One who would fit himself for the profession of surgeon must study long and carefully. He TnctlcHN " must know where niiiiMlcrliriNxrii, , , , . . nerve and artery lie. must gain experience in hospital and dissecting room, and pass a rigid examination before he can be consid ered ready for practice. Even many skilled physicians, who have made the human body a life-long study, pre fer to leave eases requiring surgery to those who have made a specialty of that branch of the profession. But i when it comes to moral surgery, says The Wellspring, every amateur thinks liimself an expert fully able to remove any false growths or remedy distor tions. Any chance acquaintance can diagnose the case, and cut carelessly into sensitive nerves and quivering heartstrings. Any failure to conform with their ideas of duty, any tempera ment they cannot understand, any re lation or position in which they fancy 1 he;,' could do better, strikes them as a case for their handling, and they wield knife or lancet right cheerfully, and go their way to boast of their work. Alas! for the harm that is done, but there is no court before which the sufferer can bring suit for malpractice. Some time after the death of Lowell a Boston lady remarked that Boston ians had been able to make their social gatherings distinguished by the pres ence <,f Lowell, Holmes, Longfellow and others. "But now," said she, sadly, "we have to put up with the 'and others.' " The recent passing of Frank Stockton and Brete Harte has pro voked similar remarks, not about so ciety. but about American literature. Yet when the older men were in their prime Harte and Stockton were in cluded among the"and others;" and some of the"and others" of to-day will lie the lions of the next decade, through the prestidigitation of the magician Time. A question of the hour: "What shall be the subject of my graduation part?" One Graduation > oungman finish ing his course at Kxsuy. Bowdoin college, at the age of IS, in the year ISL'S, took as his theme, "Our X#t ive Writers." He made an interesting prophecy, which later he helped to fulfill. The speaker was Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. "In the vanity of scholarship," said he, "England has reproached us that we have no finished scholars. . . . Our very poverty in this respect will ht»ve a tendency to give a national character to our literature. Our writers will not lie constantly toiling and panting after classical allusions to the Vale of Teinpe ar.d the Etrurian Itiver. . . . We are thus thrown upon ourselves; and thus shall our native hills become re nowned in song, like those of Greece and Italy." When we measure Long fellow's enrichment of our literature, the opening words of his Bowdoin ora tion have a special significance: "To an American there is something en dearing in the very sounds —Our Na tive Writers." o doubt, observes the Brooklyn Eagle, Mr. Schwab and one or two others could govern the United Stales with less expense than its govern ment now costs, and could govern if: well, if to them were given legislative and executive power, instead of that power being created by the people at the polls. The people, however, would prefer presidents with their mistakes, congresses with their er rors and office holders with their per centage of incompetency or dishon esty to faultless rule without the lib erty to the people to create govern ment, to change it and to make faces at it. Failures with freedom are bet ter than perfection without it. The soft- answer still has some ad vantages. One of the telephone girls in an Oregon city has recently married a wealthy banker of that place, and gone abroad on a wedding trip. The banker was first attracted to the young woman by her gentle voice in calling "number," through the tele phone. One is reminded that the hero ine of I)r. Holmes' "Over tlse Teacups" had no name. As "Number Five" only slie became endeared to readers, and her principal characteristic was a low, rich, well-modulated voice. UPHOLD THE REPUBLICANS. r l)emocrn(N Are in Ilnr uiouy with the Admin lit rution'B I'liiliI>|»I nr I'olicy. The eloquent championship by Sen ator Morgan, the ablest and most in fluential democrat in congress, of the republican policy in the Philippines is a fact of vast significance to the coun try. It means that the progressive democrats as well as the republicans are in harmony on this vital measure of national procedure. He pointed out that he was obliged to part company with many of his party in congress and in the country at large on this great issue, but he enunciated his ideas with great courage and effectiveness. On this question, which is the largest which is before the country at the present moment, the Alabama sena tor holds orthodox republican ground. Some of his democratic colleagues assailed his position, and others of them will do this in the days which in tervene before the enactment <if the Philippine bill, lie is on the strong side, however, and can afford to incur whatever hostility his course will pro voke among his democratic