That King Edward correctly inter preted the feeling in publicly stigma- tizing the affair as “unwarrantable. was evidenced by the reception giver him this morning when he started for the race meeting at Newmarket. A big crowd awaited the king both at Buckingham palace and at the railroad station and the heartiness of the cheer. ing and the vigorous waving of hats and handkerchiefs with occasional shouts of “Good Old Teddy” from the ultra-enthusiasts made up a remark- able demonstration and afforded the king evident pleasure. In view of the popular demonstra- tions against the Russian ambassador last night, special precautions were adopted by the police to guard against any unpleasantness, but they proved unnecessary. Queen Alexandra has sent a letter him to the mayor of Hull enclosing a do- nation of $500 for distribution among: the disabled men and the widows and orphans of the killed, expressing pathy and asking to be informed as tc the progress of the injured.

GEMS FROM ALTON B. PARKER'S | LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE OF SEPT, 26, 1904. ,To the Honorable Champ Clark and others, Committee, etc. | GENTLEMEN: In my response to your Commitee, at the formal notification proceedings, I referred to some matters not men- tioned in this letter. I desire that these be considered as incorporated herein, and regret that lack of space prevents specific reference to them all. I wish here, however, again to refer to my views there expressed as to the gold | Standard, to declare again my unquali- fied belief in said standard, and to ex- press my appreciation of the action of the Convention in reply to my com- ;Tuntcation upon that subject. Grave public questions are pressing ‘for dectsjon. The Democratic party appeals to the people with confidence that its position on these questions will be accepted and endorsed at the polls. While the issues involved are Rumerous, some stand forth pre-emi- nent in the public mind. Among these are: Tariff Reform, Imperialism, Eco- jnomical Administration and Honesty fin the Public Service. I shall briefly r these and some others within sarily prescribed limits of this th t letter, IMPERIALISM. While T presented my views at the ation proceedings concerning this 1 issue, the overshadowing impor- tance of this question impels me to re- fer to it again. The issue is often- Umes referred to as Constitutionalism ; vs. Impertalism. If we would retain our liberties and tutional rights unimpaired, we t permit or tolerate at any time r any purpose, the arrogation of nstitutional powers by the execu- tive branch of our government. We shold be ever mindful of the words of j Webster, “Liberty is only to be pre- served by maintaining Constitutional j restraints and just divisions of political power | Already the national government has become centralized beyond any point contemplated or imagined by the fram- ers of the Constitution, How tremend- ously all this has added to the power lot the President! Ii has developed E year to year until It almost equals that of many monarchs. While the growth of our country and the magni- tude of interstate interests may seem to furnish a plausible reason for this centralization of power, yet these same facts afford the most potent reason why the executive should not be permitted te encroach upon the other depart- ments of the government, and assume legislative, or other powers, not ex- pressly conferred by the Constitution, The magnitude of the country and its diversity of Interests and popula- tion would enable a determined, ambi- tious and able executive unmindful of constitutional limitations and fired with the lust of power, to go far in the usurpation of authority and the arerandizement of personal power be- fore the situation could be fully appre- «lated or the people be aroused. The issue of Imperialism which has deen thrust upon the country involves a decision whether the law of the land or the rule of individual caprice shall govern. The principle of imperialism may give rise to brilliant, startling, dashing results, but the princtple of Demoeracy holds in check the brilliant Executive and subjects him to the so- ber, conservative control of the people, The people of the United States stand at the parting of the ways. Shall we follow the footsteps of our fathers along the paths of peace, prosperity and contentment, guided by the ever- living spirit of the Constitution which they framed for us, or shall we go along other and untried paths, hitherto shunned by all, following blindly new ideals, which, though appealing with brilliancy to the imagination and am- bition, may prove a will o’ the wisp, leading us into difficulties from which it may he impossible to extricate our- selves withont lasting injury to our national character and institutions? TARIFF REFORM AT ONCR. The Dingley Tariff is excessive in ny of its rates, and, as to them at unjustly and oppressively bure dens the people. It secufes to domes- tic manufacturers, singly or in combl- ration, the privilege of exacting ex- e prices at home and prices far ve the level of sales made regularly them abroad with profit, thus giving & bounty to foreigners at the expense of our own people. Its unjust taxation burdens the people generally, forcing ~ | them to pay excessive prices for food, i clothing and other necessaries of life. It levies duties on many articles not normally imported in any consider- able amount, which are made extens- ively at home, for which the most ex- treme protectionist would hardly justi- fy protective taxes, and which in large amounts are exported. Such duties have been and will continue to be a cirect incentive to the formation of huge industrial combinations, which, secure from foreign competition, are ensbled to stifle domestic competition and practically to monopolize the home market. It contains many duties imposed for the express purpose only, as was open- ly avowed, of furnishing a basis for re- duction by means of reciprocal trade treaties which the Republican admin- istration, impliedly at least promised to negotiate. Having, on this promise, secured the increased duties, the Re= publican party leaders, spurred on by ed interests, defeated the trea- Regotiated by the Executive, an@ Row these same interests cling to the benefit of these duties which the peo- ple never intended they should have, and to which they have no moral right. HOPE AID FROM SENATE. The two leading parties have always @ifiered as to the principle of customs taxation. Our party has always ad Vaneed the theory that the object is the raising of revenue for support of the government whatever other results may incidentally flow therefrom. The Republican party,.on the other hand, contends that customs duties should be wvied primarily for protection, ro-« called, with revenue as the subordinate perpose, thus using the power of taxa- tron to brild up the business and prop erty of the few at the expense of the many. :
