The Denver convention delib.
erately and with malice afore
thought handed out a cool insult
to Judge Parker, the man who
led forlorn hope for his party
four years ago, when it declined
to permit him to present resolu-
tions commendatory of the late
Grover Cleveland. In an un.
guarded moment, a few short
weeks ago, the judge emitted a
remark that he'd be blanked if
he'd go to a ratification meeting
at Denver. This coming to the
ears of the Peerless Nebraskan,
caused him to issue orders for
the macerating of Parker. Par
ker was duly macerated, not
only that, his mangled remains
were pounded clear into the soil.
He's no one but himself to blame
for his rashness.

New York Tribune.-King Edwards
present Of a goldmounted malacca
cane to Winston Churchill reminds a
writer in the Dundee Advertise: that
his majesty is a great connoisseur in
walking sticks and possesses a fine
collection both at Buckingham palace
and Windsor Among them is one
especially made for him by the late
Sir George Dibbs, who acquired un-
usual skill In the construction or
sticks, pipes, dolls and other things
while serving a period OF detention
in Australia for contempt Of court.
This particular stick is made from
rare wood found in the "Never-Never'
region known as Ringijji. Perhaps.
however, the most historic stick In
the royal collection is one fashioned
out of a branch of the Boscobel oak
into which Charles III. climbed to es-
cape Cromwell's men at the close Of
the battle of Worcester. Queen Vic
toria, during the later days of her
life always made use of this stick.
and in place of the round mob she
had a small Indian idol from Seringa-
patam mounted as handle.

with the opinion of every American in
the Philippines; of whatever party,
that democratic principles of govern
ment have to be considerably modi-
fed when the people to be governed
have the racial qualities. traditions
and history of the Filipinos. The
Philippine archipelago is not the
United States with a few centuries
leeway to make up. The fact that
the talk of independence bears a GER
tain resemblance to the discussion
preceding our war of independence is
apt to mislead. l am compelled to
say that there is nothing of the spirit
of trustwdrthiness necessary for
people. False ideas
and false ideals have been incor-
pOrated into their character. Mutual
respect and confidence are lacking,
as are also spirit of order and the
idea of equality before the law of all
the citizens. The governing Filipinos
have the defects of most OrientaIs

NEWEST BABY IN

DR.. ATKINSON DWELLs ON THE
PHILIPPINES. CLIMATE
ENERVATING.
NATIVES ARE NDOLENT-EPL.
DENIES PREVALENT-TR
CHARACTERISTICS.

Brooklyn Eagle.-Dr. Frederick w.
Atkinson, president of the Polytech-
mic Institute, was the guest of the
Church club of the diocese of Long
island at its club rooms, last night.
and he delivered an interesting and
instructive paper on the Philippines.
The members of the club turned out
in force to listen to DR.. Atkinson.
who was member Of the Taft COM
mission, appointed by President
Mckinley, and he was nearly three
years in the Philippines, from June.
1900.
President Davis introduced the
speaker who was listened to with
close attention and was frequently APP
plauded.
Our Philippine country is the new
est baby in our political family said
DR.. Atkinson in opening we didn't
expect him, but we have him. We
don't like his complexion or his
features, but he may outgrow them.
He hasn't always been a good baby
and We lost a lot Of sleep on his ac-
count. He's been a costly mortal,
but that is not unusual 1t will be
long time before he will be able TO
add anything to the family treasury.
After ALL those Of us who have had
TO care for him have begun to like
him Just little and look forward to
he time when We may take paternaI
pride in his achievements.
Dr.. Atkinson then discussed in an
able way the area and physical as
pect of that far off part of the United
States declaring that the reason for
the stationary condition of the Phil
ippine civilization was because of the
insuIar and mountainous character Of
the country. which also made, he
said, the phililogical and political
differences so marked.
Philippine climate is so enervat-
ing, he continued. TO this fact is
due, in part the Incidence of the ma
tive. The temperature of the Philip
pine islands is high and uniform and
its atmosphere is generally loaded
with moisture They are covered
with a luXuriant vegetation and are
subject to earthquakes. Certain
other geographical facts should be
borne in mind-the great distance of
II 600 miles from the home govern
ment, the external water area under
Philippine jurisdiction, the lack of
adequate land and inter-island com
municatiOn, the prevalence of cpl
denies, destroying man and beast,
and tn occurrence Of typhoons and
tornadoes destructive to shipping and
disastrous to crops. We have in the
Philippines not a homogeneous PEG
Pile, but a heterogeneous array of
some 60 or so tribes"
The speaker told in detail the diff
ferences between the tribes and ex-
planned their characteristics before
taking up the question of self govern
ment to discuss. Upon this, he said
that there is nothing in their origin,
history or present condition to sug-
gest the idea of political cohesion or
national fusion. A description of the
home life of the natives was also an
interesting part of DR.. Atkinson's ad-
dress This home life he showed was
extremely primitive, the members of
a family eating with their fingers
from a common dish and sleeping to-
gether in one room in house of ex-

One day. when the animals of the for
est were at peace with each other and
contentment reigned, the Bear met the
Buffalo and observed:
The Tiger was telling me a very curl
GUS thing yesterday. He said that when
we laid down to sleep our feet went to
sleep first. What do you think Of it?'
I'm, don't believe it" was the reply.
But it may be so.
And it may not be so. I'm not going
to accept any such thing simply because
the Tiger says So
We'll, let's ask the Elephant
The Elephant was asked TO give his
opinion, and after thinking it over for
a spell he said:
q think the Tiger is wrong. / think
the head goes to sleep first l am quite
sure that mine does.
The Bear wasn't satisfied with this de-
cision and demanded chat other animals
be heard. II thus came about that the
Zebra the Rhinoceros, the Buck, the Dog
and most every other animal inhabiting
the forest was drawn into the argument
1t soon ceased TO be an argument and
