A Kir Boston Traveler (Ind.) da: We are not surprised that the Re- tb^ publican leaders are showing unmis- 11? takable signs of panic. The confi- ter dent feeling that appeared to rule be- pj fore the Democratic convention ap- ba: pears to have taken wings to itself J-* and flown away. The campaign plans yej are being reconstructed, it is announc- Dig ed, and herculean efforts are to be put forth in an effort to save the day. The Republicans had counted noses Ca too early. They relied upon New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut as practically sure for their T candidates, but the firm stand taken al' by Judge Parker on the monentary 8eD question has swept these five states E?( into the extremely doubtful column. p Before the Parker nomination Mary- pa] W7ncif Vlrnrinlft rolfh thair erne lauu auu fV OOV . ? llgiumi nivu 9 fifteen electoral votes, were placed in the doubtful column. The Republicans now concede these states to Parker. New Jersey, three times carried by Grover Cleveland, is regarded as pretty safe for Parker, and the same 0 opinion is held of Connecticut. This aBc situation presents this apportionment of the states: Democratic?Alabama, 11; Arkan- Cai sas, 9; Florida, 5; Georgia, 13; Do Kentucky, 13; Louisina, 9; Mississ- J ippi, 10; Missoury, 18; North Carolina, 12; South Carolina, 9; Tenne-see, 12; Texas, 18; Virginia, 12; T Maryland, 8; West Virginia, 7; Colorado, 5; Idaho, 3; Nevado, 3. coi Total, 177.

Of the 476 members of the electoral college the winning candidate must ?e have the votes of 239. On this basis it lin will be seen that the Democrats are 8e in maemficent position for victory.

Wisconsin, Illinois and Indiana went Democratic in 1892. But greatest of all signs is that Jg which lies from Republican diesatis- ? faction with President Roosevelt and the enthusiasm which Judge Parker, it by his own stalwartness, has aroused. g< KUBBER NECK.

Tbe following appeared in lastfweeka issue of tbe paper and as we overlooked reading he proof there were errors In it which mode It nnlntellgible in places. We reproduce from the original copy: roe annum picnic ai ounny oiope as usual, passed off most pleasantly, deaplte the fact tbat It rained durlDg tbe greater part of the morning. Various estimates pat tbe nam- < * ber preeent close around fifteen hundred wblcb we tblnk is not far from tbe mark. Delightful refreshments served from stands erected on tbe grounds, a brass band, a splendid picnic dinner and pretty women were ' . sncb attractions as set at nought tbe lnclemeat weather. Tbe picnic grounds lie In front of tbe residence of Capt. Robt Pratt; and tbat another success bas been soored, is due In large measure to hlawffiats In looking after tbe comfort and enjo^fifent of those present.

In an interview yesterday Edward C. Wall again repeated his firm belief that Wisconsin would be carried by Judge Alton a. .rarKer mis iau. iur. Wall's statement on the situation was as follows: " I believe Judge Parker will be elected president. I atill think as 1 did when I sent him my telegram after his nomination that he has a reasonable chance of carrying Wisconsin for the Democratic party. I have seen nothing since that time to make me change my mind. Judge Parker did & th e manly thin;: in coming out boldly for sound money. Any one who has ' followed my political career knows what my views are and that I have always stood for sound money. Judge Parker will make a eafe executive. The country will be safe in his hands, and steps he will take will be in the right direction. "In regard to the platform, it is quite remarkable that the party was able to form one which appears to be generally good out of such a diversity of opinion as existed among the delegates to the national convention held at St. Louis. But I think tbe fight will not be on platforms, but on Boosevelt as a man. He is the Hamilton style of poltical leader as opposed to the ideal leadf- / the Jefferson type, which is my ,v.eal. Boosevelt would make a typical head for an empire and a wonderful improvement on the czar ofBussia." '4 WASTING COUGHS. Lingering, wasting coughs, may end In consumption.

Never having ex perienceu me pleasure ot suuu ? piuposition from a maiden, confides the editor of the Easley Progress, we are unable to explain her privilege during leap year, but here is an answer given in a contemporary. " It appears that in the year 1288, a statute was published by the Scotch Parliament ordaining that during the reign of "Her Maist Blessitt Marjiely Margaret" every maiden or lady of high or low estate should have liberty to speak to the man she liked. If he refused to take her to be his wife, she would have the privilege of fining him 100 pounds or less, according to his estate, unless he should make it appear that he was betrothed to another woman, in which case be would be free to refuse. After the death of Margaret, the women of Scotland became clamorous for their privileges, and to appease them another act of Parliament allowed them to propose every fourth year."
