Shepard Appears to Be in the Lead, but an Up-State Man May Secure the Nomination—Alton B. Parker, Temporary Chairman, His Respects to Selected as Pays Colonel Roosevelt. Rochester, N. Y. Sept. 30..—With 213 of the 450 votes under his control Charles F. Murphy of Tammany Hall is in a position to dominate the Demo- cratic state convention here. Upon Mr. Murphy’s use of this power, that | came to him through the coalition of the delegates from New York, Kings, Queens and Erie counties, depends the composition of the ticket that will be placed in the field to oppose the candidates nominated at Saratoga by the Republicans. Thus far no combination has de veloped strong enough to threaten the supremacy of the leaders. The ques- tion was not one of the Tammany leader’s power, however, but of his disposition to use it. While the sup- porters of Edward M. Shepard and the several up-state candidates acknowl- edged that the nomination of their men depends upon Mr. Murphy’s word, they bore in mind his reiterated dec- laration that the up-state delegates would name the ticket. But few ven- tured to predict how broad an inter- pretation the Tammany leader would give this promise. Parker for Temporary Chairman. The uncertainty as to the guberna- torial candidate continued up to the time the convention was called to or- der. Alton B. Parker, former presi- dential candidate, was elected tem- porary chairman and delivered the keynote speech. : Mr. Parker began his address with an attack upon Colonel Roosevelt, say- ing he had, while president, been giv- en to “executive usurpation” to an ex- tent that political prophets in other lands were now predicting the speedy coming of she dictator in the United States. He continued: “Other champions there are of the doctrine that the people of the states and their officials are less competent to deal with business matters than the executive branch of the federal gov- ernment, the courts’ share therein be- ing particularly obnoxious. According to this school as large a share as can be of the powers of congress and the courts shall be taken from them and ultimately lodged in the federal ex- ecutive. For, say their leader, in his address to the Hamilton club: ‘This new nationalism regards the executive powers as the steward of the public welfare’” This means that the legisla- tive and the judicial departments of government, exercising their powers independently, but are to be subordi- nate to and controlled by the steward of all power—the executive. Discusses Tariff Question. “The fitst tariff act was in 1785 and the average duties were 8% per cent. Now the average is 50 per cent. “In 1842 the average was 32 per cent. By the Walker act of 1846 they were reduced to an average of about 25 per cent. This worked so well that in 1857 the average was further re- duced to 20 per cent. It probably would never have been increased but for the war, for the census of 1860 disclosed a higher percentage of in- crease of capital invested in manufac- turing than during any similar period of our history. “The tariff beneficiaries, however, availed themselves of the exigencies of the Civil war to secure two in- creases, the first to an average of 27% per cent, the second to an aver- age of 47 per cent. And now, forty- six years later, the average is 50 per cent. “The Republican party is responsi- ble for this increase from the average of 20 per cent, as it stood in 1862, to 50 per cent, as it stands today, and for the thousands of millions of dol- lars that through it have been taken from the people to create the swollen fortunes that President Roosevelt de- nounced so vigorously. Strange, is it not, that he did not then suggest that the way to prevent their creation in the future was to reduce the tariff which made them possible?” CHINESE SITUATION SERIOUS Outbreak Similar to Boxer Trouble Would Be No Surprise. ‘Washington, Sept. 30.—Advices have been received here from American of- ficials in the Orient to the effect that a critical-situation exists in China and that an outbreak similar to the Boxer rebellion of several years ago would not surprise the close observers of the recent trend of events.

