According to the view of one moral
ist, the young man leaving college
~ . „ does not especially
lap Man \\ I',o Him '
need ihe encour-
Ousetl to I.enrn. , . ,
agenielit lavished
upon him in commencement week.
He lias ideals and enthusiasm and self
coniidence. A single word, a trite
maxim, will kindle his ambition. The
person who really needs the attention
of the commencement week speakers
is the man who has passed his college
days and lias found to his dismay that
sheer force of circumstances has
crowded him into a rut. This is the
individual whose mind has stopped
growing and who fancied that his edu
cation was "completed" when he left
his high school or academy or college.
Very likely some misguided professor
assured him at the time that his edu
cation would prove invaluable to liim.
lie looks back and fails to see where
it has advanced liim materially. lie
has forgotten most of the facts he
learned save a few vague generaliza
tions. lie would be at a loss to ex
tract the square root of any number
of four figures; he could not construe
a Latin sentence or conjugate a Latin
verb to save his life; physics, chem
istry, mathematics- all are sealed
books to him. That he decides to put
these things behind him, concludes
that his time for education is past,
and puts aside with sullen resignation
all future opportunities for learning
is not, perhaps, surprising. It would
be a noble service for the baccalaure
ate orators to get hold of this individ
ual, whose age may be anywhere be
tween 3d and 75, and make liim see how
foolish he is.

Merc comradeship, says the Onlook
er, and even the company of one's j
enemies do the latter, and one will
whet his intellect on them as a boar '
whets his tusks against a tree. Men J
of themselves and solitary are but |
unintelligent little things, and would i
be mentally scarce superior to dogs
and apes were it not for what is of- j
fered by those about them. Your |
man is like a match which must find !
some, hard quality without itself j
against which it must strike before j
it will burn. He has no power of
self-ignition. Yet while simple com
pany, and even that of a foe, will
strengthen and teach growth to one's
understanding just as a wrestler
toughens and waxes strong while he
exerts himself against an adversary,
there /s a virtue to be drawn from
friendship and a health in kindly con*
fidenee which will owe itself to no
other origin or source.
Our xdmiration goes out to Mrs.
Joraleinon, of Los Angeles, who has
sued Senator Dorsey for $-150,000 for
breach of promise of marriage. That
is putting advanced womanhood at
about its proper figure. A few, years
ago, says Uoswell Field, in the Chi
cago i'ost, woman in her modesty
and self-depreciation was putting
her value at sums ranging from
$5,000 to $25,000, but with the grow
ing importance and commanding in
fluence of the sex these cheap old
standards are tottering. She is a
pretty poor sort of woman who ad
mits that her affections are not close
up to the half-million mark. Of
course, it does not follow that a,man
will be expected to pay such a sum;
it is merely a conservative estimate
of personal feminine worth. Mrs.
Joraleinon, of Los Angeles, has evi
dently profited by the late conven
tion of women's clubs.
The learned judge in St. Louis who
ruled that a dog should not be killed
as "dangerous" because he bit a
small boy who was trying to dignify
the canine tail with u tin can at
tachment is in direct line for the
supreme bench—unless the people
decide that he is too good a man
lo be wasted. The only thing neces
sary to complete his ruling, suggests
the Chicago Post, was the opinion
that the boy was dangerous— not
dangerous enough to be killed, of
course, but sufficiently dangerous to
lie spanked early and often.
OkATORY OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Krpul-llenn S|irakrrii nn<l Uorkrri
Will llavr an Agreeable
TimU to Perform.
According to one of the democratic
campaign managers the republicans
intend to give oratory a place of spe
cial importance in the congressional
canvass of lUO2. I'roUably there is
truth in the ussertion. ike onuvatb
will be uctive and exciting. This oiueli
can be relied on, says the Bt. Louis
Globe-Democrat, it will be waged in
380 congressional districts. Every
community in the whole country will
have an interest in it, and will be able
to see and take part in some of it.
The republican newspapers, of course,
will have to do the heavy part of the
campaign work, as they have had to
do in all recent canvasses. They can
reach a hundred persons to every one
who can be personally addressed by
the stump speakers. By printing the
speeches of the stump orators the
newspapers give the spellbinders an
immensely larger audience than they
; otherwise could command. Moreover,
| the facilities of the newspapers to do
j this work of enlightenment are grow
j ing every day, as their millions of
readers will see in the coming cam
] paign.
I 1 >llll here is a special incentive for the
republican campaign managers to put
I a large and active corps of stump
j (speakers in the field this year. In the
| recent session of congress much im
portant work was done. Other tasks
of great consequence will be performed
in the session which opens next De
cember. Seldom has ihe republican
party been so well provided with able
and worthy leaders as it is at this mo
ment. The work of president and
congress have given satisfaction to
the country. This is particularly true
of the west, where the canvass i* to be
more active, according to the pro
gramme, than any congressional cam
paign of recent times. The national
irrigation bill, which has just passed
congress, was, of course, in the inter
est of the west solely, so fiir as regards
its direct effects. The canal scheme,
which has been pushed to enactment,
has a great interest for the west in the
cheapened rates which it will bring
for the transportation of all the west's
commodities across the continent or
to Asia and Africa. Several new In
dian reservations were thrown open
to settlement during the recent ses
sion.
The west's pleasure in contemplat
ing the political situation has been
shown by its leading republican news
papers and all ihe conventions which
have been held in the western states
tIKS year. President Itooscvelt's !
course has been warmly indorsed in i
nil of them, ami in several of them he j
has been proposed for the nomination i
in 1904, which is an altogether unexam- j
pled thing for so many states to do j
two years in advance of the meeting
of the national conventions. Congress' j
work has been commended in all the
republican state gatherings which |
have been held this year. In the cam- |
paign in Oregon a few weeks ago, in 1
which that state's two members of
the house of representatives were
elected, the republicans had a major
ity never closely approached before,
even in the presidential canvass of
1900. Large majorities will be rolled
up for the congressmen who will be
chosen a few weeks hence in Maine and
\ ermont. The conditions never looked
fairer for the republicans than they do
at present. Nobody wonders that the
republican campaign managers are
exuberant, and that they intend to
put a large corps of orators in the field.
'1 he republican newspapers and stump
speakers will have a decidedly agree
able task in this campaign in setting
forth the work of their party in the
recent session of congress, and in idl
ing the country the advances which it
has made in prosperity at home and in
prestige abroad as a result of wise and
popular policies.
Tli r IIMI M by Deivey,
Adtmiral Dewey's testimony the oth
er day before the senate committee
on the Philippines is corroborative of
the facts stat.edi heretofore. There
was no alliance with Agtiinaldio, no im
portance was attached! to his move
ments., and at no time could Aguinaldo
have captured' Manila. The Spanish
governor general had really surren
dered the city to Admiral Dewey be
fore a gun was fired, but wanted) a
show of force to save his honor.
Dewey constantly reported after May
1, 1808. that he could take the city at
any time. The d.emoerats will hardi
ly impeach Admiral Dewey's state
ments on these points, as lie is affili
ated with them, audi ma,v again be a
candidate for their nomination to the
presidency. His refreshing of the pub
lic memory on the fact thai Aguinaldo
was no ally or confederate of his is es
pecially timely when so many of his
fello\v-democrats are making their
campaign on the false proposition that
Dewey had him for his ally. The
democracy is getting many home
thrusts this year from its own ranks.

