A MISTAKE AVOIDED.

Judge GriggE, representative from the
Second Georgia district, was instrumental
in preventing the Democratic congress-
men from making a serious mistake at
a caucus held a few nights ago. One of
the members of the caucus proposed that
a committee be appointed to draw up a
statement showing the position Of the
Democratic party in respect TO the Phil
ippines. Judge Griggs took the position,
and very wisely that 1t was the preroga-
tive Of the Democratic National Conven-
ton TO say what the position of the
party is on questions which are before the
people. He said further, that just at this
time the entire country was looking with
Amusement at the spectacle presented by
the Republicans in Congress fighting
among themselves over questions growing
out of the effort to adjust Porto Rico's
relations to this country. If the Demo-
Gratis in Congress should undertake to de-
fine the position of their party on the
question as to what should be done with
the Philippines, they might not be able to
present to the country an unbroken front.
1t might in'fact appear that they were
respecting the proper legislation for the
Philippines as the Republicans are in re-
spect to Porto Rico. The consequence
would be that the attention of the coun-
try would be diverted from the Republi-
cans and turned to the Democrats, and
che Democratic party would lose what
ever benefit there is arising from the
differences there are among the Repub-
icans.
The wisdom of Judge Griggs' sugges-
ton was recognized by the caucus, and
the effort to define the position of the
Democratic party in respect to our in
sular possessions was abandoned. AS a
matter of fact the Democrats are by no
means a unit in favor OF giving the Fill
pinos their independence under an Ameri-
can protectorate. In the South there is
a pretty strong sentiment in favor of
holding the islands as a permanent pos
session. 1t has not been so very long
since there was a meeting of Southern
manufac tures TO take a stand in respect
to this matter The meeting adopted
resolutions in favor of retaining the Phil
ippines. There is a pretty strong belief in
the South that the interests of this coun-
try require the retention of the Philip
pines. The South is becoming a great
cotton manufacturing section. and the
Philippines will be market for cotton
goods. That is one reason why Southern
manufacturers are inclined to favor the
retention of the islands. If the caucus of
Democratic congressman had undertaken
to fix the policy of the Democratic party
in respect to the Philippines it might
have discovered that there was not en-
tire harmony among Democrats in regard
To that rnattar

A MOnan's Wit. .

General Hazen, the first head of the
weather bureau in Washington, found it
almost impossible to persuade the members
of congress to vote for him the necessary
funds with which to carry out his plans,
says the New England Magazine. One
spring, when the appropriation had been
shamefully cut down by the economy low
ing chairman of the committee, Mrs. Ha-
zen was the guest at an after-dinner re-
ception at the house of one of the cabinet
members, where the most detestable and
uncomfortable weather, untimely and un-
looked for, was the topic of the moment.
AS Mrs. Hazen crossed the room to make
her adeus she was waylaid by the chair
man of the offending committee, who ac-
costed thus "Well Mrs. HAGEN, is this
the best your husband can do for us in
the way of weather." Mrs. Hazen looked
at him with a sudden flash in her eyes,
then answered, clearly and sweetly: Yes,
Mr.. Blank, the very best-for the appro-
priat The discounted man fled, In
the midst of the hardly concealed smiles
of the surrounding guests.

Some months ago. 1t viii be remem-
bered. there was an announcement in
the newspapers of New York city that
DR.. Doty, the health officer of that port
had discovered a curative serum for yell
low fever, or rather that DR.. Doty had
adapted the serum Of Sanareui. At the
time we expressed skepticism respecting
the new treatment 1t appears now that
cur doubts were well founded. In a re-
cent issue of the Medical. Record there
appeared a statement respecting the Sc
rum from which it seems that even DR..
poty himself and his assistants have
lost faith in it. DR.. Charles B. Fitzpat-
rick, representing DR.. Doty, made
use of the serum in dozen
cases at the New York quarantine, in
which the alleged remedy apparently
exerted no controlling influence upon the
disease" Last year eleven cases of vel
low fever in New Orleans were treated
with the Sanarelli serum but no cura-
tive effect from it" was noted. The
Medical Record says further that Prof
Lutz of Santos has carefully investi-
gated the serum, but has failed to OBJ
serve any curative effect from it. Thus
the serum experts are just about the
point from which they started and vel
fever is almost as much a mystery as
ever.

1t appears that in the official records
the showing is made that the Spanish aux
ifary cruiser Panama was captured ''bv
the New York and the Mangrove" This
is an injustice to the little lighthouse ten
der and gives undue credit 10 the flagship
Of Admiral Sampson. The capture of the
Panama is well remembered as one of the
most humorous incidents of the war. The

Up to the first week in April the British

Virginia has taken a backward step in
legallzing boxing" Nominally the new
law is intended to encourage and promote
scientific exhibitions of the manly art
of self-defense," But that is precisely
what was proposed by the Horton law of
New York, under which number of bru-
tai prize fights were held before the law
was repealed. Virginia will probably
speedily find that the prize fight rs, chased
out of New York. will flock to her shores,
to her disgrace.

