ROT TO WEARY IX WELL DOING
pi*'-"*** to Be the Pert-Intent Motto
of tin- Municipal Purity and
Reform Movement,
There was a large attendance yester
day afternoon at the Clinton Avenue
Methodist church, corner Isabel street,
to hear the objects of the Christian
Citizenship league discussed. The i
speakers were Rev. J. \y. Conley, j
pastor of the First Baptist church, and
Rev. "William McKinley, pastor of Cen- !
tral Park Methodist church.
Mr. Conley explained the purpose of I
the league, and denounced in strong
language the abuses of a number of I
laws which have been allowed to go i
on unheeded by the city authorities. i
The league will make a long and per
sistent effort to educate the people in i
moral reform, and will see to it that '
transgressors are promptly prosecuted.
A number of disreputable places in the ;
City are being closely watched by its ■
members, and as soon as sufficient cvi- j
dence is collected, there is a good pros.
pect of several more being soon called
up to answer to a variety of charges. '
The city authorities, unscrupulous
politicians and blind law-makers came '
in for a dark brown roast. Quite a few i
in the audience were admitted to mem- j
bership, and the league will soon be '
doing business on a strong basis.
Key. Conley said: "There are two
dangers in our Christian work In the
way of misapprehension. One is that
the sort of work that we are to do is
to lead men and women to the accept
ance of Jems Christ. The other idea
is that the way to seek men is to form
the right kind of enviroment.
"As I understand it, this Christian
Citizenship league attempts the unify
ing and combining of both of these
ideas. Every good of our work as
Chrisjtans is lost in a measure in its
larger productiveness of results, be
cause of the unfavorable conditions ln
which we live. We are going, if pos
sible, to repress and circumscribe and
minimize the influences of the forces of
evil and give a better and clearer field !
for the forces of right. Article 2 of the
constitution of the Christian Citizen
ship league, reads as follows: 'The ob
jects of the league shall be the enforce
ment of the laws of the city and state;
to combat existing evils, especially such
as result from the violation of the
liquor laws, unlawful Sunday labor,
gambling, and the keeping of disreput
able places; to arouse a healthy and in
telligent public interest on all questions
concerning the welfare of our city and
state, and to shape public opinion to- !
ward securing the . nomination and I
election of competent and trustworthy '
men for public offices without respect
to party lines.' We lay emphasis, as I
you see, on the moral element of the !
political and civic life of the people. |
We believe that there is no solution i
for any of these other problems, of j
whatever character, unless we can in
some measure solve the moral ques- j
tions that are involved. If we can in- |
s-till a good moral character in the !
young people, we will go far towards a I
solution of this thing. It is true that I
If we are going to solve the financial j
questions, there must be a strong, !
moral and healthy tone in every move- i
ment that is set In operation. What l
we are aiming at is to produce a higher
moral standard in the community. We I
hope that the effect of the Christian !
Citizenship league is to enter upon a I
campaign of education. The great '
point is to turn on the light. Let the !
facts be known as they are. The peo- j
ple need to know the exact conditions \
of things. It is our purpose to ac- I
quaint this city thoroughly with the j
liquor laws and the laws relating to ;
disreputable places. Our liquor laws
are not enforced at all, the principal
one. We have a most explicit law re
garding the sale of liquor on the
Lord's day, but it is not enforced. There
is a specific law in this state regard
ing the keeping open on Sunday. A
good many who are charged with the
enforcement of the Sunday law smile
when they are spoken to regarding '
the matter, but I don't think they will j
smile a year from now when asked '
to enforce these laws. We are aim
ing to bring Christianity into the life
of every one and to turn on the light
on these evils. The committee of en
forcement of law is made up of some '
of the best men in the city, and they '
are looking the matter, up and watch
ing the institutions that are trans
gressing the laws. The state law is
that no man, not a resident of this
state, can take a license in this
state, and yet three or four Milwaukee \
brewers have licenses to do business
in St. Paul. The man who was in the
toils the other day has been running
on a license taken out by a Milwaukee
brewer. Another thing the law pro- i
vides is that the man who takes out j
a license must be the proprietor of the j
saloon. One of the greatest evils in j
our city has been due to the fact that j
many saloons have been run by irre- :
sponsible parties. The licenses were ''
taken out by others. It is now going !
to be tested whether these brewers can '
run the saloons and whether the man '
who takes out the license shall be the ;
proprietor of the saloon.

