A wiser and sndder King.

Even a king-if he doesn't happen to be
born in Germany or Spain--can learn
something from experience, and can fin
ally appreciate that the motion of the
world carries royalty as well as other
things along with it, says the New York
Times. This possibility is illustrated in a
way at once amusing and pathetic by a
letter which the consul general of the
Niger Coast protectorate recently receiv-
ed from Mana, once a king of some emil
hence as African kings go, but for several
years past a sorrowing exile at Accra,'
with nothing to do except to mediate
upon the disastrous results of what, for
few days. he thought was a war with
Great Britain.
II used to think my country big" he
writes land no man fit or able to touch
me- but 1 have now been away from my
country nearly three years and have seen
the world and I know 1 have been very
foolish He asks the consul to remem-
her that wisdom was not to be expected
of a man who had never left his native
village and says that the first real in
struction he ever received was when the
English man-of-war bombarded him.
Il learn big lesson now" the letter pro-
ceeds, for l lose all my cargoes, all my
cash, all my houses, and my town is now
only sand and bush. All my people are
far away, and many of my family killed
by the ship. 1 think your queen she pun
ish me plenty. beg you, consul, to ask
queen to let me sit down for my river
before L die. / swear I never do wrong
again. but will make small place for trade,
in one river close for Sapele. / hear queen
have big play for this year because she
live long past other king or queen. beg
YOU ask her to have mercy on me and pity
my case"
All this is decidedly unkingly, but Mana
confronts a condition, not a theory, as
formerly, and shows good sense, If not
heroism, by expressing a desire to turn
his royal mind TO trade.

The Albany Journal tells a story OF two
green reporters. Englishmen. who were
sent by the city editor Of a certain newspa-
per 10 a suburban town to write up the
burning of an orphan asylum. Late that
night when the news editor was wonder
ing why no copy" about the fire was COM
ing by wire, a telegraph messenger rushed
in and handed him a dispatch. He opened
IL and read:
Dear Sir: We are here. whatshall we
do?"
II was signed with the names Of the two
men sent to write up" the fire.
The news editor made few remarks
which. while they we're appropriate TO the
occasion. would not look well IN print;
then he wrote on a telegraph blank this
brief message:

The Retroactive Tariff.
From the New York Post Qnd.).

1t is incredible that the proposed
amendment can be enacted into law. It
is, as children say too mean and low
for anything" The meanness and low
ness are not lessened by saying that the
constitution does not forbid congress to
impair contracts. or by arguing that the
constitutional prohibition of an expost
facto, or retroactive, law only applies to
criminal legislation, of by contending
that congress can tax anything in the
country as often as il pleases. Whether
constitutional or not, the Grosvenor
amendment is a piece OF brutality. and It
will be resented as such by all fair-minded
men.

Details with regard TO the killing of
McCombens by Atwell at Cullman, Ala.
the other day, are meager. But the Cum
man correspondent sends out sufficient to
show that it was a very fine shot At
we'll used a rifle, and at the distance of
175 yards plugged his man the first crack.
His rife was a repeater, but it was not
necessary for him to spring the breech-
block and bring up another cartridge.
With steady hand and clear eye, he drew
his bead, after calculating the distance
and the wind, and let go. IT was bulls
eye the first time. The shot, at ITS yards
range, was an event to be recorded, show
ing as it did that Cullman still produces
marksmen.

''Half IA Loaf is Better" Etc.
From the New York Times DEM.

What there is left Of the arbitration
treaty will probably come to vote in the
Senate within few days. 1t is not sur
prising that some of the friends of arbi-
tration should think that when so little
is left 1t is not worth accepting. With
that feeling every honest man can have
sympathy but the policy is a bad one.
We should do better. very much better,
to take even the miserable remnant of
the treaty than to reject it.

CURRENT COMMENT.
The Big Fish All Escape.

From the PhiIadeIphia Ledger Und.).
An old and feeble woman has been sen
fenced to long term of imprisonment in
New York for drawing a small pension
to which she was not entitled. AS the
case Is reported, she is clearly guilty of a
fraud on the government, and must be
punished, but it seems singular that the
dragnet of the law can catch such small
offender when so many big ones escape it.

Italy has adopted the twenty-four
hour system of counting time, and
it is announced that Belgium
will follow her example. Beginning
at noon the hours are numbered con
secutively to the next noon, from one to
twenty-four. This does away with the
"a. m" and p. m" sufixes. which always
have been and always will be more or less
confusing. Under the new system, how
ever, the club man would never be able
to come home at in the morning and tell
his sleepy wife that it was just quarter
to II. In order to be truthful he would
have to confess that it was Is o'clock,

for a long time previous and filled three
tables.
The next Saturday afternoon outing
will take place at the jerks farm In Cum
berland on the 28th inst, through the
courtesy of William Taylor, the lessee OF

affair to take place in the band room, and
to be open to all residents in the vicinity

the production of silk.
Reward offered.
The Cum mberland Town Council has
offered q reward of $50 for the apprehen-
sion, detection and conviction OF any per-
son injuring the towns property. This

ago. Some one had broken into the house
and tore lot of the brass trimmings.

HAANIS TAYLOR SHUT UP.
The Ex-Minister Didn't Speak at
the Catholic University.

Washington. ID. c., Nov 26-Ex- Min
lister to Spain Hannis Taylor did not de
liver his advertised address at the Cath
Ollie University yesterday afternoon, and
although 1t was announced to the large
number of people who went out to hear
him that 1t vas because of sudden illness.
it is believed that the protest OF the
Spanish minister against allowing him to
sreak at the Catholic University had
something to dc with it. 1t did not aft .ct
the authorities Of the University any
more than it affected the Papal Legation,
but it seems to have affected Mr. Taylor
himself.
When he read in the morning that
protest had been made he telephoned out
To DR.. COnaty, the rector OF the Univer-
sity, TO learn if the published statement
was correct, and DR.. Conaty came in to
town to see him, and returned to an.
nounce that he was not we'll enough to
speak in the afternoon.
DR.. Conaty would not admit explicitly
for publication that Mr.. Taylor's absence
was due to the Spanish minister's pro-
test, nor, indeed, that Senior De LONE
had made such protest, but he iutima ted
very plainly that it was because the pro-
test had been made that Mr.. Taylor had
not come. He said, however, that Mr..
Taylor would speak Mt the Catholic Uni
versity. rs he had spoken before, and he
intimated in an indignant way that the
Spanish mini 5ter had nothing to do with
he Catholic University, and would do
we'll to attend to his own diplomatic bus
mess.
Mr.. Taylor evidently recovered very
rapidly from his Sudden illnessr for he
attended the theatre in the evening.
