The Horse Is learning.
The horse is getting wise. He always
was intelligent, but he hac learned many
things in the last few years. A really
successful horse to-daj must know a
great many things not essential to those
olden horses who did not live in electric
lighted stables or ride up and down
stairs on an elevator and did not have
their hair cut by electricity. A horse
to have a career to-day must not only
have horse sense, but he must be ac
quainted with the ways of the world,
«avs the Washington Star. He must be
a "horse-of-the-world" or a "horse
about-town," if it be permissible to
paraphrase those hard-worn phrases
"man-of-the-world" and "man-about
town." Nearly every horse is becoming
an educated horse. During the last few
years the horse has been taking a course
in the study of automobiles, and already
lie has a very good understanding of
4he subject. Time was when a horse
would forget his spavins, sore shoulders
or quarter-crack and would jumpasix
ibar gate at sight of one of these mon
sters. Now he can walk up to an auto,
look it in the lamps and sniff its evil
breath without breaking a trace or kick
ing in the dashboard. He can now meet
one of these benzine buggies on a lonely
road and a dark night without throwing
either a fit or his rider. The time may
he coming when the horse and the auto
will sleep in the same stable and drink
from the same bucket. There was the
trolley car. A few years ago it was the
abomination of every horse. Now the
horse would feel positively lonesome if
be had all the street to himself and did
not have liis wagon smashed now and
then as a diversion. The horse is learn
ing.
Beauty Not a Fatal Gift.
A professor in a Philadelphia business
college has informed a local reporter
that beauty is an obstacle to the employ
ment of women in business houses, says
the New York Mail. In Philadelphia, it
seems, business men do not, when they
advertise for a stenographer, add the
words: "No pretty girl need apply," but
they goon that principle. It appears
that they fear frivolity as an accompani
ment of beauty. It is possible that this
is a good and safe rule in Philadelphia,
tout it is certainly not a rule that is hon
ored here, and we doubt if it is in any
city where feminine beauty is not so
rare as to excite suspicion when it oc
curs. Nor is there the slightest ground
for the assumption that a pretty wom
an is likely to be any more frivolous
than a plain one. The gift of beauty
may, indeed, be fatal if no strength go
with it, but the newer, the sounder
chivalry of our modern time assumes
that goodness goes with beauty as nor
mally among women as it does through
out the whole gamut of nature.
Robbers attempting to hold up a Mar
ehalltown (la.) editor at midnight
showed remarkably poor judgment all
round. In the first place, they over
looked the fact that all editors are fight
ing men from the ground up. Before the
fight, was over they discovered that a
well-developed editor's skull is too thick
to be penetrated by a pistol bullet fired
even at close range. These robbers were
taking long chancs to get at the little
change an lowa editor is supposed to
have on him when going home at a
midnight hour ending his week of un
remitting toil, mad enough to fight at
the drop of the hat.

Washington, Oct. —llenry C.

Death came after nearly six hours of
unconsciousness.

fore the president made his visit.
Neither entered the sick room. As

"the sweetest, most lovable and ruost
truthful man I ever knew."

time of his death was his wife. Rev.
Dr. Dunlap, pastor of St. John's Epis

Alaskan Telegraph System Is Com
pleted—lt Contains the First Sub
marine Cable of American Manufac
ture.
Washington, Oct. 5. —Gen. Greely
has received a dispatch from Maj. Ed
gar Russell, of the signal corps, an
nouncing that the Burnside, which lias
been engaged in laying a cable from
Valdez, Alaska, buoyed the eastern
cable end at the mouth of Sitka harbor
on Monday afternoon. It will require
several days to make the shore end
connections in the narrow passage of
Sitka harbor and throw open the cable
to commercial business.
This completes the Alaskan tele
graph system which has been under
construction for the past three years,
during which time about 1,000 miles of
land lines and submarine cables have
been constructed and laid, and it
brings the Nome and Bering Strait re

the United States; over an all-American
route.

working secretly for six months Chief
of Police Davis, of this city, has un
earthed diamonds valued at $(>.500,
stolen from Mrs. Theodore A. Piatt at
New Orleans during Mardi Gras last
March. The diamonds were taken

