Judge Parker has never been beaten
for a political otfice and he never
.will be.
The Japanese fighting front is said
to be 120 miles long. Every few miles
It is very hot.
The Chicago Chronicle started in to
run Bryan out of the democratic par
ty, but it seems that Bryan has run
the Chronicle out. And the best of it
that everybody seems to be satisfied.
Judge Parker has been a life long
and consistent democrat, a man of
sound views and moral courage, with
firmness of character that will com
mand the respect and confidence of
the people. Conservative and inde
pendent citizens throughout the union
will be glad of the opportunity of
voting for him.
After reading his joke book, a re
publican editor writes that the demo
crats may lose in 1004 because the
hall in which Parker was nominated
in St. Louis was on Thirteenth street.
He might have gone further and said
that thirteen people had entered the
convention before the fourteenth got
in. Oh, these superstitous cut -tips!
Emanating from the J sources
from which came prior to the demo
cratic national convention, all sorts of
rumors designed to cause mischief,
and reflecting upon the good faith of
the Illinois delegation, and the impos
sible attitude of certain distinguished
members of the delegation, now come
reports that followers of Bryan are
planning a bolt of the St. Louis ticket
and an alliance with the populists. As
was the case in the former instance,
these announcements, are as a matter
of fact without the slightest founda
tion, the wish being father to the
thought, ami that is the beginning and
the end of it. The only bolt that has
developed from the action of the dem
ocratic national convention is that of
the Chicago Chronicle, which for eight
years has proven such a nuisance that
democrats were getting ready to read
it out anyway.
Good Itiddance.
The Chicago Chronicle has parted
company with the democrat ic party
and allied itself with the republican
party, uccording to editorial announce
ment appearing in its columns this
morning. The Chronicle has de
serted the democratic party be
cause that paper's dictations were
unavailing in the national con
vention at St. Louis, and because
the party declined to refuse consiilera
tion to the twice chosen leader of the
party in a national campaign, in ex
planation of its attitude, the Chronicle
declares :
"It is bad enough to have .Mr. Bryan
dominating radical democratic conven
tions. When Mr. Bryan is able to si
lence a "conservative" democratic con
vention the situation becomes intoler
able. A mixture of William Jennings
Bryanism and David B. Hillism is in
supportable. "The Chronicle is not in sympathy
with Mr. Bryan's ideas. For eight
years it has refused to believe that
Mr. Bryan's ideas were acceptable to
the real democrats of the country.
The result at St. Louis appears to
end the discussion. He and Hill an
in control. He and Hill have named
the ticket and made the platform.
"A timid eastern democrat, who
fondly imagined that he could be nom
inated as an unknown, has been placed
on the ticket with an octogenarian
free silverite from West Virginia and
supplied with a platform which
amounts to an indorsement of the plat
forms of Chicago and Kansas City.
The populist ic west and the reaction
ary south are again in alliance, with a
new leader it is true, but with no
change in principle and purpose. The
ticket bears the stamp of populism.
There is not a plank in the platform
which was not modified by populism.
"The democratic party is attached
to Bryanism. It is subservient to
Bryan. It has been persuaded against
its natural inclinations to nominate
an unknown candidate whom Bryan
has antagonized, but it has permitted
Bryan to do the rest. The democratic
party is Bryan and there is no reason
to suppose that its triumph under the
leadership of a man who voted twice
for Bryan and free silver, and boasted
of it. would be anything else than a
triumph for Bryan.
"Disagreeing fundamentally with
this leader and this party in moat
tilings and agreeing with the republi
can party in the essentials of its creed.
The Chronicle today takes leave of the
democratic party and allies itself with
the republicans."
There will be no tears shed by
loyal democrats at this parting- If
ever there was a nuisance and a men
ace to a great party the Chicago
Chronicle has. since it came into ex
istence, borne that relation to the
democratic party. Pretending to es
pouse the principles of democracy, it
has been an exponent of plutocracy
and hence the handmaid of republi
canism. It has always been violently
opiosed to the democratic organiza
tion and candidates in Cook county
and in Chicago, and notwithstanding
that iis efforts have been futile, the
fact that it pretended to be democra'
l. has made it dangerous to an extent
at least, and if it had some influence
among democrats, happily it will not
have henceforth. The party has long
been weary of its dyspeptic grunt and
complaint, and must regard its with
drawal as a most healthful sign. The
republican party is welcome to the
rhroniele and all that goes with it.
