l!f makes fcr honor and honesty, for truth and for cleanliness: that public opinion Invariably condemns wronsr-doinK?1. public and private. ani metes out unstinted- approv.rl to high moral ideas and virtuous conduct; that tlie tjplcal American home Is the truardian of purity and peace; that In. America rellsion is held in honor; that the number of Americana who are earnest In toilinsr for suffering humanity, who are ever ready to sacrifice time and money in efforts to lift up the masses, to save from death 'the submerged tenth is legion; that Americans are amon? the most Renerous, the most large minded, the most public spirited men. Moral delinquencies and

moral pores there re In America, but are there not such thlnps in other countries and are they the evil fruits of democracy? AMERICAN'S PARIOTIC. "And. surely, there has been. In America, r.o lowering of the highest standard of yatrfotlsm. Where is the country at whose call for heroes citizens -with such speed, with such forffctfulness of pelf and In such .numbers rally round the flag? Soldiers ready to sacrifice life for country are never wantins: In America; no conscription Is needed to fill the ranks of army or navy. And with what valor and what skill American soldiers give battle! Defeat Is unknown In America: defeat Is impossible In America. Evils and perils exlit under every form of government: democracy must not be particularly blamed for rich evils and perils. And there are no evils which cannot be successfully combated in a democracy; there are no perils which cannot be successfully m?GTt&A In o i1iimrVMAtf T r Via rA amnntf the many a. true spirit of righteousness, a ilncere love of religion, a disinterested patriotism and no harm can come to the country or its people. -Be It the duty or Americans to foster in themselves and their fellow-citizens righteousness, religion, patriotism: be it their duty to foster an enlightened public opinion on all national and social questions and all will be well. "It matters little to me what the difficulties are that are said to confront us, be they political, social or industrial, I have no fear. I trust the good sense of the American people; I trust the power of American public opinion; I trust the freedom of the Republic, which allows healthful discussion; I trust American ju.nlce. and American respect for human rlgnts. born of America., democracy, to solve in due time every problem and remove every peril. With time for reflection, the people will proclaim the reJj-n of justice and charity; I fear only the effects of momentary passion and of tho rashness it occasions. Hence, the motto of Americans should be patience and prudence, and meanwhile energetic and unselfish work for country and for humanity, for righteousness and for God. "And whatever we do, whatever plans we form, whatever line of action we adopt, let U3 be mindful of one thing the American Itepublic. lie Is the enemy of all his own rights and of those of humanity who, by turning liberty Into license, endangers democracy, or who. In striving to repress license, brings In measures that are incompatible with a free government. Whatever might be the apparent and temporary gain, the harm done would be unspeakable, as liberty would be. driven from the earth. "The American Republic! She lives and liberty lives with her. The flag of the American Republic means liberty. Wherever it goes liberty goes with It. With anxious eye and throbbing heart we watch today the Journey of the flag of America tovard distant Isles: we pray for its safety and its honor: we proclaim that In Asia as In America it means liberty and all the blessings that go with liberty. Some fay it means In Asia the repression of liberty. Cod forbid! It means in Asia the institution of civil order, so that America, to whom the fates of war have brought the unsought duty of maintaining order in those Jsles. may see and know how are the people of the Philippines, who there have the righUto speak for the people, what the people desire and for what the people arc fitted. Civil order restored and it must be restored the flag of America may be trusted to be for the Philippines the harbinger and the guardian of the liberty and the rights of the people. "The American Republic! She will live, and with her liberty will live." ELIIin ROOT'S ADDRESS. Tribute to the Country Fishier The Philippines War. As ,soon as the applause which greeted the archbishop as he took his seat enabled President Wlckersham to be heard, he very neatly Introduced Secretary of War Root, who spoke In part as follows: "I am not unmindful that the easiest way to be interesting Is to be indiscreet, and that the most practical aids to oratory are expressions which, dropped In the heat of th event np; do not commend themselves to the sober second thought of to-morrow. It Is difficult, however, to be Indiscreet when ttw American soldier Is the theme." Mr. Root then drew a graphic picture of the willingness with which the American soldier has responded to every call of duty, from the day of Lexington, when every man behind a stone wall "formed his own disappearing gun carriage," to the days when he sprang to arms at the opening of hc-stllltles with Spain. He then turned his attention, to the Philippines, asking the indulgence of hi3 hearers