Kentucky and Col. Pepper, of whisky
making fame, were in the formers CON-
mittee room al the capitol. says the Wash
ington Post. They were discussing horses.
What are you talking about?" asked

talk about something worth while? Why
don't you discuss literature or something
to improve your minds?"
Literature" said Blackburn. ''What
kind of literature do you recommend"
Il like the poets" answered Grain. II

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says THE men who are making the
most noise denouncing the United States
for leaving its continental shores to pre-
serve peace and protect life and propertv
in the islands of the Pacific which the for
tunes and responsibilities Of war have
placed in our hands, are the same men
who with equal noise demand that the
United States shall leave its continental
shores to NEEDLE in war in far South
Africa and gratuitously insult a friendly
Power by taking sides with its opponents.' .
The Macon Telegraph Dem.) says: 1.-THE
recent remarkable extension of the cotton
mill industry in the South is now being
widely acknowledged as a permanent con-
dition of the times that must be reckoned
with more and more hereafter. 1t al
ready means alarm among Northern cot
ton spinners, and that the South. in
stead of selling all its cotton at from five
to eight cents a pound, is already selling
a considerable portion of 1t, as a manu-
featured product, at from IS TO so cents
pound"
The Memphis CommerciaI-Appeal CDen)
says; National interest, national aspira-
ton and every economic reason demands
a retention Of the Philippines and the de-
velopment Of these islands. Every one
who looks a the question calmly must ad-
nit this. Those who look for anything
else being done by this nation are follow
ing a will o the wisp that will lead them
into the boys and fens OF dismay."
The Peoria QlI) Herald Dem) says:
we shall see whether or not the Repub-
deans will have the courage or the sense
to put on the free list articles that are
monopolized by the trusts with the aid OF
the high tnrlm rates. That would b.
practical answer to the question Of Wheth-
er they want 70 regulate the trusts or not"

An Eastern Ta'e of Christmas Time.
From Leslie Weekly.
Melzar, Gentle of Lystra. buffeted
harshly by fate,
Heard, with startled wonder, Paul The
Apostle great
Ignorant, wretched, unletered, he listen
ed in awe and believed;
Christ as Messiah and Mas er the simple
Gentle received.
Pondered he long the Story, the marvel
Gus Christ-child's birth,
Vision of love incarnate coming from
heaven to earth,
Often wished Me Ear, The Gentle, that he
mad beheld the star.
Following after its CLEAN ng to the sac ed
manager afar.
Ignorant quite, and untutoIed, he PIONEERED
again and again,
Wistfully hoping the beacon once more
might appear TO men.
Seeing enc eve with rapture a star with a
marve,ous light,
Melzar, i'll with fever, FASTENED into The
night.
weakened with suff'rirg and anguish, fee
bly, he rose from his bed.
Following following, whittier the star in
its beauty led.
Surely at length shall see Him." Mel
Ear, rejoicing cried:
Lead me, oh, star of Wonder, close to my
Masters Side"
Far from his home they found him, there
on the grassy plain;
Whose seeketh the Christ-child, seeketh
Him not in vain.
Surely a star vii lead them close to their
Masters side

truth had died.

Only a few days ago Wall Street bank
ers were saying that panic was threat
ened because stock spectators could not
get all the money they wanted. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury was urged
to buy more bonds, Notwithstanding the
steady upward movement of the prices
of them. Now the announcement is made
that New York bankers are thinking of
ioaning $20,OOOOOO of gold to the British
government. The truth is probably that
there is not such a scarcity of money as

1t is to be hoped that the state Senate
will follow the example of the House in
the matter of passing the anti-razor- back
hog bill. Having provided for the pen
ming of the forest destroying razor-bacl1
hogs, and for the taxing out of existence
of the sheep-killing cur dogs, the cur
rent Legislature will have earned the
thanks of the people of The State. These
laws have long been needed. but this is
the first Legislature that has had the
moral courage 10 tackle seriously the
razor-back and the dog.

Those who are watching closely the
Quay case in the Senate are of the opinion
that the delay in bringing the matter to
a head is an unfavorable sign for the
Pennsylvania boss. In addition 10 this.
attention has been drawn to the significant
fact that in pareeling out the committees
no places have been reserved for Quay in
the event of his being admitted to a seat.
It begins to look, after all, as If senate
rial decency would triumph over senatorial
courtesy IN the Quay case.

We expressed yesterday the doubt that
there would be ready acquiescence on the
part of the friends of Mr.. Hitchco, *
Oem) in the appointment of Mr.. Allen
(Pop) to the United States Senate from
Nebraska by Gov Poynter. Notwithstanding
Mr.. Bryan's part in and approval of the
course taken by the Governor. 1t APP
pears as matter of fact that Mr.. Hitch
cock has already published a card over
his signature in which he states: 81 can
not honestly deny that have been greatly
disappointed, and l feel most keenly tie
sting of ingrautude" Is it not kelly
that other Democrats throughout the state
of Nebraska will also be somewhat dis
appointed and chagrined as Mr.. Hitchcock
is and that they will resent Mr.. Bryan's
use of his influence in behalf of the Popu-
list?

THE,
PRECAUTIONS AGAINST


Our dispatches yesterday contained the
information that the authorities of Mobile
had refused a vessel from Santos permits
sion TO enter that port, although 1t had
been on the voyage from the latter place
sixty-three days, and was reported to be
in a healthy condition.
There is undoubtedly very great deal
of uneasiness on the part of the health
authorities of the Atlantic and Gulf ports
on account of the existence of the bubonic
plague at Santos, because vessels are COM
ing from there all the time to these ports.
The health authorities of New York are
having an experience with vessels arriv-
ing there from Santos with cargoes of cof-
fee that is not altogether pleasant. AT
first there was much doubt as to whether
it would be advisable to permit the coffee
to be landed and the health officers APP
peared to be against granting permission
to the consignees to have it brought ashore
until Boston announced that coffee car
goes could be landed in that city. New
York being afraid apparently of losing her
coffee trade, concluded to take the risk
of injecting the city with the plague.
Just how much danger there is to be
apprehended from vessels from infected
South American ports no one seems to
know. In fact there is comparatively
little known about the bubonic plague.
Eminent physicians have given it great
deal of study, but they are by no means
agreed in regard to 1t.
The statement is made that the Marine
Hospital Service has decided to make reg
ulations relative to the plague that will
apply to all of the Atlantic and Gulf ports
1t seems that DIR. Doty, the health officer
of New York, consulted with the Surgeon
General of that service before he decided
on the course which was pursued in deal
ing with Santos ships. He required the
coffee cargoes to be exposed eight days
before being taken into the city. 1t is I'M
derstood that the Marine Hospital Service
has decided on seven days exposure.
The greatest care ought to be taken by
| the health authorities of every one of the
Atlantic and Gulf ports against the intro
duction of the plague. If it should once
get foothold in this country it might be
almost impossible TO get rid of it. From
accounts of it received from India it is
more to be dreaded than cholera.

quiet. Sugar Refining was notably active
