SENATOR SCOTT'S CONDITION.

Resting Somewhat Easier Last Night,
but It is too Early 70 Predict the
Result ofthe Attack.
special Dispatch to the Inteillgeneer.
MoRGANTowN. W. Va. Oct. IA
Senator scott's condition is not so un-
favorable this evening. His temper
allure has not been 60 high as yester-
day. and he has suffered less pain
during the afternoon. His physicians
hope to be able to predict the resul,
Of the attack tomorrow. and tonight
feel somewhat encouraged.
During the afternoon Mr. Scott was
able to sleep some. The rest did him
good. The arrival of trained nurses
froA Pittsburgh. which was the near
est point. also gave Mrs. Scott an OPP
portunity to secure a little rest.
Postmaster Wise arrived ON the early
morning train, and has been at the
senator's bedside as often as DR.. Fitch
would permit. Many messages of In
qulry and sympathy were received, and
Mrs Scott appreciates. as does the
senator, the kindness expressed in
them.

Some MiddIe-West Talk.

II s usual, the New York Sun went
4 off wrong in the speakership
question. AS usual, likewise,
that newspaper convert to republican
ism was vicious in it's attack on the
candidate who now appears to be as
good as assured of winning the speak
ership fight. The Sun had no idea that
Mr.. Reeds successor would be a man
representing any, constituency west of
Buffalo. So, when Henderson of Iowa
was well in rivalry for the office of
speaker, the Sun pitched into him pell
nell. Henderson's candidacy grew
more and more formidable; the Suns
assault on him intensified in bitterness
More interesting than the Suns I'M
fairly-harsh attack on Henderson was
the Chicago imes-Herald's retorts at
the Sun. The Times Heralds talk is
the more worthy Of attention in this
particular instance because that news
direct from the private office of the
president of the United States. This
Chicago organ professed to be for Hen
derson as "a western man. 1t views
with contempt the new republicanism
of the New York Sun, newspaper
which" says the Times Herald. was
never faithful to any man until he was
dead, or to any party except for plum
der-which, while still democratic
sheet. betrayed Hancock, bolted Cleve-
land and slobbered over Ben Butler.
Think of this three-year- old apologist
for Plattism presuming to question the
republicanism of David Bremner Hen
dersonn'
AS those who are acquainted with
Henderson's record are aware, he came
out of the war of the rebellion minus
leg. Having this fact in mind, the
Times-Herald breaks out in this style:
why, there is more loyalty to party
and to country in General Henderson's
amputated leg than in the entire New
York Sun outfit, including Thomas C.
Platt, Matthew S. Quay ava the brood
of bosses which use it for subsidized
cats-paw."
Which in broad, plain talk as to
Platt and Quay, when one remembers
that the Times-Herald is looked upon
as the court journal Of the Mckinley
administration.

which Foot walks Faster?

If you will take any pavement that is
clear of other pedestrians, so that there
shall be no interference, and walk briskly
in the center you will find that before you
have gone 100 yards you will have Veered
very much to one side.
You must not make any conscious effort
of course, to keep the center, or you may
do it, and if you will only think of some
thing and endeavor to walk naturally it
is 100 to you cannot keep direct line
The explanation of this lies in the pecu-
liarity of one foot to walk faster than
the other. Or. to be more correct, per-
haps it should be said one leg takes d
longer stride than the other, and this.
combined with the quicker movement,
causes one to walk more to one side than
the other.
You can try an interesting experiment in
this way if you will place two stakes in
the lawn about eight feet apart and then
stand off about so feet, allow yourself to
be blindfolded and endeayor 10 walk be-
tween them. You will find 1t almost an
impossible task, because one foot will go
a bit faster than the other, either to the
right or left.

gave him authority to increase the
army by calling thirty-ffve thousand
men into service.
Thus far President McKinley--as is
his wont--has hesitated. The admins
tration coterie realizes that there is a
world of bad political effect wrapped
up In the increase of the army to the
unpleasant total that now seems i'm
perative. That is a point which the
president ought to have considered be-
fore the treaty of peace with Spain
was signed. When, contrary to what he
had given the country to expect Of him.
Mr.. Mckinley arranged the terms of
peace that We're finally agreed to, he
settled, for the present, the question
of expansion--he fully committed this
country to that policy. When he is
sued his proclamation notifying the
Filipinos that 1t is the purpose Of the
United States to exercise undisputed
authority, the president mapped out for
himself a course which he cannot
modify without furnishing the prestige
of this government in the eyes of all its
hCiS IuOIS.
So that the only thing for the presi-
dent to do is to go ahead with his con-
quest scheme. 1t is not for him to say
what sort of government we shall set
up at Manila; it is the function of con-
gress ito deal with that part of the BUSH
ness. But Mr. Mckinley has been en-
powered to call into service the soldiers
needed to put the Philippine islands
under this country's heel. He is COM.
mitted to policy which is rapidly be-
coming unpopular with the American
people, but that is neither here nor
there, now. 1t is admitted that there
must, in any event, be more troops in
the islands than the administration had
supposed. Already the time consumed
for their conquest is longer than had
been anticipated. But the president,
in any event, must go ahead, and while
the question of the effect of a long and
costly war upon the political fortunes
of Mr.. Mckinley is of cardinal signifi-
canoe to him, that is not the matter of
chief account to the American people.

