President William A. Vincent, of the
Waubansee club. and Senator Joseph
r. Mahoney. The significance of
Senator Mahonev's Endorsement of
Mr.. Morrison lies in the fact that Mr..
Mahoney is 4 close personal and po-
litical friend OF Gov. Altgeld, and is
supposed to voice the sentiments Of
the governor. Senator Mahoney
says he would like to see A!tseld re-
nominated for governor with Mr..
Morrison as the presidential caudi-
date. This may mean more than at
first appears. 1t may mean that an
attempt will be made to compromise
the differences on the silver ques-
ton. At any rate, Mr.. Morrison.
notwithstanding his refusal TO join
in the free silver movement. Is still
the favorite presidential candidate in
the central and southern portions of
the state. where the free silver feel
ing predominatcs.
Another incident recently oc
Cured which indicates Morrison and
harmony: Ex-Congressman Forman.
OF East st. Louis. is n mem Der of the
state central committee and is re-
garded as Dir. Morrison's protege and
spokesman. Mr.. Forman was bit
terlv opposed to the silver movement
in Illinois. He strongly opposed the
calling of the silver convention and
refused to have anything to do with
it. About month ago. however,
Mr.,Forman caused himself to be in
tervicwed by ST. Louis paper, and
in that interview he said that while
ne could not subscribe to the 16 to /
silver policy. he was too loyal dem
ocrnt to bolt his party on that ac-
count and would follow the demo-
cratic banner in Illinois wherever it
might lead. The friends of Col.
Morrison have been trying ever since
To iud out whether he takes the For
man view OF the situation. Whether
he does or not. it il known that
Chairman Hinrichsen, the free silver
leader in Illinois democratic politics,
is quietly fostering the Morrison
boom. and hat Gov. Al geld is not
avcrse to Tic proceedings.
"llere in Chicago the Hill indorse-
mcnt of Morrison is therefore re-

When Tears Are Dangerous.

up by saying: when you find nan

most dangerous men are these who
laugh or cry when they have dispute
on hand. knew 4 man named Drew,
down in Texas, who was noted as q very
bad man. When he was doing any shoot
ing. he would laugh loudly-a hard, de-
moniacal laugh, without any merrimcnt
in 1t. Up at Indian Diggings, many
years ago, two men named Archer and
Pawson had 4 dispute with . German
about claim. When they claimed the
property, he broke down and cried, and
they. surprising they would have 10
trouble in taking possession, marched
on the ground. The German took I'D a

time getting over his injuries. After

Thousands of Prisoners Were Shot Down
After the Surrender.
No French victory was ever marked
by such unbridled license as that which
the victorious troops practiced at Yafa-
But what followed was worse, for the
prisoners of war Were too numerous for
tie ordinary usage. Fer some days they
were treated according to the terms Of
quarter they had exacted. On the 18th
a council Of war unanimously voted that
the old rule under which no quarter is
given to defenders in an assault should
be applied to them. For three days Bo-
naparte Lesitatod, but on the Goth his
decision was taken. A few Egyptians
were sent home and the remainder Of
the prisoners, together with tho 500
militia from FL Arisl, were marched to
the beach and shot. In the report to the
directory the number was put at 200.
Two cycwi:nesses estimated it-one at
5000. the other ut 1000.

troops who violated the laws Of war;"

sDondeIcc at the time. All winter long
he had been dealing rs an oriental with
o-ientals, and this vas but 4 piece of

uary, for instance, ho had ordered Mu-
rat to kill all Tire prisoners CT a hostile
tribe IL the desert whom he could not
bring away, AID in the same month
identical orders were issued to Berthier
concerning another existing horde.
The plea which is made by the eulo-
gists of Napoleon and by some recent
military writers for. this wholesale exc
cution is that among these slaughtered
men the garrison Of FL Arisi,, which
had surrendered, had been found again
with arms i'll their hands; that they
were deserving Of death according to all
the laws OF var, and that, as to the rest,
there were no French prisoners for whom
to exchange them and 10 provisions to
support them, consequently their pres
encc with the army would jeopardize its
success, and it was therefore justifiable
to diminish the encmy's resisting power
by their execution. Those who believe

