There will be an honest count and a vigilant watch -it the polls to-morrow. Shall there be a full 'Republican vote? Tna man who votes any other ticket than that headed by Mr. Bookwalter or Mr. Maguire r-ra'.-tically disfranchises himeeif. Taggartlsm is not up for Judgment on a few details which its sponsors select and magnify, but for administration which has been generally bad and often demoralizing. Florists have evidently observed th ways I of the wily publishers. If "popular novels," why not "popular flowers?" The carnation Is evidently booked for a boom this season. Like its biff brother rxw in dire distress In New York, our little Tammany has the Police Court remit tines against lawbreakers to secure their assistance in the campaign. "We owned the negro when he was worth Jl.OCO on the block," was the remark of Mr. V. S. Ryan Friday night. If Mr. Ityan's friends can stand that sort of speech his opponents can. No sensible man will frive the least heed to any eleventh-hour charges affecting the character of Republican candidates. It i an exploded cuiiora of Democratic papers and of those who mail tardy circulars. The Democratic election commissioners have fixed the yotinpr places. In many of the Republican precincts, as far from the center of population as they could in the hope that Republicans will not find them. If any ni;n votes the ; !iilttion ti' k t to-morrow wIiom s-x-cond .Loire is the Republican ticket, or becaus- Ii.- U-sire.s the enforcement of law. he practically votf s for the man who prpses to pt.-rmit law violation. Staid citizens whose friskiness is a tiling of days gone by will gather from the papers that exciting events are taking place iu football circles. In other words, that there are irocxi times in the world and they're not In 'em. The present School Board has managed the business of the schools on strictly business principles. Three members of this effective board should bo re-elected on Tuesday namely, Moore, Sweeney and Sickels. Lieutenant Hodgson may b.j a man of deeds, but if that letter of his to Admiral Schley is any indication he is also a man of words many, many words. He should submit his manuscript to the blue pencil before giving it to the world. The names of the candidates for school commissioners are printed on a separate ballot. To indorse the good work of the present School Board place the X in the equaro opposite the names of Charles W. "Moores, Andrew M. Sweeney and Henry C. Sickels. To vote the straight Republican tick t tomorrow make the X inside the circle in which is the picture of the eagle, anil nowhere else. Then fold the ballot so that the Initials of the precinct clerks can be seen. Do not speak while in the booth as to whom you propose to vote for. It is bad ei.ough to have a war and light It out once. To have It served up again cold, not once, but twice, as in the Schley Investigation and in Alger's book, is a hard trai& on patriotism. It is enough to make the weary citizen wish the Spanish had never been "licked." A sjeaker said or: Saturday night: "We have n eflicient national government and an excellent State government." It may be added that if thoe who voted for the two good governm-nts will vote to-morrow by marking in the circle with the eaule, we fhall have a good citv government. On Saturday over J1..V v;is paid to street laborers, which is $1.1V above the average of the other months. Thus JUV' was usd to bri.'K- voters. Whn the controller stands Off th-. honest reditots of tli- city because the treasury is -mpty. what have taxpayers to say to the taking of the city's money to buy votes? Said Mr. Tagt-.irt to a Itepublican the other day: "Hookwalt r put his foot in lr when h sail that there were j.,om( ,,f rnpaid bills, beai:se he cannot find them. There Is u t onsM rable amount of unpaid bills." lie continued with a twinkle in his ye, "anl Hook will lin.J tle ni should he be de ted maynr." All of w hic h is very funny. -s-s-ssssssss-s--is-s-BSBSM-nsM-SMss-ssSBM-wsa-aB-w In exprsing a wlh that his oflli ial rs-i-nce be known by Its common name.

"White Ildüso," Present Roosevelt is :uotI as saying that every State has an "xeeuthe mansion." Mr. Roosevelt is wrong. Indiana has no such mansion. Us Governor is fimp 1 1-- 1 to go house-hurUing and tjke what he nn get when he moves to the cardial.