Democrat.* nmfc the Tariff.
Since silver if a leading issue and
ami-imperialism will not do at all the
democrats seem much inclined to tie
up once more to tariff reform. They
won with it in 1892, and that encour
ages them'to think tlnit they may pos
sibly do the same thing again. JSut
the country knows * lot more about
the practical workings of the tariff
than it did ten. years ago. It has
had object, lessons, the firsit being the

which the country and its industries
seemed fast going to the dogs. Then

THE ISSUE THAT DECIDES.
rru»pf rlty I n«l«'r It <-pnhi l<-n u \<linin
iKlrutitiii (Ivf'rNhntldUM All
Oilier Ituolliinii.
The fact that will decide the con
gressional elections of 1!)02, as it kas
decided national elections for many
years past, and will, it may fairly he
predicted, for many years to come, is
the unprecedented and unparalleled
prosperity of the United States under
the administration of public affairs
by the republican party. All other
questions of governmental relations
and internal methods dwindle into
comparative insignificance before the
immense success of this country in its
industrial and commercial activities.
With America so successful a bidder
for the world's trade that all other
nations are apprehensive competitors,
and with as a result the roaring of the
machinery of industrial establish
ments throughout this country, the
trader and the workingman are not
disposed to look with equanimity upon
any proposal to change these condi
tions by admitting to national power
the party which has advocated the op
posite policies, says the Troy Times.
The United States has had its bitter
experience of swapping pilots while
sailing the stream of prosperity, and
is not inclined to repeat that dark
chapter of history. If "Let well enough
alone" is a good motto, it cannot be a
poor one to say: "Be satisfied with
the best."
Hight in accord with this line of
thought is the concise and pithy re
mark of the New York Sun, which
says:
"N< Sthf-r Cuban reciprocity r.or tru tism
will decide the struggle to elect a m ijor
lty in the house of representative*. That,
in so far as it is thought to bear upon the
campaign to elect a president to conn two
years later, will hinge upon the preserva
tion of the country's prosperity, growth
and Industrial repose ar.d health, all of
which have made a won<!< r of the period of
republican control of the white house .ar.d
capltol.
"The contest will be to sustain or to de
feat the republican party and its policy in
the country, Theodore Roosevelt btii.g

