Losing Friends.

One of the things that most people
wake up to when they are approaching
middle age is that they have lost a
good many friends through their own
carelessness. You receive an invita-
ton to the wedding Of n whom you
knew we'll eight or ten years ago. He
has quite passed out of your life ;
though, if you were living near each
other so that you would meet occa-
sionally, he is the kind of man in
whose society you would find real
pleasure. When the invitation comes
you express your pleasure that Dick
or John is to be married, and hope
that be may be happy. And that is
the end of it. You do not send a
present., or, what is better-and often
costs more-a friendly note conveying
your congratulations and good wishes.
The occasion passes without any sign
from you, and you have lost an oppor-
tunity of identifying yourself with
your friends happiness. He will not
associate you with that epoch OF his
life, and very likely will resent your
silence. It is the same when you fail
to take note of a friends Affections.
1t is a real effort to write a letter Of
sympathy. But such a note may
mean a vast deal to one in trouble,
and by it you can bind a heart to your
own with hooks Of steel. The people
who claim hat they have so few friends
have themselves to blame for it. They
have lost them through their indifer-
ence or thoughtlessness. "a mai
that hath friends must show himself
friendly. = Watchmdn.

oblivion of the past. In this he was
surely mistaken. Anation that would
stife the impulse to honor the heroic
dead and bury out Of view the glorious
achievements Of it's sons deserves it.
self to perish from the face of the
earth. War with it's inevitable hor-
rors is to be deplored, but the nations
of antiquity no less than those of
modern times are more renowned
through their warriors than exalted in
their statesmen who were purely civ
~ilians, as a general rule. 1t is lament
able that peace has not prevailed
throughout the ages, when we look
upon the cruelties and expressions
that are inseparable from grim-visaged
war, but blood has flowed where free
dom ever gained a foothold, and Grim
son is the royal color. In the Ian
guage of another: "England was re-
deemed by blood; Italy was united by
blood; Switzerland became free
through blood; Germany was cmanci-
pated by blood; America secured its
liberty through blood; and it is even
SO that the great hope which lifts US
up to things invisible and eternal came
to us by blood" To erase the rcmem-
brance of cruel wal we must blot out
the history of every people who have
wrought nobly in behalf of the free
dom and enlightenment of the human
race. Sad as it is in many respects,
the heart of mankind is ever touched
with the story Of conflict and conquest
and callous must be the soul whose in
most recesses are not stirred by the
struggles Of patriots for the boon Of
freedom or the preservation Of indie
p~endence. Valiant Cubans striving
to throw off the yoke of the tyrant
Spain, or heroic Greece defying the
great powers Of Europe in an effort to
maintain itself among the nations OF
the world, must arouse the deepest
sympathy of every man who has yer
felt the glow of patriotism in his own
breast. No, it is not in vain that men
give honor to the deeds of heroes, and
that they gather the relics which
speak more eloquently than words of
the courage and constancy of their ia.
theirs, or build monuments that will
point future generations to the valor
and virtue Of a noble ancestry.
In this presence it is unnecessary to
%culogize the patience through priva-
tion that marked the Confederate SOL
der as he plodded along the weary
years, helping to re-establish the pros
perity Of the land that gave him birth
and to rehabilitate the government Of
lis fathers. The highest encomium
that he can receive is the abundant
testimony of those who were nee his
enemies, for in all the land there is
not heard the faintest whisper that
the ex-Confederates are unmindful OF
their obligations as citizens of a COM
mon country. The false charge of
~disloyalty has vanished into thin air,
and the groundless calumny that he
was not fit to be trusted has been blot
ted out by the splendid representa-
tives furnished by the South for SER
vice at home and abroad. His noble
manhood as soldier and citizen has
been observed, and it has touched and
will yet touch other lives for good,
"Until the stars grow old,
And the suns grow cold,
And the leaves of the judgment book un-
fold"

The Cabs Without Horses.