im: siMii.n issu:. T.iere i but one issue i:i the election of to-morrow: Do the people of Indianapolis de-sire two years more of the Taggart policy and methods in city affairs? Mr. Maguire's orators and orpau have bt ought Into the canvass irrelevant matters ia order to divert attention from the discreditable record of the past six years. Still, the one issue is: Has Indianapolis had enough Tagkarti.-m? Jn Sunday's Journal were given the outlints of the addresses of Republicans in whom the ma-s of the party have often expressed confidence. No candidate was abused in those speeches, but the reasons were plainly stated why the Maguire ticket should be beatrn to-morrow. It is not worth while to repeat those reasons in the Journal at this late day in the canvass. They must be known to every intelligtnt man in the city. There are, however, a few more important reasons which may be summarized. Under Mr. Taggart the bonded debt has been Increased $717,0"), or over 50 per cent. What have the people to show for it? The levy of GO cents on each $100 of assessed property was ample in lS3t to meet all demands for current expenses and redeem the floating debt of the Sullivan administration. When Mr. Taggart came in there was no floating debt, but a surplus in the treasury on a CO-cent levy. The present year the levy has been 71 cents, and, being lnsuflicient, the mayor has recommended 73 cents for next year. When he goes out of offlee he will leave a floating debt of $13.1,000. What have the people of Indianapolis to show for this increase of taxation and floating d-bt? Under an ordinance in conflict with the laws of Indiana the city controller has been issuing licenses to saloon keepers who have no county license, as the State law require??. Thus licenses can be granted to men who have been refused by the County Commissioners and in violation of the law which enables a majority of voters to prevent a license being granted to an obnoxious person. Do the people of Indianapolis desire to continue such a violation of the State law? During the past four weeks the pay roll of the street gang has been padded with tho names of hundreds of men, many of whom are physically unable to earn wages, so that the aggregate thus paid out to Suy voles is nearly $10,(hjO. This evil practice has increased every year under the Taggart rule. Do the taxpayers of Indiana approve of that sort of bribery at their expense? The city clerk, acting under t lie advice of the king of the regime, has been neg lecting to collect the fines imposed by the courts upon lawbreakers, and luring th past week quite a numljer of such lines were remitted by the judge, or acting judge, uf the Police Court. The nanus of sureties have been erased from the court records so that collection cannot be made Do the voters of Indianapolis approve oj this pandering to lawbreakers at the expense of the school fund? Do they approve of the nullification of the laws of Indiana against gamblers and other lawbreakers? If those who regard themselves as good citizens and patriotic men desire the.se :iluss ami crimes to continue tney can join the conspiracy against honest govern ment anil the laws of Indiana by voting the ticket headed by Charles Maguire. Illtl;ilT Hi:it 1II,ICA OITLOOK. The Republican outlook for to-morrow-has very much improved the past few days. Republicans who had taken little interest in the election have come to see the importance of turning Taggartism out of power. Many men who pay taxes have come to see th importance of a radical change in the management of the city's affairs. Because law is law, hundreds of voters desire to see an honest enforcement of all the laws with which city officials are charged. Compared with two years ago, the out look is decidedly In favor of the Republicans. Then the vote for mayor stood: Tag gart, 3S; Rookwalter, 20,011; McWhirter, iS. Thus, Mr. Taggart's plurality was o!7. Two years ago many Republicans resented the course pursued by Mr. Bookwalter's friends In securing his nomination; now all agree that the nomination under the primary election law was entirely fair and in accordance with the theory that the majority must rule. Consequently, the party is united, and, judging from the addresses of prominent party men on Saturday night in three meetings, Is in earnest. Two years ago the inspectors of election were of Mr. Taggart's choice. Those who renumber the peculiar turn in the character of the returns the night of the last municipal election, after 10 o'clock, have abumlant reasons to suspect that the returns in a number of precincts were manipulated In the interest of Mr. Taggart. Until 9 o'clock the returns, compared with the vote two years previous, indicated the election of Mr. Rookwalter by several hundred votes. Thereafter for an hour few returns were received, and the last forty or fifty precincts showed gains for Mr. Taggart. There is said to be proof In existence that a considerable number of returns were changed during the late hours of the night and the early hours of the morning. This year the inspectors arc Republicans, and there will be an Incorruptible watcher in every voting plate during the count. Two years ago the Republican ticket for councilmen at large was elected, and the Republican candidate for city clerk came within a few votes of election. A change of one vote from tho Taggart side to tho Bookwalter Fide in each precinct will this year elect the Republican ticket. If the Republican vote for councilmea at large should be the vote for the Republican ticket, and that of the Democratic ticket the same, to-morrow, as it was in lsi'J. t ho whole Republican ticket will be elected. 11 retofore several hundred Republicans have voted for Mr. Taggart on personal grounds. They did it because they liked "Tom." but thy will not vote for Mr. Maguire because they 1 i K Taggartism and tlie luise of every Republican who has ytood for office, and the Republican party p nerally. by such nun as (Jreen Smith. Mr. Taütfart has always had a lar;e oIured ote. Rec.-tuse of Rungaloo outrages upon colored men and women, and the declaration of Mr. Ryan that "Democrats owmd the negro when h- was worth Jl.'M) on the block." Mr. Maguire will receive very few colored votes to-morrow. Two years ago the Inhibition candidate

