OUR BRAINY CONTEMPORARIES.

Of course we shall have the usual cynical re-
ection from the hostile press that the closeness of
the Northern Securities decision destroys much of
its force, because slight deviation in one anoth
er mind on the supreme bench. would have turned
the verdict in favor of the railroads. The curious
history of the insuar will be recalled and we
shall be RECALLED with highly humorous speculations
upon the strange course of reasoning by which
Justice Brewer, for example, reaches a conclusion
with whose supporting premises he cannot agree.
Let us admit that no has ever succeeded in
showing that the various paths followed by the ma
jority opinions on the insular were consistent
and logical in leading up to the ority decision
What does that show. unless it shows that the
supreme court recognized, perhaps unconsciously
and unexpressed, that the hand of the Government
should be sustained, and that, somehow other in
dividual views enough to form ma jority of the
court, must be nodded to the desired result? This
is not very lofty edifying view of the exigen-
cies of the situation, but it is not thereby ren-
dered impossible
At the time of the insular decisions we under
took to show that the Government was sustained by
the supreme court because, underlying the discus
sons of evidence and statutory interpretation there
was the conviction that the question at issue was,
after all, political question. This thought was
imbedded in the opinions in more than place.
The idea that in the administration of the new
dependencies of the executive department. and
especially the legislative department. must proceed
upon the lines that demonstrate themselves as
right and necessary to be followed and that it was
the fitting province of the judicial department
to cooperate rather than stand in the way.
With all due respect to high traditions and con-
sciousness of the supreme court, and with the be-
lief that doubtless every member of that body would
deny truthfully, that such agreement was had or
even contemplated, we shall nevertheless hazard
the conjecture that the merger decision was rem
dered the way it was from consciousness in the
minds of the justices that public policy required
the sustention oe the Government. When the
secrets of this time revealed to future genera
tons it will not be strange if it is shown in this
case as in others the effect was if the chief JUS
tice had said, in imitation of John Marshall: 1--WE
must sustain the Government; will Justice Harlan
find decision to suit?' ?''-Oregonian, Mar: IS.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Thanks to careful study of the daily press we
are now able to make a very close approximate
estimate of the number of japanese soldiers now
in Corea, ready for service. Though cannot
give the exact NUMBER, yet the experts of the
press figure it as between I, 300 and 21o,ooo This
ought to be near enough to satisfy the most ex-
acting.
1t is not expected that the epidemic of Shat
rothites will break in Congress to any alarming
extent. Senator Tillman has one of the microbes
which he is carefully nursing, but it doesn't seem
to thrive Perhaps the little black bottle con-
tanned an anti mcrobe mixture, proof against
any epidemic of that nature. If South Carolina
mountain dew is an antidote for this deadly bac-
terra, perhaps the essence of Kentucky blue
grass may be as useful. If so new industry has
been added to the country, and new use for one
of its most famous products.
1t has finally been decided that Bryan will pre-
sent Hearst's to the ST. Louis convention.
Finding that Tammany is still opposed to him,
Hearst is con6nng his work to outside states par
ticularly in the South and West where he is rapid
1y gaining ground. Willie's barrel is doing some
effective work. and the chances even that he
will capture the nomination.
William Randolph is following closely in the
footsteps OF the first great martyr of Democracy.
"Samuel the unappreciated" and like his illustri-
Gus prototype ''reform" and 'barrel'' synoni-
nous terms in his vocabulary. Go it, Willie; we
hope you'll get it; you easy to beat.

When great enterprises looking to the advance
of the countrys best interests to be pushed
to performance the Republican party is always the
one to execute them. The Democratic party simply
assail and repeal. The Panama Canal is only one
OF the many great achievements that will stand to
the party's credit. The Republican party stopped
the spread of slavery in the Kansas contest before
it got possession of the executive branch of the
Government
The second great act was the passage of the
Morrill, tariff, which it compelled Buchanan to sign
just before he stepped out of Office.
1t saved the Union, raised large army and
navy, created vast financial system, and restored
the Governments credit, which had been lost un-
der Democratic rule, and provided for an expendi-
ture during four years of that for long period
reached the enormous sum of S., 1000, 900 day.
After saving the Union and destroying slavery
it restored the seeded states to their old places
and gave them a start under which they have made
greater progress than they could have done under
the old slavery regime, and all this progress and
development has been antagenized by the domi-
nant party of the South. The Republican party
has made them rich and prosperous in spite of them
selves, and with characteristic ingratitude they
work and vote against it on every occasion.

How Insects Make Music.

The katydid has wing that Is very
curious to look at, says Laura Roberts,
in -Four Feet, Two Feet, and No Feet"
You have seen this little insect, have
no doubt. It's color is light green, and
just where the wing joins the body
there is thick ridge, and another on
the wing. On this ridge there is a
thin but strong skin which makes a
sort of drumhead.
1t is the rubbing of these two ridges
OF drumheads together which makes
the queer noise you have heard There
is no music in it. certainly. The in
sects could keep quiet if they wished,
but they must enjoy making the noise
The katydid sometimes makes two
rubs on it's drumhead. and sometimes
three. You can fancy, she says:
Katy did," "She did," or "She didn't"
The moment it is very dark they be
gin. Soon the whole company is at
work. AS they rest after each rubbing
it seems as if they answered each
other.
Do you know that bees hum from
under their wings? 1t is not the stir
Of those beautiful light wings that we
hear. 1t is the air drawing In and
out OF the air tubes, in the bees quick
fight. The faster the bee flies, the
louder the humming is. Did you know
that insects feel? Indeed they do!
They have nerves all over them,
through their wings and out to the end
CT every feeler.

The Word Maunet.