colleagues, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Morgan's position is significant be cause it i- the position which is taken by many of the most intelligent and progressive of the members of the dem ocratic party throughout the country. A majority of the southern newspa pers of ability and influence are on the republican side on the Philippine is sue. Among them are the Nashville American, Ihe Florida Times-Union, the Mobile Register, the Memphis Commercial-Appeal, flip Atlanta Con stitution and the Louisville Courier- Journal. These newspapers must rep resent a large element of voters of their communities. They are being reenforced constantly by newspapers of ability and position in their section. In the old days, the south was a section in which the expansion sentiment was especially strong. It was the south which look the lead in the movement which led to the accept ance of Texas' offer of annexation. The south furnished most of the vol unteers and the money for the filibus tering expeditions organized against the Spaniards in Cuba, and which aimed to capture other parts of the territory of the I.atin-Amcriean region. Slavery had a little 1o do with this expansion ist feeling, of course, but the expan sionist sentiment was strong in that section from the days of I'.oone, T'ob ertson, Sevier and their colleagues, long before the slavery issue began to have any influence in favor of terri torial enlargement in the tropical re gions. On the most important issue of the day, the retention of the Philippines, the republican party is invincible. The policy of keeping the flag up in the islands will receive the support of nine tenths of the republican masses and of three or four-tenths of the demo crats. The democratic condemnation encountered by Presndent Cleveland when lie pulled down the flajr in Ha waii in 1593 would be faint compared with that which would be aroused from the same party by any American official, democrat or republican, who would propose o take the flag down in th'e Philippines. This is an issue which the republican party will keep at Ihe front. In the congressional campaign of 1902 the republican stump orators and newspapers will show that democratic success would mean the abandonment of the archi pelago to anarchy and spoliation from some European power or powers. The same issue will be uppermost in the presidential canvass of 1004. for suc cess by the democrats in that year would mean the renewal of the Fili pino rrvolt. the withdrawal of the American forces from the islands, anil the abandonment of the position of power and influence in Asia and in the politics of the world, which was {rained in IMIB. Morgan's support of the re publican policy on the most vital issue of the day is important, as showing that a strong ingredient of the demo cratic party will Vie on the republican side in the campaigns of 1002 and 1004.

THEY ARE BEGINNING TO SEE. Some I'rolrrllon Tmtlmnny Tlint I Kuliulifctif llK the I'ree TrieMJc Tlieorlut*. Those who have been seized with the idea that free trade it the pen ace a for all economic ills have a bitter jiill to swallow in the shape of the proposition to restore the corn duties in England. This i? the entering wedge of protec tion, nr. matter liow the fact may be disguised or explained. And there can We no question that the marvelous in dustrial development of the United States, under protection, has con vinced many a doubting Thomas that free trade is by no means all that fancy and enthusiastic theorists have paint ed it. As an illustration of the sort of talk that is heard in England nowa days. says the Troy Times, the follow ing from the Pottery Gazette, of Lon don, is of interest. "The t'r.lted States is- the prent s-tumblinK block In the peispel of free trade. ll<rv 1* a country which taxes every manufactured thing- Imported, many of thi m at perfectly preposterous rates, and' y?t Is the most prosperous country on earth, accumulating wealth at a rate never before known. Not only do employers and capitalists do well, but all classes stem to share In the pros perity. ar.d the general level of comfort is higher than in any other country. Surely protection cannot be the baneful policy we have been taught to regard it! Such are the reflections we hear all over the country, not least among the employers and the operatives of the potting trade, in view of the dwindling of our American trade. Why should Wi open our hospitable ports to the china and earthenware of all tountrha under the sun ar.d be by ihem taxed almost to prohibition in return?'' ] I ere, as the American Economist says, is a plaintive note of comparison, contrast anil envy, and it adds with timeliness and truth: "If there are people in this country who do not know when they are well off or who think they are- too well off and would like to do something to rectify that condi tion—and it would see m that there are many such—the y can, with marked advan tage", re-ad and inwardly digest the above expression in be half of some- people who do r.ot think ihev are well off.

