AX ASTI-PARK Bit COMBI* ATIOX.
It is impossible to decide from any
thing which has appeared in the dis
patches or the New York newspapers
whether Senator Gorman and Col.
Guffey succeeded in forming an anti-
Parker combination on the occasion of
their vi3it to New York last week. One
report is that they did form such a
combination, and another is that they
failed to do so because they couldn’t
agree upon an available man as can
didate for the nomination.
It seems there was a good deal of
talk to the effect that Mayor McClel
lan was the most available man, but
as for as known there was a lack of
harmony in the combination in regard
to him—assuming of course that a
combination was formed.
Col. Guffey is quoted as saying that
no combination has been formed, and
that Pennsylvania's sixty-eight dele
gates are free to support the candidate
that seems to have the best chance of
winning. He is quoted as saying that
Pennsylvania will go to tit. Coins
"ready and willing to join with her
sister states in selecting candidates
who would bring success to the Demo
cratic party of the country.”
That has the right ring, and if Col.
Guffey is sincere he Witt not enter into
an anti-Parker combination. Asa
matter of fact Pennsylvania can not
give the Democratic ticket an electoral
vote, and therefore should not take a
stand against the states which can
give it electoral votes. It would
be conspicuously unjust if those states
which are hopelessly Republican should
enter into a combination to defeat the
choice for the nomination of those
states which give Democratic majori
ties and from which Democratic ma
jorities are expected.
There is an impression that Col.
Guffey would come out boldly for
Judge Parker at once if he were as
sured that he could have the chairman
ship of the Democratic National Com
mittee, and hence the management of
the campaign. The Parker managers,
however, are not yet ready to select
a campaign manager. It will be time
enough to do that when it is known
just what Judge Parker’s strength is.
There are still a good many states to
be heard from and quite a number of
ambitious politicians who are anxious
to swap their influence and support for
promises of positions in the event of
the nomination and election of Judge
Parker.
It is not improbable that much of the
talk of combinations against Judge
Parker is due to the desire for a more
conspicuous position in the councils of
the party rather than to a doubt of his
availability. Some of the leaders seem
to think that in -the event of
Judge Parker’s success ex-Sena
tor Hill would be the power be
hind the throne, and that they
would, on that account, have to occupy
a seat in the background. It is noto
riously the fact that Mr. Murphy, the
Tammany leader, has no objection to
Judge Parker. He is opposing his
nomination simply because he doesn't
like Mr. Hill, and it is well known that
Senator Gorffian doesn't like Mr. Hill.
Col. Guffey probably has no dislike of
Mr. Hill, but he wants to know what
prospect there is that his wishes will
be respected before he announces the
preference of the Pennsylvania delega
tion.
WHY Cl MMltfU* WAS CHOSE*.
It is well understood in political cir
cles why the President selected Hen
ry F. Cummings, of Baltimore, a ne
gro lawyer, to make a speech in the
Republican National Convention, sec
onding his nomination for President.
He wants the negroes throughout the
country to understand that they have
a staunch friend at the White House.
It is admitted by the ablest of the
Republican politicians that the elec
tion for President will be a close one,
if the Democrats make no mistake at
St. Louts. The result of the campaign
may turn on the negro vote, which is
large in Ohio, Indiana, New York,
Massachusetts and some of the other
states. There is a big negro vote In
New Jersey, a close state, and also
in Connecticut. It is apparent that
the president is going to try to cap
ture the entire negro vote In the doubt
ful states. In view of the fact that
he has taken a negro from Maryland
to second his nomination it is prob
able that he has hopes of carrying that
state.
There is no doubt of course that the
fact that a negro seconded the nomi
nation of Mr. Roosevelt will be made
much of in the campaign in alj the
states where such an incident is cal
culated to do the Republican party
good. It will be used to bring out
every negro voter for the Republican
ticket In all of the doubtful states.
It Is said there was a great deal of
competition among negro orators in
various parts of the country when it
became known that the President
wanted one to speak for him at the
Chicago convention. The exact reasons
for selecting Cummings, of Baltimore,
for the place isn't known, but it is
supposed that the fact that a Repub
lican has succeeded to the office of
mayor of that city Inspires the hope
that the negroes can be registered in
sdeh numbers that the Republicans
will stand a chance of carrying the
state.