It need hardly be said that ihe Chron
icle will find the paths that it has
chosen more familiar, its relations
more congenial and its labors more
consistent with its cause than has
been the case with it up to this time.
Union With Honor.
St. Louis Republic: The demo
cratic party has agreed uion a plat
form. The act marks a triumphant
union of democratic hosts. Every ele
ment of the party has been allowed
full participation in the deliberations.
Bvery sentiment has been considered,
and every claim and contest allowed
full development and value.
There have been strong presenta
tions of views. An earnest hearing
has been given to all questions and
differences. In the end the entire
representation of the party has uni
ted in a conclusion. Democracy, like
t great and indissoluble family, has
settled its differences and found that
on vital issues it is one. It is a glo
rious consummation and one gratify
ing to every true democrat in this
broad nation.
The result is a platform to meet
the approval of every worthy class
and interest in the union. It declares
the fundaments! principles f the
party as they affct immediate prol-b-nis
of national life.
The platform as it stands is com
prehensive as to all matters and, in
the opinion of the united convention,
conclusive upon these matters of
present-day importance. The live is
sues have been adequately, sanely and
satisfactorily treated. Democratic
union without dissent embodies sanity
and understanding. The platform is
its complete expression. The treat
ment of the vital issues will accord
with the better and larger public
opinion of the country. The party
has taken the best ground.
As to honesty and economy in gov
ernment, as to the trust and tariff
evils ami the menace of imperialism.
democracy's attitude meets the tests
of conservatism and intelligence. It
is a progressive and vigorous, but
prudent .democracy which is defined
in the platform.
Nothing more significant has mark
ed Jhe politics of this nation for many
decades than the amicable consolida
tion of all the elements of the demo
cratic party. It is an event which
cannot be magnified: an event the im
portanee of which cannot be exagger
ated, it will have pronounced effect
upon the country's career. It cannot
fail now to be the subject of widest
rejoicing by the democrats of all sec
tions. Democracy's days of estrange
ment are over. It is now indivisible
and indivisibility means invincibility.

Brutally Tortured.
A case came to light that for per
sistent and unmerciful torture has
perhaps never been equaled. Joe Gol
obick. of Colusa, Cal.. writes: "For 15
years I endured insufferable pain from
rheumatism and nothing relieved me.
though I tried everything known. I
came across Electric Bitters, and it's
the greatest medicine on earth for
that trouble. A few bottles of it com
pletely relieved and cured me." Just
as good for liver and kidney troubles
and general debility. Only 50 cents.
Satisfaction guaranteed by Hartz &
Ullemeyer, druggists.
Piles Upon Top of Piles.
Piles upon top of piles of people
have the piles, and DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve cures them. There are
many different kinds of piles, but if
you get the genuine and original Witch
Hazel Salve made by E. C. DeWitt &
Co.. of Chicago, a cure is certain. H.
A. Tisdale. of Summerton, S. C. says.
' I had piles 20 years and DeWitt s
Salve cured me after everything else
failed."
DAILY SHORT STORY
My Changeable Lover.
(Original. 1
I have a lover.
My lover's name is Jack. Jack Is at :
times feminine, at times masculine.
Strange to say. I like my lover best
When be is feminine. 1 suppose, to be
strictly grammatical. I should say j
"when she is feminine." but there is 1
no word in the English language which
stands for "be or she.' We use "he"
at times to stand for both. Therefore
whether he is acting like a man or a
woman I shall call him "he."
Sometimes Jack pays me compli
ments, sometimes tells me the truth -if
it is the truth blurting it out sud
denly and gruffly. He often criticises
my dress, at times approving of my
-oslume, at times deer ring it. 1 was
dresed for a ball the other evening
and, suddenly looking up, saw Jack re
garding me intently. As my gaze met
his nn expression of admiration sud
denly lighted up his face.
"Ton are very pretty, dear," he said.
"I'm glad you like my costume." I
replied. "Have you any suggestions?"
