CURRENT COMMENT.

Respecting the war in South Africa the
Philadelphia Times Qnd) says: Nothing
succeeds like success, and the nation
whose military operations prosper is the
one that readily makes friends Yet real
lv the political or ethical or chronological
ASPECT of the war in South Africa is not
changed by a battle or two and IL docs
not make the Boer army the less an OBJ
stacle to the development of civilization
in Africa to find that he can handle
modern rife and hold his mountain passes
against a European army. The negroes
Of Abyssinia can do that, and that is what
Kruger had been getting ready to do long
before he saw his opportunity TO strike.
The strongest feeling among Americans
generally is probably not very different
from that which prevails among English
rnen-the wish that the war had never be-
gun. But II is idle TO talk about stopping
il now. and the people who are bracing
themselves to a determined effort to carry
il through with honor have at least as
much claim upon our friendly interest as
they had when they started out cock-sure
of easy victory.
The New York Times (Dem), comment
ing on the future of the Philippines says:
"A Southern man who Is in favor of civ
ing up our new territory ought to have
his bumps examined. The normal mind
should be able to perceive at once that
the interests OF the South, its progress,
and its prosperity will be powerfully pro-
noted by the new commercial currents
set in motion by the establishment of
these outposts The great issues in the
South to-day are an isthmian canal and
the development of the cotton trade with
the Far East"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal CDem)
Is very ardent expansionlst. 1t says:
During the recess Of Congress Demo-
cratic members should go into a retreat
as members of some religious orders do
where by prayer and fasting they may
clarity their minds and come forth at the
end OF the term resolved never 10 talk
fOollshly any more about imperialism"
The Republican National Convention
win be held in Philadelphia. New Jersey
h Just across the river. The Birmingham
Age-Hcraid says: The Republican Ma
tionai Convention will very properly be
held next door 10 the source and resting
place Of iho trusts. The Two have al
ways worked harmoni0usly together"

MORE Pensions WANTED.

1t is said that an unusually large num-
Der of pension bills have been introduced
into this Congress. If some of these bills
those which provide for making new
classes of pensioners-shouId become laws,
the pension burden would be probably
5000 600 a year. instead of $14OOO 900 as
a present.
There are bills which provide for taking
down the bars. as it were, and giving a
pension to about everybody that served
on the Union side during the war of Sc
cession. And 1t would not be at all sur
prising if the great majority of the Re-
pub,icans in Congress were to favor pen
sion legislation that would greatly increase
the pension burden.
1t is to be expected of course that many
of those who served in the war with
Spain and in the Philippine war will be
put on the pension list. 1t is probable,
however that of this class of pensioners
those who get pensions will deserve them.
The pension bills against which there is
a strong and growing public sentiment are
those which provide for new classes of
pensioners from among those who COM
posed the Northern armies in the war of
secession.
The Grand Army of the Republic is
very influential body, and the pension at
torneys have been doing their utmost, il
is said, to get it to demand more sweep
ing pension legislation. The Republican
party win take into account the soldier
vote in considering pension bills. There
has always been a great deal of politics
in pension legislation. If pension bills
had depended upon their merit it is doubt
full if the pension appropriation would have
ever reached $1O0O0O,0O0 per annum.

one needs not to be a traitor to .his
country to feel sympathy for Aguinaldo.
Misfortunes have fallen heavily upon him
of late. He has lost his child. his wife,
most Of his following and his prospect of
political power, and is a fugitive in the
tastnesses Of Luzon in danger of losing his
liberty If not indeed his life at any mo-
ment. Under the circumstances it would
seem that he would quit the unequal con-
test against fate and thus avoid further
useless bloodshed.

the story that she was fiogged every Mon

Silver Dollar Smith, the New York
politician, who died a few days ago, and
who won his sobriquet through having
studded the floor and walls of his saloon
with silver dollars, was not an Irish
man, as was generally supposed, but an
Austrian. For years he was one Of the
unique characters of the metropolis. He
served five terms in the legislature and
FIVE terms on the Board of Aldermen.

A practical joker who richly deserves a
term in the penitentiary resides in Port
land, Me. The other day after the failure
of the bank in Boston and the collapse of
a big financial institution in New York
he went around to various places and ask
ed. did you hear the news about the
Portland Savings Bauk?" No." would be
the reply. well" the joker would go
on, sit closed its doors at 8 this afternoon"
And then he would walk briskly away
Nobody stopped to think that 1t was the
the custom of the bank to close its doors
at every day. the business of the day be-
ing over, and the result was run on the
bank which narrowly escaped being OF
serious consequences. The bank was as
solid as a rock, but after II had paid out
$4,000 as fast as it could be counted, legal
notice on all amounts above 500 was de-
manded. This gave time for an explana-
ton of the fool joke to be circulated
and the run was stopped.

Truth Above All Things.

The person who goes against his
own interest by the rigidness of his
devotion to truth sometimes finds that
he has served his interest in that very
way. An English paper tells this
story:
A boy once applied at store for
work.
we don't like lazy boys here" said
the manager. Are you fond of work."
''No, sir" responded the boy. looking
the other straight in the face.
"Oh, you're not, are you? Well, we
want O boy that is.
There amt any," said the boy, de-
cidcdly.
"Oh, yes, there are. We have had
over half dozen OF that kind this
morning to take the place we have.
How do you know they are?" asked
the boy.
They told me so"
80 could l, but I'm not q liar"
And the lad said 1t with such an arr
of convincing energy that he was en-
gagged ct once.

HAIR PLANTING.
Successful Experiments of a Turkish
Physician.

Physician.
A Turkish physician has been ex-
perimenting successfully on the trans
planting of hairs one by one to bald
parts of the scalp. His results seem
to show that there is no impossibility
in the complete renewal of lost head
Of hair by this means. The physician,
Dr. Menahem Hodara, according to
foreign paper, tried his experiments
in the case of disease that had re-
moved part of his patients hair. His
plan was to scarify the bare surface
and to implant thereon hairs removed
from other parts of the patients head.
The hairs used for the purpose were
trimmed with scissors at each end.
Some four weeks after implantation a
certain number of the hairs were
found to have taken root, and in no
long time a goodly new crop was pro-
duced Encouraged by these results,
DR.. Hodara has since applied the
method in other cases OF badness fol-
lowing favus, and he thinks himself
justified in stating that "clinically
there can be no doubt as to this very
curious fact--that small bundles of
hair stems cut with scissors and i'm
planted in the incisons made with the
scarifier can take root and grow, form
ing in time long and visible hairs"
BY microscopic examination he has
satisfied himself that after some weeks
a real new bulb forms at the lower
end of the implanted hair. DR.. Hoda-
ra's results are interesting in them
selves, and still more in the promise
which they appear to offer Of further
results, undreamed Of, or at any rate
unmentioned, by the ingenious expert
menter. Why, asks the New York
Herald, should not the same treatment
be applied in cases of ordinary bald
ness? Many bald men would gladly
submit to have their scalps plowed
and afterward sown with new hairs II
there was reasonable hope of even
a moderate harvest.