vor of these prosecutions, ami many
of these men who are violating laws
know that they are being tracked, a;-.d
some of these bright days lliov will
be brought up, and they know it. The
trouble is that we have been talking
too much and working too little. We
should go out and work, and we will
from now on go out and fight. The
battle will not be"a very difficult one.
We should go" ahead, and with our
combined forces we, can gain a vic
tory. We don't want to go into poli
tics, but we will see. what can be done
towards having the right men nomi
nated and elected to office. If men are
put up who will, give us good" govern
ment and see that laws are enforced,
we will give them our hearty support.
We have entered the arena for a pro
tracted siege, for the betterment of
things, for the overthrow of these
places of vice that are demoralizing
hundreds of young people in our city.
We must do something to make vice a
little harder and- virtue a little eas
ier."
Mr. McKinley, in bis address, said:
"One of the oldest and most success
ful tricks of the devil is to call a good
thing by a bad name and a bad thing
by a good name. I like to call things
by their right names, and the great
reform they say is to call things by
their right names. There are many
deceptions in the use of words. One
thing that I admire the Saxon tongue
for is because it calls terrible things
by terrible names. .
"Some of our laws are fairly well
enforced. The laws protecting life and
property are fairly well enforced. The
laws protecting morality should be re
garded as the most sacred of all. Prop
erty isn't worth having and life isn't
worth living where moral laws are
trampled upon. There is a fearful lack
of reverence in this country today for
things that are sacred. "Blasphemers
are heard in the streets, in the hotels,
In cars, and everywhere. The quill
drivers of the press ever and anon try
to show their wit at some sacred thing
in the Holy Book. Preachers some
times make ordinary allusions of things
that are sacred. Straw shows the way
the wind blows, and this irreverence
for the word of God shows the ex
istence of lawlessness. This has been
a great week for preaching laws.
There is no antagonism between law
and gospel. Men need to realize in
this country that this shameful viola
tion of law, these Sunday laws and
liquor laws are sins against God, a
rebellion against the people that
make them, and treason against
the state. I have the wrath of God
in me concerning the law license of
this country, and it keeps me awake
nights to think of the boys and girls
who are led to dissolute ways and ruin
by the lawlessness of the city. If the
city should leave a large hole open in
the street, without any red light or
any fence around it, and a boy would
fall in and hurt himself, his parents
would sue the city for heavy damages.
If the city had open a violation of the
city and state law, and no red light to
inform the. boy, and with no fence to
keep him out of the place, he has no
redress. -: .: ; ...
"A strange mistake is made that men
who are elected to office are being
looked upon as masters. They are not
our masters. They are our servants,
and, as our servants, if they don't do
what they are there for, and enforce
the law, we will turn them out. I say,
we will turn the rascals out."

SOLILOQUY OF THE MAJOR.
Every Prospect Pleases, and Only

New York Sun.
I wish to say that I regard my boom
with joy. It seems to me that all good
stars smile upon me. Mr. Morton is an
excellent gentleman, a man whose hap
piness I have very much at heart. I
am told, however, that Mr. Morton is
older than myself. How time does fly!
But avert If Mr. Morton were younger
than myself— and I am told that I am
exactly as old and exactly as young as
I ought to be— even if Mr. Morton were
younger than myself, he could not feel
as young as I do. I feel in my veins
the wild youth of the wildest west.
The western reserve rises and invites
me. My own state, laden with philos
ophers, with unselfish thinkers of many
names, With Bushnells and with For
akers, attracts me with a singular and
an unforgetable charm. Hanna is
sending out, missionaries into • Massa
chusetts, and Michigan, and Minnesota,
and Montana, and Oregon, and Wash
ington. Hanna says that we have the
whole thing. I never mistrust Hanna.
He never mistrusts himself. If there
is anything going on, Hanna. knows it.
Hanna says that I am sure to be nom
inated. At the same time, Hanna tells
me that there is a certain, or uncer
tain, feeble, foolish sentiment in New
England in favor of Thomas Brackett
Reed. Mr. Reed is an excellent gen
tleman. But he is not myself. His
opinions in regard to the tariff are val
uable, but who made the tariff?
I did.
I find by observation and from the
still more thoughtful observations of
the Honorable Marcus Antonius Hanna
that the people in Europe, Asia and
Africa are crying for me with a unan
imous voice. y.y. ~
The only question is about Foraker.
Is Foraker straight?
There is a beginning to everything.
I have an unlimited confidence in
Mr. Foraker.