received votes, out the Prohibition vote in the city last November for President wa3

y, showing that 22 men who voted for the Prohibition candidate for mavor in 1'J oted for the Republican candidate for President in H'-j. The better organization, the absence of dissensions in the party, the certainty of a fair count, and the generally bad record the Taggart administration make the outlook for a Republican victory to-morrow far better than that of the Democracy. Rut every Republican should vote the ticket. Tim iMPouTANci: or a good START. An encouraging sign of the times and of returning sense among a class of American people is that public censure of the administration for delyy in withdrawing from Cuba seems to have entirely ceased. This censure was, of course, mainly for political effect, but for a time it was very pronounced. The national Democratic plat form, adopted July Z, 1 .,, demanded the prompt evacuation of Cuba, saying: "The war ended nearly two years ago, profound peace reigns over all the island, and still the administration keeps the government of the island from the people." Most of the Democratic platforms in different Stateä took the same position. A man who should now claim that it would have been wise or safe for tho United States to have with drawn from Cuba more than a year ago, or that either country would be better off today if it had been done, would be set down as a fool. The course of events day by day and month by month has demonstrated the necessity of continuing American intervention in ortler to insure the complete establishment of order and of conditions favorable to self-government by the Cubans. The time has been short enough in which to establish these conditions, but the work has been so well done that criticism of the United States has been silenceel everywhere. The latest step in the direction indicated la the establishment of new trade relations between tha United States and Cuba by the revised tariff which General Wcod has taken back with him. These new relations will be a long step towards reciprocity between the two countries, and the result will be that by the time the government of Cuba is turned over to its people they will be traveling on the high road to prosperity and will know that their prosperity is due to the United States. This will make Cuba a friendly power from the beginning, ami the prosperity of tin. people will be the best possible guaranty of the peace and contentment which are so essential to the establishment of a new government. Thus events are proving, and are likely to continue to prove, the wisdom of our deliberate and thorough policy in Cuba. It was very Important both to the United States and to Cuba that the latter should start right in the exreriment of self-government, and that she will every day now furnishes better and better assurance. FROM A 1'AltTY POINT OF VU'W. If there is a ltepublican In Indianapolis who is in doubt on municipal issues he should be determined by party and national considerations to vote against the Democratic candidate for mayor. Kvcry time that Mr. Taggart ran for mayor he ran professedly on local issues and his personal popularity, yet each time his election was claimed as a party victory with important pditical influence, and was heralded throughout the country as such. At home it was a victory lor "good government and business administration;" outside it was proclaimed as a victory for the Democratic party. Two days after Mr. Taggart's first election in 1W his local organ copied an artich from the Pittsburg Post saying: There is great encouragement for the Democrats in the news this morning about the city election yesterday in Indianapolis, the home of ex-President Harrison. True, it was a local eh-etion. but Mr. Harrison had given to the canvass a national interest and importance by recently writing a public letter favoring the election of the Republican candidate for mayor, yet the Democratic candidate was ehcted by an overwhelming majority. The Taggart rgan commented exultingly on this and said his election certainly did indicate "somewhat of the probabilities of the presidential election year." Two days after Mr. Taggart's second election, in 1S07. his local organ said editorially: If the gold bugs had held a convention in the city campaign and nominated some prominent member of their organization for mavor, like John P. Frenzel, or Sterling It. Holt, or William D. Rynum or Duncan Dewar, what would Mayor Taggart's majority have been? A day or two later it had an editorial saying: No fair person will question that the free silver issue was squarely tendered and accepted as the distinguishing political faith of the contestants. And Mr. Taggart put himself squarely on that platform, especially as to free coinage. Two days after Mr. Taggart's last election his local organ copied approvingly an article from an outside Democratic paper, which said: Indianapolis was carried by McKinley by a plurality of 7.(M. In the election of Mr. Taggart upon the Issues and the appeal of their own makinar the Republican managers of the municipal campaign are confronted with some very annoying questions. Are bis personal popularity and his clean and able administration alor.e responsible for the triumph of Mr. Taggart, or is Intliana returning to its former condition of an always debatable if not a Democratic State? In another editorial It spoke of the encouraging indications for Democratic victory throughout the country, and said: The fact is that the people are against the McKinley administration. They are against imperialism and militarism and the trusts and combines, and will say so with emphasis at the polls next month. Thus it appears, that each of Mr. Taggart's three elections has been claimed, after the result was known, as a party victory of state or national significance. Does any Republican wish to furnish ground for that claim being made again by voting for Mr. Taggart's man Maguire? It is no reflection upon their loyalty to the home yacht to say that a good many Americans would have been glad to se- the Shamrock win I:i the race with the Columbia. Mr'ly to vary the monotony and to prevent too great self-complacency on the part of American yacht owners, it would be well to have the cup spend a season on the otln r side. THE JESTERS. They Di.l.

