Cardinal Against "Seuttle" Policy.

Cardinal Gibbons suggests that be-
fore changing our Philippine policy the
incoming President-with the authori-
zation of Congress-should appoint a
commission to investigate conditions ir
the archipelago. From the observations
of its members Judgment could be
formed as to when the Filipinos would
possess sufficient education and intelli.

The Cardinal warns the government
that to hold out a promise to, them
which We could not keep would be
quite as bad as shirking our obliga-
tions toward them. His eminence

Judge of the situation are a unit in

the chance to observe conditions in
closest proximity declare, one and all,

Embassy at Pekin, who arrived on the
Chiyo Maru to-day.
According to fellow passengers. the
baron formed his views on the voyage
when his attentions to Miss katherine

hearty response.
"A woman cannot recognize the same
moral responsibility as a man." said
the baron. mo marriage can remain q

Then, turning to Miss Enright the

Returning to the interview. the baron
continued:

Psychology of the SiekrooA.

From the Chicsso Inter-Ocean.
A young woman, writing to the New
York Sun, says that she has made a
great discovery. II Is that sick folk
do not desire to be "heartened up" but
wish sympathy and commiseration. In
stead Of saying. You're looking splendid
and you'll soon be In the very pink of
good health" she advises those who
visit the ailing to talk of their ailments
sympatheticaily IL they would make hit
with the sufferers.
1t isn't exactly new, this New York
girls discovery. Any physician whose
practice is largely among women knows
that this Is the right way to treat his
patients. Women who are sick-and
men. too. very often-take a strong per-
sonal pride in their ailments. There Is
a mournful pleasure, apparently, to
sufferer to talk Of the severity OF the
afnicting illness or the rarely Of the sur
gical operation which has been or is
about to be performed.
The best women's physicians use an
acute working knowledge Of Psychology
to aid in effecting cures They never
doubt the word of a patient that she is
''awfplly. sick" They agree; tell all
about the severity of the aiiment: admit
the terrible suffering the patient is un-
dergoing. but wind up by prescribing
something that will infallibly cure within

THE POLITICAL SITUATION.

The Republican party seems aboul
ready to again grapple with the prob
lem of Southern representation in the
national conventions.
The chief political development oi
the week has been the announcement
that a Republican national convention
is to be called next fall to take up the
question OF changing the present
method of electing delegates. While
this will be the principal subject dis
cussed there seems to be desire to
make a new deal all around, doing

Guided within the terms of the call, it

The question of Southern representa-
ton is full OF interest
The first serious protest against the
important part which Southern dele
gates play in a Republican convention
came when Harrison was nominated by
their aid at Minneapolis in 1892. There
was bitter opposition to Harrison in
the Northern Republican States, but
the officeholders in the South were nat
urally loyal to the President. 1t SO
happened that upon the roll call for
the nomination Harrison received the
requisite number OF votes when Texas
was reached.
Texas has nominated him, and now
let Texas elect him. was the sarcastic
comment of more than one Republican.
And Harrison was not elected.
The Southern delegates played an i'm
portant part in the nomination OF Will
lam Mckinley. Long before he sought
to obtain any delegates in the North,
Mark Hanna had been busy in the
Southern States, which were then,. as
now, merely Republican pocket bor-
Oughs. Mr. Hanna had only to see
half a dozen men in each Southern
State and parcel out the Federal Of
fees among them in order to secure
their State delegation. He accom-
pIished this work so quietly and ef-
fectively that before the other candi-
dates had made any plans very sub
stantial nucleus OF votes was pledged

ident Taft. a fact which had much to

entered into the subsequent campaign

upon the basis of one delegate for

Two United States Senator's
Who Remained Poor Men
By ROLAND.

Shortly after the death Of j. Pier

published an editorial in which. while
alluding to some of the benefactions
which characterized Mr.. Morgan, he
also referred to a successful appeal
made to Mr.. Morgan shortly after the
death of a certain United States
Senator Mr.. Morgan was told. that
this Senator's family was left penni-
less. The Senator had been a faithful
public servant for years. In all that
time he was absolutely dependent
upon his salary for his support.
Thereupon Mr. Morgan gave a sum
Of money sufficient to provide a mod
crate income for the family, but he
gave the money upon the express
stipulation that the gift should never
be made public.
