Bept ti. -Prominent Democrats who have 'ome' to Wash ington this ' week have been almost unanimous a expressing satisfaction that Mr. Bryan la disposed to respect opposing opinion within his party- and not press the matter of 'Federal and State ownership - of i railroads. v Tba Democratic atmoapjhera haa been clar. tiled, they declare,- and there is now no reason why all Democrat should not ne di to gel togeiner ana pre eent a united front in-;l0. .- , - As was to be expected," Mr. Bryan has been aubjected to a groat deal of crlUclsaw largely from. Republican sourcea. . for what Is . termed his re oantatlon of the kovernment owner ahlp '- preachment.; - Thl critteutm is nsnlfestly unfair ia view of the fact uui, iron mm, umo uuma.-tmuq praise xor Fresident Roosevelt wnen he heeded the opinion W Republican leaders and decided not to presa upon Congress consideration of tariff, revis ion. -' -, ; '.-. . : : Hr. Roosevelt was and Is convinced that the tariff ahould .be revised; tra found ho could not press thevmatter without eauslng serious discord with in bis party, so yielded to expediency nd agreed" to let the matter ret for the preaent.: Mr. Roosevelt was hailed s a wise and patriotic statesmsn. Mr, Bryan la convinced that the Federal and Stste government should own tha railroads; ha . finds . within the De mocracy absolute and unyielding op position to such a policy and realties that to press it now -would disrupt the party. He yields to expediency and agrees to let the matter rest until the much-vaunted rata legislation has rbeen tried. Mr.. Bryan is denounoed as a self-seeking demagogue, - whose ambition; to be Presidentsoutweighs very other consideration. Thar la no occasion for comment on this sort of politics. It belonga to tha political dark agea of a past generation. , i ' IDENTICAL SITUATIONS. Nor can it be forgotten that In I public address last winter Mr. Roose velt expressed conviction that there ahould be a tax on" fortunes as a means of preventing menacing accu mulation! of wealth. That was Just aa radical . aa Mr. . Bryan's . government ownership doctrine- Republicans op posed and even ridiculed the idea. Mr. Roosevelt saw that ha had not made a "hit," and had, aense enough to let the matter drop. Tha aituatlbn was almost identical with the one in which Mr. Bryan now finds himself. yet Roosevelt waa praised for his moderation and Bryan is flayed as-a hyprocrite. It must be admitted that Democrats treated Mr. Roosevelt with a gseat deal more fairness and con sideration than Mr. Bryan ts now re ceiving at th hands of Republican It la probable,-, however, that re publican -denunciation does . not seri ously worry Mr. Bryan and his friend '. Had he Insisted upon gov ernment ownership . as a cardinal Democratic doctrine, be would have been denounced as a boss, who waa bound to ml or ruin. Even had Mr, Bryan been willing to sacrifice himself upon th Itr of government owner ahlp, ha could nbt have done so with out at tha same time sacrificing hit party. It would not have helped tha situation a bit for Mr. Bryan to have said: "I am unalterably committed to government ownership, but I find Democratic sentiment opposed to It; therefore, I shall retire as a presi dential possibility," The result would have bean that la every State of tha Union Mr. Bryan's friends would have set to work to (arco government own ership upon the party, and the con flict would have been Juat aa hurtful as If Mr; Bryan had held to his orig inal position HEARST FORCED. UP5N IT. Tha possibility of a Hearst victory In New Tork State haa been a thing of dread to old-line Democrats, but now that it la all over tha situation la not nearly so bad as had been anticipated, It waa not Mr. Hearst a radicalism, but th exigencies of "practical" poll tics, that finally decided the contest. No man la for a moment amy enough to believe, that "Boss" . Murphy haa any sympathy with th - things for which Mr. Hearst stands, and the very liveliest doubt Is entertained whether Tammany will give him anyhlng even approaching toyai support at tne polls. ; ... - ' . wiuia tne jNw,iera Democracy, through a bargain with a political cor ruptlontst pure and simple, haa had Uearst forced upon It, it will hardly be contended that Haarstlsm xand De mocracy are synonymous terma In the Empire Bute, and there, will be so such effect upon th national Democ racy as there would have been had Mr. Hearst's victory been a cuan-cut and straightforward one, - --, Ten days ago there wss hardly dis sent from the opinion that a Hearst victory ia New Tork would be bound to color the next , najionai Democratic form, -That possibility Is now regard ed as a thing of the past. Mr, He.irst'a deal with Tammany and Mr. Bryan's revised attitude on government own ership having reduced tha moral ef fect to th minimum.' Should Mr. Hearst be elected Oovernor, and should his partnership with Tammanr re main unbroken, ho might be able, tin der th unit- rule, to -control the New Tork delegation to tha national con vention; but there Is little llkeUbood that he and Tammany will continue to train together. Without Tammany ha could . not have been nominated for Governor, . and without Tammany he cannot capture th national convention delegation. Should Mr., Hearst da de feated In November, th Incident of his nomlnatloa will have been forgot ten by 10I - ' V ,v DEVELOPMENTS IN CUBA. : ; .Developments In Cuba, of course. have been tha chief things of Inter est this week, tven overshadowing tha New Tork conventions, Senator Bev- erldse'a declaration ttfat if tha ''Ameri can flag goes up In Cuba It -wilt not com down haa been severely criti cised In administration circles, not I u . ..... , U . ..... v. .