Faith Cure for an Elephant.

Old Tom, the bad elephant in Central
Park, was blinking his evil eyes az the
crowd around him yesterday, when two
women halted in front of him. says the
New York Press. He was flirting a
wisp of hay around with the thumb of
his trunk, but he dropped il when he
heard the women talk. One OF these
women was young, pretty and bubbling-
ly enthusiastic. The other was older and
severely cold of manner.
oh, wouldn't IL be just lovely to cure
him?" gurgled the young woman.
Not lovely" said her elder. THAT is
frivolous phrase. But we can cure
him, undoubtedly. Mrs. Eddy, in her i'm
mortal work, has shown how easy it Is
to convince even a man that he ism |
sick, although he feels sick. I will show
that animal that his illness is purely a
Pigment of his imagination"
The elephant was reaching out for a
palsied pink in her hat. She tapped him
sharply on the trunk with her parasol
and said:
You are not i'll! Do you understand
me? Youarenodll youarenotill, youare-
notill,"
Somehow that mystic incarnation did
not have the presupposed effect upon bad
Old Tom. He made a swoop with his
trunk, and thirty seconds later keeper
was saying:
We'll, lady, he always was fond of
eating hats, anyway. He'd rather swal-
low a bonnet than a bale of hay. l told
you to keep away, didn't {? Well, there
you are" and he pointed behind the bars,
where Old Tom, with the evil in his eyes
now blaring red, was stamping on the
fragments of the elderly females millin-
cry.
Il can cure him-I shall cure him.
said the one of the ravished hat.

She shifted scornfully.

"Hey?'
Did you ever try to pass a wave of

REPUBLroANs CLAIM TOO MUCH.

The Philadelphia Inquirer, in comment
ing on a recent statement that the South
ern states would all give their electoral
votes to Mr.. Bryan, declared that it could
not understand why It was that the South
remained solidly Democratic in view of the
fact the policies of the Republican party
were doing so much for the advancement
of Southern prosperity. In the course CT
its article 1t said:
Georgia and South Carolina are run
ming great many cotton mills. Where
would these mills be today but for the
Mckinley administration and the Repuoli-
can policies? Old King Cotton was Jolly
old soul once on a time, but he was de-
throned under the Cleveland admins 'ra-
tion. England has always wanted our cot
ton, but the price of it has. been made in
Liverpool, and the planters of our Soul h.
ern states have been powerless. but now
mills are rising beside the cotton fields, tn =
planters send their raw product to the
mills, and the mills manufacture and send
abroad. King Cotton is coming INFO power
again.
1t is not our understanding that
the Republican party has aided in
building up the cotton manufacturing in
dustry in the South. The tariff that was
enacted during Mr.. Clevelands adminIstr ira
ton did not obstruct the building of cot
ton factories in the South. The cotton
schedule in that tariff was framed by the
cotton manufacturers of New England,
and it is certain that they would have pro-
tested against a schedule injurious to cot
ton manufacturing in this country.
AS a matter of fact the building of cct-
ton mills in the South began in earnest
just as soon as it was clearly demonstrated
that cotton goods could be manufactured
more cheaply in the South than in the
North. and when the South began TO have
some surplus capital. During the panic of
1898 and the hard times that followed the
mills in the South made money while ttose
of New England had a very hard time TO
make expenses. That fact turned the at
tention of cotton manufacturers at the
North to the South. Within the last two
or three years the South has had consider
able surplus money. and it has been put
ting IL in cotton factories. 1t is difficult
to see wherein the Republican party has
contributed anything towards the develop
ment of the manufacturing interests of
the South.

1t has remained for the revival Of slavery
as a solution of the race problem TO be adj
vocated from q New York pulpit The Rev.
Henry Frank. in the course of recent
sermon on the Problems of the Soul"
delivered in Carnegie Lyceum, declared
that the negro should again be reduced 10
slavery, both for his own good and the
good Of the country. The best thing that
ever happened to the negro in the opinion
of Mr.. Frank was when he became a
slave in America. His plan for re-estab-
hshing slavery Is unique, He says: "A
section Of the country should be set apart
TO which all negroes would be permitted
to voluntarily migrate, and there yield
themselves as slaves to such persons as
would agree to possess them, giving them
humane treatment and education. If such
an Invitation were to-day extended 10 the
negroes of the South, 1 venture to say
hundreds of them would gratefully ac-
cept." 1t is very evident that Mr.. Frank
does not understand his subject. Not only

have been made for the ceremony, which,
1t is predicted, will be a more gorgeous

GUARDING AGAINST THE PLAUGzs.