while he recounted what the American army, now for the greater part In the Philippine islands, has dene In the island of Luzon, paying a glowing tribute to the brilliant work of Admiral Dewey and the navy In Manila bay. He spoke at some length of the difficulties confronting. General Otis when he was comJ tiled to confront two hundred thousand 'lllpinos with but four, thousand men who were entitled to their discharge, and paid a warm tribute to the volunteers who had given up their visions of home, to which they were entitled to return, and remained at the front until a new army could be raised and sent one-third of the way around the world to stand behind the flag. One steady unswerving purpose, he said, had run through every hour and every moment cf every day In Manila, and that was the upholding of the flag. "We have brought back of these gallant volunteers 17.0UO men," he said, "17.W0 are there now. 17,000 are on the way and another 17,000 is ready In the camps of this country. By the 15th of this month 49,0m) men will be under the orders of Otis, Lawton ami MacArthur. and by the ISth of the following month 65.000 will be there. Now what are these men fighting for? Are they fighting a Filipino nation? No. There Is no u:h thing. There are there sixty different tribes, speaking sixty different languages, and of these all but one wish to come under the control of the United States. Are we fighting all of this one tribs the Tagalos? No; we are fighting less than one-half of this nation. We are fighting against the selfish ambition of a military dictator who has been permitted to gather all the men In the Island discontented with Spanish rule and array them against our government, while we wrested the islands for them from the dominion of Spain. "The title we have to the Island of Luzon Is better than our title to Louisiana or Texas, and It rests upon higher duty to humanity. No American executive has the right to take one rod of land from under th-s sovereignty of the American people, and he will maintain that sovereignty in the Island of Luzon, come who may against It." Mr. Root then spoke In high terms of the character of the American soldier as a citizen, saying that hl3 services in this direction were more to his credit than any victory he had ever won. "I am more proud," he mid. "of Wood In Santiago, Wilson in Llatazas and Ludlow In Havana, teaching civilization to the people of Cuba and Porto WEATHER FORECAST.

Rico, than of any hero who ever stood upon a rampar.1 under a hail of shot and shell." He then spoke of the esteem and affection in which veterans of the civil war are held, and predicted that the time would come whf-n the American people will think as affectionately of the men lying in the trenches of Luzon as of the men who shed their blood on the fields of the civil war. He spoke in strong condemnation of the untrue criticisms and aspersions of the American arms which were being circulated for political effect throug-hout the country. "The men who stand beneath our flag in Luzon will be faithful to you," he said, "and I ask of the American people that they be faithful and just to them." "THE rilKSKXT ADMINISTRATION."

It Work Reviewed in a Striking Manner hy Senator Fairbanks. Tho Marquette Club is a Republican organization, and from the vociferous applause which had greeted every mention of President McKlnley's name and every allusion to the policy of his administration it was foreshadowed that the response of Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, to the sentiment, "The Present Administration," would be greeted with wild applause. The remarks of Senator Fairbanks, which were received with great demonstrations of approval, were as follows: "Mr. Toastmaster and Gentlemen of the Marquette Club: The present administration needs neither an apologist nor a eulogist. Ita imperishable record is written and is before the world. It la an administration of arduous deeds done, which lift it above the dead level of history. It has been confronted with greax questions of domestic policy; It has solved them. It also has encountered grave foreign problems, and well it has met them. No emergency has- been so great, or exigency so eevere that it has not been met on the high plane of national duty and national honor. "Few administrations ever succeeded to power with more weighty responsibilities or of which there were more exalted expectations. There were years of distress, years of hopelessness and crippled enterprise back of us. There was a Macedonian cry from all sections of the land for relief for deliverance. The administration was essentially pledged to the maintenance of the public credit, the public faith. Public credit is preserved; yes, it was never so high at home and abroad as it Is in this historic hour. "The first duty which was laid uion the administration was to secure the readjustment of the tariff, and the enactment of a genuine protective measure. To this end Congress was convoked in extraordinary session at the earliest practicable moment and a tariff law was enacted. It has served well Its purpose. It instantly gave confidence to enterprise, quickened depressed industries, and the signs and evidences of commercial activity were soon witnessed on every hand. Domestic commerce