No man who ha* entered the White House through the instrumentality of death baa ever been nomii-ated t • succeed himself. The fortune* of war have always been against him. Of the smsll number Mr. Arthur best deserved success, and came near to achieving it, but even he had made enemies while in office, who opposed him in the national conveotkh and helped Mr. Blaine to his triumph, yr, Boosevelt, however, has his batde won, practically without an eflort. He will break tba r cprd, and have an opportnnity to tdllrit at the polls a verdict on his pre*idenlial Mew-

for ita presidential candidate. The names ot prominent jurista have often figured iu speculation relating to the White House, and now and then a lightning rod has plainly protruded above the neckband of the black siik gow ii. Chief Juatiec Chase was an open and anxious for the democratic nomination in 1868, and Justice David Davis bad strong hopes some years Is ter. JusUce Field had fnends whom he encouraged n several national conventions. But the politicians could never, be induced to go to court for the man, but have sought him other from among their own kind or in the tanks of the soldiers. Now, however, it seems likely that the bench is to be drawn upon. Not the highest bench, bnt a very high one, and the man picked ont is an honor 'o his court. Judge Parker is very much respected by everybody who knows him* Hu manners are popular, and hla decisions carry weight He la in the prime of life, well bom, well read, well-to-do The stock is good and wholesome. He ha* made bis own way, and has mounted pretty high. This for the present should silenca those who are afraid that because be has not rushed into print with his news on every conceivable subject. he has no news outside of hi* profession. The probability is to the con-

trary.

This then is to be the year for a ' departure by both parties in the matter of candidates. And added to the interest of the situation is the fact that the two men who will contest for the highest prise ate person-J friends and cherish for each ottu-r a cordial good will. The race in every way promises to be of unusual interest.

A very singular accident has happened to the Vanderbilt yacht Tarantula while lying at her pier In New York city. The accident was caused by an accumulation of sulphuric acid gas. which exploded and wrecked the fore part of the vessel. A glaaa tube one-half Inch long containing radium has disappeared from the office of Dr. WUllam Allen Pnsey In Chicago. The radium was received by Dr. Puaey from Paris. He was treating a patient for an affection of the face when the precious substance disappeared. The missing radium was of the usual grade for scientific use. worth about $200,000 per ounce troy.

The New York Son starts a report that former Senator James Smith, of New Jersey, stands a good chance being made the chairman of the Democratic National Committee. That's all right. New Jersey is capable of tiding the chairman of both the great, parties, and If Franklin Mufphy should be the ReputKican and Jamas Smith the Democratic leader of the coming paigh there will be souaMhlng doing not only in this State but ha all other Stataa of the Union. If there Is anything else the voters of both parties want to put vigor Into the campaign, New Jersey stands ready to supply U If auy

! Mr. Scott says that these younger and more progressive men of the south : bare entirely discarded the traditional : Democratic Idea that this country should adopt free trade for her present protective policy. It is hi* opinion that the older lieinocnitu- politicians, some of them at Uiis time talked of as presidential cuniiidati-s by the Democratic party, are- hardly up to date in their ideas regarding the tariff. He la most positive In his l>elief that they will have to modify their stand on the tariff If they are to have the favor of this progressive element of the Democratic party In the south. The south ia rapidly developing in the manufacture of iron, steel and cotton. North Carolina la now building the greatest cotton factories In tbe world. All kinds'of Industrial Institutions are springing up throughout the south. This state of affairs haa brought about the unmistakable sentiment that prevails in favor of little or no change in tbe tariff laws of the nation. This idea Is spreading until the planters who grow fruit and vegetable* are being educated in the same direction. Mr. Scfttt sums up by expressing hla belief that tbe Democrats of the southern states are becoming leas of what has been called “the dyed In tbe wool" variety—That Is. they are not Democrate when their own material Inter-

ests are appreciably affected.