- V. doubted but because 'It aa a bad time to tall the truth. , No one denies that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Tsft have tried sincerely and earnestly to settle the Cuban muddle without violating the sovereignty of tha republic, but it Is not generally believed their hearts wera in the task. There la In Wash ington an " overwhelming sentiment that Cuba would make a desirable p"s selo of the United Btatrs, but that she will never be a denlrable neighbor. Khonld Vie United fttatrs announce Its purpose to snnex the Island, re public, the Cubsns would hsve to be I whipped, pfrbaps, but It is not doubt ed that eventually they would becom loyal and desirable citlxena. The xeo pie Of Spanish deeent in New Mexico and the Southwest, though- clinging tenaciously to their old customs and the mother tongue, .leave nothing to be desired in the matter of tbelr Am erlranlsm. In many of tbe parishes of Loulxlana. after a hundred yeara under the American flag, ' French ts still th dominant language, but no one doubt the Americanism Of thosd French descendants. If there la any reason m-hy th Cubana should not do aa well. It 'Is " not ', apparent at thla time.-; v-'-""1 - i : r ivw-.'v ' The political effect of Intervention, wth prospective annexation, furnishes an Interesting1 theme for , speculation. The prevailing opinion In Washington Is that the .country favors annexation, if it can be dope without dishonor. but that it would not tolerate, anything that smacked of a breach.- of faith So far there have' been only words of commendation for tha manner in which -Secretary Taft haa managed tha Cuban affair, hut hla - Jab la mighty ticklish one and ther Is ever present tha possibility that ha may do something that will blast ibis political prospects. . If th American flag goea up In-Cuba the manner' of lta going, of course, will be mado th aubject of debate in Congress next winter, ana the President and Mr. Taft will have to show mighty clean hands if . they escapeDamocratlo denunciation. ; THE RETURN OF ROOSEyELT.' --, Washington will be mighty glad to see President Roosevelt when ho re turns to th White House next weak. Tha return of tbe President from his summer vacstion always . marka the neginning oi tne ouay wudb, pvuu cally, socially and In business way. Free American cltiaens may not like' to thlk so, but there Is in thla respect very Uttl difference between the President of the United State and tha ruler of an European monarchy fflhe old adage that where th king Iff there Is his capital holds very true la the case of the American President Tbe fact that Washington is th cap Hal, la Its chief, and almost it only, asset, and when tha aeat of govern ment, ia transferred to Oyster Bay Washington Is Jealous. " There have been a good many Dem ocratlo statesmen in Washington this summer, because th headquarter of tha Democratic congressional commit tee are here, but Republican states msn' have been scare. With th re turn of the President they will begin to flock to Wsshlnscton. The, bars were up at Oyster Bay, except to spe cially Invited guests, and only a fa vored few have had th presidential ear since the adjournment of Con gress. Thee Is never sny embargo on political visitors at the Wlte House, and during the next month Washing ton will have sn aspect very Ilk the one it wears when Congress la In session. The death in this city on Tuesday of Cot Isaac R. Hill, of Ohio, re moves one of th most Interesting characters the Capitol haa ever ahel tared. He waa a Democrat but waa kept on the pay roll of the House of Representatives aa a "special em ploye," and had been known and liked by every man who had served 1n eith er bouse of Congresa for ; nearly i quarter of a century. As a story tell er he had few equals, and many an anecdote that won the reputation aa a wit for some Senator or Represent tlva was borrowed from th Inexhaus tible stock of CoL "Ike" Hill. " Waahlngton's commercial boom really begins to look as If it might amount to something. With the re turn of prominent residents from their summer vacation tha Greater Wash ins-ton" movement ha taken on new life, and at. tbe present time a party of business representatives is on tour of th South for tha purpose of advertising tbe ntlonl eapltal and Its attractions..