r. B. SPEED.

). B. Cook In the Missouri Editor.
No profession in Missouri contains
80 many self made men as that of
journalism. In fact you can count
on the fingers of one hand the sue
cesstul newspapermen in the state
who had "a start in life." The most
of them were brought face to face
with perplexing responsibilities in
their boyhood and only few of
them knew anything of college life.
The. knowledge was gained in the
rough school of experience and ne
cessity and they have succeeded in
spite of obstacles which only men of
force and character can overcome.
do not disparage the worth OF
single member OF the profession in
this state of progressive journalism
when | express the conviction that
among those whose measure OF sue
cess has been the fullest the name of
Richard B. Speed stands easily first.
When / first knew Mr.. Speed,
something over twenty years ago, he
was working on the Warrenton Ban
ner. His salary was not calculated to
cause him to lose any sleep over the
income tax. Few of his days had
been spent at school, and those only
at such as the very defective public
school system of that period afforded.
In fact, know OF no one in the edi-
toiial profession in Missouri whose
school advantages were SO limited,
with the single exception Of the
writer OF this article. And yet
among all the newspaper men in this
state none have stored a gleater
knowledge of the worlds events or
put this knowledge to better use than
the level headed and tireless editor
Of the Nevada Mail.
1t was some time during the sum-
mer Of 1873 that Mr.. Speed purchased
a half interest in the Banner. Sub
sequently he became sole proprietor
of the paper and made it welcome
visitor to substantially every house.
hold in that county. For ten years
he was one of less than half dozen
democrats who SO managed political
affairs in Warren as to elect a ma
jority of the county ticket in spite of
the two thirds republican majority.
This success was made possible only
through the able management OF the
Banner.
1t was in 1882, think, when Mr..
Speed went to Nevada and joined
with j. A. Knott in conducting the
Mail The wider field served to
develop exceptional newspaper tai
ent and Mr.. Speed has steadily
grown in the profession to which he
has devoted his entire business life.
l have known Dick Speed best in
the sphere Of trusted friendship.
For years we were associated in bus
mess and for many months were
thrown constantly together in the
closest personal friendship. When
young men" we boarded at the
same house and for years occupied
the same room. No man was truer
to those who merited his confidence
and none deserved more thoroughly
the confidence in which he was held.
/ suppose he had his faults. All of us
have, but never knew what Speeds
were. TO me he was always the
just, generous and noble man.

Gov. Mckinley eulogized the char
acter of Gen. Grant, "the hero of
Belmont, Shiloh, Donelson, Vicks-
burg, Lookout Mountain, the Wilder
ness, Petersburg and Appomattox," ;"
said the orator, and may be we'll
called the unconditional victor "
Gen. Grants career from the time
he left his shop in Galena until his
death at Mount McGregor was hur-
riedly, but graphically, outlined.
Gen. Grant, said Gov. Mckinley,
stood in his civil station battling for
the loyal fruits Of war, that they
may be firmly secured to the living
and to their posterity forever. His
arm was never lifted against the
right; his soul abhorred the wrong.
His veto Of the imitation bill, his or
ganization OF the Geneva arbitration
commission to settle the claims of
the United States against England; {;
his strong but conciliatory foreign
policy; his constant care to have no
policy against the will OF the people;
his enforcement OF the constitution
and its maintenance in every part of
the republic; his faith at home and
abb DAD; his administration, strong,
wise and patriotic. Likewise was
his civil admins stration. He was
one Of the few whose name will
never die. With no disparagement
to others, two names rise above all
others in American history since
Washington-transc, niently above
them. They are Abraham Lincoln
and Ulysses s. Grant. Each will be
remembered for what he did and
accomplished for his race and for
mankind.

MRS. GEO. W. CABLE.

From the Ladies' Home Journal.
After meeting Mrs. Gable at a
dinner party in Boston, Mrs. Harriet
Prescott Spofford said, "she is like

scription can be given Of the charm

the American flag, which he did, and
then the minister and secretary, in
full view Of the excited crowd, step
ped forth on the veranda beneath its
folds. Instantly the shouts were
hushed, the fury of the mob began
to abate and the muskets dropped
by the soldiers sides which a mo-
ment before had been pointed with
deadly intent at the home and the
person Of our minister. Dread and
awe Of the flag quieted the mob
He announced that he was the ac-
credited minister of our government.
The leaders hastily consulted, the
mob melted away and guards were
placed by the insurgents by the min
i2tsz's home 70 project 1t and him
md sif who sought protection under
it's roof and within it's walls. Why?
It represented the dignity and power
Of the United States and commanded
instant respect. When our flag was
unfurled it did what an armed force
could not hive done without blood
shed; it was the voice of command;
1t represented the force OF the United
States. A shot fred at the flag was
a shot fred at the United States, and
as the wild mob respected its power
it respected the flag which symbol
lied 1t. Let all OF US unite in secur-
ing continued respect for the glori-
ous old banner and hold fast and
true to that spirit which in the past
has been quick to resent an insult to
it,"

