Drawn an t'lilavorable CoiitniMt Between KiirIUIi ami Amer ican i:liicat,l Men In PolltlcN," Now-u-daya. New York, Aug. 2.H. In an article on "Educated Men In Politics." pub lished here In the current number of a magazine, Alton B. Parker, the demo cratlc presidential candidate, draws an unfavorable cotitmst with that clus In America and the corresponding; one In England. . In the course of his ur- tlde, Mr. Parker says: "A man who would succeed In bust ness should begin at the bottom and work Inward the top, which he niny reach If he masters every di'tall Hn! proves himself more skillful than thorn- who ure vicing with him In the strug' ale for Its ultimate control. The same rule applies to politics. There are ex ception to the rule, but they tend to prove It, aa exceptions usually do. Young men, therefore, should be con tent to begin at the foot of the polit ical ladder. 'Wherever your home may be, there you wilt find, upon Investigation, a chance for helpfulness, In nearly every town, county and city government, the expenses Are rapidly Increasing. "Although for considerable portions of the Increase, corresponding benefits are being received, the tendency to wastefulness and extravagance la not only marked, but It already threatens our municipalities In the not far dis tant future with a burden that will be borne with exceeding difficulty. This la due largely to the fact that men of education, supplemented by profes sional and business training, are will lug to contribute as their fathers In the past, some portion of their time and ability toward the duties of local government. "The result naturally Is that oo muny men with little at stake and without any ambition to be useful ii the community In which they live, seek and obtain local executive offices, as well as those of a legislative charac ter, with moat unfortunate results. This Is to be seen on every hand and as a rule it Is not the fault of the local party leaders, who are too often unjustly censured and held responsi ble for such conditions." Contrasting these statements with conditions In England, Judge Parker declares that a different view Is held there of the capable men of affairs In respect to their administration of the systems of local politics, with a necessarily beneficial result In muni- clpal government. ECONOMY WAVE IN ENGLAND Extravagance Banished In Many Cir elaa and Luxuries Given Up. London, Aug. 25. England Is suf fering from .the eeverest epidemic of economy she has experienced for years. On all hands Is the cry "no money," nnd people are aerlously asking "where Is the coin?" It is thought an 111 wind has swept across the country, leaving a blight upon most every Industry and upon every man, whether he lives by his investments or earns a few pence an hour by the sweat of his brow. The wave of depression extends from the west of London, where the most expen slve Jewels are now scarcely ever pur chased, to the east coast watering places, that are suffering from a lack of patronage, despite the glorious weather; from east London where the dock laborers are clamoring for work and their children for bread, to the Welsh porta and to towns where trade la sorely depressed; and again from Scotland, with its almost stagnant whisky trade, to the south coast of England. Luxuries are tha first to feel the new adverse conditions, and the decrease In their consumption Is now most marked throughout the country,. Men who for merly drank the most expensive wines now purchase cheaper brands or ab stain from wine altogether. Others who were accustomed to take a good brand of champagne now have a whis ky and soda Instead, and it is a sign of the times that some of the finest brands of champagne can be purchased at a lower aum than they were sold at two years ago. Travelera to the continent ask tourist agents to find them a cheaper hotel accommodation, and then travel second class Instead of first, and also practice other economies while taking their holiday. Children spend leaa money at the confectioners; auto matic machines mutely appeal to trav elers at railway stations, but are un heeded, and many men who formerly traveled to thflr work by train now go by road to save a copper. During last winter expensive furs were rarely pur chased; charitable Inittltutlons are In the depths of riexpalr, while stock ex change stagnation is no longer heeded the complaint has become chronic. A London charitable Institution recently sent out 4000 letters, unking for contri butions, the soli. response being two penny stamps. As If to pres home the tale of distress, the deposits In the post office savings bank this year shows a fulling off averaging over 1,000.000 pounds per unnum, and friendly society business Is almost at a standstill. The buslnea Of the theatres has been terri ble during the present year; doctors cannot get their fes; solicitors can not get work; the bock trade la almost stugnanU and thouunl of clerks are out of employment, In west end. re. taurants also the depression la felt. Men who formerly dined at what may be termed the extravagant restaurants now go to those that are more reason able, and others have vanished from their old haunts altogether. Tha Death Penalty. A little thing sometimes results In death. Thus a mere scratch. Insignifi cant cuts or puny bolls have paid the death penalty. It Is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It'a the best Salve on earth and will prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and Piles threaten. Only 25c, at Chaa. Rogers' drug store.

She aaw the Judge go whirling past, "Gee!" said Maud, "he's going fast." And then she thought of the sighs and tears The Judge had caused her all these years "He's breaking the law at that speed,' quote she. "Ha! ha! ha! here's revenge for me!' So she set her teeth, and ne'er e'en flinched. While she took his number and had him pinched. ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE. Biology fcaa Proved that Dub draff la Carwed ay Gem.
