PoIitIcnI Generositn-

Editor Morning News I shall not as
sumo to judge the merits of the present
fractional fight in the local Democratic
party. The whole thing seems to hang
upon the question of the spoils system Is
the system right as between rival polit-
zeal parties? And then, a fortiori, is it
right as between eliques of the same
party? In the latter case political ethics
would seem to prompt to mutual conces-
sions and fraternal cOrdiality. But in
these days ethical politics would appear
tO>be an exploded superstition-a dream
whose irridescence has long been demon
strated.
There Is, however more or less hum
orous aspect to the situation.
What are we here for?" says the dom
inant faction TO the other.
We are in and you are out. No, you
Fellows can't have any of the offices.
No. you can't have any voice in party
management. You see, you are out, and
we are in; but We will be liberal and gem
erous with you. IL you will be good dem
ocrats and not make any fuss, we will let
you vote as we dictate"
This reminds me of the liberal comprom-
Use offered to the small boy by his mother
Ma, he asked, kin l go to the cir
mo. my son. you can't go to the circus
TINS AFTERNOON, but II you are good l will
take you to the cemetery and let you see
your granfather's grave" Democritus.
Men and women are very much like
sheep when it comes to following in the
footsteps of others, says the Philadelphia
Record. This fact is forcibly emphasized
in rather prosaic manner, to be sure,
on Tenth street, just below Chestnut, ev-
cry day. On the east side of the street
a building is being torn down to make
way for improvements, and a temporary
wooden bridge has been erected over the
sidewalk. There is considerable travel by
foot at this point, and it is rather inter.
esting to note the methods employed by
pedestrians in view of the obstruction.
For instance. a man comes along who
may be tired or naturally lazy. Rather
than climb the steps of the bridge he
will make a detour into the street and for
several minutes his example will be fol-
lowed by all the other people who come
along. Then there will come some per-
son who is not averse to climbing, and the
tide will change in his favor. And thus
it continues during the entire day.

ENGLISH THE WORLD SPEECH.
The Germans Favor the General Study of
 the Coming Language.

The Germans Favor the General Study of
 the Coming Language.
 Tn an article on the importance of introducing into the schools the study of universal language (Weltsprache) which recently appeared in the Preus- sische Jahrbuecher Dr. SehFoer advo. cates making the study of English ob- igatory, not necessarily to the exclu- sion of the classical tongues, but at least in conjunction with them. ''This," he says, ''is not & question of taste or rivalry between the 'moderns' and the 'ancients;' it. is simply a his torical necessity" The learned pro- lessor properly condemns all attempts, however scientific, to construct all artificial world speech, like VolapGk. In his. opinion n language which pos sesses neither literature, historical de- Selopment nor linguistic relations can never serve as a medium of general communication, for the Eessou that nc one will take the troubleto acquire it, . merely as n ''tool of trade" until 1t be- comes universal; therefore it can never become universal. Such attempts, how ever, are not only ainlcss, because they can never obtain the general con sent Of mankind, but they are needless, for there already exists 9 universal 1anguage-i. C., a language which, by its spread over the whole earth and by the ease with which 1t may be learned, has gained such long step in advance that neither natural nor arti- ficial means can deprive it of its as sured position as the future medium of international intercourse. And this language is the English.
 Prof. Schrocr is careful to warn his renders not to get their aim too high, for to learn to speak and write fluently and correctly a language which holds so high place in the scale of culture and refinement as the English is diff cult, but for the average man this is not necessary, for even the average Englishman has but limited con- mand of his mother tongue, and the daily intercourse of life requires but small and easily acquired vocabulary. This is true of every language, but the absence of puzzling genders and inf1ec- tions and synthical forms renders the English easy in comparison with others. "The English language" con- cludes Prof, Schroer, ''is the world speech, and will, to all appearance, be- come more and more so every year."
 During the present century the Eng lish-speaking population of the world has increased five-fold. from possibly twenty-five million at its beginning to at least one hundred and twenty-five million. No other language has ever been so rapidly developed no fact in civil history Is more significant than this. In every quarter of the world English is the conquering tongue. The wide spread of the Brit ish colonial system, the marvellous growth of tho United States and the facility with which it absorbs every foreign element bear witness to this great fact, and our cousins in Germany ure of too practical turn of mind to be jealous or forgetful of it.

How a Gambler in Mexico Swindled 8 Ma
 tive Mcnte Dealer.
 'The coolest gamblers on earth are the Mexicans," said a traveller from the land of the tamala to writer for the Washington Post. ''Win or lose, they never display the slightest chagrin or joy. They won't raise row, as our American gamblers do when they are beaten. was sitting one evening at i the monte table in the great gambling resort of Mexico, situated in suburb of the City of Mexico. There were two Americans whom I had seen around the table on several occasions. One was railroad man and the other was the most expert short-card manipula, tor ever say, They played for very small stakes for several days. Then one day the railroad man came in, sat dowp and began to play. The short card man followed him in about half an hour and took seat five or six chairs away. saw him take large silk handkerchief from his pocket and spread it over his knees. In Mexican monte tho dealer allows each player to cut the cards when he makes bet. The short-card man brought with him a deck of cards exactly similar to those used in the game. Fact is, the backs of these cards are all alike, When he was given the cards to cut he substi- tuted another pack on the top of which was card, king, which would make him win. He had put down eighteen hundred dollars o1 the king on the board. He cut, the dealer turned and of course he won. The pack that the dealer had handed him to cut lay in the silk handkerchief spread over his knees. He gathered the handkerchief together, put it in his pocket, took his thirty-six hundred dollars and left. His confederate played on for few minutes, making small bets, and then cashed in. As he turned to go the dealer, who knew he had been robbed but could not quite comprehend how it had been done, said very quietly:
 "'Very we'll done, signor.'
 "An American gambler would have raised row and pulled his gun and de- manded his money. They watch Amer jeans very closely in that game now"

