'it is one of the natural, but in- . ti'rc-:!ng, -acts of political history tl;; , Vitli" 'all the development of (i bosses" throughout the country, dm liui' the . past . g'enerat ion, t.aere is no ir.stnnce where, in any state, a Democrat has come to the front with tie will and the opportunity to use public power, or revenues to enrich himself, -his henchmen or his followers. . The . above is an extract from the speech ilelivered by Judge Alton B, i 'a i . v i-v ' . if 'u : ' 1 i'ariier, me yemocrauc ,.ex-presiuen-tial candidate, in Jackson, Mississippi. It is notable that Judge . Parser's speech met with no enthusiasm, last summer was one continuous ova- ; Judge Parker "is from New York -state, and yet he says that .there are sno Democratic " bosses." Is it possible that he has never heard of the famous Tammany ring in New York 'City! Is it possible that he did not treceive Support from "Boss" Murphy,, of that illustrious band," when running for the presidency? Probably Judge Parker thought to fool the people in the south, who may only have heard of . " Tammany ' through the famous song of that name. People in this part of the country, however, know Tammany for what it really is. They know it as the greatest - breeder of mbral degradation to be found throughout the nation. A ring which draws its campaign funds chiefly from the fallen women of New York City. A ring hand-in-gloe with Rockefeller and the "System." A ring which produced as "bosses," Tweed and Croker. Tweed died in jail wtyere he had been sent for bis wrong doing. Croker is living in- Ireland, in princely style, off " the $12,000,000 he made while" "boss." And yet Alton B. Parker dares to say that no Democrat has used his political power' to enrich himself! Many other states have theirDemocratic t "boss es."; Maryland for instance is under '. the control of Senator Gormon; himself dominated by the railroads and corporations. Even in Indiana there is a Democratic "boss" in the person of Thomas Taggart. In the last presidential campaign Judge Parker by his reticence gained the name of the "silent candidate." In view therefore of his present inability to see jr single Democratic "boss," he has' earned the right to be called the ."blind ex-possibility." o '-.'.. "As Democrats- we . have much work to do.

THE "flISIT OF . AH OFFiCiAI

POSTOFFIOE INSPECTOR TO FERP-ET OUT LOCAL VIOLATORS OF LAWS. A PELULIAR PREDICAMENT Richmond Tobacco Tag Collectors Have in Some Instances Misused ' 'the Mails' of Uncle Sam.' A. R. Burr, United States postoffice inspector, iss' paying Indiana cities and towns ail. official visit ! just at present, and Richmond is said to be on' his official calendar.' :"-': r The' purpose of his visit is to notify various persons who have unconsciously been guilty of violations of the Unied States postal laws and it is asserted that there will be victims found in Richmond as well as in other Indiana-' towns. The trouble arises over the fad of collecting tobacco labels and fads to get -prizes bffered by the tobacco companies. Under the existing postal laws these tags can be mailed as second class matter if no letter is placed in the envelope with them. - It appears however, that fifty per cent of these packages contain messages in addi tion to the collection of tags. ' The government recently confiscated much of this matter, found letters in packages upon which second rate postage was paid, and now inspectors are out hunting down the, person who mailed them. A penalty of $10 is provided by Uncle Sam. and Inspector Burr is collecting this fee as he goes. j .. ; . Valuable Desolate Islands. The most valuable desolate islands in the world are the Liakovs, in the Arctic ocean, off the mouth of the Lena, in Siberia. They are frost bound and utterly barren save for arctic moss, but they contain such enormous quantities of fossil ivory that they are exceedingly valuable in fact, although uninhabited save for. the ivory diggers and of themselves incapable of supporting life, they produce a revenue of 1,000.1 000 a year, London Queen, A Dengralese Peculiarity.
