A successful city physician said lately
according to the Youths Companion: Il
went, when l was a student, 10 a course
of lectures on natural science. The first
was given by Prof. Dart, a teacher of
small repute i'm a preparatory school. He
began in a pompOus, sententious tone
" The primal laws of natural science
are so reconcile as 10 challenge the com
prehension of the Hottest intellect This
was followed by the statement of these
laws in technical language, majestic and
pOnderous.
He may have known what he meant"
said the physician, but I am sure none of
his hearers knew. We listened, perplexed
and anxious, for a while, and then gave it
up, and sat careless and indifferent.
The next lecturer at the college was a
man who at that time ranked as one of
the most learned scientists in America.
The pupils were apprehensive. If we could
not understand the little man." they said,
what is the use of listening to the great
one?
However, the hail was filed, more from
curiosity 70 see the famous naturalist than
from any hope of benefit. When the hour
arrived a fatherly looking German stepped
forward, and, nodding kindly, said:
" Young men, allow me to make a per-
sona allusion. My father was a halter,

How Harris Lost SO.

Though Senator Beveridge in pursuance
of his policy of silence. did not tell this
story, the facts occurred as related while
the senator was at Nagasaki, Japan, says
the Chicago Tribune.
The consul at that beautiful japanese
city is Mr.. Harris, formerly Of Wabash,
Ind, and, like all true Hoosiers, extremely
proud of the youth and good looks of MI.

II happened hat while the senator was
calling on Mr.. Harris the transport which
was taking the officers and men of the
Tenth Pennsylvania from Manila TO San
Francisco landed at Nagasaki. Several
of the officers went on shore and started
10 pay their respects to Consul Harris,
whose consulate is at the top OF fight
of high marble steps. As the officers went
up Senator Beveridge came down, though
none Of them knew who he was After re-
ceiving them warmly Consul Harris said:

senator from Indiana and the youngest

LIFE INSURANCE. CONDEMNED.

We are learning something every day
Ministers of the German Lutheran Church
in conference in Chicago, have announced
that it is sin for a person to insure his
life Therefore, they condemn life insur-
ance.
The way they arrive a the conclusion
that life insurance is sin is this: There
are only three ways in which money can
De rightly obtained, namely, by inheri-
lance, by gift and by work Money re-
ceived from life insurance is obtained by
chance-by a species of gambling-or by
good luck. Life insurance is against the
First Commandment because ii leads a
man TO withdraw his trust in God and
place il in an insurance company. 1t is
against the Eighth Commandment because
the beneficiary gets something for which
he does not pay, and therefore he prac-
ideally steals ii, and it is against the Tenth
Commandment because the investor in life
insurance is lea to covet something which
$ not his own.
These German Lutheran ministers have
to strain point to make case. And the
case they make is not one that appeals
strongly to people who are guided in all
matters pertaining to worldly affairs by
common sense. The Lord helps those who
help themselves. Many a man has a fam
lily that is not capable of helping itself.
Therefore the head of family does not
withdraw his trust in the Lord when he
nsures his life. And he does not get some
thing for which he does not pay. If he
did the life insurance companies would be
very charitable sort of institutions They
are not that sort, however. Their aim is
to make mOney-enough to pay all claims
on them, to pay mighty big salaries 10
their principal officers. big fees to their
agents and to roll up enormous SURPRISES.
Il the insured pay for what they get they
DO not steal anything and do not covet
| anything.
The wives and children who are bene-
hciaries of life insurance are not likely to
agree with the German Lutheran minis
ters who condemn life insurance as a sin.
There are so many things which, the
world agrees, are sins TO he attacked. it
| seems a little strange that these ministers
should bother themselves to attack life
insurance. Are they looking for new sins
to conquer?

