MARCH 7,. 1902 WHAT THEY SAY Extracts From Various Sources, Indi cating Democratic Opinion Regard ing Questions of the Day. We pay at the rate of about $70,000,- 000 a year for the little more than $5,- 000,000 a year of Philippine trade we get, while European nations pay noth ing for the more than $48,000,000 a year they get. These figures do their own talking. —English (Ind.) Demo crat. Even Republicans who opposed the free coinage of silver on the grounds that it would give us too much money are now willing to concede that by in creasing the volume of money in the past five years nearly six hundred millions dollars, the country is experi encing much better times. And strange to say the fifty-cent dollar does not scare the people. —Boulder (Col.) Rep resentative. Colonel James M. Guffey, member of the national Democratic committee for Pennsylvania, has no choice among the several fit and available gentle men who are recognized as party leaders, for the nomination of his party for governor, according to an esteemed Philadelphia contemporary. To borrow the exact and appropriate language of our esteemed contem porary. "all Democrats look alike," to Colonel Guffey. The meaning of that is that Colonel Guffey believes in the intelligence and integrity of the people, and that a free people is an unbossed people. There are less influential people in the Democratic party of Pennsylvania who take a different view of the ques tion, however. Every now and then we hear of a proposed conference in Washington, or Philadelphia, or this town, or somewhere else, of alleged Democratic leaders, for the purpose of selecting a candidate for governor. They feel that the wisdom of the party is all centered in them, and they cast aside this man and put that one for ward with as much freedom as if they owned the party and the voters were their vassals. It would be amusing if it wasn't serious. Colonel Guffey's attitude is infinitely the better and fitter. The Democrats of Pennsylvania will not endure boss ism. They believe in the liberty of speech, conscience and action. They are well informed, both with respect to measures and men and will select their own candidate for governor. Colonel Guffey has a right to his pref erence among the available gentlemen as every other man has. But the rep resentatives of the party of all sec tions of the state in convention as sembled will make the nomination. Colonel Guffey is setting a good ex ample.—llarrisburg Star-Independent. General Wheaton, an American offi cer who is trying to subjugate a people who ask that we simply attend to our | own business and let them alone, says that men have been imprisoned for such speeches as the one recently de livered by Professor Schurman in Boston. The professor in this address took exception to the rigid military rule that is prevailing in the Philip pines. This serves Schurman about, right, for no intelligent, high minded man as he is popularly supposed to be, should not be guilty of mixing up in this infernal business of trying to fin ish the dirty job begun by Spain of butchering the Filipinos in order to get their territory. Schurman, like any other man possessing the in stincts of true civilization, was at first ! opposed to the whole business and did ' not hesitate to say so; but the big dose of pap in the shape of a good job on the Filipino commission was too great a temptation and he became a mild apologist for our conduct in trying to crush out a liberty loving people. His apologies, however, do not suit General Wheaton and he tells what has been done with men for say ing a word in favor of liberty and in criticism of wholesale murder. It must lie rather humiliating to Schur man to have a two-for-five military satrap insinuating that he should be arrested for disloyal utterances. If he will now rise to the occasion and wash his stained hands of the whole mur dering business he would sleep more soundly and earn the heartfelt thanks of every right-minded American as well as of the Filipinos who are strug gling for freedom as earnestly and de servedly as did our forefathers in 1776. CHOICr, MISCELLANY The Extent of Onr ltnllrontln. From a little wooden track lino along the Lackawaxen creek, where the first locomotive in the country had its trial in 1821), the railroad systems of the United States have grown in seventy three years to a network of rails which, straightened out. would make a single track extending eight times around the world. Visualize this eightfold girdle. Beside it a new track is progressing twelve miles a day on the ninth circuit. On every five mile stretch is a locomo tive with a train of eight cars. There are five men at work for every mile and 