Y., April 9. Political Al Interest now centers, in the Jaw office in this city of David Ben nett H1U, former Governor of New York and former United States A3 the shrewdest Democratic poli tician In Now York and the political Bponsor of Judge Alton Brooks Par ker, Mr. Hill occupies a very conspic uous position. Friends of Judge Par ker depend upon him, and Democrats from nil parts of the country are call ing upon him or writing to him about the candidacy of the New York Jurist. Mr. Hill is a very busy man those h days. His rather dingy office Is crowd- H ed dally with visiting Democrats anx- H , loua to obtain the latest inside infor f mation and to absorb Inspiration in H regard to the Parker boom. Hi Mr. Hill assures them that he has jj not relinquished his plan of having the 'a New York delegation instructed for Parker. He shows thein scores of tcl mri egraphic messages received from Dem- ocratlc leaders in Southern and West Ill ern States, saying a serious mistake ill -will be made if New York docs not In 13 A rtruct for Judge Parker. These Dern m'mr ocratie leaders In tfye South and West Bf read the remarks attributed to Justice HI c . Tnjax, to the effect that an Instructed JCCc Favor Instructions. n They write to dissent from Justice Truax's views. The entire country, they assert, is waiting to te what New York will do. If It Instructs for Parker their States are prepared to fl follow the example set ror inem. av Former President Graver Cleveland's 0,J indorsement of Judge Parker as a flt- (M ting candidate for the Democratic nomination for President is received 1 with manifestations of pleasure. It Is fl significant that Southern Democrats. fl who heretofore have professed open fl hostility to Mr. Cleveland and pro- S claimed their belief that his particlpa- H tion in the forthcoming battle would 1 be injurious to the chance of the party, W 'are first to praise his magnanimity. IM They make no secret of their belief fs" that Mr. Cleveland's attitude means v I much for the success of the party, as . veil as the candidacy of Judge Parker. They fcresee a foregathering of the as? foiccs that made the party a factor in c the rat.'on's affairs previous to the sll- ?pi yer craze of 1S9G. or Judge Parker's position today as a re- j suit of Mr, Cleveland's declaration is iAJ better than it has been at any time 1 tflnce he has been regarded as a serious A candidate. It can no longer be charged fl against Parker that he is the mere 3 creation of former Senator Hill and lJ that he would be dominated by mil if .'Stl 110 "nero elected President, Nobody be- t llovc-s that Mr. Cleveland would ex- mM tend his personal indorsement to such a man.

Let no Jar. other man step in and beat him. If tho . convention should decide that I should Enl "be nominated, then welt and good, but w otherwise I would prefer to see Parker M our next President." M i This statement is quoted hero as liav- m) ing beon made by Senator Gorman to Hi three of his Democratic associates- in H the Senate, who had called upon him ft for an exact presentation of his po9l- tion. ft "Whatever else may como out of Mr. K Cleveland's declaration there is no Hw doubt that he has taken a step which will acompllbh more toward the res-tora- HJ tion of party harmony and unity than jSA anything that has been done in a decade.

Nr EV YOPvK, April 0. Congressman Sereno E. Payne is likely to bo chairman of the Republican State convention which is called to meet next Tuesday, April 12th. Edward Lautcrbach probably "will be chairman of the. committee on resolu tions. The resolutions which will be presented for adoption by the conven tion will, it is said, be of a nature to satisfy the most exacting friend of President Roosevelt. They will recite the executive and diplomatic triumphs of the Roosevelt administration and pledge to the President the heartiest support of the Republican party In his own State. It is now said that, despite the pop ular demand for Ellhu Root as the next Republican candidate for. Gov ernor, the former Secretary of "War will not make the race. Great efTorla have beon mado to in duce him to do so, because the Repub licans recognize that they will need to put forward their best men .and place their organization in the beat possible working order if they mean to win against the Parker-McClellan-11111 combination. President Roosevelt is well aware that Hill is fixing up a programme which threatens to make New York Democratic, and the President has been anxious to get Mr. Root to make tho race for Governor. But Mr. Root is unwilling and there's an end of that.' Gen. Horace Porter, now our Embas sador at Paris, has been suggested, probabjy by President Roosevelt him self; but Senator Piatt does not take kindly to tho Idea. How Odell feels about It Is not yet known. The Presi dent thinks Gen. Porter would make a good candidate, as he Ls an effective campaigner and has been out of the country long enough' not to bo con nected with any of tho recent squab bles and caterwaullnga. The Administration continues to worry about the situation ' In New York, and all the more so now that Hill is working on his tripartite peaco scheme.