Island of Curacao, Oct. C Yesterday a representative of the Associated Press interviewed Dr. Alejandro Urbaneja, president of the executive committee of the Venezuelan Nationalist revolutionary party, rgarding the political situation. Dr. Urbaneja is the virtual leader of the party and the personal representative of "Ul Mocho," Gen. He rnandez. He was a Cabinet minister under former Preshlent Crespo, and is a prominent lawyer. To-day he is in exile in Curacao. "The Nationalists until the present time," saiel Dr. Urbaneja, "have passively witnessed Presidtnt Castro's attitude and actions toward Colombia; but they are nowcompelled to protest against them. Xeithe-r the Nationalists nor the country at large have ever sustained the actions of Castro, actions which now promise an international war. The Nationalists do not desire war with a slst r republic, nor would they follow Castro in such a war. On the contrary, they, as well as the country at large, would refuse to participate. If Colombia had ever leally offende-d Venezuela, tluro would be no necessity for Castro's forcible recruiting, as at prest nt, in order to obtain an army to punish the oflVmling country. In such an event all Venezuelans would loyally and enthusiastically join to punish the offender. "1 lo not think President Castro will declare war against Colombia. Jn the first place, to do so legally he must obtain the consent of the Venezuelan Congress,' which will not convene before February next. In the second place, 1 do not beiiee the members of the Venezuelan Congress, although they are all partisans of Presielent Castro, wouhl ever consent to a ruinous war with Colombia in order the help Colombian i evolutkmists. Neither do I believe in the possibility of the reconstruction of a grand Colombia" by force of arms. Bolivar'ts achievement was effected under certain special conditions that do not exist to-day. Perhaps a grant! Colombia is possible through peaceful, intellectual operations, but never by .military forc". All the talk now indulged In on this subject Is a mere pretext, a blind to cover the personal ambition of a few men. President Castro lvcently ordered the imprisonment of all Nationalists in Venezuela. This eonrinecs me that he does not intend to declare war against Colombia, because, after eliminating the Nationalists, there would be comparatively few Venezuelans left who could be counted on to supply the men and money needed to wage hostilities against Colombia. "My principal reason for not believing a declaration of war would be made lies in President Castn's attitude toward the internal political situation. If he intended to (hciare war he would attenu-t to unite all Venezuelan of all political creeds In a solid frtmt against Ctdombia. Quite the contrary is the case. He is persecuting numerous Nationalists and the latter will before long lose patience, turn on their tormentor actively and in arms, and ieelare against him in retaliation. In the improbable event of his leelaring war against Colombia. President Castro would receive only the support of a few of the most extreme of his partisans. The others would tlesert him. "Concerning Mocho,' who is a prisoner at San Carlos, I can say that, notwithstanding his continuous solitary continement in a dark and unventilated cell, notwithstadlng tho chains on his arms and lgs, the lack of exercise ami the wretched food, his health is enduring the severe strain." V AVAR COMHDV." (erinttii 'V pnpers Kiilieule Hrpurtn from South America. RUR LIN, Oct. 6. The Hamburgische correspondent publishes the surprising statement that the Venezuelan consul in Hamburg, whose authority is the Venezuelan minister in Paris, declares the reports of war and revolution in South America to be false, ami that peate is undisturbed, adding that Pn-sident Castro beiieves such rumors are spread by tho United Stats in ortler to side track Kuropean interests likely to be obstructive to the endeavors of the United States in South America. The (Jerman press is generally sarcastic in dealing with the subject. The Lokal Anzeiger, under the caption, "A War Comedy." says: "While the Poers are fighting desperately across the Atlantic a military-political comedy is being- performed. War was declared. As soon as the Colombian troops shot to kill. VenezuIa sueielenly announced that nobody thought ofN war. and the Venezuelans minister in Pari was ordere! to explain to Ihirope. While it is true that the American press is ine lined to mislead Rumpe regarding Western affair::, it must be nmembered t hat President Castro's attack was re ported by a Pre lu ll warship. The asse rtions ,f the modern FalstalT arc futile." The Kleine Journal under the leading "An Imaginary War." says: "I-'or a fortnight the world was under the impression that a war was in progress iu Central and South America. The latest iipat hes s'uw this was only the imagination t,f the American reporters and that not a shot had l)e n fired.'" The National Zeitung says: "President Castro's statement is a strong imputation. Do all reports of e-onüic-t originate- in NewYork? Are not Mr. Hays notes more weighty? Can Venezuela make believe- that the powers have sent warships upon sensational rumors? Would Mr. Roosevelt before President MeKinU-y's deatli hav dealt minutely with the relations if the United States to the Colombian-Venezuelan ipiestitn without information?