opinion. ". NJ. Slo2ne's

Merton and the Presidential Nomination


Up to date there are only two cam
dida,es for the presidency on the re-
publican side that have formally
entered the field. They are William
Mckinley, of Ohio, and William Is.
Allison, OF Iowa. Each ore has been
mentioned specifically by resolution
OF the state convention of his rcspec-
tive state as its choice for president.
No candidate can expect to receive
any substantial support at the re-
publican national convention next
year who is not backed with the
official Endorsement of his own state.
Such Endorsement, OF course, can
only be obtained from state con-
vention. The formal presentation
of Gov. Morton's naHc for the presi-
Denial nomination, at the Saratoga
convention next month. will place
him among Of presidential pos
sibilitics. Gov. Morton, SAYS the
New York Mercury. would probably
like to have the matter left in its
present vague condition, but the
leaders of the republican machine do
not think that this would be advis-
able. They say that the time has
arrived when it is necessary for the
New York delegation to take posi-
tive stand. They expect that the
influence of New York at the next
republican national convention, will
90 long way toward deciding the
nominee of the convention. MIR.
Platt all along has insisted that New
York must stand practically as a
unit in the convention. The dele
gates from this state will probably
vote for Morton as long as there is
4 possibility of his securing the nom
iuation. Should it become neces-
sary to withdraw his name. it is Mr..
platt's purpose. so it is understood,
To have the New York delegation
transfer its vote solidlv to some other
man. lie does not think that it will
be advisable to scatter or divide the
vote OF New York among half a
dozen or more candidates. Mr..
Flats personal preference, after
Morton, is said to he Tom Reed, but
this does not mean that he will under
take TO throw the ~ votes Of New
York TO Reed in the event of Mr..
Morton's defeat in the convention.
Mr.. Platt and his friends are going
to the republican national convention
next year with fixed determination.
1t will be either to nominate Morton
or to name the candidate Of the con-
vention. Mr.. Platt's second choice.
therefore, will be largely matter Of
expediency. 1t will be determined
by developments after he reaches the
convention.
Gov. Morton is popularity believed
to be 4 very liberal dispenser OF
money in politics. He is very rich
man and could spend great many
thousand dollars to crafty any per-
sonal political ambition without feel

PLANET COLLISIONS.
Should Stars Knock Together tho Tire

Should Stars Knock Together tho Tire
Would &c Understandable.
Professor Ledger of London, whose
series CT Gresham astronomy lectures On
''knoclls Il Their Relation to Astrono-
my" has been completed, in his last dis.
course pointed out that the universe,
instead Of being fixed, is alive with mo-
ton, each star with its attendant plan
cts hu-rying through space. II star woro
to knock against star the intense heat
and fierce fire generated by the cnor-
nous velocity and vas. momentum Of
the two masses would be such as to pass
human conception.
1t may be that the sun was formed by
the collision of two stars The effect of
two such bodies attracting each other
and meeting would be to reduce them
to violently agitated gaseous mass.
whicE would oscillatc, first inward, pro.
ducing inconccivablc heat, and then oft
ward again, ultimately assuming the
condition Of the sun. The genera! re.
suit would be that the two bodies would
revolve around their common center Of
gravity-that is to say, around each 9th
er-crea.ing tloublc star. Lord KEEL.
win has calculated that if 10000. Geo
solid globes. each Of the mass Of the
moon, should be scattered over spher.
ical surface 100 times the radius of the
earth's orbit. they would come together
and be raised to temperature of
10C, GOO degrees. They would oscillate
outward and inward, reaching to q less
distance each time. and ultimately set
Ting down into Il sphere.
The nebul;a we see around us may,
Professor Ledger suggests, have been
produced by the knocking together of
two great bodies rather than by the ag-
gregation of niany smaller ones The
collision Of two huge SUNS woald thus
lead to rejuycnescence and the formation
of new systems. Phenomena indicating
that something very much in the nature
of collision had occurred are the out
bursts OF temporary stars such as those
observed by T'ycl;o Brahc in 1872, by
keplcr in 1901 and those of 1913, 1866,
1876, 1850 and 1882, the last being the
new star Auriga, which declined through
ten rna2nitudcs, Or became 100, 900
great increase III the light Of comet as
it approaches the sun may be due to a
tidal disturbance i'll the bodies forming
it, causing them to knock against each
other, and thus generate heat and light.
In the same way the twinkling of the
stars nay be caused by the knocks Of
the molecules Of the atmosphere on the
ether. whose undulations carry their
light TO as. The excessively great and
the exceedingly small are all interde-
pendent, and tie past, present and prob
able future Of ncbulous bodies all hinge
Oh the relations they bear to the knocks
Of the molecules of their gases, while
the knocks of immense bodies depend
ultimately CD the knocks of their constit-
cent atoms.

MorrisoE's Name Arouses EntiusInsm.

The mention of that stalwart Hi
nois democrat, William Il. Morrison,
in connection with the presidential
nomination has had an inspiring ef-
feet among democrats in his own
state no less pronounced than in all
parts of the country. That William
X. Morrison is the logical candidate
on which all elements of the great
party might naturally unite is con-
ceded by all thinking members Of
the party. The Chicago Times-Hcr-
aid of this morning affords an idea
Of the reception of the news in Illi-
nois Of the way prominent DEM
ocrats are thinking in New York:
William X. Morrison's presiden-
tial boom yesterday received an i'm
peius in the ranks Of Chicago democ-
racy which will 90 far toward giving
the sage of Waterloo the Illinois
vote in the national convention. The
Washington dispatch to the Times
Herald conveying the report that
Senator David Hill had come out for
the veteran Illinois democrat created
no end Of comment. and much of il
was favorable to Mr.. Morrison's can
didacv. In fact, the Endorsement of
MIR. Morrison by Senator Hill was
regarded rs a natural result Of exist
ing political conditions throughout
the country. The publication Of the
Washington dispatch was sufficient
to disclose the fact that Mr.. Morrison
is exceptionally strong amcng the
democrats Of Cook county, and this
is true also OF the entire state. Mr..
Morrison has safely and silently
steered through the silver breakers,
and in that respect has maintained
the confidence OF both factions Of his
party. The result is that he is hailed
AS the Moses who will unite the scat
tered tribes of hard and soft money
democrats and lead them out Of the