Those old. pleasant, innocent frauds of the circus are not practiced now— the imposing five barred gates that as the horse approached them were slop- ed into insignificant wattles and the rings through which the signorina pur- ported to leap, but which in reality were insinuated over her by compliant attendants. And then there was that venerable jockey performance, the cul- mination of which was a leap from the ring to a standing position, albeit at an angle of thirty degrees, on the borse's back. In the old circuses it was the custom of the horseman to miss the crowning jump two or three times in order that a fiercer flame of interest might be kindled in the audi- ence. After two failures the band would stop (always the presage of a moment of strain supreme), the horse’s head would be loosed, he would be urged to a greater pace, and the feat would gloriously succeed. Then what a crash of drass and outburst of de- light in the building, involving even the staff and ringmaster in the expres- slon of ecstasy! Those old, simple days!—Cornhill Magazine. Remarkable Instinct. “Every time I go shopping I thank heaven that I have a good business head,” said the woman who boasts that ber quick wit always saves her from financial loss. "A saleswoman came very near getting into trouble today over a belt I bought. The only thing that saved her was my business instinet. First I bought a belt for $1.25 and paid with a two dollar bill. In handling my change the girl drop- ped a quarter into the paper and boxes that strewed the floor back of the counter and could not find it. Of course I could have held her accouut- able, but she looked so tired and wor- ried that I hadn’t the heart to do that, 80 how do you think we settled it?” Her husband gave it up. “Why,” said she triumphantly, *I just exchanged my $1.25 belt for a dollar one, and neither of us lost any- thing.” . “Remarkable instinct, my dear,” said the husband. and she smiled over his approval.—New York Sun. Bernard Shaw’s Excuse. Bernard Shaw was invited to a ban- quet in honor of the sculptor Rodin. He sent the following letter as his ex- cuse for not attending: “For me a banquet to Rodin is quite superfluous. I have already taken measures to assume immortality for myself by attaching my name to that of Rodin. Henceforth in every ency- clopedia you will read, ‘Bernard Shaw; subject of a bust by Rodin; otherwise unknown.' “If the bust is lost, broken or spotiied. so much the better for me,” he con- tinues. “They will speak of the ‘lost Bernard Shaw of Rodin.’ as today they speak of the lost Athens of Phidias. Nothing can be more beautiful than the statues which no one ever saw. Therefore I have done all that is neces- sary. 1 can get along without ban- guets. You will only be Rodin’s hosts. I have the honor to be his model.”— Dramatic Mirror. The Unreality of Opera. There are people who still complain of the unreality of opera, who cannot subject themselves to its illusion. And indeed the illusion of opera breaks down if everything in it is not kept at the same distance from reality. In that world of musical expression we must never be suddenly lowered by any incongruous detail into the ordi- nary world of prose. Realisin, the at- tempt to work upon the emotions by complete illusion of reality, is disas- trous in opera. If the scene is a rail- way station we remember at oncg that people do not sing when they are catching trains.—London Times. The Music Was Fatal. A New York politician once found it necessary to attend an entertainment at an orphans’ home, and he was hav- ing a bad time of it. The selection by the boys’ band was particularly dis- tressing. Turning to a friend, the poli- ticlan said with a shudder, *“No won- der they are orphans.”—Success Maga- zine. A Money Saver. “But you are taking considerable risk in letting your younge.men owe two or three weeks’ board.” “Yes, there is some risk,” answered the boarding house keeper. *“But then, you see, they worry over it so that they lose their appetites, so 1 save money in the long run.” Diplomatic. “I believe our boy is a born diplo- mat.” ‘‘Has he shown extraordinary ability as a prevaricator?” “Well, no, not that exactly, but he can cheat other boys in trades and make them think they are getting all the best of it.” Napoleon and Woman.

ROLL OF $1,000 GIVEN Cash Was Handed to Representative Beckemeyer by Lee O'Neil Browne, Who Said “Tnis Is Lorimer Money.” Also Testifies That He Received $900 as His Share of the Legislative “Jackpot.” Chicago, Sept. 30.—State Represen- tative H. J. C. Beckemeyer, one of those who testified in the trial of Lee O’Neil Browne to having received $1,- 000 for his vote for William Lorimer for United States senator, took the witness stand before the senatorial in- vestigating committee. He testified that he voted for Senator Lorimer on May 26, 1909, and that on the evening of May 24 he had been called to the rooms of Minority Leader Lee O’Neil Browne. “Browne said to me,” declared the witness, “ ‘What is all this talk about you not voting for Lorimer? ” “I replied that I thought for a Dem- ocrat to vote for Lorimer would kill him (the Democrai) politically at home. Browne then told me that many other Democrats were going to vote for Levimer and that it would not hurt me. I talked to other Democrats and found that some of them were go- ing to vote for Lorimer and I decided to do so myself.” Witness then told of going to St. Louis at the request of Browne and receiving $1,000 for his Lorimer vote. “I met Browne at St. Louis June 21, 1909, and Browne handed me a roll of money which he said was $1,- 000. I counted it and found the sum correct. As he handed it to me Browne said ‘This is Lorimer money.’” . Witness said that on July 15 he went to St. Louis again and was given $900 by Representative Robert E. Wil- son, who, Beckemeyer said, was act- ing for Browne. Witness said that was his share of the “jackpot.” Wit- ness told of meeting other legislators at St. Louis, among them being Rep- resentatives ‘Shepherd, Michael Link and Joseph Clark.