While others are lauding the Presi dent as the coming nominee of his par ty for the Presidency, Oyster Bay, his homo, will be dumb. The President's own election district has chosen no delegates to the district convention, has Instructed no one to vote for him. The election district convention was not held at Oyster Bay on the date set for it, hecauso the chairman, with tho keys to the hall in his pocket, caught the wrong train from New York city.

But Fairbanks, of Indiana, Still Has Lead With Van Sant Away Behind. Democracy Preparing to Push Fight on Lines Antagonis tic to tho President. That Party's Record on Trust and Other Questions Gives Little Hope of Success. Special to Tho Tribune. N-EW YORK, April 9. Secretary Shaw for the Vice-Presidential nomination'with President Roose ' volt, is now the talk of Wall are many who are inclined to believe that the President would pre fer some other than Senator Fairbanks for second place on the Republican ticket. One of the reasons given for the preference for Secretary Shaw 'is his shrewdness and ability In appealing persuasively to voters during a cam paign. It i not improbable, some here believe, that opinion In the Republican party, skillfully led by those who are near the President, gradually concen trates in favor of the nomination of Secretary Shaw for Vice-President. Looks More Like Fairbanks. Notwithstanding this Wall street sen timent for Secretary Shaw, it may be said that the general expectation in ad ministration circles ls that Senator Fairbanks will be the man. Mr. Fair bunks's attitude appears to be that he will neither seelc nor run away from the honor. 4. It ls 'generally understood he is waiting to have Mr. Roosevelt ask him to run, but if that la tho case he may wait a long time. The President continues to tell hiB friends that 'he will not Interfere in any way, directly or indirectly, but will leave the Vice-Presidency wholly to the convention. Consequently he cannot ask Senator Fairbanks to run, though tho nomination of the tall Indianlan would be wholly satisfactory to him. Mr. Fairbanks ls coyness personified and does not want his Indiana followers to present his name to tho convention, because that would look too much like seeking the place. But it ls the com mon belief here that he will be nomi nated Just the same. Announcement by Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota of his candidacy for the Vlce-Prcsldentlal nomination is re ceived hero as formal notification of contest for the second place upon the Republican ticket. It is believed that Mr. Roosevelt would also regard Mr. Van Sant as a satisfactory running mate. The latter possesses undoubted strength In the Northwest, has a following of his own, and obtained such a prestige through out the country from his efforts to dis solve the Northern Securtles company when that organization was first formed as to glvo h,lra a national stand ing. , It is predicted now that if Van Sant develops much strength in the imme diate future. Fairbanks will withdraw. Democratic Campaign Plans. Speeches of Democratic members in tho House and Senate Indicate that the Democrats will make an offensive cam paign. The President will be charged with imperialistic tendency, with being headstrong and generally lacking in conservatism. To bolster up their own claim to con servatism the Democrats intend to adopt a platform that will differ from that of the preceding Presidential de clarations of principles. They will de clare for large expenditure for internal Improvements, as opposed to increases in the army and navy. The tariff will be treated as a subordinate proposition. In such a campaign the President will not lack for the most ardent supporters. The Republicans aro not only content to stand by the Administration, but welcome the challenge to battle. Their chief strength will come from the Presi dent's unswerving regard for the public welfare, and In such a contest as la now threatening they feel they have little to . fear. Thero ls small hope that the Demo crats can succeed in convincing the voters that the trusts own the Republi can iparty and Its national candidate. The choice of the American people for their next President will be determined by their Judgment as to what President In the Executive office and what party in Congress will bo most likely not only not to reverse this Government's polloy of regulating the oppressive powers of corporate monopoly, but to go on with the work begun by President Roosevelt and the Republican Congress acting with him In behalf of the public. Record on Trust Question. Small comfort can there be for Demo crats in the nomination of Judge Park er, from the point of view of his pos sible election. Tho record of the Demo cratic Judlclury on the trust question is so emphatically Inclined to tho advan tage of tho trusts that It cannot fail to Impress the shortest-sighted voter with the hopelessness of expecting Federal action by Democrats In tho Judicial, legislative or administrative branches of tho Government for the curbing of combinations in rcGtrait of trade. If Judgo Parker, having won tho nomination, ls to be the candidate of his party for election, ho must ask for the suffrages of tho American people In the face of the recently-written record, where, in the decision of the Supremo court against the Northern Paclilu mer ger, every Democratic Judge on that highest court of the land gave an opin ion against tho Judgment w,JUi dis solved the merger jjJflBBfl ATTACKS BIBLE AND W AROUSES STORM OF ; INDIGNATION.

