"' "' " v. ' : . PARKER'S SPEECHES IN THE SOUTH. EX-JUDGE ALTON B.. PARKER, who, some' may remember, was the "Democratic candidate for president in 1904, is swinging around the south ern" circle addressing state legislatures and other bodies, and teaching them his ideas of true Democracy. .As a corporation lawyer at a big. salary and a. political crony of August Belmont and P. H. McCarren, he knows all about his.Wjrt. ftf In his'speech-at-Charlotte, North Carolina, Friday, he plainly, whetherjntentionally "or riot: exposed tirraml and purpose , llf has evidently been sent down south by the plutocrats calling them , selves Democrats to try to induce the south to take no forward step, to stand again by Ne'w York Democrats, as represented by Belmont, McCarren, Hill, Cleveland and himself. He tells that section it should take the lead. What be means is that the south should stand in again with the Wall street lamb-shearer and plutocrats. - "In 1896," he says, "yon tried Nebraska, and since that day no old Democratic northern j state has elected a United States senator, and in none has there been a friendly governor" Yes,-they tried Nebraslcain-1896, . and in 1900-and in 1904 they tried New York--and " Parker. If comparison is to be made, Nebraska makes - by' far the better showing. Parker admits that in 1904 : ?you returned again to New York for your candidate only to meet -nrt defeat in our party's history." ' .Yes," and Parker was the candidate. " But why- did he say no old' Democraticnorthern state? Oregon has elected'a Democratic governor, and Oregon is 47 years old. , Minnesota is not a very young atate, and it; has a Democratic governor. Massachusetts is not an infant as a state, and last year it elected a Democratic governor. Ohio considers itself of age, and it has a Democratic governor. But none of them are ;governorsi--f-the-BelmontrMcCarrentripe.: Parker evidently never heard of these incidents. He was never 50 miles west of Wall street in his life before, nor 50 inches in thought And what does he mean by "friendly I, governor "Friendly" Jo what and to whom ? He does - not say. "When such conditions confront you" as . Democratic paralysis "why should, you persist any longerr he asks. Well, looking at 1904, and at Parker, whom the south nominated, why indeed? Parker not only could not carry a single northern state, but he lost Missouri, and if he should run again we verily berieve j, e would lose half the south.. Why "persist longer?" "Why shouldyou not assert yourselves?" he- asks. They did, in 1904, and if they "asserted themselves" in the same way once more there wouldn't be any Demo ciaticjparty even in the south. He. wants to drop "isms," but gives no hint of what he means-by "isms!" Railroad control ' is one, no doubt. He wants the party to "group the great moral issues," but, gives no hint of what tbey are. Pat McCarren is a fine representative of "moral issues," isn't het Parker ' says nothing on any really live question now before the people, except the tariff, and of course the trusts expect him to dilate on that, He is as dead, so far as his ' speeches go, to what isreally going on in jhe country, to the great reforming if not revolutionizing movements 'f the people, as a mummy that has lain in an Egyptian aarcophagua i,Q00 years. .- ANOTHER RECALCITRANT WITNESS, 'E HAVE NO EXCUSE for the trust magnates and corporation officers who refuse to answer (questions put to them in a trial, as to their affairs -which-the' public has a right to inquire into, but " ;we' confess some measure of approval of and sympathy with Miss Minnie Gaillard of Texas, who is ifi New York, in her refusal to answer District Attorney Jerome when " he asked her to tell her age. She declined to answer, on the ground that her age was a purely private matter, having no' bearing on the case, and therefore nobody's business but het own. Jerome, defeated in the, contest of wits, attempted intimidation, and threatened impris- onment,.but thisonly brought to the-surface Miss- Gail lard's scorn. She did not tell her age, and she did not go to jail. , ; ' -y - - There are cases in which the age of a person is per tinent, and perhaps Jerome thought it so in this ease; snore likely Miss Gaillard was right, and tliat it wasn't. When it is not necessary, the question, especially in the cite of a spmster who is no longer in the bloom of youth, is an impertinence. But whether so or not, there' . is no force slfort of 3be thumb-screw and rack, which cannot be resorted to in llis country, to compel a woman io tell ber age, when it has ripened into a personal and secret possession.' . i j ' ; V-'... .

