THE SECRET OUT.

At the time that Alton B. Patrker sent that famous gold telegram on which he is running for office it was openly intimated that it was not his
 voluntary act and that others besides
 himself knew of the sending thereof
 before it was sent. It was so unlike the man who had maintained such a
 stolid silence from the time he was
 first nominated urtii the meeting of
 the convention. Besides the circum-
 stances were such as to fully justify
 such doubt. Parker had a copy of
 the platform as adopted on the even
 ing of Friday, July 9, and must have read it and known that it was silent on the question of a financial plank and yet it was not until Saturday afternoon, July s that he sent his tel egram, or nearly twenty four hours after he had learned of the missing plank. The secret concerning it is now out. A telegram from Newark, New Jersey, says that through the medium of interviews and announce meDts by his personal organ there, ex- United States Senator James Smith, Jr., is insisting that Judge Parker's sound money dispatch to William F. Sheehan was not as spontaneoussa con- tribution to the literature of the cam paign as the Judges friends believe. Ex-Senator Smith intimates that the, credit of having forced that sensation al deliverance from Esopus belongs to the New Jersey delegation to the national convention.
 The ex-Senator' version of the mat ter is that the New Jersey delegates were much discouraged by the failure of the platform to make reference to the money question and that upon hearing that the plank was to be omitted, some of the JeIseymen pro- tested that the East would be inevi- tably lost to the party. The ex-sena- tor was urgent in demanding that the error be corrected before it was too late, and when he saw the Parker man. agers disposed to pay no heed to them he notified ex-senator Hill and Shee- han that he would open the question on the floor of the convention, even, he says, going to the length of pre- senting speech upon the subject.
 Hill and Sheehan, he says, put themselves in communication with Judge Parker, and the Judges pro- was the outcome.

CAMPAIGN CHAFF.

President Roosevelt has been in office now for nearly three years and has not involved the country in war. and as far as known has not stolen anything and yet we hear democrats make silly talk about his being spectacular, " "impetuous, :" "head- strong" and "unsafe. In his ad- dress during the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the republican party, at Jackson, Michigan, Secre- tary Hay in speaking of the president gave abundant answer to this nonsen- sical political campaign chaff in the following language:
 "Ask the opponents of the party : Has the president been a good citizen, good soldier, good man in all personal relations? Is he a man of in- telligence, of education? Does he know this country well? Does he know the world outside? Has he studied law, history and politics? Has he had great chances to learn, and has he improved them? Is he sound and strong in mind, body and soul? Is he accessible and friendly to all sorts and conditions of men? Has he the courage and the candor, and the God given ability to speak to the people and tell them what be thinks? To all these questions they will answer, yes. Then what is your objec- tion to him? They will either stand speechless or they will answe- with the parrot cry which we have heard so often: He is unsafe
 "In a certain sense we shall have to admit this to be true. To every grade of lawbreaker, high or low; to man who would rob till or a ballot box; to the sneak or the bully; to the hypocrite and the humbuG, Theodore Roosevelt is more than un safe; be is positively danerous. ["

the democratic convention Tn St. Louis last week prepared to take my medicine, for 1 am an humble man, and would not set myself up as being of superior judgment to the leaders of my party. 1 said to myself: '"There may be things in the platform that don't seem exactly right to me. and the list of available candidates doesn't look promising, but who am that should presume to balk wheu my leaders show me the way? Let 'em give me platform, and l will support it; let lem name candidate and will vote for him!"
 But, behold, what do I see? The convention adopted a platform and named candidate, but To! the can didate refuses to stand on the plat form, and the platform refuses to get under the leader. Neither do any of the leaders endorse the platform, nor the candidate, nor yet one another. And the frank and file' refuse to ac- cept either. Nobody is standing on the platform, and the presidential nominee is running OF a gold stand ard telegram, while the party is com mitted to free silver.
 What am 1 to do? If 1 vote for Parker 1 will be condemning the party, and if 1 support the platform, To! there is no candidate on it What is the platform for, anyway?
 Is Parker a democrat?ss Then what is Bryan, who disagrees with Parker? And what is Cleveland, who disagrees with both Parker and Bryan?, And what is Hill who agrees with all three? Behold, it is a puzzle, and a weariness of the flesh. Find the dem ocrat!
 What manner of men are tn ese that build platform and then desert it? What kind of a candidate is it that accepts a free silver democratic nomi- nation, and then runs on a gold bug telegram that he wrote himself? The thing is a h-l of a thing!
 And again, what am 1 to do in the state contest? If Joe Folk is nomi- mated for governor on an anti poodle platform; and if Cook and Allen be- long to the "boodle gang" yet are named on the ticket with Folk; and if Folk accepts them as running mates then Folk will be indorsing the poodle gang and the poodle gang will be in- dieting itself in the platform, and a democrat that votes for them is say ing that they are all right-all of 'em and indorsing Folk for lnGorsing the poodle gang. Then there will be none to stand on the antiboodle plat form.
 Can't the democratic platforms and candidates get together? It sems to me that a candidate should stand on the platform of his party, but may be wrong. I reckon I am in a hope less fix!

If the growth and prosperity of America continues but fer one short generation more, nothing can hinder its becoming the controlling power of the earth. Capt. A. T. Mann, the authority on naval affairs, in recent speech in London gave voice to the sentiment that all English speaking people should be so far united as to act together. With federal British empire, and a United States of Amercia, both pulling in the same direction, the peace of the world oculd be esasily maintained. And ultimately one flag will symbolize the Anglo-Saxon race.

