CURRENT. COMMENT.

The Chattanooga Times (Dem.) says:
1.-The only serious thing about the
Hearst boom is that some very sensi
BILE and thoughtful Democratic news
papers appear to be taking it seriously
We do not believe the young man has
got money enough to buy the democ-
racy, and that's what he would have to
do to get the nomination"
The Charleston Post (Dem.) says:
Hanna says he is not a candidate for
President and he wants people TO be-
lieve him. They do, in the sense that
politicians take such statements
Roosevelt has declared that he is not a
candidate. Nobody is candidate for
the Presidency until he is nominated
by great party, except Willie Hearst,
perhaps. And anyway this is leap year
and no man need offer himself to be-
come engaged. The Republican party
may propose to Hanna and he could
hardly refuse after all that it has done
for him."
The Birmingham News (Dem.) says:
''The Jefferson county Democratic Ex-
ecutve Committee acted wisely in
passing a resolution recommending to
the state convention that delegates to
the national convention should not be
instructed. 1t is beyond human acu-
men to foresee the situation that nay
develop on the floor of the convention
Perhaps some man not now under con-
sideration may forge to the front and
it be apparent to almost everyone that
he would make the strongest race. 1t
bodies well for the party that a spirit
lof conserva aism is permeating it's
membership. That spirit manifested
in the national convention cannot
otherwise than result in a ticket that
will appeal alike to the patriotism and
intelligence of the nation. 1t is to be
hoped that not only Alabama but the
other Southern states also will send
uninstructed delegations, who will be
eager and free to make the wlsest Sc
lection as it appears to them at the
time"

rInred a Jol1e ON a Hawk.

Hawks writes the author of "Trav-
els in Treetop," have an unusual
amount Of curiosity. They are trap
ped, he says, almost as often through
their curiosity as through their fear
Sometimes in winter, when there is
little to attract their attention, an
undated trap, if of new shape or
variety, is quite as likely to land a
victim as if it held a most appetizing
mouse.
Once a trick was played upon a
splendid black hawk that had been
mousing over the fields for half the
winter 1t often perched upon straw
stack, instead of in the center of the
field. Early one morning a plump
meadow mouse, with an inflated blad-
der attached to it by a string, was
placed on the top of the stack The
bladder and cord were concealed by
the straw. The hawk was apparently
a little suspicious when he first no.
ticed the mouse. He was not used to
seeing a mouse remain perfectly still
in that way, especially when he be-
gan to circle about with his great
black wings close down to the stack.
Presently he alighted in a wary way
on one end of the stack; then he walk
ed nearer, eyed the mouse sharply, and
peCked at IL. AT last ne seized 1t in
his talons and made off for the hick-
ory. Halfway there, however, he no
ticed the bladder attached, and gave
the mouse a violent jerk to free it
from the bladder appendage. This
only served to make the bladder bob
up and down more furiously, and with
a scream of terror the hawk dropped
the mouse and all and fled to the
woods. 1t was some time before he
was again seen in the neighborhood
of the straw stack.

According to DIR. Herran, the Colom-
bian minister. the story that was pub
lished in New York last Sunday to the
effect that the Panama revolution was
a stock jobbing operation promoted by
q syndicate of Paris and New York
stockbrokers, is an old one, having
been published in Paris at least three
weeks ago. The story was in effect
that this syndicate brought about the
revolution in Panama for the express
purpose of causing an advance in the
price of the shares of the Panama Ca
nal Company. One of the chief figures
in the scheme was Mr.. Philippe Bu-
nau Varillia, who was the first minis
ter of Panama to this country. He
agreed to see to it that the United
States would recognize the new repub-
lie and prevent the Colombians from
attempting to recover possession of the
seeding territory.
There is no doubt that the shares of
the Panama Canal Company did ad-
vance. 1t is estimated that those who
speculated' in them on account Of the
Panama revolution made about $4,000
900. According to DR.. Herrsn, however,
the revolution was not the thought of a
syndicate of Paris and New York brok-
ers. 1t originated with people on the
isthmus, and took shape as soon as it
became apparent to them that the Hay
HerIan treaty wouldn't be ratified by
the Colombian senate.
DIR. Herran says that the representa-
tives of the revolutionists never had an
interview with Secretary Hay in re-
spect to the proposed revolution and
that the United States gave neither as
sistance nor encouragement to the rev.
olutionists 1t is probable that if they
had DR.. Herran would know it. He is
on the lookout for evidence against the
United States in the Panama affair
Nothing would please Colombia better
than to have proof that the United
States government stirred up the rev.
olution on the isthmus and gave the
revolutionists to understand that they
would be protected in setting up a
government of their own.
OF course the story that a syndicate
of brokers originated the revolution
for stock jobbing purposes is a sensa-
tional one. 1t won't bear investigation.
There are some facts woven into it,
and there are many doubtless who be-
lieve it, but it won't have long life.
What the Colombian minister says
about it stamps it as a fabrication. 1t
is probable that the President didn't
greatly regret the revolution because
it gave him an opportunity to get the
concessions that were needed for the
building of the canal. His mistake was
in being too hasty in recognizing the
new republic and in taking a position
that amounted to warning to the Co.
lombianS to keep off the isthmus

TENDING TOWARps ROME.