Awfully Bad.

| IN every occasion that calls for
a bit of poetry to commemor-
ate the event, England's laur-
| cate, Mr.. Austin, furnishes something
that adds to the gaiety of the critics.
OF course, Mr.. Austin was in duty
bound to make some verses on the re-
cent eighteenth birthday of Queen
Victoria. These were new proofs of
the distance that intervenes between
Tennyson and Austin, and new op-
portunity for fun in literary circles
The Londoners are this laureate's
severe critics. They show him to be
an unmusical writer of verses and a
woefully bad writer of history. His
madrigal published in the Court Cir
, cular says that
with wisdom, goodness, grace she
= filled
For fifty years the throne"
In fact, the term should be sixty
two years, instead of fifty. As anus
ing as any of the comment on Aus
tins recent effusion is letter adj
dressed to the Daily Mail which says:
Il was much interested in your two
articles on the poet laureate's 'Madri-
GAL l had formed my own opinion
with regard to the poets inspiration
but, seeking confirmation, I read the
first verse to three persons at differ
ent times, and asked what it suggested
to them, and they each confirmed my
views by unhesitatingly replying
Mary Had a Little Lamb Compare
"'And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was sure to go
with
And whatsoe'r her people willed
That will she made her own -
Manifestly, this laureate never was
and never will be a poet. His latest
efforts convince the intelligent public
that he is not even a reasonably good
rhymster

There Must Be Men.

I may be that General Otis will cam
paign right through the rainy sea-
son. regardless of the military
methods which the Spaniards always
have followed, in their tropic opera
tions. In former times it wasn't the
fashion in the military world to cam
paign during the winter. Napoleon
departed from the precedent in this re-
spect. AS there has been in modern
days more or less of military operation
in winter, so it may be that General
Otis departing from the Spanish plan
will fight in the rainy season.
The principal question concerns the
equipping of General Otis with the
necessary quota of troops. Whether
the total required for the conquest of
the Philippine island be thirty thou
sand men or a hundred thousand, the
fact remains that, by universal confess
sion, the work requires thirty thou
sand, at any rate, and it is admitted
that General Otis lacks that number of
efficient fighting men-naturally the
number of invalids included in his COM
mand is large, owing to Philippine con-
ditions. Another fact not open to con-
troversy is that it is within the presi-
dents power to provide the commander
at Manila with this force-congress

Another Traitor.

~ ND now comes the word, through
the Washington Post, that the
Hon. Thomas B. Reed will not
leave the house of representatives, but
that he will hold his seat for the pur-
pose, mainly, of opposing Mr.. McKin-
ley's expansion policy. 1t is said that
Mr.. Henderson will be an entirely ac-
ceptable speaker to Reed, and that the
Maine man has specially requested
that he be not given any important
committee appointments, to the end
that he may be free lance" on the
floor.
Possibly Mr.. Reed will take the pre-
caution to read up a little in the code of
moral treason" and not say very
much, for 1t is really an awful thing
for anybody, and especially for a re-
publican of presidential caliber to be-
come a traitor" We are not quite
sure where he will find the code in
question-in the course of our limited
researches we have never run across
it and we really would not know that
there was such a thing but for the
stray illusions to it which we have seen
in administration papers.
A small portion of the ex-speaker's
anticipated fees judiciously invested in
the newspapers which just now claim n
monopoly of patriotism may give him
some new ideas and prove of value to
the firm of which he has become
member. If it do him no other good this
investment may, at least, keep him
within the lines of safety We feel a
measure of friendly solicitude for Mr.
Reed. He is naturally laxative man
we trust that he will not be so inds-
Greet as to suggest that there is. or has
been, anything wrong either with the
administration foreign policy or in the
conduct of the war Ifsfor example, he
should happen Ito Intimate that. gatling
guns and Krag -Jorgensen rifles are
rather curious Observation-Disclosures of
friendly assmilations'Iit might be con-
strued as encourag cement to the Fill
pinos.
Or, if the ex-speaker should chance
to drop a sarcastic remark concerning
bad beef" the tendency of that might
be to discourage enlistments into the
army. Either, of course, would be
moral treason under the new code
We sincerely trust that Mr. Reed will
be careful. For some years past he
has occupied a position in which the
range of his vision has. of necessity,
been considerably restricted, ana he
may not be entirely abreast of advanc-
ing modern thought-especially on the
subject of moral treason
