Waterson's Colored Baby.

Says our esteemed contemporary the
Washington Star:
Colonel Watterson, of Kentucky,
probably the most eminent Republican
in the Democratic party thus delivers
himself: And these new territorial ac-
quisitions are with us to stay. They
came to us unbidden. They We're sent
to us by that mysterious power to
which we owe all that we are, all that
we have Who Shall say it nay? We
are curious to know if the colonel
would act upon this principle if some
one were to leave a colored baby on his
doorstep some night. 1t would come
unbidden. Would it come to stay?"
That would depend. 1t certainly
would be taken in and cared for. 1t
would not be left to the mercy of the
elements. But suppose II should prove
TO be, upon examination, a princess in
reality-having hung about its neck a
priceless jewel-and not a niger baby
at all-then what? AS far as the Stars
illustration goes this is our position
with regard TO the Philippines. We
would take them in out of the wet. We
would save them from the weather. II
is our opinion that on closer inspection
we shall find them of rare value, and,
therefore, we express the opinion that
in the end we shall keep them, that
they have come to stay. But, if it
should turn out otherwise, there will
be time enough to hunt up an orphan
asylum after we have cleared the way
by mopplng the earth with Aguinaldo
Does not our esteemed contemporary
perceive both the poetry and the logic
Of our position ?-Louisvi.e Courier

A Button Joke.

Several days ago an enthusiastic Re
publican who is fond of a joke now
and then, met friend of his, a certain
Second street business man, whose faith
in Democratic principles and leaders is
beyond question. The Republican had
some Nash buttons with him and
among them was one without any let
tering on it to show whom the picture
represented.
Stopping to chat with his Democrat
lc friend he asked him why he did not
wear a Mclean button, and drawing
tina. particular Nash button from -his
pocket he fastened it to his friends
coat.
For two or three days the Democrat
wore the Mclean" button, which was
duly admired by his Democratic
friends, who did not know the differ
ence and to the great amusement Of
Republicans who knew, but never said
a word.
Finally the mistake was discovered
by a Democrat who had caught a
glimpse of Mclean in his private car
once and who had seen Mash frequent
ly on Uhe streets of Columbus. SO the
story goes. Anyhow, the Democrat
discovered his error and now wears no
campaign button at all.

Hoyt's "a Day and Night. "

Theatre goers and lovers of Hoyt's
original methods viii hail with pleas
ure the announcement that his latest
and most successful comedy work, "a
Day and Night" will be presented in
this city Friday evening. The new
play has no lesson to teach; neither is
it hampered with any great plot. 1t
has, however, enough of plot to serve
as a thread upon which 10 string a lot
of specialtles and catchy music. topical
songs, dainty dances and pretty wom-
en-. The new piece has been construct
ed after "A Stranger in New York, ."
but it is said to he brighter in dialogue
and The situations are even funnier.
"a Day and A Night" Is the most sue
cessful of all his facial sltlts that have
emanaled from the fertile brain of Ghis
popular author. and he has gathered
a remarkably strong cast, headed by
Bert .Thayer and Hattie Williams, who

Antarctic Exploration.

For almost century the North Pole
has claimed the attention of geogra-
piers and daring explorers. The
South Pole has been left out in the
cold, so to speak, though there is no
reason for believing but that the
southern end of the imaginary shaft
on which the earth revolves possesses
just as many points of general interest
as the end that points to the north
AT last the South Pole is TO have some
attention paid to it.
At the late Berlin Congress the geo
graphers present perfected systematic
plans for the exploration of the antarc-
Tic continent. The plans are unique
and comprehensive, and, inasmuch as
two great nations like Germany and
England have undertaken to carry
them out there is reason to believe
they will be successful.
By common consent of those in the
council the southern end of the earth
was divided into two even parts, as
near as may be. England takes one
portion for her field and Germany the
other. Tw expeditions will have
charge of the work, the German expe-
dltion taking Cape Town, South Africa
as its base, while England will loperate
from Melbourne. In the fall of 1901
both will be we'll toward the antarctic
continent.
1t is expected that three years will
be occupied in the south polar quest,
Each expedition will have a ship mod
eled somewhat after the Fran lthe ship
of Nansen, that stood so strongly
against the ice pack during Nansen's
famous expedition. Scientists. trained
observers and capable seamen will
make up the crews, and they will be
provided with all the paraphernalia
needed in the quest. 1t will be strange
If something is not discovered during
the three years they will be in the field
This double attack on the antarctic
continent should meet with a measure
of success, at least. The men engaged
will have the advantage of the expert
ences gained in polar explorations of
recent date If the obstacles they en-
counter are less rugged than those
that have stood between Nansen and
Peary in the North, it may be that
the two expeditions will reach the
South Pole, and that. too, without
experiencing any very great hardships.
If Nansen had had nothing more seri-
Gus to contend with than a land Ice
cap, which is supposed to surround the
South Pole, he could have covered
,..e $50 miles which stood between him
and his hopes, and without much trou-
ble In all probability the South Pole
of this sphere will be the first to be
seen by mortal eyes.-Cin.s Com. Trib.