\ Chicago woman who has been a
teacher for twenty years gave the other
day nine reasons why she had remained
a spnster, as follows:
Because he might not be an orphan.
He might like tides
He might be fond of using pet names
He might part his hair in the middle.
He might demand an itemized account
of household expenditures.
Dinner would have to be taken with
the same person each day.
Marriage would necessitate daily letter
writing when either he or she might be
away.
All the good men seemed TO be mar
ried already.
He has not proposed.
There are probably certain cynical per-
sons who will say that the ninth and last
reason given was the great and govern
ing one of the bunch, and that if he had
proposed, the eight preceding reasons
would have been brushed aside

That pro-Boer meeting in Philadelphia
the other night, from which a messenger
boy was started for Pretoria with a mes
sage of greeting signed by 1900 school
children was dramatically spectacular as
its promoters could have wished. Mean
while, probably all that will be accom-
plished by it is that little Jimmy Smith
the messenger, will get free excursion
TO South Africa and probably see some
of the fighting. 1t is a great snap for
Jimmy.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun Dem), discussing
the purposes of the new Philippine Com
mission, says: "Only the reign of the car
pet-bagger is to be inaugurated in the
Philippines without asking the leave or
approval of Congress. The civil commits
sion which is to set up all these govern
ments is appointed without any authority
from Congress. Its members are not sub
ject to approval by the Senate. No act or
resolution Of Congress Is required to un-
lock the vaults of the treasury and draw
out the Millions of dollars which the Pres
ident is ready to expend in extending the
blessings of civil government, according to
his ideas, over the Philippines. Would it
not be well, before we plunge too deeply
into the carpet-bag' business, for Con-
gress to pause and look little further
into the matter? If they do not, the peo-
pie assuredly will"
The Philadelphia Press (Rep) says:
THE federal judge in New York city who
released the contractors indicted by fed
eral grand jury for the Carter frauds
must be presumed to have decided rightly
until he is reversed; but his decision runs
counter TO almost unbroken precedent and
will render the process of federal courts
ridiculous. The department of justice can
not permit the decision to be accepted I'M
til every recourse has been exhausted to
secure the trial of these indicted men in
Georgia. The country has for three years
watched the manifold delays in this case.
1t asks for no more than justice; but less
than justice it will not accept, and the es-
cape from trial of wealthy contractors
on a decision contrary to past precedent
is not TO be thought of, if any lawful way
exists of preventing this public scandal.
The Nashville American (Dem) says:
The non-partisan decision by the Ken
lucky Court of Appeals should bring peace
to the state. The court decides that the
law is against former Gov. Taylor, and
that under the constitution and the con-
sutution construction of the law the act
ion of the Legislature cannot be inquired
INTO by the courts. The court could not
go into the merits of the case. The judges
were called upon to pass only upon the
legality of the action of the Legislature
This the court has done and the finding
must stand. If the majority in Kentucky
believes that the Legislature acted improp-
erly, the ballot box Is the only remedy.
Taylor should yield and appeal his case
to the people next November"
The Columbia. Is. c. State Dem.) says:
1--WE are afraid there is a Horace Greeley
heart-break for Dewey in this enterprise
1t is hardly surprising that a man who
has received such adulation as he should
be prone to imagine that the people want
him for President; but the men who,
knowing better, have fostered this delu-
son for their own ignoble purposes, who
propose to use him to defeat Bryan and
then cast him aside, have a heavy respon-
sibility"

NAV Die From Injuries.

Mrs. John Junge is lying at her
home near the Kimball farm, a few
miles down the river, near unto death
as the result of the terrible injuries
received by her few evenings ago,
as she was driving home from the
city. When in the neigh borhood of
the Pariser garden, one of her horses
became unmanageable and broke loose
from the buggy. Mrs. Junge was
thrown out, but became entangied in
the reins and was dragged more than a
mile from the spot before she was re-
leased, and left PROSTATE in the road.
When found she was unconscious,
had a broken arm and her whole body
was covered with bruises.-Davenport

MINISTER'S FOOD.
Its Value Discovered During Absence of

Its Value Discovered During Absence OF
Family.
Rev. j. b Ley, pastor of the First
M. E. church, South Tampa, Fla, had
an interesting experience when his
family were compelled to leave on &C
count of the yellow fever. He says:
Last Septem Der. when we were Wis
tied by yellow fever scare, my fam
lily left for an indefinite stay in the

some excellent physicians. but their
remedial agencies failed to reach the
case-at best a ffording only tempo

lat the time the family left, my at
tention was called to Grape-Nuts food.
Several things had led me to believe
that my troubles were largely due to
improper nutrition. The absence of
the family gave me good opportun
ity to try the new food. for it is per-
fectly cooked and therefore required
no work on my part.

day, supper and breakfast. on Grape

nothing else. confined myself to the
proper allowance, not overeating.

most from the first-my digestion was
better, sleep became regular and rest
full, and l began to gain flesh. could
soon do work with less fatigue and
mora satisfaction
My nervous system has been Won
derfully improved, and today weigh
more than / have ever weighed, and
find my strength equal to all the re-
responsibility. This is not all; on the
return of the family Grape-Nuts be-
came regular article of food at the
hour. The children ate it
and improved.
MY wife, who was nursing IN in
FAINT. discovered that after she began
using Grape-Nuts regularly, for the
first time in many years, natures

quate, without resorting to artificial