The Baboon Had the Necklace.
One day the home of Geoffroy S,i.
Hilaire, the famous French naturalist,
became a perfect pandemonium. Every
room was turned upside down except
the study of the master of the house.
Mme. St. Hilaire had lost a very valu
able diamond necklace, but she in
structed the servants not to mention
the loss to her husband, lest the knowl
edge of it should disturb him in his
work. Moreover, the missing bauble
could not be there, inasmuch as she
rarely entered the" sanctum. The search
proved in vain, but the great savant
was still left 1 * in ignorance. A few
days later, at Mme. .St. .Hilaire's week
ly "at home," one of the female friends
sympathetically inquired after the or
nament in the hearing of her host. In
the. most airy, but withal most unaf
fected way, the great, naturalist re
marked that his favorite baboon had
been playing for nearly, a week with
a "similar thing to that described,"
which "similar thing" .turned out to be
the priceless ornament. Mme. St. Hil
aire indignantly protested at M. St.
Hilaire's neglect in not having taken
the necklace from ■ the animal. ': "I
thought that it belonged to him," was
the calm reply, "he seemed to take such
pride in it." . y" «£?>; .'*
yy-; Scouring; Wool.
Much continues to be published in the textile
organs concerning the scouring. of wool by the
naphtha method, the. economical results being
represented as of the most decided character,
says the New York Sun. The naphtha is
forced through and through the wool by means
of a pump, and all the natural oil or yelk of
the material is expurgated. It is reported that
not only does the naphtha exercise no in
jurious effect upon the fiber of the wool, as in
the case of alkali, but really leaves the fleece
in better condition than when treated by any
other process A further valuable feature
mentioned as pertaining to this method is this
—namely, that after the grease is extracted
from the wool it may be again extracted from
the naphtha in a pure state and used as a sa
ponlficator for the purest soaps.

Rev. William McKinley and Henry
Johns will not come to blows. Mr.
Johns has been a warm supporter of
the other William McKinley, who is
Ohio's candidate for president of the
United States and warmly indorsed by
j several other constituencies, but dur
ing the last week the young* attorney
has entertained a coolness, even a chol
| oric coolness, if the term may be per
mitted, for the local William McKin
ley. The latter, who is the pastor of
j Central Park M. E. church, a week ago
j last evening preached a pointed ser
mon on current municipal events, in
which he referred to the attorney in a
cause celebre'in terms quite broad in
their condemnation. The attorney
wrote the pastor a note, a gentlemanly
epistle, but not an ambiguous one; he
did not make any threats, but he laid
before the reverend gentleman very
forcibly the fact that there remained
an opportunity to apologize. This. Mr.
McKinley did. During the services
last evening he said:
"Last Sunday night, in the interest of
good morals, I denounced certain
things, with the nature of which you
are well acquainted. In my sermon
I made some allusion to the attorney in
the case, and in justice to him, I want
to say tonight that I received a com
munication from this counselor, this
young lawyer who was interested in
the defense in the case. In that com
munication he stated that he was not
correctly reported in that case by the
public press. That he did not abuse
or insult the Christian woman in the
case, and it was not his part to abuse
women, virtue or motherhood, who
were trying in their way of righteous
thinking, when they are doing what
they think is their duty. Every man
has a right to think as he pleases. I
give that man, that young attorney,
the benefit of his denial of that offense
and retract whatever criticism I may
have made at the time and placed upon
what was the public report. lam al
ways glad to know that things are
sometimes better than they seem to be,
and I take much pleasure in retracting
a criticism of that sort. I discover the
error. I bear no animosity towards
that young attorney, and I could not
have any interest in misrepresenting
him."