took on new energy and life, and our foreign trade soon reached and passed the high water mark of the successful and splendid administration of Benjamin Harrison. CREATED CONFIDENCE. "The determination of the administration to preserve inviolate the "public faith and Inflexibly uphold the gold standard gave an assurance and confiJenca to commerce that had all of the potency of the most solemn congressional enactment. Commerce knew that no chimerical monetary schemes would be allowed to "corrupt or tarnish the circulating medium while the present administration was in power. It knew that free silver coinage was, for the time being at least, as dead as the Rameses, and that In the light of practical experience the American people could not soon be led to adopt any of the current financial sophistries and heresies. "Prosperity came. It came to the seven-ty-ftve millions of American citizens, and In exceptional abundance. It came by the assurance of wise and conservative administration, by the enactment of wholesome laws, by the subtle touch of the magic wand of conndence confidence which in the final analysis Is the source of all progress, all success, and without which there is stagnation and death.. It came contrary to many fervent and unwise predictions. It came through the harmonious co-operation of the three potent - agencies a protective tariff, the gold standard and a sound, patriotic administration. Were the present administration committed to a debased free silver currency and to free trade the splendid transformation we have witnessed would have been an utter and absolute Impossibility, and the calamities from which we have successfully and happily escaped would have been but multiplied. "There were, indeed, domestic questions numerous and grave enough to absorb the attention of the administration, but it inherited an ample legacy of international problems of more than usual gravity. The national conscience was stirred by Spanish atrocities; the people could endure them no longer. The Cuban spectre would not down. All of the powers of diplomacy were Invoked to bring peace and order to the blood-stained Island of Cuba. There was no thought of war. no desire for war. No one knew better than the President the dreadful consequences of an appeal to the sword; no one knew better than he that nothing so becomes power as its sparing use. "While the administration was employing all possible agencies to secure peace and honorably avert war there -were many of our countrymen who were impatient to recognize the belligerency of the Cubans, the independence of the so-called Cuban republic, and were insistent that the conflict should begin. They challenged the patriotism of the administration and questioned is courage, although the President had gathered harvests of enduring fame upon the battlefields of his country. For humanity's sake the administration had appealed to the Spanish Cabinet in behalf of Cuba, but medieval government would not hearken to the voice of nineteenth century civilization. All efforts to mediate a pea3 having failed, the dread alternative of war alone remained. "A crisis was at hand, as sharp and severe as couil possibly confront the government; a crisis which comes but seldom in the life of a nation, and yet too oft. The administration with one hand delayed the oncoming storm while with the other it pushed with all possible dispatch the coast defenses, the purchase of munitions of war and the enlargement of the navy, which was to give such splendid report of itself. The crisis was supreme, and it was superbly met. When the order for action came the Congress of the United States, interpreting the heart and conscience and the inexorable determination of the American people, declared for war. Spain's fatal hour had come. The administration was prepared to execute the decree of Congress; it was ready to strike. The thunderbolt of war fell first in the obscure harbor of Manila, to-day the best known harbor on the earth. THE DEMAND OF THE PEOPLE. "The supreme demand of the American people was voiced In the order which flashed to Hong-Kong: 'Find the Spanish fleet and destroy it.' How well this order was interpreted and executed the world knows and history will cot forget. The intrepid Dewey, in one short hour, stood with the foremost admirals of all the ages. All honor to him; all honor to hl3 brave men. A nation's gratitude to them each and all. "An army of a quarter of a million of men was called from the myriad vocations of peace: organized, equipped and put in the field with almost incredible dispatch. No better soldier ever answered the call to arms. They were American soldiers, ready and eager to serve at the post of duty, counting no sacrifice too great in their country's cause. They came from the four quarters of the Republic. Federal and Confederate and their descendants stood" together in a common cause,' inspired by one hope, actuated by one high purpose, and that was to preserve a common inheritance, the glory of a common Hag. The Grants and the Lees: the Shatters and the Wheelers; the Lawtons and the Butlers, bore commissions from the same President. The administration and the country welcomed the disappearance of sectional differences. The Republic experienced a new birth of patriotism: