to revise the tariff this machine beat him in

ssCURFEw SHALL NOT RING.

There is perhaps not one person in hum
dred but is familiar with the poem, Cur
few Shall Not Ring Tonight" and yet
there is not one of the hundred who can
tell the name of the author The poem
was written nineteen years ago by ROSE
HARTwIcK. a Michigan girl, but did not
find its way into print for three years after
wards. The author was not pleased with
her own production, and withheld it from
publication. 1t was her first effort. and
was laid away until one day. in an eXtrem-
ity to fulfill an engagement to furnish the
Detroit Commercial Advertiser with Ger
tain amount of copy each week, and not
having anything Oh hand when the demand
was made for it, she took the manuscript
down from its dusty shelf and sent it to the
publisher with instructions to put it in the
waste basket if he didn't think it worth
publishing. 1t was published, however,
and in less than week was copied into all
the leading dailies in the country. Miss
HARTwICK has since married a Mr.
THoRP, and now lives at Grand Rapids
On a recent visit to Chicago, the Tribune
said of her: ''She is bright and entertain
ing in manner, and by no means shows her
five and thirty years. She has never
written anything of note except her Cur
few" but derives quite an income from her
children's stories, which she is writing with
some success"

STILL ANOTHER.


The Republican situation in this state is
still further complicated by the impression
which is abroad that Maj. STRAIT is on a
still hunt for the gubernatorial nomination.
Candidates GILMAN and McGILL have
loosened their grip on each others hair-long
enough to look around for the knot-hole
that STRAIT is expected to crawl through.
Maj. STRAIT has the reputation of being
successful still hunter. Whenever he goes
out cunning he is very apt to return with
game in his bag. His reputation in this re-
spect is calculated to give the other candi-
dates little uneasiness. He has made no
declaration of his candidacy nor of his pur-
pose to become candidate. Neither has
any friend felt authorized to announce him
as a candidate. But there have been some
movements which are calculated to
give credence to the rumor of his
being candidate. The fact that
the Republican congressional convention in
the Third district was postponed until
after the state convention gave rise to sus-
piciOD that it was a piece OF skilltul STRAIT
egy on the part of Maj. STRAIT. The
nearest thing to proper conclusion con-
was that Maj. STRAIT intended to enter
the canvass as a candidate for the guber-
material nomination, and in the event he
failed on that, then he would pop up as
candidate for denomination in his own dis
trict. Those who have been watching the
primaries affirm that the delegates from the
Third district to the state convention are
STRAIT delegates. Ii this be true it will
give him boost at the start. and will
break in materially on the calculations of
GIBBS, GILMAN and MCGILL, ali of whom
are expecting considerable support from that
section. Those who have been attending
comfy conventions and primaries that have
been held in other districts affect to have
discovered that there were friends of
STRAIT on the ground quietly getting their
work in for the major. If these things be
true, then the other candidates have good
ground for apprehension. Nothing but an
open letter from Maj. STRAIT affirming
that he is not a candidate and would not
accept the nomination if rendered to him
on silver platter, will quiet the nervous
ness of the other gubernatorial aspirants.
If the major has a spark of pity in his
breast he will hurry up with the letter.

