Cubs Tame FulI-grown Leopards

It was with trepidation that keepers in the Bronx Zoology Park transferred Jack and Jill, two leopard cubs, one day recently, from their cage to one in the lion house which was already occupied by Terror and Savage, two full grown leopards. Terror is big black leopard and Savage is spotted.
 The older animals are unusually fe- rocious and the keepers feared they would bounce upon the cubs and tear them to pieces. Several hundred per. sons gathered in expectation of seeing a fight.
 The cubs were put into z cage on wheels, which was rolled into the lion house. The keepers armed themselves with steel forks and spikes, on the ends of which were sponges saturated with ammonia. Elaborate preparations were made to protect the cubs in case the older animals tried to kill them.
 As the cage was backed up against the one in which Terror and Savage were, the older animals crouched and howled and snarled in most terrify' ing way. The cubs eyed them calmly
 As the doors were opened the cubs rushed into the larger cage and stood facing Terror and Savage. The tails of all four leopards lashed the air fur. iously and the crowd thought that a fight must follow.
 Suddenly Terror made a rush at the cubs. The cubs sprang aside, landed stinging blows with their paws on Ter TOTS head and made the latter sec stars. Savage then attacked the cubs and was treated in . like manner After several futile attempts to claw the cubs the older annmals retired from the fight very much ashamed of themselyes--NewY York World,

A Well Trained Dog

In one of the suburban establish ments that are being temorarily util
 ized as a summer boarding house on the Reading Railroad, there has been con siderable competition as to the privi- lege of occupying one of the hammocks on the lawn. Naturally it is case of first come, first served, and there is accordingly much nasty bolting of meals and hurrying out to the ham mocks, one of which is considerable distance from the house among some trees. Recently it has been noticed that this hammock seemed in some mysterious way to be almost always oc- cupied, though the occupant, whoever he or she was, was wont to vacate on the approach of certain favorite boarder. In the dusk of fthe evening and the dim shadow of the dense woods the identity of the provisional occu- pant could not be discerned, nor would it be known now but for the accidental intrusion of newcomer who was not as yet familiar with the conditions. This person recklessly approached the hammock, raised his hat politely and asked to be excused for the intrusion, when, to his amazement, the head of the hammock s occupant raised, disclos- ing the fact that it was large collie dog, which had evidently been care fully trained for this selfish, though ingenous performance. - Philadelphia Record.

Mining Then and Nov

Twenty or twenty-five years ago men hunted for mines as the explorers of old sought for the golden fleece or the fountains of eternal youth. They ex- pected to mine by their wits. They ex- pected to stumble upon great outerops that only needed to be cracked up with little hammer to make the mine worth millions. Even when good de posit of ore was found the preparation for mining and marketing was often the crudest, and men were discouraged by the petering out of a little pocket or the faulting of vein.
 Only the rich ore was used. Shipping costs were high and processes of redue- ton not nearly so perfect as now. Vast quantities of good but comparatively low grade ore were left untouched in the workings or thrown on the waste dump, and careless smelling sent rich values into the slag pile.
 New districts were examined super. fieially by transient fortune hunters and assessment work was the limit in many cases of the prospecting done A few very rich accidental strikes fired the avariee of the multitude, and moth. ing but solid gold or silver in plain sight presented much temptation to the miner" of those days.
 Now n mineral location is hardly en. titled to be called prospect until al least 1000 feet of development work has been done on 1t. Prospects often do not become mines until millions have been spent. The real miners of today speak of their "little prospect hole" where $750,000 has gone under ground without showing more than [ stain, and where the development of | successful mine is looked for with as much confidence as the coming of to morrow's sun. More money is put into machinery to develop prospect thar used to be spent to equip mine.
 While the rich streaks are valued highly, it is now large bodies of com paratively low grade ore that are mos sought; these make the dividend paying mines and the substantial properties The extent of the ore body rather thar the richness of the assay in selecte, portions determines the value of tn, mine, and companies will pass by ricl but comparatively meager bodies to g deep for the big bodies of ore believe, to lie below.