240 new men coming to work ev ery day. The road carries more ton nage than all the ships on all the seas together with the railroads of the busiest half of Europe. From the lines that make up the imaginary manifold belt one wage earner out of every fif teen in the country, directly or indi rectly, secures a living for himself and his dependents, if not as a fireman or a conductor or a superintendent, then ns a locomotive builder or a steel worker or even one of the lumbermen engaged in hewing down the 3,000 square miles of timber employed every year for ties. —World's Work. WnapN In War. Richard Harding Davis relates this incident, which happened while he was acting as correspondent during the Englisli-Boer war: A regiment of Scottish highbinders noted for their bravery in action dur ing the heat of one battle were sudden ly seen to break ranks and run in all directions. The officers as well shared in the stampede and apparently made no attempts to urge the men under tliem into line. Their behavior was a surprise to everybody on the field, and after the battle was over the colonel of the regiment was summoned before General Roberts. "What the devil was the matter with your regiment?" asked "Bobs." "Well," replied the colonel, "there is not a man in the regiment afraid of a Dutchman's bullet, but we were steer ed into a field literally infested with wasps' nests, and, you know, general, we were all in kilts and with lmre legs."—New York Times. 4it Iced River In May. It was the Bth of May last year be fore the ice Jam in the great lakes was broken and marine traffic was resumed. At the lower end of Lake Huron it is estimated that the ice was fifteen miles across and extended unbroken to the foot of the lake. It was a strange scene that greeted the dwellers along the St. Clair river during this ice jam, and every day the electric line of cars running be tween Detroit and Port Huron took out loads of excursionists to see the sight. The banks of the river were green with grass, and the foliage made tlie landscape charming. Yet the river itself wus one great mass of crystal hummocks and resembled a glacier. Meanwhile the women, in summer dresses and with sunshades, gazed and gossiped on the silent crafts in mid stream that were held by the ice. At night when the boats were illuminated it was a fairy scene on the ice.— World's Work, Attained Their Object. An English literary man who had taken a run through our western cities told an American friend after coming back to Cambridge that a social expe rience he had in Chicago staggered him a bit. He was invited to make one of a large party at an evening function. Not exactly understanding the peculiar nature of the occasion, he made bold to ask a gentleman of his acquaintance whom lie met in the dressing room the object of the dinner. "The object of the dinner," returned the gentleman addressed, "is to get drunk and to get drunk quick." "And I think it is only fair and proper," explained the Eng lishman in telling the story, "to say that this specific object was most sat isfactory and expeditiously attained." Wlmt He Foiled to Make. The original John Jacob Astor was asked one day what was the largest amount of money be had ever made in one transaction. This he declined to answer, but said be would tell the lar gest sum that he failed to make. Then he went on to relate how lie, Do Witt Clinton and Gouverneur Morris had planned to buy Louisiana from France and to sell it to the United States gov ernment. retaining the public domain and charging 2 1 / per cent commission. They changed their minds, and Mr. As tor said that he lost $30,000,000 by fail ing to go into the deal. Birds Without Bruins. It is a very common idea that if the brain of an animal is completely de stroyed it will die or if it lives it re mains in a "comatose" condition. An ingenious German has cut out some pigeons' brains with care, given the wound time to heal and shown that the birds can run about, fly, measure a dis tance, eat, go to sleep in the dark, wake up with the light and in fine <io most of tlie things a healthy normal pigeon can do. Only memory and the mating impulses are quite goue.