CURRENT COMMENT.

The Baltimore Sun (Dem), speaking of
the Grand Army of the Republic clamor
against Pension Commissioner Evans.
says: There is one way of giving sat
isfaction and silencing every clamor. and
perhaps only one way. That is to award
an original pension to each person who
can show that he votes the Republican
ticket This would put il in the power
of every citizen to get pension. At
would establish the Republican party
in power upon so firm foundation that
there would no longer be any danger TO
the gold standard. The rains might then
descend and floods might come and winds
might blow and beat upon that standard.
but II would not fall. The trusts and
tariff barons would no longer be required
to put up campaign funds TO preserve the
honor of the country. The colonial policy
would be as safe as the gold standard
and the tariff wall would be impregnable.
II the President should want to break
the record and have a third term It would
only be necessary for him to say So Why
should such an opportunity be iost?"
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says:
THE trial o. the contractors accused of
completely with Capt Oberlin NJ. Car
ter in ROOFING the government mas been
further delayed by appeal to the Supreme
Court on a question raised as to the va
lidity of the indictment against them.
The delay in this case is scandalous. IL
is evident that If Carter had been first
tried in the civil instead of the military
courts he might have escaped for years
the penalty of his crime"
Commenting on the third term sugges-
ton Of Depew and Grosvenor the Charles
ton News and Courier CDem) says: we
have no authority to speak for the new
Republican party IN this state. but as
long at least as MIR. Mckinley has any
patronage TO dispense In this region. We
should think that he might count WITH
certainty upon the South Carolina vote"
The Nashville American Dem) says:

when the Fish Begin to Bite.

From Leslie's Weekly.
When the warm creeps in the water and
the worms begin to crawl,
And the birds begin to chirrup round the
brook and waterfall;
When the toads begin to boiler and the
turtles come in sight,
That is when the season opens and the
fish begin to bite.
When the man housed in his Office in
the noisy, busting town
Feels that awful itchy feeling from his
stockings TO his crown;
When he slams his bulky ledger and va
mooses in the night,
That is when the fevers got him and
the fish begin to bite.
When the robins cherry carol comes
across the balny breeze.
And the boy along the mill-stream creeps
beneath the budding trees;
When he drops his hook so gently where
the little sinners skite.
There is JOY within his bosom, when the
fish begin to bite.
When the landlord in the country ad-
vertises beard and rooms
With his rivers fun of fishes and his
fields full of perfumes;
When he writes bis house is airy and
mosquitoes at night.
That is when the city empties and the
fish begin to bite JOE CONE.

He had sailed down hill over rough
stones until he was jolted into nervous
despair. says Lesliee Weekly. He was
hoping for a better way back, but in his
desire to find new roads and new expert
ences he had wandered far and he was
lost. He dismounted and leaned discon-
solately over the bicycle. Suddenly ma
tive came around the bend of the way
Can you tell me how l can ger back

I'VE kin go the way We come but

TO END BOER WAR.

There is considerable fighting reported
from South Africa, but signs that the
war is near its end are not lacking. The
announcement in our dispatches yesterday
that the purpose of the recent visit of
Queen Wihelmina to Berlin was for the
purpose of seeing if something could not
be done towards having trouble between
the British aud the Beers referred to The
Hague arbitration court has only a pass
ing interest, because it is not believed
that Germany or any other Power is like
ly to interfere without first understand
ing that interference would be acceptable
to Great Britain
That Great Britain does not desire in
reference seems to be accepted. While
il is true that she is not making much
Roadway in the direction of bringing the
war to a close she has no doubt that she
will eventually succeed in conquering the
Beers and forcing them to acdept what
ever terms she is willing to impose upon
them.
There is one thing, however, that is at
tracing attention in London. 1t is the
steady decline in British consols. They
seem to have the dry rot" No sooner
does the market show a tendency to hard
en- than there are large offerings of them,
and down goes the price. The belief seems
to be gaining ground that the selling is
from the inside-that is, by persons in
touch with the government, and that the
government has information that is cal
cuated to have a very depressing effect
upon the market when it is given 10 the
public. In support of this view it is point
ed out that the market for consols show
ed exactly the same condition just before
the outbreak of the Boer war. 1t seems
certain now thas the selling at that time
was by persons in touch with the govern
ment.
There are many surmises as 10 the
character of the bad news which the gov
eminent is Withholding from the public
assuming, of course, that there is bad
news. 1t may be that the government is
preparing to offer terms to the Beers
that would bring forth loud protest from
the lingo statesmen; it may be that a
rupture OF the cabinet Is imminent, or
that foreign complications of a serious
character are threatened.
1t is confidently believed that there is
something that is disturbing the govern
ment. In no other way can the steady
decline in the price of consols be explain
ed Whatever it is, assuming that there
is something which the government is
Withholding from the public, it will 'be
only few days, in all proba bility, before
the world will know it,.

The New York Press (Rep) learns that
there is going 10 be a fight in the Re
publican party in Congress against the
reelection of Speaker Henderson of the
House The opposition is to be by those
stalwaPts of protectionism who do not
like the Speakers close friendship for
and utilization with Representative Bah
cock and other Republican congressman
who have spoken in favor of tariff revis-
ion with a view to cutting down or off
much of the protectionism. Every one
of the men associated with Babcock in
his proposed onslaught on the protec-
tive tariff system" says the Press. is
a member of the combination which orig
inaily obtained Mr.. Hendersons election.
Henderson is inseparably connected with
them, and II has been said more than
once that at heart he is in accord wit h
Babeocks plans" When the statesmen
get back to Washington they may learn
that the Babeock idea has expanded. and
the high protectonists may find IT eN-
tremely difficult to maintain their posi-
ton. II has even been alleged that the
President is in favor of a lowering of
duties on certain lines.