The day Of the motor car as a prac-
tical factor in locomotive traffic has
arrived, and the long-sufering cab
horse will soon have outlived it's day
Of usefulness. In Europe the recog-
milton Of the utility Of the autocar has
been prompt and thorough, while
Americans, have, until recently, taken
up the new vehicle only in a half
hearted way. But the vogue has at
last reached this country, and one Of
the indications of its presence is the
establishment Of a regular automobile
cab service in New York. Ten han
som cabs are in operation, while a
coupe and a surrey are in course of
construction. The hansoms, which
are very much like the ordinary cabs,
are painted the conventional blacks,
dark blues, and greens. They are
supplied with two motors of one and
one,half horse power each. Under
the extension at the rear, on which
the operator sits, are placed the bat
teries which cnergize the motor. The
operation of the vehicle is very simple
and can be mastered in a few minutes.
It's speed within the city is from six
to ten miles, but it can be run up to
Is miles an hour if necessary. 1t is
estimated that 25 miles can be covered
without recharging the batteries. The
vehicle costs very little more than a
horse and ordinary cab. 1t is most
comfortable to ride in, as it has four
wheels, which are fitted with large
pneumatic tires. The cabs have been
in constant demand, and it is believed
that, sooner or later, every stable will
be compelled to purchase vehicles of
this description. In France, where
many motor carriages are. worked By
petroleum spirit, as well as electricity,
it has been suggested that, in view Of
the large demand for such vehicles by
private owners, the builders Of the
cars should provide their clients, for
a small sum, with reduced models of
the same, SO arranged that they
can be quickly taken to pieces, so as
to give their an intelligent
idea of the working details.

discounting the extravagant laudations
Of friends, that in every emergency we
find Jackson displaying the traits of a

all this a genuine Americanism, not
easily described in words, but making

Thomas J. jackson entered the
West Point Military Academy in
1912, when I was in the first class.
I therefore knew him as a youth for
one year. He was reserved, earnest
in everything he did, took hold Of his
drill as though he meant to make it
his own. He made the impression of
a young man who had been brought
up in idleness, and who had left his
home with the determination to win
his way in the world, and believed he
could do it.
He left the Academy in 1916, in the
same class with George B. Mcclellan
and George E. Pickett. The war
with Mexico, 1868, gave him early
opportunity to see field service. He
served with great distinction in this
war, from Vera Cruz to the City Of
Mexico, and at it's close found him
self a major by brevet in little more
than a years active service. This
rapid promotion, for gallant service in
the face of the enemy, showed unmis-
takably what was in him, awaiting
only further opportunity for decisive
exhibition. His actual rank in our
small regular army was, however, only
that of first lieutenant.
Jackson early in 1852 resigned from
the army and became a professor in
the Virginia Military Institute, where
he impressed his strong personality
upon the young military aspirants Of
his native State from 1852 to 1861.
Then came the opportunity for the
full fruition of the brilliant blooming
Of his early experiences in war. He
embraced the cause of the Confed-
eracy, and after his ten years of study
and retirement he threw himself again
into the military service, as he had
done in everything else during his
life, with his whole soul.
Details of battles or movements in
which Jackson displayed his great
abilities as a military man would be
out of place in this short notice.
They are in the records. We find him
first at the battle Of Bull Run, July,
1861, when Gen. Bee called to his
men, to encourage them, to look how
Jackson and his brigade stood, like a
a stone wall'-whencc the sobriquct
of "Stonewall Jackson" by which he
was Familiarity known thereafter. In
the many operations in which he par
ticipated, from the first Bull Ran to
Charlottesville, he never failed to
display military genius. At Chan
ccllorsville he received wounds from
which he died. before he attained 40
years of age. His fatal wounds are
believed to have been caused by the
fire Of his own men, m~ittaking the
forces Immediately with him for the
Union troops.
1t would be idle to speculate upon
What his further career would have
been had he had not been taken off so
young and in the very midst OF the

cans? Why do they continue to mas
Querade under the Republican name
| Inere is nothing Republican about
sheir position. and i. would seem as
though they should be ready to affiliate
sqCarely with the Democratic party.
The theory has been that many Re
puolicans who have been inclined to-
wards Independent free coinage of sill
yer could be kept in line for independ-
ent free coinage candidates by MAIN
tanning what has been called the Silver
Republican party. But the rank and
file Of those who constitute this party
are Republicans in all respects save and
alone on the one question of freee coin
age They are for a protective tariff
and, moreover, they would welcome
the settlement of the coinage issue
through an international agreement.
They Will not follow leaders who leave
the Republican party entirely. abandon
its principles and denOunce its motives.
If these leaders have become Demo-
Gratis, as would certainly appear from
their utterances, those whom they have
thought to influence would have far
more confidence in them if they would
take on the name of the party under
whose banner they have enlisted.
The Statesman's argument as whole
is irrefutable. The position of the lead
ers of the Silver Republicans is one in
consistent with their professions. When
men walk out of national convention
and then follow that action up with an
active opposition to a party measure
that is almost the very tombstone of
party loyalty, they certainly cease to
belong TO the party. no matter by what
name they may call themselves.
We can hardly agree with the States
man that the rank and file of the Silver
Republicans are Republicans in all save
the one question of free coinage. We
are inclined to think that the mass of
them are with the party. that is the
Silver Republicans. leaders in their OPP
position to their old party
What they should do. and that would
make them consistent, is to abandon
their new party organization and join

A MERIToRIoUs ACT.

