were laid at the door Of Christian
Science, says the Philadelphia Ledger.

possible that a cure could be effected

story Of a boy who encountered q

much of mis- ..ealth," replied the boy.
"Nonsense!" commented the G. s.
"He only thinks he's i'll. Tell him that
the next time he complains. Tell him

Two or three days later they met
again, and the c. S. asked:
How Is your father today?"
"Father-father thinks he's dead

TO DEFEND THE USE OF ABsiNTH

Society in Paris.

Marvels will never cease! In spite
OF the general campaign against in

glorifcation Of the green liquor.
1t is called "The General Union for
the Defense of Absinths,' and its OBJ
ject Is to found in Paris, as we'll as IL
the provinces and abroad, centers for
the purpose Of combating the propa-
gGnda carried on against intemperance
in general, and the consumption Of abb
sinthe in particular.
A perusal of the prospectus leaves
one wondering what madmen are
these, but the cat is let out of the bag
in the final clause, which refers to
the rational defense of absinthe and
the interests it represents" The
whole thing thus turns out to be q
move on the part of manufacturers
who are seriously alarmed by the
growth of tho temperance movement.

Bryan will say in reply to the ar
ticle written recently by Grover
Cleveland:
"In deciding what weight to
give to Mr.. Cleveland's opinion we
cannot ignore the part he played in
recent contests which have result
ed in defeat. He speaks OF the
old-time success of the party and
yet he not only did all he could to
defeat the party in 1896, but he
had the modification from which
he has never recovered, of seeing
ticket poll about million more
votes when it than the
when he opposed it when he was a
candidate four years before with a
united party behind him. If Mr..
Cleveland and his followers demand
positions of leadership, let him
bring Endorsements that bear
Democratic signatures.
IF Mr.. Cleveland's record did
not stop him entirely from offer
ing advice to tn e Democratic par
ty, it would show conclusively that
he is insincere III putting forward
tariff reform, imperialism and the
trust question as the most impor-
tant issues. In 1900 the Democrat
ic party declared and not Onl y de.
clared private monOpl y to be in

Did this platform win the support

question which to him is of para
mount Importance, namely, thu
money question. He now dis

to the test he preferred gold stand

Never get into your head that
you are to good to mingle with
common people" Nice clothes
aud a four-inch collar do not nee
essarily make you too good to be
civil to those who wear blue over
alls and blouse. In young men
this feeling is called swell head
and in old men aristocracy. What
ever it may be it is not gentleman
illness. No man can be a gentle
man who treats the workingman
as an inferior being. Some of the
most intelligent men of the age
were at one time, are to-day work
ingmen-men who are not afraid
to take off their coats and work at
hard labor. But the man who
boasts that he never had to work
and always had good clothes and
who thinks he is doing the work
ingman a great favor by speaking
to him, is one the world could get
along much better without. The
workingman can get long with
ont the well dressed gentleman who
does no work, but the well dressed
gentleman could not get along

German Marriage Laws.

In Germany when a woman marries
she becomes very much her husbands
property. Any independence she may
ever be said to have had is now given
hp for her husband is indeed her lord
and master. He can compel her to
work and to do anything that Is law
full for woman to do, and II he proves
hard and unkind she has no relief or
redress except in public opinion. The
property which was hers before mar
riage becomes her husbands. and he
can dispose Of 1t according as he sees
fit even in the face Of her opposition.
Surprising that the pair should be d.
vorced. the husband retains the wife's

GEN. SMITH DEFENDED.

Not directly, yet Enthusiastically and
strongly, at the dinner given Thurs
day night by the New York Chamber
Of Commerce to it's foreign guests at
the Arlington Hotel, Washington, d.
c., Gen. S. b. NJ. Young, who will sue
coed Gen. Miles in command Of the
army, defended Gen. Jacob Smith, who
was retired before reaching the retir-
ing age. for barbarities in the Philip
pines. Did this defense carry any
criticism oS the President. who retired
Gen. Smith? 1t is probable that no
criticisms was intended The only in
tention was to say a word in justice
to the brave soldiers who have served
and those who are now serving in the
Philippines.
Among other things Gen. Young said:
ITO carry on war, disguise it as we
may, is to be cruel-to kill and burn,
to burn and kill, and again kill and
burn" He said that if it had not been
the desire of the American people to
deal with the Filipinos as gently as
possible the Philippine war would not
have lasted nearly as long as it did,
and that much, if not ALL of the clam
or that was raised against our soldiers
for alleged crueIties came from people
who knew nothing about the conditions
in the Philippines nor of the difficulties
with which our soldiers had to con-
tend.
OF course there is a great deal of
truth in what Gen. Young said. If
there had not been so much clamor it
is doubtful if the President would have
felt it his duty to deal so harshly with
Gen. Smith. 1t may be that that old
and grizzled soldier permitted himself
to express his feelings too strongly in
giving orders in regard to Samar, but
If there had not been a public senti-
ment to placate it is a question wheth-
er Gen. Smith would have been pun
ished as severely as he was. He at
least has the satisfaction of knowing
that his brother officers of the Philip
pines stand by him-that they believe
that he was not more barbarous than
the situation demanded.