4 Joke Tried by Jury.

A North Carolina paper tells the following: At Harnett county superior court, a few years since, Judge Shipp presiding, tho trial of cause had been protracted till near midnight. The jury was tired and sleepy and showed Tagging attention. Willie Murchison, who was addressing the jury, thought to arouse them, so he said: Gentle men, I will tell you an anecdote." In stantly the judge, the jury and the few spectators priclzed up their ears and were all attention, as Murchison was admirable in that line, had fund of anecdotes and no one could tell them better. But he soen proceeded to tell one of the dullcst, prosiest and most pointless jokes possible. Everybody looked disappointed. The judge, lean ing over. said in an unmistakable tone of disappointment: "Mr. Murchison, I don't see the point to that joke" Nor I. either" replied the witty counsel. But your honor told it to me on our way down here and as I thought the lack of appreciation must be due to my obtusencss concluded to give the joke a trial by jury"

Beheme to Avoid Lu:E'nG the Big Bull
 Riddles Around.
 \ Cold-laced person got on crowded Brooklyn trolley car and hung bass drum over the bral1c-handle, says the New York World. The car lurched and the man next to him stepped on the golCl-laced persons toes, and, being thus introduced, began a conversation about the drum.
 Heap of bother carrying a drum around, isn't it?''
 "Yes, but not so much as Q double bass, one of tEcsc big bass fiddles, you know-bull fiddlcs"
 'hre they much troubleP"
 "Wcll, they are this much trouble, that they won't let you get on car in Brooklyn with one. In New York you have to get permit to carry one, just the same as if it was concealed weapon. Once, here in Brooklyn. I'd have to take a carriage for it. But now belong to double bass club"
 Have pretty good times, supposea You get together and smoke and have some beer and play solos on your double basses."
 The gold-laccd man looked down and laughed silently. We'll, it is kind of funny to think of lot of men sit ting around and playing solos about two octavcs below the singing voice. Voomf! Voomf!
 "No," said he after bit. "All the fellows that play the double bass be. long to this club and pay two dollars a year dues. They have lot of instru- ments and every place they have to go to play there is closet containing a bass, to which only members of the clubs have keys. There is a book in the closet, and every time fellow uses the bass he marks down his name. They have them in all tho halls and theaters, and in the summer time on all the barges and excursion steamers. The two dollars from each member goes for repairs"
 So that's the reason why you can't remember having seen a double bass on tho street cars, no matter how hard you try.

INDIAN NAM ES

London Newspapers Find Their Spelling
 Matter of Difficulty.
 The London newspapers occasion considerable mirth to their Indian con- temporaries by the spelling of Indian words. It appears that, in reference to the native princes and noblemen who were present at the opening of the Imperial institute, we tried to strike out on an original line. but were only able to spell ''Gackwar" in seven different ways, and 'Bhownugger" in four. Indian papers, it seems, are not wholly suo ccssful. We still occasionally see Puma" and "Poona," Hindu" and 'Hindoo," "Dacoit" and "Dalxait," and so on, according to the taste and fancy of the spcller.
 In a supplement to the Bombay Coy. ernmcnt Gazette we now have a re- vised alphabetical list of Madras place names, which is ito be strictly adhered to-" In this list, while retaining such monstrositics as Birukkazhilkkunram Suncaraperumall1oyil, Gannamanayak- lsanur and Ammayanayakkanur, a large proportion of the popular yer sionS are retained, with the thin dis guisc of ''K" fer a "C" Three-and- twenty out of the thirty-six pages of the Notification are occupied by. list of place-names ''in which the system of transliteration has been followed" ," and wonderful list it is.

Tho Moth as 8 Decorative Artist.

Few persons suspect that the com. mon moth may be utilized as decora- tive artist, but he may be if only one be watchful, patient and acquainted with the creatures habits. The larva of the moth has habit of spinning about itself sort of sac from the ma- terial upon which it feeds. As the worm grows it enlarges this sac by the process of splitting it and inserting new material. Now, if a moth worm that has inclosed itself in red flannel be afterward transferred, sac and all, to white flannel, the growing insect will slit it's red flannel covering and enlarge it with portion of the white flannel. If, then, the worm and the sac be transferred to blue flannel, the creature will in course of time enlarge the sac with blue flannel, and thus elothe itself patriotically in red, white and blue. Entomologist Southwick, of the park department, says that it is no great trouble to put Q moth worm through this performance.

N. Berillon, French doctor, whc has been directing his attention for some time past to the study of nail bit. ing, or, as he calls it, onychophagy, finds that habit or disease extremely common. In public school in Par.., says the London Times, out of ai5 pu. pills examined during the month of April last, sixty=three, that Is to say, nearly one-fourth, were addicted to biting their finger nails, Curiously enough, results vary greatly in differ ent districts and in different schools in the same districts. It seems thaE girls are more given to the habit than boys In one girls school in tho department of Nonne eleven out of twcnty-one were confirmed nail bitcrs, Tn anoth- CT girls school the proportion was sixty-onc out of aeT pupils. and of thos, sixty-onc fifteen were found to be. iI the habit of biting the nails of botl hands. and the others of biting ori. those of one hand NJ boriliora rcsc

the 22nd New Jersey volunteers who died

where the father and mother of the
soldier are without property and the
father is unable to support the family,
the mother is dependent within the