In pardoning a colored inmate of the
Kentucky penitentiary. Governor Brad
ley says:
This poor and friendless man, sur
rounded by his wife and six children,
was ordered, without warrant of law, to
leave his little home, after which he
was fired on and wounded. He defended
himself. as every dictate of reason and
humanity demanded and justified. He
did no more than ony other man should
or would do. Instead of a convict S
garb he is entitled not only TO acquittal,
but entitled to the admiration of every
citizen who loves good government and
desires the perpetuation of free institu-
tions. Too long have nlobs disgraced
the fair name of Kentucky, and while
l am governor of this commonwealth
no man, however obscure and friend
less, shall be punished for killing a
member of a mob who elect to take his
life or drive him from his home.
That states the story of this man who
was ordered to leave his home and then
assailed in it. He defended himself and
was tried and convicted by a Kentucky
jury, to the deep disgrace of the Blue
Grass state. 1t is a fine state of affairs
when a man cannot defend his home
and family against a mob without be-
ing tried and found guilty. 1t is an
axiom of the common law that IAN
Englishman's house is his CASTLE and
that axiom has been adopted in Amer
lea. Not only was this man entitled to
an acquittal, as Governor Bradley says,
but he is entitled to the admiration of
every citizen who loves good govern
ment and desires the perpetuation of
free institutions. If more mobs were
riddled with bullets by those whom
they attack it would DE good thing.
Governor Bradley himself is to be
commended for his action, also.

HOW Is IT sPELLEDp

There is considerable agitation as to
the proper spelling of the new gold
fields. The San Francisco papers spell
it Klondyke, and they are in a position
to get the spelling from those who are
familiar with it. The New York Sun.
speaking Of the various spellings, says:
The word appeared on one or two
unofficial maps as Clondyke.' Some
newspapers spell it that way and 9TH
ers make it 'Klondyke.' No official spell
ing could be found but if it was an In
dian word, and Klondyke accurately
represented the sound. that was the
preferable spelling, because the simp-
lest. and also in accordance with the
rules for spelling names prepared by
our board on geographical names, and
strictly conformed to in our govern
ment reports and maps. There was the
possibility however. that the river was
named for some white man, just as
Dawson City, at the mouth of the river,
bears the name of the director of the
Canadian geological survey.
All doubts as to the correct spelling
are now to be removed by the testi-
mony of some of the returned miners.
and in particular of ]. F. Higgins, cap
tain of the Alaskan steamer Excelsior.
who writes that Klondike is to be found
in the vocabulary of the Indians there
abouts. and that it means deer
tCorroborative information is found
on the charts in the Sun office. The
first scientific reports on the explora-
ton of this section were those written
by Mr.. Ogilvie, Dominion land sur
veyor; r. c. Mcconnell QSS7) and DR..
G. NJ. Dawson QSSS-S9). The map ac-
companying Mr. Dawson's report trans
lates the Indian name and the river
appears on that and later official charts
as Deer river. Klondike may be regard
ed as the approved spelling of the
name'
If the word is an Indian one meaning
deer" it is Idle to attempt to trace
its etymology any further. If it is not.
the word might very easily be traced
to Celtic origin. All of the region
around the Klondyke has unquestion-
ably been explored by the employees of
the Hudson Bay company and the
Northwest Fur company. Very many
of those employees have been Scotch
or Scotch-Irish. and is it not quite prob
able that they may have named the
region? Take, for instance, the word
Clonmel. In Irish it means vale of
honey" Klondyke could very easily
mean Vale of Dykes, and from de-
scriDtions Of the country it would be no
violent wrenching of language to ap-
ply the word to it. If the name was
given by some Scotch or Scotch-Irish
employee of one of the companies nam
ed, the proper spelling would be Clon-
dixie.
All this pretends to be nothing more
than mere conjecture. But in the
names Of new districts government re-
ports on them are by no means an in
fallible authority. Thus in the map in

cal survey for 1885, showing the geology

down as Kamar
