Remember that there : Juno time too soon to get rid ol , a cawserous growth no matter how email. Examination free, ; lexers answered promptly, and WASHINGTON LETTER From onr Regular Correspoa dent. It cannot be denied that there is less smoke in the po litical sky than when I wrote you last. The diflerence be tween the parties.is more ob vious and better defined. Judge Parker's letter of ac ceptance has cotne into the solution and participated the concrete issues, tending to clarify the whole discussion. It has induced something like activity, where before was an indifference that , seemed like paralysis, "and it. has given the cue to an army of stump orators who, bad not quite decided what, to say next. Judge Parker's silence caus ed a tremendous cla moi in all Republican circles prior to bis acceptance, but now that he has spoken aud, fractured that silence to pieces, the clamor is ten times greater. It sems difficult to satisfy them.' : c , Ex-Senator Towne says "perhaps the. sharpest point, if not the most effective ut terance in the Judge's., letter is his defiant acceptance of Roosevelt's challenge on the pension order. Would yen dare to revoke that order?' Asked the President. "Yes, I would Instantly," replied the Judjje, 'and depend upon Congress to pass the requi site laws, instead of issuing them from the White House." The beauty of this pngnu cious retort is that it. does not admit of nny answer whatever. Another sentence which is being circulated in display type from the Congfsinnal headquarters is that which affirms that 'The tradition al polir-y of the country,, as formulated by its firt Presi dent condemns the doc trine that a great state, by reason of its , strength, may rightfully, appropriate the sovereignty of territory of a small state on account of its weakness. . We claim no rights and will assume nofunctions. saye those of a friend and of an ally and defender against European aggression." The civil war in Urngnay is at an end, and Hondurasand Guatemala- have assured Uncle Sam that they regard bim only as a generous and be nign protestor, but Judge Parker's words will do more to strengthen their confidence than President,:Ro09evelt'H deeds. . Republicans hereaway are trying to make something of Roosevelt's publication of the letter from Gov. , Wright of t h e; Philippines saying that "a dangerous ferment" is caused in the islands by the agitation of their inde pendence by the Democratic party. They call attention to the fact that Wright used to b a Democrat, as if that settled the question. It does not. Taft used to Se an nnti imperialist, and were not Lnngstreet and Mosby very active Democrats until they were appointed to office ami kept in office by the Republi can party, and did they ever thervrfter swerve from their allegiance to it? Wright used il0 b(J d Dey0l.rat un, u publican President gave him a 530.000 office; but no man is a Democrat who ho'ds that the Declaration of Inde pendence is a farce, and that governments do .not derive their just 'powers from th consent of the governed. By the way, it is now understood that Wright's proclamation was sent by cable to the Pres ident. which sufficiently indi cates its animus .and pur pose, Just ire Phelps, of Massa settr,, has apologized to the British Functiona?y Gurney for arresting him frr driving his automobile too fast. ' In ternational law certainly put the justice technically In the wrong, but common sense justifies him. Let nswnitand see what the English will do with Gurney. ; He certainly ought to be published by somebody, for if it is estab lished that a. foreign minis ter's factotum can commit any crime and be exempt from punishment, it may be come more fashiynable for A mericans to go armed. , Your correspondent called this morning on Mr, James Longaman the confidential advisor of the Saltan of Mo rocco and Premier of the Em pire, whoisin town this week. It was the distinguished A merican who climbed over the montains, found the ban dit Raisonli, and paid . oyer the money for the ransom of Perdicaries. Yeg. it was some what rink.y," he admitted, "I had known Ruisouri for years and we were airaid of e a c h other's treachery. He had a regiment of two or three hun died soldiers close by. He in vited me into a hut for the parley but I declined. What's this I hear in Washington a bout J'Perdicaris aliveor Rai 83uri dead" having been sent by John Hay to the Sultan? I never beard of it until now. I was the Sultan's agent and in the closest , association with him. Between you and me, I don't believe any such message was sent to him. Wouldn't I have heard it?" Mr. Lungnrnan is a highly ed ucated, polite, and engaging man, 'swarthy, and with a frank and cordial manner. He is the Sultan's representa tive at the St. Louis Exposi tion whither he is bound. . The President is annoyed and embarrassed by teceiv ing letters asking bim why he does not is-ue an execu tive order expelling Reed Smoot from the Senate, Nei ther the President nor Mr. Loeb replied to them. Chief Engineer Wallace of the Panama Commission an nounces that George Khle, a youth just out of college has solved the great Panama Ca nal problem by finding that the torrential charges can be twisted around and sent down the PiiHfi't, at a sav ing of f20.OO0.UO0. t hus is our salvation ordained nut of the mouths of babes and sucklings. If we wait real hard we shall find out bow nuch tintb there is in this. a love letter . Would not interest you if you're looking for a guaranteed salve for sores, burnn, or piles.