Secretary Gresham was born near
Lanesville, in Harrison county, Ind,
on the 18th of March, 1882. The
associations of Gen. Gresham in
Indiana were mostly among demo-
Gratis. Some of his most intimate
and boon companions were the
strongest Of democrats! Tho demo
Gratis there always liked the man

A RECENT leading editorial In
the Washington Pest was headed,

ter ?" In the course Of the article
there is kindly mention of the Re
public and the remark that 1.-THE
objection to Mr.. Thurston was
purely personal" The Pest then
pays the very highest tributes to
Frank P. Hastings. 1t tells OF
his excellent record, his connec-
tons, his ability and his influence
in Washington. The concluding
paragraph of third of column
reads: "Our information is to the
effect that Mr.. Hastings appoint
ment is more than probability.
These remarks, therefore, while
they are uttered in all sincerity,
have the nature Of confident antici-
patton rather than mere hope.
Hawaii will make Mr.. Hastings
her Minister and she could not dc
wiser thing"

1t was during "a period when President
Porter was holding recitations in the Athen-
eum that the following story is told, the
substantial truth of which Is vouched for
here: In one of the class divisions was a
young fellow active In athletics, who found
1t difficult to blend proficiency In baseball
with the 40 pages OF advance and review
which made up the normal days lesson in
DIR. Porter's bulky volume on THE Human
Intellect" Taking advantage Of DIR. Por-
ter's easy going recltations, the young fel-
low hit on the following device: He divid.
ed the 40 pages into eight sections Of five
pages each. For each section he prepared
an answer, usually based on a suggestive
line or two, sometimes evolved from inner
consciousness At recitation he simply
watched Dr. Porter turn the pages, basinR
his answer absolutely on the number Of
pages turned. From pages to 10 meant
answer number two. from pages Is to 30
answer number O, and so on, not the slight
est attention otherwise being paid TO the
question.
The young pioneer in psychology, who
ratified oil the answer with all the fiexibil
ity of speech and earnestness he could com.
mand, always met a gracious smile from
DIR. Porter and found subsequently by this
audhcity he had secured stand in psychol
ogy among the first half dozen in the class.
Years afterhe met DIR. Porter and explained
the trick and It's result. The president
turned the thing prettily. "Mr. Blank"
answered he, 'if you got eight ideas out Of
each 40 pages Of my Human Intellect you
got so many more than most OF your class
that you deserved your stand. New Haven

IT IS fine tribute that Joaquin
Miller paws to our standard and
favorite chronicler. In speaking OF
some interesting detail of Hawaiian
history, Mr. Miller says: This
brings me to confess why I have
read so many books to learn so
little; for they all, except the little
one by Alexander, are entirely too
long and in most cases absurdly
sensational. You are constantly
setting things down as guess-work,
or at best only "sailor yarns, but
this book by Alexander is as con-
servative as a clock and as exact as
an equation"

THE American Peace Society, an
organization of international pres
tige is thinking and talking of this
country and advertising il to the
world. A meeting was held last
month at Boston for the special
purpose of promoting public senti-
ment in favor of 1.-The Neutraliza-
ton of the Hawaiian Islands and
1.-THE Proposed Treaty of Arbitra-
ton Between the United States
and Great Britain" Robert Treat
Paine presided. The first speaker
was Edward Atkinson, the noted
political economist. He said:
II have been asked to speak
upon a subject which has i'm
pressed my imagination and
which l have endeavored to put
before the authorities Of the land,
namely, the possibility of making
the Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands

merce of the Pacific Ocean in
which Goods Peace" may be kept

time, Is it not possible that there
may be one little spot in the great
waste Of waters where the ships
that pass from this land to that,
weaving the web of concord among
the nations shall find a harbor of
refuge where no danger may await
them from the land and where no
hostile shot shall be fred upon the
seas which belong to this domain. :"

QUIrE a large number Of the
papers in the United States at once
discredited the manufactured news
OF political upheaval sent from
San Francisco the miudle of last
month. There was the very widest
publication of the tale that Mr..
Thurston was insisting upon radi-
cal changes in Governmental policy
and personnel. The fake stories
about the Hawaiian Republic
being on its last legs" were sent
from San Francisco the very
Day that Captain Palmer reach
ed that port from Homo
lulu. The dispatch that most
OF the papers used opened with
these sentences. Private letters
received from Honolulu yesterday
by the steamer Australia declare
that a change of administration
will soon take place there and that
the change is advocated by no less
an important parsonage than ex-
Minister Thurston. The informa-
ton comes from a most reliable
source and cannot be questioned. {"
This, with details at length was
sufficient to really alarm some of
Hawaii's friends. Gorham ID.

issued denial which was publish
ed in many papers. He based his
assertions on letters and papers re-
ceived from here by the same
