Tns BAsHA OF TAyGnR APOLOGIES TO 4
GRITTY AMERICAN CoNsUL.-The authorities
at Tangier, Morocco, were lately treated to a
sample Of Yankee grit in manner which
almost rivals Commodore Rodgers's lively
times with the basha Of Tunis, in 1905.
Iangier has lately been blessed with new
basha, Kaid Jilalp ben Hamoo, au old man
who has been used to Moorish intrigue and
oppression, all his life, and has never before
been brought into contact with Christians.
Desiring 10 transport some goods, he pro-
ceeded to" attach all the camels in port,
among Others. some belonging to citizens of
different Christian nations. The Italian
consul applied for the restoration of two
camels belonging to an Italian subject, and
the request was granted. The British and
American representatives followed suit,
when the basha refused, and, on being re-
minded that he had already granted the
same request to the Italian consul, exciaim-
ed, " Why, you cOnsuls are like so many
monkeys : whatever one does, all the rest
must do - The British consul declined to
notice this insult, but the blood of Col. F.
a. Mathews, the American consul, was up
at once, and he gave the basha a-half-dav's
time to apologize in person, or he would
haul down the United States flag and cross
to Gibraiter, there to await the orders of
his government. At 3 O'Clock the basha
and the minister for foreign affairs arrived
in state, with numerous retinue. Col.
Matthews received them seated, and, when
the basha had fully apologized for the ex-
pressions of which he had been guilty, rose
and shook hands with his coutrite visitors.
The rejoicings and congratulations in Tan
gier were loud, as the basha Immediately
afterward released all the camels he had
attached

Political InlcpendeIce

True political independence was apty de-
lnei by Hon Alanson W. Beard. former
Nermonter, now chairman Of the Republi-
can State committee, of Massachusetts,, in a
speech at Brookline. on Saturday evening
lie said
4 great deal Is said now about independ
ont action. independent voters and an indie
pendent press. Ny idea of independent
action Is this an independent voter is one
who consistently acts with that political
organization in whose principles he be-
lievcs, and who faithfully performs all the
duties binding on q good citizen at primary
meetings and elsewhere, doing his best to
keep his party true to its professed princi-
pie, and his best to procure nominations
OF honest aud capable candidates failing in
this, il his party put up bad or incompe-
tent candidates his duty and his independ-
ence Is to aid in the defeat Of such candi-
dates. The honest man, who stands uloot
FROM all political organizations, neglects
to use his influence to obtain good nomina-
tions and waits for tickets to be made
without effort on his part, j. not an inde-
pendent voter. lie throws away his privilege
as citszen and adopts policy which, if
joined in by all honest men, would give up
the management Of affairs entirely to the
worst glass OF politicians. The present idea
Of the 50 called "independent press" seems
to be to alternately pitch into and to praise
both political parties to abuse the Repcb-
licans just enough more than they blame the
Democrats to efectually keep ont Demo
cratic newspaper competition its editors
assume control Of both parties. attending
and advising all conventions acting as de-
legates in the Republican conventions. while
the papers they represent and control have
already declared for the Democratic candi-
dates. A truly Independent press, while it
faithfully supports the principles of the
party 10 which it profcsses to belong, will
earnestly rebuke its party if it departs from
these principles, or brings forward unworthy
candidates
This is well said. The technical indie
pendenee, 50 highly praised by the 50 called
independent press, is simple destructiyeness :;
and their advice and example, if followed,
would be the death Of all organization
among honest men, and the handing over of
fnll political control to the organized knayes.

liant Fat Save When Huugry.

DIR. Hall declares unhesitatlngly that
il is wrong TO eat without an appetite,
for it shows there is no gastric juice in
the stomach, and that nature does not
need food and not needing il. there
being no fluid to receive and set upon
it. it remains there only toputrefy, the
very thought of which should be sum
cient to deter any man from eating
without an appetite for the remainder
of his life.
Ifa tonic is taken TO whet the ap-
petite, il is a mistaken course, for its
only result is TO cause one 70 eat more
when already an amount has been eaten
beyond what the gastric juice Is able
to prepare. .
The object to be obtained is . large
supply of gastric juice, not larger
supply of food and whatever fails to
accomplish that essential object, fails
to have any efficiency toward the cure
of dyspeptic diseases.
The formation Of gastric juice i
directly proportionate to the wear and
tear of the system. which is to be the
means Of supplying, and thiE wear and
tear can only take place as the result
of exercise. The efficient remedy TOR

From some unknown cause the song
was strangely adapted to her feelings
tonight, and she poured all the burden
of soul, seuAiment and sadness out
through the strains of the pathetic

through the intricate passages with
