TAME. FISH IN A RIVER.

Travellers story of What He Saw

When In camp the other day, I was
riding through a village when the viii
lage headman asked me If would liko

the hendman meant, at once went with
him down to the banks of the stream,
followed by several villagers with
baskets of sessanum and paddy mixed
together. Then the thuggl called Lay.

when, 10 and behold, large herd Of
ngatwe, or big, short, fiattlsh fish,
came up just under our feet and were
promptly fed by the Burmans.
The fish We're amazingly tame and
tolerated being strohed and petted
even by me. There were In all about
thlrty-three Of them, varying In size
from eighteen inches TO three and q
half feet long, the larger ones having
n glrth at the gills of about thirty inch
es. They would go away and come
back whenever they were called.
The Villagers told me--and see no
reason to doubt what they say-that
these same Ash come up against the
monsoon food at the end of June and
go away about october every year.
They can recognize individual fish by
marks, scars, ETC., which they pointed
out to me.
The Mon is nearly dry in the cold
and end Of the hot weather, and the
fact that these fish return to this one
village landing stage every year reg.
ularly and never go to any other is
qnite worthy Of remark. A yillager
who kills any Of them has to undergo
penalty of 10 shillings by common
consent, and great care is in conse-
quence taken OF them.
The ngatwe of upper Burma is n

from behind the gills to the tail, has

Senators Tillman and McLaurin
Of South Carolina had a fist fight
in The senate the other day and the
dignity Of that body was all
wrenched out Of shape. The SEN
ate doubtless feels the humiliation
caused by this pugilistic demon

things done by members Of that
august body that had less respect,
less honor and less honesty about
them that there is in a fist fight
between two South Carolina SEN
ators. Don't forget that.

the job with if he hopes to sue
coed.
Attorney General Knox is a trust
attorney, as we'll as the legal rep
resentatlve of the U,ited States
government. He is interested in
steel trust securities and has
in the past been employed as a reg
ular attorney for trusts and cor
porations. His sympathies are
not with the common people, but
with the trusts. It is not likely
that, even under the orders of the
strenuous Roosevelt, he will put
up a very vigorous fight against the
railway trust. True, Teddy could
remove him, for the office of at
torney general is an appointive
one, but he would hardly do this
for the reason that he has. political
aspirations for 1904 and if he
threw the "trusty" Knox over
board he would in cur the enmity
OF many prominent republican
leaders with whom he has to reck-
on, as well as that of the trust
magnates who put up the bulk of
the republican campaign fund on
presidential years.
The whole thing looks like a
grand stand play for public conf
dence, though The UNION hopes
It is not. If through the action of
the attorney general the railway
combination is defeated, well and

good. The credit will be Roose-
velt's as it should be. If, on the
other hand, the prosecution is a
half-hearted affair Of the milk and
water order and the formation Of
this gigantic trust is notprevented,
Roosevelt will have less Of the
confidence of the people than he
has today. It is hoped that his
aspirations for 1904 will have one
good resultant Of making him
see that the attorney general puts
up the right kind Of a fight. We
shall see.

SOME RI REMARKABLE CHANGES.

"kOuSAt III III poiiSJ a. ASPucii
during the past six years + mar
velous, remarkable, and in many
ways deplorable. We have set
aside and repudiated, as a nation,
the precedents of a century. We
have in many ways adopted the
methods of the monarchy and en-
pire. We have forgotten tradition,
cast aside the sacred truths which
made us great and powerful, and
ignored the document which de-
clared our independence to the
world. All these changes form the
history of the past six y~ears--radi-
cal, dangerous and deplorable.
Ten years ago no loyal citizen
would have dared to predict that
the constitution of the nation would
not apply wherever the American
flag hoated. Ten years ago no
citizen would have ventured
the prediction that our country
would adopt the colonial policy Of
the old world-the policy of hold
ing vassals, subjects-a policy that
has strewn the shores of history
with the wrecks of governments
stronger than our own. Ten
years ago no loyal citizen would
have dared to prophesy that this
great republic would have given
aid and comfort to a monarchy in
its work Of destroying two st1ug-
republics and depriving their
of freedom and liberty.
Ten years ago no loyal citizen
have been rash enough to
guess that slavery would be recog-
nized in territory under the Ameri-
can flag. Ten years ago no loyal
citizen would have ventured to
say that the time would come
when the r representatives. of our
government would prohibit the
reading, printing and circulation
of the Declaration OF Independence
among the people over which the
flag of this country should float.
Ten years ago no loyal citizen
would have cared to assert that the
lay would come when a man should
be chosen and sent to represent us
at a coronation of a king.
Yet these are the departures we,
as a nation, have made from the
safe moorings of a hundred years.
Such changes have brought dis
aster to other nations-they will
the same results wherever
they are persisted in. How have
they Gomez Mainly through the
of the common people who
have allowed themselves to be
blinded by a measure of prosperity
and have laid all aside in the
scramble for the almighty dollar.
In the present melee people are
not thinking. The time will come,
however, when they will meet with
a rude awakening, and they might
well pause now and ask them