Will the fact that a negro whs
chosen by the President to second his
nomination have the effect of caus
ing him to lose white votes in any
of the doubtful states? That Is a
question that doesn’t seem to have
been Investigated. If a point were
made of It in the campaign It is prob
able that It might influence some vot
ers against him. but not enough to off
set the benefits the President expects
to gain by this political move on his
part.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JUNE 7. 1004.
THE PHICE OF CQTTOX.
It is too soon of course to say with
any degree of certainty what the size
of the cotton crop for the season of
1904-5 will be. but the bears have suc
ceeded in creating the impression that
it will be a record-breaking one. Their
estimate is that it will be fully 12,000,000
bales.
Of course they have been assisted In
creating this impression by the cotton
crop report issued by the government
the latter part of last week. That re
port showed an increase in the acreage
planted in cotton over last year of 0.8
per cent., or about 2.823,016 acres. It
also showed that on May 26, the aver
age condition of the crop was more
than eleven points better than the crop
of last year was at the same time of
the year.
Naturally such a report had a de
pressing effect on the price of cotton.
The fact must not be overlooked, how
ever, that there is plenty of time yet
for the crop to be badly damaged by
the weather. It has already suffered
considerable damage, in a part of the
Atlantic coast section of the cotton belt
from the dry weather which prevailed
before the showers of last week.
It has been the impression among cot
ton planters that even if the crop for
the present season should be a record
breaking one the price of cotton would
not fall much, if any, below 12 cents a
pound, and at planting time they
thought the chances were in favor of
its being considerably above that price,
owing to the fact that the crops of
1902-3 and 1903-4 were short ones. It is
probable that the impression would
prove to be correct if all the conditions
were normal, but, as a matter of fact,
cotton mills have not been able to sell
their products freely and at profitable
prices for several months, for the rea
son that the prices of them, owing to
the price of cotton, have been so high
that merchants have not been able to
dispose of their stocks. The people
have just so much money with which
to purchase cotton goods. When the
prices are low the consumption of such
goods is much larger than when they
are high. Many of the cotton mills are
now closed and others are closing,
showing that the consumption of cotton
goods is not nearly up to the average.
Therefore there promises to be a good
deal of the cotton and cotton products
on hand at the opening of the new sea
son in September. If this should prove
to be the case, the price of cotton, when
the new crop begins to come to market,
may be disappointing to cotton grow
ers. However, there is very little, it
any, probability that the price will fall
below 10 cents a pound. It begins to
look as if the speculators who held
cotton, with the expectation that it
would go to 20 cents a pound, made a
serious mistake. A few months ago the
price was many points higher than It is
now, and higher than it will be again
tor a good while.
TOO MUCH POLITICS.
Florida will have her second pri
mary to-day, and, of course, a decision
as to the candidates will be reached,
but wouldn’t it be advisable to amend
the primary election law so that the
candidates having a plurality of the
votes in the first primary shall be de
clared the nominees of the party? Of
course, the election which takes place
later will not amount to much because
there will be no opposition, or if there
is it will not attract much attention,
but the time may come very soon when
there will be an opposition party, and
then if there ihas to be two primaries
to settle the question of the nominees,
to be followed by a campaign between
opposing parties, the time of the peo
ple will be occupied pretty nearly a
whole year with politics. That is too
much time to give to campaigns and
elections every time a governor, state
house officers and congressmen are to
be elected.
The campaign which ends to-day has
been an exciting one -and has taken
the attention of the people from their
businesses and occupations. Not only
that, but it has aroused a great deal
of bitter feeling. Of course, we must
expect there will be antagonisms in a
heated political contest, but, as a rule,
these antagonisms disappear with the
closing of the campaign. Therefore,
the campaigns ought to be short. They
ought not to be so arranged as to
cover the greater part of the year in
which they are held.
Because the Deruooratic party has no
opposition In state and local affairs
that Is worth speaking of there will
be peace in Florida until another pri
mary campaign takes place, but if
there were a, strong opposition party
the candidates which have been chosen
by the Democrats would have to begin
ait once a campaign for the offices for
which they have been nominated.
It is probable, of course, that a large
vote will be polled to-day, because ex
traordinary interest has been aroused
In the campaign, but under ordinary
circumstances the vote would be small,
showing that the people feel that two
campaigns and two elections for nomi
nating candidates for office Is too much
of a burden to impose upon them.
Senator Taliaferro, for Instance, got
a large majority over every one of the
candidates for senator, but he didn't
get a majority of all the votes oast.
