aaTaaTaaa9Ja9JsawaSaawaasaaawawaaaw m m CURRENT COMMENT. There are two kinds of peo ple in this world those who do things and those who criticize those who do things. The latter, in or der to cut any figure at all, are com monly forced to try to make up in noise what they lack in numbers, as may be seen in current discussions of the Panama business. Providence Journal. II Senator Hanna, however, is really cherishing a purpose to try for the nomination, ho oan un doubtedly exercise a most disturb ing influence, even if he falls short of grasping the prize. He is a fa vorite with an element of the Be publicans which had to accept Mr. Koosevelt in 1900, and which simply accepts him now, supporting him only because he is in office. Boston Transcript. With the possible exception of Senator Tillman of South Caro lina, there is no one in either house of Congress who can compare for a moment with Senator Carmackof Tennessee as a master of elegant blackguardism in the guise of ora torv. There is more finish to Car- mack than there is to Tillman, but tho foundation stone of pure black guardism is to be found under the stvle of both. N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. To one argument there is no answer. The treaty is made neces sary by the Piatt amendment which was adopted, under our insistence, bv the Cuban constitutional conven tion. It 1b too late now to discuss the wisdom or the policy of that amendment. It is a fact accom plished, and it limited the power of Cuba to enter into commercial trea ties with other countries than the United States. We can hardly for bid her to do that and refuse to make this commercial treaty which gives her access to the world's trade through the United States. San Francisco Call. America, the classic land of patent medicines, is also the happy hunting ground of the mind cure. America, the great exponent of un resting, unthinking hustle, is also the great world prey of those orien tal systems which neglect matter, a ad which retire into the recesses of the spirit. Are not these things consequences as well as antitheses of each otnerr .New tnougnc cannot ba despised or disregarded. It rep resents a revolt from materialism. It la sometimes funny with an ex oaedingly great funniness, but it is always startling indication of the lengths to which our presenLmate riallsm will drive the revolted soul. Clricago Tribune. The Atlanta dinner at which Governor Terrell, the two Howells, f ither and son, and the Hon. John ' Temple Graves, all exemplars of the loquaolous life, were gagged by a promise, secured when the invita tion was extended, not to speak, was -a cruel affair. One might as well expect a warhorse not to neigh at the scent of battle as theso tongues to keep their sheaths when the worldly warfare commenced about them. How the quartette must havo suffered! What effort must it have taken to keep the larnvx still I Yet Atlanta is hardly to be blamed for resorting to such an extreme. it was the only way. There are other communities, similarly in fested by the brood of hair trigger talkers, who will feel the tug of temptation to imitate.

In one of the most tiresome and uninteresting fames ever witnessed on Ifranklin field, the West Point eleven to day de feated the Annapolis team by the score of 40 to 5. Two miserable fumble la rapid succession gave the navy their only score. As a football game it was a dismal failure, but as a society func tion it was a glorious success.

Tba navy won the tots and chose the west goal with a slight wind at their backs. In less than ten minutes play thev had scored their only points Graves kicked to the navy's 15-jard line- and Howard returned the punt. A fumble gave the navy the1ll on the army's 45-yard line. After two at tempts to gain through the West Point line, Howard kicked to the army's 15-vard line. On the first play there was anotner' inmnivia me army uno and Btrassburger fell on the ball. Chambers was then called upon to try a goal from placement for the navy. t was a very aimeuu angle, out me ball sailed straight between the posts and tbe cheering section of tbe navy stand simply went wild. Caps, canes, megaphones ana almost everything movable within reach was thrown in tbe air, while on the opposite side of the fieldl tbe army boys were very quiet. Their gloom was soon dispelled, however, for within a few minutes the army bad crossed the navy's coal Ine. On ao exchange of kicks, west Point secured tbe ball on the navy's 80-yard line on a fumble The heavy West Pointers then tore big holes in the Annapolis line and soon pushed nail over ror a toacn down.

Davis was showed over for the second touch down and Thompson kicked goal. Tnere were several exchanges of kicks and West Point secured tbe ball on the navy's fifty yard mark. On the next play Prince broke through the Annapolis line and by beautiful dodging scored a third touchdown. Doe kicked tbe goal and the half end ed a moment later.

Rheumatism Rings. SuffererB from rheumatism who believe they will be cured of their aches through wearing a certain kind of metal Ting would be sur prised perhaps to hear that they are keeping alive an old superstition that owed its origin to one of the ceremonies performed on Good Fri day. The ceremony was called the "blessing of the cramp rings" and was carried out by the king himself, who went into his private chapel, accompanied only by his grand al moner, crawled on his knees to the crucifix and there blessed a silver bowl full of gold and silver rings. These rings were afterward distrib uted to people who were afflicted with rheumatism and epilepsy. The idea is supposed to have originated in a certain ring given by a pilgrim to Edward the Confessor, which was kept in Westminster abbey and used as a cure for such ills. All of the Same Religion.