Se'imtor Dolliver'N Arrnlgnmrnt of Antericun VnliKiirrH of Our Soldier*. I'nited States Senator Polliver, of lowa, one of the ablest anel most elo ijuent- men in public life, made a valu able contribution to the discussion of the Philippine question in his recent speech. Taking up the charges made by democratic senators of conspiracy and mismanagement, he aimed a pow erful rebuke at their partisanship and lack eif patriotism. Senator Polliver was ineest adroit anil forceful in show ing that the opposition, avoiding the re al and weighty question at issue—■ the establishment of an adequate and just civil government f«■ r the Philip pines—had degraded the debate by turning it into a malicious tirade of abuse of the solders anei "a most reckless indictment of the I'nited States." The whole aim seemed to have been to stain the honor and im peach the humanity of the American army, says the Troy Times. Senator Polliver with special effect dwelt on the benevolence and kindness eif President McKinley and the policy he sought tei enforce in the Philip pines. That policy cemtomplated noth ing of personal e>r party aggrandize ment, and looked only to the welfare iif all concerned. To hear it denounced and the terms "thieves." "murderers," •'plunderers" and "carpet baggers" flung from the lips of democratic -tatesmen at American commanders anil civil riders who were trying con e-eienti'nisly to enforce that policy was more than the brilliant lowan could st and. and his dennneation of these ut terances was scathing. It is true, as Se'nntor Polliver re in ;e rkeel. that a rmed ins urn-el ion in the Philippine islands against United States authority lias, in a military <-ense, practically ceased to exist. There would have been less of it and it would have ended long ago but for encouragement received from the Malay sympathizers e.n this side of the Pacific ocean. The last resource eif the latter has been the indiscrimi nate and unwarranted abuse of our officers and soldiers serving their coun try with valor, loyalty and humanity —in a word, the cowardly and eletest .Vile practice of firing in the rear, which is always more despicable than open war and a frontal attack. Sena tor Polliver and other republicans are putting these maligners of the Ameri can army in the-ir true light before the country, and they will meet with the same popular condemnation that has overtaken others who attempted the fire-in-tlie-rear linsiness. CTSotne of the "independent" or gans of their own greed are contin ually maldng an effort to induce the peeiple tei think that Senator ITanna is n candidate for the' presidential nom ination in l!i04. re it with st a ndinij his : iiirsitive statements that he will not lie a candidate, and notwithstanding I the probability t'int the republicans will never nominf-te a millionaire for | that office. —lowa State Register. ANOTHER TORNADO. Worst Storm in Central Illinois Since l"-t:{. A Nnniher of Live* Lo«t-Twenty-four ICngl lie* In H ItouiMllioiiMe Were De-mroy ed l'eorla unel Hlooiiilimton Siid'e-r the Mont. Peoria, 111,, June 12.—The double storm that struck Peoria tit 1(1 o'clock Tuesday night and again ill 2 o'clock Wednesday morning was the; worst central lUineiis has experienced since 1543. Bain fell in torrents and the damage caused by the high winds can not be estimated. Probably the worst damage, in proportion to the size of the town, was at Kingston Mines, a small mining town 20 miles below Peoria. There three people were killed outright and ten were in jured. three fatally. George Ueardon, an employe of the. electric company, was instantly killed while repairing the* steirm damage at Glen Oak Park. He' was caught by a live wire and died instantly. George Ashloek, another lineman, was seri ously burned in attempting to extri cate Ueardon from the wire. The Peoria efc Pekin roundhouse was blown down. In it were eight men and all escaped without serious injury, excepting Sam Spenee, an lowa Central engineer, who was caught by falling walls anel received serious injuries te> his back. He is in a very seriems condition. Thirteen locomotives owned by the Illinejis Central, two e»y the lowa Cen tral, four by the Toledo, Peoria & Western and five by the I'.ig Four, We're almost totally wrecked. The Chicagei. Hock Island «.V- Pacific train whie-h left this city at 11:25 o'clock Tuesday night for Chicago, ran into a washout just above the city. The engine is buried in sand anel mud anel ihe< baggage car turned over. Hubert Atkinson, the engineer, was the only person injured. Shortly after 11 o'clock a report reached the police that the' people liv ing at Dry Hun were in danger of drowning, as they had been caught by the' flood. Howboats were' hauled to the> scene and the police took 12 people from their homes. They were staneiing on pianos, with the water almost to their necks. BloomingJon. 111., June 12. —Stretch- ing across a pathway 100 miles in width and devastating a territory fully 200 miles long, extending from Livingston county on the north to Macoupin county on the south, and leaving its mark clear across the face of central Illinois, a cyclone on Tues day night inflicted a property loss which will aggregate millions of eleil lars anel eeist a deizen lives. The brunt of the storm fell upon McLean and adjoining counties. Lightning was incessant for two hemrs, but was marked by absence of thunder claps. Wind reached a velocity of 100 miles an hour anel in its track were left de struction and death. While the fatalities in McLean county were but three in number, scores of persons were seriously in jured anel hundreds of narrow escapes from death were reporteel. Xot a village e>r city e>f McLean coun ty escaped, and from every district comes the same repeirt of destroyed buildings, injury to growing crops and razed fruit and shade trees. The heaviest loss in proportion to the population fell upon Merna, a village ten miles east of Blooming ton, where the town hall used by a party of 230 for a dance was de stroyed, three of the women dancers being instantly killeel by falling tim bers. The greatest loss in Blooomington was the destruction eif thousands of shade trees. The streets are in many eases impassable, by reason of fallen trees. It is estimated that one-third of the trees in the city and vicinity are ruined. The loss through the destruction of fruit tre-e-s will alsei reach large pre>- portiems. many orchards being entire ly leveled. Many brick yards at the edge of the city were destroyed, the- long rows of vlicds offering easy marks for the wind. The government observer found that, between 11 p. m.and 11:30 p. m. an inch and a half of rain fell, the heaviest e-ver known in central Illi nois in that length of time. Bloom ington's pleasure resort, Miller park, is a dreary waste, all its pavilions be ing demolished and the tre*es blown down. At Stanford, ten miles west of Bloomingtein. a box car e>n a sieb' track was lifted from its trucks and carried 1100 feet. At El Paso, 20 miles neirth, the- teiwn hall, containing all the- fire- department- apparatus, was destreiycel with its contents. The tow er on the building, SO feet high, was blown <iIV and carried a hundred feet. Col. LYNCH IK Arretted. London, June 12.—C01.

