Coins of quaint and obsolete design and
almost forgotten coinage have begun to
circulate in some of the worst famine

who in turn deposit their savings in the
same hidirg place. When a Hindoo dies
suddenly, his pot is diligently searched
for by his relatives, but the search is oft
en- fruitless. After the Mahomme dan En-
pre began to wane, each petty chief and
Rajahette coined his own rupee. and put
his individual variation on value and
weight. Some of these designs are very
curious, though most of them bear II
addition to the eccentric fancy of the
native who struck them, the name and
! titles of the reigning emperor.

A REMEDY FOR MOSQUITOES.
News and Courier

For several months past experiments
have been conducted at Sassari, in
Sardinia. by DR.. Fermi. DR.. Cossul-
Rocca and DR.. Lumbar. for the pur-
pose of Kidding that town OF the pests
of mosquitoes with which it is over
run. The doctors Cffectually destroyed
the larvae by distributing large guam
titles OF petroleum in the swamps and
other spots where the insects breed. and
the mosquitoes were cXterminatcd by
chlorine and other powerful destruc-
tive -chemicals.-The doctors in their
report consider it possible to free any
town infested with mosquitoes by this
means. provided ii Is not too unfavor-
ably situated. 1t is an economical
remedy, costing only about $3.50 a year
for a town possessing population
of about $4,000 inhabitants.

WHAT is TOM REED THINKING

A unique character is Hon. Thomas
b. Reed. Out of politics absolutely, he
is yet not of those has beens whom a
swift and dreary oblivion swept from
the public eye. Apparently IL the pub
lie wishes to forget Thomas b. Reed
he does not care a "cuss." for he is
more than half philosopher. and
might very we'll roll around in a tub
IL he could find one big enough But
the public does not forget Thomas; on
the contrary. 1t runs after him and in
sists on keeping up the acquaintance.
For, look you, Thomas B. Reed is the
one American who can say things, but
is not at all anxious to do 1t, and
wouldn't do 1t II left alone. Maybe that
is the reason the public runs after him
for all that he is "out of it." An inter-
view with Hon. Thomas b. Reed on
the Philadelphia platform and ticket
newspapers tomorrow and would get
read. not merely the headlines, but all
of it. And it is asserted that quietly
Hon. Thomas is saying things about
the platform and ticket, and that in
variably the other party to the con-
versation smokers with more or less
abandon. Thomas is not a nice man
for such a platform and ticket to run
up against. The staggering Teddy,
the oily Mckinley. the tumble of hy-
pocritical cant-these are fair marks
for Reed, who. whatever his faults. is
neither hypocrite nor weakling. For
some years he looked on public men
and platforms from the scanny side,
and the whole Philadelphia business
must be pretty transparent to him. 1t
would be worth n good deal to be able
to see that performance with the eyes
of Tom Reed. What would Reed say
about Teddy and his Rough Rider hat
and their convention role? What OF
Hon. Marcus HanniS and his famous
pampas plume act? What of that lit
tie trick of Matt Quay's in putting the
screws on the Southern delegates and
bringing them over. TO Teddy despite
Hanna? Upon any or all of these
points Thomas b. Reed can command
an audience co-eXtensive with the
reading public of America.

SENATOR FORAKER'S PREDICA
MENT
(YVashington Timcs.)

Republican party leaders are still
vocal with the pain and modification
they feel over the Porto Rican infamy
plank which was "driveled out by Il
drivclcr from New York" according to
the pitcous wall of Representative
Grosvcnor. Senator Foraker, whose
political fortunes ere directly in dan
ger OF loss or damage by reason of
the error OF omission. is particularly
sad. and has felt it necessary to weep
n tear on the subject on the sympa-
thetic bosom OF the New York Trib-
une."
The Senator declares that at the
two. out of four. meetings OF the sub
committee of the Committee on Rcso-
lutions at Philadelphia. which he at
tended there was absolute acquies-
cence in, IL not a formal acceptance of,
the plank embarrassing his and the
Administrations violation OF our
plain duty to Porto Rico" and OF the
Constitution Of the United States.