- Negotiations are on with a number of manufacturer for the location of planta in the suburbs, and aeveral Jobbing houses are soon to be eatabllahed. For many years ther Influentlal people of Washington have fought against commercialising tha capital, but a new spirit naa been born and tba days when Washington will be a residential city with no Industry aside from that of th -government would Beam to be numbered. TYPEWRITER PROBLEM SOLVED. Solved by Youth, Who Invent an Au tomatic carnage. Norfolk (Vs.) Correspondent? New Tork Time ; - - Robert Eugene Turner, an 1 1-year- old youth of thla city, haa Invented an automatic carriage for a typewriter which those who have seen It declare will aolv a problem that haa nussled the manufacturers of typewriter for yeara .- ... , It waa recognised long ago. experts assert, mat an automatic carriage re turn for a typewriter would add from 11 to jo per cent, to th speed of the operators. The manufacturers put ex pert on the problem of tha transfer ence, redirection and control of, pow er,-but none waa able to aolv it, ; , Mr Turner had hla attention drawn to the matter. Ha began to experi ment with drawing and for three yeara studied the problem at spare times, day and night. Ha finally solv ed the problem of regulating th pow er at all times, controlling and revers ing It at will by means of tha spec bar.. . ." - ..-, ;s . "My device Is very simple." Mr. Turnef said to-day, "and Can- b add ed to machines at a nominal cost. It will not affect th durability of the machine or add to tba cost of repair. its speed Is sufficient for all practical purposes. It increases th mechanical control of th carriage, making it un necessary for th operator to remove his hands from the keyboard aa he writes. - . ; , .; j h ;-'" ' "The mechanism cause the carrlsre to .return to th' Initial writing colnt automatically when th end of a writ ten line la reached, and also to return nonautomatlcally om any point In tbe line by pressing a special key.

'Whose talk dropped 1 Into a Jargon of half Visayan and Spanish " when r his thoughts ran back to the Malays In the southern carta of the Philippines, Tbe Englishman spoke never a word or commerce; his work had been, to keep raiding . Malaya within certain bounds. The - subterfuge , of "com merce": was shallow, The Dutchman on th south, th Englishman in the center, and 1 the American on - the north. had bee engaged In putting the respect of civilization Into the heart of the Malay. - Tbe three men had compared notea on the ateamer from Singapore to Shanghai, and to tnem the aubject waa old and com monplace; still "I wanted to know,' and the American told. me. ; V . THE INSTINCT OF PIRACY. "We all know." said the major, "what the brown man lose and what he galna when the white man tkea him and his country for hla own good, Minua liberty ,plus security;, minus money, plus schools; minus graft, plus strong-armed Justice;- and you continue the comparison forever. But your point, la, IS he really objecting to the process T No, he is not; and the fighting we' are doing to-day in the Southern Philippines ts the same thing the bluecoata are doing In New Tork and the mounted police of Can ada keeping order. The Instinct of piracy is as strong out there as ts th desire to "get rich quick ' at home The object Is the same, only the method Is different. When a Malay wants graft, he gathers together two or three restless spirits and breaka for the brush. Soon there Is a leader, tne nana makes a good , haul, and ap pucants ror memnershio soring uo llke imitators of new and successful gran games" at nome. The people complain, and that Is where we come along to put the matter straight. We kin tbe band, or the band kills us. and the papers at home carry six lines of sn engagement in 8a mar or Levte Two days later some editorial writer, looking through the files for some thing to do. stirs up the old Question of a' down-trodden race striving for u Deny, ana people got a wrong im pression. THE MALAY RAIDER. "Let me tell you a story of a Malay raider that will stand for the whole question in the archipelago and aa long as you remember it you will al ways understand what we are actually engaged in doing. First of all, the Malay, among other things, is crafty. ignorant, credulous and superstitious. and. therefore, excellent material for a leader craftier than the led. Such a leader wa Tsslo. "In his earlier days Tsslo shipped on Norwegian bark that drifted Into Baeolod on day, and served on her around the world. Three years later he waacback.ln his native land, -the jeiana oi negros, witn a smattering of foreign tongues, a fairly good ability in slelght-of-hand tricks and Ideals. Otherwise, hs was a worth less shore lounger. He pu t his Ideas to work, however, in the dlrec tlon of local graft; in other words, he took to the brush. His followers, a handful of village loafer were won derfully Impressed with his slelsht-of nana tricKs, and at the end fo two or three cattle-lifting expeditions and three months' time Tsslo waa a power He played for good stakes, and he played well. When the Sixth Infantry came to Negros, back In the early days out there. Tsslo had BOO follow ers. The band lived In a stockade village up In the mountains, and the whole countryside waa ,ln such fear of him that we.could not move twenty men witnout nis at once being Inform ed through natives, who thus hpped to earn his good will. He waa v In fallible. He