Kind of Man the Democrats Must Nom- inate in His Opinion. Washington, March 27.—William J. Stone, junior senator from Mis- souri and vice chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, when ask- ed as to the future of the democratic party, said: > “I prefer not to make prophecies as to ‘paramount issues’ for 1904.” Asked as to the probable make-up of the next demecratic presidential ticket, Senator Stone said: “I do not think Mr. Bryan will be nominated nor do I think that he either expects or desires the nomina- tion. Itany effort is being made to eliminate him it will fail, for he is still undoubtedly the most commanding individual force in the party. He cannot be eliminated, and any effort in that direction will recoil on those attempting it. The business of ‘elim: inating’ people from the party is not the business I want democrats to en- gage in. It would be more profitable to get men into instead of getting them out of the party. We have plenty of able men who would make safe, conservative presidents, al though they might not indulge in such erratic strenuousities as would keep the country on the tiptoe of some dread expectancy. The democratic candidate for pres ident must be a democrat who has always supported his party ticket— a party man, who, if elected, would give us a stalwart democratic admin- istration, Itis not necesary that a man should have subscribed uncondition- ally toevery declaration of the Chi- cago and Kansas City platforms. It is sufficient if he has always stood loyally by his party flag. “Talk of reorganizing the demo- cratic party is perile and silly. Some men may need reorganizing but the party does not.” When asked what he thought of the recent talk to the effect that the regular democrats were insisting on too many concessions from gold democrats who wanted to come back into the party, Senator Stone said: So far as people getting into the party is concerned I want every one there. Itis no question of repent- ance, sackcloth and ashes. Thedoors are open and if a man wants to co- operate with the democratic party all he has to do is to get into line with the party. There is no form of doing it that I know of except to do it.” The “Keynote” in Chicago. Washington, March 26 —The Chi- cago Tribunesays: ‘President Roose velt has selected Chicagoas the place in which to sound the keynote for his epeeches throughout his western trip. 3 It is for this reason he has had the time changed from afternoon to evening and selected the Auditorium as the place in which to make his speech. Taking Chicago as the me tropolis of the west and speaking * only to thousands of people in the Auditorium, but to millions rounda- bout, the president will talk upon the Monroe doctrineas it bears upon our relations with the countries of Europe. His speech, therefore, will be, as was promised Mayor Harrison, a strictly non-partisan one. Not a breath of politics will enter into it, but there will be from beginning to end a distinct flavor of robust Amer- icanism, the type which best flour- ishes in open air of the western coun- try.” The Presidents in St. Louis. St. Louis, Mo., March 27.—During their visit in St. Louis to attend the dedication of the World’s Fair, Presi- dent Roosevelt and ex-President Cleveland will sleep and eat at the same house and be in almost con- stant intercourse.

Little Rock, Ark., March 25 —The celebrated Parnell murder case at Eldorado came to a peculiar end to- day. A compromise has been enter- ed into on the part of the state and the Parnell defendants, in which it is agreed to dismiss, with the under- standing that Dan, Jim and Matt Parnell leave the state with their families by May 26 next. The agreement was signed by the prosecuting attorney and the attor- neysfor the defense, and is to gointo immediate effect, the condition being that unless the three brothers quit Arkansas soil before May 26 the cases will be continued against them. If either of them should return to the state to resume his residence then the case will be revived against him. Snould they engage in any difficulty with either Guy H. Tucker, Dr. R. A. Hilton or T. F. Newton the case would be revived against the party causing the trouble. The trouble grew out of an old feud between City Marshal Guy | Tucker of Eldorado and a branch of the Parnell family. The case has never reached court, but has held the attention of the state by reason of the prominence of the parties. The shooting took place on the principal square of the town on Octo- | ber 9, 1902. Marshal Tucker en- countered the Parnell brothers just as the latter were about to enter the courthouse, when the firing began. Constable H. L. Dearing ran to the scene and took part in the affair. He was killed. So also were Walter and Tom Parnell. Seven men took part in the fight, all using pistols. About twenty shots in all were fired. Tuck er was hit three times, and for atime it was not thought he would recover, Hilton and Newton came upon the scene before the shooting was con-| CABSTORIE tra QO yGon, Safe Blowers in Kansas.