SOME BOOKS OF THE TIME

Ux.PreHident llarrl-on'i Latest Allrepn, Lecture and Paper. For the increasing number of men and women in America who And all topics pertaining to this county a study of absorbing Interest the volume entitled "Views of an Ex-President" will prove a most welcome addition to t ho stuirces of information. This book of pages has been selected from the large numleer of addresses and articles that Gn. Benjamin Harrison delivered and wrote after ho retired from the presielency. Yet these- papers constitute but a small portion of the work that he performed during less than eight years. The first six articles embrace that remarkable course of lectures which he de livered during the spring of iK'i at Stanford University. In the introduction of his first lecture, entitled "Tho Development of the National Constitution," General Harrison said: "It Is not my aim so much to make lawyers as to promote a broad and intelligent American citizenship. Our civil institutions are safe only while in the keeping of a generation that loves them. it will b my purpose to show you the beauty, the strength and the adaptation of the Constitution of the United States, and thereby to make your love of ou institutions deeper and more Intelligent." Starting with the statement of Gladstone that the national Constituion is "the most wonderful work ever struck oft" at a given time by the brain and purpose of man," General Harrison denies that the Constitution is any such work as Mr. Gladstone has asserted; on the contrary, he declares that it is "a development the ripe fruit of experience, and not a discovery, not a revelation." In the book there is not a more instructive and entertaining chapter than that in which the writer shows the steps by which families became townships, the townships colonies, the colonies States, and States tne national government. The titles of the chapters immeeliately following are: "The Colonial Colonies," "Legal Aspect of the Controversy Between the American Cedonies and Great Britain." "Rarly Attempts at Union and the Union de Facto," "The Confederation." 'The Institution of State Govern ments. ' These chapters not only snow cue progress toward the national Constitution, but the fact that It was a logical necessity. In no other book will all this information be found condensed into lv pages of history and facts. Other writers could have stated these facts, but it is safe to say that no cmier writer lias given lile and color to such dry details. Following the Stanford lectures is the lecture to the University of Michigan, entitled "The Status of Annexed Territory and of Its Free, Civilized Inhabitants." which is admitted to be the ablest argument against the holding of colonies by the United States. Two papers printed not long before General Harrison's death in the North American Review complete the half of tho volume designated as Fart 1. Part 2 includes twenty-five addresses and papers, chiefly the former, which General Harrison delivered or wrote from time to time. Mrs. Harrison, who compiled the work, seems to have exercised excellent judgment in making the selections from the large number of addresses ami papers from which she has been compelled to choose. She has been fortunate in selecting such papers as show the remarkable versatility of her wonderfully gifted husband, The wide range of th topics which he considered appears from the titles of the twentyfive papers. They are as follows: "Somo Hindrances to Law Reforms;" ''Illinois Inheritance Tax Cases," an argument before the Supreme Court of the United States; "The Obligations of Wealth;" "On Returning from Washington;" "The Grand Army of the Republic;" "Militarv Instruction in the Public Schools;" "The Banquet of the New England Society in Pennsylvania;" "Founders' Day at Stanford University;" "On Presenting Mr. McKinley at the Tomlinson Hall Meeting in lvl;" "The Oreat Mass Meeting in Carnegie Hall, New York City, October, 1MM;" "A Talk About the Little Ones," an article in the Chicago Interior; "At the Republican Ratification Meeting," New York, Aug. IT. lsiG; "Compulsory Dishonesty," in the Forum. October, 1S:': "No Mean City," at the Indianapolis Commercial Club; "Abraham LinCoin;" "At the Banquet of the Union League Club, Chicago;" "Presentation of a Flag to Battery A," in the spring of 1S:'; "At the Banquet of the Society of the Cincinnati;" "Jn Rehalf of the Red Cross Society;" "At a Banquet f the American Chamber of Commerce, Paris;" "Opening Address as Honorary Chairman at the Ecumenical Missionary Conference;" "Farewell Address to the Conference;" "Response to Welcome of President McKinley and Vice President Roosevelt at the Ecumenical Conference;" "As Presiding Officer at the Indianapolis Railway Christian Association Anniversary;" "Hail Columbia," at the Columbia Club banquet, Indianapolis. This is a wide range of topics for one man to write or speak about, and alwavs speak wisely and at the same time entertainingly and instructively a learned argument before the Supreme Court, listened to by all who could crowd into the room of our highest tribunal, and read with careful attention by every lawyer of note in the land as ne extrem", and that "Talk About the Little Ones," printed in the Interior in 18. the other. If the argument was that worthy of the first lawyer in the land, the talk about children showed that he had been with them, and that he had considered all their trials inflicted bv ambitious parents and teachers intent oil educating them properly. The two political addresses which the volume contains were both lelivered in New York. True, he was Benjamin Harrison, of Indiana, but, more than any other man, he had convinced the metropolis that Indiana should be spoken of with respect, and, to ii.