The association appealed to Secretary KbotTo inTeTesT Himself officially In, the rnatteii but he -declined, wisely tis we" think." The United States," helhformenhe associa tion, is a signatory party to a treaty for the suppression of the slave trade and the regulation of the firearms and liquor traffic in Central Africa, but the carrying out of this policy is left to those powers having possessions or spheres "or mfluencein -Africa,-and let us be thankful) the United States is not one Of those powers. Our only function in the "matter is to capture slaVe ships if - we should run across' any within certain limits. .The sec retary also intimates that, while he would like to see bet ter government in Congo,-It is a difficult proposition, perhaps five times as difficult as our job in the Philippines..- -. i.J : " ' j;- .' This may be a: slap at the Boston anti-imperialists, but what-aeema, to need reforming is. King Leopold's ideas and methods of the goyernroent. of Congo... According to the literature of the association, Jhe, Congo Free State is held by King Leopold of Belgium as his personal prop? erty. This vast territory, equal in area to all the coun tries of western Europe combined, he treats as he would a crown estate. While slavery has ostensibly been abol ished, the people are practically hhriiaves. He imposes whatever taxes he pleases, and as the people iiave noth inir to- nay with he makes them work for him. This is them, or starves is rubber, and Leouolu lr are sent mto-the forestro-gatber-rubberr while ihtBcl gian soldiers amuse themselves with the rubber-hunters' wives and children, who haven't firearms or liquor, as the soldiers have.

There are many more particulars, some of them too horrible- to print, and the literature of the association is confirmed byTritlsn1nvestigatiorr.--:Creat-numbers7tf Leopold's Congo subjects have been killed, directly' or indirectly, and women and children- worse than killed, and so King Leopold's work of civilization and benevo lent assimilation goes bravely on; but, as Secretary Root says, the.

HE MISERABLE ENDING of the career of Sen ator Chauncey M. Depew for it is about ended; ."the evening shadows fall" ought to he a lrsson worth" studying .well and pondering deeply by every tal ented, educated young man, fitted to enter upon a public career, and ambitious for its honors for such they should be considered and are if that service is well per formed. Let such'a young man consider Depew at the outset of his public career, follow him through his va rious activities, noticing closely their nature, and then behold him now, and beholdmg-'askrthe question did it pay? ' . .' . ,- ...:-:.. . . . . . . Chauncey M. Depew graduated from Yale at 22, stud ied law nd began practice at Peekskill. He was urbane, talented, had a good presence and a winning way,' and in 1862, when 27 years old, was a member of the New York legislature, where he soon became a favorite and a mem ber of influence. Now there was the start What a bril- 4iaMcteTwar''Cpched"up torthaf "young" "man: "If "he had been' true to the people and to himself and, young man, ia public-lifeoneJnvolYesthe others there is no possible separation of them what honors in these 44 years would have been bestowed upon him, what a vast amount of good he could have done for the country, how his name now in hiaold age would have been venerated, how he could have looked back over a career full of great honor and usefulness, and forward unafraid.. Instead of being permitted by. iheJVanderbilts to go to the senate when old, a morally ruined man fo25 years, lie could have gone there in the early- prime of life and remained at will, as Hoar did; he could have been a Cabinet min ister, an ambassador abroad,4 very -likely could have been president. He could have been one of the very foremost men in the nation today. He would not have had so much money, though he is not very rich, as wealth is counted now in New York, but he might have been all this, almost surely; and now look at him, young man who wants to get into public life, and ask yourself did it pay? Did what pay? Why, treason to the people while in public office, the sacrifice of a notedly brilliant career to become the salaried lobbyist and professional briber for a gang of as great thieve as ever infested the earth, the Vanderbilts. Well, he was paid $100,000 a year for many years and put in the way of making many thousands a year more; he was a bon vivant and had "a good time;" he served his masters well,; and they paid him but poorly; he is a senator, butJobk at Jiitn, and ask your soul did it pay? ,' , ' . . In 1864. Depew was elected secretary of state and so gerrymandered the state that even the Republicans were ashamed of him and would not renominate him. Then he got employment of the Vanderbilts, sold himself to them, became nominally junior counsel but really briber ofjegislatures and dcspoiler of the people. He got through franchise and stock-watering bills whatever the Vanderbilts wanted, was their "chief agent in robbing" tlie people of properties and privileges amounting now to half a billion dollars. He was a cheap man, after all, for Graham Phillips in the, Cosmopolitan Magazine says, "it would be a moderate statement that the geniality of Depew. has cost the people of the state of New York a thousand . million doUars." Cheap for the thieves; but dear for the people. - As capitot building commissioner he helped rob the people of -millions. .Some one. once asked Roicoe Conkling what he thought of Depew. "Depew?" Conkling replied, "you mean the fellow Van derbilt sends to Albany every winter to say 'gee and 'haw' to his cattle there?" As a driver of legislative cat tle. Depew was a success. "And . for reward," Phillips says, "the VafTderbilts have given him scant and contemptuous-crumbs Aftet40l years, ofjaithful, indus trious and to his masters enormously profitable self degradation, avaricious and saving though he. is, he has not more than five, millions. And they tossed hint the scnatorship as if it had been a charity." But he served others than the Vanderbilts, Hyde of the Equitable, for instance, and stood in with-various species of high finance grafting. .lie is or was lately a director in 73 corporations, and the income for merely attending their directors' meetings amounts, to $50,000 a year,, and, yet he hasn't evert great wealth to show for a whole life' of prostitution of good talents. What is he in the senate? No more a servant of the people of New If this be true, it is good news, and the dressmakers for once deserve a unanimous vote of thanks, not only from millions of tortured women but from millions of admiring and sensible men. The distortion of the fe male form produced by the corset aa worn by the present generation is bad enough considered from an artistic viewpoint, but the ills and diseases the headaches, and cold Jfeetand dyspepsia and so- on of -wfttch :iP is-the source, are worse.

