The evidence against Schley, so far

as any could be found, is all in and

the reputation of the old sea dog of

Santiago is unshaken. It has been

shown that government charts are incorrect, that ship's logs were falsified,

that orders to deliver messages to

Schley were disregarded, that young

officers who never before saw a battle

were Schlev's jealous critics and that

Sampson was neither directly nor in

directly a participant in the engagement. Sampson's charge of reprehen

sible conduct and Maclay's accus ition of cowardice and disobedience ars not supported in the slightest degree. It was Schley who sent Cervera's fleet tc the bottom of the sea and the suspicion that he is the victim of a petty malicious persecution is verified.

Of all the men who are consciously or unconsciously responsible for this terrible decadence in public morals, one stands pre-eminent. William H. Hearst has kept artists portraying President McKinley and his administration as the willing tools of brutal trusts, the oppressors and murderers of the poor. The connection between these papers and the assault on the President maybe indirect. Such however, has not always been the case. In Colorado, in Illinois, in Indiana and in New York the present President was personally assaulted by men of the opposite party. In all cases, however, words suggested by the New York Journal or the Chicago American were in the mouths of the mob. Boston Commercial Bulletin.

Not since McKinley 's first inauguration has William It. Hearst suffered one respectful utterance, one decent remark to be made in the papers he has controlled, concerning the President or concerning any other gentleman connected with the administration. He has done his best and used his vast fortune to bring the President into contempt and make him a reproich to the people who exalted him. By means of his wealth a wealth which he himself could never have acquired Ilearst has been able to purchase the talent and ability that with pen and pencil have thus showered vilification and abuse upon the chief magistrate of the nation the man whom the world honors, but whom Hearst does not honor or respect. In addition to this Hearst daily foments strife among the people, stirring up envy, hatred, malice and all uncharitableness in one cipss against another. Is it strange tin n that in the public he has sough i to

educate and to sway, men are to be found who are capable of assassination, men who would consider it their duty to kill such a man as Hearst has taught them to believe McKinley was? Chicago Journal.

and women. At the beginning of their lives they have met with failures. They have becoLie discouraged and lost confidence. Many of them even hope has deserted, and they live on with a blight over all their davs.

There is no one, however great has

been his failure, but who is conscious

of a real power and ability to succeed

at something; to find that "something" there is need of a cheering

voice to urge one on. Early falls have

made the unguided steps unhesitating

and fearful.

To such you owe it to give support

and comfort. Instead of passing him with a word of sympathy only, give

him a word of encouragement, too.

Help to dispel his melancholy delu

sion that he is depreciated by those

around him, that he is not understood,

that he is looked upon as a probable

failure.

A new life comes to the downcast

boy to whom comes the assurance that

somebody has discovered in him, has seen in him the possibslities that oth

ers never thought of. Tell him that he will make somebody, that there is

a goal in life for him that is credita

ble and honorable, and you turn the

bright lights of existence on a dark

ened soul, and fit up a new abode for

happiness.

If you know of a boy sick at heart

and discouraged by want of success,

pity and comfort him. If you see

anything promising in him, tell him so; give him good assurance that you

believe- he will make a man.

Your words will be more than

money, your deed more than charity.

Albany Times Union.

Those democratic newspapers that are fond of harping on the imagined shortcomings of their own country charge, among other things, that Uncle Sam is land greedy and they talk about criminal aggression 'forcible annexation and other unpleasant characteristics. It is not necessary to say much on the subject, nor is it necessary to go back into ancient history to find refutation, for the facts of the present are sufficient to confound the resident maligners of the American people. No territory near our shores has been more greatly desired than Cuba, but we are about to withdraw from it voluntarily, leaving it an independent government of its own adoption; the island could be ours for the taking. A seaport in China is greatly needed by us and long has been, but the opportunity to acquire such a piece of territory has been allowed to pass, to the astonishment of the world. San Doming was offered to us free and we ref ined it and the Danish West Indies can be had at alow price and we are not taking them, thoiii all are desirable and advantageous to us. We can go Into Central or South America at any time and add to our possessions, or we can stir up a sentiment In Canada that would result in annexation. But those things are not in our line. Not Only do Americans regard forcible annexation as criminal, aggression, but we are exceedingly conservative about voluntary annexation. These are some of the facts to be placed against the democratic assertions. x IT TAKES BUT A WORD. Did you ever feel alone in the world, feel as if no one had confidence in you, no oue believed in you? If you have you have almost reached the heights of despair. There was littl 5 happiness for you then. There are thousands of people In the world suffering from4 that feeling today. Most of them are young men

