Eureka (111.) Democrat-Journal:
Correspondent Raymond says that
while Judge Parker refuses to discuss
politics he has ideas of his own. This
seems to mark a wide difference be
tween hlin and Cleveland. The latter
shows an ovci mastering disposition to
discuss politics, Jaut as to ideas, he
seems to have borrowed them from the
Wall street crowd, as lie did gold in
his second administration.
Colfax (Wash.) Commoner: A short
time ago the republican papers weie
gleefully announcing that Mr. Carne
gie was willing to contribute $1,000,000
to the Roosevelt campaign fund if
Wall sh?ei refused to subscribe en
account of .he president's "trust bust
ing'' proclivities. These papers prob
ably thought that the people A'ould
not remember that Mr. Carnegie is
interested in the steel trust, one of the
biggest of all the trusts.
Albion (Neb.) Argus: The meat
trust last week, just to show iri what
contempt they held the great "trust
buster" and his merger decision,
raised the retail price of meat 25 per
cent, and that, too, when there
no advance in the price of cattle and
the cold storage houses were iilled
with it. Roosevelt's man of many
carriages, gold mounted harness and
liveried servants, is investigating the
meat trust and this advance in the
price of meat shows that the packers
also hold him in contempt.
Fairbury (Neb.) Journal: Here is
a sentiment expressed by a "reorgan
izer" of the democratic party in
Omaha: "The democratic party must
this year frame a platform that does
not mean too much and nominate an
acceptable man for president. Then
it must play for success, without car
ing how it is won. A party is no good
that doesn't win sometimes." There
you have the purpose of the reorgan
izers exactly, to get the offices le
gardless of the method; to win, for a
"party that dpesn't win is no good."
That is political corruption gone mad
with frankness.
Rockville (Ind.) Tribune: So far as
the Tribune is concerned neither
Hearst nor Parker is at stake in this
fight. It is this: Shall the democratic
party go onward or backward? Shall
it be turned over to men who have
been against it for eight years and
are still against it unless it surren
ders? The very nature of the appeal
for harmony made by the men wnose
cause Mr. Kern and Mr., Shively cham
pioned in the convention is this: We
are against you -we will defeat you
again unless you give us control of
the party. You must abandon Bryan
for Cleveland; Towne for Belmont;
Teller for Morgan; Williams for 01
ney. Clearly the "return to sanity"
is a travail to elicit the utmost com
miseration. It was a job too big for
one man even though his reputation
and influence may be Himalayan.
Such a contract required sub-letting,
and when that was done we wonder
which of our old friends assumed the
"biggest half."
Bellingham (Wash.) Blade: True,
Grover Cleveland sold out his birth
right fox a mess of pottage in. his sec
ond term, and literally delivered him
self to the republicans; there was an
instance that he was a traitor is evi
denced by the fact that the men who
made a tool of him then are his sup
porters now and would be delighted to
see him nominated for the head of the
democratic ticket. Cleveland, Bourke
Cockran and their ilk may cry for re
organization, and plead harmony as
much as they will, but no honest dem
ocrat will take any stock in it, they
are simply the tools of the same com
bine who care only for their own self
ish interests and nothing for the na
tion. The Morgans and Vanderbilts
gather in all the spoil they can reach
and then bid their dear native coun
try a fond farewell and take up their
residence in dear hold Hingland, while
the hired men who are drawing pen
sions, and fat salaries tarry with us
for a timo, and will so long as the
treasury holds out.
Paragould (Ark.) Soliphone: Wo
can only guess what Judge Parker
stands, for by the leaders who have
designated him as the man to receive
the nomination. And who are those
leaders? Are they the men who stood
nobly by the party and its nominee
in the last conflict? Are they not
rather the men who withheld their
support and encouraged the election
of McKinley by their apathy, and In
some instances by their opon advoc
acy of McKinley? August Belmont,
Grover Cleveland and David B. Hill
are the men who have been most con
spicuous in bringing Judge Parker to
the front. Belmont is the man who
negotiated the United States bond deal
with the Rothschilds on such favora
ble terms to the manipulators that
congress repudiated the action. Bel
mont was the appointee of Cleveland
and both Cleveland and Belmont were
repudiated by a democratic congress
for their action. Does it stand now
to reason that the democracy of the
country is going to let these two men,
and the minority of the party who
withheld their support to the porty
ticket in the last campaign, name the
man who is to lead the party in the
campaign this year? If the time has
come now in the history of the party
whore the tail is going to wag the
dog we had better kill the dog.
Four things fail. The fifth thing suc
ceeds. The hardest workers have the
most failures, but then thoy have the
most successes, too.
"One of my early failures was a
molodrama that I traveled all the way
from Chicago to New York to sell to
a manager. This was In my youth,
when I had conlldcnco in myself. The
manager returned my molodrama. Ho
said he didn't care for It.
"I pointed out the merits In It which
he had overlooked. I proved that ho
would make a great mistake if ho
should not accept this work. But he
shook his head.
"'Can't you use it at all?" I asked
desperately.
"'Well,' said he, 'I might grind It
up and use it for a snowstorm.' "

Dr. Rainsford, in his new book, "A
Preacher's Story of His Work," has
some very interesting stories to till
of hi3 experiences ,when he first tro c
up his work on the Bast Side In New
York. He says, in telling of one of
his experiences:
"I remember one man in partic
ulara big, strong fellow. He came
in and sat down in the Sunday school
(by this timo I had some of the very
best teachers I could find working
there, and I always put the best work
ers I had there), and began to talk in
a way that a man should not talk to
a lady. He was a little drunk. I saw
the lady's face flush; I walked over
and told him to get out. He would not
move. I said:
"We are here to help you people;
we are paid .nothing for it; now, you
are enough of a man to respect a lady;
why do you sit here and make it im
possible for her to teach those hoys?"
He swore at me and would not get
out.
"You don't want me to call a po
liceman, do you? Go out quietly."
He jumped to his feet, and I saw I
was in for a row. He was as big a
man as I was. I did not call a police
man, but I hit him harder than I ever
hit a man in my life, and knocked him
down. Then I stood over him and
said?
"Have you had enough?"
He said "Yes."
"All right," I answered; "now get
out." And he werft.
About three weeks after that we got
into a scrimmage outside the Sunday
school room with some toughs and to
my horror, I saw, elbowing his way
through the crowd, this same burly
fellow, and I began to feel that, be
tween him and the others, I would be
killed, when to my astonishment he
walked up to the ring-leader and said:
"The doctor and me can clean out
this saloon; you get out."