1t was a forgone conclusion that DR..
Briggs wouldn't be satisfied in the
Episcopal Church. He isn't going TO
be satisfied anywhere, for there seems
some ground for thinking that he is
unsettled in his beliefs. He didn't find
in the Presbyterian Church what sat-
isfied him. and so he got out of it,
after he was practically notified that
his company was not wanted. That
was in 1898, after he had been acquit-
ted of charges of heresy by the New
York Presbytery.
His attack on the Episcopal Church.
to which he now belongs, is the sub
jeet of great deal of comment. The
attack was made in a paper read before
the Church Club.
In that paper he was understood to
say that apostolic succession hung by
a slender thread: that in point of uni
versatility the Church of Rome had al
most the only claim worth considering
that the Pope was right, in the main,
when he asserted that Anglican orders
were invalid from the Roman point of
view" He affirmed the validity of
Presbyterian and Lutheran orders.
Naturally the Episcopalians feel that
he is out of place in their church.
They are saying-at least some of them
are--that he is on his way to the
Church of Rome. Evidently he has a
higher opinion of that church and of
the Presbyterian and Lutheran
Churches than of the Episcopal Church.
Bishop Potter has the paper which he
read at the Church Club but it is hard
ly probable that he will take any ac-
tion in regard to it. Still eminent
Episcopalians are saying there is plen-
ty of room for him outside of then
church. The indications are that there
is no need to hurry his departure. lie
will get out of that church in the near
future. Just where he will find a lodge

The Southern Pacific Railway is hav-
ing trouble with it's Lucien Cut-off,
across the northern end of Great Salt
Lake. The CUTOFF crosses the lake on
a trestle of more than seventeen miles.
In the center of the trestle the lake
bottom is very treacherous. There
seems to be no solid bottom anywhere
within reach. Piling was sunk into the
mud to a depth that the engineers
thought would be sufficient to enable
it to sustain almost any weight it
would be required to hold; and for a
time it did hold rigidly the heavy
trains that passed over it. But last
week a large span began to sink. and
now the track for zoe feet has sagged
so much as to render it useless. VIII en-
the cutoff was first projected it was
estimated that it would cost $4,000, 900;
the engineers now say that if the rail-
road company gets through with 1t at
a cost Of $4,000. 900 it will be fortunate.

Twelve Ahead of the Game.

This story was told at a recent
meeting of a medical society in this
city, according to the New York Mail
and Express.
A physician practicing in one of the
smaller cities up the state was aroused
at midnight by an inebriated indi-
vidual who insisted that the man of
medicine accompany him Immediately
to his home, three miles back in the
country.
Serious case, Doc said the caller.
''Mush come 'mejtly."
The physician protested that his
man was absent and there was no
one on the premises who was able to
hitch up the horse.
=" Sail right" said the insistent one.
"Tll hich IN in shiffy. Showmeem."
You understand, of course" warm
ed the doctor, that while my charge
for a call in that district is a dollar
in the daytime, I'll have to charge
you two dollars for going out there at
this time of the night"
For answer the caller placed a two
dollar bill in the doctors hand.
They went out to the barn, the
stranger hooked the horse up in no
time at all and they set out for the
back country at good pace. arrived
there, Sawbones asked to see the pa
tient. The inebriated one tumbled out
of the buggy and leered at the other
as he said:
I'm re only patien'. Tell yer how

The power of a song is something
wonderful at times, says the Pitts
burg Gazette. This is well illustrated
by a story, and true one, told not
long ago:
. Two Americans who were crossing
the Atlantic met in the cabin on Sum
day night to sing hymns. AS they
sang the last hymn, Jesus, Lover of
My Soul" one of them heard an ex-
ceedingly rich and beautiful voice be-
hind him. He looked around, and, all
though he did not known the face, ne
thought that he knew the voice. So
when the music ceased he turned. and
asked the man if he had been. in the
Civil War. The man replied that he
had been a Confederate soldier.
Were you at such a place on such
a night?" asked the first.
Yes" he repuied, "and a curious
thing happened that night which this
hymn has recalled to my mind. l was
posted on sentry duty near the edge OF
wood. 1t was a dark night and
very cold, and was little frightened
because the enemy was supposed to
be very near. About midnight, when
everything was very still, and 1 was
feeling homesick and miserable and
weary, L thought that 1 would COM
fort myself by praying and singing a
hymn. remember singing this hymn:
''All my trust on Three is stayed,
All my help from Three I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy Wing.
AFTER singing that a strange peace
came down upon me, and through the
long night / felt no more fear"
NOW" said the other, listen to my
story. / was a Union soldier and was
in the woods that night with party
of scouts. l saw you standing, al
though 1 did not see your face. My
men had their rifles focused upon
you, waiting the word to fire, but
when you sang out:
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy Wing.
1 said: Boys, lower your rifles; we
will go home"