"It Is perfect. You might take that
rose from over your right temple anil
put it farther back. There: that will
do. It is a great Improvement."
I walked away from him, turning
my head, while he kept bis eye fixed on
the rose.
"Very pretty," he snid. "And your
train follows you gracefully. You are
sure to have plenty of attention this
evening. Your card will be filled be
fore you have been In the ballroom ten
minutes Then, when the fellows come
up and ask for a dance, you will n--
your head, hold out jour card and note
their disappointment. It will be de
lightful." If Jack would always talk to me like
this I would like him better. But he
doesn't. Sometimes he looks at me In a
most unsatisfactory way and says
what he looks.
"You're a dowdy looking thing." he
said to me the other day. "That dress
hangs on you In wrinkles and makes
you appear as old as your grandmoth
er." "Well, I can t help it," I replied.
"Mine. B. has tried three times to fit
me and failed every time. She'll not
have another chance."
This is where Jack Is feminine, when
he Is prattling about dress. But some
times he talks to me ubout my good
and vetk points. He Is very change
able I read him some verses lately that
I had Just written, und ho was in ec
Btadea over them. I read them to him
again in a week, and he called them
rubbish.
Jack's only rival is Ernest Field. He
is very different from Jack, being al
ways manly. He rarely notices my
dress or compliments me. but when he
does I prise it far more than Jack's
shifting opinions. I read him the
verses that Jack at first admired, then
called rubbish. He listened respectful
ly till 1 got through, then said. "Very
pretty," In a bored kind of a way.
"Shall we go for a walk 7"
I could have scratched out bis eyes.
After that Jack called hie a fool to
waste my time dribbling over common
place sentimental rhymes. Occasional
ly he Is very sensible, but I have no
ticed that I get the benefit of his good
sense after Finest has rapped me over
the knuckles. The next time I saw Er
nest I told him that I was ashamed of
my poetic effusion and would not of
fend again.
"Your verses are much better thau
the average," he said, " but only a gen
ius can avoid being commonplace in
verse."
Yesterday Ernest told me that be
would call this evening and would
have something very especial to say to
me. It quite took my breath away, for
I knew very well what that something
would be. How could I give up Jack?
When Ernest was announced I had
been ready and waiting for him half
an hour. It was the longest half hour
I had ever known. Jack and I were
reading I was pretending to read at
the time in the library. I looked up
from my book, ami Jack looked up at
the same moment. He knew what I
was waiting for, and I saw him shiver.
There was a sharp ring at the bell, a
heavy step In the hall it seemed as if
un undertaker had come to measure
me and the maid came in to tell me
that Mr. Field was in the drawing
room. I gave Jack a half assuring
look and went to meet my fate, what
ever it might he, for I was in a state
of Indecision.
I hoped Ernest would lead up to
what he had to say gradually, but he
didn't. lie began by saying that it bet
ter understanding should exist between
two !;. who had been so much to
gether, and he had called to do his part
in bringing that understanding alout.
That part was to tell me that he loved
me and wished me to be his wife.
Perhaps It was the way he did It.
At any rate, I said after a short si
lence that he was too late: that I al
ready had a lover who was the only
one to whom I could entirely give my
self. I was very sorry if ho had con
strued a friendliness on my part to
mean love. I had not intentionally
misled him.
The expression that came over his
face was one of terrible disappoint
ment. It was surprising to me after
his very methodical proposition. It
broke down my resolution.
"I only wish." he said, "that I were
in his place. God grant that he may
make you happy, as you deserve."
' Ernest," I said in a comforting tone
and reaching for his hand, "my lover
has a fault which may after all kill
my affection for him. He is very
changeable. Do you wish to see him?
IxKk!" I pointed to my reflection in a
mirror.
"Jaqueline:" he exclaimed, radiant,
and took me in bis arms

Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured in
Three Days.
Morton I Hill, of Lebanon. Ind..
says: "My wife had inflammatory rheu
matism in every muscle and joint: her
suffering was terrible and her body
and face were swollen almost beyond
recognition: had been in bed for six
weeks and had eight physicians, but
received no benefit until she tried the
Mystic Cure for Rheumatism. It gave
immediate relief and she was able to
walk about in three days. I am sure
it saved her life." Sold by Otto Grot