But the Commissioner of Nayiga
ton. Mr. Eugene II. Chamberlain.
leaves nothing to be desired by tile
public In the way of information either
as to the character of this measure
or ms to the purpose of the Republican
leaders IN regard to 1t. In an article
IN the Forum for July the Commits
sioner presents with much vigor the
usual pleos for subsidy, and in doing
SO communicates a fact or two not
hitherto known. While the bill was
before the Senate and House commit
tees It's newspaper champions asserted
ttiat 1t provided for an expenditure of
Ss0.0OO.OGO in period of ten years
This was regarded as very consider
able spoil by such of the people as
have no interest in the matter except
as taxpayers. Commissioner Chaber-
lain says. however, that the bill in its
present form provides for a grand
total of expenditure amounting to
s25O. 1000, running through a period
OF thirty years. 1t is not strange that
should have stood aghast when
brought to face Il proposition indors-
ing this vast donation of public
money. Yet this is what the people of
the United States are asked to ap-
prove in the next eection for President
and members Of Congress.

NOTES AND OPINIONS.
NO JAMESON RAIDS FOR US.
philadelphia Times0

The rushing of soldiers and war
ships into the territory and waters OF
a nation with whom we are presuma-
bly, at peace is the strange spectacle
which is being enacted before the eyes
of the Aemercar people at the persent
time. With our Consular representa-
tiveS supposedly at their various post s
of duty and with the official emissa-
ries of China within our borders and
enjoying all the privileges of our Off
cial hospitality. we are virtually en-
gagged in bloody warfare with that
country. Surely, 1t is strange display
of the possibilities OF EXECUTIVE power
to which we are unaccustomed. and
from which we have supposedly been
guarded by the Constitution.
Those skilled in the limitations of
constitutional law do not hesitate to
declare that such contingencies as
now confront us are amply provided
for. and IL this is the case then our
present position is a false one, and is
a gross violation of the rights of the
people by the Executive at Washing
ton. 1t Is not sufficient excuse for the
existing condition of affairs that there
is unlimited confidence on the part OF
the country in the discretion and fore
sight of our Exccptive. who claims to
be actuated solely by motives of pro-
the danger lies in the fact of the es-
Enlistment of a precedent which
might afford abundant opportunity
for the fermentation OF wars by those
who may succeed in the future to cX
ecutive control of our government and
who may be inclined to wage war for
less holy and exalted purposes.
We want no Jameson raids. Neither
can we afford to he associated with
other Powers whose ultimate objects
arc so thinly yelled as arc the purposes
of England. Germany, Russia and
France in the invasion of Chinese ter
ritory. Republicanism can gain moth
ing and must lose much from such
munarchical associations. In the
meantime it Is we'll for us to inquire
if the spirit OF accession of territory
by force OF arms. which has attended
the present administration. has not
engendered spirit of war which
should be promptly checked.

BRYAN AND THE PHILIPPINE,
TR Realty
Savannah Ncws.)

savannah NcWS.)
The treaty by which the Philippines
were acquired differs in n very i'm
portant particular from previous trea-
ties by which the United States came
into possession of territory. In pre-
Vious treaties it was stipulated that
the inhabitants of the acquired terri
tory should ultimately become citizens.
In the treaty by which the Philippines
were acquired it is left to Congress to
say what the political rights and civil
status of the inhabitants OF the coded
is and shall be. 1t is claimed that the
effect of this provision of the treaty
is to give the late Spanish possessions
distinct existence under. but with
out the United States ~ point is
made against Mr.. Bryan that he urged
the ratification OF the treaty, and now
takes the position that the Filpinos
ought TO have their independence.
There is nothing inconsistent i'm Mr.
Bryan's position. lie knew of course
what the provisions of the treaty were
when he advised its ratification. but
at no time did lie favor holding the
Islands as colonies. He believes the
Filipinos should be dealt with just as
it is proposed that the Cubans shall
be dealt with. He belives that they
should have their independence when
they are ready for self government.
and he is inclined to think that they
are now able to manage their own
public affairs.