THE CONDITION OF THE SILVER
QUESTION

il would be decidedly interesting to know
just what the condition of The silver ques-
ton is Mr.. Bryan says that it is not
only alive. but is fun of vitality. on the
other hand the Republicans are continual
~ saying that it is dead A Washington
dispatch i'm the New York Times quotes
Senator Thurston of Nebraska as saying
that the silver question is as dead as last
years flowers. Nobody in the West viii
talk about it."
IT seems strange that Mr.. BRYAN and his
supporters do not cease to talk about it If
il is dead They have the best OF oppor-
tunItles Of finding out just what its actual
condition is. In the Nebraska campaign
they are discussing it with just as mucn
earnestness as they did ia 1896, and the
people appear to be listening to them.
though il must be confessed that they do
not seem TO be as deeply interested in it
as they were three years ago. Is il be
cause they are more prosperous now than
they were then that it does not interest
them so much? If hard times should come
again it is probable that they would find
the silver question just as interesting as
it was in 1896
No. the silver question is not dead. The
people are not paying so much attention
to it as they once did because money is
quite plentiful in the West now, owing
TO two good crop years and good prices,
but it doesn't follow that they would not
pay as much attention to it as ever if the
prices of farm products should again fall
below the profit line
The Republican leaders are not telling
the exact truth when they assert that the
silver question is dead. If il were dead
they would no longer have a fear of it,
That it stin causes them uneasiness is
shown by the fact that they take occasion,
whenever The opportunity presents itself
to try TO impress upon the country that
there is not any longer a silver question
This of itself proves that they do not be
lievee what they say.
In both the Nebraska aud the Ohio cam
paigns the Democrats are pressing the sill
yer question to the front Suppose the
Democrats should be victorious in each
state, would the Republican leaders stHl
contend that the silver question was dead?
1t is more than probable they would think
it a very live question. And the prospect
that in each state the Democratic ticket
will be elected is very good. If silver
were dead issue the Republicans would
have much less 10 saw about IT,

DEWEY AND THE FILIPINos.


! It is evident that Admiral Dewey has a
very kindly feeling for the Filipinos. lie

OF an effori were made to control them.
| He ought 10 understand them pretty well.

ed with their leaders and gathered from

| qualifications they have for self-govern-
ment
He says that they are not fitted for il-
! dependence now but what he says on that
point leaves the impression that they can
he prepared for independence in a com
paraliyely short time. Ia his opinion they
are better able to manage their own az
fairs than the Cubans. That this opinion
is a sound one there is not much reason
to doubt. We are going to let the Gu
bans try independence, but no one will be
surprised if they make a sorry failure
There are many very capable men among
them, but they will not be permitted to
have every thing their own way. There
are thousands of poverty stricken Cubans
of the higher class who think the island
owes them living and they propose 20
make trouble if they are not taken care
of. And the negroes are OF the opinion
that they were chiefly instrumental in
driving the Spaniards out of Cuba, AMI
they insist on being consulted about the
future government of the island If they
do not get their share of the officers there
will he trouble. Both Cubans and ne
groes have Spanish ideas in matters per
tanning 90 pubic money. The greed of
those in Office would soon pile up a big
debt, and the desire Of those out of office
% get a share of the spoils would provoke
revolutions.
Admiral Dewey says that the Filipnos
are not honest They will have to be
taught a great many things before they
will be capable of self-government. But
they can be taught, and after few years
under American control they would be
ready for the first steps toward ndepend-
| ence.
Admiral Dewey thinks it would be a
mistake to give them independence at
once. The inference from what he says.
however, is that it would be only right TO
give them independence after preparing
them for it. Why then would it not be ad-
visable for Congress, as soon as it assem-
bles, to pass a resolution that the Filipinos
are to have their Independence as soon
as they have proven their fitness for it.?
A resolution of that sort would go a long
way toward bringing about peace in the
! Philippines. The Filipinos do not trust
us now. They fear that it is our purpose
to deal with them even more harshly than
the Spaniards did. A resolution of Con-
gress would help 20 remove this fear and
open the way for a better understanding
of our intention. 1t is certain that a res
olution of the kind suggested would be
very generally approved in this country
While the people favor continuing the war
until the Filipinos acknowledge our au-
thority, they would be glad to have the
war brought to a close as soon as posi-
Bile, but on terms honorable to the govern
ment.
