TPIE" HUNTERS,

It is really amusing to compare the Of
fice-hunting fraternity-that is swooping
down upon St. Paul now with that of
two years ago. In 1898 the Democrats
had been out of office so long that very
few of them knew a good thing when
they saw it. But the heated magma
ton of the Republican press at once null
tiplied every applicant into a whole horde
of hungry pie hunters that camped in
Gov, Lind's front yard at New U1m and
yelled for Doodle, so that the Sioux out
break in the sixties, when the Indians
rushed in from all sides, bowling and
yelling for the blood of the white man
and the scalp of thespale face, was real
~ a very tame affair in comparison.
And with their diseased Imagination
those Republican papers got so worked
up about it that they couldn't sleep
'o'nights"
But it's fun to watch them coming in
now. It is tie same old gang of pap
suckers that was in until two years ago.
It's been a hungry two years for them,
and they do feel SO relieved. Down at
the capitol they hang around the cor
ridors and invade the offices in gangs,
as if they had full possession already
They go about with as lordly strut as
if they owned the earth and. were just
having a barb wire fence built around it,
1t is the same old crowd and they are
all supplied with solid slugs of assurance
that they will get theireolds places back
again. They simply won't have it any
other way. Occasionally there is new
face among them. These are more modest
and admit that they will abide, by the.
governors decisions Of course, they all
have long petitions to support their
claims, and it is amusing to see the
same names appear on the petitions Of
several applicants for the same position
But they all do hate to wait Every
day is a torture to them. Not satisfied
with the offices of those who go out at
the end of the year. they are trying to
devise all sorts of underground schemes
for getting rid of Gen. Pope and a few
others whose term of office holds over for
another year. They are all animated by
the same impulse, and they are all satu-
rated with the good old Republican doc
trine that "a public Office is private

A DANGEROUS FAD.

1t all happened In Omaha. Miss Brod-
erick was young. lady, refined cultured,
and stood high in church and social cir
Giles. She had winsome face, a beautf-
ful voice, a more than local reputa ton
as choir singer. and she always showed
great deal more intereet In the earnest
laudable work of the church than in the
gay yanities of society.
But one evening at a parlor party she
permitted herself to be hypnotized by
an itinerant hypnotist. and that was the
cause of 1t. AS soon as she came under
his influence she flew into a rage and at
the hypnotist and would have gouged his
eyes out if friends had not interfered
he undid his spell just as quickly as he
knew how, but he failed to undo all of it,
Tor ever since her mind has been queer,
and finally it was found necessary to take
her to an insane asylum. Her father had
the itinerant hypnotist arrested but it
was not found possible to make out a
case against him.
= The hypnotist in this instance may
have been to blame and he may not, but
1t reminds one very strongly that hypno-
tism is too great force and still too lit
tie understood to make it a safe play
thing for anybody and everybody. The
amateur can cause no end of harm by
it through his bungling and ignorance,
and the professional rogue employs it for
all sorts-of villainy
If people allow themselves to be hypno-
tized by Tom, Dick and Harry, they will
have to bear the consequences, no matter
how disastrous they may turn out. But
when hypnotic quack, by his expert
ments, causes any person mental, moral
or physical harm, be it either through
bungling ignorance or with evil inten-
tons. the law should take charge of
him and deal with him, so that he will
never care to try it again.

+ Mr.. Bryan concludes:
1.-THE whole plan rests upon the theory
that q government can be imposed by an
outside power, and the subject must obey
all rules, orders or DEGREES emanating
from the foreign sovereign, or disobey at
his peril: There is no difference in sub
stance between the presidents plan for
or Queen Vfctoria's plan for the govern
nfent of India and the aTransvaal.
We are to have a. republic in name,
but an empire in fact; we are to Clothe
a president with the prerogative of a
king
Mr.. Bryan has said the same thing be-
fore. Thus far he has not succeeded in
making himself generally believed. If
he had, the landslide would have turned
the other way. The result of the cleo
ton does not mean that the people have
Endorsed imperialism. 1t simply means
that the Republican party has been given
four years in which to secure for the
Philippines law, peace and the same
share of liberty which is the birthright
of every American citizen. For the pres
ent the people will be satisfied with
transition measures, but four years
hence they will demand results.

AN IMpoRTANT OMISSION.

In that part Of his message referring
to the instructions to the Philippine,
commission and the liberties to be ac-
largely uses the exact language of the
ten amendments adopted immedi-
ately after the ratification of the con-
stitution. He evidently wished to make
the same liberties as we ourselves. If
he had the impression that the people
wanted it so his impression was no doubt
a correct one. Mr.. Bryan, however,
points out one very important omission.
He says:
One paragraph of the presidents in
structions to the commission reads as
follows:
accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy
and public trial, to be informed of the
nature and cause of the accuse ton;
to be confronted with witnesses
against him; to have compulsory process
fcr obtaining witnesses in his favor, and
have the assistance Of counsel for his
defense, is a literal quotation of the
with an important omission. The sixth
amendment reads: - =
THAT i'll all criminal prosecutions the
accused shall enjoy the. right, to a speedy
and public trial by an impartial Jury Of
the state and district wherein the crime
shall have been committed, which district
shall have been. previously ascertained
by law, and to be informed of the ma
ture and cause of the accusation; to be
confronted with the witnesses against
him; te have compulsory process for OBJ
tanning witnesses in his favor, and to
have the assistance of counsel Tor his
defense
Upon a comparison of the two 1T will
be found that the president has omitted
the following words:
BY an impartial jury of the state
and district wherein the crime shall
have been committed, which district
shall have been previously aseertained by
law.
That these words were omitted. inten-
the amendment is copied literally It Is
clearly the intention of the adninistra-
ton to deny to the Filipinos the right of
trial by jury. The jury system is not
part in the administration of justice, al
though there is a belief prevalent among
the corporations that we have outgrown
it.
1t is well enough to call attention to
this omission. It must, however, also
be remembered that at present the Phil
ippines are in a. state of transition. and
the government must take such meas
ures as are suitable for this transition
state To argue that these measures
are final and win always continue in
force, is absurd It is very question
able whether trial by jury would be a
wise institution in the Philippines just

THE HUMAN TRAGEDY.


However important and interesting
may be the investigation of the mys-
teries of the Great Beyond, the reading
of the common mysteries of life is more
absorbing. The every day life around us,
with its passions, it's loves, its hates, its
representation Of the stage.
All literature, all art, all music, tends
but to one erd-the revelation of one
soul to another. That which is best
within us we strive to express, that there
may be stronger bond of sympathy be-
tween ourselves and our fellow men.
Tie smile. the song the poem are but
different manifestations of the same de-
sire to open the portals of the soul, that
others may see within. The more active
the desire to read the riddle of life, the
more interest we have in the Individual
human. We long to tear aside the veil
of conventional reserve, and see for, our
selves what this human soul gets out
of life--how ambition and pride, love and
sorrow. act upon thesthoughts and mould
the character. \ -
