Statel has served his people with more distinguished ability than the father of young MT. Garland, and probably no citizen of the State is held in deeper generation than Gen. Powell Clayton, whose atrocities at time when the people of Arkansas were bound and helpless will never be forgiven. This being the case, Sanders Garland might well have remembered whose son he was, and spared his distinguished father a blow which must have brought 9 blush of shame to his check. It is not crime to belong to the party of which Gen. Clayton is member, but it is an exercise of exceeding bad taste for a son of Augustus H. Garland to bow the knee to Powell Clayton.

REV. T. DEWITT TALMAdE has de- clared for the silver cause. He says: My associations and tram ing and my political affiliations for the past place me on the side Of the single standard, but l certainly be- lieve that instead of disaster and ruin following in the wake of the silver movement, the opposite would be the result If the silver people win, I believe there will be such revival in business, such a booming in industries, which are now inactive, and such general shaking up of commercial interests that the country will be sure to prosper.

BENDS HIS KNEE TO ".BOSS
 POWELL.
(From the Helena World )

Young Mr. Sanders Garland, 8 son of, ex-Governor, ex-United Sen ator, ex-Attorney-General of the United States Garland, is out in an open letter to General Powell Clay ton, announcing his determination to affiliate with the Republican par ty hereafter. If young MT. Garland has reached this decision after delib- crate and conscientious considera- tion, no honest party man will have any word of censure for him. This is free country and every man is supposed to be actuated by honest motives in allaying himself with any one of the political parties, just as he is supposed to be honest when he joins the church of his choice or woes the woman most to his liking. If young Mr. Garland wants to be a Republican, therefore, it is all right
 lie could, however, m the judgment of the World, have been less offen- siye in his methods of announcing his decision. Unless this young mans decision to change his politi- cal faith was actuated by hope of future rewards, why should he have communicated with Powell Clayton,
 the Republican boss of Arkansas? We are not informed as to young Mir. Garland's accomplishment, but we do not judge that his defection
 will shock the continent from cen ter to circumference, or that even Gen. Clayton will feel hilariously iubilant thereat. No citizen of the

An Admiral and His Crew Narrowly
 Escape From an Accident.
 PARIS, Aug. s0,-During artillery practice of the French Mediterranean squadron yesterday off Toulon, Admiral Gervais and staff had narrow escape. Instead of aiming at a target which was being lowed 300 yards behind the flag ship Brennus, battleship of II ,0o0 tons displacement, the cruiser Vanteur turned her quiekfre guns on the flag ship. Shots rained around Admiral Gervais and staff and their escape was miraculous. The glass in the admiral's coming towers was riddled and sailor wounded. There is much mystery as to how the mistake occurred and 1t is thought to be impossible that the gun hers could have missed their mark by 500 yards.

In The old Irish game YOU kick the

man if you can't kick the ball, but in
the modern American game you kick
the bali If you can't kick man."
These We're the words of an English
critic on the greatest game Of modern
athletics-American football. That
fellow could see the pospect of danger,
and presuming brutality, offered q
moral disbarment to the DerpetuatiO n
of Americas great national game. And
indeed, this idea is not always foreign.
There are those at home who discOur-
age it, but in the meantime, the great,
healthy, football world continues to
applaud and the contests Of the grid
iron grow and grow in popularity. In
all sports there is danger. To abolish
danger in sport is to abolish the sub
stance. And to do that is to deny a
higher civilization The educated
world will continue to foster contests
of strength and courage, and the great

deny the dominance OF brutality
