A VARIETY OF TASTES.
The cats, rabbits guinea pigs, pig
cons, turtles, frogs and other animals
are fed and raised in a building pro-
vided for them by the medical colleges.
The animals are separated first by par
titions, into rooms and then kept two
and three or sometimes more in cage.
The pigeons are kept in coops. Goats,
sheep, monkeys and snakes are obtain
ed from the dealers when required at
the regulation prices. Chickens are
sometimes kept, but rats and mice are
always plentiful.
Animals are fed according to their
native tastes. The rabbits and guinea
pigs are given potato-peelings, cab
bage leaves, radish-leaves and green's.
The pigeons and chickens feed on grain
and worms. Cats eat soup, meats and
table residue. The turtles and frogs de-
your insects and, apparently little else
while the goats, seemingly, digest any
thing.

THE OREGON ACCIDENT.

When it was announced that the battle
ship Oregon had run upon rock off the
coast of China there was at once a ques-
ton in the public mind as TO whether or
not the accident was due to incompetency
or carelessness. There have been some
dispatches sent out from Washington in
which naval officers were quoted as say
ing that the principal officers, outside of
the captain, were not qualified for their
respective positions. In one of the state
ments it was asserted that the officer
next in rank to the captain had been
twice court-martialed for drunkenness,
and that several of the other officers
were without experience.
Now that il is reasonably certain that
the Oregon will be saved there ought to
be the most rigid inquiry as to whether
the charges made in these dispatches are
well founded. The Oregon is one of the
very best battleships in the navy, and
one of the most costly. There is, be-
to her on account of her phenomenal run
from the Pacific coast to Cuba and the
part she took in the naval battle of San
tiago. The people want to know whether
or not the navy department is to blame
to any extent for the Oregon's mishap.
The department is to blame if the ship
went to sea in charge of incompetent
officers. The department knows the
qualifications and the habits of each one
of the officers of the navy. and ii would
find it difficult to excuse itself for send
ing so valuable a vessel as the Oregon
on hazardous expedition in charge of
incompetent officers.
1t would be unjust of course to assume
that the department did anything of the
kind. The presumption is the other way.
Still in view of the fact that charges
have been published, coming apparently
from source worthy of attention, that
some of the principal officers of the Ore
gon were not qualified for their positions.
there ought to be an investigation not
only of the cause of the accident, but also
as to whether the department was care
less or displayed lack of judgement in
selecting the officers.

CONTROLLED by BRYAN.

1t is clear that Mr. Bryan will DONNA te
the convention There is no leader at
Kansas City. The delegates are constant
ly looking towards Lincoln. From pres
ent indications the convention will do just
what Mr.. Bryan wants done.
Il seems to be the judgment of many
of the delegates, particularly those from
the Eastern states, that there should be
no district declaration liz the platform Of
the 16 to l idea.-that the silver question
should receive no further attention than
reaffirmatioD of the Chicago platform.
The reports from Kansas City Indicate
that Mr.. Bryan insists that silver shah
be brought prominently to the front in
the platform. And he is in a position to
have his way in the matter. More than
two-thirds of the delegates are instructed
for him. The convention could not there
fore very well avoid nominating him
even If it were disposed to do so. As
matter of fact however, it wants to nomi-
nate him. but it is not yet clear that a
majority agrees with him a to what the
platform should contain.
ence whether there is new declaration
in respect to silver or a simple reaffirma-
ton of the Chicago platform. That plat
form makes silver the paramount issue.
II It is reaffirmed silver will be as promi
nent an issue as if there were new dec
iaration in respect to it.
And after all it may he that the view
lob - 49,
right one. If no special mention were
made Of silver in the platform, the Repub-
leans would make that fact an excuse for
saying that the Democrats had practically
abandoned the free coinage of silver,
thereby admitting that they were wrong
In 1896.
As long as silver is going to be in the
platform, 1t is better probably that it
should be there in a way that would leave
no room for the Republicans to say that
the Democrats had sidetracked il as a po-
hticaI issue.
By giving silver prominence in the plat
form il is probable that the Democratic
ticket would lose some Democratic votes,
but the number would be small in com
parison with what it would lose If It should
deal with the silver question in a way
that would create the impression that the
Democratic party had retreated from the
position 1t occupied on the silver ques-
ton four years ago.
If silver is given prominence in the plat
form it will not be advisable to nominate
for Vice President any man not known to
be in complete sympathy with the 16 to
idea. Mr.. Towne or Mr.. Sulzer, and not
Mr.. Hill or Mr.. German, would be the
logical candidate.