Alonzo I!. Cru/.en. collector of cus

will remain at Ebbitt house for sev

a banker at Curtis. Neb., ami was ap
pointed to his present position less
than a year ago, says the Washington
Post.
"Before 1 went to Porto Kico I was
a protectionist, but since 1 have seen
what protective tarilf has done for
that little island. I am more firmly
grounded' in my belief that protective
tariff is the mainstay of a country's
prosperity." Mr. .Cruzen saidthe other
night. "In the United States every
thing in the commercial world l is on
such a grand- scale that it is impos
sible to appreciate the effects of the
tariff, but in Porto llico I have had
an opportunity tost «dy a miniature
country, which has been raised above
all its sister islands by protection.
"Workmen from all the West In
ches want to come to Porto Kico, be
cause the wages, there have advanced
so materially, but Porto Kicans make
it unpleasant for immigrants. Prac
tically! all the people-in the island are
proudl of being part of the United.
States and look down upon people from
islands which are undier the control
of other nations. The increase in
wages came as a direct result of the
admission of Porto Riean products to
the United States free of duty. All
the money the United Stales loses in
duties comes back to this country for
provisions and supplies of all sorts.
Nearly all the flour, meat, rice and
other provisions uscdl in the island are
brought from the United States. With
the increase in wages the laborers have
begun to live better, and. every year
Porto Kico will grow to be a greater
consumer of American food.stuffs.
Within the last year there has i#rvn
an increase of 4.'! per cent, in the ex

Washington, July 23.—Secretary
Koot yesterday issued tiie following
address to the army:
"With Iho reduction of the Philip
pine force and the withdrawal from
Cuba, the army is called upon tore-
Fume its most important work in time
of peace—the work of perfecting it
self in military science and skill. I
wish to call your attention to the
conditions which now require especial
effort and zeal on your purt in the
performance of this duty.
"Since the declaration of war with
Spain there have been appointed in
the line of the army 1.542 lieutenants,
in addition to 270 appointed from the
military academy. Of these, 610 were
appointed from the volunteers, 414
were appointed from the enlisted men
of the regular anil volunteer armies
and 512 were appointed from civil
life.
"The abandonment of the military
schools for commissioned officers
which followed the employment, of
the entire army in active military
operations, has left these 1.542 new
lieutenants substantially without any
means of acquiring a systematic
military education. While many of
the former officers of volunteers
have acquired the most valuable ex
perience by active service in the
field, yet it is of great importance
to them, as well as to the untrained
appointees from civil life and from
the ranks, that they shall have an op
portunity for thorough training, both
practical and theoretical, under the
competent masters in the arm of war
whom our army is able to supply.
"Congress has made provision for
the re-opening of the army schools,
has given its sanction to the general
system of military education em
bodied in the general order of Novem
ber 27 last, including tiie enlarge
ment and development of the Fort
Leavenworth school into a general
service and staff college, the estab
lishment of the war college at Wash
ington with suitable buildings, and
the rebuilding of the engineer
school, and has made ample appro
priations for these purposes.
"Every effort will be made by the
war college board, which has charge
of the whole system, to bring its ad
vantages to the new officers of the
array as speedily as possible and to
organize officers' schools at all the
considerable posts without delay. I
ask for hearty co-operation with
them on the part of every officer of
the army. There are 1,452 graduates
of the military academy now holding
commisisons. They especially have an
opportunity to demonstrate loyalty
to the principles of that institution
by helping to diffuse throughout tiie
service the benefits which have come
to them from their four years of hard
study."

Washington, July 2li.—Secretary
Root has sent to the president the
proceedings and findings in the eourt
tnartial crises of Major Edwin F.
Glenn, Fifth infantry; Lieut. Julien
E. Gaujot, Tenth cavalry, and Lieut.
Xorman E. Cook, of the Philippine
scouts. Glenn was found guilty of
administering the water cure to na
tives, or permitting it to be done, and
was sentenced to one month's suspen
sion from duty and fined SSO.
Lieut. Cook was acquitted on a
charge of giving orders to kill three
of the prisoners. The testimony
showed that he had given orders lo
shoot the prisoners if they attempt
ed to escape. The Filipino scouts to
whom this order was given thought it
meant to shoot the prisoners.
In forwarding the cases to the
president the secretary recommends
that the sentences and findings be
approved, but that no other action
shall be taken. It is not believed that
the president, who is the reviewing
authority in these cases, will make
any comments such as were delivered
by him in the case of Gen. Smith. It
is shown in the evidence and reports
that Major Glenn has performed ex
cellent service.

