There are few men whose acquaint-

DO the right thing in the right place
and his wonderful adaptability enabling
him to appear at ease in every position
10 which duty calls him. Human ma
ture is TO him an open book, and what
ever page opens to his gaze he is inter-

call from the humblest with no less
gentleness and alertness than he does
to royalty's invitation, and many are
the stories of his goodness which his
friends love TO tell about him.

gave her what she so much desired, his
last blessing, after which he asked her
if there were not some wish ungrati-

her. She acknowledged that there was,
but at the same time refused to tell it
for fear he would think her very world

yielded to his kind persuasion and con-
fessed that she had very great desire

Frommel determined to crafty her

Uncle Sam has treated Spain with
the utmost courtesy, and now it is hint
ed that Spain viii reply curtly TO the
Woodford note, informing the United
States that if her commerce has suf-
fered during the Cuban war it is her
own fault in not stopping filibustering.
United States has a great patience,
but if it should call off from labor to
refreshment and those filibusters were
left alone to do their work, unchecked
by the naval and revenue vessels of
this government, the Spaniards would
soon see where their impertinence had
landed them. Uncle Sam has no need
to do a thing in order to secure the
independence of Cuba. Let him with
draw his ships that police the coast
of Florida and Georgia and the Caro-
linas and see where Spain would be.
There would be $4,000 American SOL
diers over there in three months and
the Spanish troops would be in the
soup.

Queen Victoria is a mighty nice old
lady, but she is needlessly alarmed
over the instability ofthe United States.
She will find us stable enough to main
tain our own institutions, increase our
commerce at the expense of her own,
carry our freights in our own bottoms
instead paying toll to her ships, man
ufacture our own goods at home,
charge her people for the privilege of
coming into our markets to sell and
dispute her right to the earth. We are
stable enought for these things. She
is so unstable that her government in
London dare not decide anything con-
corning the United States without
Canada. Her home gov
eminent is so unstable that the govern
ment of one of her colonies has Vir-
tually a veto power over her own or
ders in council.

That Democratic conference in Co
lumbus was an eye opener to McLane.
He found that his barrel was not all
potent, and that his open candidacy
for the United States Senate was very
unpopular with his party, in that it
fatally handicapped them in their eff
forts to carry the state. Gen. War
ner will be the candidate of the state
Democracy, if they carry the state,
but there is no danger of that and
Warner will not be needed. 1t is a
hard pill for brother McLane all the
same and the split will not be allowed
to heal by the first intention. The
Republicans will elect Hanna and that
will make peace.

The collection of debts is one Of the
necessities of business. The good col
Iector is seldom left with the bag to
hold. He secures himself against loss
in this way and always has the means
to replenish his stock in trade and en-
large his business as its demands re-
quire. The merchant who sells and
does not collect is on the high road
to a speedy bankruptcy. 1t is just
the same way with the city, and the
city that does not collect its revenues
is on the high road to reputation.
San Antonio is suffering today in a
score of ways because her revenues
are delinquent and her debtors do not
settle. The city government needs
money and the only way that she can
secure it is by collecting what is due
her. The taxpayers should not force
her to collect by law.

CONSERVATIVES HEADS.
A Medical Man Says That'as a Rule They
Are Flat Sided.

Are RAT sided.
Consumptives have fiat sided heads.
This interesting discovery has been
made by Dr. Mark l. Knapp of New
York. His paper ON the subject, read
before the New York County Medical
association, is printed in The Medical
Record
One of the conclusions of DR. Knapp
is that tuberculosis can neither be in
fictitious nor communicable. This is the
opinion held by DR.. Shrady, editor Of
The Medical Record, and is the opinion
not held by DR.. Wilson and his asscyi-
ates of the New York city board Of
health.
However this deduction is regarded
by medical men generally, DR.. Knapp
does not intend to be understood as say
ing that the fact that man has fiat
sided head called medically a plano
parietal head) either already has or that
he of necessity is doomed TO have tuber-
culosis. That this assumption would be
absurd DR.. Knapp shows by saying that
centenarians and athletes are recruited
from the ranks of the plano parietals
Nor does ne wish to be understood as
meaning that tuberculosis modifies the
contour of head which previously had
been of a different shape DR.. Knapp
says his statements are substantiated by
a few hundred cases, of which AIT were
collected from four New York hospitals
In all these cases only four exceptions
to the rule We're found
The most important conclusion
reached by DR.. Knapp is that the foun-
dation of tuberculosis is laid in early
life, and therefore the way to save the
adult is to guard the child

the worst aspect they present. There
