Every evil to Which we do not suc

The man who preaches a revolution
is the worst kind of a crank.

There is nothing iwrong about Spain's
wanting coaling stations, but she ought

The hope of amending is, after all,
our very best and brightest hope of

You may as well have the devil to

The condition of affairs in France
Is
a sad commentary upon militarism.
The gSvernment which is founded up
on force and vanity instead of justice

warning will not be lost.
No other city in the United States
Aas so large a proportion of its people
receiving an education. Ohicago has
a right to brag. Fifty years ago a
rough and insignificant frontier town,
Chicago is now one of the world's great
and splendid cities, one of the most
important centers of trade, one of the
greatest manufacturing cities, and one
of those who are doing most for the
cause of education.
It is said that Spain deeply deplores
her failure to add a large number of
ships to her navy instead of applying
half of the approbations to her army.
The reason for this grief is not very
forcible. If Spain's navy had been
larger her whipping would have been
that much the worse. The wisest man
yet developed in Spain by the war was
the member of the cabinet who at the
beginning of hostilities expressed his
sorrow that Spain had a single man
of-war.
"No man liveth unto himself."
Neither men nor women are able to
defy their fellows, or to reject their
friendship, or disregard the sympathies
•of their kind. We, all of us, need
something with which we cannot sup
ply ourselves. We are dependent on
others for a thousand friendly qfficea,
and it is well for us to acknowledge
our dependency and also to listen to
the counsels of those who advise us
for our good. "Pride goeth before de
struction, and the spirit is lifted up be
fore a fall." He who claims that he
can take care of himself is very likely
to be poorly cared for and to require
much more assistance than others who
are less self-confident and more will
ing to accept the counsels of their
friends.
The home is the most vital of all in
stitutions, as it is the oldest. All in
stitutions have changed governments
have changed their .structure religion
has changed its creeds, its forms of
worship, its methods of work but the
home is today in all that is essential
to it what it was when Abraham and
Sarah kept house in a tent—one hus
band, one wife and the children gath
ered at their knees. It would be better
that the United States should be sever
ed into as many separate nationalities
as there are separate states and every
state separated into as many communi
ties as there are separate counties, ev
ery county into as many separate or
ganizations as there are separate towns,
than that the home in America should
be destroyed for let the nation live
and the home be corrupted, and the na
tion goes down into a death from
which there can be no resurrection but
let the homes live in America, and out
of a dismembered and broken republio
a new nation would grow up, (fed by
the home.
ftLGEfi IN HIS
OWN DEFENSE
HIS ANSWER TO THE WAR INVES­
TIGATION COMMITTEE.
A'l the Points Are Xot Considered la
Satisfactory Manner and He
"Will Be Asked to Make Further
Explanations Xo Attempt Made
to Explain tlic Hanislilps Suffered
by tlie Soldiers in Tampa—Three
"Witnesses Appear Befwre the
Committee—Sanitary aud Hospi­
tal Conditions at Fort Tliomns
Dr alt With.
New York, Oct. 12.--A dispatch to
the Herald from Washington says:
Secretary Alger has sent an answer
to the war investigating commission,
which, in the words of one of the com
missioners, "does not answer." "In
the first place," said this commis
sioner, "we asked who bad been In
fluential in selecting the camp sites.
The only answer vouchsafed is that
Gen. Lee selected the camp at Jack
sonville. I do not think any other
camp is mentioned. But this omission
will, no doubt be remedied in the sup
plemental report for which we will
call on Secretary Alger."
Secretary Alger's report includes
about 3,000 words, and in addition to
the Jacksonville c-j-.'ip matter covers
only these points The selection of
Tampa as a poiiK of embarkation
Rear Admiral Sampson's dispatch the
cause of hastening- troops to Santiago
Commodore Remy's dispatch, the
cause of the subsequent delay of the
troops. Discussion of these topics ex
hausts the report. No attempt seems
to have been made to explain the
causes of the hardships suffered by
the soldiers in Tampa. Secretary Al
ger will be asked for a fuller answer.
Members of the commission expect
to leave for a tour of the c-amps a
week from Monday. They may go
first to Camp Meade before it breaks
up. They will go to Jacksonville,
where Col. Bryan will be one of the
important witnesses. The tour of the
camps will, it is though'., consume
about two weeks. The commission
will return to 'Washington and later to
New York city.
Three witnesses were before the
commission yesterday. Capt. Culver,
of the Grigsby rough riders Dr. Hy
sell. chief surgeon of the Second di
vision. located at Camp Thomas, and
Maj. Gallagher, who was in charge of
various commissary depots in the San
tiago campaign. Dr. Hysell's testf
mony dealt Avith the sanitary and hos
pital conditions'at Camp Thomas. He
said that there was less typhoid fever
in the troops of the Second division
than in the other divisions, and
stated that it it secured its
water from outside springs in
stead of from Cliickamauga river, as
he considered the river water liable to
be impure. Maj. Gallagher detailed
the process of supplying rations to the
troops in the field. He said that at
one time there was a deficiency in cof
fee and sugar for two days, and ex
pressed the opinion that this shortage
would have proved serious if it hp.d
continued for any length of time. He
said the supply of lighters was not
sufficient to permit the accumulation
of any considerable quantity of food at
any one time.

Rome, Oct. 12. Owing to Italy's

lire, and will be satisfied w*ith a naval
credit this year of 28,000,000 lire. A

current year will shew a deficiency of
17,000,000 lire.

Paris, Oct. 18.—Yesterday was the

pertsi who recently won a suit against
growing out of the Drey
fus case! The sale was sought to be
delayed oil account of the facts that
the late Col. llenry confessed to hav
ing an, instrument bringing
about tlie conviction of Dreyfus, which
sustained tlie attitude assumed by M.
Zola, toward the handwriting experts,

fered to be responsible for the amount,
the friends of Zola who were present
ran up tlie bidding on the lirst article,
a Louis X. walnut table, which was
originnlly bought for 320 francs, to
32,000 l'rancs, thus producing the
amount required and stopping the
sale.