WASHINGTON AND THE SOUTH. It is safe to say thatPresidentRoose

velt might invite almost anything in

the shape of a white man to dine with

him without exciting censorious com ment or invoking any factional preju

dice. A shifty politician, an illiterate,

a broken-down titled vagabond or a vulgar boor any one not of public

disrepute as an actual criminal might be entertained at the white house, and if he could pass for a Caucasian he

would be unnoticed, or, at the most,

the visit would occasion a mild

and reproachful surprise. A China

man or an Indian of ability, a Turk or an Eskimo of standing among his peo

ple, might be entertained without ad

verse comment being aroused. The

man whom President Roosevelt did entertain is the head of an important educational institution, a man of learning and cultivation, an entertaining writer of correct English, and, better than all, a man capable of original

and logical thought. In bearing and address he is a gentleman.

It is to be hoped and. believed that

the best conservative elements of the

south will refuse to allow a childish

prejudice to blind them to the reason

able proposition that a man like Book

er T. Washington cannot be stamped

with inferiority because of his color. In any court of Europe French, Rus-

sian,German, Italian, Austrian or English he would encounter no offensive

discrimination because of his color were he occupying a position in any of these countries such as he occupies in this. The color caste is a strange survival in this democratic country, considering that it is unknown to the aristocracy of Europe. Mr. Washington, moreover, is the one man who, more than any other, in his effort to better the condition of his own race, has sedulously studied to allay prejudice and help conditions in the south as a whole. Surely the wiser and more thoughtful of the leaders of opinion in the south should be sufficiently broad and intelligent to see the childishness of the present outcry in some quarters and lend their influence to suppress it.

PLYMOUTH'S BUSINESS NEEDS. A new factory would be an advantage to Plymouth beyond question. Several small establishments would be more valuable to our business men than a single large one. A better plan to Increase the trade of the city is to attract the farmers of the county and make It easy for them to get here. This season It has been noticeable that farmers are coming to Plymouth stores from greater distances than for several years past and such a tendency ought to be encouraged. Our merchants are doing the best they can in that direction by their selection of goods and the prices they ask and they are accustomed to treat their farmer friends cordially and honestly, all of which has its effect. But the farmer as a rule buys where he sells and If he can be brought here to sell his produce he will also buy his supplies here. If he could get a little more for his wheat here than at a town somewhat nearer to him he would bring it here; If a market were established here for vegetables for canning purposes he would raise them and bring them here. Outside of our agricultural products we have no fuel or raw material to offer as an inducement to factories, such as coal, gas or oil, lumber, iron, stone or anything else. "What we do have is, or could be, grain, vegetables, meat and milk, and we have ample railroad facilities, good water, an attractive town for

residence purpose and excellent health. The best thing that Plymouth people could do themselves would be to reach out for industries that are suited to the situation, such as merchant flouring mills, factories for cereal foods, dairy plants, canneries and the like, and at the same time enter upon a policy of highway improvement taking in all public roads leading our way and within a distance of ten or twelve miles. A glance at the census figures for 1900 as applied to the map of 'Marshall county shows that the agricultural population now trading regularly with Plymouth merchants is about six thousand; the agricultural population that can be brought to trade here by the proper inducements is close to twelve thousand. Here is asteady,permanent, thrifty, orderly population of five or six thousand persons already at our doors; to bring them here would cost no more than to subsidize and locate two or three factories employing fifty or a hundred hands each. Which is best?

AMBITION AND ITS DANGERS. In a sermon delivered at an Indianapolis church the preacher, Dr. Tevis, said: 4 'Ambition is like an "ignis fatums.'' It is a light dancing in the marsh which we can never seize. It is like a mirage in the desert; we see water but can never reach it to quench our thirst; it is like the isle of the sirens where the bleached bones of other men lie glistening on the fatal moonlit sands. Ambition: to get; to be; fills the heart of every young man. Somewhere in the future fancy paints his mansion and hope writes his name. But ambition may be so absorbing as to cast prudence and wisdom to the winds. What we want we will obtain at all hazards; we forget everything but the object itself. Present experiences are overlooked. While every day reveals duty, crosses and trials, it reveals joy and beauty as well, and the experiences we have with the joyful God wants us to weave in our

characters along with the stern.