— Harper's Weekly. New York Hotels. All idea of the abundance of hotel accommodations in New York may be laid from the statement of the presi dent of the New York Hotel Men's as sociation that New York has become the greatest hotel center in the world. It has more hotels than London. Paris and Berlin combined. There are twice as many hotels in New York today as there were n year ago, and they are being put up by the dozen, by the score, by the hundreds, and they are reckoned the best investment there is going. JiS'SHX *{ LAXAKOLA "J \ A DOES IT NO ONE BUT A MOTHER I •leep flra to an ailing, teething-, fereriah, colicky, frctty infant. Almost distracted by its couataul crying:, and worn out with weary, anxious care and watching:, she tries every thiug possible to obtain even relief for the little sufferer. With what comfort and tlolight she sees her little one drop off into a deep peaceful health-giving- slumber, after its little clogged bowels are cleared of their poisonous burden by a single dose of Laiakola, the great tonic laxative and mother's remedy. Laxakola is a pure, gentle and painless liquid laxative, and contains valuable tonic properties which not only act upon the bowels, but tone up the entire system and purify the blood. A few drops can be given with safety to very young babies, which will often relieve colic by expelling the wind and gas that cause it. Great relief Ts ex perienced when administered to young children suffering from diarrhoea, accompanied with white or green evacuations, as it neutralizes the acidity of the bowels and carries out the cause of the fermentation. LAXAKOLA will aid digestion, relieve restlessness, assist nature, and induce sleep. For constifiation, simple fevers, coated tongue, or any infantile troubles arising from a disordered condition of the stomach it is invaluable. Laxakola, the great tonic laxative. Is not only the most efficient of family remedies, hut the most economical, because it combines two medicines, vf/.: laxative ami tonic, and at one |>rice.

Sir John Rainsden is snid to he the richest of nil English baronets, his in come, it is estimated, footing up to $840,000 a year. When his present term expires in 1003, Mr. Allison of lowa will have been a United States senator for thirty consecutive years. Lord Itosebery says the average read er spends too much time in "munching crabapples, unconscious of the choic est fruits of the tree of knowledge." Senator Heitfeld of Idaho is a noted collector of rare editions. He is the possessor of more curious and interest- | ing books centuries old than any other man in the senate. I , John E. Snyder and his wife, who live near I'arkersburg, W. Va., have j been married only twenty-one years, j but have eighteen children, eight being i twins, u;*l all of them being alive and well.

Senator Daniel of Virginia lives in ! very modest style in Washington and j has for almost thirty years spent near- j l.v all his money in paying oil' debts i incurred by a relative in the panic of ! 1873, which he assumed of his own j free will. William M. Ramsey of California has just purchased Westover, the famous country seat along the James river iu Virginia, whose history is well traced for 200 jours. He will restore the es tate to its colonial magnificence, but* will not mar its colonial architecture. Sir Henry Irving has always about him both at the theater and at home a great number of pairs of spectacles. He is always losing or mislaying a pair and so believes that he should have another pair at hand. Conse quently he has at his theater some six ty of them. E. S. Flint, the war mayor of Cleve land, who died in that city the other day, accompanied the Prince of Wales (King Edward) when he visited this country across Ohio in the private car Crestline, Mr. Flint at that time be ing superintendent of the railroad over which the prince had to travel.

FINGER NAILS. Long nails indicate ideality and an artistic temperament. Short nails, thin and flat at the base, indicate a weak action of the heart. Long nailed people are apt to be very visionary und hate to face disa greeable facts. Short nails, very flat and sunk, as it were, into the flesh at the base, are a sign of diseased nerves. Short nails, very flat and inclined to curve out or lift up at the edges, are the forerunners of paralysis. Short nailed persons make good crit ics. They are sharper and more log ical than long nailed people and usual ly more positive in assertion. Long nails never indicate such great physical strength as short, broad ones. Very long finger nailed persons are apt to have delicate chests and lungs. Long nails, very wide at the top and bluish in appearance, denote bad cir culation. Long nailed men and wom en are less critical and more impres sionable than those with short nails.— Womun's Life. CYNICISMS. How a girl loves to confess to her lover that she has sewed on Sunday! A French girl marries for the liberty it gives her; an American girl marries to get her teeth fixed. If you want to see a woman become animated, get her to tell about the sick women she has known. How would some men get out of tilings if they did not say. "Oh, don't believe everything you see in the pa pers!"—Atchison Globe. JAS. H.
