CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem) says; There used to be an
impression that whatever his virtues.
President Mckinley lacked f1rmness.
On the contrary, President Roosevelt
has long cultivated a reputation for
robust firmness. And yet history will
records that it was Roosevelt and not
Mckinley who yielded to the demands
of the pension raiders"
The Philadelphia Record Dem.)
says: Attorney General Knox has I'M
dertaken to beg for equity at the
hands of the courts in restraint of the
extortions of the beef trust This may
end in nothing but a Gathering of
campaign thunder. But the Republican
Congress has it in it's power to instant
ly do equity by repeal of the duty
on meats and live stock. Why doesn't
the Congress mover"
The New York Times (Dem.) says:
IF the beef trust can be found it ought
to take only a few days to put it I'M
der the restraint of a temporary in
junction. 1t would then be estopped
from restraining trade and putting up
prices. The natural law of competition
would resume its sway and the price
of beef would come down with a run.
This will be the real test of the virtue
and efficacy of the proceeding"
The New York Evening Post Qnd.)
says: There is one feature of the In
diana platform which affords ground
for rejoicing-the plank on the section
al issue which is not there. Repre-
sentative Crumpacker has been for
years the chief advocate of the scheme
for cutting down the representation of
the Southern states in Congress and
the electoral college because the ne
groes are not allowed to vote, and he
was urgent for the Endorsement of the
idea by this convention. But the man
ayers refused him the slightest encour-
agement. and kept all reference to the
South out of the platform. This may
be considered the formal rejection Of

Congress is to appropriate $4,000 for
experiments looking to the promotion
of the cane syrup industry in the
South, thanks to the good work Of
Congressman Brantley of the Eleventh
district of Georgia. The probabilities
are that the most of the appropriation
will be expended in this state, since
Lower Georgia has taken the lead in
the syrup industry. With this sum of
money, much valuable information can
be secured to the farmers. The great
drawback in syrup making at present
is the difficulty of securing a uniform
grade of the article. One farmer may
make several grades from a single
crop. If uniformity can be secured,
better prices can be obtained for the
syrup. Georgia cane syrup already
stands high in the estimation of con-
sumers. 1t is the best and purest
table syrup that can be had to-day.
We look, however, to see the produc-
ton many times greater than 1t is
\ at present within the course Of the

The literature of the water cure"
as practiced in the Philippine Islands
is still further enriched by the state
ment of Charles E. James of Los An
geles. Cal. Mr.. James was formerly a
lieutenant in the Twenty-third regi-
ment, u. S. ". and saw some service
in the islands. At one time he was
captured by Filipinos, who marched
him for three days through the noun
tains without food. Then, desiring to
obtain some military information
which they imagined Lieut. James
could give them, the Filipinos subject
ed him to the water cure. He found
it disagreeable. he says, but not so
terrible as people have been led to be-
lieve. At one time he strangled, but
a cough set matters right again. After
the treatment he suffered no i'll eff
fects. He does not believe the cure"
is dangerous to human life. He does
not. however, recommend it as a spe-
cific for indigestion.

Andrew Carnegie received his libra
~ inspiration from Col. James Ander-
son, in 1858. Col. Anderson, the pion-
eer iron master of the Pittsburg dis
trict, owned a splendid library, in
which he permitted young Carnegie to
browse, to his hearts content. While
enjoying Col. Anderson's books, Car
negie resolved that if he ever became
rich he would establish libraries in
which poor young men might find the
mental pabulum denied them by their
circumstances. He is now carrying out
that resolve, with various municipal
tiles assisting him materially in the
undertaking. In recognition of his
source of inspiration, Mr.. Carnegie is
going to erect a $4,000 memorial to
Col. Anderson in Allegheny, a suburb
of Pittsburg.

wished He Was a Mosquito.