Washington, July 23.—The follow

otliee of the secretary of the treas
ury yesterday: "Numerous inquiries
have been received at the treasury
department relative to the truth or
falsity of the alleged assertion of
Secretary Sha-.v that he was in favor
of a five-year limit for service in the
treasury department. The original
newspaper article and those that fol
lowed it, stating that the secretary
believed a departmental employe lost
his usefulness after five years in the
government service were so ridicu
lously improbable that they were
never dignified by a denial. That a
great many people have taken these
articles seriously has been demon
strated by the number of inquiries,
not only from Washington, but from
all over the. country.
"To avoid further misconception of
the facts in the case, it may be an
nounced on absolute authority that,
no such remark or explanation was
ever made by Secretary Shaw and
that the articles purporting to re
port his attitude as a headsman are
made out of vfhole cloth."

Paris. July 24. —The agitation pro
voked by the order of Prime Minis
ter ( ombes to ebisp the congregation
ist. schools recalls to some extent the
scenes enacted when M. Ferrv, then
premier, expelled the Jesuits in ISSO.
Demonstrations in favor of the nuns
and the teaching friars are taking
place in Paris and many places in the
provinces, where the prefects pre
sented themselves at the schools and
ordered that the institutions be
closed. I'p to the present, however,
no serious incident lias been recorded.
The nationalists have joined the
clericals in engineering the agitation,
and their leaders are in the fore
front of the effervescence in Paris.
Considerable sympathy has been
worked up on behalf of the nuns, and
their schools have been made the
particular objects of demonstrations.
Ihe clericals called upon their sym
pathizers to meet outside of the
school conducted by the Sisters of St.
Vincent de Paul in the northeast
quarter of Paris, which was closed
yesterday afternoon, and a consider
able crowd gathered there, compelling
n large body of police and mounted
municipal guards to form a cordon
in the streets leading to the school.
A few trifling collisions occurred be
tween the clericals and counter
demonstrators.
The greatest excitement in the
provinces is displayed in the clerical
stronghold of Brittany, where the
peasants gathered in front of the
nuns' schools in several places and
declared they would not allow the
nuns to be expelled. For instance,
at Landcrneau a crowd of farmers
and women mounted guard before
the school of the sisters awaiting the
arrival of the police. The inhabitants
of the village of I'loudaniel, who also
are guarding the sisters' school,
seized a lay schoolmaster and
thrashed him with nettles. At L.i
Uressc, in the Yosges, the commis
sary of police, accompanied by gen
darmes, thrice tried to approach the
congregationist school in order to
effect its closure, but was obliged to
abandon the attempt because of the
threatening attitude of"the popula
tion.
At St. Ambroix, near Ximes, the
demonstrators detached the horses
from the carriages which were con
veying the sisters to the railway sta
tion, and dragged the vehicles, with
their occupants, back to the convent,
shouting "Down with the Tyrants."
The gendarmes were powerless to
prevent the demonstrators from car
rying out their plans, and reinforce
ments had to be summoned. Against
these and similar incidents, however,
must be set off the addresses in sup
port of the government voted by
many municipal councils.

Baltimore, July 24.—1t is an
nounced at Baltimore & Ohio head
quarters that the Pittsburg, Cleve
land & Toledo railroad between New
Castle Junction, Pa., and Akron, (1.,
will be practically rebuilt at a cost
of $4,0(10.000. The road will be
straightened and the heavy grades
reduced to a maximum of 19 feet to
the mile.
From .\ew Castle Junction to
St rut hers, a distance of 14 miles, the
line will be double tracked. At New
Castle Junction, which is the termi
nal of the Pittsburg and New Castlo
divisions, a yard costing approximate
ly SOOO,OOO will be built this fall.
A spur eight and one-half miles
long will be built around Youngstown
on the right of way of the Trumbull
& Mahoning railroad, which is now
controlled by the Baltimore & Ohio.
This line will not only open up valu
able freight territory, but will enable
trains to move more rapidly, the
Youngstown tracks at present cross
ing several railroads at grade, result
ing in many delays.
From Xiies to Ravenna the line
will be shortened by several miles
and it will be entirely reconstructed
and shortened between Ravenna and
Cuyahoga Falls.
This work will be placed under
contract in the near future, and it is
expected will be tinished within 18
months.

and foams the Spearfish river The river
has a deep fall in one place, making one of
the prettiest cascades one would care to
see. And, by the way, if one is partial to
waterfalls, the Cheyenne river falls should
not be missed. Spearfish canyon, thirty-two
miles long, is a most impressive freak of na
ture.
Battle mountain, the Wind cave, the
Onyx cave, the many queer-shaped rocks
that are known by various names, the gulch
es and little lakes and rivers, the famous
"Dakota Bad Lands," the big geyser at
Cascade Springs, are all wonderful, beau
tiful. inspiring, and interesting. The most
traveled traveler s knowledge and enjoy
ment is incomplete if he has not visited tie
Black Hills.
