A native Maori chieftain. the descendant
Of the cannibal kings, is now completing
his medical education in Chicago. Canni-
balism ended in his tribe, he says, when
Bishop Selwyn converted his grandfather;
but he tells some stories of it which have
a distinctly humorous favor. For in
stance:
1t is said that once a chief captured a
missionary who was anything but tooth
some morsel, as he was old and thin, and
looked as if his flesh would be tough. The
missionary warned the chief that ne would
not make a good dinner, and, pulling up
his trousers, cut slice off the calf of his
leg and offered it to the chief
The chief tasted it, said he didn't like
it, and passed il TO a sub-chief The sub
chief tasted it, made a wry face, and pass
ed it on. The next man who took a bite
of it spat 1t out. The missionary was re-
leased. After he had gone it was discov-
cred that he wore a cork leg.

The Emnfx Nest.

From the Chicago mes-Herald.
The nest Is empty on the bough,
The mother bird IS sad;

The younglings that she had;

Where once they gave her cheer;
Her precious little ones have flown
And left her mourning here.
And you, my little one, some day
VIII cease to need my care,
And with the birds that flew away
Find joy some otherwhere;
The halls through which your laughter
rings
VIII all be still and She
Shall claim the precious love that brings
My present joys to me.
But we shall have our vengeance, too
The mother bird and L
When younglings that are dear TO you
Get old enough to fly!
Then you shall come 10 understand
My love cen as l know
What their love was who toiled and
planned
And lost me, long ago.

But, pa, when you pull it, do you mix

boy, with crafty, far-away twinkle in
his off eye.
Hey? What's that? What the dickens

NO RETREAT UNDER FIRE.

The leading Democratic papers in va
rious parts of the country are Fastening to
repudiate the idea that the Democratic
party favors withdrawing from the Phil
ippines before our authority is recognized
by the Filipinos Some expressions which
were cheered at the meeting in New York
recently which was addressed by ex-Gov
Altgeld of Illinois, have given the Republi-
can papers some little excuse for trying to
create the impression that the Democratic
party is so much against the Philippine
war that if it had the power it would re-
call our soldiers at once.
The Chronicle the leading Democratic
paper of Chicago, in its issue of Friday
said: ut is worth while to emphasize the
declaration that if the Democratic party
undertakes TO advocate the withdrawal of
American soldiers from the Philippine
Islands in the face of armed force the
Democratic party will be defeated" We
have not a shadow of a doubt that this
statement is correct. There is one thing
that the American people will not consent
to, and that is to retire from the Philip
pines under fire. They have never known
failure in anything they have undertaken,
and they have too much pride in the dig
nifty and glory and greatness of the Amer
lean nation 10 permit 1t to be said that
they were worsted by the Tagals of Luzon.
The Democrats may think that a great
mistake was made in buying the Philip
pines and that another mistake was made
in undertaking to compel the F'ilipinos to
accept our rule, but these are mistakes
which the Republican party will have to
answer for after peace is restored in the
islands and our authority is recognized
there
We called attention the other day to the
fact that Mr.. Bryan has taken particular
pains to make 1t clear that he does not IA
vor recalling our troops from the Philip
pines as long as there is armed resistance
TO our authority there. His position is
that we don't want the islands as per-
nanent possession but that it is our duty
to assert our authority there and open the
way at the earliest practical moment for
the independence of the Filipinos. Instead
of governing the islands as colonies we
must assist the inhabitants of them in set
ting up a government of their own. Our
work in the Philippines is the establishing
| of a republic.
The Republicans want the islands as COL
onies. Theirs is a policy of expansion, i'm
perialism and militarism. The policy of the
Democratic party is independence for the
Fiipinos-a Philippine republic. The secu.
rity and perpetuity of our own institutions
require that the stamp of disapproval
shall be put on Imperialism and militar-
ism. The issue between the Democratic
and Republican parties is clean cut and
clear and the few fanatics who are hoping
| that Gen. Otis and his army Will be driven
into the sea by Aguinaldo should not be
permitted to obscure it, The Democrat
who is willing that the war in the Philip
pine shall be declared a failure, and wants
our soldiers recalled while Aguinaldo and
his army are threatening them, is helping
to bring about the defeat Of the Democrat
&c party in the national contest next year.

snuhbed Mrs. Langley.

Apropos OF the recent marriage of Mrs
Langtry a London paper tells agood story
OF that lady. Once she presided over a
refreshment stan at a charity bazaar. A
gentleman she did not know asked for a
sup of tea, and on receiving it he inquired.
How much?' "SiXpence," replied Mrs.
Langtry, and, raising the cup to her lips
and slipping from it she added, Now il Is
a guinea" Her customer laid down the
guinea, and, adding another sixpence, said:
Now will you fetch me a clean cup?"
This, adds the authority for The story,
was severe, but very neat"

THE RIGHT of NATURAL DEATH.

Life is sweet Men cling tenaciously to
it. Science exerts itself to find means
of prolonging it, and has placed it In the
power of physicians under certain condl-
tons to postpone for a greater or less
space of time the moment of the superven-
ing of death. With electric batteries and
strong drugs it is sometimes possible to
keep the heart beating and the mind
awake for hours or even days or weeks
lcnger than would have been the case had
there been no Intervention on the part of
the physician in the process of nature
And when an effort to stretch the span
yet little longer has been successful, the
medical man feels that he has won tri-
umph for science, and the relatives and
friends of the subject are gratfied that
he was kept in the world for a few extra
hours. Is it right to thus withhold the
hand of death?
Judge Baldwin, president of the Ameri-
can Bar Association and of the American
Social Science Association, discussed the
question before the latter organization al
Saratoga the other day. He took the neg
alive view of the matter Man, he argued

civilized countries, however, and particu-
larly of late years, ii has become the pride
of the medical profession to prolong the

CURRENT COMMENT.

The bachelor philosopher editor of the
Columbia Is. c., State thus writes on
living topic: There are some compensa-
lions about being poor and obscure when
we reflect upon the annoyances which ac-
company riches. 1t is true that poor girls
never marry princes except in the fairy
tales. and the young man who does not
possess pile of money is deprived of the
pleasures of lavishing diamonds and din
ners upon pretty English ballet dancers.
But the folks without the millions can
manage to find pleasure in life and at the
same time escape the publicity which 5
the fate of the wealthy. And there Is
really no good reason why the rich people
should not be allowed to live as they
please, without having their affairs price
into. Let Miss Grant marry her Russian
prince if she prefers him to an American
sovereign, and MIR. Freddie Gould should
not be bothered in his devOtions to the
English high kicker. Every one to his
taste"
The Topeka CAPITAL (Rep.) has this par
agraph: Congressman Long tells a good
story on Col Anthony at the Seneca re-
union. Comrades shouted the colonel
I do not intend 10 drag politics into my

eral rule, applying to all speakers and as
semblages, that when man says: I do
not intend 10 make political speech he
does"

The Chicago Chronicle ventures the opinion

section of this country understands that; but Mr.
Hanna is not entitled to such tremendous de-
gree of sympathy on that account A great deal
OF the pay was in patronage. Mr.. Hanna has been
extremely generous with the Federal offices, for
his own benefit; and when there have not been
enough Of them TO serve his purpose he has had
the civil service restrictions lifted, so as to
have means at his command. Men have been
appointed to United States positions without refer
ence to their qualifications. lack of them, sole
ly because they could be of account to Mr.

their party and by fitness for place have fairly
. earned appointments, have been ignored or in
suited, and traitors from the other side put in

his own money; but the demands on his purse,

and financial institutions, have been SO great
that he has paid good deal '.in trade