-e his own phrase, that the Postern hotel clerk, when the gueist wrote his residence "Indiana" upon ins register, no longer advises him not to blow out the gap. In all the lanI there was not a man whose speech on political topics called forth more eager listeners or was read with more care than that of ex-President Harrison. Not because they are the addresses of a Republican are those two speeches worth reading and rereading to-day, and ten or fifty years hence, but because they are the best models of political speaking that those who are seeking for instructhm in that line can study. The reader will note, first, the simplicity of the structure of his sentencesshort, concise, but full of meaning. There are no rounded periods, no attempt at eloquence or glittering epithet, no demagogic appeal, no "roasting" of his opponents, which is the blemish of political oratory. As a sample of peditical treatment that Is much more effective than personal assault and Imputing bad fuith, the following is given: "I have wondered why our Democratic leaders should hate an American smokestack. And yet they have in these campaigns described the American manufacturer as a thieving robber-baron. They have no terms but those of denunciation for him. I could never see why this could be so why it was an offense against society or the country for a man to build a mill and give employment to men and women at decent wages Inside f it. My countrymen, I wish I could banish epithet from our public discussion. I wish we could get our people to understand that when we have prosperous times they are good for everybody; not equally one may gain more than another; but when we have good times everybody shares them in his measure." Perhaps the greater of these two speeches delivered in New York was that of August, lSfKJ. There cannot be a more effective expose of the silver heresy. The argument is more merciless than sarcasm. Speaking of the merchant he s.dd that h can takecare of himself in the event of the free coinage of silver, because his dozen clerks with pencils could mark up his goods"but," he goes on. "theie are great numbers of people who enlist our Interest and some of them enkindle ur sympathies. Take the workingman: he cannot go to the pay redl with a pencil and mark up his wages; he has got to consult somebody; he must get another man's consent before l- can mark up his wages." The speech is full of such sentences as "the first dirtv errand that a lirty dollar does is to cheat weirkingmen."' General Harrison was always feüeitou in those brief addresses which se many speakers make tediousdy lng because th-y have not the faculty of b jpg brief and brilliant. A great many men hav spoke n to the veterans of the war for the Fniou whe n welcoming them to tlpir grat meetings. Such addresses are iisually fine specimens of stupidity. In General' Harri-on's wleome to the National lh. eampme-.it of the Grand Army, held in this city in S.-p-tembtT. lVe", may be found a ino-ie!. Thoe who liste lied to it will alwavs rt in be r Hp- marvelous effect it produced-too intense in absorbing interest to h,. ir.terr.'.pted by w.ld applause. "We w, h ome ou be -ausyou Itav th 'irdureis 'greatioss or things dope' the country.' great battle. in behalf of the The n. a f ; r re-f of the war in Hag and of rting to the wh!( Il those before him had participated he said: "I look into the faces of m-n bayonet's point, have pushed eountrv's enemies and haw who. at the P ick th ir planted itsflag en rebel ramparts. 1 look into thfaces of men who h ive sh- d thir blood and irpp'd thir limbs upon the battlefield, and who walk among us to-night maimed, dismembered, that the honor of the flag might be untarnished and the Union unbroken. Can Indiana fail to Welcome such?

Our hearts and our l"mes are open to you. If we bowed the kn-J- to any. it wouhl be to you. Can it be possible that, while the survivors of that g-Vat struggle are still with us, while theV walk ur streets, a

generation has com- m forgetful of their ! great achievements? Has the moth of avarice, the canker if greed, so -at-n into the hearts of this gt-j.eration that they are unmindful of thee rlen? God forbid!" In the.-e Iays, w.