Democrats are making great esti- mates of how Parker can be elected, with the aid of the electoral vote of certain states, and various com bina- tions are being evolved as to how it can be accomplished. The figures, as grouped, look very pretty but the serious problem which confronts democracy is to get these electoral votes in the democratic column. They will never do it.

ABOUT RECORDERS FEES.

P. J. Farley has instituted suit against Yavapai county to recover about S1, 200 in fees taken in as county recorder, and paid over to the treasurer under protest. It is the con- tention of Recorder Farley, as well as of the recorders generally throuhgout the territory, that the only fees due the county is for filing and recording instruments. There is a considerable amount of fees taken in by the re- corders for making abstract of titles, certifying to documents and work of similar kind, which it is claimed by the officials. that they are entitled to in addition to their salaries.
 Recorder McFall, of Maricopa county appropriated these. fees to his own use and a citien's committee got after him and forced him toiturn back into the county treasury about S4, 000 It is understood however, that MT. McFall will institute legal proceed ings in the court to recover this amount, together with all additional fees which he may hereafter take in and turn over to the treasury. It is expected that the sum will aggregate over 8, GOO when, if necessary, the case can be carried to the supreme court ot the United States and decided by that tribunal.
 In Yuma county the recorder in stituted similar action and obtained a decision in favor of the recorders.
 The Sl,2OO embraced in the action of Recorder Farley includes the fees of the above character, received from October l, 1901, to January l, 1904, or a period Of two years and three months.
 Since January l, 1094, Mir. Farley has retained these fees ppending de- cision of the court as to whether the county or the recorder is entitled to them. If the decision is in favor of the county he stands ready to turn them all into the treasury. If it is in favor of the recorder, he is equally ready to disburse them for his own benefit.
 The law ia reference to recorders fees has long been a subject of dis pute and the first duty of the legis- allure, when it next convenes, should be to so amend it that there could be no possibility of a quibble as to its meaning. It should be amended so that the duties of recorders should be plainly and fully defined, a proper adjustment of salaries in the various counties should be made, and all fees taken in from whatever source, or whatsoever purpose shuold be paid into the county treasury and the sal ary paid should be in full for all services of the recorder.
 It should be made in language so plain that there could not be doubt as to its meaning. The principle of putting an official on salary and then to have loop hole whereby he can appropriate certain fees of his office to his own use is radically wrong. In the present controversy though with the county recorders, the law and not the officers, are to blame. The average individual when elected to office will naturally seek to get from the position all the law allows him. It is no act of dishonesty 10 do this. but the law governing these officials as we'll as some others should be amended.

the left nor right, pausing neither to
see If his rival was senseless or in full
pursuit, sped fast-and ever faster
to the dormitory. Locking the door
and lighting his candle, he wrote mad
ly, as one driven by hunger to reach
goal ere Failure and Time, conspir-
ing, forever count him down and out!
Far into the night, past the mid.
night hour he wrote, and at the first
glimpse Of dawn, in the fastness Of q
sylvan forest of naples beside rip
ping lake Of sheening waters, he met
the lady of his dreams!
Doffing his helmet and kneeling be-
fore her on the silvery sands, he
poured forth his alteration and his
love!
"Arise," she lisped in accents sweet
as whispering winds. "Arise, for thou
hast won mel"
With great Joy in his heart,
Thomas left his room, avoided Fred
erick, and slipped slyly away toward
the brick house on the hill. Long he
watched and waited! At last, she
came, more beautiful, more fairy-like
than ever! Calling boldly, Thomas
rudely thrust the book into her hands
and scampered away into the bushes.

But through it all there pulsed tho
breath of contrition and regret.
He was finishing the manuscript
when the writer entered, within his
yearning eyes a hating look of fear
and doubt, a glance of mingled hope
and anticipated defeat wrestling for
mastery.
To win meant food and chance; to
fail, perhaps starvation and the bitter
end!
Frederick Schaub arose tremblingly,
intense in his gaze. Before him stood
the boy who had been his best friend,
the collaboration of his first literary
effort, the rival who had taken from
him his first boyish love; his master
then, now cringing, pleading, half
starved hack" crying to hear his call!
But, God. that was long ago! Had
they not been near and dear to each
other! Comrades in charity! Eel
lows in JOY and in sorrow-all save
this once! With a cry Of Joy, he
sprang forward:
"Tom, don't you know me? I'm

Home! Why"
The other, calm, possessed, cast
down his eyes, and choking, said:
II know you, Fred. l knew you last
night, but was afraid, afraid you
would remember what a cruel cur
was, away back there among the hills
and, Fred, were-we're hungry up
at our house! Can you use the story?
Can"
But the conclusion was drowned in
the rough embrace that fell upon and
about him.
"Use your story?i Use your story?
Yes, a thousand times, yes, old man!
I can use your story l can use you!
can-We will collaborate together
again! Here, take this! Come back
tomorrow Come ..rly, come to
work! There, never mind! Go LOW!
It's all right"
He wiped away tear himself at
the sight of the strong man sobbing
before him.
GO to the wife, Tom, and tell her.
Get her braced up and bring her down
to dinner tomorrow night. It's Christ
mas Eve. You hadn't forgotten? Well