and lot us hope and pray, is reunited and unified forever. "Dut it has been said with some unction that the administration did not desire war. Be it so. It is a grave matter to start the mighty enginery of seventy-five millions of people, brave and proud, though Just they are. Finite mind can compass the beginning, but omniscience alone can set the boundaries of its ending. It will indeed be a fatal hour for the Republic when the President of the United States shall love peace less than war. "The administration sought no sordid ends, no territorial aggrandizement. It sought no Napoleonic extension of empire; it desired only peace, with her boundless Joys, her limitless possibilities. Peace of which the country- had been so long enamored. It had added Hawaii to our domain through the Instrumentality of diplomacy and from the dictates of the highest statesmanship in the national interest: but it coveted no other lands and no other peoples. Hawaii were indeed trophy enough to signalize an administration. "The Congress with due deliberation and with exceptional unanimity declared war, and the Senate of the United States, after protracted debate, ratififd the treaty of peace. With the treaty came new and remote lands, new peoples, new and unexpected responsibilities; but they came as the logical sequence of war. and not as the fruit of its supreme purpose. The sword was drawn in the hirh and holy cause of humanity; It was drawn to liberate peoples from

barbarous, tyrannical rule, from horrors which disgraced savagery. OUR OBLIGATIONS. "By the articles of peace, Porto Rico is ours, to be administered as an exalted sense of Justice shall require. Cuba is committed to ui In trust, and is to be given stable and suitable government according to., our pledge. The Philippines are ours, by title absolute, unassailable. They have come to us and are ours by right universally "recognized among the nations of the earth. They passed to the Jurisdiction of the United States by the cession of the treaty of peace, duly ratified and exchanged by the two powers engaged in war. With the extension of our sovereignty there came the duties which American sovereignty implies the enforcement of law and order, the preservation of the peace. A portion of the inhabitants of the islands denied the supremacy of the United States in the archipelago. They cnallenged the exalted purpose of the government; they wantonly fired upon the American troops pending the ratification of the treaty of peace. Without the pretense of provocation or the shadow of Justification, they have assailed the flag whose mission is merciful. The administration resisted the attack and did what the people of the United States desired it should dolt did Its duty by asserting the supremacy of the national auti.oritv by force of arms. "Our forces in the Philippines formed no league with Agulnaldo made no compact with him for subordinating the authority of the United States to his self-constituted dictatorship. Our peerless captain of the seas added Imperishable glory to the American flag. He could not have surrendered the field of his incomparable victory to the insurgent chieftain When the administration overthrew the Spanish authority in Manila It owed a high and solemn duty to the Americans, the British, the Germans, the French, the Spaniards and other nationalities In the archipelago to preserve them from massacre and to save their homes and property from pillage and the torch. It could not have withdrawn its support and left to chance the protection of the thousands of citizens and subjects of the leading nations of the world who were there under the guardianship of the Spanish authority. "It would not have comported with the dignity, the Justice and the mercy of the Republic for the administration to have recalled our victorious forces, lest by staying we should assume some unexpected responsibilities. Such a policy would have been dastardly ar.d would have dishonored the flag, which is without Its first blemish. Yea, more than that. It would have been the master crime of the age. "Moreover, we can never forget that we were under a large moral obligation to the peace of the world, which an abandonment of the Philippines would have placed Inevitably In serious peril. THE QUESTION NOW. "We are not now concerned with questions of Imperialism or of expansion. We are occupied with the paramount question of enforcing respect for the national authority, of suppressing a rebellion against It. Opposition to our authority, wherever It has been extended.under universally recog