The election showed that he was the
choice of a large plurality of the peo
ple. Still, the expense and trouble of
another election has to be incurred. In
making nominations a plurality ought
to be sufficient.
It seems that the United States gov
ernment might quickly solve the Per
dlcarls problem and take that gentle
man out of danger of his life by pay
ing the Indemnity demanded by the
bandits, and then notifying Morocco
that she must return the money, with
Interest, or take the consequences.
There is at Washington a secret serv
ice fund that might be drawn upon
In the emergency without waiting for
congreaalonal action. The navy cannot
go into the mountains of Morocco to
chase the bandits, hut it oould make
matters mighty unpleasant for the Mo
rocean government by throwing a few
shells into Tangier.
The irreverent Greenville, 8. C.,
News thinks possibly the reason men
do not attend church In larger num
bers Is that they ''or* not so deeply

This is the eighteenth week of the
war between Russia and Japan. Four
months and a week ago the Japanese
fleet struck at Port Arthur and dealt a
staggering blow to t)he enemy. Russia
has sustained other reverses since that
time, but her power In the Far East
has not collapsed like a house of cards,
as was predicted in some quarters
would be the case. Her power has
been weakened, it is true, but 1t still
exists, and may be counted on to re
main militant for some months to
come. The situation now appears to
bt 'that the contestants are taking
something of a breathing spell, with
one party besieged at Port Arthur and
the other the besieger. 1 It' seems to
be written in the book of doom that
Port Arthur must fall; at what cost
is the only question. Meanwhile the
rainy season is approaching, and when
it rains in Manchuria the roads are
rendered practically impassable, es
pecially for heavy guns and baggage
trains. This is to -the disadvantage
of Japan, for while she will be unable
to push her advantage, Russia can
utilize the rainy season for bringing
tens of thousands of her soldiers from
her European provinces as far east as
Lake Baikal, or even farther. At the
end of the rainy season, therefore,
Russia may be in a far better posi
tion than she is at present.
What hit Hitt? It seems that he has
been knocked out. Nobody is now say
ing anything about him for the Re
publican vice presidential nomination,
notwithstanding he has declared he
wants the honor, and at one time it
looked us if he were the only promi
nent Republican who could be induced
to take the nomination. But adminis
tration circles have dropped him, if in
deed they ever had him up. The sug
gestion has been thrown out that he is
"too old and classical” to suit the
President, who likes the rugged "Joe"
Cannon of Illinois better. But Speaker
Cannon says he wouldn't take the nom
ination if offered to him on a gold
salver. Meanwhile Senator Fairbanks
of Indiana has intimated that he has
changed his mind and is willing to run
with Roosevelt.
Following the appearance the other
day of a woman who claimed to be the
widow of the late William C. Whitney,
there was printed in one or more of
the sensational New York afternoon
papers a story suggesting that Mr.
Whitney had died from the effects of
a bullet wound. Dr. William T. Bull
and Dr. James, Mr. Whitney's family
physicians, declare there Is not the
slightest foundation for any such
story.
PERSONAL.
—United States Senator Chauncey M.
Depew is credited with the statement
that "a man who has acquired his
business qualifications in a railroad of
fice will make a success anywhere.”
—Shortly after the late Franz Len
bach had painted the portrait of Em
peror Wilhelm Ia privy councilor call
ed on him to express the Emperor's
satisfaction. There was only one criti
cism to make—would the professor be
so kind as to paint mqre distinctly the
buttons on the uniform, which were
only indicated vaguely? Lenbach
looked at him a moment over
his glasses and said: "Look here, Mr.
Councilor, I paint heads, not buttons
(ich mal' nur kopf, aber keine knopf')!
Tell his majesty that!” The Emperor,
when this answer was brought to him,
laughed heartily.

CURRENT COMMENTS.
The New York Times (Dem.), says:
“Mayor McClellan is doing very well
where he Is—too well to please some of
Mr. Murphy's friends in Tammany hall.
The advocacy of Mr. McClellan's nomi
nation coming from the Ups of Mur
phy's friends at the same time that
Murphy's aldermen are carrying on a
fight against the Mayor creates an im
pression of false pretense and bad faith
which It would require a good deal of
evidence to remove.”
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.),
says: "Bryan Democrats in the East
are getting circulars printed In Lincoln,
Neb., calling for a Populist National
Convention on July 4 next. The Infer
ence is that If the Populists do not like
the results of the St. Louis convention
they will put up a ticket of their own.
