Tih-uk- a vast difference in mil lual
niui state politics. In Nehra.ska the
UHtle cry Is the "People vs. Mickey
Ism!" Tiik opposition tn Mickey and Mick
oylsiu In Nebraska should unite In the
defeat of the greatest coniliinat Ion of
corruption of which the commonwealth
was ever Infested.
Now that the democrats have Indors
ed In their St. I.ouis platform the
Kreaflowa Idea" or reciprocity and
fair play, It seems to have lost most of
Its fascmat Ions for (iovernor Cummins.
Wisconsin democrats will try their

acrimonious factions, and now they are

Cat hollo priest of Chicago, returning
from a visit to the Philippines recent
ly, adds his testimony to the over
whelming volume already existing that
the Islands can never he of the slight
est value to the I'lilted1 States and
ought to lie got rid of.
Kvi'.KY morning after breakfast F.ll
liu Root carefully lifts from his trunk
the presidential mantle which I loose
velt thoughtlessly bestowed on him
when he left the cabinet, carefully ex
amines It for moths, and wondering If
lie had better risk It, In the contest for
governor or put It In cold storage.
Tiik tariff iifslnn Is not Incompre
hensible. Kepubllcans Insist upon the
tariff primarily for protection and In
cidentally for revenue; democrats ad
vocate a tariff primarily for revenue
and Incidentally fur protection. In
other words, democrats would anxious
ly guard the tax-paver and consumer.
IIknuy U. Mavis, acknowledging
that lie was a silver man inthe senate,
now says, "Conditions are entirely re
versed. The country haschanged, the
people have changed, financial methods
have changed, and the reasons I had
for favoring silver have all been real
lzid." Me Is to marry a widow of
seventy-live summers.
Nohman V.. Mack, national commit
teeman for New York, thinks the dem
ocrats will w in by carrying the solid
south, the border states of Kentucky,
West Virginia and Maryland, and New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Indiana, lie thinks we also have a
fighting chance In Illinois, Colorado
and Idaho.
"Fi'sion, or no fusion," seems to he
the question of the hour. If the pop
ulists and democrats want to down
Mickey and Mlckeyism, fusion seems
necessary. Hut If they desire that ele
ment to still continue to "rule and
ruin," don't do It. The duty of the
sober, sensible element of both parties
seems very plain. Nat ioual and state
politics widely differ.
An'Kit the !Mh of this month W. J.
Ilryan has announced he w ill place him
self at the disposal of the democratic
national commlttec.and make speeches
fcr Parker andlavls. He Is willing to
lie sent Into such states where the com
mittee think he can do the most good
for the advancement of the Interests
of the candidates and for the rood of
democratic principles.
Tiik News published an article in one
of its Issues last week, purporting to l
taken from the Now York Sun of four
years ago, favorable to Roosevelt. Why
don't It publish one of the Sun's re
cent editorials? Hecause that great
paper Is supporting Judge Parker, be
lieving him to Ik-far superior to Roose
velt In everything that goes to make a
safe, consistent and able man to pre
side over the destiny of the great Am
erican Republic for the next four years,
at least.
Tiik presidential nominations have
caused an immense revolution In the
New York City newspapers. In the
two last campaigns the Journal was
the only large New York paper that
supported Hryan, Now all of them, ex
cept the Tribune, Press and Mall sup
port Parker. Some of the papers that
opposed Hryan, and are now friendly
to Parker, are the Times, the Sun, the
Herald, tbeStaats-Zeltung, the World,
the Evening Post and Ilrooklyn Eagle.
This Is a hoary phalanx.

Wind-jammer F.liner Hurkett,
After everything hi sight,
Afraid lie won't get one,
llolils onto both very tight.
He's tin' only man of brains
He'd like the people to believe-
In the great state of Nebraska,
And thus he tries to deceive.
M-uik Mouton came out from Chi
cago Tuesday to show his authority at
Nebraska City by tearlngdow n a union
card In Levi Urns.' livery barn. When
this act became known, there came
very near being another "Mot Time In
the Old Town!" Hut the union com
pelled Mr. Morton to replace the card
about as quick as lie tore it down.
I m m Km a I'ki.y after the nomination
of Judge Parker at St. Louis, many
western democrats were disposed to
pronounce themselvesagainst hlm.aiid
they were not slow in saying so. Hut
gradually as they learn more of the
great standing of the democratic standard-bearer
they begin to speak more
favorable of him. As between the can
dldateof imperlallni and the candidate
favorable to a continuation of a repub
lican form of government, they will
support Parker In preference to Koose
velt. Tins todeiuocrats: Hoes not the St.