ANGLO-AMERICAN ALLIANCE.
Correspondent Who Thinks It Very
Desirable.
To the Editor of the Globe.
Thirty years ago the United States, wearied
to the point of exhaustion by ono of the great-
I est internecine wars that ever taxed the en
i ergies and resources of a nation, closed its
| weary eyelids, and was . "wooed to shadowy
shores of sleep" beneath the brooding wings
* of the Angel of Peace. The twin brothers,
I North and South, again united, slept side by
j side; dreaming creative dreams of the won
' drous march of industry and the arts; seeing
! mighty visions of a wonderful development, a
splendid progress, an unparalleled prosperity;
creeping, in their peaceful slumber, beneath
I the wind-tossed benison of the flag of our
I union, nearer and ever nearer, each to each,
j enmity and strife forgotten in glorious broth-
I erhood, until arms in blue were interlocked
I with those in gray, and the fair Southern head
| was pillowed on the Northern breast. For
i wise men forgive, and they were of one blood.
But, in that long period of repose, the na
, tion, lulled to a sense of security by the paean
I of the peace pipes, forgot that there might .be
I rude awakenings, harsh disturbance of its
; well-earned rest, by a sharper, keener set of
I notes; forgot that the tattoo of peace has al
j ways been followed, at longer or shorter inter
val,by war's wild reveille — symphony
! of war, which plays Its fierce, mad, blood
j stirring music upon an organ whose pipes are
hot rifle barrels, whose bellows are filled with j
I the blast of exploding gunpowder, whose keys |
; are trigger and lanyard, whose steps are the j
i tremolo of the death-cry and the vox humana
| of the charging cheer, and whose tones and
semi-tones are the shriek of shrapnel and
; shell, the roar of batteries, the crash of vol
leys and the whit and sibilant whisper of. the
flying bullet
It has been written and spoken to infinity j
to the point of nausea— "ln time of peace, pre
pare for war." It is a somewhat barbarous
maxim; but, so far in the world's life, it has
proven axiomatic. Might it not be rewritten
(to hold as much of truth and less of talons) '
to read: "In time of peace, by wise alliance, j
j make war impossible?"
Twice, of late, the United States has had !
j complications with other countries, one of i
I which misunderstandings, but for the strong, I
I underlying common sense and feeling of kin- \
! ship that are inherent in the Anglo-Saxon race, j
might have had serious and far-reaching con
, sequences, setting back the clock of civiliza
| tion a century. The other imbroglio is a mat
j ter of comparatively small moment, and, If
our wrong-headed, hot-blooded, windy little
antagonist should be silly enough to fling the
gage of battle to us, we could detail one of the
smaller states (game Rhode Island, or plucky '
j little Delaware latter has a whipping- i
J post) to spank her. Ouida wrote somewhere j
■ a clever fable concerning the creation of the !
! people just referred to. It is something, but '
j not exactly, like this: The gods took the !
. heart of a lion, the head of a bull, a drop of I
water, a handful of salt, a pinch of earth and j
an oar, and dropped them on an island. Up
sprang an Anglo-Saxon, brave, obstinate, I
thirsty, with wit enough, a monstrous appe- ;
j tite for land and an unquenchable desire to
fence in the sea. Later, these same industri
': ous deities laid hands upon a bladder filled
i with wind, in which they put a feather from
; a peacock's tail, the tooth of. a wolf and a |
; snake's fang, "j From the ground whereon it
fell there sprang a race— boastful, arrogant,
cruel and treacherous— a race that has spat I
! on "Old Glory" before this. Look at its past
I history. The conquest of Mexico was a car
nival of avarice, treachery, cruelty, blood- !
lust, oppression and crime; a daring, fiercely ;
; brave thing, if you will, but, at the same <
; time, brutal, cowardly. In Peru this race out
did itself, in the exercise of its ethnic pe
-1 culiarities, and out-Heroded Herod. Think of
the horrors of the inquisition; follow the
track of torch and sword through Holland;
see, by the glare of the auto-da-fe, rack and
j thumb-screw, scaffold and ax, hot pincers and I
I iron-maiden; hear the awful cry that rends !
j the startled«air from millions of men done to j
] death by hellish torment, of ravished, tor- !
s tured, murdered women, of babes slaughtered I
I at their mother's breasts; behold three fiends. !
I a king, a priest, a soldier, with no one of j
I whom hath hell a demon vile enough to
j couple. Today the wolf tooth Is blunt and
I loose In the socket, the snake fang atrophied
i and dropping serum, not venom; and nothing I
; Is left but the peacock feather and the bladder
I of wind. A petty, pitiful, priest-ridden people,
moribund and out of date, clutching in Impo- :
; tent rage and greed at the throat of a rich and i
; beautiful island, which soon will shake off :
the palsied claws and take her rightful place
, among free states. All hail, O little sister!
, We wish thee well.
And, now, to the matter of alliance. The
English-speaking race is in the van of civil- )
| ization and progress, and it is, perhaps nat
urally, regarded by most of the other na
tons with more or less of jealousy, suspicion i
and ill-will; but, after all' Is said and done,
it has been, and is, the world's best friend; j
it has given mankind a greater sum of bene
fits than all the other people of earth ; and
it will continue to be the pioneer in the fut
ure development of humanity.
This ' development and progress could be
fostered and accelerated by a league between
the freest, best-governed, most advanced peo
ple under the sun. The British empire and
the United States are naturally allies. The
merely political organization of Great Brit- |
am is a monarchy— the figment of a crown,
the figurehead of a queen or king, the simula