This is highly encouraging. In 1892
they did not like the Democratic candi
date, nominated Gen. Weaver and gave
him more than a million votes, but the
result was a Democratic victory. In
1898 and 1900 they thoroughly approved
the candidate and the platform of the
Democratic party, which was defeated
In consequence.”
The Galveston News (Dem.), says:
“In the Nebraska Democratic conven
tion Delegate John Murty from Clay
county rose and read resolutions pledg
ing the Nebraska Democracy to the
national ticket selected at St- Louts re
gardless of what that might be, and
moved its adoption. It was seconded,
but the chairman refused to put the
motion, declaring It out of order.
Standing alone, this might not be deem
ed especially significant, but remember
-1 ing that Mr. Bryan has declined to
pledge himself to support the work
done at St. Louis, and that he Is re
ported to have left off the list the name
of one of his friends who favored such
pledge, one Is led to fear that some of
the Nebraskans are bent on bolting.”
The Houston (Tex.) Post (Dem.),
says: "We have no reason to doubt
that In time there would be interesting
divisions In the political thought of the
South, but for the presence of the ne
groes. It Is true, as the Sun asserts,
before the war. there were sharp di
visions of political sentiment In nearly
all the Southern states. But these di
visions will not come again merely
through Northern Immigration, fur
while men are white men, no matter
where they are born. Northern people
are quickly absorbed into the general
body of Southern citizenship, few re
taining their former political afflifn
tlons. The great revolution In Southern
political sentiment which the Sun
would like to see may never come, but
It Is certain not to com# eo long ns
there are U.OOflplfX) negroes In the South.
And It la quite certain that the negroej
will be with u for generations to come.
If not forever.”
Xewaboy Wanted Cash.
A Vanderbilt, it seems, may make
large purchases on credit, says the
Philadelphia Record. When It comes
to small ones It is another matter. Mrs.
Reginald Vanderbilt, out at the Horse
Show, happened to think she would like
to look Into the catalogue, and, not see
ing one iri her box, she went down to
the table where they are sold and pick
ed one up. The man in charge of the
table said: “A quarter, madam.” She
answered; "I have no change; I am
Mrs. Vanderbilt,” evidently thinking
the name good for the entire amount.
The man consented to be stood off. Not
so a small newsboy whom she patron
ized to the extent of a cent. In relat
ing the event later, when he had been
told all about it. the budding merchant
broke vehemently forth:
"Wot was I to know about it? How
could I tell she was a Wanderwtlk?
Anyhow, I does dis bisness on a strick*
ly cash basis. It’s a case of no mon
no pape. Interductions may be all
right all right ir. saweiety, but wen
yer want to buy a ting yer got to put
up de rocks. Huh; Dat waz de greates'
bslness prop’sition yet! To pay for
de pape she lets me in on her name,
like it was a sure tip on de winner. No
wonder men says wirnmen are away
behin’ de ban' wagon when It comes ter
bisness. Chubbsy dere says I was a
chump. If I’d trusted ’er she might
of given me a quarter nex’ time she
sen me. Dat goes for a pipe dream.
Wen am I goin’ to see ’er again?”
The boy finished thus disgustedly
quite as if he realized that he and his
customer did not move in the same cir
cles. But he, wilh half a dollar's
worth of papers under his arm,
couldn't even take into consideration
the "penniless” Mrs. Vanderbilt.
When Slowcure Got Gay.
As Sloweurve was walking with his
wife through West Twelftn street a
baseball bounded from the asphalt
pavement and narrowly missed a plant
Mrs. Sloweurve was carrying home,
says the New York Press.
‘ The little imps,” she exclaimed an
giil) . "They deserve a good whipping."
"Nonsense,” retorted Sloweurve. 'I
used to do the same thing myself. Boys
roast play ball somewhere.”
“Throw It up, mister,” shouted a lad
half a block awav.
Sloweurve picked up the ball and
walked to the middle of the street with
11. He swung his arms and facetiously
went through the motions of a league
pitcher.
"Come away from there," pleaded
Mrs. Sloweurve. "Roll that ball back
without making an idiot of yourself.”
"Let her come, mister,” yelled the
boy.
Ore more sweep of the arm and Slow
eurve let go the ball. There was a
crash of glass. The ball disappeared
inside the front window of a boarding
house and the boys disappeared around
the corner.
"That will cost you $3!” shouted an
irate woman, coming to the front doo:
‘ I was watching you from tne window.
