MEXICO is scared now for fear
Uncle Sam will want to annex the
new republic of Panama. Ell ITEM
20, the clerical organ of Mexico
City says:
profound stupefaction has been
caused in Mexico by the news in
regard to the revolution which has
broken out on the isthmus of Pana-
ma. 1t is perceived not to be merely
another revolution added TO the
already long list of those that have
occurred in South America, but it
is farcical prelude to a terrible
drama, which is about to unfold
itself on the coveted isthmus and
which will end perhaps with the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the unhappy
Colombian nation and the augmen-
tation of the prestige and power of
the United States on the American
continent"

DOES ANYBODY KNOW?

Can anybody tell if Lynn
Is where they train the innet?
Or why an angle worm has not
A single angle in it?
Buffalo Express
And while you are about it, say,
What is the reason why
May apples do not come in May,
Or June bugs till July?
Chicago Times
Or why the daisies are not dazed
When the rain falls from the sky,
And piebald horses are not raised
By eating piebald pie?
Brooklyn Eagle
Then tell US why dogwood bark
Is but a catnip tea,
And why a man is on lark
When he is all at sea?
Buffalo Commercial
Or why the cowslip is no COW,
Will someone please explain,
Or why the Rains Law, tell us, now,
Is not enforced by rain?
Orange Tribune
And whenyou We told us all these things,
Please tell us if you can,
For we would really like to know,
Just how old is Ann?

THAT Chicago paper certainly
did put it strong when it reported
that San Antonio has had over a
thousand cases of yellow fever
and that the death rate was one
hundred a day. Evidently there are
no detention camps for liars at the

A Terrible Calamity.

A terrible calamity befell York
town Sunday. There was not a
keg of beer in the town and the
citizen telling US about it said no
such state of affairs ever existed
before since it was any sort of a
town 1t was a terrible thing in
deed for some OF those Yorktown
ties to have to wait a half dozen
hours for beer.-Cuero Record.
1t was Sunday in old Yorktown
And the sun was shining bright,
But the citizens we're gloomy,
For there was no beer in sight.
Sweetly chimed the silv'ry church
bells,
Sending forth their sacred call,
But the dearth of fragrant lager
Cast a shadow over all.
On the streets the thirsty people
In angry mobs gathered round
To discuss the great disaster
There was no beer in town.
Yellow fever has its terrors,
Yet we face it without fear,
Better far to pass our checks in,
Than live six hours without beer.

A LETTER from Dir. McMasters of
Monterey states that the once
beautiful city has, since the terrible
visitation of yellow fever, become
a veritable bowling wilderness"
The streets and plazas have been
denuded of all trees and foliage in
the efforts of the health officers to
rout out the deadly mosquito.
Nearly all the Americans have left
the city as well as a large proper
ton of the wealthy natives. All bus
mess is paralyzed and the doctor
fears it will be many years before
the city fully RECEIVERS from the
effects of the direful epidemic.

It's blank shame to talk about

we'll cut his name off our visiting

we meet him.

Criticising The Courts.

One of the great sius of the Chicago
platform in the eyes of the Baltimore
Manufacturers Record. and publi-
cations OF its class, was its criticism
OF the courts
But when the courts go the way
these publications think they ought
not to, they at once become hostile to
them and critrri>e them without
gloves.
For instance, the last tissue OF the
Record quotes apprOvelngly what the
vice president of the Texas Central
railroad company has To ssy of the
Texas courts and juries.
This gentleman says:
AS long a. the present attitude
assumed by the Texas courts and
jurieS exists against railroad canpau-
les this company will make no further
In 1896 in the eyes of the Record il
was rank anarchy for loyal demo-
| Gratis to criticise the courts and now
the Record is doing il AT random and
just for instance.
1t makes some difference some
times which OK is gOred.
1t was all objectionable sin for
democrats to bolt the party when
Grover Cleveland was nominated but
this sin changed into y heroic virtue
when Bryan was nominated.
We are amused at the Records
great chunks of wisdom.
For instance it says:
There is vast difference between
local self-gOvernment and govern
ment by mob or no government"
There is also q vast difference be-
tween merely cherishing traditions of
self-gOvernment and actual self-gOv-
eminent"
Indeed, the Record is very anus
ing paper.

Worse than the irons about his
ankles, however, was the fact that a
light was kept constantly burning in
his room and he was awakened every
fifteen minutes, which made sleep
almost impossible.
In another part of the letter we
have quoted from Mr. Dana to Mr..
stanton he says:
mr.. Davis bore himself with a
naughty attitude His features were
composed and his step firm. His hair
and beard are not so gray a. has been
represented and he seems much less
worn and broken by anxiety and

and his sleep disturbed by being
awakened every fifteen minutes,

ture WAS his torture OF mind-that he
was refused messages and tydings

Unless man il immortal, the moral
universe, 20 far As he Is concerned,
disappears all together. If he does
not survive the grave, it makes no
difference 10 him whether there be
God or devil, heaven or hell. And it
must be not only survival. but with
continuity of consciousness as well,
if the evil are to be punished and the
good rewarded hereafter. To infiict
the penalty of violated law upon a
being who does not know that he has
offended is not punishment, but
revenge. Conscious identity may not
be q necessary condition of intelli-
gence, but il is essential in morals. 1t
is conceivable that q being may know
without knowing that he knows, but

sins, nor be punished unless he knows
for what wrong he suffers.-John j.