nized law, is rebellion, whether it Is In Illinois or In the Philippines. We have an Irreversible and Irrevocable code of national duty; the flag must be protected wherever it is lawfully raised. What American can demand less? "We wish the war had been honorably averted, great and splendid as have been its results, but in God's providence, that was impossible. We could not desire to avoid any of the responsibilities or duties which Justly devolve upon a victorious army; a country brave enough and Just enough to go to war in humanity's name, must be Just enough and brave enough to accept the consequences, whatever they may be. To attempt to escape the burdens fairly arising out of our own course and conduct would earn for us the reproach of the civilized world, and the forfeiture of our own national self-respect. We have but one way to go, and that is In the path of duty. There all honor lies. "Until the insurrection ends there is but one duty before the administration, and that Is to conquer It. The supremacy of the United States must be acknowledged. In the felicitous language of the President: 'There will be no useless parley, no pause, until the insurrection is suppressed and American authority acknowledged and established.' More than fifty thousand soldiers at the front and now upon the seas emphasize the aggressive purpose thus expressed. When peace Is restored, then will come the discussion of our future relations to the Filipinos; then will come the question of granting them, through the wisdom of Congress, the fullest measure of self-govern ment and the amplest liberty, consistent with our duties and responsibilities, and with their needs and their capacities. They are not the truest and wisest friends of the Filipinos who counsel their further resistance to the authority of the United States. "The administration has been able, well poised, firm, courageous, avoiding no responsibility and shunning no duty. It has been an epoch-making administration. It has walked in untried paths, with no guide except the national conscience. It has observed the fundamental truth that In a republic the people are the source of all power, and It has taken them into its confidence in the fullest measure. Its north star has been the people's will. It Is clean. The atmosphere which surrounds it is wholesome. A high sense of civic duty characterizes all branches of the public service, and the public business Is dispatched without friction and with fidelity. FINANCES WELL MANAGED. It -has managed well the finances of the government. Illinois Is entitled to her full share of credit for this, for she gave to the administration a secretary who ranks with the foremost secretaries of the treasury; with Hamilton, Gallatin, Chase and Sherman. His mastery of the science of finance enabled him not only to preserve the credit of the country from the shock of war, but to advance it to the highest point eer attained. The ordinary fiscal requirements of the government have been promptly met and the war chest has been amply supplied. Bonds have been sold upon terms better than ever have been obtained for either the purposes of peace or war. The money came from the pockets of the people. The capitalists of Europe were eager to take them, but there was no need of their assistance. Syndicates at home wished to subscribe for them, but the reliance of the administration was upon the great mass of the people, and how splendidly they Justified Its confidence. Their only regret was that they could not give the government. In the hour of its necessity, millions more than were required. "The United States never stood higher in the esteem of the great powers of the earth than now. Her Justice, her magnanimity and her power have become manifest to all. It is, indeed, of the utmost Importance that our country should sustain relations of amity with other countries. Our commerce is expanding and more than ever seeking distant markets. Nothing will more distinctly aid in Its extension than the existence of cordial relations with foreign peopies. We must win our way to the command of the world's trade by compelling, through our course and example, the world's respect. The administration has scrupulously observed our international obligations. It has been no less regardful of the rights of other nations than it has beer, rigidly insistent upon the recognition of our own. It has cultivated good neighborhood with all of the great powers, and to-day there is no nation with which the United States is not upon terms of cordial relationship. It has sought no political or entangling alliance with any power; it is bound to none except by the ties of commercial interest and mutual respect. Our relations with Great Britain, Germany, France, Russia and all the other powers presage an increased interchange of commerce and the mutual exchange of the rich fruits of a higher and better civilization. "Existing questions pending between the United States and any of the foreign nations will not disturb their peaceful relations. They will be adjusted through the channels of diplomacy, with wisdom and patriotism and upon terms consonant with the dignity and honor of the powers concerned. "It is a happy augury that we shall enter the new century under an administration which has stimulated patriotism in the hearts of the people, filled the land with the blessings of prosperity, the homes of our countrymen with joy and contentment, enlarged the zone of human liberty and crowned the closing years of the old century with such tremendous achievements for the welfare, the honor and the glory of the great Republic." President McKlnley's brief speech followed Senator Fairbanks'? address. James E. Boyd spoke on "Republicanism In the South." Ills address was received with much applause. The last address of the evening was made by Judge Howland J. Hamlin, of Illinois, who spoke on "The Patriotism of the West." Insurance Herald Sold. LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Oct. 7.