As if it isn’t bad enough to have the
boys playing in the streets, without a
great, big lummux like you encourag
ing them. Your wife ought to keep
you home.”
Never Missed 4he Point,
“Horse races are heroic, hence the
fascination,” said Bourke Cockran to a
New York Times reporter recently. ‘ The
fact is sometimes ignored by persons
who condemn the sport. Recently I
played rather a sorry trick upon one
of them, a clergyman. As an eye
witness I described the running of the
Metropolitan handicap, and to make It
more Interesting colored it a bit by
depicting how Irish Lad was chal
lenged repeatedly from the start, and
How the race was In doubt up to the
last moment. I left the field a few
jumps from the finish. Then I said:
“ ‘A famous horseman declared once
that a race horse, pure and simple,
is of interest to only three persons—
the kid that rides him, the lobster that
betr. on him and the that owns
him.’
'Yes, yes!' replied the cleigyman.
Impatiently, 'but which of those horses
won on that day you spoke of?’ ”
Yes, He Had a Nose.
A friend of Senator Patrick M. Mc-
Carren of Brooklyn told the following
story about him, according to the New
York Times, at the Hoffman House a
few days ago:
Senator MeCarren went Into a restau
rant near the Capitol in Albany a few
weeks ago and ordered some fish. When
It was placed before him he sat back in
his chair and looked indignant.
“What do you mean by bringing such
fish to a gentleman?" he asked of the
colored waiter.
“Bes' fish In Albany, Sah,” he re
plied.
“Have vou such a thing as a nose?"
Inquired the Senator angrily.
“Deed I has. Sah.” said 'he waiter
"Well, can’t you smell the fish
then?”
“Smell de fish, Sah?" repeated the
waiter. “I’se been smellln’ de fish fer
a week.”
Maine Honpftnlatlty.
"To the town of Norrldgewook, in
Maine,” said the Rev. Minot J. Sav
age, “a strange minister >nce came to
rreach. He preached duly, and, after
the sermon was over, he mit.gled with
the congregation, expecting that some
on.' would invite him to dinner.
“One by one, however, the congrega
tion departed, offering the hungry min-
Ister no hospitality, and he began to
feel anxious. Where was he to eat?
“As the last deacon was leaving the
church the minister rushed up to hin
and shook him warmly by the hand.
“ ‘I want you to come home and dine
with me,’ the minister said.
"'Why, where do you live?’ said the
deacon.
“ 'About thirty miles from here.’
“The deacon reddened. 'Oh. you come

From the New York Globe.
Suppose a seat Is empty when
You get upon a car.
It doesn’t really matter then
How mannerless you are.
If you whistle, lounge or cross your
knees
It will not come amiss.
And you may sit on either end
Like
This or This.
But when at last the ear has stopped
To let a lady on,
With all the grace of etiquette
Your manners you must don.
Smile, bow, remove your headpiece to
The Missus or the Miss,
Then courteously hunch along
And sit
Like This.
As other passengers get on
Retain your will to please;
It is not right that civil folk
Should stumble on your knee*.
Invite Intruders to Vour seat,
As though the act were bliss.
Until they've shoved you clear across.
To sit like This.
Now comes the final act to test
Your breeding to the core.
Six people occupy the seat.
Although 'twas made for four.
Btlll with unflinching courtesy
Restrain your angry hiss.
Although, like canned sardines,
You'reforoedtositllkeThls
Wallses Irwin.
Rheumatism
What is the use of telling the rheumatic
that he feel* as if his Joints were being dis
located ?
He knows that his sufferings are very
much like the tortures of the rack.
What he wants to know is wbat will per
manently care his disease.
That, according to thousands of grateful
testimonials, Is
Hood’s Sarsaparilla
It promptly neutralizes the acid in the
blood on which the disease depends, com
pletely eliminates it, and strengthens the
system against its return. Try Hood’s.

IX OLDEN TIMES
People Were Content to Take Tilings
Easier Than Now.
If our forefathers could behold the
modern locomotives, automobiles and
electric cars, they would hold up their
hands in astonishment.
The stage-coach was fast enough
then—people were more content to
take things easy.
They used to be satisfied with anv
sort of a hair lotion that came along
—if it did not prevent Baldness they
thought it was because Baldness could
not be prevented.
Its different now. People know that
germs cause baldness and that New
bro's Herpicide kills the germ, thus
