ECCENERICITIES
OF A SAINT

The famous fakir, Bawa Moni Sahib
the Silent Saint), during his long 80
years s%ojourn at Mirpur never uttered
a single word which could be under
stood by any one around him. What
wonderous tongues he spoke no man
knows.
Every day hundreds of pious people,
men and women, hocked around him
to pay homage and alteration. Since
his boyhood, it is said, he had lived
starh naked, resolutely disdaniing
even a loin cloth. He abode in a pub
lie lane which was always full of busy
people, yet he moved as he listed in
his sacred nudity, neither ashamed nor
causing shame.
His age was well over a hundred
years. The saint nevertouched gifts,
indeed he meekly spurned them. A
devoted Sikh priest looked tenderly
after him and gave him morsels OF
food with his own hands. For days,
however, he would refuse to partake
Of food.
The corpse, after being taken around
the city, followed by horses and pal
a%nquins fifty caprisoned for so grand
q burden, was buried. The c%oncourso

Political Parties are on
The Same Old Battle Ground

AS the time for lining up of the
two great political parties draws near
er, it becomes apparent that the chief
issue this year is to be the old, old
issue of the tariff
Even here the lines are not drawn
publicans admit that the tariff should
be revised, but hold hat the revision
should be made by the friends of pro-
lection. The Democrats hold that the
revision should be made, not by the
friends of protection, but by the
friends of the people, that protection
is a mere incident and that revenue
for the support of the government
should be the first consideration.
This will come near to throwing the
fight back to the old party line of a
tariff for protection against a tariff
for revenue.
All the other questions that have di-
vided the parties in recent campaigns
will be largely eliminated. There will
be little talk of the free coinage Of
silver as in 1896; there will be ! title
talk of the Philippines as in 1900;
1904.
There will be discussion of all these
there will be little talk as to the con
troll of the great corporations as in
issues, it is true, but it will be incl
dental. AS between Democrats and Re-
publIcans there is no real division
now on any one of the questions that
were paramount in the last three ma
tional campaigns.
The fight for supremacy this year
will be over the tariff and relative
powers of the State and national gov
ernments, the Democrats leaning to-
wards free trade and State rights,
the Republicans leaning towards pro
lection and a strong national gov
eminent.
When one c ONES to think of it, this
will throw the battle very close to the
ground occupied by Alexander Hamil-
ton and Thomas Jefferson over a hun
bred years ago.