"It Is almost impossible to find persons In

It was a learned professor "connected with a
New York medical college, who recently made
this remark: "Men break down under the
strains of high pressure living," he contin
ued,' "they overwork the brain and neglect
the body. They exercise no part of the body
except the head, and consequently suffer from
indigestion, palpitation of the heart, weak
nerves and other ills that make life a bur
den. ';-' :
That the above words are absolutely true is
repeatedly proved by the experience of many
men who break down through overwork and
too close attention- to -business. They overtax
I the nervous system, they strain their physical
powers to the point of exhaustion, and then

what happened in the case of Selden Fish, the

by the following statement that he recently
made: "I was not diseased," said Air. Fish.
but simply prostrated at my nerve centers
by too close application to business. By tho
use of Duffy's pure malt whiskey, however I
was completely restored to health. 1 think
that this whiskey is nature's great remedy
Tor almost any weakening or wasting dis
ease. ' B
Thousands of people have passed through
the same experience. • When broken-down and
worn out in health, they have discovered that
the only way to regain their lost vigor is by
the use of a pure stimulant. They have found
"* ut _ '! lat - the best thing for this purpose is

celled for its great restorative powers. No
other preparation can be relied on to work Its
wonderful curative effects. Do not let your

Such an alliance would insure peace and
security, not to us alone, but to the entire
brotherhood of man, hastening the fulfillment
of dear old Burns' loving prophecy:

Anglo-Saxon race, in amity, friendship and
love, shall clasp hands in a girdle around
the world, and, like a chain of sentinels,
England shall cry "All Is well!" across the
Atlantic, and, over the Pacific, America shall

