Promise Made to His Dead Wife.
Bovine GREEN, KY, Feb. Mick
Heminger committed suicide at his
room in this city. He attempted to
commit suicide in Allen county about
one month ago, but was unsuccessful
He is farmer, and when his wife was
on her deathbed she exacted promise
from him that he would never leave the
farm to live. Heminger, however, said
to his friends several days ago that he
was tired Of living on the farm, and
rather than break his promise to his
wife he would kill himself. So far as
is known that is the only reason for the
suicide, which was accomplished with
morphine.

sugar, which is now much the largest

AN English Speaking Race Combine.
NEW York, Feb, 7,-Regarding Eng
lands attitude in the Hawaiian affair
the London correspondent Of morn
ing paper cables:
Whatever may be said, England at
heart would be glad to see America
annex the Hawaiian islands. She has
too much to look after herself and does
not want them, but does not want any
other, country except America to inter
fere. Here is her attitude as voiced by
thespeaker Saturday:
"The first article Of England's foreign
policy in the future must be the cultiva-
| tion of an identity of interests with
America, with the ultimate aim of form
| ing great defensive alliance of the
English-speaking powers. We must
stand by America in the course which
| the natural expansion Of her interests
| prescribeS to her as necessary.
| tNo statesman who can see beyond
/, his nose has failed to note the tenden.
eies which are irresistihlyy driving Amer.
| lea from her comfortable entrenchment
of negation in the Monroe doctrine
Her interests and responsibilities abroad
have grown in spite of her and have
become too great to permit her to con-
tinue in her old and blissful indifference
| TO external affairs.
"The alliance of kindred blood, kin
dred speech, kindred interests will bt
that between the great powers of the
English-speaking race. They, too, will
be able to stand for civilization against
allits enemies and may prove the ulti.
mate saviors of culture and peace"

ApVERTIsINa RATES.
THE SENSATIONAL.

One half the world, it is
said, creates surprise and di-
version for the other half.
And then the first half by re-
alizing its work, finds amuse-
ment, recreation and food for
thought. And thus we all are
entertained and find life rob-
ed Of its gloomy aspect. Then,
taking this view of it, the ''sen-
sational" is not always to be
condemned. In many cases
surprise is often termed SEN
8ational, but this is not to be
commended, for many object
to the term.
We can cite to you many
surprises that partake of the
sensational phase and which
are good and wholesome sur
prises, too, doing nobody any
harm, instead everybody a
large portion of good, but

What is needed is the gradual diffusion
throughout all classes of society Of this whole-
some sense that children are no longer helpless
against cruel parents; that there is a strong
social indignation springing up which will not
hesitate to interfere with parental oppressors
of any class, rich or poor, and thai this inter-
ference will be strongly backed by the law. As
we have seen it, it is not poverty and misery
which chiefly promote crneltv to children; on
the contrary it is the self-wiii which is oftener
found in conjunction with good wages or even
with something like wealth than it is with the
humiliation OF the severest want. Cruelty
grows high stomach and fuilness of bread,
not starvation and the bitterest sense Of want.
What we need is the extension OF this society Q
operations in the same sober and temperate
spirit in which it's work has been hitherto car
ried on. till it covers the whole land, and COW
ers 1t with an agency which strengthens the
kind parent to resist and protest against the
conduct of the cruel parent and kind ueghbors
to interfere in the comparatively rare cases
where both parents are alike cruel. We must
stimulate the growth Of social power which
shall be almost omnipresent. SO to arrest
effectually the spread OF those Overgrown and
hideous wens OF arbitrary seif-wiii under which
the helpless wither the grass withers under a
view trees shade. Wherever there is a social
life al all there should be no such thing as the
heiplessness of children.