The beauty of women as to figure is largely a matter of sug gestion, and to . an observing man the chief charm in woman form is its suggestion of grace, lissomeness, nat ural curvature, and softness.

"Judge" Hamilton burst in upon the legislative committee at -Albany and said a few things. He was not in a good humor. In no choice language he accused the insurance ; . directors and : particularly the auditihgcommitttesT 0f making scapegoat of him dur ing his absence, and of trying. to shift the blame to his shoulders. They kftew just how much money he got and what it was for.

We have given auch lists to sev eral of the natives and posted a copy In our own quarters. Our object In so doing wo stated In the preamble of this muster-roll, as follows: "The object of this list Is that through the medium ot soma civilized person who may se the names, it may be made known to the Informed world, that the party, consist ing of the persons whoso naiqea are hereunto annexed, and who were sent out by the government of the United States In May. 10, to explore the In terior of the continent ot Horth America, did penetrate the same by way of the Missouri river and Columbia rivers, to the discharge of tho Utter Into the Paclfle ocean, where they arrived on the fourteenth of November, 1905, and from whence they departed the day of March, 1S06. on their return to the United States by the same routo they had coma out" ' On the back of aomo of these lists we added a sketch of the connections of the Columbia and particularly of Its main southeast branch. On the same lists we alao delineated the track" by which wo bad come, and that which we meant 10 pursue on our return. In so far as these were not the same. .Thera seemed to be so many chanoes that our government would never obtain a regular report, through the medium of the traders and savages of this count that-we did not think It worth while to leava any such In their hands.

State Printer Whitney says the job is not' such a big fat thing as most people seem to think. We do not gather, however, that it is a poorhouse proposition and in this view of the case are somewhat sustained by the pTwftrtHcTlTHbcilt" Who amiotinecs his . willingness- to motive frvingJLheorld. of helping take a second whirl at it. Furthermore the number ot talented men who are willing to sacrifice themselves in this office leads to the impression that while it may not be ouife so sott a thing as In th it is quite well worth the while ot anybody wno is sat isfied with fair emoluments. The man who aspires to this office should pledge himself to abide by the action of the next legislature in going into a thorough investi gation to place it on a Businesslike basis either of salary or outright purchase. . - night a wagon belonging to a farmer was struck, resulting in a bad accident.