Thousands of years ago q mineral
having the strange power Of attracting
iron was found in the country ancient
ly called Magnesia, in Asia Minor. The
name of this country has given us the
word magnet" This mineral, which
Is now called the lodestone (not
loadstone), attracted the attention of
the curious, and it was discovered that
piece of iron which had been rubbed
with the lodestone acquired the same
power Of attracting iron; in other
words, the piece Of iron became a
magnet 1t was afterward found that
such an iron or artificial magnet could
be used like the lodestone itself to con-
vert other pieces Of iron into magnets
by rubbing. Still more recently,
mode of making magnets by means of
electricity was discovered, that is, by
wrapping piece Of insulated wire
many times around the bar and then
causing a current of electricity to pass
through the wire The familiar small
toy magnets are simply steel bars,
which have been rubber few times
against powerful magnets.-St Nicho-
las.

Women Know How to Laugh.

A critic of mankind observes that
women laugh much more successfully
than men; that is, they know how to
do it agreeably and discreetly, where
as a man merely opens his mouth and
emits huge and usually an unmusical
sound. No man looks his best when
he is laughing heartily A woman, on
the contrary, may, enjoy a joke or a
situation quite as much as he and
laugh just as much, but she manages
to do it, as a rule, without disarrang-
ing her features or ner toilet and
without shifting disagreeably on the
tympanum of other people. The tinls-
lie of feminine laughter Is generally
pleasant to listen to; it sounds well
across water; it floats pleasantly on
the breeze, and though there are ex-
ceptions, they seldom equal in disa-
greeableness the cachinnations of the
opposite sex-New York Tribune.

Slow wrought thee-barb, and edge, and tip
And striding over trunk and brook

Gone is the warrior and his bow;
Gone Is the quarry and the oak;
Gone are the wild, red forest-folk--

Gone all thy world, o arrow head.

A story Of HypnotIsm.

An amusing episode, in which the
chief figure was a hypnotized police
man, is reported from Bloemfontein. A
professor of hypnotism had taken a
vacant shop in which to give ocular
demonstration of his mysterious art,
and his stock in trade included bed,
upon which reposed q man who was
represented to be In a trance. The
crowd that assembled on the opening
day to view the recumbent figure in
cluded a member of the South African
constabulary. This person went with
a skeptical mind, and, seeing the fig
ure move, he at once denounced the
whole business as fraud. The pro-
fessor, not bit disconnected. engaged
him in conversation, and the skeptic
was soon keenly interested in the won
drous tales the man or science was re-
lating.
Suddenly the policeman fell into the
arms of the professor and went
through some very strange antics, one
of which was to arrest the professor
as a dangerous criminal When it
dawned upon the crowd that the man
of law was really hypnotized the joke
was greatly relished. After putting his
victim through few more tricks for
the enjoyment of the other visitors
the professor restored him to his
senses as quickly as he had hypnotized
him. When he realized what had hap
npOod tho pOJiooman IpOlyipp white
and frightened, made hasty exit, and
has not been seen near the shop since.

Study the Birds.

If the children might be educated in
regard to birds much of the prejudice
among farmers would be overcome.
Children are naturally interested in
birds; it is a part of their nature to
watch, to study, and to admire these
little care-free creatures; then they
need instruction-some one, teachers
or parents-to tell them the names
and habits of the different birds.
The children can be interested to
the extent of building bird houses, lit
tie homes for these children of the
woods; when child puts up a bird
house and family Of birds takes up
its residence there, he assumes pro-
tectorate over this family and watches
them so closely that by the time the
small members of the family are full
grown, he knows so much about their
habits and general appearance that he
never mistakes them for other birds.
After this, his interest extends to
other members of the feathered world.
The woodpecker is good subject for
study. He is not shy; you can go
within a few feet of him and not dis
turb him at his work.
1t is the prevailing idea among
farmers that all woodpeckers injure
trees, and many a downy woo1pecker
has lost his life while really doing a
good turn for his slayer. 1t is the sap
sucker who has ruined the reputation
of the downy. 1t is he who makes the
large holes in trees. Do not confuse
him with the downy. If the crown in
stead of the nape be red, the breast
black and the throat cardinal, it is a
sap-sucker.
Many birds suffer for the wrong
doing of other birds; if the farmer OBJ
serves closely he will find out which is
the true criminal. There is really no
bird that the farmer can afford to kill.
They are every one of more or less
economic value to him.
The robin, it is true. eats few
berries, but he also destroys enough
insects to pay for them.
The English sparrow seems 10 be a
useless factor in creation, and yet we
see him always hopping around and
picking UP something from the ground.
So he must be destroying insects, too.
Bugs and worms are our enemies
without doubt. and these little busy
people of the air are helping us all
they can, but because we see them eat
a few cherries or find our tender young
lettuce destroyed POSSIBLY by these
same insects), we get our guns and go
out and kill our best friends.-Farm

The rabbit was very jealous that
his cousin the hare should be king
Of the rodents. And he said TO the
sto2t, one Of the hare's subjects:
Il am surprised that you. with your
superior strength, should submit to
that weakling Of q hare. It would be
so easy for you, IL you tried, to give
him fangs and settle him. Why don't
your
Happy thought" answered the
stoat. Yes Rather think I'll adopt
your suggestion"
So he went, and catching the hare
half asleep killed him with astonishing
ease and proceeded to suck his blood
with great gusto.
Then the rabbit, as the hare's near
est relative among the rodents, trium-
phantly succeeded to the kingdom
But when, in the exercise of his roy
al power, he came to demand submits
sion of the stoat, the latter merely
laughed in his face, inquiring deris-
lively:
"My good animal, when you remind
ed me how much stronger was than
the hare, did it not occur to you that
you we're teaching me a similar fact
of natural history in regard to the
rabbit"
