Brute Instincts.

An incident occurred in the town OF
Muncie. Indiana, a few days ago, which
is worthy of some attention; for the
humble heroine of it was a hen. The
stable in which the hens nest was
situated caught fire, and the birds in
stinct led her to remain on her nest
protecting it as well as she could, un-
Ill the flames ended her life. They were
extinguished, however. in time to save
the brood of chicks, which were hatched
in due season.
If this had been a human mother the
deed would have been called heroism,
and it may as well be called so in the
case of the hen. There have been nu-
merous other cases of birds protecting
their young in situations quite as try
ing. Houses or which the storks have
built nests have been burned, and the
mother stork has refused to leave her
nest; and wild birds have been seen to
show the same desperate devotion in
forest fires.
Some people-rot the highest or most
intelligent thinkers, by the way-are in
clined to sneer at instincts which they
call animal" even at that Of mother
hood. The beauty Of any instinct does
not depend on its origin, but on its
nature. There is no disgrace in inherit
ing mother love, or the instinct of pa
ternal protection, or filial trust, or the
tendency to comradeship and organiza-
ton. from savage ancestors, or from
any of the brute creation, for the mat
ter of that; and, in fact, one sometimes
feels that it would be better TO be a
decent brute than to be some men. II
is a great deal better to have a good
! instinct inherited from nobody knows
what progenitor than to nave lot OF
| vices bequeathed to one from degen-
crate who was somebody with title
Some people were inclined, fifty years
ago to feel insulted when Darwin ad-
! yanced his theory of mans descent
from an arboreaI ancestor. In reading
their arguments the modern scientist is
inclined to wonder if il was not the
ape who was insulted. The test of
mans character is not what he came
| from. but what he makes of himself
and his family. He can control then
to some extent; his ancestors he cannot
control or select. The history OF event
and people for the last thousand years
goes to show that it is rather dangerou!
to predict that no good can come out o.
any particular stock. When such pre-
diction is made it seems the design o.
Providence to select that stock soon af
terward for some striking exhibition o

America and Europe.

All talk about European industrial
and financial combinations against the
United States is sheer nonsense In the
first place it is utterly impracticable to
unite the great commercial nations OF

as adverse to each other as they are to
those Of this country.

A GOLD DEMOCRAT CANDIDATE.
Mr.. Bryan Suggests That Mr.. Justice

LINCOLN, Neb., June n.-Bryan brings
forward Mr.. Justice Harlan in this weeks
"Commoner" as a proper candidate for

LAMP he says:
The Cold Democrats seem anxious to
find a Presidential candidate who is not
tainted with the silver heresy,' and in
sist that was their main objection to the
ticket nominated in 1896 and in 1900 Why
do they not urge the nomination of JUS
tice Harlan? Of course Mr.. Harlan is not
a Democrat, but that objection ought not
to weigh with the Gold Democrats who
voted for Mr.. Mckinley.
Mr. Harlan has not only placed him
self on record against imperialism, but
he also wrote a dissenting opinion in the
income tax case and opposed the position
taken by the Supreme Court in the Sugar
Trust case. He has a splendid record on
three prominent questions, but this is the
very reason why the Gold Democrats
would object to him. They prefer a Demo-
crat who endorses Republican policies to
a Republican who supports Democratic