CIRCUMSTANCES ALTER CASES

First Assistant Postmaster General Hitchcock has left Washington for the west on what the politicians describe as an "'inspeetion and missionary tour." He will, of course, visit few postofiices, but, as on his trip a short time since through the south, he will no doubt "feel the pulse of the people v and set up a few pins for Secretary Taft as a candidate for the presidential nomination.
 This combination of official and polit- ical work may be all right, but we wonder what the Republican newspa- pers would have said if one of Grover Cleveland s important officials had gone on a similar mission in the interest of a member of his cabinet whom he wished to have nominated as his sue cessor9 Would not the vials of virtu- ous indignation have been opened tC brand as with caustie this use cf a government official as political agent And would not President Cleveland have been denounced as dangerous autocrat seeking to procure a perpetu ation of his dynasty and a continuation of his polieiesl

WHO MAKES THE PLATFoRM7

It is semi-offieially announced that MT. William J. Bryan is an active can diglate for president of the United States. This is no surprise to those who undertook to interpret MT Bry- an s attempted flight from the Madison Square Garden speech. That recanta- ton was equivalent to the announce ment of his eandidature for the Demo- cratic nomination for president. It was the first time MT. Bryan had run away from his own preachment. He is now willing to allow the party to declare what it believes, and in the Commoner he asserts that government ownership is not an issue.
 But MT. Bryan has not said, and will not say, that government regula- ton is adequate to fetch relief. He is as firm believer in government owner ship as ever, and his darling ambition is to bring his party to his view of that question.
 The Democratic party has had expert ence enough to know that the candidate is the platform, whatever the conven- tion may declare, and the party must tote whatever the candidate believes. MT. Bryan believes in 16 to 1. He be- lieves in government ownership. He believes in the initiative and referen- dunn. Unless the party would be spon- sor for all these it must get another leader. If it should be silent as to them, and nominate a candidate who believes in them, then they are the issue, and the campaign will be fought on them. The veriest political tyro knows that.
 If Mir. Bryan were president, believ. ing as he does that government regula. tion is no adequate cure of the trans. portation evil, would he be content to rely upon it for remedyl What would we think of a physician who would ad minister physic to patient when he had no faith in the prescription But Mir. Bryan has remedy that he be lieves efieaious-government owner ship. Where is the man who does not know that he would consistently seek opportunity to try itl
 A statesman may create an issue by wave of the wand, but he cannot cause it to vanish by another wave MT. Bryan stands for government own ership and his nomination will eommi his party to that policy. The Whis party had the sagacity to deny it's idol Henry Clay, the nomination in 1s4t and in 1S48, and the result both time was victory.
 The Democratic party has until th summer solstiee of 1908 to reflect an, determine whether it will stand fo government ownership and the initia tive and referendum in the next grea battle of ballots.--W Washington Post.

JAPANESE ESCAPE
 0N WAY ID COAST
Three of Party of Over Hundred on
 Way to Deportation Break Bars on
 Gar and Make Their Get-away-The Guards Unable to Find Trace of Them

Three Japanese prisoners out of a party of 109, part of whom were export ed from Tucson on Monday escaped from train No. 9 yesterday morning, somewhere east of Yuma. The prison CTS were all Japs and were being taken to San Francisco for deportation. They were in charge of H. w. Hammond and twelve guards.
 The two who escaped were not missed until the train had gone some distance west of Yum. One of the guards, a Mir. Johnstone, left the train at lmper' ial and informed Immigration Inspector Brazie of the case, and they spent the day in trying to locate the men, but without success. The Indian police, railroad watehmen and deputy sheriffs were all notified and are on the look out. and it is safe to say that they cannot pass through Yuma without be- ing apprehended.
 It is the opinion of the officers at Yuma that .the Japs escaped some l25 miles east of that place, for the reason that railroad men running into Yuma report that no Japs were seen by them between Gila and Yuma, and when the train arrived here the bars were torn from the windows, showing that the men had jumped through it. As the train made no stop between Wellton and Yuma it is believed that tho pris- oners made their escape at Wellton or some point further east, because it would be impossible for them to jump through the window while the train was in motion and live to tell the tale Mir. Johnstone does not venture an opin- ion as to the point of escape, as he was in another ear when the aliens bid their captors adios.

A National Menace.

1t is beginning to appear that this Black
Hand enterprise Is in truth organized upon
a national basis. and Is not, as at one
time was broadly suspected, only a scat
tering of independent gangs of assassins.
As is usual in such matters, public
Imagination ran beyond the facts, and
every italian quarrel become a Black
Hand demonstration, every crime of pas
sion a Black Hand assassination every
highway robbery a Black Hand outrage.
1t is now well proved that the Black
Hand society. though by no means re-
sponsible for all the crimes that have
been attributed to 1t, Is nevertheless an
organized system of extortion and killing,
a blackmail conspiracy Of f~ar-reaching
effect and deadly, serious purpose.
The hope is that the Pittsburg raid will
bring te light facts sufficient to enable
the police to destroy this society, root and
branch, to send to prison all who a
be caught in addition to those now cap
tured, or to drive permanently out of the
country those who escape. For the or
ganization has become a national menace
even though for the present the victims
are chiefly Italians of s.-Washington

USE FOR A STATE SURPLUS.

