When 12 year? ol' ago ho , went to tho Cortland ucudeiny and ' earned enough money out of chum hours to pay Ins tuition anil expenses ; tor threo years. At the ?gc of-15 ' ho hoard that the village school at Virgil, near Cortland, needed a ' husky teacher. Parker needed tito ' jnpllt'.y and he got Ino job, He sub dued tho fractious pupils, continued ; his studies between times ut the 1 Cortland Normal school and saved enough money to sturt lum nt the Albany Law School, from which he 1 graduated in 1872. Tho futuro judge then became a 1 c'ork in tho law firm of Sohoonmakor & Hardenbergh, nt Kingston. On ! tho ad vico of J migo Schoouinnker ' young Parker took an interest in politics. As it result he was elected Surrogate of Ulster county twice Oil ! tho Democratic ticket, although Ul- . st?r county is a Republican strong hold. He was appointed by Cover- ( nor Hill to tho Supreme bench to lill a vacancy in 1885, and wns re elected u year later for twelve years. So highly was he esteemed that the Republicana put no candidate against him. In tho meantime Pinker ' managed Hill's second oampaign for 1 Governor, united all the wurring fac tions and won. In .January, 1880, a ' second division of thc Court of Ap- ' peals wns created anil he was chosen on it. Thc Court dissolved in 1892 , and at the request of thc bur and . bench he wns limned by Governor Flower on the newly created appel late division of the Supreme Court. Judge Parker was ii delegate to the . National Convention in 1884, and t was chosen Chairman of Democratic 1 State Executive Committee in 1885.

Washington, July RI.-Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, passed through Washington to-day on his way to Edgefiold from the St. Louis Convention. Tho Senator stopped here for u short timo to undergo an examination hy a throat specialist. All during tho last winter and spring Mr. Tillman suffered constantly with his throat. Tho examination re vealed nothing serious, thu physician saying that tho trouble was merely constitutional and would yield to treatment, which could bc adminis tered ns well on his farm ns it could here. Thc South Carolina Senator was fresh from St. Louis when your cor respondent talked with him, and if his opinion is worth Anything, and a great many people think it is, Judge Alttm I?. Parker will bo the next President of tho United States. "I am filled with courage and hope," tho Senator remarked, "and when tho enmpnign is begun the Democrats may inaugurate their la bors with feeling thnt their efforts will bo crowned with success in No vember. On tho whole, our conven tion at St. Louis was a great suc cess. Wo had n great struggle over tho platform, and for two whole nights I did not close my eyes, but finally we drafted it platform upon which all Democrats could stand. "Thc telegram which was received from J migo Parker was one of tho best things which could have hap pened to th3 Democratic party. At no other hour could it have accom plished such a wonderful result. I lat! Judge Parker waited to make known his position until ho drafted his mes sage of acceptance, the result would have been far different. No one can now doubt that tho message came directly from Parker's home, and was sent without advice from any one. It will have two or three marked effects in the coming cam paign. First, thc Republicans cannot make campaign material out of the fact that tho Democrats ignored the money question. Judge Parker's telegram and thc convention's answer have placed the Democratic party ns firmly in favor of thc gold standard as the Republicans. Again, thous ands of gold Democrats who voted against Bryan in 18i)G and 1000 will come back ihto thc party and do all In their power to elect the ticket. Also, we expect Judge Parker's action will bring to US many Repub lican votes, and the support of the majority of tho business men of thc country. There arc great numbers of business men, many of them Re publicans, who fear lo risk Roosevelt for another term In t he White House, and knowing thc Democratic Presi dential candidate's views upon thc ven by us.

Senator Tillman was asked what bo thought of Bryan's attitudu throughout tho campaign. "Bryan fought the conservativos ail ulong tho lino in ?lie committee room. Ou almost every point he was ready for a tight, ami when defeated took up thu struggle on tho next point. However, throughout the loug hours spent in preparing tho platform ho was upon and manly in all his actions, and it WAH not until tho last few hours of tho convention that ho acted narrowly and with bitterness. This was upon tho light over tho conven tion's reply to Parker's incssugo. I think his conduct in tho last two hours of that midnight session did moro to lose votes for the Democrats th:?n anything else. Ho was very bitter in his personal opposition to the New York Judge." Your correspondent questioned Senator Tillman as to what he thought about tho rumor circulated that many of the prominent silver Republicans, like ex-Senator Petti grew, of North Dakota, were dis pleased ,with Judge Parker's an nouncement that ho waB for tho gold standard and would return to the Republican party, "i do not think there is anything in the story," was the Senator's reply, "at least I have hoard nothing of it. Tho only silver Republicans who will get out aro those who were merely waiting for an excuso to do so, and their deser tion will not hurt our chances at all. Such men aa Senator Du Bois, of Idaho, and Charles A. Towne, for merly of Minnesota, but now of New York, will stand firmly by the Demo cratic ticket, and will work as hard as any Democrat." "I believe," said the South Caro lina Senator In conclusion, "that tho whole party will rally behind Par ker. Cleveland will Join in tho cam paign. Bryan will bring his wonder ful oratory into play and work for Parker and Davis. Iivory Demo crat of any prominence in tho coun try will get to work, arid I fi rm ly be lieve that Parker and Davis will be tho next President and Vice Presi dent of the United.States."

