SIMPSONS LATEST.

Atlanta Constitution: The Washing
ton Post is beginning to regard the new
developments in the effort OF the Navy
Department to belittle Schley ana make
Il hero of Sampson as something tragic.
and, indeed, they would be more than
serious If the officials who are con-
trolled by Sampson had any means of
obscuring well-known facts. But that
is matter in which they are power
less. The facts regarding the destruc-
ton Of Cerveras squadron were known
a few hours after they occurred; they
were published broadcast in every
newspaper in the land. and they have
since been certified to by all whose tes-
tlmony Is Of any value whatever. Con-
sequently. nothing that can be done to
cover them up by those who desire TO
make Sampson the hero OF the occa-
sion, though he was miles away. viii

Post, however-and 1t certainly is as,

of The Century Magazine should lend

DEPRESSING EFFECTS.

The depressing effect OF the gold
standard on the industries of the land
is such that only an extraordinary COM
Junction of most favorable circum-
stances, such as crop failures abroad,
anu unprecedented home crops for two
years, have been able to stay for the
moment the downward course of prices
ana turn Scanty flow OF gold to our
shores. But for these strange and con-
elusive facts prices would be lower
than ever, and bond issues to maintain
gold redemption the order Of the day.
Il seems as though Providence, seeing
we were madly determined on self-de-
struc'ion, lnterfered wonderfully to
prevent it. An unparalleled excess Of

THE TRUST PUZZLE.

The twisting. squrming. and ma
noeuvering of politicians to avoid the
odium OF trusts and take advantage OF
the unpopularity of the enormous COM
bnations recently formed furnish a
subject for serious thought There is
no doubt that all parties in the next
national campaign Will adopt platforms
violently against trusts. The Republi-
can party will be so vindictive in It's
language against those institutions that
no other party can exceed its violent
abuse. The question To be solved is:
VIII the people ever find out who is
responsible for trusts? The gold stand

exports, nearly nine hundred millions

is. it has simply arrested the fail of

THE CAT AND ITS MISTRESS
A Famous Painter of Fe1fnes Dis
closes an Odd secret-Its
Reaulta.

Louis Vain, the famous cat painter,
has found out a secret. II n woman pos
sesses a cat and the cat, after being con-
stantly with her, be suddenly removed
into a wider society. the characteristics
OF its mistress in her most intimate
life will he developed in the creature.
says the Philadelphia Times. II
madame be snappy. her pet will scratch
and swear; if sulky, pussy will follow
suit. The test is an unfailing one.
Awful are the possibilities which this
unsuspecting gentleman has let loose
upon usl No longer will II be possible
10 hide our secret faults under a bland
ora gushing society demeanor. The man
who wishes to test his fair one need
love, with a baleful gift OF a Persian
kitten; then, direfully hiding his time,
wait till that fateful ball of fluff shall
have come TO cats estate, when he will
bride a maid TO abstract the creature
from the safe retreat Of a cushiony
boudoir; he will take il to his rooms;
he will tease IL and feed ii on indigesti-
BILE viands; and then, when the feline
lady very naturally shows resentment,
he will decide that her mistress has
an undesirable temper, and will prompt
ly break off his engagement.
Moral: Leave puss TO the married
woman or 10 the confirmed old maid.
The gay young eligibles should bestow
their affections upon the dog, who is far
too generous TO tell tales out OF school.