Louis platform suit you better than
republican plat form? Don't you be
lieve that It w 111 be lietter for the coun
try generally to elect Parker than It
would he to elect Roosevelt? Do you
favor free government Instead of Im
perialism? lo you favor a tariff for
revenue only, or do you favor a tariff to
protect the trusts? Parker favors the
former proposition, w hile Roosevelt fa
vors the later. Parker favors a white
man's government while Teddy favors
negr i equality. When you compare
the two platforms, and weigh well the
Important questions before the coun
try, you will not belong In deciding In
favor Alton H. Parker, the eminent
Jurist, and against Roosevelt, the great
blunderbuss.
Is niKiiK anywhere In these I'nitel
Stales another Instance where a man
was permitted to run for representa
tive in congress and for I'nited States
senator at the same time? Was there
ever a party in any other state who
have so many able and deserving mem
bers as the republican party of Nebras
ka who are as far superior to hid
Jammer Hurkett in ability as the
teacher Is superior to the ten-year-old
kid under his tutorship, who arc com
pelled to stand aside and give him pick
and choice of these positions? It Is
actually a discredit to the republican
party not only of the state hut also to
the party of the First congressional dis
trict, that such a state of affairs exist.
Hut they do, and the Wind-jammer
continues to do the two-horse act with
as much precision as the double-bare-back
rider In the tw o-ring circus, while
the big men of the party have to con
tent themselves with looking on at the
performance.
Roosevelt ond Imperialism.
It is Roosevelt and Imperialism, or
Parker and a republic? The New York
Herald In Its leading editorial of July
savs:
"Three years of Roosevelt as presi
dent have cleared away all allusions as
tohisldeals. His conduct In the "Moat
ing" of the Panama Republic, his ruth
loss disregard of public sentiment In
the south, his dictatorial assumption
of authority In every department of
the public service have sumcod to
show the people that his Ideal govern
ment Is Imperialism, that he regards
brute force as the equivalent of right
and his will as the equivalent of le
gality.
' Are these qualities desirable In a
a President of the United States?
This Is a question the American people
will be called upon to answer at the
polls.
"The people will have to 'decide.
"Mr. Roosevelt represents Imperial
ism. J udge Parker represents democ
racy as it is understood by our fore
fathers, the signers of the Declaration
of Independence, as It was understood
by the men who fought for that inde
pendence and as it should he under
stood by us who have inherited that
Independence."
Alton B. Parker's Courage. j
Mi n's lives speak louder than their j
words. What we are stands up and
thunders over what we say'. What we
are mav give tin? lie to our protesta-1
Hons, or it may enforce them. It Is
well when a man speaks both with the
hfe and w ilh the lips.
If ei'r courage and character U.
In the career of any man, they s,e.tu ,
in that o! Alton H. Parker. What Id- '
Is, the man's s 'lf, his character ami
life, towers far above the courageous :
words uttered to the cmu'iitum and
Hi)-country. !
In his career Judge Parker has hewn :
u.i me imc, iemng me chips ran as
they might, lie. has had the courage
to strive for one thing and to reject all
Interference, overcome all obstacles
and deny all temptations to depart
from his path. It has been a courage
Involving monumental self-denial.
Few men born of women would have
hail thccourageathlstlmeof youth to
decline an appointment as Assistant
Postmaster-fieneral of the United
States. Few men would have had the
courage later on to refuse the gover
norship of New York. Few men still
later would have declined to become a
Senator of the United States.
Hut this man, with the grip and
handshake suggesting somewhere in
the remote past a Scottish ancestor
and the twinkle of the eye hinting an
Irish vein of humor, had a deep-formed
pin pose, a sober purpose rooted in his
youth, to carve out a judicial career;
and nothing could shake it. Having
accomplished the ambition of hlsyears,
nothing less than the nomination of his
party for the presidency of the United
States could tempt him to leave the
high Judicial post attained through a
course of extraordinary struggle, even
hardship and the most prodigous
labors.
Had Judge Parker desired hud he
yielded Ids purpose he could have had
a career as varied as that of Roosevelt
and one as tilled w ith olllclal, execu
tlveand federal honors. Ills first great
temptation came when he was but a
Surrogate in Ulstercounty. The office
of Surrogate corresponds to our county
and probate judgeships. At that time
le represented the Ulster county con
gressional district as a delegate to the
democratic national convention. Mr.
Cleveland, on assuming his presidential
duties in Vi, recognized the etlicicut
political service rendered by Surrogate
Parker and offered him the position of
First Assistant Postmaster-General;
hut Parker had resolved to stick to his
profession.