It Ih (;irrn Iti'lurr tlio « uliaii Commit' If nnil < iiimrii u Stir Anion:: Sena tom. Washington, June 12. F. It. Thur ber, president of the Exporters' as sociatinn, the witness tiiat lias been wanted liv the Cuban committee, was before the committee yesterdaj\ Senator Teller produced a copy of a voucher for $2,880 showing that that sum had been paid by tne military government of Cuba by authority of Gov. Wood to the United States Ex port association, of which Thurber is president. Thurber acknowledged that he had received the amount and said it was one of three payments lie had re ceived from the same source. The re ceipt was dated April 2, 1!»02, and states that it was for "advocating a reduction in the duties on Cuban pro ducts, witn a reciprocal reduction for United Slates products n'oiii;; into Cuba." The witness said he thought $20,000 worth of literature bad been circulated. He said he had received a contribution of $2,500 from Mr. Jlave nieyer, of the sugar refining com pany, when lie solicited that gentle man for a subscription. The testimony given before the committee on Cuban relations by F. I!. Thurber. showing that between SB,OOO and $9,000 had been paid out of the Cuban treasury under the direc tion of Gov. Gen. Wood for the pro motion of the effort to secure reci procity between the United States and Cuba, caused a sensation in the senate. Opinions as to the ultimate effect of the testimony are varied, but the immediate results are seen in the de cision reached during the afternoon to have two caucuses in me early future. The first of these will be hold by the beet sugar republican senators to-day and the second by all the re publican senator Friday or Saturday. Th purpose of the meeting of the sugar men is to consider the situa tion as affected by yesterday's devel opments. and also to receive a report from the. commit tee appointed to con fer with the republican members of ihe Cuban committee. This commit tee will state that the Cuban com mittee has declined to consider all propositions looking to a compromise. The propositions that have been made are two- —the first for a rebate and the second for a commercial treaty with Cuba. The committee will say that both plans were rejected and that the members of the Cuban committee would not change their position that there must be a straight reduction of 20 per cent., without any condi tions except that Ihe president might have power to revoke the con cession in case he found that the Cu ban planters were not getting the benefit of it. The. full conference will be in the nature of a caucus and some of the beet sugar men say they will enter it only with the under standing that they will not be bound by any conclusion that may be reached. QUAY IS ON TOP. Hp Score* a Victory In Pennay Ivanla'» He pub I lea 11 Con veil tloti. Jlarrisburg, Pa., June 12.—Judge Samuel W. Pennypaeker, of Philadel phia, has nominated for governor over Attorney General John I*. Elkin, of Indiana, by yesterday"s republi can state convention, by a vote of 20G to 152. Ex-State Senator William M. Hrown. of New Castle, and Major Isaac H. Urown, 'if Erie, were nomi nated by acclamation for lieutenant governor and secretary of internal affairs respectively. Senator Quay was unanimously chosen chairman of the republican state committee by a suspension of the rules, requiring the state chair man to be chosen by the nominees and the presiding officers of the con vention and he will conduct the cam paign for the state ticket. The plat form endorses the administration of President Roosevelt. reaffirms loyal ty to the principles of a protective tariff, declares for pure and honest ballot reform, condemns trusts, ap proves the action of the president and attorney general in proceeding again the beef trust, and makes ,io mention of the state administration. Pennypacker's nomination is a per sonal victory for Senator Quay. El kin was formerly one of Quay's chief lieutenants and wnen lie became a candidate it was thought he was the senator's choice. After delegates friendly to Elkin were elected in sev eral counties, Quay advised against the attorney general's candidacy in the interest of party harmony. Elkin declined to withdraw. Quay then made a public declaration against his candidacy and when I'en nypacker was suggested for the nomination the senator tacitly en dorsed him. Elkin was backed ijy Gov. Stone and other members of the state administration. Quay assumed direction of Penny packer's campaign and from the start predicted Elkin would not be nomi nated. The senator came here on Saturday with Senator Penrose and Insurance Commissioner Durham and opened headquarters for I'ennypack er. Elkin and his lieutenants were also on the ground early and until the strength of the rival candidates was revealed at Tuesday night's c<»il euses it was conceded that the con test was very close.