-n many nun sneer at the p'nsiomr. it -AOuld be- te their advantage if they could catch the spirit the seddier ex-President, expressed in thse words: "As long as God t;ave him strength of arm he wrought an-- ate the bread of intlcpenilence. Only w.len he b-cam- th veteran of time, wher.i the parallels of age grew close to the evaded of life, an-1 the arm that had wrought so bravely for ids country and so stur4ly for his family. bt its strength; only Ihth did he turn his hopeful eves toward th- government for relief." The phrase which General Harrison borrowed from St. Pan!, "no mean city." will be realled as lo.:g ;v men and women are proud of the citv wrie-li la- !ved so well. It was a happy thoutht. and has particular force because it was'taken from the Bible, with which Ge neral Harrison was so familiar, and with wfich very man must be familiar who is Ambitious to be an effective speaker. Th-J opening sentences of that address before t the Commercial Club will so illustrate hn forceful and happy orlgnality that they fire quoted: " 'No mean city.' "he apostle Paul, when he used those words was in the hands of a Roman guard that?hael come on th run to leliver him from! the Jewish mob: tho captain of the guaiil believed him to be the leader of a bail of murderers. Put be IUI not think re should be lyne bed. Paul appealed for identification and for consideration to the fact that he was a native of Tardus it- Cilicia a citizen f 'no mean city.' To Le ashame! of the city you live In is a lesss sorrow than to have the city ashamed of'vou, but still a heavy sorrow." General Harrison may be said to be one of the few conspicusis leaders In the' new school of public spejikers who use simple language and make; short sentences, but put a thought befolg each full stop. Tetlay no man is an effective speaker who ignores this simplify of structure and fullness of meaning.' This volume is cnmended to all those who seek a knowledge of the formation of this government, who desire to be inspired by the spirit of loty patriotism and f Christian statesmanship which pervades every page, and pai jicularly to those who are ambitious to acejiire the most effective methods of expression. The mechanical e.vj-cutlon of the volume is a credit to the ar of modern bookmaking, and is a testimonial to the taste and enterprise of our Tome publishers, the Rowen-Merrill Com f any. The picture of General Harrison isfan admirable likeness of the man as he appeared during his last years. Hndiellcr'K -I)rl nnd Irving Racheller as worked a pretty story out of the war of 1S12. "D'ri and 1" is not a great novel, but it ranks well with other American histiyical romances, and it is certain to be pojalar, for it is full of action adventures so thrilling that the reader feels tempted to finish the book at one sitting. Indeed the only faults that may be justly critlei-ed are the somewhat rapid succession of hairbreadth escapes and xemarkable experie-n'-es which the author has attributed to hi heroes. At least two of the incidents ars so Munchausen-like as to be almost beyond the pale of possibility. Most persons who read war romances like to have'the fiction so blended with the facts that ?they can imagine the whole story to be Reality, but no reader with a normal imagination can make himself believe all the adventures f "D'ri and 1" ever happened. The two heroes, however, were out-of-the ordinary persons, and lived in a time when every patriotic American had opportunitysto distinguish himself in deeds of bravery nd heo.ism. It was a history-making period of the nation's infancy, when, gallaitt, adventurous men found vent for tlieiif courage and energy; when "Dont give uit the ship" Perry and others were trieel ai'd not found wanting. And here, it may be J said, that Racheller s elescription at the gi'-at battle on the lake, where seeming lete;it was turned into an American victory, b one of the best and most vivid ever written in few weirds. "D'ri" was one of te heroes of the fight, and It was he who i-aved the tattered flag of the Lawrence afte;' he had been wounde-d and the vessel convirtc-l into a shambles. The "D'ri" of the s:-ory is Darius Olin, and "1" is Col. Ramon Lkll, who relates the adventures, which Mr. ? Racheller talls memoirs. "D'ri" is a topical Yankee woodsman, who accompanies the Reil family to the valley of the St. Lawrence, where the pioneers carve a new home out of the wiltierness. Ramon Bell is a mere boy when the journey is made, but soon develops Into a strong, handsome, young man, who has his Puritanical father's love of justice and patriotism, blended vith his French mother's gentleness. When the secoml war with the British breaks out young Bell and D'ri join the American army, and their career from then until the summer of 1S17, when President Monroe re 'iews the "sons of tho woodsmen," who ffught in the "North country," is of thrilling interest. "D'ri and I," who knew the wilderness and rivers well, are frequently chose n to lead or undertake hnzarelous expeditions ir lonely voyages. They oft-.n become separated and face death man:; times, but Mr. Racheller reunites them; with marvelous skill and extricates them' from perilous situation with a deftness that is sometimes amazing. D'ri has a dry humor and a grim determination to obey orelers that occasionally result in unexpected developments. He is profuse with expletives, but they are not of the Andrew Jackson kind. "Gol-dum it!" "Judas Priest!" and "Jerushy Jane Pepper!" are as near as he approaches to profanity. The modern historical romance is not complete unless a love story is woven through it. Mr. R.