MARION, Ind., Oct. 7. The second day of the annual state convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, which opened a four days' session in this city yesterday afternoon, opened this morning with the largest attendance of any previous convention in the State. All the delegates are in, numbering over 400, and . the state president. Mrs. McWhirter, seated it was the first time that delegates had been found too numerous to handle. Mrs. Amanda T. Whitson, state treasurer, made her report, which was distributed in printed form among the delegate's. An Increase of 945 members in the State was announced. The receipts for the year -were $3,!Si77. There i3 a balance of 1335.92. State dues gave $2,567.43. Flfty-rtwo counties In ninety-two have gained In membership. This year 2C4 unions paid dues and 204 showed an Increase of membership. There are sixtyeight counties organized and twenty-four unorganized. Grant county is the banner county. Mrs. Eunice Wilson, of Grant, was Introduced and was tendered the Chautauqua salute. She reported a membership of 405, an increase of 168 for the year. Miami county showed an increase of 124. The North Manchester union was the banner local union, showing a membership of one hundred. Lafayette union showed ninety-one members, and has increased her number to one hundred since sending in her report. The Meridian Union of Indianapolis showed eighty-five members. The presidents of these unions were called forward and the ladies gave them the Chautauqua salute. Mrs. Ward, of Peru, was presented as having secured the largest number of members for the union. She pinned white ribbons upon fifty-two ladles during the year. She was tendered the Chautauqua salute. Mrs. Whltson's report was accepted and the officer tendered the convention s thanks. Miss Anna Gordon, national vice president of the W. C. T. U.. was made a member of the convention. It was shown that the institute work had added 236 unions to the State forces. The receipts for institute work were jcr2.42, while the expenditures were $as.73. The report was made by Mrs. Mary Hadley and she was thanked by the convention in accepting her statement. The treasurer, who has had charge of The Message, the State organ, made a report on the aftalrs of the paper. The Message has been carried on by the State officers and its subscription has been increased from 1,500 to 2.3C0. An effort was mado to add a bylaw providing that the subscription list fo The Message in each local union shall equal the membership of the union, and in case the funds were not otherwise provided for the money should be taken from the local treasury. There was a long discussion of the question and the by-law was voted down. The convention then named a committee of five to take charge of the management of the State paper. The committee is as follows: Mrs. Sims, Mr3. Beck, Mrs. Geary, Mrs. Worthley, Mra Vyhinger. Mrs. Carr. one of the supreme officers of the Ladles of the Maccabees, was introduced and presented fraternal greetings. -A message from the Illinois State convention, now in session at Hoopeston, was read and greetings ordered sent to the Illinois convention and also to the Iowa convention, which is in session. Friday night the Loyal Temperance Legion, the boys and girls, had the programme to themselves. Tho president, James Gipe, of Indianapolis, a sixteen-year-old lad, made a strong -address to the Immense audience that attended. Miss Anna Gordon, national superintendent of the L. T. L., gave an hour to a discussion of the work she represents. The ladies of the W. C. T. U. state convention had on hand to-day a problem which was not definitely settled. The Hadley Industrial Home,-located near Danville, Ind., an Institution supported by the State W. C. T. U.. was the subject tunder discussion most of the morning.' Its maintenance during the coming year Is the problem. The ladies have not faltered in the work of establishing and keeping up the institution, which, as Is shown by the report, does a remarkable work among the unfortunates and forsaken young women of the State. Thirty girls are preparing for useful lives at the home at this time. Additional buildings are needed at once, and the State Union must provide for their erection before snow flies. The running expenses are estimated at 51,742, and this must be provided by the ladies. The estimated cost of the improvements needed is $1,000. Robert Cammack, who has donated liberally and who has taken a personal Interest in the work, spoke on the subject of the institution. The managers reported on the affair 3 of the home and their reports were accepted with thanks. A motion to provide funds by each member laying aside a cent each week was up for discussion and was opposed vigorously by many. It was left in abeyance until the committee on plan of work should report, and the general discussion was shut off by the young president of the L. T. U., who Insisted that the time set apart fcr the legion's convention should be allowed. TUB L. T. L. MEETING. Master Glpe called the Legion's meeting to order. There are two thousand members of the L. T. L. in . this State. The report showed that the treasurer had a balance on hand. Fred Carter, recording secretary of the State L. T. L., read his report. The executive committee adopted as a motto the words "We Work to WTin." It was decided that the New York course of reading should be adopted. Secretary Fred Carter reported on narcotics. The report advanced argument against the use of cigarettes; Mrs. Drake, of Fort Wayne, spoke on the work of the Anti-cigarette League. The A. C. L., Mrs. Drake said, would insist upon having its place in the next "W C. T. U. Mrs. Haupt, of Wabash county, told of the L. T. L. chain, which is a petition against immoral pictures in connection with cigarettes and tobacco. It was suggested that this petition be sent to the next session of the Indiana Legislature. The L. T. L. banner wa3 presented to Allen county, which had organized the largest number of legions during the year. Allen county has five legions, with oio members. Miss Anna Gordon stated that five States had been organized as State legions. She spoke eloquently and stirringly for the encouragement of the young people. The L. T. L. convention was cl06ed and the W. C. T. Ut president again took charge. At the conference of the Young Women's Christian Temperance Union this morning a plan of work was adopted. Miss Sears, the secretary, presented the following, which became the plan for the state "Y." The work is divided into four divisionsevangelistic, social, purity and scientific.

