A foreign surgeon has put for
ward the suggestion that appendi-
citis is caused by the habit Of cross
ing the legs, which. restricts the ac-
ton Of the digestive apparatus. The
appendix is only loosely attached to
the ceeunl, and there is always some
half -digcsted food in the cacal bag.
BY crossing the legs there is liabili-
'ty that the undigested food may
pass into the vermiform appendix
and set up an inflammation, in a
few hours pathological processes
set in, and al attack of appendicitis
is dcveloped.-Scientif American.

Making Haste Now.

Secretary Root. General Ayers successor
as Secretary of War, is deyoting his whole
attention to the war in the Philippines. Gen.
Miles, whom Alger and Mckinley sought to
discredit, is now consulted upon military mat
tiers. and his advice that the army in Luzon
be increased to $4,000 men, so as to have an
effective force of 10000. has beeu accepted.
Troops are being hurried TO the Philippines,
so that vigorous campaign can be prosecuted
as soon as the rainy season is over. The
opinion Of Senator Burrows, and other Re
publican leaders, to the effect that if the war
in the Philippines is not ended or the end IN
sight next year Republican success in the
Presidential election will be endangered, may
also have something to do with Secretary
Roots determination to have a vigorous
campaign against the Filipiuos. If Presi

Otis would probably be allowed 70 waste time.
money and u.an as he has been the past SIX
months. But. will 5000 effective men be
able to subdee eight or ten millions of people
struggling for liberty and seli-government, Is
a question. The United States army and
naval officers have had year TO study the
situation in the Philippines. Otis thought
10000 men would suffice to subjugate the
Filipinos. He Is to be given 10000 more
and if he fails, it viii be a confession OF in
capacity of the Mckinley Administration TO
cope with the situation. The result Of this
last effort will be awaited with interest, and
if failure results the Republican leaders,
like Senator Burrows, may well tremhle for
party success next year.

The registrars of voters will sit soon for the
registering ofthose persons entitled to vote who
have not heretofore had their names entered
on the books, and for striking off those who
have died or moved away. Young men who
will be twenty -one years Of age by election
day, and will have lived in the state one year
and the county six months, will be entitled 10
register at the September sitting.
There are a number of candidates for local
Offices. All hope to be nominated; and if
nominated, want to be elected. Every Demo
crat entitled to vote should be registered, and
we suggest to these candidates that they could
put in a little time very proftaby to the party
by hunting up unregistered voters and Undue
ing them to get registered; also in ascertain
ing the names of Republicans who should be
stricken from the lists and file them with the
registrars

Wellington's Opinion.

The Cumberland bank clerk, who holds a
seat in the United States Senate, is very much
displeased with the Democratic platform in
this state, and does not think the Democratic
ticket any ''great shakes" Wellington is
more conspicuous for bad temper and bad
manners than for good sense and good Judg-
ment, and what he thinks of either the ticket
or platform is not disturbing the Democrats
nor attracting any attention from large
number of Republicans who have something
M their sleeves for him and Lowndes in No
vember. Wellington is simply an accid
in politics, but his conceit will never permit
him to realize it. Even when he is cast out
of the Senate, as he surely will be at the end
of his term, he will still imagine himself a
great leader and statesman. The people will
know. however, that he was simply bank
clerk. ambitious, bad tempered and bad man
nered.

Wants Recognition.
From the Baltimore Sun. Aug. 9.

From the BalllhOTe SUM- aug. >
Aguinaldos appeal to the powers for recognition
of the independence of the Filipino Republic Is
fortified with strong arguments, but is unlikely TO
obtain a favorable response His contention Is
chiefly that independence was achieved virtually
before the Americans appeared at Manila and that
the Filipinos created the conditions that enable
the Americans to capture that city. Spain no long
err held the archipelago and was not in Il position
to sell it, being unable to deliver the goods
There is also documentary evidence to show that
by implication the Americans, before the capture
OF Manila, recognized the independence of the re-
public It is therefore now entitled to recog milton
as independent of the United States as we'll as
Spain.
But the powers will doubtless abstain from CIV
ing the Filipino dictator any encouragement, being
unwilling to offend the United States. 1t is rather
carly in fact TO claim recognition. The American
colonies waited many years before they got it. The
United States it is true, has been quick sometimes
to recognize the independence of SPANS col
onies but it 1t would be premature for other powers
to interfere while hostilities between the United
states and the alleged republic are still in process
We iuterfered in Cuba no doubt, but that was lin
the interest of humanity AMI to put a stop TO
useless carnage and devastation. All depends on
whose OK it is that is being gored,

The American Sin.

Rev. W. A. Crawford Frost, rector of the
P. E. Church of the Holy Comforter, baltl-
more. last Sunday made these remarks IN his
morning sermon
aTbere is one sin which believe to be pre-emi-
nently the American sin 1t is the neglect of prac-
tical politics by the most enlightened ana pest
people The American SIN is not the pursuit OF we
almighty dollar for it is not always wicked 10 seek
the mower of the dollar Money Is only the meas
ure of power and the means 6y wie an 1t STIy
sought in Europe as it is in America: me AneIl-
can sin consists in this That the lnteIngent let
triumnh: that the people of good taste and ludg-
ment let those of vulgar self asSerrveneSs hold the
reins"
Rev. Mr.. Frost is an Englishman. who has
recently renowned his allegiance to Queen
Victoria and proposes to become citizen OF
the United States In his study and observa-
ton of American politics he has observed a
very prominent fact and accurately compre-
hended the situation-''the neglect OF pract-
cal politics by the most enlightened and best
people"
The need of the hour is the taking of more
interest in primaries and conventions by more
of the substantial citizens, the intelligent cit
liens, the business men and taxpayers. Too
many of these neglect this high duty, and too
many of them decline to accept pubhc othce
because it would cause some Inconvenience
and sacrifice of personal interests. The very
class Of citizens who so act, or rather decline
to act, are the first to complain of any lack of
intelligent administration Of affairs.
There is today demand for the entry into
practical politics of more of the intelligent
class. We are glad to note that in Baltimore
this demand has been met to very satisfac-
tory degree, and the demand should be met
in the nominees on the Democratic county
tickets. If the substantial citizens and tax
PAYERS stand aloof from primaries aud con-
yent;ons. and withhold advice as to nominees,
first-class tickets cannot be expected. The
applicants for office-those who are working
to have themselves nominated-are not al
ways the best. 1t is very proper for those
who desire public Office to announce that
desire to the voters Of the party, but there IS
seldom occasion for unusual effort to secure
preferment. tits the repugnance to scramble
for place that prevents many men from seek
ing nominations, and in view Of this nomina-
ting conventions should not confne their
choice to those who are openly and sggres-
sively promoting their own personal interests