The Board CT Health Of New York APP
psars to be somewhat alarmed by the re-
port that there have been half a dozen
cases or more of bubonic plague in San
Francisco. In a quite lengthy interview,
published On Monday. Michael c. Murphy,
the president of the board. SAID that every
precaution was being taken TO prevent il
from finding a Judgement in that city. He
had no fear, he said. that it would get
into the city by way of the sea, but it
might be brought in over the railways. He
thought the danger far greater from the
railways than from the ships, because it
was possible to watch the ships closely
while it was not possible to keep track of
people arriving on the railways.
Evidently, as far as the bubonic plague
is concerned, Mr.. Murphy thinks that san
Francisco is the real danger point to this
country 1t has close steamship connec-
tions with the ports of the Orient, and
also with Hawaii where there has been
quite number of cases Of the disease. 1t
is not known of course VIII n, nor on what
ship, the plague reached San Francisco,
but there is no doub. OF it's presence.
fort TO prevent it from spreading.
It is a difficult matter to quarantine
against a disease. because there
are so many interested in break
ing the quarantine regulations There
are persons, who, for the sake of making
or saving a few dollars will run the risk
of introducing a disease CT the most in
fictitious or contagious character into a
community.
1t seems, according to what Mr.. Murphy
says, that the coffee cargo from Santos
a place infected with the plague, that
ached New York on the ship Taylor last
fall, was sent to Chicago and was con-
sumed there. Permission to land the car
go in New York was denied the owners
of the coffee unless certain conditions
were complied with. The owners refused
to comply with these conditions. The
cargo was then surreptitiously shipped TO
Chicago. The owners of the coffee doubt
less knew that there was danger in it,
but that fact did not hinder them from
scattering it all over Chicago.
Authority ought to be lodged somewhere
to prevent the sending of infected cargoes
TO interior places. AS a general thing the
ports can take care of themselves in the
matter of infectious and contagious dis
eases. They are always on the lookout
for them. The interior cities depend on
the ports for protection from diseases
which come from other lands-diseases
Ike the bubonic plague. yellow fever and
cholera. The Tayor's cargo of coffee that
was not permitted to be landed in New
York should not have been permitted to be
sent to Chicago. 1t was landed at Hoboken
and put on the cars there. Had the plague
broken cut in Chicago it would of course
have been brought back to New York.
Thus it appears that the quarantine at
New York. of which so much is said in
praise, is not so much OF a protection to
the country or even TO that city as 1t is
generally thought IN he

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York Journal Dem) says:
THE American army ought not to lose
the name of Fighting Joe Wheeler. He
is just where he belongs. 1t ought 10 be
the pleasure as il is certainly the duty
of the government to put him in the reg
ular service and allow him to pass the
rest of his life in the well-earned peace
of the retired list"
The Nashville American (Dem) says:
Spain relinquished sovereignty over
Cuba. the United States has not assumed
sovereignty, and Cuba has not organized
a sovereign government. This is the sit
uation, and Neely's lawyers propose TO
take full advantage of it, Proof is ac-
cumulating that he looted the pcs al
funds. but is there any kind of a govern
ment in Cuba authorized TO bring him TO
trial?'
The Philadelphia Record Dem.) says
"And now Ambassador White sends word
from Berlin that nothing would induce
him TO accept the Republican nomination
for the vice presidency. The shyness
among politicians of the first class when
they are asked to ride behind Mckinley
this year is something remarkable. In
fact only one gentleman seems 10 yearn
for the place. and he has neither capa-
binty nor the cash THAI is deemed pre-
requisite"
The Baltimore Sun (Dem) says: "If
Cuba had been given independence and
allowed to govern herself the American
people would have escaped the shame and
disgrace which have been brought upon
them by greedy and INSCRIPTIONS poll
ticians. This government should return
to the Cubans the money stolen by dis
honest officials sent 10 the island from the
United States. The next step should be
to withdraw our soldiers and allow the
Cubans TO govern Cubo without the as
