1t is rather difficult to understand the
purpose of the bill of Mr. Tatum of Dade
10 make railroad engineers liable for 10
per cent. of the damage assessed for the
killing of live stock, unless 1t be that Mr..
Tatum has the idea that engineers run
down and kill cows for the fun of the
thing, and that the only way to make
them stop il is to hold them pecuniarily
liable. Is IL desired that the eng ineers
shall get down and "shoo" the COWS off
the track? The remedy for recklessness
on the part of an engineer lies with the
company. If it finds one of it's men ad-
dicted 10 the pastme OF butchering COWS
with his engine it can fire him; and that
no doubt is what the company usually
does. And further is Mr. Tatum quite
sure that there is a demand for a law TO
discourage the killing of COWS by railway
engines? il Is well known fact that the
engine always picks out the highest priced
animal In the drove to wreak its bloody
fury upon.

Actors ana Their Hotel Rooms.

Here, boy" called the clerk of one of
the city hotels the other afternoon, "show
this gentleman up to 'steen hundred and
six" The guest who had just registered
was sedate and middle-aged, but his
smooth-shaven jaw and an indescribable
something about his dress and bearing

you gave him as bad as all that?" asked
the other, smiling. "Oh, no, it's one of the
very best in the houSe-but Just wait and
see" The clock had licked off barely
eight minutes when, true to his prediction,
the actor reappeared. "Ah, excuse me-"
he began in an apologize tone, "but-er-
would it be possible for you to move me
to some other apartment? I don't quite
fancy the one I'm in, doncherknow. +"
Certainly, sir replied the clerk, politely
Boy, move the gentleman to 'steen

asked the onlooker when the player had
disappeared to his new quarters ''Why
simply this replied the clerk. "Theatri-
cal people, as a class, like to shift rooms
as soon as possible after they arrive at the
house. They have q superstition that they
leave their bad luck in the first apartment
1 had no intention of giving that gentle
man the room he went to first. To begin
with, it's too expensive for the rate he s
paying, and, moreover, it is already en-
gagged by a regular patron, who will be

to send an actor who is going to shift to

Admiral Dewey is something of an icon
oclast. Since his arrival in this country
he has denied that he said: You may fire
when ready, Gridley" And he has also
denied that he stopped the fight and with
drew the fleet in order that the crew might
have breakfast. In respect to the now
famous alleged command which began the
battle, the Admiral says: The truth is
that Gridley was in another part of the
ship, and did not have the chance to say
it to him There was no particular COM
mand given. The signal was set that we
were going into action, and no other words
were given than would ordinarily occur at
such time" Still, Notwithstanding all of
this, the quotation win live, and go into

the occasion was ripe for them and they
should have occurred, why that is their
own fault, and veracious chroniclers
should not be chided If they endeavor to
remedy the fault by making it appear that
they did occur If history were expunged
of all the clever speeches there recorded
that were never spoken. and of all the dra-
matte situations that were never enacted.

BRYAN,s PHILIPPINE POSITION

1t is stated that Mr.. Bryan has told the
Democratic National Committee that oppo-
sition to the necessary war measures for
compelling the Filipnos to recognize the
authority of our government would not be
popular, as the people are sensitive as to
the national honor, and that while ne was
not an imperialist he believed in fighting
the Philippine war 70 a finish. He de-
clared he had no faith in those who are
opposing the war in the Philippines
Assuming that Mr.. Bryan is quoted cor.
rectly his sentiments are those of the rank
and file of the Democratic party The
genuine Democrats do not believe in back
ing out of a fight, however much they may
regret getting into one. When the Ameri-
can army and navy shall have brought the
Filipinos to their senses. and peace reigns
in Luzon, it will be time then for the
American people to decide whether the
Philippine Islands shall be an American
colony, or republic under the protection
of the American government
No American worthy of the name would
be willing for this country to give way to
such a people as the Filipinos. War with
them should have been avoided, If it could
have been, which is doubtful, but it would
be a stupendous blunder to show any hes
itation now in our war measures. The
Filipinos must be licked first and talked
to afterwards.
Democrats who are simple enough to be-
lieve that those Republicans who are run
ming the anti-imperialistic and anti-an-
nexation business have any sympathy with
Democratic doctrines or the Democratic
party, or would vote for Democrat for
President, especially Mr. Bryan, should
study the history of the Republican party
and its leaders. They quarrel and even
fight over great and little issues, but when
the party whip cracks they fall into line
and begin to fight their old political foes.
Mr. Bryan is right in saying that there
must be no anu-expansion plank in the
Democratic national platform. There is
nothing TO be gained and much to be lost
by declaration of that sort.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Atlanta Journal Dem0 says: "a
recent report of the federal department of
labor furnishes some interesting and as
founding statistics in reference to the eff
feet of legislation upon the drink habit
These statistics are compiled from 40
cities in the United States which have 3d.
90 or more population, and they present
some queer facts. For instance, Spring
field, Mass, Manchester, n. H., and Utica,
n. Y, have each about $1,000 inhabitants.
Utica is under the Raines law, Spring
field under the high license system of
Massachusetts, and Manchester under
nominal prohibition. The New Hampshire
city has no legal saloons, while Spring
field has forty-seven and Utica 252. But
Manchester has had 1456 arrests for drum
kenness during the past year. while
Springfield had 1.43l still more remarka-
Bile is the record of only 765 arrests in
Utica only about half as many as in
Springfield, although there are more than
five times as many saloons. Almost as
anomalous is the showing of only 1888 ar
rests in Dayton. o., with 400 saloons and
5000 people, while Hartford, Conn, with
1000 people and but PIG saloons reported
2460. Ii has been demonstrated long ago
that legislation to prevent men from
drinking intoxicating liquors will not ac-
complish the intended effect. and the re-

W. o. W. Ball.

The first annual ball given last Mon
day evening by the Woodman of the
World was the first public dance of
the season, a fact conceded by all, not
a single discordant feature to mar the
evenings enjoyment. For the first
time in its history the hall was deco
rated, and IL was done in a thorough
and artistic manner with flags and
bunting draped in an artistic manner
from large representation of The
World hung in the center of the hall,
while the word "Welcome," wish
echoed by every sovereign present, was
displayed npon the walls. The large
crowd which completely filled the hall
departed at a late hour, leaving the
Woodmen serene in the belief that
they had pleased their patrons so we'll
that future balls would be as largely
attended as was this. 1t may not be
amiss to state that the fraternal in
surance organization of which the
Cresco camp is a part, has, although
of comparably recent origin, rapidly
forged its way to the front, and now
is one of the largest in point of num-
bers and In popularity leads, posses
sing as it does special advantages
which no other insurance scheme has.
The Cresco camp ID sharing in the
general prosperity of the order, from
one to four new members being added
at every meeting, and as the people
become acquainted with its merits and
see the high claims of its members,
physically, mentally and socially, its
growth will become even more rapid
in the future.