TROOPS CALL EDO U r [ Uiotinjr in Street Railroaders' Strike in Pawtucket, 11. I. BtJ I'atally Shot—Street Car* Wert interfered with by i*lob» Who Stoned the Vehicle* and Ile|>utl<-N Who Were (•iiardltit; Them. Pawtucket, R. 1., June 13.—For the first time in the history of the city bayonets in the hands of soldiers ordered out by the governor of the state to suppress riotous disturb ances, glistened in the streets of Pawtucket yesterday. The rioting resultant on the street car strike induced Gov. Kimball to call out the militia. Numerous scenes of disorder occurred during the day and more than a score of persons were injured, one fatally. The city was taken possession of by the militia. A provisional regiment was formed composed of companies of the First and Second regiments, with the First battalion of cavalry. The regiment responded to an emerg ency call promulgated by Gov. Kim ball. and Prig. Gen. Herbert S. Tanner assumed command. In the afternoon orders were issued calling out the third division of the naval reserves and the machine gun battery. The first disturbance was at the city line. Pursuing the custom fol lowed during the strike, the United i Traction Co.'s ears were started from 1 the Pawtucket avenue car house, near ! the line dividing Pawtucket and \ Providence, and on one ear was a number of deputy sheriffs. This ear was followed at intervals by three others. When the ears reached the junction | of Pawtucket and East avenues, trou | ble began. The presence of the depu i ties on the cars angered the crowd which had gathered, and a fusilade of stones, tin cans and other missiles followed. The cars were badly dam aged. The inotorman of each car saw that his only chance was to start the carat full speed and run through the crowd without stopping. Each car was assailed and soon all were stalled at Haymarket square. Then Chief of Police Rice informed Gi j n. Tanner that the conditions were such that his force of men was unable to handle the mob, and he sought the aid of the militia. A company of the First regiment was sent out, and met the ears at Haymarket square. It. preceded them to East and Pawtucket avenues, where the militiamen guarded the cars in front and rear. There was a noisy demonstration. For a min ute the soldiers were cheered and then a few rocks were thrown. One of these struck Deputy Sheriff Mor ton. cutting his face. Then the street where the trouble had occurred was picketed off by Troop A and the troopers maintained peace for an hour or more. During this interval cars were not run. In the meantime High Sheriff White asked that three companies of militia, be sent to Pawtucket avenue, and this was done, with Maj. Johnson in command. Hut before this order was carried into effect the most serious trouble of the day occurred. A car was started from the Paw tucket avenue car house, on which were a score of deputy sheriffs. At Pawtucket and East avenues a big crowd was waiting and it was pre- to give the deputies a warm re ception. Maj. Maynard had the battalion of cavalry as a guard to the cars, the troop being divided by platooons, front and rear. The deputy sheriffs were ordered to keep their revolvers in their pockets by Maj. Maynard, who saiii if there was to be shooting done the militia would do it. Chief of Police Rice was present Rnd advised the people to disperse and a number of the striking conduc tors and motornien endangered their ofcn safety by endeavoring to prevail on the people to leave. Hefore the people turned their at tention to the car, they cheered the troopers. Immediately after, how ever. a rain of stones, brickbats and every conceivable form of missile fell upon the electric car. The troopers were hemmed in by the mob anil with great difficulty succeeded in working their way out. Hut, when the turmoil was at its height fully a dozen shots were tired from the car, tiirough the drawn cur tains, all of which did no damage, nave one, which lodged in tiie neck of Venner Peterson, aged 12, son of John Peterson, of this city. The boy had been carrying dinners and was re turning home, when attracted by the crowd. The shot struck him when lie was standing some distance from the car. The slioooting made the mob wild and only the presence of the troops prevented the demolition of the car and the serious injury of some of the deputies. Maj. Sweet, surgeon of the cavalry, examined the boy and pronounced him fatally hurt. The wounding of the boy sobered the crowd, after the ear had proceeded, and they became more temperate, but many threats were made to kill a deputy sheriff in retaliation. At this time a Providence passenger, Retijamin Bosworth, be coming alarmed at the shower of stones, jumped from the car which was being rushed through the cro.vd, and sustained serious injuries by tail ing.