Inordiuate ambition creates restlessness, and restlessness detracts from

the stability of future character.

Restlessness and discontent make

many a man lose the prize like a

ship that will not breast the storm, but turns and runs with every opposing wind. Character is the hand on the helm that holds the life steady. But, after all, conceding the fulfillment of the young man's brightest dreams, arubition is disappointing. Kings are in prison; the crown has iron spikes in it. When a man has spent his life in obtaining what he wants he has gotten it at a sacrifice. Possibly at the expense of a hard heart. Along the way he has shut up all the avenues of enjoyment and now he cannot use them. Every man has the power of shaping his future. There is no reason why a poor and wise young man is better that an old and foolish king;

one has the power of becoming what

he pleases, the other has his habits fixed forever. Our ambition is for what? Is it for empty honor, for unhappiness, and vanity? Or is it for honor and wealth, if honestly obtain

ed, and above all happiness and usefulness?

If a young man be wise he will

court his conscience. Conscience is God's officer and viceg rent in man; set by Him to be thy a gel, thy keeper, monitor, remembrancer, king, pro

phet, judge yea, thy lower heaven. But when remorse fills it, it becomes

thy adversary, accuser, jailer, tormentor, dungeon yea, thy upper hell. Prepare for an age full of content

ment and joys of conscience, which

come by a well-spent life relative to self, men and God, which is to be coveted above all else.

MARTYR WATTERSON. It is reported that Henry Watter-

son's ambition to be president is

prompted purely by the desire to save

democracy from the ruin of Bryanism. The Louisville sage can well dis

cern the trend of events and the re

sult if Bryanisra is not checked,' says

the South Bend Tribune. He knows

without telling what distress Bryanism has wrought in the democratic

camp, what demoralization it has

caused in democratic ranks, and he

fain would throw himself in the breach to save his party.

WTatterson .wants democracy to re

turn to Its old Jeffersonian faith, forgetting, meanwhile, that all the Jeffersonianism democracy ever had is now

embodied in the doctrine of the republican party, and he is willing to make a martyr of himself, to give up

his life, as It were, to safe the rem

nants of the old hulk from being calcimined over with populism, which is

inimical to BryanlGm.

It is a noble motive in Mr. Watter-

son to thus sacrifice himself for prin

ciple, but the decision comes a little

late In the day. It would have been

more consistent had he stood man

fully aloof from Bryanism a year ago.

Of course he gave it then but half

hearted support, but it would have

been more to his credit as a real rereformer had he come ct boldly and bravely as he did in 1896 as a defender of the old faith then, and not to attempt now. when Bryanism has done its worst in spreading seeds of discontent over the country, to try and build up on the wreck of his disrupted party. He helped materially in that disruption although at the time he felt himself practically "marching through a slaughter house to an open grave." Watterson is a brilliant man and he has written and said a geat many good things in favor of good govern

ment, but he spoiled the greater portion of his good work by his inconsistency in supporting McKinley on a sound money, soundlariff platform as against Bryan on a free trade, free silver platform as against McKinley on the same platform of four years before. Mr. Watterson indeed is

making a wonderful sacrifice and will

have a vast amount of explaining to

do if he should actually throw his

precious person in the breach and be

come the new democracy's candidate

for president in 1904, even though he

should succeed in capturing the step

ping stone of the Kentucky governor Ship of 1903.

THE INDIANA GAME LAWS.

The frost is on the pumpkin and

the fodder's in the shock, and the

sportsmen with dog and gun will soon

be abroad in this Hoosier land. There

is a general burnishing up of guns, an overhauling of paraphernalia, and gen

eral preparation for the approaching opening of the shooting season. The

callow youth will soon go forth,

formidably armed, to shoot the stray

barnyard duck, to bowl over the un

pretending calf by mistake, and anon take to the tall timber to escape the wrath to come. The real sportsman

has his mind's eye on visions of big bags of toothsome birds, and his

corporeal optic on the game laws. This latter, it may be mentioned en

passant, is a thing fearfully and won

derfully made. A casual perusal of the statute leaves the sportsman with the impression that about the only thing that seems lawful to do is to blow down the gun barrel, which act,

like virtue, is supposed to bring its

own reward. The law is complicated,

and its convolutions form a. sort of

prize puzzle to the average mind.

The parts of the law which are ap

plicable at this time of year may be summarized as follows:

It is unlawful to shoot quail, prai

rie chicken or partridges at any time

except from November 10 to January 1st.