1t was before the hour of recess in
one of the lower grades of primary
school in the northwest part of the
city, says the Philadelphia Telegraph
The class had just finished a reading
lesson and was started on arithmetic.
A lesson in multiplication was given,
and the clatter of pencils over the
states, coupled with the constant hum
of the tots in figuring out the exam
Piles, made a noise in the room not I'M
like that in a machine shop. Although
it was early in the day, the teacher
looked weary, for she had a class OF
about thirty boys and twenty-five girls,
and the boys were a mischievous lot
and up to all the school tricks of the
day. There was one little fellow seat
ed on the last form that seemed to be
struggling harder than the rest to ac-
complish the task before him. Finally
he let his slate fall to the desk, ana
with a bang his pencil dropped on the
floor breaking into many pieces. he
threw his elbow to the desk and held
his head in his hand. There was an at
titude of don't care" about him, ana
all this attracted the teacher who, up
on going to where he was seated, found
the example on his slate done in four
different ways and each with a differ
ent result. WHAT'S the natter asked
the teacher. There was no reply. and
the tutor again asked, Cant you do
the example?" The boy by this time
had evidently lost his bashfulness and
answered, Nom. 1 wish 1 was mos
keeter, though" why, that's pc
culiar wish to make" said the teach
err; isn't there something nicer than
that to long for?'' We'll" began the
diminutive lad. papa told me last
night that moskeeters multiply so
fast"
The recess bell then rang and pre-
vented an uproar among the children,
although the teacher who now tells
the story says she has many good
laugh when she thinks of the incident

Col. Daniel S. Lamont is the bene-
flciary of wee bit of a presidential
boom that has been launched by John
S. Neill, Democratic National commit
teeman from Montana. Mr.. Neill says
that in Montana the people feel that
the silver question has been settled,
and they are looking for a man who
can win. Col. Lamont, in his opinion,
is such a man. Mr.. Neill says Mr.. Hill
and Mr.. German are .skillful politicians,
but he is sure Lamont would be strong
er in the West than either of them.

President-elect Palma of Cuba wishes
to begin his administration of the af-

There is trouble for the administra-
ton in Wisconsin Republican politics.
The convention that renominated Rep
resentative Babcock the other day
failed to indorse the administration,
the tariff on trust-made articles. The
failure to indorse is regarded as fore
casting a fight against Senator Spoon
er, towards whom Gov. Lafollette is
none too friendly. There is a split
and quarrel in the Republican ma
chine in Montana. also. President
Roosevelt is supposed TO be very strong
in the West. but it looks as if trouble
were brewing for him in that section.

Those who despaired of the POSSIBLE
ity of civilizing the Indians may take
heart. That they are capable of reach
ing UP to the white mans ways has
been freshly illustrated in Nebraska,
where two or three tribes have formed
a trust to control the manufacture and
sale of Indian souvenirs. And the trust
announces that it means to put up
prices at once. The only manner in
which this trust of redskins differs
from the trusts of the palefaces is that
the former frankly declares its pur-
pose is to put up prices.

One may hear almost any day OF
man running to be the mayor of the
town in which he lives, but it is only
about once in a life time that one
hears of a man running to keep from
being mayor; yet that is what has just
occurred in Ohio. And it is still more
strange that it should have occurred
in Ohio. At Urichsville, in the state
named, the Democrats recently nomi-
mated c. c. Klein for mayor, against
his will. Klein refused to make the
campaign, and said he did not want
the office. AS it was a strong Repub-
lican town, he did not worry himself
great deal about the matter. But
when the votes were counted it was
seen that Klein had been elected by
large majority. When the Inaugural
ton day came around the mayor elect
was missing. A day or two later he
was heard from in neighboring town,
from which he sent word that he had
left home to keep from being mayor,
and that he would not return until
some other man had been selected and
indicted into office. For an Ohio man,
this undoubtedly breaks the record.

If it is true that Gen. Miles desires
to go abroad as a military representa-
tive of the government about the time
of the coronation of King Edward, as
has been alleged, why should not the
administration send him? 1t could
thereby accomplish the double pur-
pose of temporarily removing a thorn
from it's flesh, and showing the people
on the other side of the ocean what
handsome soldiers we have in Amer
lea. There is no man in the service
who knows better how to wear a uni
form that Gen. Miles, and none that
shows a finer "set-up" in the gold lace
and shiny buttons. In full regimen

any assembly.