Baltimore Sun. There has been much com plaint of prevailing apathy among the people in the pres ent campaign. The election is Imh than five weeks away and yet there is little excite ment. Not many political meetings tune been held; there have been no torch light processions and men are not engaged in angry die cnssiDns and controversies o ver the candidates or tba is sues of the campaign, as ha 9 been the custom in past pres idential elections, Indeed, a good ' many voters profess to.be unacquainted with the precise issues which divide the great parties at this par ticular ..time. The orators who have so far appeared on the stump .have done what they could, bnt somehow the people refuse to respond. The Republican spellbinders de dare that. Democratic suc cess will be more injurious than a general conflagration aud the Democratic spellbin ders have affirmed that Re publican success means a for eign war, or something just as bud. nnd yet the people re fuse to get excited. It is a matter of opinion whether this is a wholesome and desirable condition or one to be deplored. Not long ago the board of direc tors of the Baltimore cham ber of commerce adopted a resolution in favor of a six year term of office for the President of the U. S., coup led with a prohibition o) the re-election of a President. This was provided for in the constitution of the Confeder ate States, the theory being that if a President is re eligi ble he may, use . his office to promote his political for tunes. tThe reason assigned by the chamber of commerce for its action is that "experi ene for come timeline shown that the excitement of presi dential elections -is detri mental to business interests and legislatson for the gen?r al welfare of the country." This was certainly true of several elections within re cent years, ttf most notable being the Tilden and Hayes campaign of. 1876, and the Cleveland and Blaine cam paign of 1S84. In both these campaigns tnere was tne wildest excitement, Men neglected their work to talk politics, friends were estrang ed and there . was geneibl turmoil ind uproar. Such a campaign a that is with out a doubt detrimental to business. But so far the present campaign has inter fered but little with the hah itual conduct of the avoca tion of euch voter. .What the next four weeks has in store remains to .ossein, But . A JUDICiOUS INQTJl.BY. A well Known traveling, m a n who visits the drug trad, says he has ofteu heatddi uggit-ts inquire of customers who. linked tor a cuugh medicine, whether it wuh wanted lor a child or an adult, and il for achild they almost in variably recomjiend Chambei laiu's Cough Remedy. The rea Hon for this is that they kuw that there is no danger Iroin and that it always cur. There !r not the least drtiizer in giving it. and for, eouglm, . cold and croup it i noHurpassed. For sale can this condition be truly considered n manifestation of apathy? In the pnst a pni dentinl election has n-'Ver failed to bring out a ful vote, nnd there is no reason to apprehend that this com ing election will be any ex"ep tion. i W hatever may be said, the! issues in this election are sei i j ous and far-ieai'hing. The' people are doubtless reading their newspapers and inform ing themselvrs and nre goiug about it in a sane and solwr fashion. The work for the. campaign committee of ewU party is to see that the prop er arguments nre addressed to the undecided voter. It is mo-e likely that the voters who are still undecided, or who at all events nie not firmly attached to either party, will determine llic Rreat battle of the coming 8th of November. Neither political party owns enough yote in the United States to elect a President, nnd it is to the independent vote. whi"h is necessary to victory, thnt each party must make its np peal in the next four weeks. Unhappily it is assumed ns a fixed fact that each party will make its appeal in the form they best understand to tu venal , and corrupt vote, i Thisj vote, however, seldom contrals the result, as it is likely the jote pur chased, by one party is offset by that purchased by the other party. It is, there fore, the politically unattnch ed, or independent yote that will be a deciding factor. It is a question whether a quiet sober campaign is not as ef fective in a presidential year as one of torch light proces sions. The main ohject of such things is to arouse the interest of the apathetic vo ter so that he will not fail to vote. There is not much danger of such apathy in a presidential year. In the re cent elections of Vermont and Maine a full vote was polled, notwithstanding the fact that the result of the elections in both States was a foregone, conclusion. Na tional affairs were made the issue in the campaigns in both States, and for that reason a full vote came out. some seasonable ADvrcK. It may be a piece of euiwrtiu ons advice to urge people at this season ol the year to lay in a up ply ol Chamberlain's Cough Rem ed y. It is almost as euro to ne iieerted Delore winter is over, anu much nrre prompt and satietac lory results are obtained when taken as soon as a 'cold is con tracted and bufore it has liecnme settled in the system, which can nnlu Ku lima u Lauii!nr thp rem edyathand.