SUPPLY REGULATES PRICE.
C. J. II ii ell Answers the Question*
of an Inquirer.
To the Editor of the Globe.
J. D. Stone, of Pine City, asks me some
questions which I suppose are called out by
my article against 16 to lin the G1 o b eof
March 2. Most of Mr. Stone's questions have
no bearing one way or the other on my ob
jections to free silver at 16 to 1; but as he
seems to -be an earnest seeker after facta
and truths, It may be worth while to answer
some of them.
First— l do nit think that the demonetiza
tion, of silver had much, if anything, to do
with its decline in value as measured in
gold. The fact that silver is being produced
and sold in the markets at constantly lower
prices, and in larger and larger amounts,
would seem to show that silver costs less
than it did thirty or forty years ago. If so,
it will stay cheaper.
Second— lf all the corn in the world were
destroyed, the price of wheat would undoubt
edly go up for a while, until wheat enough
could be raised to supply the demand. If
wheat- could then be raised as cheap as now,
its price would be the same as now.
Third— That vfould depend on my honesty.
No honest man would desire either to un
duly expand or contract the currency. Ex
pansion and contraction of currency should
be automatic— respond to the re
quirements of trade. •_ ._• .-'.■•.•
Fourth— lf a man saves 5 cents a day, to
save enough to buy a gold dollar would re
quire twenty days. I am a little surprised
that Mr. Stone could not work that out him
self. He would need to save for fifty days
to get a quarter eagle, or a hundred days to
get a half eagle.
Fifth— don't think so. I don't know what
Mr. Stone means by a "dishonest dollar."
If a laborer had engaged to work for $1.25
per day, and then if the currency was tin
kered so that his $7.50 at the end of the week
would buy only about half as much as he
supposed it would when he hired out, he
would not probably take time to Indulge in
poetic license and call them dishonest dol
lars; but would go straight for the currency
tinkerers as a set of thieves who had robbed
him of half his i comforts of life. Next he
would try to get his wages raised, so he could
buy as much as he did before.
Sixth— l am sure I do not know why people
who favor gold monometallism use the terms
"sound money" and "honest money." Probab
ly because they think those phrases express
their ideas better than any other form of
words they have at command. -. -; -*.'■•'
Seventh— Yes, I think gold is "honest mon
ey" at the present time- for most purposes.
To illustrate, if Mr. Stone put a hundred dol
lars in the bank a month ago, he put in the
equivalent of a hundred gold dollars. If
no change is made in our currency, he will
take out a hundrerd dollars, each as good
as he put in. That would be honest. If,
however, the value of the dollar should be
changed to make it worth more, that would
cheat the banks for the benefit of Mr. Stone.
If the dollar was made less valuable, it would
cheat Mr. Stone to benefit the banks. Either
of those changes, I think, would be dishonest.
As Mr. Stone's questions do not in any way
run against the conclusions of my article, I
suppose he agrees with my objections. If I
can be of any further service to. Mr. Stone
1 shall be glad. -. — C. J. Buell.
CARLISLE SCHOOL.
A- Monument to the ConiitryJsi ('arc
of Its Red Wanlx.
To the Editor of the Globe. - -.'.
The Indian industrial school at Carlisle, Pa.,
established seventeen years ago, by R. H.
Pratt, captain' Tenth United States cavalry,
attracts many visitors during its commence
ment exercises. It has been an experiment,
but it Is so no longer; the Indian question
is no longer the Indian problem. When 700
or * 800 Indian boys and girls are here each
year Instructed In a common school educa
tion, each one taught some trade. Instructed
in methods of money-making and habits of
economy, under military discipline, giving
habits of order and dispatch, while with
every thing the sweet gospel of Christ Is
taught as the foundation of character and
civilization, what wonder that all who employ
them say, "Give me every time an Indian
for efficient service?"
Very few, comparatively, go back to reser
vation life. They call 'it a prison. They
are taught civilization, and helped to remain
in civilization, though never compelled; and
they now, when graduated from this. school,
have chosen various! callings and are occu
pying positions of trust and commanding the
best salaries -riven. i», '.'.
■ The Friends of Pennsylvania have been from
the beginning of the school the most helpful
co-operators. In tire vacations they take
these boys and girl* Into their homes and
teach them home i life and home ser
vice. The money for this service Is placed to
each child's credit In the school bank, which
has reached $20,000 and more.
The commencement occurs early in the year,
that the children may go early to the farms.
The patrons and absent pupils are all invited
to be present, besides many distinguished
educators - and statesmen. .
The standard of excellence is 'raised each
year in the school room, the graduates reach
ing perhaps the second year in high school,
omitting Latin, all working a halt day, and
studying a half day.
This year there was a class of twenty-five
members, about one-third girls, many prepar
ing to teach.
Among the visitors were several Indian
parents from different parts of the West, and
■■ one Antonio Apache, representing a Chicago
daily. He assisted in the anthropological ex
hibit at the Columbian world's fair, and is
now retained In the same work in the Field
museum. He was very graceful, dignified,
refined and intelligent, spoke well and right
to the point, denouncing reservation methods.
A distinguished visitor mistaking the true
point of censure, drew some severe conclu
sions, and Senator Knute Nelson, of Minne
sota, had the happiness of reconciling the ex
tremes, amidst Immense applause from about
4,000 people. The audience was fully In sym
pathy with Mr. Apache.
The young man was stolen when a boy, and
lias had to look out for himself; and plans to
finis,, his education at Harvard. His name
was Antonio, and from being often called
Apache he took both names. Gen. Howard,
the most honored of Capt. Pratt's many guests,
greeted Antonio as an old friend, the son of
Juan and nephew of Coehez, the Apache chief,
who in the mountains of Texas gave Gen.
Howard and the United States troops no small
amount of trouble.
Gen. Howard is writing a history, and from
the boys and girls of Carlisle he learned many
facta with regard to their fathers, or present
condition of other Indians serving with him
in the Indian wars. •
Gen Fitzhugh Lee was also a guest who
had been receiving invitations some years be
fore he could accept. He, too. was looking
up historical data upon the battle of Gettys
burg, intending to refute Longstreet's state
ments of censure of his uncle, Gen. Robert
Lee. ,:-..,
To sum up the whole, In the words of an
other, "After all. the greatest glory of Carlisle
is Capt. Pratt, the living man, the life of the
institution, with high honor among his towns
men, a man of indomitable energy, of the very
highest Christian character, and with pro
nounced views well digested. . For seventeen
years he has been working out his idea "that
the most effectual way to get civilization into
the Indian is to get these Indians into civiliza
tion." Through all these years he has had
to contend against great obstacles, traditional
prejudice, misrepresentation in the press, a
congress often hostile, and the most violent
opposition of an ecclesiastical hierarchy. He
carried on his self-sacrificing work with the
conviction that the right would triumph, and
he has lived long enough to see his idea al
most universally approved." — E. L. J.