Much against his will, Surrogate Par
ker was dragged into active political
participation In issr. Hill had been
nominated for governor and a manager
of the affairs of the democratic state
committee of exceptional ability was
required. Ira Davenport, who appar
ently had the support of the republi-
ins, had been nominated to oppose
the democratic ticket. Parker man
aged the campaign with such skill as
to elect the whole ticket. In the fall
of that year Governor Hill appointed
him to till a vacancy on the su
preme court bench, created by the
death of Judge Westbrook. Parker
did not decline this otllce it was in
the line of his ambition and life pur
p ise.
In the fall of lsoi he declined, not
withstanding the Insistence of li is per
sonal and political friends, to be a can
didate for governor. The nomination
was his for the asking, but he proved
his determination to limit himself to
the Judicial career until it should have
attained the top notch. In the same
year he refused at the same hands and
for the same reasons the great political
and statesmanly honor of the United
States setiatorshlp. It wasthe oiler of
the majority party. It would have
been his for the taking. He had the
courage to continue In the path. In
HK)2 he again declined to become a can
didate for governor, when that honor,
too, might have been his. Ills personal
popularity and political power might
have been relied upon to defeat Odcll.
Arriving at the honor of the chief
justiceship of the New York court of
appeals, Judge Parker Justly set his
ambition upon the presidency. The
Judicial success had been achieved. It
was perfect, full and substantial. The
New York court of appeals is one of
the most exalted tribunals In the
world. It Is the highest paid tribunal
In the world. There Isbutone Judicial
honor which Is greater than Its chief
Justiceship a place on the supreme
bench of the United States. From the
exalted post which Judge Parker held
ambition leads but two ways to the
supreme court and the presidency.
Justice Peckham recently took the for
mer path. Judge Parker's purpose led
in the latterdlrection. His vast polit
ical knowledge and experience, his In
timate association with great men, his
touch with the affairs of the nation
qualify him for the dutlesand respons
ibilities of the executive position.
while the natural bent of his mind, his
education, his readingand study of the
world's greatest statesmen led him to
ward statesmanship. The statesman
Is greater than the lawyer or Judge-
he combines them both with the ele
nients of leadership. The lawyer and
ludgc are merged In the greater char
acter and stature of Alton II. Parker.
The Imposing leadership of the man
stands forth already with his noiuina
aiiou. His is the courage of leader
slop His is the intellect, the charac
ter and the will to command. It is tl e
coinage which captivates. In the
leadership of democracy's candidate
i hi-re Is that powerful inspirational
..uality which con virtstliegre.il public
into a -i-:s"i,;i'. f"lloui!ik' and makes

The Two Platforms.
I SVw York W urlil.i
The democratic platform Is definite
and decisive in its treatment of the
Philippine question. It says: "We in
sist that we ought to do for the Fili
pinos what we have done already
for the Cubans, and it is our duty to
make that promise now."
The republican platform is not so di
rect, but It is no less decisive. After
declaring that "we" have given the
Filipinos the largest civil liberty they
ever enjoyed, the convention used this
ominous language: "Ryour possession
of the Philippines we were enabled to
to take prompt and effective action
in the relief of the legations at Pe-
kin and a decisive part In preventing
the partition and preserving the In
tegrity of China."
In other words, the Philippines must
be retained as a springboard, from
which the United States can leap from
time to time into the arena of Asiatic
politics.
We are an eastern as well as a west
ern empire now, and nothing that
promises to get us into trouble Is for
eign to us.
There can he no mistaking the sinis
ter meaning of the republican platform
or the attitude of the administration.
The Imperialistic elements of the re
publican platform or the attitude of
the administration. The Imperialistic
elements of the party regard the Phil
ippines not only as a province to gov
ern, but as a base of operations from
which to push our way Into the eastern
continent. The administration is al
ready committed to the theory of ex-
tendingour Oriental trade at the point
of the bayonet which is the real slg-
nigtlcance of Mr. Hay's open-door
policy.
The Chicago platform shows that
the party is only waiting for new op
portunities to meddle-opuortunlties
almost certain to come when the In
evitable Asiatic concert is called to de
cide the question of supremacy grow
ing out of the war between Russia and
Japan. To balance the big stick in the
west we must have a big stick in the
east. Meanw hile the doctrines of the
declaration of Independence are indef
initely suspended.
A Sweet Breath
is never a failing sign of healthy stom
ach. When the breath is bad the
stomach is out of order. There Is no
remedy In the world equal to Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure forcuring indigestion,
dyspepsia and all stomach disorders.
Mrs. Mary C. Crick, of White Plains,
Ky., w rites: "I have been a dyspeptic
for years: tried all kinds of remedies
but continued to grow worse. Hy the
use of of Kodol I began to Improve at
once, and after taking a few bottles
am fully restored in weight, health
and strength and can eat whatever I
like." Kodol digests what you eat
and makes the stomach sweet. Sold
