New York is Loyal.

Upon taking his departure from the scene of
the democratic national convention Judge Alton B.
Parker, presidential candidate of four wears ago
left behind him the assurance that he would give
to the ticket and the platform his hearty support
although the platform not exactly what he tried
to make it. Specifically, he said
"One thing is sure-I am going to support the
ticket OF Bryan and Kern, and want my friends to
do the same thing. But [ do not want to receive
any credit under the slightest misapprehension of
facts. | think, in all frankness l should say re-

Washington. [ felt that | owed it to nv party and
my convictions to make this fight against anv at

Judge Parker found that there was marked diff
terence OF opinion in the subcommittee on reso1-
tons on the subject of federal invasion of the pre-
negatives OF the states and he unable to fully
impress his views the majority of the committee
He was satisfied on having gained little ground
expecting to gain more in the years to come The
disappointment that came to him will not prevent
him and his friends from supporting the action of the
convention with their full strength
Out of the clash of opposing views has come ac-
ceptance of results by all except the irreclaimable
and for them opportunity has opened the way into
the republican party which has renewed its allegiance
to plutocracy and affords them congenial refuge

sullenly into the Bryan camp cheerfully acquiesced

word that the electoral of its state will be cast

democracy of Mr.. Bryan.

GOmpers Declares for BRYAN.

An important event of the current week was
Samuel Gompers visit, on Monday to the Fairview
home of w. ]. Bryan. Mr.. Gompers sought the
presence of the democratic presidential candidate for
the purpose of rendering his support to the demo-
cratic ticket and his vote election day.
The interview pleasing one to Mr. Bryan
and the news gatherers assembled at Fairview re-
ported that it evidently enjoyed by Mr. Com
pers He is president of the American Federation of
Labor and the federation and its allies represent
100000 votes.
In behalf of the federation, Mr. Gompers went
first to the republican convention at Chicago with
certain specific demands that had the backing of
organized labor The republican party, through its
convention, refused to meet the requirements of the
federation, which in conflict with the policy of
the party in relation to organized industrial capital
and the head of the national association of en-
ploying manufacturers told organized labor to go
to Denver where it belonged.
Mr.. Gompers, for the 1aboring side of the uues-
t1on acted upon the suggestion, went to Denver,
laid his case before the national democratic conven-
t1on re1teratlng the Chicago demands He was there
well received and the convention committed the
democratic party to the principles enunciated by the
Federation of Labor to the complete satisfaction
of President Gompers
His visit to the candidate of the democrats and
his declaration of fealty to the democratic cause
came along in the orderly sequence of events and
the indicated purpose of labor will be confirmed bv
the ballots of the federation in November. So the
announced allegiance of Mr. Gompers to Mr. BRYAN
was formality of the highest Importance to the
democratic cause.
The declaration made in the convention platform
will be of value to labor unless the partv is
placed in position to fulfill its promises to labor
Labor is therefore vtal1y interested in the success

VALUE or MANURE.

While manure may contain only
the same amount of actual fertilizing
constituents as a given amount of
commercial fertilizer, its benefit to
the soil is sometimes much greater,
owing to its addition of humus. When
manure is incorporated with a soil
it greatly improves the texture, loos-
ening heavy, compact soil, and bin.
ing together light, leachy one, maxi
ing the soil more friable, warmer,
more retentive OF moisture and more
congenial to plants in every way.
Some experiments conducted by
Professor King, at the Wisconsin Ag-
ricultural Experiment Station, showed
that certain MANFRED land contained
eighteen tons more water per acre in
the upper foot of soil than similar I'M
MANFRED land, and thirty-four tons
more in the soil to a depth of three
feet. Manure exerts quicker bene-
fetal effect on the texture of soils
than green manures. He concludes
that manures will also aid in equal
izing the supply and distribution of
water in the soils; that they will ex-
ert material influence in making
soils warmer and that MANFRED land
is less subject to the denuding eff
fects of wind and rain.
Manrres act chemically on soils.
by adding new stores of plant food,
and by their decomposition in the
soil they give off carbonic acid gas,
which unites with the soil water and
increased its dissolving action on min
eral plant food. 1t also provides the
formation Of humates in the soil, and
thus renders inert mineral plant food
more available. The temperature of
soils will be materially raised as re-
suit of the chemical actions. Amer

effective and graceful manner, and is
adapted to all the soft and clinging
materials that are characteristic of
present styles. In the illustration a
dotted foulard is trimmed with band

trifiing one, but the skirt would be
pretty made from such wool materials
as wolfe or marquisette, from crepe de

material of the sort, and also of such
simpler things as cashmere and alba

The skirt is circular, the right side

There are darts that mean snug fit
over the hips and the draped portion
is laid in pleats that provide long and
graceful lines. The fulness at the

The Gloom Of HIGHT.

The gloom cast over New York by
the hight of its buildings has been the
subject of an investigation by Dr.
John E. Hill, just made public in con-
nection with the report of the COM
mittee on the congestion of popula-
tion. He finds that along Broadway
most offices have to be artificially
lighted, except for about five hours in
the middle of the day; that along Ex-
change place very little direct sun
light falls, except for two hours in
the forenoon, and that the New York
oculists testify to greatly increased
business in the region of nearly COM
piete dependence upon artificial IL
luminatiop.--B Transcript.

An Embarrasslng Position.

The celebrated French physician
Ricord was one day walking along the
boulevards in Paris when he met an
old gentleman who was very rich,
but who was at the same time noted
for his extreme stinginess. The old
man, who was something of hypo-
chondriac, imagined that he could get
advice from Ricord without paying
for it.
Doctor, am feeling very poorly. :"
Where do you suffer most?"
In my stomach, doctor"
"Ah, that's bad. Please shut your
eyes. Now put out your tongue SO
that can examine it closely"

After he had waited patiently for
about ten minutes he opened his eyes,
and found himself surrounded by a
crowd, who supposed that he was
crazy. DR.. Ricord in the meantime