Cook's 08Bay on the conscience, although he seemed to take the exceptions to prove the ar gument. He wakes it appear that if we should follow tho dictates of our consciences wo would often go awry. Now, we regard the conscience in a different light. This is a divine gift from God to man that raises him abovo brute lovel ; that exalte him when a good deed is performed, aud condemns him when he goes astray. Or it may be detiued to be the judg ment which man passes upon the morality of his actions as to their purity and turpitude, or the secret testimony i of the soul, whereby it approves things that ure good and condemns those that aro evil. Take away conscience from man and what would there be left? Would there bu nov veuson, Bel f-re spect or judgment? We nro in clined to think that his actions won hi be nbout oh tho same morul plane as that of the Chinaman's and tho cannibal queen usod by Mr. Cook in comparing tho many varie ties of consciences there aro on this planet. Wo would suggest that it is the absence of conscience that made tho Chinaman murder the missionary, and more tasto and less conscience that made the cannibal queen eat her would-be benefactor. What is the latest style in handkerchiefs over lhere? We did.not know that the heathen African carried thoso useful articles. Well-er yes, that mineral metalio conpoionce of your imagination is only ono of tho many varieties of conscience that seems to bo ut your command, but of courso would not admit of a comparison with "Coke's Proliiio Corn," so you left the vege table kingdom and coined that mine ral m?tallo conscience, and applied it to the rich and tho poor, tho high and tho low, tho dispensary advocate ami the swindler. Sure, it is appli cable to a lot of tho earth's repro bates. That "best solution, best so lution" hallucination man is all right. His conscience may bo bard, dwarfed and mineralized, hut ho has enough to tell him that "Uncle Ben did thc right thing when ho estab lished tho dispensary in South Caro lina." So, it is the law and not our con science that makes us pay an honest debt, that makes us pay off those liens ami mortgages, that keeps us from murdering our fellow-man. We, as a people must lie deteriorating. We wonder if an honest man would lie as hard to lind in this day and time as it was in the day of Diogenes ? Well, we are young and viewed our fellow-uian in a different light, and now wo are told that there isn't a streak of good in us and that wc aro compelled to do those things to keep within the palo of law.

C. V (? that ?tate. Mr. Cook, our oouGrdonoe may be hard, codtractod, minoralized, warped and BO OD, hut we think we ?till have ? no iv* h left to do some things without being made. For in stance, are the people compelled to] Bupport Erskine Collego, Furman University, Wofford, Due West Fe male College and numerous others, also to pay missionaries to go to Africa, China, otc ? Oh, kicking doesn't, hurt Clemson so very bad after all, so some of I the professors said at the farmers' | convention. It has its faults and good points, too. Lot tho little ma jor, colonel and cadets strut in their uniforms. Wo aro real proud of their base hall record. Now, in conclusion we would like to ask, how much will it take to es tablish and maintain prohibition in this county? How much will it] take to keep our publie schools on as Ililli a level as they ure now ? Can we afford lo take a backward step in euuoatiou? Will tho prohibitionists of this county ho as willing to as sume their part of tue <wtta taxes that tho voting out of tho dispensary and the establishment of prohibition will enforce upon the people ns tiley aro to preach their doctrine? We would like to havo the above answered satisfactorily, and while you are solving that problem koop in mind those $45,000 (in bonds) ami some outside debts that will come homo some day. A seventeen mill tax seems to bo high enough unless Sully and tho cotton boll weevil get into the cotton market again. Now, Mr. Cook, wo expect you to jump on this and riddlo and frazzle it until its own author would not' recognize it ; but wo have this trait, wo can bo convinced when convinc ing argument is used.

Cincinnati, Ohio, July 18.-"I feel as though gold bugs wore biting rue all over," said Seuutor Tillman, of South Carolina, who passed through here on his way from St. Louis to Washington. "That was a great convention at St. Louis. I was in the conven tion of 1802, when Cleveland rode rough shod over us. I was at Chi cago when the free silvor issue was boru, and now I am just returning from the convention whore free silvor was laid away in its coffin and the mourners crowded aroutid in prooes-1 sion. "Well wo did the only thing there was left for us to do," answered the Senator, when reference was made to his pi.. t ludt. evening in keeping the convention in check. "Tho effect of Parker's action cer tainly will bc wholesome in Ono respect. It will stop tho cartoonists and Republicans from presenting Parker as a martikiu that would fit into Hill's poul.ct.

White Man Murders Nogro Girl. Bamberg, July 8.-Last Saturday night two young white men named Daniel Provcaux and Elisha Morris went to the house of a negro woman in the town of Olar, in this couuty, and, it is said, demanded to bc ad mitted. Tho men were drinking. Tho woman, so it is claimed, refused to admit them and they tried to force open tho door. Failing in this they went, to a window which they suc ceeded in opening. The negro came to shut thc window and succeeded in doing so. She then called to a little negro girl who was in tho houso to conic and help her hold thc window shut. Thc girl got up and started to tho window when Proveaux, it is alleged, put his pistol to a crack in the window and tired into the house, thc bulict striking the girl squarely in the forehead and going through her head. She died instantly. An inquest was hold over tho body and thc verdict oi thc jury was that Pro vcaux did the killing, lie has run away. Although tho jury did not implicate Morris, it is understood that ho has employed counsel and will stand trial. When Other Remedies Havo Failed take Foley's Kidney Curo.