NOT THE AGE OF GREAT MEN.

According to DR.. Patton, president OF
Princeton University, there are no great
men to-day-no Darwins or Gladstones to
compete with. Is not this a narrow view?
There may be no scholars the equal of
Gladstone or scientist the equal of Oar
win, but there are men who are solving
as great problems as they solved and
who are as great thinkers but in other
fields The empires and republics are
greater now than ever before and they
are being governed with as much success
as were the nations of the times when
the intellectual giants of which DR.. Pat
ton speaks lived. s
The Transportation systems for conduct
ing the worlds commerce are far greater
and vastly more complicated than in any
other age of the world. These systems
were invented and are conducted by men
of whom little is heard, but the intellee-
tual ability required of them is as great
as that displayed by the men whom DR..
Patton calls great.
The getting from the earth its wealth
of minerals and turning the mines to
account for the benefit of mankind re-
quire intellectual qualities of the highest
order. No ability was displayed in any
other age as great as they are showing
that is, ability in the field of their ac-
tivity.
1t seems to us that DR.. Patton was too
sweeping in his remarks He did not
give as much credit to men of the pres
ent age as they are entitled to. Glad
stone and Darwin were very great men,
but did either of them benefit the world
to as great an extent as Edison has?
There are more great men in this age
than there were in any other. There are
so many that they are not so easily dis
tinguished as when the number was far
smaller AS we get away from men who
stood out from the mass of their fellow
men they are apt to seem greater than
they did TO their contemporaries II Is
probable that a half a century hence
some of the men of to-day may seem
to be very great men to the people of that
time

An Anecdote of the Author of David
Rarum.


That the author of David FIarum"
was conspicuous for his mellow barytone
voice is little thought of by those who
only know him as an author, writes Helen
{. Candee in the Literary Era. 1t
was voice so sweet so rich, and so
flexible, that II could play any prank
with the emotions OF those who heard it,
and had Mr.. Westcott chosen to devote
his life to music he would have become "A
noted singer But he contented himself
with the modest position of basso in a
quartette choir in Syracuse and in de-
lighting his own special friends by sing
ing in a drawing room. He was fond
of telling of an occasion on which ne
was invited to sing at a concert in one
of the smaller towns of Western New
York. On this perfunctory jaunt-which
was quite without interest to the fas-
tidiCus Mr.. Westcott-he was saved from
such a hotel as that which insulted John
LenoX, by the hospitality of the man who
organized the concert, a person of much
local Importance. The musical affair
passed off satisfactorily with the help
of the neighborhood talent assisted by
Mr.. Westcott's rare voice. AS Mr.. West
colt was about to retire his host came
timidly to his room, carrying two long
paper boxes. II leave the house so early
in the morning 60 go to my factory"
the man explained, that I'm afraid I
may not see you, but 1 want to give you
something for your singing tonight.
Now, here's two pair of the very best
real whaleboned corsets that our factory
turns out, and / want you to take them
home with YOU" When MIR. Westcott
found he could not even protest effectual-
~, his sense of humor came to his re-
lief, and the fastidious man of cultivated
eXtrayagances stalked home laughing,
the next day, with two pair of useless
corsets in exchange for his matchless
songs.

The Santiago naval medals are to have
the profile Of Admiral Sampson on one
side and a has-relief of the battleship
oregon on the other. II was al first pro-
posed that the flagship New York should
be pictured on the medal but chat was
rejected because the New York took prac-
tioally no part in the battle. Then the
Brooklyn was suggested since she was

ceived more hits than any other vessel

Brooklyn was Schleys fag ship. and II

Among the theories to account for the
peopling of this continent the one most
generally accepted is that man came here
across Boring Strait from Asia. The prin-
cipal argument against this is the lack
OF resemblance in culture and customs
between the aborigines of this country
and the races of Asia. 1t is held by many
writers that the difference is too great
to warrant us in believing them to have
a common originL In a recent article on
this subject a writer claims that the diff
ference may be readily accounted for by
the fact that all the Asiatic arts and
customs would have been literally frozen
out of a migratory people in their getting
around Boring Strait AS they moved
northward they would, in the course of
generations lose the characteristics of
their life, one after another, especially
agriculture and the having of domestic
animals; and as they got nearer the Po-
lar Circle their whole energies would
necessarily be devoted to keeping warm
and finding food. According to this the
DRY the people that first crossed Boring
Strait lost all their culture before they
got here; but in moving Southwark they
developed again into improved ways of
living. All this, however, consumed gen
erations of time, and during that long
interval all trace of their original Asiatic
customs was obliterated and their new
customs were different

abroad that more Democrats than Re

the appointments will be agreeable to

u,rh,.. Telegraph Poles

The highest telegraph poles in the
United States have just been put up
in Beaumont, Texas. So far as known,
they are the highest of any in the
world, the top being $50 feet above
the ground They were erected on the
opposite banks of the Neches river by
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany in order to string its cable across
the stream The span is 144 feet in
length. This height is necessary to
admit the passage of ships through
the drawbridge, their masts being 100
feet tall and more. This aerial span
was preferred to laying submarine
cable. for it is expected that Congress
NAV at some future day have the
Neches river dredged, and this would
ruin the cable. 1t is also much the
cheaper.