It is unlawful, even in season, for

any one person to kill more than twen-ty-four quail in one day. It is unlawful to sell or offer for sale, quail at any time. It is unlawful for any non-resident of the stase to shoot any game In Indiana, without a license from the clerk of any county. Any non-resident so licensed may take out of the state not more than twenty-four game birds cf any kind killed in the state. No other person may take game of any kind out of the state. It is lawful to kill squirrels, wild duck and other water fowls from the first day of October to the tenth day of November, provided that you have a permit from the state commissioner of fisheries and game. This license must be carried by the hunter, ready to be exhibited to the commissioner or

any of his deputies. These permits are issued upon application, without charge.

It is unlawful to hunt water fowl with any other watercraft than a row

boat. Naphtha, electric and steam launches are barred.

It is unlawful to kill more than twenty-four ducks in one day. It is unlawful to hunt water fowl

after dusk and before dawn.

It is unlawful to hunt upon enclos

ed land without the written consent of

the owner or tenant thereof. It is unlawful to shoot any species

of song birds.

It is unlawful to hunt on Sunday. It is unlawful to hunt any kind of game from October 1 to November 10,

without a permit from the commis

sioner of fisheries and game, Z. T.

PIONEER DAYS IN NORTHERN INDIANA Reub. Williams In Warsaw Times. All of Northern Indiana was a great region for the hunter of the first-settler period. Deer and smaller game

were even quite numerous as late as 1846, when the family of the writer arrived in this county, and continued so for several years afterwards. The

raccoon, opossum, the entire variety

of squirrels, red and black; the fox-

squiirel, the "pine" or red squirrel, the sauciest and loudest of the squirrel family, and the chipmunk were all plentiful, while there were still a good many fur-bearing animals that were caught and their pelts would always bring the cash. Among these were the raccoon, the otter, then quite numerous along the streams; the mink, the opossum and the muskrat, the last two more plentiful than all of the others, their hides being used mostly for the manufacture of gloves and mittens, I presume, as their fur was rather of a coarse order as compared with the others. There was no small profit in the killing of wild animals in early days and the successful hunter realized quite a sum annually by his sale of fur-bearing skins as well as deer-hides, the latter being manufactured into buckskin and had a ready sale for this purpose. This was especially so, for the furs and hides always commanded the cash a thing that few articles did, as the whole country was

hopelessly, it seemed, turned over to barter and traping, there being no money in the country only that brougt in to buy hides and furs. These purchases were always made by strangers that is, non-residents and they, of course, could use only the cash! The northern part of Indiana seemed to be a neglected portion of the state for a long time. As already staff d immigration was slow, and the taking up of government land by entry except in tuch cases as the "Big Prairie," which lies three miles north of Warsaw and regarded as choice lands, owing to the fact that the ground was already cleared and a farm could be quickly carved in the wilderness, requiring only as it did fencing and breaking-up was decidedly backward. A good many families would arrive here in the springtime only to return in the late fall, having been frightened against becoming permanent settlers by their experience of the fever and ague, the biggest crop of any kind known to this section of Indiana in the early days, and the one crop that could always be relied upon. Many of the new-comers arrived with only sufficient funds to enter an eighty, or a hundred-and-sixty-acre piece of land, leaving them but little to live upon. This fact had a depressing influence upon many of those who came, and quite often, if they had kept their teams and wagons, they used these to return to their former homes "back in yander," so after the frosts that came in early October and they had recovered from the sickly period of later July, all of August and September, had put an end to the malaria, so prevalent in the hot months and accentuated by the decaying, rotting vegetation, almost as many covered wagons could be seen in the late autumn going eastward as could be discovered coming to the west to settle the country. For many reasons that particular period was a trying time for Northern Indiana, as one of the greatest hopes of those who had permanently located here was that the country would fill up rapidly and bring about a situation that would raise the price of their own land, as well as to clear it up and make the region one fit to live in.

A Family Division. New York, Oct. 21. Richard George, a brother of Henry George, has announced that he will vote and make speeches for Seth Low. His brother, Henry George, declared for Shepard several days ago. The brothers, it is stated, have both decided to go on the stump for the candidates they favor, and have agreed to meet in joint debate some night between now and election.

Table board much better than can be had at boarding houses has been furnished during the summer for 2.50 a week. It is probable that when the club resumes operations in the spring the membership will exceed one hundred.