Virginia has a comfortable treasury
surplus of 81, 100000, with all bills paid,
and the State is going to devote this
surplus largely to the public schools
and to public road Improvements. New
Jersey has been doing the same thing
for a number of years. About a mil
lion dollars a year has been appropriate
ed out Of the State surplus for the pub
lie schools and a quarter of a million
for improved highways.
Our State surplus has been consider
ably reduced in the last two years, and
If the decision of the Court of Errors
and Appeals in the railroad tax cases
should go against the State it will prob
ably be wiped out. There appears,
however, to be little danger of that.
Our schools and highways will doubt
less continue to receive the benefit Of
large State appropriations, and the sys-
tenn of railroad taxation now in vogue
viii insure a steady income for the
State without resorting to a direct
State tax.

A FIGHT.

AS the so-called Ripper is to be
attacked in the courts to obtain a
judicial decision in its constitutionality
the Pagan program for opening the
contest is probably as good a way as
any, provided the contestants keep
strictly to the arrangement. This is
that the Pagan appointees shall 'tech-
~nically' hold on to their jobs, politely
refusing to yield to the un-
der the Wittpenn administration, but In
reality yielding to the extent of not at
tempting to interfere with the new APP
polntees performing the actual duties
of their claimed offices in the various
departments. They are pledged mot to
embarrass the city's business"
Quite a gentlemanly fight, 1t will be seen
no slugging, but merely formal blows,
according to the rules of polite legal
battles. Let us hope that no party Il
the contest will break faith and indulge
intrough-and-tumble May the fight be
as bloodless as a French duel, anc

After his blatant speech in the Sem
ate on the trusts, extravaganza and
every grievance in general and in par
tieular, including his attack on the
cost to the nation of maintaining the
President and his family, the news of
the name in which he has been look
ing after his own ought to give even
JEFF Davis's Arkansas constituents
and admirers something of a shock.
The very new and virtuous Senator
declared that he could support his FAM
lily of eight children without calling
on the treasury for $1,000 a year. Let
us hope so, but in addition to his own
modest stipend as a Senator in Con-
gress of $500 a year, Mr.. Davis went
fresh from his %speechifying and, being
entitled to one clerk" and one ia
borer." appointed a daughter to each
of the positions. There might have
been nothing thought of this, except.
perhaps, the naming of a young girl
a "Iaborer.'' if it had not been for his
bcasted Spartan virtue. Let him en-
joy the fruits of nepotism and may
the girls perform good service for pay.
but let him not keep up his preaching

JOHN MrrcHEIrs REFINEMENT.

With the election of a new president
OF the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, John Mitchell, who achieved ma
tional fame by the wisdom and
courage and integrity with which he
administered the affairs of the mine
workers, retire7 to private life. No
labor leader in this country, except
Chief Arthur, of the Locomotive Engi-
neers, is held in the respect that Is
universally felt for John Mitchell. His
management of the great coal strike in
1908 was a splendid piece of general
ship. He a to combat not only the
confederated and naughty coal barons,
but also the lawless spirit aroused in
his own organization. And he did it
well.
John Mitchell is a natural leader OF
men. He knew how to prepare the
mine workers organization for the
struggle before it was begun, and he
knew also that victory could be OBJ
tanned only by compromise and conces-
sion. 1t was due to John Mitchell alone
that the country was saved the spec
tacle of a bloody struggle in the coal
regions, with wide destruction of prop
erty, great suffering and perhaps a ma
tional calamity. +.

THE NEXT CENSUS.

In 1910 there will be taken the thir-
teenth decennial census since the Con-
stitution was established. This CEN
sus is important, both politically and
sociologically. Politically, it will form
the basis for the Encouragement of
Congressional districts in the various
states. In its sociological aspect it will
show a rate of increase In population,
from which it should not be difficult
to draw inferences in regard to race
suicide, immigration, conditions of
commerce and other matters of vital
concerns The rate of increase in pop
ulation did not begin to decline until
the census of 1870. In 1890. there was
another slight decline and for the next
ten years the rate fell a little lower.
It is thought the population in 1910
will be. something over 1900, 900 people.
which would mean a slightly decreased
rate of increase of about 20 per cent.

An imported plan to evade the excise
laws and afford everybody the opportu-
nifty for a drink is exploited by the
Hudson Observer. 1t is to be put in
operation by an incorporated company.
Any company for any purpose not
downright criminal can be incorporated
in New Jersey. This proposed COM
pany is to import trained st. Bernard
dogs, which are to be sent out with
little kegs attached to their collars. the
kegs being fitted with automatic slots
into which the wayfarer can drop a
dime and secure its value in whiskey.
The scheme seems feasible. Dogs are
not amenable to the excise laws, and no
se~lf-respecting policeman would think
of arresting a canine of any degree.