The Skeleton of De Soto.
St. Louis Republic.
The local historians of Baton Rouge, La.,
believe that the mortal remains of Fernando
De Soto lie buried between two gigantic live
oaks near the present site of Port Hudson.
The books tell different tales about the death
and burial of the great discoverer. Some say
that he was wrapped in his mantle and thrown
in the Mississippi; others that the remains i
were incased in a hollow log. In 1853 three !
hunters— Davis and Hurin— were en- ;
camped near what is now Port Hudson. While
kindling a fire they found a human skeleton
in a hollow log that had been lying In a drift.
The bones were those of a man six feet tall.
In the log a helmet, a rusty sword and a large
bronze crucifix were also found., and on one j
of the fingers of the skeleton's hand, a large
seal ring. The discoverers of this ghastly
memento believe that the remains were those I
of De Soto, the discoverer of the Mississippi j
river. The burial place of the bones is well i
known to the Rlgsbys, who still reside in
Louisiana.

A Dream of the German Emperor.
London Spectator.
A ? dd « 6 , tory is in circulation, which is
probably false, but which is worth record
ing, It is said that among the large projects
over which the German emperor dreams is
one for winning Holland, with her ships,
colonies and commerce, without a war. A
marriage between his eldest son and the
young queen would give him such influence
in Holland that the" Dutch might consent to
enter the empire on the Bavarian terms. To
further this project the kaiser desires to
conciliate Dutchmen, and in the Invasion of
the Transvaal he thought he discerned his
opportunity; hence his telegram and the
abortive effort to introduce German troops
into Pretoria via Delagoa bay. The scheme
is an adroit one, but lacks solid foundation,
for the Dutch are proud of their indepen
dence, and the Boers have no -wish to ex
change King Log for King Stork. They are
most civil to Germany just at present, but
Mr. Hoffmeyr's speech embodies their inner
sentiments.