Judge Culberson Telln Ilovr tle PolycamUt Mar He Kept Out. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. Speaking of the almost unanimous protest made against the seating of Representative-elect Brigham II. Roberts, of Utah, the alleged polygamic, former Representative David B. Culberson, of Texas, for a number of years chairman of the Judiciary committee of the House, said to-day that he would not be at all surprised If objection was made against Roberts taking the oath of office. "It is a simple matter," said Judge Culberson. "The roll of States would be callM in alphabetical order and the delegations of representatives will appear In front of the speaker of the House to take the oath. Nearly all the members would be sworn in before Utah is reached and when Utah la called and Roberts appears all that Is necessary would be for some member to say. I object, Mr. Speaker," and tho speaker would then request Mr. Roberts to stand aside. "During my service in the House I have seen several representatives-elect from the South stand aside because of an objection. If objection is made to Mr. Roberts taking the oath his- certificate of election will then be referred to the committee on elections, which In turn will make a report to the House on the matter of the objection. Then the question of seating Mr. Roberts will come before the House for action." The House, Judge Culberson said, is the sole judge of the qualifications of its members and it can say by a majority vote that Mr. Roberts Is not qualified to act, although there should be no flaw in his credentials. The Postofllce Department has been informed by tho postmaster general of Mexico that a convention has been approved by the Mexican Senate whereby a mutual exchange of money orders will be carried on by th two countries. The agreement will take effect Jan. 1 next. The amounts of the orders drawn "n Mexico are to be converted into United States money at the value of such money quoted in the City of Mexico on the day of Issue of the order and in like manner the amounts of orders drawn in the United States are to be converted into Mexican money. Admiral Dewey has chosen J. W. Crawford as his official secretary. Mr. Crawford Is an employe In the office of the Judge advocate general of the navy. He will hold the rank of lieutenant In the navy. Provision for a secretary of this rank was made in the act which granted such assistance to Admiral Porter, and as the law has never been repealed the department holds that Admiral Dewey may enjoy the same privileges as his predecessors of rank. PRESENT FOR CARNEGIE. Steven Institute AMU Give Him a Piece of the First T Rail. NEW YORK, Oct 7. The Alumni Association of Stevens Institute, Hoboken. has decided to present to Andrew Carnegie a souvenir in return for the gift of $50,000 he recently sent to President Henry Morton for the erection of a laboratory. "We realize, said Prof. Morton, "that to present to Mr. Carnegie anything of Intrinsic value would be foolish. We shall, therefore, give him a piece of th first T rail ever made. It will be invaluable as a relic, because the T rail was invented by Robert L. Stevens, one of the Stevens family who founded the Institute. Tho rail In question was made In Wales at the mills of Sir William Guest. That rail has been carefully preserved We have secured a piece of It six Inches long. We shall have made for It a casket In the shape of a jewel case, which will be of unique and artistic design. The piece of rail will bo appropriately Inscribed, and will be accomoanied with documents establishing its authenticity. It will then be sent to Mr. Carnegie." Cures Simple and Complicated mm From the first flush of Fever to the uiost dangerous forms of grip. From the first Chill or Shiver to dread Pneumonia, From the first Hack or Cough to Bronchitis threatening the Lungs. From the first Tickle or Drynes3 of the Throat to Diphtheria. From Cold in the Head to the most violent Influenza or Catarrh.
