Hi>11. Alton H. I'ark.T, demo
critlic ctindiihtte fur president in
11*04, addressed ihe lull tif.ietu r-
er's Clul) ut C'hurlotte, North
Carolina March Hi, 1901S. In the
course of his remarks lie urged
southern democrats to take great-
er interest in politics, as it rested
with them to preserve the prin-
ciples of the d. mociMlic party
from being lost entirely to the
people. He took avery pessi-
mistic view of the party's future
prospects, and in the course of
his remarks said:
"Since lHitO, no old Democratic
Northern Slate has accredited
one of our party to the United
States senate and in none has
there been a friendly governor.
All the Democratic training
schools of the North—element-
ary, intermediate and higher
were closed and have remained
so. The party paralysis was
complete and almost fatal. In
l!io4, hoping to cure or palliate ii,
you advised returning again to
New York for your candidate,
only to meet the worst defeat in
our party history. It is now
nearly twelve years since any
man professing devotion to your
p.iiiy has been chosen in nation
o! n any Northern Democratic
s o totillan important executive
ot ire. At the last election, per
hans eight or ten of the voters
tin n under 30 were ranged with
o ii opponents, and today the
]• 1 ty organizations are lifeless,

become' Uepubli ans, while in
more than one state, the threat
hangs over them that they may
become the victims of the spoiler

time FOR SOt th TO ASSERT
ITSELF.
"When sucii conditions con-
front you, why should you hesi
tttte anv longer? Until the Demo
crats of Nebraska and New York
and other Northern states have
brought for'h fruits meet for re-
pentance—or at least so long as
they are threatening to give
themselves and the party over to
further destruction- should you
not assert yourselves? You have
borne the heat and burden of the
day. \<>ur statesmen have dem
onstrated their ability not otih
to take care of the interests ol
their states and their section, but
they have been the only dam
against aggression at home and
the threat of discredit abroad.
Among theui are men with the
knowledge, experience, h >nest\
aT1d courage to represent their
fellow partisans without the sur
render of prill iple and their fel-
low country men with safety and
honor.
"I, myself, placed at the front
for a time, have every reason ti
be grateful to Demoi rat> every
where, especially to those of tlo
South. I appreciate the honoi
thus conferred upon me aid

Office.
An attempt has been made to
bring former Register Urownlee
and Receiver Admire, of the
Kingfisher land office into disrc
pule and charges were tiled
against the office.
It was claimed that the office
was discontinued because there
was something wrong, but Sec
retary Hitchcock in his report
exonerates both Urownlee and
Admire, as the following Wash-
ington dispatch shows:
Washington, March 7th.—Sec-
retary Hitchcock handed to the
house committee on public lands
today his reuort answering the
resolution for full information
regarding the investigation of
charges of official misconduct
against the register and receiver !
of the Kingfisher land office and
of the discontinuance of the
office.
The report stated explicitly
that discontinuance of the office
and its transfer to or consolida-
tion with the land office at Guth-
rie was is no way caused or hast-
ened by the charges made against
those men, but simply by the in-
creasing lack of public business,
a policy which the department
has always followed, wherever
such occasion justified it, fifteen
such offices having been abolish-
ed since since January 1, 11)05.
This policy naturally results
in the consolidation of all offices
in any state with the laud offices
situated at the capital.
Pursuing that rule the land of
tices formerly located at Enid,
Perry, Oklahoma City,"and King
fisher, have been consolidated
with the office at Guthrie, the
capital of the territory. The dis-
continuance having been deter-
mined when the replies of the ac
cused were received, it was not
felt advisable to incur additional
expense by making further in-
vestigation.

Vocal Prize Contest.
Something new in Oklahoma,
and something that will interest
music lovers will be put on at the
Kingfisher Chautauqua. The en
tire day of June nth has been set
apart for a grand vocal prize con
test of mixed choruses, mens'
aud ladies' quartetts and liberal
prizes will be awarded the vie
tors.
Such contest's have proved ex-
ceedingly popular elsewhere, but,
being untried in Oklahoma, will
constitute a part of the assembly
programme. A number of
choruses have already entered
and a great day in vocal music is
anticipated. Entries will be re
ceived from all points in Oklalio
ma and Indian Territories.
WORK OF ANCIENT ENGINEERS.
Jswlsh Men of Science Were Masters
of Their Craft.
King Hexeklah, It seems, wag trou-
bled over the bad water of Jerusalem
about 2,500 years ago, and built a
reservoir outside the city gates for
spring water, which was brought thith
er in a tunnel, the construction of
which rivals the famous Slmplon.
Dr. Bertholet of the University of
Basle has Identified this ancient engi-
neering masterpiece. One of the Si
rach manuscripts of this date states:
"Hezekiah fortified his., city by bring-
ing water thereto and he bored through
the solid rock by means of bronze,
and he collected the water in a reser-
voir."
The tunnel leads Into the pool of
Siloam and is 360 yards long. Work
was carried on from both ends, as Is
proved by an Inscription In the tunnel
and by the marks of boring tools,
picks, etc., which show the direction
in which the excavation was made
What instruments were used for de-
termining levels and directions, and
how were errors detected? Allowing
for the scientl.lc and practical limita-
tions suffered by these ancient Jew
ish engineers, their achievement ex
eels the work of the modern Swiss and
Italian experts who executed the Slmp-
lon.

Drink Beer From Mugs.
Bavarians have long insisted that
beer Is better and more wholesome
If drunk out of stone miles than out
of glass. Dr. W. Schultze has now ex-
amined the matter scientifically, ami
has found that beer is made injurious
by a chemical process which dissolves
the oxide of lead In the glass.
Great Author's Literary Output.
It has been claimed for the elder
Dumas, though It I open to doubt,
that he wrote twenty-three novels in
a single year. This meant a steady
output of more than 1.250,000 words
a feat of authorship all the more re
markable when the high literary qual-
ity of the stories Is taken Into ac-
count.
Tobacco Injures Soldiers.
Britain wants better marksmen in
its armies, but many people claim that
the Increasing use of cigarettes among
ihe soldiers Is defeating this ambi-
tion. The duke of Wellington would
not allow smoking In any form. His !
famous order ran as follows: "The
lommander In chief has been Inform-
ed that the practice of smoking pipes
and cigars and cheroots has become
prevalent among the army, which Is
not only In Itself a spee'es of Intoxica-
tion occasioned by the fumes of tobac-
co, Lot undoubtedly occasions drink-
ing and tlipllng by those who acquire
the habit." The order went on to beg
officers to prevent stroking among the
officers of junior ranks in their regi-
ments.
