who are ever ready to join in a warfare against their employers.

OUGHT TO GET TOGETHER AND UNITE ON QUESTIONS OF INTEREST TO NATION, SAYS FAMOUS SENERAL'S WIFE. (By Mrs. John A. Logan.) Washington, March 28 It is unfortunate that on account of personal rivalries the interests of the great political parties are often jeopardized. These feuds have often contributed largely to the defeat of both the republican and the democratic parties. When ambitious men obtain a prominence that gives them a large following they Immediately become ambitious to dominate their party and receive Its favors by nomination and election to the highest positions within the gift of their party. No one was ever able to gratify his aspirations to this extent without having opposition in the person of some other influential leader. The defeat of personal ambitions would be of little consequence, but when a party is defeated by internal factionalism, the consequences are more to be regretted and it would be well for these great political organizations to weigh cavefully the cfalms of each candidate to know positively what would be their course in the event of their success. Oftentimes, through manufactured popularity, conventions blindly yield to what they suppose is a clamor for certain men to be the leaders, when, as a matter of fact, those persons alone may have been responsible for creating furore. After winning the prize they are found to be selfish, unscrupulous and Irresistible in their determination to rule or ruin, which brings about inharmonious administrations and loss to the country.

Once in power they disregard party fealty and undertake to establish their own individual policies without regard to precedent or consequences to the representative people of the nation or the decisions of the supreme court. The fate of the party who put them in power is completely ignored unless the party is ready to espouse the ruinous policies proposed and which are diametrically opposed to the principles of the party putting them in power and which have brought so much happiness and prosperity to the

! Such nominations almost without

exception end disastrously to the party and the person so elevated because of the fact that they know no restraint and are completely carried away by their own conceit. I believe I am correct when I say that there is not a single instance where a pronounced reformer ever reformed anything or anybody, or where a reform movement accomplished any real reformation in politics. This conies of the fact that nondescripts of every ism that can be conceived hasten to ally themselves with the movement from purely selfish motives and in the end to be displaced on account of their impractical and unworthy methods.

if men could be noble enough to get together and unite for the best interest of the nation, setting aside personal ambitions for the public good, we should see very different results and could in a measure anticipate what the future might bring forth. The great embarrassment from which this country suffers is that every four years the whole country is in a state of excitement and anxiety over the result of a presidential campaign that should not cause the least disturbance in the even tenor of business interests, but which, through the machinations and schemes of rival parties, Interferes with public and private interests, and affects the public weal most unfavorably, bringing about panics and financial distress. The country has become so populous and the interests so diversified that It does seem that something must be done in the near future to save the republicans from disaster, or we may have to realize that in this country self-government is a failure.

As all political parties are composed of an association of men who entertain similar views on questions of politics, it is strange that they sometimes allow themselves, where in connection, to be influenced by popular clamor that has been well worked up by some ambitious person and his followers into nominating a man whose record, politically, has always been Inconsistent. " The cry of reform is invariably started and led by ambitious persons who hope, by ringing the changes of righteousness and honesty, to create suspicion of dishonesty in all who occupy high places and eventually to succeed them. It is a curious fact that they succeed nine times out of ten in bringing discredit upon the old leaders and In getting themselves elected successors to tried and consistent party representatives. For a brief time they create wild enthusiasm-by their crusades in the name of reform. They tlo not hesitate to meke wholesale charges of dishonesty upon all classes of business men to wiiom the country is indebted for its progress and prosperity; they appeal to the lowest and indigent classes by catering to the prejudices of the "ne'er do well,"

Parties should look well to all nominations and place men in nomination who have been consistent in records, and the party which nominates such men can depend upon their causing reforms to be instituted that will accomplish something because the effort, will be backed by the whole party and done with intelligence and discretion inside of its organization.

New York, Philadelphia. Cincinnati, St. Louis and Chicago have had their experience with municipal reforms that created widespread consternation and excitement on account of the nature of crimes committed in some instances through the acquiescence, if not connivance, of officials at the head of affairs. Subsequently it has been proven that the clamor against those in power has been greatly exaggerated and that in cases where the charges were well founded, the parties responsible for the elevation of unworthy individuals were Just as active in the prosecution of the guilty as the independent reformers. From reliable reports the results of these spasmodic, reformations have not been permanent in these cities and the people have restored the regular party organizations to power. The impetuou&ness, recklessness and inconsistency of reformers causes them to make serious mistakes which they stubbornly refused to admit or attempt to undo. When any man is more cordially indorsed by the opposing party to the one which put him in a high place, it is unmistakable evidence that he is disloyal to the tenets of his party and is no longer a safe leader for any party as he becomes a law unto himself tind so aggressive in the furtherance and of his own ambitions as to be Indifferent to the welfare of the party of the people.

PRINCE DE SAG AN IS LOVE SICK Frenchman Talks of His Position.

New York, March US. "Tho finest revenge I could conceive of against any man would be to have him fall in love with a lady and have both land in New York. It would be the exquisite refinement of cruelty." This was the sad wail of Prince Helic de Sagan. who announced that he was sick. It is evidently heart sickness as the result of George J. Gould's opposition to the Prince's proposed marriage to Mine Gould. The assent of Mr. Gould in particular is essential, as he is not only the head of the Gould family but. under the terms of their father's will, is manager of Mme. Gould's share in the estate.

