Anolent and Modern snorts.

From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The suppression Of bull fights IN Spain
on Sunday has practically ruined that
sport IN the land where 1t has so long
been king. It's passing marks the death
OF one OF the last rudimentary surviv-
ais of the Old Roman arena.
Sports of a cruel nature are the herit-
age of barbarism, a condition from
which civilization was evolved. The
ancient Romans found no delight in
mere contest. Daring feats that risk
ed life simply served to whet the appe-
tite for the savage exhibition 10 fol-
low. Gladiators went into the arena
to fight wild beasts. Victims were sac
rificed on the horns OF mad bulls.
Strong men and gentle women were put
to death wantonly and cruelty for the
entertainment OF the multitude. When
the Romans came to occupy Spain they
built their national amphitheatres there
and introduced Roman sports. When
the slaughter of slaves and prisoners
ceased lions and other fierce animals
battled there with armed men trained
TO fight them and their kind. The bull
and the professional bun fighter came
next. And now they, too, are passing.

The Song of the Coyote.

TIC 2oHI " AiN OAlNANf
When the nights are long
1 howl a song
O'er the dear Nebraska plains,
And the wind. it speeds my refrain
along
Which begins when daylight wanes.
'Tis a song forlorn
/ sing till morn
OF days that have passed away;
For the wild ones have fed and left
me alone
To tune my mournful lay.
Oh. list TO tho chorus lonesome sound
AS It drifts down some far hlllsidel
From my lair with no living thing
around.
! sing to my friends who have died.
Then I journey forth on my nightly
quest
But stop ofttimes on the plain
10 howl TO the stars and the moon in
tile west
The same old sad refrain.
MY song begins IN childish trln.
Ana ends with a long-drawn wall.
stIl.
There come echoes from cliff and dale.
It's heartweary song that 1 sing al
way.
Full Of pent-up grief and woe:
A song for the friends Of yesterday.
And the times Of long ago.

THE New York sun is happy in in
4 terpreting the late election as a
result to which both parties contrib
uted. in other words. the Republican
electoral ticket received not only tho
support Of all Republicans, but like
wise Of great number of persons who
have hitherto been afhliated with the
Democratic party.
The effect of this might be over as
surance on the part Of the party in
power or it may resultin lmpressing
that party with its vast responsibility
and thus sober and steady It's lead
ers.
But signs are not wanting to prove
that it is generally regarded as a result
that is broader than partisanship. The
Democratic papers are already dis
cussing policies and are giving advice
in a tone which suggests that they feel
that their interest is proper. and that
they have a right to participate in the
great movement for a greater Ameri-
canism.
And they are right we need greater
breadth and less partisan narrowness
We need spirit which win not refei
all questions to partisanship and re-
solve all measures into sectional ad-
vantage. but one which will discuss
measures on their own merits.
We hope that the new Congress viii
show the popular feeling, and realizing
the spirit Of the verdict viii treat the
tariff and other questions as matters
OF economies and Of craftsmanship.
Our own Legislature would do well to
recognize this sentiment and devote
its attention TO considering simply
what is good for the State and all OF
her people.

From the Baltimore American.
Tho determination Of the government
to detail army surgeons for observation
duty with the armies in the East is an
eminently wise one. War is a terrible
scourge, but important lessons are to
be derived from It. However much the
people may hope for perpetual peace or
expect a decline in the number Of wars,
they know that 1t VIII be a long time
before their hopes can be even partially
realized, and meanwhile no precautions
should be neglected that promise to
mitigate the evils of warfare. The line
officers Of the United States army were
detailed at the beginning OF the war
for observation duty with the opposing
forces in the East, and after an un-
usually fun experience they have re-
turned and made their reports. That
they have something to tell OF vast i'm
portanoe goes without saying. War be-
tween mighty armies with the latest
improved weapons is a novelty involv-
ing new military problems. and when
these reports are made public they
will doubtless clear up some things
connected with the fighting witch have
hitherto been mysteries

Heavy, heavy. what hangs over?" is
a game played by children and one that
is greatly enjoyed by the little folk.
This may apply. Several months ago

structed a large transparency in front

L. Fell & Son. as a flour and feed store.
Upon this banner were stamped the
pictures Of Roosevelt and Fairbanks
ana below were left spaces for names OF
State officers, said names to be insert
ed as soon as harmony" prevailed, as
the club members did not propose to be
placed on record as favoring any cam
didate who was not strictly harmonious.
Now the election is over, each name on
the transparency having been carried
Ito victory, the banner has been disjoint-
ed and taken down. But strange to say
a few days after the transparency was
removed 1t became necessary to tear
out and rebuild the entire front of the
store and people are wondering IL the
lndecislon of the members of the club
as to whom they should select as candi-
dates was so weighty as to shake the

Desiring to travel incos, and keep his
identy "a secret, physician in the employ
of the state, living near Wilmington. was
badly Jared by his wife several times
durig a visit TO 81. Louis this month. At
the boarding house where they stopped
there was a long table at which many
people from various States were taking
their meals. When his wife addressed him
as "Dr" It would generally cause those
assembled to turn around to see who the
physician was. After one of the meals the
doctor said to his wife; Don't call me
doctor. Drop it and address me as Will
liam"
When everything was quiet at the table
the next day the physician nearly fell
from his chair by hearing his wife ask:
Senator will you kindly pass the
saladr'
After they were outside no again en-
treated her TO spare him, but at another

STEALING A LOAF OF BREAD.

IT'D JAIL for stealing a loaf Of bread"
i reminds one OF Jean Vatican, and
when our court sentenced a man for
this onense the other day the very
mention OF the crime and its punish
ment caused a feeling Of sympathy to
stir IN many bosoms, Joined with a
feeling that the punishment I'm view Of
the mans necessity was too severe.
But II appears that this pity was
wasted. as the offender was engaged in
the wholesale removal of bread and
milk from the doorsteps OF household
ers. Yet had that not been true, II is
yet a fact that IN Wilmington there Is
no necessity for anyone TO steal bread
There are very few persons who cam
not secure employment that win supply
their actual needs and the sick and
unfortunate who are worthy can be
taken care or When one sees beg
gars on the streets and hears all sorts
Of piuful appeals from those who are
amlcted, he is apt to imagine there is
more destitution than there really is.
Most Of the money given to such per-
sons goes for cheap whlskey, and does
injury rather than good.
We would not discourage charity,
heaven forbid but the public doles out
thousands of dollars every year to inn
posters and then has neither sympathy
nor money for the worthy. There are
appeals to each Of us that we know to
be genuine and beyond this our aims
should 90 TO those charities which are
organized and which are able TO inves-
tlgate more thoroughly than the in
dividual possibly can.
Yet after all, those most entitled to
our pity and our help are those who
suffer hardships in silence, too proud
to accept charity These are more
numerous perhaps, than the other
kind. But there are ways Of helping
them, and although 1t requires tact, yet
those who open their hearts and their
purses TO these. have their reward in
the knowledge that their efforts do not
go for naught.
