WO shall be born, jthe whole wide world apart, : - And speak in different tongues and have no thought 0 Each of the other’s being and have no heed, =T | And these o’er unknown seas to unknown lands Shall eross, escaping wreck, defying death, il And all unconsciousiy shape every act to this one end— That one day out of darkncss they shall meet { And read life’s meaning in each other’s eyes. i

‘And two shall watk some narrow way of life So nearly side by bide that should one turn | Ever so little space to right or left, e They must stand ackaowledged face to face. And yet with wistful eyes that never meet, With groping hands that neyer clasp, and lips Calling in vain to ears that never hear, They seek each other -all their weary days And die ‘unsatisfied—and that is fate.

According to the seeming well authenticated reports from Washington “the principal feature of the republican national platform will be the tariff plank, which will declare in the stFongest terms the adherence of the . republican party to the principles of protection, but will not bind the party " not to revise the tariff. It will say that the party is not committed to any ~ schedule, but that changes should be made only when changed conditions ‘of business or the treasury renderit necessary or advisable. Persons present . at the recent conference say it has already been agreed that the tariff will ' berevised in the Fifty-ninth congress if the Republicans win in November. - There is a determination to.make the platform as brief as possible. Consequently the indorsement of the administration and the acts of the party will be’putin compact form. This indorsement will be a géneral approyal of the course of the president and of the actions of the Republicans in congress. . 4 : O RRR RRR | " The nomination of Hon. Geg. W. Self of Corydon as Clerk of the Supréme Court by the Republican state convention was a well merited recognition of an excellent gentleman, an old soldier and a constant Republican. The writer had the honor to serve with Senator Self in the session of 1895 of the General Assembly, and there -were few men in that body with stricter integrity, broader views and better good fellowship than Geo. W. Seif. llf a Republican is to hold the honorable and important office that has been assigned to Senator Self, we know of no one that we would rather find in the position. i ‘ : : ®RE BRRR THE tribute paid to Mr. Cannon at the close of the session of Congress has attracted much attention by reason of its warmth and spontaneity. The New York Evening Post thinks this is due to Mr. Cannon’s pieturesque character. It says: . What endears Mr. Cannon to his colleagues on both sides of the House is not simply ‘his fairness and unfailing good humor, but a quaint and picturesque quality all his own. What in another would be affectation or posing is .in him the spontaneous overflow of a very sincere and rugged nature. His odd phrases go with a certain sort of whimsicality of the mind, while his homely simplicity and directness breathe the genuine man. There is method, too, in his-homespun bluntness. He gets things done that the masters of strategy and circumlocution would failin * * * Such public men, brimming over with originality and smacking of the soil, are lovable, as “we see, but are they powerful? Is picturesqueness a Possession which will make a man go far in politics? It may well be doubted. Such men we accept as characters—national institutions, if you please-—but we do not take " them as leaders. Indeed, we instinctly resent it when there ig talk of Seizing upon a picturesque public man and making him king. et 2RE ORRR The fact that our Federal revenues are raised by indirect methods blinds . beople to the amount they are contributing te the support of the government. But this is not the only ill effect,as the Philadelphia Record points out: The appropriation of $800,000,000 by the Congress justadjourned involves ‘a tax of about gu}fa-,f)ead, or $6O a famnily, in the United States. As taxation for national,purposes is direct and is unconsciously borne by the taxpayers " so long as business is good and the people are fairly prosperous, no heed is given to extrayagant expenditure. The picking of the pockets of the people, however, is none the less calamitous because it is done 8o deftly that they are unaware of their loss. 'That, indeed, adds ‘to the iniquity of the transaction. The vast sums of money gathered in the Federal treasury and paid out again, even for unwarrantable purposes, tell but half the story of ex--action. The culmination-of fiscal atrocity is reached in the laying of taxes which are called by favored int%reé’ts through the agency of trusts and comr - binations, no part of which is used in defraying the expenses of government. It is against this form of robbery that the democratic party will make its main appeal to the people of the Union in the coming campaign. * - At LaFayette last Sunday Rabbi Morris Fuerlicht, well known here, in discussing the ‘‘Lessons of the Local Election,” entered a protest against the persecution to which Henry Rosenthal, te republican candidate for mayor» was subjected in his recent unsueccessfukrace for mayor, his creed, accordng to the rabbi, alone éausing his:defeat. The rabbi denounced the man who deliberatly broke his oath to support the constitution by voting against freedom of though and worship and urged the inauguration of a campaign of education that would restore the fair name of the ¢ity because of this defeat. = & = - - el ‘ ' 2RRBRRR . | - A special from Richmond, Ind., states that Dr. J. M. Boyd created a sensation” before the County Medical society by a statement that the birth ‘ rate in Wayne county and the city of Richmond .is less than France, which stands lower than all countries of the world. Race suicide in that portion of | Indiana, Dr. Boyd declares, has reached an alarming stage. But Dr. Boyd should not give himself over to despair on that account. Whatever neglect of duty may bé chargeable to the Quaker part of Hoosierdom is more than made gpod in this locality. Here the scriptural injunction’ to be truitful and to multiply is being faithfully complied with—by some,—J. B. Stoll in South Bend Times., / ‘ - . . ®RRRRR The new proprietor of the Chicago Journal takes amanly position in re gard to the relations of labor and capital. He explains that he himself and his associate came up from the ranks, and that their “sympathies are en-tirely-with the poor—the honest poor.”” Having come from the ranks and knowing the feelings, the ambitions the hopes and aspirations of serious-minded workingmen, we shall endeav- .. Or to correct some of the false ideas that have lately been planted in the minds of trades unionists. Truth is not always pleasant; but this universe iBO reﬁulated that it generally prevails. Therefore, if any false landmarks have been set l:ip along the highways that labor must travel, itis well to tear them down and start anew. The greatest force for evil in the industrial world today is that malign and crafty influence that seeks to array .employe against emfployer; that teaches the workingman his employer is his enemy, not hig-friend. ' _ ’ . . L ®ERRRR s One of the mogt proniinent Democrats in Rhode Island said in the re~centdemocratic convention that the nomination of Hearst ‘‘would be an infamy to the American people.” It isn’t the American people who would be menanced by the nomination of a fellow of Hearst’s caliber and character; it is the democratic party. The people would take care of themselves at the polls.—New Albany Ledger. b : : ' : : . R RBR BEE The wage question 18 always of importance, for the reason that it concerns the productive forces of theland. On this subject Carroll . Wright, United States labor commissioner, is considered high anthority. In a recent statement that gentlemen says the efforts to regulate wages by law have always been failures and have done more harm than good. Mr. ‘Wright declares that arbitration has failéd, and that socialism, which he denoniinates the ‘‘most ambitious remedy yet suggested,” is. like a ‘‘great ‘rubber band-which may be stretched and stretched until it seems to com~pass the yﬁg}g»q:,miety, but finally it reaches the point where the strain is too great and gives way altogether.” He says ‘‘the decalogue is as good a | | labor platform as any. In right action or in practical religion we fiyid thie | | highest forms of solution yetoffered.” 4
