Judge Parker's letter of accept ance is only one-third as hms as was that of Boosevelt, but it is ft) II of matter that should be care fully considered by every , voter, egardless of party politics. He truly says that the main issues are "tariff reform, imperialism, . economical administration ard honesty in the public service," On the subject of imperialism lie titters a most timely, note of warnins-. and truly declares that, -Already the national government has become centralized any point contemplated or imag ined by the founders of the con stitution." This centralization has been carried so far that the present President of the United States wields more power than ?-oa flip TCino" of Gieat Britain! He exposes plainly the injustice a. :i. - wtv. 1 vil fill I Hriii l l w - iiutu wmvu tw " eopy the following extracts mnMc mnl mo-nn-' lactuters, singly ot in combina tion, the privilege of exacting ex cessive prices at borne and prices far above the level of sales made regularly by them abroad with profit, thus giving a bounty to for eigners at the expense of our own people. Its unjust taxation - bur dens the people generally, forcing them to pay excessive prices for food, fuel, clothing and other nec essaries of life. It levies duties n many articles not normally im ported in any considerable amount, which are made extensively at home, fox which the most extreme protectionist would hardly justify nrotpictrivfi taxes, and which in large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will continue to be a direct incentive to the formation of huge industrial com binations, which, secure from for eign competition, are enabled to stifle domestic competition and practically to monopolize the home market. "Even now the argtiment most frequently urged in behalf of the Dingley tariff, and against tariff reform generally, is the necessity of carinsr for our infant industries Many of these industries, after ato vote fo1' sucfa Tresi hundred years of lusty growth. are looming np as industrial giants. In their case, at least, the Dingley tariff invites combination and monopoly, and gives justifica tion to the expression that the tariff is the mother of trusts. "The two leading parties have always differed as to the principle Of customs taxation. Our party ,has always advanced the theory that the object is the raising of revenue for support of the govern ment whatever other results maj incidentally flow therefrom, The Republican party, on the other hand, contends that customs du ties should be levied primarily for protection, so-called, with revenue, as the subordinate purpose, thus tising the power of taxation to build up the business and proper ty of the few at the expense of the many." We call the above extracts from Judge Parker's letter to the special attention of those voters, who on Jy a few years ago were ardent tariff reformers, but are now sup porting the Republican party. Judge Parker's letter calls at tention to the greatly increased expenditures under Roosevelt's administration. In 1886 under Cleveland the expenditures were $242,000,000, and for the last year under Roosevelt they were $582,- 00,000. This is an increase of over $4 for every man, woman and child in the United States. And yet Republicans have the cheek to charge Democrats with extrava gance! The conclusion of Parker's let ter is so sensible and so much to the point that we here copy it, as follows: ; "1 solicit the cordial co-opera-tion and generous assistance of every man , who believes that a out of the accumulated surplus in change of measures and of men at I the Treasury." It would be in this time would be wise, and urge J teresting to know by what arith harmony of endeavor as well as metic the President justifies the vigorous action on the part of all so minded. "The issues are joined and the people must render the verdict. "Shall economy of administra tion be demanded or shall extrav agance be encouraged? "Shall the wrongdoer be brought to bay by the people, or must jus . i i i i- . tice wait upon political oligarchy? "Shall our groverument stand for equal opportunity or for spec ial privilege?

Very truly yours, ALTON. B. PAKKER." The Republican party seems afraid to take an open and decided stand about the Watts law. Where ever that law is popular the Re publicans profess to favor it, but wherever it is unpopular they de nounce it bitterly. Their State platform, as pub- i 1.-3 . -1 i ilsnea ior8evera wees , c.ui aiutu law, but there was no attempt made to deny its accuracy. ' After wards they found the Watts law more popular than they at first thought it was, and then (and not ' until then) thy began to say that that plank had not been published correctly. Ihe truth is, the Rf publicans are playing a double game. They I II. x 11 ' wit re "u imusra 10 ail men . uiit-ie an endorsement of the Watts law will cr:,in il.em vnfe theV -nvnfe ' Will gain tliem votes tney pioless to De zealously in tavor ot it, ana where a denunciation of it will gain them votes they bitterly de- i nounce it. Everybody knows this to be true. Gov. Aycock will speak for two weeks before the election in Indi ana and other doubtful Northern ! States, and he will add to his rep- ... , T1. utation as a great orator. His many friends will be highly grati- fied if he should become a member ot President Parker's Cabinet. reco net hi ins contrast to the iguorinjr of the South by Eepublican Presi dents, lloosevelt included, who has not a single, solitary member of his Cabinet from the South. And yet Southern men are asked dent and to support a party tnat utterly ignores the South! The real reason why many Re publicans are opposed to the Watts law is because it has de prived of a job so many revenue doodlers. In some counties there were several whiskey stills, at each of which there was a store keeper. These storekeepers were all Republicans of course and every one was a zealous worker for his party. The removal of so many revenue doodlers not only deprived them of an easy job, but it weakened or decreased their influence and hurt their party. It is easily 'Under stood then why the Watts' law is denounced by so many Republi cans. . Washington Letter. r From our Regular OtrnspondAnt.j Washington', Sept. 22, 1304. The chief political interest here this week still expresses itself iu the discussion of the President's letter of acceptance a topic that is not likely to wear out till elec tion.

So terrific wus the force of the explosiou that not a vestige of the boiler room was left staudiuj and bricks were scattered for sev eral hundred yards. The bodies of those killed were horribly man gled, that of Mr. Fowler leing liter-lily in shreds from his. waist down. Several reasons are assigned as the cause of the explosion but the lest information at hand is that the steam gauge was not working nd Mi Fowler was sent for and had only been in the room ti few Hiiuutes when the "explosiou oc curred.
