number are
temporarily homeless. as a result of a
series Of fires in various parts of the
greater getty to-day.
In nearly every case the fires were in
tenement houses occupied by a large
number of families. and at least two
of them are thought to have been
started by incendlaries.
That no more lives were lost UNI
doubtedly was due to the fact that the
flames were discovered in every in
stance before they had made great
Roadway, and the excellent use made
of the llfe-saving appliances by the
firemen. Life nets, scaling ladders and
other apparatus enabled the hremen
to save many persons, whose escape
had been cut off by flames and choking
smoke.
Nearly all the fires started i'm the
lower parts of the buildings, and al

though in no case did the money loss
exceed a few thousand dollars, the
dense clouds of smoke which swept up
through halls and elevator shafts
drove the panic-stricken tenants to
roofs and fire escapes. Many were
overcome before reaching the outer air,
but with the exception of three all
were found by firemen and carried out
in safety.
A false alarm of fire also contributed
to the days list of injured Workmen
on the roof of the American Cigar
Company's factory, alarmed by clouds
of spoke which came from an over
turned tar kettle in the street, rushed
into the factory where scores OF glrls
we're at work, and with cry of "fire,"
started "a panic in which twelve Of then,
were injured. One was so badly hurt
that she was taken to a hospital.
The most serious fire Of the day was
that i'm an upper eastside apartment
house. in which three lives were lost,
several persons were injured and many
thrilling rescues were made. Forty
five families were driven from a big
tenement house on Boston road in tho
Bronx, and twenty persons who had

been overcome by smoke were rescued
by firemen.
Ten families were forced to flee from
a Brooklyn apartment house by an in
cendiary fire which started in the base
ment. Several persons were overcome
by smoke and We're found unconscious
and rescued by tiremen.
An explosion in the basement of a
tenement house in Williamsburg Gre
ated a panic among the tenants, and
the burst of flames and smoke which
followed sent them to roofs and fire
escapes in search of safety. Many
were overcome by smoke. but all were
rescued.

Standard.
Atlanta, Nov. 10.-The military spirit
seems to have become rampant in
Georgia. More than a dozen small
towns have made applications within
the last month or six weeks to the
Governor and Adjutant General for the
admission of companies into the state
service, some of the more recent ones
being Calhoun, High Shoals, Flowery
Branch and Cornelia, all in the north
ern part of the state, where there has
never been much fear Of race trou-
bles.
But there are only about three va
cancies, so there is not room enough
for all applicants.
Following close upon the admission
of new company of infantry at Moul-
trie, Gov. Terrell to-day authorized the
Adjutant General to take steps to mus
ter in a. new company at Cordele, Dooly
county. 1t has not yet been decided
whether the Cordele company will be
attached to the Second or the Fourth
Infantry regiment.
Atlanta and Savannah Have Too
Many.
There is a general opinion among the
military officials of the state that the
militia companies are now too much
congested, particularly in the two
large cities, Atlanta and Savannah.
1t is claimed that the result of this
concentration of companies is the en-
listment of much undesirable material
in the effort to keep the enlisted
strength of the numerous city COM
panies up to maximum. On the 9th
er hand, in the smaller towns. 1t is
said, where only one company is To-
Gated, the best class of young men is
enlisted.
Along this line a well-known military

regiment being composed of companies
from Atlanta and Savannah, while not
one word of criticism was passed upon
the First Provisional Regiment, which
was composed of companies from the
smaller towns of the state.
They Must Toe the Mark.
While nothing has been said about
the policy to be pursued in the mat
ter, the indications are that efforts will
be made to cut down the number of
companies of infantry both in Atlanta
and Savannah, and to distribute the
infantry companies more generally
over the state. AS long, however. as
the present commands come up to the
required standard of efficiency there is
no apparent way by which this can be
done. 1t is. evident, however, that 1t
will be we'll for the companies in these
cities to toe the mark, if they desire
to maintain their organization.
The manifest desire on the part of
many sections of the state to secure
military companies is not due, it is
stated, to any fear of race troubles,
for many of the applications come from
sections where few but white people
reside, and nearly all of them from
counties where trouble of this kind
has never been known. 1t is believed
to be due, therefore, purely to a mill
tary spirit.

REPORT ON HEAVY ARMS.
Recommendations Made by the
Ordnance Board.


Washington, Nov. 10.-The annual
report Of the board of ordnance and
fertilization. headed by Maj. Gen.
Gillespie, shows that an unusual
amount of experimental work has been
performed by the board during the past
year and many devices of novel de-
sign have been tested. Only seven
Pinch guns out of the total OF 100 guns
contracted for in 1891, remain to be
completed, and the last of these will
be made by Aug. of next year.
The board renews Its recommended
tons of last year for the immediate
procurement of medium calibre rapid
fire guns for coast defense. The board
also wants reserve supply of am
munition, as, without a sufficinet sup
ply of ammunition. the coast defense
armament is useless.
An abundant supply of ammunition
for target practice also is requested
and other measures are recommended
looking to the instaiment of range
finders, searchlights, telephone lines
and other necessities of a modern coast
defense system. l
