In a Republic.

A republic is a country where peo-
pie discuss things. a despotism is a
country where they cannot. An idiot
asylum is a place where they don't
even care to.
The pagan Burmese tuck a paper
on a revolving wheel and leave it to
do their praying. This is wonderful
ly like some Americans who fix an
administration prayer wheel. pin
their minds on it and go off about
their business, quite assured that it
would be blasphemous to wonder why
God gave every man conscience if its
work could just as well be done by
the machine.
Arepublic no longer jealous of it's
rights is apt to lose them.

A SERENADE OF WOLVES.
How One Was Started In the Ma
tionsal Zoo Mt Washington.

In The Century Ernest Seton-Thomp
son, who used to be known as Wolf
Thompson from his familiarity with
this particular form of wild animal,
tells how he started a wolf serenade at
the National ZOO in Washington.
While making these notes among the
animals of the Washington zoo 1 used
to go at all hours to see them. Late
one evening L sat down with some
friends by the wolf cages in the light
of a full moon. 1 said, Let us see
whether they have forgotten the music
of the west" L put up my hands to
my mouth and howled the hunting
song of the pack. The first to respond
was a coyote from the plains. He re-
membered the wild music that used TO
mean pickings for him. He put up his
muzzle and zap yapped" and howled.
Next an old wolf from Colorado came
running out, looked and listened ear
nestly, and, raising her snout to the
proper angle, she took up the wild
strain. Then all the others came run
ming out and Joined in, each according
to his voice, but all singing that wild
wolf hunting song, bowling and yell
ing. rolling and swelling, high and low,
in the cadence of the hills.
They sang their song of the west, the west;
They set all my feelings aglow;
They stirred up my heart with their artless art
And their song OF the long ago.
Again and again they raised the cry
and sang in chorus till the whole moon
lit wood around was ringing with the
grim refrain-until the inhabitants in
the near city must have thought all
the beasts broken loose. But at length
their clamor died away, and the wolves
returned, skunk back to their dens, ST.
lently, sadly, 1 thought, as though they
realized that they could indeed join in
the hunting song as of old. but their
hunting days We're forever done.

The Chicago Times Herald of this
morning takes it upon itself to adj
dress an editorial open letter to
Hon. Ben T. Cable, of this city,
and A. S. Trude. of Chicago. dele
gates-at-large to the national demo-
cratic convention. The address to
which the Times-Herald devotes itself
bears on the political attitude of
Messrs Cable and Trude four years
ago, and seeks information as to what
they are likely to do after the Kansas
City convention if it declares for the
same principles as were enunciated
At Chicago in 1896. And mind
YOU. the Times-Herald seeks the in
formation it does in the name of
democrats. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that Messrs. Cable and Trude will
give Editor kohlsaat the advertising
he is bidding for by replying at
length to his queries-when they get
good and ready. The distress that
the return of such men as Cable and
Trude to the old and time-honored
fold is occasioning among the repub-
licans is almost pathetic. And for
the information of the same seek
er after light the fact may be
presented that it has never been very
difficult to find either MIR. Cable or
Mr.. Trude on any political proposition.

THEY CURE-.-N0 PAY.
The British Doctors at No. 1908 Second
Avenue are Curing All Cases They
Treat Absolutely Free. They Ao-
oept No Pay Whatever. Not
Even When Cures are


Even When Cures are
Effected.
A staff of eminent physicians and
surgeons from the British Medical in
stitute have, at the urgent solicitation
of a large number of patients under
their treatment in this vicinity, estab-
lished permanent branch of the in
stitute in this city at No. 1902 Second
avenue.
These eminent gentlemen have de-
cided to give their services entirely
free for three months (medicine ex-
cepted) to all invalids who may call
upon them for treatment between now
and July 10. These services consist
not only of consultation, examination
and advice, but also of all minor sur
gical operations.
The object in pursuing this course
is to become rapidly and personally
acquainted with the sick and the at
flicted, and, under no condition what
ever will any charges be made for any
services rendered for three months to
all who call before July 10.
The doctors treat all forms of dis
ease and deformities, and guarantee a
cure in every case they undertake. AT
the first interview a thorough exami-
nation is made, and, if incurablo, YOU
are frankly and kindly told so; also
advised against spending your money
for useless treatment
Male and female weakness, catarrh
and catarrhal deafness, also rupture,
goitre, cancer, varicocele, and all dis
eases of the rectum, are positively
cured by their new treatment.