Miss Columbia—Go Away; How Many Times Must I Tell You That I Have
Nothing for You?
TRAINED BY DAVID HILL.
Serious Accusations Brought Against
Parker by Populist Candidate
for President.
Thomas E. Watson, populist candi
date for president, is a literary man,
having written several books which
have had wide circulation. His pro
ficiency in the use of words to ex
press ideas is manifest on the stump
as well as in his published works.
One phrase which Mr. Watson em
ploys, and which is particularly ex
pressive, calls Judge Parker "Hill's
favorite pupil." The interesting part
of this appellation is its truth. As
Watson says: "Trained for 20 years
in the school of Dave Hill, it would
be a marvel indeed if the favorite pu
pil did not somewhat resemble the
master who taught him."
But the populist leader goes farther.
He charges that Parker is not only
the favorite pupil of David B. Hill,
but that he is also the stalking horse
of the corporations. With plain
speech Watson says of corporate in
fluences in the Parker campaign:
"What has been promised the Stan
dard Oil company thai its New York
agent, Pat McCarren, should have
given the greater part of his time lor
two years to the Parker campaign?
What has been promised to Belmont
that lie should have been so active in
personal work and so lavish in finan
cing the Parker campaign during the
last two years? What do these greedy
corporation hordes expect, from Par
ker? Are they doing this simply for
health and pleasure, or is it a matter
of business with them? It is high
time that the people of this country
woke up to the fact that corporate
interests represented by Belmont, Pat
McCarren, Lamont, Gorman, Carlisle
and Olney arc not in the habit of
spending their time and their money
on any candidate unless they have
good teason to believe that they will
get value received."
Again, this plain spoken populist
declares that Parker is "a false pre
tense, a dodger, a trimmer, who is
willing to get if he can the votes of
those who would never support him
if he were to say in plain English just
what his convictions are."
That is quite a series of accusations
to bring against, a candidate firr the
presidency: First, that he is the fa
vorite pupil of David B. Hill; second,
that, he is the instrument of corporate
influences, and Third, that ha is a
trimmer who is willing to suppress
his views in order to get votes. This
is not a description formulated by re
publicans. but by another party and
by the candidate of that party for the
highest office in the nation.
The Troy Times concludes that such
a candidate, nominated by the demo
crats and willing, after the St. Louis
convention had agreed to hold the
money question in abeyance, to insult
free silver men with whom he had
voted for eight years by sending a
telegram to catch the gold democratic
vote, it is not surprising that the old
Bryan democrats are in revolt against
Parker. It is a conservative estimate
that the populists will get 25,000 votes
In Uew York state this year, ami
these will be cast by democrats who
are opposed to the influences that ar?
behind Judge Parker and to the weak
ness and shiftiness which his candi
dacy has developed.
itt-Roosevelt's letter of acceptance
reads like a loaded Catling gun in ac
tion, and his political enemies are now
busy counting the holes it has. made in
their labor pretensions. It is pretty
hard to fight substance with shadow. —
Troy Labor Advocate.

mined on harmony that they are willing

O'Tho democratic campaign is not
making a serious impression anywhere,
so far as we can find out. Tom Tag
gart. may be a ;\p tl man in Indiana,

August Belmont may be a great man
in Wall street, but his influence is not
large elsewhere. According to the best

CARRIES NO CONVICTION.
Judge Parker's Latest Utterance
Shows That He Has No Hope
of Being Elected.
Hon. Alton B. Parker's letter accepting
the democratic nomination for the pres
idency is even more remarkable than
his speech to the notification committee
at Esopus.
As regards the democratic past, he
enters a plea of guilty, with some ex
tenuating circumstances. Concerning
the democratic future, especially dur
ing the four years from next March 4,
he again lays emphasis upon the fact
that the United States senate is cer
tain to remain republican, and there
fore the democrats would be unable to
do much national harm in case of a
democratic victory next November.
In a nutshell, Judge Parker declares
that the gold standard must remain
inviolate; that the tariff must not be
tinkered with if by such tinkering busi
ness conditions are to be disturbed;
that in his belief the existing laws for
the regulation of trusts are adequate;
that the Panama canal must be built
and quickly, along the route selected;
that civil service reform in the govern
mental service is here to stay.
In what wise does the position of
Judge Parker differ from that of the
republican party upon these questions?
As regards the Philippines, he would
give them a promise of independence
as soon as the natives "are reasonably
prepared for it." How gloriously in
definite this sounds, when coming from
a man to whom the democratic hosts
have looked for constructive leader
ship! And how gloriously impractica
ble such a promise seems at the present
time!
Surely, says the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Hon. Alton 13. Parker's letter is no
bugle call, it is no summons to aggres
sive action. It does not betray hope
It does not inspire confidence. Its pre
vailing tone Is one of resignation. In
a word, it seems to have been written
largely to keep the record clear.
A candidate who puts forth such a
document certainly can have no strong
expectation of victory.
Figures That Do Not Lie.
There were, according to the census,
29,074,117 persons engaged in gainful
occupations in 1000. There must be ful
ly 35',500,000 now. The income of these
people will certainly average over $2 a
day. or $20,000,000,000 annually alto
gether. The sum is probably nearer
twice that amount. But suppose we
were to lower our tariff or abolish it as
the free traders wish, our incomes would
certainly be cut into and reduced by at
least $10,000,000,000 a year. In ten years
that would be a sum equal to our total
wealth. Think of what the loss oi
$10,000,000,000 a year in incomes means
No wonder the great majority of the
people want to let well enough alone,
and put off revision either up or down
til] some ye: rs hence.
Growth of Our Export Trade.
For the lirst time in the history of the
country the exports of manufactures
have exceeded these of agriculural prod
ucts. The exports of iron, steel and cop
per have had a most remarkable growth
during a period of 31 years. In 1870 the
exports of iron and steel were only $13,-
000,000, while this year they have
reached $111,948,586. Copper has risen
from $500,000 to $57,000,000 since that
time ; mineral oils have increased from
$30,000,000 to $72,000,000; leather from
less than $1,000,000 to $33,000,000; cot
ton manufactures from less than $1,000,-
000 to $22,000,000; agricultural imple
ments, from $1,000,000 to over $22,000,-

Archbishop of Canterbury.
The convention is regarded as the
most important, ever held by the Epis
copal denomination. The proposed
legislation embraces questions of
moral reform, alterations in the eccle
siastical administration and even a
change in the name of the church it
self.
Boston, Oct. 7. —The Archbishop of
Canterbury, speaking before a joint
session of the house of bishops and
house of deputies of the Episcopal
church at Emanuel church yesterday,
delivered a message to the American
body in which he urged that the
church take steps to guard the re
ligious life of the home.
After reporting against a change in
the legal name of the church at this
time, the committee appointed by the
last convention to consider the matter
was discharged.