WW

The annual election of officers of Post C, T. P. A. was held last evening. Following the election the large number of members present enjoyed a smoker

and Interesting addresses given by P.

.1. Freeman, J. B. Gordon and M. Muey of Camden, O. The election of officers resulted as follows: President J. M. Ijewis. Vice president M. K. Shreeve. Secretary and treasurer M. L. Hasty. Directors Leroy Brown, C. A. Pierson, C. W. Morgan. Librarian C. O. Tooker. P. J. Freeman gave a talk on the history of interurban railways in Richmond. Mr. Freeman also asked the post to appoint a committee to confer with the city officials and the traction officials, with the end in view of securing an adjustment in the existing difficulties, so that for the benefit of local shippers, interurban freight service can be resumed, until the city and the traction company have settled their differences in the federal court. J. B. Gordon gave an interesting talk on the parcels post. Mr. Shuey addressed the members of the post on general topics. His talk was a most interesting one. Throughout the evening music was furnished by the combined hig'.i school and Garfield school orchestras. The national secretary and treasurer in his report for February, gives the total resources of the national organization at $2'J!.182.Co, and total membership as ,'55,343, and total .nibunt of claims paid during the monh of February at $ll,!44.jO. This showing would indicate a good healthy condition in the organization. It is well to put off until tomorrow what you ought not to do at all. The buyer is a human being, no more, no less, and is subjected to the same mental laws which govern the human salesman. A. C. Quigg, who has represented Schnull & Company of Indianapolis, in this territory for several years, has resigned his position on the account of ill health. After he sufficiently recovers it is his intention to engage extensively in the stock business.

WIFE SAID HUBBY GAVE HER WHIPPING.

NO DIVORCE FOR THEVANDERBILTS Wife of Millionaire Talks of the Situation.

John Gehring Was Placed Under Arrest. "While John Gehring, whose police and domestic experiences have in the past occupied much space in the columns of the local papers, was at police headquarters last evening for the purpose of filing an affidavit against a man, charging him with assault and battery, his divorced wife appeared upon the scene and asked the police to arrest him. Mrs. Gehring stated that her retired husband, who has of late been boarding at her home, had wripped her. Gehring was then led back to the city jail while Mrs. Gehring filed an affidavit against him. She will appear in the city court Monday morning to prosecute him. John engaged in a fistic encounter yesterday afternoon in the north end of town, it is asserted. Just at the time the officers were

! searching for the fiartieipants in this

affair John appeared at police headquarters, stated that he was one of the combatants and that he wanted the other one arrested because he had hit him in the head with a rock.

New York, March 2S. "There will be no divorce. I am taking no step, and I am contemplating no steps to that end." declared Mrs. Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt, at the home of her brother in Tuxedo Park, when asked as to the estrangement between herself and her husband. Informed that Mr. Vanderlbit would leave for Kngland today, his wife went on: "It is really amusing to those who know us to see the fuss that has been made over the fact that Mr. Vanderbilt goes to Europe without me. We have lived that way for years. My husband has taken trips abroad without me before without exciting comment, and I have gone to places without him.

THE RAILROAD STORE

WAS MUM AMAZED David Sands Found Diamond In Common Work Glove Saturday Afternoon.

OTHERS DOUBTED FIND.

'Gee whiz, what do you think of that?" That was the declaration made by David Sands, a traveling salesman for the Pogue, Miller & Co., -wholesale hardware dealers, Saturday afternoon when he drew forth a ring from a common twenty-five cent canvass glove, containing a "stone" which dazzled the eyes. The other salesmen, all of whom were engaged in examining a number of sample canvass and mule hide gloves, laughed loudly when Sands, in his amazement at the odd discovery, almost fell over a chair. "It's only glass," laughed a doubting

Thomas. "I'll bet it's a real diamond," answered Sands, then he hurriqtl to a local jewelry store to have the "stone" examined. The jeweler confirmed Sand's opinion that the "stone" was a diamond and informed him that its market value was only $175. It is thought that some one at the Ft. Wayne factory where the gloves were made, ran his hand into the treasure glove and on extracting it his ring was pulled off. The factory was notified by telegraph that "something valuable'' had been found in one of the sample gloves and that if the concern could state what the valuable was it would be at once returned to the owner.

YOUNG STOREBREAKERS WERE RELEASED

Dixon and Ashinger Pleaded Guilty, However.

Emmett Dixon and Raymond Ashinger, the juvenile burglars were arraigned in juvenile court yesterday on the charge of petit larceny. They plead guilty and were released under suspended sentence. The next offense of the boys is due to land them at the boys' reform school at Plainfield. The couple showed unusual daring in breaking into the Maag and Riley store and tapping the cashdrawer. To do so they had to pass directly under the window in the city building at which the sergeant of police keeps his nightly vigil.

CURSE OP DRINK CAUSE OF FAILURE

Andrew Carnegie Talks of Bad Habits.

New York. March 2. "The rurse of drink is the cause of more failures in life than anything else. You can surmount every other faulty habit, but the man who is a confirmed drinker has not one chance in a million of success in life," said Andrew Carnegie, in addressing the evening classes of Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, at its commencement exercises. "I want, to say the next generation will regard smoking as this generation regards chewing no, I wift not say the next generation, the generation after that, perhaps."