waa "Anting Anting." or Invulnerable to bullets; he was the pope or a new cnurch and called Papa Tsslo; he levied tribute upon every farmer in the Island, and hta mountain storehouses were - bursting wun loot, ue neia religious services, during which he performed slolght-oN nana tricks, to tne utter consternation of his Ignorant followers, His was a name to conjure with In Negroe The young native women did not nave to be end ucted they came knocking at the doors of his stockade. This was the situation when we came along and began, to break up Papa Tsslo in his business. We had several engagement with hla men, and killed them by the score. We also took prisoners who gave us de tails of his methods. These. men were fully-confident that they 'Would soon drive up Into the sea. Fstlure never discouraged them. Death seemed to make the reststnore eager to fight us. The graft -wss so good that they were willing to fight hard for It They had 'Anting Anting,' and Papa Tsslo said they would win. CHARMS AGAINST BULLETS. "In the meantime he was selling charms against bullets at a dollar a charm. The method waa thla: Tsslo would hear our column was marching against htm. Hla first step was to prepare nis ambusn, ah the men were brought before him, and Tsslo stood beside two wooden boxes, on filled with strips of tape made Into a belt to hang over a man' shoulder and the other containing small feath er' Then th harangue began, Taslo would mak a few slelght-of-hand take a silver dollar out of a man s ear or push a aword through hls chest. ' nd th sal was on . Ant- king Anting' against the American bul lieu at a silver donar each. Put a belt, Inscribed with the mystic figures, over rour shoulder and - hold the feather In your teeth and you war aaf. " . v , ' 1 "Ths men bought, and Tsslo stack' ad the dollars in his boxes. The men went out to-fight and were killed. and Tsslo -explained It. He went to each' dead man and pointed out that he bad lost the feather. Naturally, tha chrro was broken if tha feather wa let fall' from the , mouth. HI men believed him, and the aale to th survivor would be" Just as successful. , 'The next time tne adjunct to th belt would b splll, to be ewallowed Just before going Into battle and. not Word spoken afterward., else the charm would be broken. This tlm Tsslo was Impatient with th surviv ors, v'' ''":-'. ; "What dtd I 'tell you i" "he asked the protstants. "To swallow th pill nd not to talk," , they answered. Well," continued 'Papa Tsslo, "these men are dead and lta clear proof that they spoke and broke the charm. It's J not my fault if you don't , follow la tructlons." ', I I "Each time the sale " of ' UntlnVfyTBS Anting would carry soma instruction of a Ilk nature, always-: leaving a loophole for "Tsslo id' save hi face and gather in more dollars. . ; DEATH OF PAPA TSSIO." "We finally killed Tsslo In front of the stockade,, but no native believes to this day that he la really dead. - II I in hiding, . they say.-and ha dele gated hi power for th moment to fa vorHe. lieutenant There is always a 'Papa Tsslo" In Neros, v although w have killed a half a dosen at dif ferent times, and the nam will suf fice any day to bring followers, anx ious for, the easy ura, out or tn vil lage and up Into the mountain fort resses. Then they raid, and then we send out, troops to break them up, The habit ia ingrained and you can't eradicate It We will have to ..con tend with, it in one form or another, aa long aa we stay there.. It Is noth ing lesa than a local axpresston of th universal desire to get something for nothing. . Whether the trouble 1 in Luson, Samar, Leyte, Negros, or the Vlsaya,; the . cause la the same and the results will - vary. - Sometimes they will kill us, and aometlraea w will kill them." . v The Engishman and '(he Dutchman concurred with the American major. and tbe Dutchman told of a tale of the Java brand. But that la outside of my territory, and it -was much th same anywsy. . . : , . ., V THIXKTNQ TOO 'MUCH. Danger of' Overtaxation of the Brain rotated Out by a Specialist. Washington Star,- . v- "The brain la man's most faithful friend and would be man's best com panion if he understood It better," aald a prominent specialist "I use the word brain to compre hend what wa term the mind and the process or thinking, and not as a physical object or a medium which direct our actions or through which we, or the animate spirit directs us. Just as theorists please to take it we will look upon it as thing with which we may hold communion and proceed upon fSAt hypothesis. "On th stage a prise idiot in the cast usually a young nobleman or a dude, alwaya ralsea a laugh when he speaka hla lines about the effort of thinking and the wearying effect auch a mental process produces upon his physical being. He really spesks a greater truth than either he or the audience takes In, for thinking Is an effort be -the thougth In Itself ever so frothy and ephemeral, and could we lessen the process of thought at will, as an engineer applies the air brakea to his train, much of the trouble and. disease In . life would vanish like the meadow vapor before the ray of the rising sun.