kidney diseases, apoplexes, insanity and
idiocy, have markedly increased. He makes
it appear from these statistics that deaths
are less frequent from those diseases which
depend upon zymotic influence and ignorant
methods of living, while those due to ex-
posures, malnutrtion, the poison of alcohol
and the toxic agents that affect the organs
of the human system are more numerous
Diseases that evidence breakdown of the
system or a faint inherited or acquired are
cOrrespondingly more comlSon. From a
careful estimate of the proportonate num-
Der of the invalid, defective, dependent
classes he figures out that of every 10, 600
persons in Europe or the United States,
there are sos defective and more or less de-
pendent. Among 10000 male adults
in the working years of life. over
2, 500 are not sufficiently perfect, physically,
for military service. For every 10, 600 chill
dren born alive there are LOCO born dead,
too often because of an unhealthy or Grim
NAL parentage. He also shows that in
most countries there is now steady in
crease in the number of the insane and idi-
otto. of the deaf mutes, of inebriates and
criminals, and in the number of suicides
and still births And there has also been
an inormous increase in the number of
medical men of late years. And as tue in
crease Of doctors is coincident with the in
crease in chronic sickness, in mental and
physical valetudinarianism, he argues that
as doctors once got rich upon smallpox they
now flourish in trebled numbers upon the
no IF apd tho int
ateness of men. He says that every physi-
clan who has experience in nervous
diseases is struck with the fact
that the race is being filled with persons
who have some degenerative faint or con-
stitutional vice. 1t is those who misuse
narcotics and stimulants who are epileptic,
hypochondriacal, cranky and even criminal.
And then he says no other results are to be
expected when our daily multiplying asy-
lums and hospitals pour forth vast numbers
of those who are crippled and sickly, but
still able to exist and propagate their kind.
This brings Dr. DANA to the suggestion of
a remedy which will not be accepted with
the same concurrence with which his state
ments are accepted. He suggests heroic
treatment, such as prevailed in Greece in
its palmiest days. The Spartans. the most
valorous of all the Greeks. did not allow
the helpless class to grow up. This is
very practical age. but it's utlitarian tinge
will hardly induce us to go back to the
methods of ancient Sparta. At the same
time we will sooner or later be compelled
to do away with a great deal of the nom
productive sentimentality that prevails in
systems of modern CHARITY

about dozen beer glasses were hurled into
the diamond from two of the stands. The
disturbance was confined to the few hood

suppressed, no one being hurt. The de-

IS THE RACE DEGENERATINGs

IS IhE IACE DEG EN- GRATING!
1t looks as though this old world of ours
was getting to be something of a paradox
when our best thinkers and wisest philoso-
pliers are propounding the question whether
or not it is charity to be charitable. The
suggestion is made, and with some degree
of force, that the establishment of so many
charitable and reformatory institutions has
had tendency to degenerate society. 1t
is urged by the promulgators of this doctrine
that when the citizen knows that, however
vile. worthless or improyident his life, the
state will nurse him when he is sick, and
will feed and clOthe him when he becomes
a pauper, and will shelter his offspring and
try to rear them for him when his shat
tered hulk is in its declining years, or has
been laid in the grave. there is no incentive
to him to be IaW-abiding citi-
zen or sober, provident man.
1t is claimed that our humans
tartan methods are demoralizing society.
In recent magazine article, DR.. CHARLES
l.. DANA goes further and asserts that the
apparent brilliant results of sanitary meas
ureS are not fruitful of good, but that, in
part because of them, there is a steady in
crease in the proportionate number of the
defective, the dependent, the chronic in
valid and the degenerative classes. In
support of this position, he arrays the vital
statistics of Great Britain and America and
shows that among the different groups into
which diseases are divided-the constitu-
tional, the zymotic or miasmatic, the de-
veiopmental and the local-the only marked
mortality decrease obtained in late years is
in the zymotic, while marked increase is
noticeable in the death rates from
local diseases-those of the heart.

were negligent in their work and careless
in the choice of the material used. 1t is
conceded, in the urgent necessity which ex-
listed for the immediate rebuilding of the
capitol after the fire, that certain amount
of f1imsiness was inevitable. but in the
particular point referred to there should
have been no slurring or Sinking. The
work of fire prooting the building was an
expensive one, costing some $50, 900, and
owing to its peculiar nature could not
be rectified without considerable ex-
pense. 1t was worthless unless
perfectly done. as the sequel has proven,
and should, therefore, have been most
carefully carried on. 1t is now found nee
essary, because of some ones incompe-
tence, to take out the fire. proof material at
an expense of something like SIS. 900, and
the state, accordingly, will find itself just
that much out of pocket, in addition to the
first cost. Evidently more vigorous sys-
tenn of inspection is needed in connection
with public buildings. To the proper au-
thorities might be commended the homely,
truthful adage: IAN ounce of prevention
is worth pound of cure" and the present
instance OF the capital building furnishes
them with an excellent Illustration of the
maxim.

factor they form in the life of the territory,
| the Dickey county women have come to the
conclusion they can best assert their indie
pendence and best compel a recognition
from the opposite sex of their necessity by
seeking political preferment. Accordingly
one of their number has been nominated for
superintendent of public schools, and they
