NEW SPAPER OPINION
Roosevelt and the Bear
N the WASHINGTON POST

Roosevelt and the Bear
From the Washington Post.
One can see. without putting any
serious strain upon his eyes, that SEN
ator Pritchard, Of North Carolina. is
trying to inname the eager and hot
passions of President Roosevelt, whose
ardor for the chase and whose appetite
for danger have already passed into
the history Of the world. Senator
Pritchard, in fact, offers to the Presi-
dent the inestimabe opportunity of a
single-handed combat with a bear.
The story. as 1t reaches us through
the medium of a special dispatch from
Charlotte to the New York World. runs
to the effect that away down in the
neighborhood of Pigeon river, Hay
wood county-you can find It in the
rivers and harbors bill, no doubt,
slated for a handsome II mysterious ap-
proprlatlon-away down there, we say.
a bear of special interest and ferocity
awaits Mr.. Roosevelt and his impet.
uous onslaught. According to the ac-
count now before us. this bear is the
sole survivor OF a domestic calamity in
which his mother and his elder BROTH
er perished at the hands of one Mark
Reece. a famous hunter and assassin
OF "big game" Mark Reece shot to
death the old bear and then strangled
and killed, in a desperate hand-to-
hand conflict. the elder cub. (The
harrowing details we omit. And now
Senator Pritchard implores President
Roosevelt to VISIT Haywood county and
choke the sole remaining relic Of that
family tragedy.
The prospect ought to be alluring to
a person of Mr.. ROosevelts warlike
kidney. We shall not stop to speculate
upon the size and power of a young
bear that still follows it's mother fod
purposes of milk. The New York
! Worlds dispatch describes the dead
cub as a monster OF ferocity and
strength, and that is quite enough fod
us. AS We see it, in the light of his ex-
ploits among the mountain lions ol
Colorado. the President has no alter.
native. He must go to Pigeon River
wherever that may be-and kill with
his strong hands that devastating
monster of the wilderness. This, as
it seems to us. is a clear case oi

a Bryan Epigram
3 CHICAGO Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Now and then Mr.. Bryan. in spite Of
his flood of talk and endless repeti-
tions, hits upon an epigram with a
grain of aptness in t. In his speech at
Rockland, Me-. one point that pleased
the crowd was that while a poor man
was going round trying to find some
thing to put into his stomach, the rich
man was going from one watering
place to another to find a stomach to
put something into" But this, after all.
like most of the Bryan epigrams, is
only half a truth. 1t seems to be diff
ficult for him to tell the whole truth.
There never was a time when the poor
man had so little difficulty in putting
things into his stomach, and putting in
so many things and such good Things
as now. Always provided he is will,
ing to work for them. If he isn't Will
ing he doesn't deserve to have any
thing in his stomach. On the other
hand. Mr.. Bryan is undoubtedly cor
rect when he says that rich men are
hunting for stomachs TO put some
thing into. 1t is one of the penaltiea
some of them have to pay for theil
riches. But if Mr.. Bryan's theories
were put into practice how much bet.
ter OFF would they be? They woult
have neither riches nor stomachs.

The statistics which the Department

industry with the rise of the manufac-

State departments of agriculture there
are this year 260 1000 acres devoted to

the corn acreage of Indiana in 1899 was

A WATERSPOUT.

A waterspout 100 feet high and 20
feet wide was seen in the Chesapeake
Bay below Annapolis by the officers Of
the steamer Potomac, which arrived in
Baltimore yesterday.
Captain John Smith, master OF the
Potomac, states that while the steamer
was bound down the Bay Sunday for
the Rappabannock river. and was be.
tween Thomas Point and Poplar Island
he saw, over toward the western shore,
what seemed to be a cloud OF greatly
sgitatsd mist, apparently whirling
about on Rn axis at the surface OF the
waters.
As the Potomac went nearer the
cloud it was seen to be throwing of
showers ofsprsy, and that the rain Of
gems came from a Writhing waterspout
that formed the center of the upheaval.
The troubled mass Of water was half as
wide and four times as high ss the
steamboat.
A strong swell was running before q
northwest blow that filed the waters
With tumoling whtscsps.
The rare sight had been In view about
10 minutes when ii gradually began TO
fall and break in spray, and finally
came to the level Of the water. The
spot where the waterspout had been
still seemed to iroth and surge until 1t
passed from the sight of the wstchers
on the swiftly moving steamer. and it
was fnslly lost to view 10 a terrific
lightning and tbuRder storm and down.
