Omaha (Nob.) Commercial: Can any
Individual toll us who and what Judgo
Parker is?
Lincoln (Neb.)- Democrat: Just re
member that it is the papsuckors who
would reorganize the party.
Aurora (Nob.) Itogister: The Now
.York World promises that Parker will
glvo his views to tho public as soon
as ho Is nominated. Might ho not
then conclude to wait until after olec
tion? Auburn (Nob.) Herald: Under the
president's ruling that preference bo
given to married mon in governmental
appointments tho Mormons will prob
ably feel that each one of them Is
qualified to fill two or three clerk
Bhips. Bonton (111.) Standard: If the
'American brethren desire to be con
vinced that Uncle Samuel made a good
trade whon ho bought tho Philippine
islands, all that is necessary is to at
tend tho St, Louis World's Fair and
sco somo of "our subjects" eat raw
clog.
Johnstown (N. Y.) Democrat: Does
it not seem strango in view of all this
anxiety on the part of the financiers
respecting tho alarming Increase of
'gold, as well as their eagerness to get
it all, that there should still be found
outside of the walls of tho state insti
tutions for tho feeble-minded many
men who insist tint tho money issue
is ad and should not again become
a subject for political discussion?
Aberdeen (Wash.) Herald: Judgo
1'orker's sllenco seems lo be the on1'
indication of his political oxistence. It
recalls a story of Emory A. Storrs, tho
ono-tlme lawyer of Chicago. Mr. Storrs
loft a committee room to look for a
member supposed to bo somewhere in
tho corridor of the building, a member
distinguished for his habit of silence.
Upon returning, Storrs reported: "It
was so dark in tho corridor that I
couldn't find him; but I know he's
there, because it's so thundering still!"
Savannah (Mo.) Democrat: Tho re
publican press is now getting busy.
The latest is that President Roosevelt,
if re-elected, would at the first op
portunity send a tariff reform mes
sage to congress. Well, the president
has had several splentMd opportuni
ties to do this for somo time, but he
has graciously lot them pass by. Tar
iff reform is tho only remedy with
which to curb tho trusts, and if you
roly upon republican promises, the I
trusts you win nave witn you always.
lUilliifclUii
Hastings (Nob.) Democrat It is
very ovident that ex-President Cleve
land is still smarting undor the criti
cism of his course in the labor strikes
at Chicago in 1804, and made much
worse by executive interference. In
deed, tho ex-president has been so
worried that Monday night he deliv
ered a public speech at Princeton, in
which ho wont over the ground thor
oughly in an effort to Justify his own
course and that of his administration
in usurping authority not given them
by tho constitution. The Cleveland
course in this strike was one of the
weakest points of his administration
and tho further you get away from it
the worse it looks, and the more anx
ious the ex-presldent' is to have the
American people judge him leniently.
Ramsey (111.) News-Journal r Judge
Parker gets his support from the bolt
ers of tho democratic ticket in 1896
and 1900. Ho is the representative of
Hill and Cleveland. Hill's chief rec
ommendation as a democrat is the
statement ho made when Bryan was a
candidate, "I am a democrat still
very still." Cleveland a short time
ago gave out the statement that it was
ovident ,he would have to support the
ropublican ticket this year, as there
would be no decent democrat running.
No ono knows where Parker stands,
as ho is silent as the ophinx.
Columbus (Nob.) Telegram: The
democracy should take the country in
to its confidence, declare in plain
teims its attitude upon all questions
of interest, and tell the people just
what its nominees will do, in case they
shall bo elected. Some ono who
claimed to know once said that "God
hates a coward." If that be tiuo, then
the Almighty must today regard with
holy hatred tho cowards who drafted
that New York platform. Judge Far
kor may secure the nomination for the
presidency, but if he shall it is certain
ho will not be allowed to stand upon a
platform as weak as the one manufac
tured by Dave Hill in New York.
Rockville (Ind.) Tribune: The ex
tent of injury done to the democratic
party by the course of its congressmen
who have been listening to the siren
song of "conservatism'' cannot be
overestimated. It has transformed men
of ability devoted to principles that
have appealed to mankind in all ages,
into a set of politicians in nowise dif
ferent from the average republican
member of congress who will support
anything to win. It is humiliating to
note that not one democrat on the floor
of congress had the courage to open
his mouth when taunted to say "yes"
or "no" by a half-baked "protection
1st" Littlefield of Ma.ne who, last
Wednesday, challenged them to in
dorse or reject the doctrine of free
trade. There they sat while this blat
ant expounder of the sophisms of "pro
tection" dared them to open their
mouths and say one word in. favor of
free trade! And this, coo, when al
most every intelligent man knows that
"protection" Is responsible for a larn
majority of the trusts who .are robbing
the people, and are ready to vote for
free-listing every article made by a
trust and sold to the people of this
country higher than it is sold abroad
If such is the condition-of affairs al
ready brought about by the mere pros
pect of Parker what will it be if these
congressmen succeed in nominating
and electing him?
Quinine as a Universal Drug.
I assume that everyone in the civil
ized world has taken a dose of quinine
It is the universal drug. Its value is
unappreciated by the masses, who use
it only for colds and fevers tho samo
thing. As a tonic it is unsurpassed.
As an alterative it has no equal in
the materia medica. I heard a dis
tinguished surgeon say: "If I wanted
to ferment a barrel of cabbage in less
time than anybody else could do it I
would put in It an eighth of an ounco
of quinine. A little quinine in the
disordered stomach acts just about as
it would in the cabbage. It hastens
the assimilation, of the food and re
stores the normal conditions."
Habitual users of quinine are slaves
to it, but derive little benefit from it.
Men with malaria eat it by the .ounce,
and still keep the malaria. The world
is full of quinine drunkards, who pour
a spoonful into the palm of one hand
and lick it down without a grimace.
I have seen them chew cinchona bark
as one chews gum. Others, not ha
bituated, must take two grains or ten
in a gelatine capsule. Before capsules
were Invented It was taken in mo
lasses and the chances are that the
molasses effected the cure. Too much
of it is nearly as bad as too much
calomel. Great fortunes have been
made out of it, however, and its culti
vation in Ceylon and Java is said to
be successful.
There are several pretty romances