-cheller has done this in a pleasing way. Two charming French women, the gifted daughters of M. De Lambert, but ward-; of the Paroness do Ferre, who are vi iting the Chateau le Ray, the home of the Comte de Chaumont, fall In love with Ramon Bell while he Is at the chateau recoveiing from a wound received in a fight with the British. Loulson, the brightest and most captivating of the two, is a coquette; Louise is shy In comparison, more quiet in demeanor, but of a eleep, loving nature. Young Bell is enthralled by both. He finds difficulty in making a choice. When alone with Louison he almost succumbs to her witchery, but when with he gentle Louise the charms of the coquettish sister are" forgot-te-n, and he realizes that Louise will make the better wife. Louise finally reveals the depth and breadth of her love by offering herself as a sacrifice in order to secure her lover's release. Bell is captured by Lord Ronley, a lustful Rritish otficer. Into whose power Louisou antl Louise had once fallen, but whose release had been effeettd through the strategy of Reil. When Reil is captured the last time. Ronley sends a message to Louise telling her he will release Pell If Louise will surrender to his lordship. Louise btermines to save her lovers' life and cross-vs the river to Canada. In the meantime, Fell has been released, but is unaware- (if the terms. As he reaches the water's dgt, accompanied by Lord Ronley, he says: "God! there too: Louise. She was all in black, her head lnt forwanl. " 'Dear love!' I rie-d. grasping her hands, 'why why have you come here." "She turned her lace away and spoke slowly, her voice trembling with emotion. " 'Tcj give- my body to be burned,' the said. "1 turned, lifting; my arm to smite the man who had brought me then-. But lo! some strange hand -had sirutk him. some wonder-working pov er of a kind that r--moves mountains. Lrd Ronley was wiping his eyes. " 'I cannot do this thing.' said he, in a broken voice. I cannot do this thing. Take her and go.' " : Later, as the boat is about to be pushed off, his lordship sas: "Good-bye. I am a better man tor knowing you. Dear girl, j ou have put all evii r,l-t f me." Soon afterwards Bell is informed that M. De Lamb rt has come from Pari- to t ike his daughters home-. A-e-ompanied by D'ri. P-ll h a-ten-- te the chateau and lir.d.s th girls have been hurtled away. He begins pur.-ult. cafe-hes up with the chai-e containing the patty, and alr-v-st for- M.

The V"e terner-.. The scene of this flrst novtl by a new author, Stewart Edward White, is laid in the Black hills shoitly after its opening, when there was going on that hetrogeneous influx of population that always follows new-found wealth. In this land and in this period is laid the setting of "The Westerners." The two entral figures if the Plot are a young girl. Molly Lafond". growing to wumanhol In a rough mining camp, and Michael Lafond. a scheming, revengeful half-breed, h r suppose 1 father. In his younger days, Lafond had been wronged as he thought, and to r pay the injury he had cause! the leath d a young iradhr and had stolen her child during an Indian raid. If you wish to harm a person, tak away tlyit whie-h he loves best; but that is not life, a white man had told him. So the child was preserved and brought up on an Iralian reservation as the laughter of th half-breed. Mn asked few questions it those days. Wh-n the girj Molly wa almost a woman. Lafond came for her and took her to the mining camp of Copper Creak.

Tlie True Mother Goo. There se-ems to be something like a renascence of what might bo called classic childhood rhymes, the latest publication of the kind being "The True Mother Goose." If antiquity, celebrity and the approval of many generations establish classicism in literature these rhymes may surely be called classic. Just when r where they originated is uncertain, though cm- iaini gives them an American origin. In the year 10y2, so the story runs, Elizabeth Foster, a sprightly maiden of Cliarlestown, Mass.. became the wife of Isaac ( loose, x worthy Boston widower with ten children. With such a flock and six little ones of h r own following in due order, the oun mother Goose had all tdie could do to maintain harmony, and she was wont to repat for the delectation of the brood the old tales and songs and nursery jingles her mother and grandmother had breught with them from England and crooned above the cradle, together with fresh fancies of her own. In JT.Vj. the story toes, her eldest daughter, Elizabeth, of Roston birth, wuj married to Thomas Fleet, a Bristol printer, who had come to Boston In 1712 ami stablished a little priming shop. To make a long story short, Mr. Fleet, discovering that his mother-in-law had a great -dore of children's rhymes, det rmined to put them in print, and in lue time he brought nit "Songs for the Nursery; or Mother Goosj' Melody for Children. Printed by T. Phot, at his printing house in Pudding lane. Boston. Ehe Price, Z coppers." It must be admitted, however, t hat this story eif the rigin of the rhymes is not clearly substantiated and is strenuously denlcl. Another claim makes the rhymes of English origin and lirst reprint-d in the United States in lT'J. It is certain that the fullest and largest collection of the rhymes was fir.-t published In this country. Some mthers of the present day think they are too il!y "for any use," but nothing better lias -wr be-en written or is likely to be to inter t and amuse very little children. The piestilt volume. Issued by the A. Wessels Company. New York, contains th whole li-it "Little Jack Hono r." "Ding-Dong R II ' "Three Wise Men of Gotham." "The oiJ Woman Who Lived 1 ti a Shoe," "Hark Hark! Hear tho iH-s Bark." "Sir g a Soi.r of Sixpence." "Pat-a-cake. Pat-a-cako, Baker s Man." "Goosey. Goe.sey, Gander." and se-ores of dhrs.