Cai.on Hcnson, ll one of the chief dignitaries of jjll Westminster abbey, and a select fl preacher of both Oxford and Cam- fH bridge universities, has raised a storm IH of criticism by an article in the Con- LH temporary Review, in which he entered lfl into the question of the future of the ll In this article Canon Hcnson lm- Ijl pugns the Inspiration of the Old Testa- , nient, referring to "Its incredible, puer- ll lie or demoralizng narratives," which ' IH are regarded as being "a pack of lies i too gross for toleration."

I 1 Sir Oliver Lodge, the distinguished H scientist, added fuel to the fire by an H article entitled "Suggestions Toward H the Rcinterpretatlon of the Christian H Doctrine." H This agitation for revised Christian- H Ity led by such well-known men. whose il religious principles even their critics do IIH not dispute, threatens to stir Hip lll cburch to an unprecedented degree. iH Canon Henson declares that "inspl- 1 H ration" is now not "allowed to certify H to the truth of any statement in the 1 H Bible which cannot be substantiated at ( H the bar of reason and evidence." j B In the New Testament he finds lit- j H tic to offend reason or conscience, "but. i whether much or little, it will have to IH go the way of tho Old Testament prod- ItmtmM lfl Suggests a Substitute. jH He recommends supplementing the jH reading of the Bible In church with jH "Christian compositions hlch have IH secured the approval of general ae- H ceptance," declaring that "indlscrlml- IH n ate reading of the Bible in public is H an extremely perilous proceeding," and H adding that "tho rigidity which re- Btrlcts the modern English church to IH canonical scriptures is as indefensible H as it is practically mischievous." H Despite its misuse, Canon Henson H holds that the Bible will continue for all time to be the "best manual of fun- H damental morality and the best cor- f H rective of ecclesiastical corruption," be- i ll sides being the "most effectual cheek IH on ths materialistic tendencies of mod- IH ern life." ! Ifl In a striking analysis of the present tmW social condition. Canon Hcnson attrtb- mMM utes the spread of anarchy, the "ulcer mtMM that Is eating the vitals of society," to jH the disappearance over large areas of IH civilized life of the religious bases of IH morality." Yet he finds an excuse for IH these "non-moral multitudes." who ( IH "from the cradle to the grave have faced the severe pressure of competi- H tion. the squalor of poverty and the , IH miserable exigencies of unmerited ' jH want,"' and who "inevitably comparw IH their condition with the ostentation of IH unearned wealth, the profusion of un- i checked luxury and the Insolence of . unchastened power." The canon says that when It is re- . t Jl mcmbered that "these cruel, shocking ttmM contrasts are no longer regarded with IB the dull stare of fatalistic Ignorance, ftM but In the full light of those doctrines of equality which are the common I pluces of democratic politics," it Is no r( wonder that "the minds of thousands ure predisposed toward the sophistries of anarchy."

' H really built on an empty tomb? For. , : ; H myself I prefer to believe that no sucli , tMM intimate vital connection exists be- twecn the truth of Christianity and the 1 traditional notions of Its historical ori- I gins." lij jfl Sir Oliver Lodge asks, "now that re- ' 'B llgion ls becoming so much more real," ' iH whether the "formal statement of some lH of the doctrines we have inherited from 'fl mediaeval and still earlier times can- , ' " MtU not wisely and Inoffensively be modi- , fied?"
