JUDGE PARKER'S TRIBUTE TO THE
SOUTH.
The speech delivered in Char
lot ie last Friday night by Judge
Jtlt<ui B. Parker, of New York,
lute democratic candidate for
President, is attracting no little
Attention throughout the country.
He not only lavished praise on
the South, com mending its martoIous
industral development and
the conservatism and wisdom of
its statesmen, but even went, fo
tar as to expre-s t be opinion that
the next Democratic nominee f?>r
.President should be a Southern
man. Judge lJa?"ker is not given
in lla'lery and it may be taken
lor granted, therefore, that his
utterances in this instance were
aincere.
Iu the course of his remarks
Jmine Parker said :
"It is more than two score
yeais since the war closed and
your people find themselves upon
the threshold in what piomises
to he the most remarkable busi
aess development the world ha-<
ever known within the same time
.and apace. Some of your men
u v gone torili to command the
highest success, in the most honorable
way, in tiiegte ileal tinanrial
and commercial movements
of the time ; others have hec mi
the. managers of great railway
mterests; you have developed
j^reat manufacturing enterpris s,
and most difficult of all, your
p ople, as a whole, h tve so mainla
ind and increased their own
p siliou and the dominance of
the country in one <?I the greatest
products of tlio soil as to make
Mif ni the wonder anil the admiration
of the world.
4,Jn spite of your devotion to
principle and consistency, in the
laeeol a numeric d importance
that was preponderate, in poll
trcs only have you stopped aside.
From tire earlies' days since sellgovernment
was restored you
have sent your best men into
pubic lite. They have been at
one modest, able, leyoted, patriori,

nor have the olfieers of the law,

to present to yon candidates for

doing so and have then voted
for them, and that, too, when
some time* no o'her States did
so "
Speaking directly us to the
time being opportune tor the se
lection ot a Southerner as nation
al party leader. Judge Parker
made the following significant
statement:
"The time has come when the
really effective Democrats of the
country should be recognized and
vvhen they i}u mselvvs ahould no
longer hesitate, decline or re use
to seek or to accept these honors

iliat th<? party will uo Jo defeat
again, but since 1800 it has done
nothing else under Northern
leadership and cerlainly it cannot
do worse.
"I believe firmly that it will
do better because it will at once
eliminate the tactions wll'ch are
inevitable, so long as their leaders
feel that they have only to
capture a few State organizations
in the North, nominate their
candidate and then depend upon
the South to support and elect
him if possible. And certainly
no faction can refuse to support
a worthy Southern candidate in
the light of the loyalty of the
South In ppnrv l-mrfr.v n-itwli

The South generally will ap
preciate the compliment paid this
sec'ion and its people by tlie distinguished
New Yorker, but we
have no idea that his advice will
be taken by the next national
democratic convention, or that a
Southerner eould be elected President
even it he should get the
nomination. The South, it is
true, h is good presidential timber?just
as good as that to be
found in any other part of the
Union?but politics is a practical
thing, if 'thing" it may be call
ed, and upon its practicalness
depends its success. Sentiment
11 is allowed to cut no figure, and
1 even justice and merit are sometimes
ignored in striving after
1 success by a political party The
leaders of the democratic party
know that the Sou'h is always

Volcanic Eruptions Destroy

Honolulu, March 25.?The

Sydney, N. S. W , via Samoa,

volcano on tlie island oi Savail of
the S tmoan group continues on
a large scale. Three villages
have been completely destroyed,
including Malacola, where was
located the finest, cocoa plantation
on the island. The residences
of A King and () Barlelev
hav been reduced to ruins and
are a total loss. The lava from

Then he turned to a pile r
papers on his desk, called elerf
and added: "Why, man, I lee
