through blood brings peace.
when the civil power il PROSTATE, when there
is no help for society. governments appeal TO
force, and find it in its best and most efficient
form in organized armies. In choosing the
profession OF arms you became part Of that
machinery countries make use of to keep the
peace OF society, protect the honor Of nations
and defend territorial rights. The undertaking
at best Is serious from any standpoint. You
engage not only to assist in finding out the
best means Of taking hfe but in certain condi-
tions not only to take but even to give up your
own.
SOME ADVANTAGES OF MILITARY LIFE.
''In entering the army you turn your back on
the chances and opportunities civil life offers to
win great fortune, but you ut once secure for
yourself an independence and high social posi-
ton, as also relief from the uncertainties, ankle
ties and doubts that too often follow a business
career. While you cannot hope to become
milionaires in your profession, you have taken
a bond of fate against ever being dependent.
Your life in the army should begin a life Of
study and improvement. and your aim and best
ambition should be to make the army better
and more efficient than you found it.
In the great rapabhc it il hoped and be-
lieved we are making substantial progress to-
ward permanent peace, but this is not assured.
Our Indian wars, which were begun with the
landing Of the pilgrims, are about atyan end.

frontier in the United States, except that con-
tiguous to foreign territory. ...'I.

Henry Gews' weekly Financial Review" is
sued today, says,
Business at the stock exchange continues to
drift without any fixed direction. Both sides
are waiting for something to turn up but that
something proves to be Of such small influence
as to barely provide the days salt of the room
operators. At the moment the policy of the
bulls" seems to be to give ample rope to the
''bears" with view to catching them on short
contracts, but their contemplated victims
are willy and on the alert, and al
though the market is freely oversold
no ''cornering" has been found possible.
The failure of the New Oriental Bank of Lon
don, with about $35, OOO, 900 of liabilities though
it has not yet had any conspicuous effect on this
market, simply because the supply of our Sc
curities in London happens to be at the mo-
ment exceptionally light, is not without its in
direct significance. The failure is attributed
principally to the decline in silver, and is there
fore very suggestive to the extent to which
the position of silver may have affected other
British banks and also the weighty Manchester
interest SO vitality dependent upon the great
silver-using countries of Asia.

AT THE CAPITOL.
Opinions Of Politicians Of Both Parties ON
the Nominations.

Opinions Of Politicians Of Both Parties ON
the Nominations.
1t was very quiet about the Capitol today
At the Senate end not Senator was in sight
and there were few visitors about. In the
House about twenty members were at their
desks attending to their correspondence and
occasionally talking to a casual newspaper man
about the nominations at Minneapolis.
Mr.. O'Neill of Missouri, in an answer to a
STAR mans inquiry, said he did not see that
the denomination Of Harrison made eleveland's
nomination any more probable than it had
been for a long time. He thought no one else
was in it but Cleveland There were
some other candidates who would receive
small complimentary votes, but they were hardly
to be seriously considered in view OF widespread
Endorsement Of Cleveland.
HELPFUL TO DEMOCRATS.
Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska said: ''Harrison's
nomination win be especially helpful to the
democrats Of the west, because he represents all
that is stalwart in the republican party The
Young men are drifting to the democracy and
there Is nothing about Harrison to change the
drift. He represents all that il high in protec-
ton and all that Is bitter in partissnship.

gained, but win unite all factions OF the party

HIS ELECTION DIFFICULT.
Judge Wolverton Of Pennsylvania, . demo
crat, regarded Harrison's nomination a. prob
ably the strongest one the republicans could
have made. But his election would be made
difficult by the feeling among the workers. Of

day il was feared be could not recover. The
following day he rallied TO such an extent that
DIR. Hays felt justified in issuing bulletin stat

for the better was a brief one. Ii was finally
determined to remove him to Garfield Hospital

death he was serving his third term rs president
OF the body to which he has given much Of
his time and attention. Col. Folks home was
at Raleigh, n. c. He leaves wife and three
children.
The death Of Col. Polk is a severe loss to the
Farmers Alliance and from the members Of
that body in Washington are heard many ex-
pressions of regret over his sudden demise.
Col. Polk was a man Of fine appearance. with
a large heart, kindly nature and a frank dis
position that made friend OF every one he
met. He was Of great value TO his party as a

SECRETARY ELKISs' ADDRESS.
''Gentlemen of the graduating GLASS; You are

One helped to found, the other helped to save
the republic. In hundred years there have
been nineteen Presidents Of the United States
elected by the people, nine Of whom
were generals in the army. The army stood by
the cradle Of the republic and nursed
into existence. the best attempt ut free govern
ment the world has yet seen. When threatened
with division and destruction it came to the
rescue and saved the republic which it had
done so much to establish. During a century
II has defended the honor of the nation in -four
wars. At times it has been the largest organ
lied army known to the world and during its
general educated at West Point.

what it is today we have drawn on the military
usages and science of war of all the ages. II
needs to be we'll understood to be managed in
whole or in part. Change is not reform and
any reform attempted in the army should bt
long and carefully considered. The army, how.
ever, il not perfect organization. To claim
this would be to discount the centuries and
leave you and those who come after you with
ont the incentive to do something better thar
those who have gone before you.

yelopmsnt in civilization the world gets ready

THE ONE-MILE LIMIT.


The Law Being Evaded and Many Saloons
Now that Lawyer Tobriner's pleas in liz uor
cases have partially upset the liquor law and
resulted in the opening Of numerous saloons in
the one-mile limit he intends attacking another
branch Of the law, so that by the time he con-
cludes Congress will find it necessary TO pass an
act Of some kind in order to have the sale of
liquor regulated by the Commissioners.
PLACES OPENED.
A number Of places have been opened in the
mile limi during the past two days and the ap-
plicAnts are still rendering the license money,
which is, Of course, rufused.
A resident Of the mile limit said today that
persons who had never sold liquor be-
fore now were preparing to open sa-
looms. The same $l00, he said, was being
used by different persons. Some Of the appli-
cants he knew did not have that amount Of
money and IL the Commissioners would accept
one or two tenders IL would put = stop to the
business.
THE COLLECTORS JOKE.
One man, he aid, who rendered his s100 was

said he would accept it, and had the joke been
kept up little longer the man would have
Withdrawn his money and then failed to open a
