The Referees.

1t is said that the president has
determined to abandon his policy
of having referees in the southern
states to advise him what to do e.
bout appointing officers aud other
things in these states. The infer
ence that naturally presents itself
is that he has not found the prac-
tice to pay and that he is not salts
fed with its workings. We have
watched as we'll as we could from
our view point the way that it has
been worked in Mississippi and our
conclusion is that the president has
worsted both himself and his party
by relying upon his remarkable
plan to strengthen himself with eur
people. In the selection of Q man
Friday for the state he was unfort-
innate in his judgment and fell up
on n where fitness for the deli
cate responsibilities incident to the
position vas measured by obnox-
ious antecedents and repulsive per
sonality. The individual perform
ance of Roosevelt in his manage
ment of Mississippi affairs show a
record full of blunders. II he was
led into these by his referee, which
is likely to havo been the case, his
hind sights must be clearer than
his fore sights and he should profit
by his experience The result Of
the recent election clearly demon
strated the extent Of his referee in
tiuence with our people. Il may
be that the lesson thus taught him
may have been an important factor
in leading him to his present con-
clusion.
We are glad that the experiment
of delegating to a lot of discredited
and self seeking democrats the
functions which the president him
self should perform has come to
grief. 1t were far better for the
democratic party that there should
net exist a set of hybrids empow-
cred to select disaffected and dis
reputable Office seekers to receive
republican favors. A spy in camp
car spread treason throughout the
whole army. AS for us we believe
that the spoils should belong to the
victors. When we have to take
medicine we want to swallow the
pure and unadulterated drug

Whnt SINCERITY Is.

Love contains no complete and last
ing happiness save in the transparent
atmosphere OF perfect sincerity. To
the point of this sincerity love is but
an experiment We live In expectation.
mud our words and kisses are only pro-
vislonal. But sincerity is NOT possible
except between lofty and trained con.
sciences. Moreover, 1t is not enough
that these conscicnccs should be such.
This is requisite besides, II sincerity is
to become natural and essential--that
the consclenccs shall be almost equal,
Of the same extent, the same quality,
and that the love that unltcs them shall
be deep laid. And thus 1t is that the
lives of so many men glide away who
never meet the soul with which they
could have been sincere.
But 1t is impossible to be sincere
with others before learning to be sin
cere toward oneself. Sincerity is only
the consciousness and analysis Of the
motives Of oil LIES actions. 1t Is the
expression Of this consciousness that
one Is able later to lay before the eyes
Of the being with whom he Is seeking
the happiness Of sincerity. = Maurice
Maeterlinck in Century.

Taste In Animals.

Many experiments have been made
In order to find out what and where
the organ Of taste Is In the lower ere
atoms, but 1t is easier to say where it
Is not. Crawfish and worms seem to
have decided preferences In the matter
Of food, though no special taste organ
has been found. HOLSTERS like decay
ing food; the crab Is more dainty in It's
diet.
Snails and slugs show a decided
preference for certain kinds Of food,
rs garden lovers know to their cost.
Peas and cabbages, dahlias and sun.
flowers are great favorites, but they
will not touch the white mustard.
Some prefer animal food, especially
