A LITTLE HERO.

1t is a season of the year when
drowning accidents are frequent and
deeds of heroism in trying to save COM
of the country. A very heroic and
touching story comes from Somerville,
New jersey, and is told in the New
York Tribune.
Last Saturday two little boys named
Michael Liebig and Michael Oliphant.
four and five years old respectively,
strayed from their homes in Raritan,
and found. their way to a dangerous
place on the bank of the big water
course which feeds the mills on the
Raritan. The conduit has an outlet
into the river through an underground
pipe, five feet in diameter, and thence
through a sluiceway with a bed of
rocks. The water rushes from the con-
duit to the river with terrific force
and creates a whirlpool of large di
mansions near the outlet in the con-
duit The two boys climbed down the
bank near the whirlpool and were
amusing themselves by throwing chips
in the water. when Oli3hant lost his
balance and plunged head first into the
whirlpool. Liebig held out a long stick
which he had in his hand at the time
and shouted: Now Mickey, hold on,
and I'll pull you in sure
The little fellow tugged away for
dear life and had succeeded in drawing
his playmate to the shore when Oil
plant suddenly released his hold on the
pole. Liebig fell backward and fell
down the embankment into the whirl-
pool from which he had just rescued
OliphanF. He was twirled around like
a straw. and in the twinkling of an
eye he shot through the underground
pipe and was precipitated into the jag
ged rocks in the sluiceway below. His
little body was tossed like a cork on
the leaping waters, which bore him
rapidly TO the river, one hundred yards
away. He was still struggling for life
when caught up by the swift current of
the river, but the struggle was in vain.
The body of the brave little fellow was
recovered some distance down the river
a short time after.
Incidents like this are occurring in
different parts of the country almost
every day. They are very sad and to
read of them depresses one, but when
one reads of them where is the man
who viii say the world is degenerating,
that the spirit of true heroism is gone
forever?

THE REPUBLICAN, LEAGUE AND
SILVER.

The advocates of free silver in the
Republican camp have deluded them
selves with the pleasing thought that
they could be true to silver and true
to Reoublicanism at one and the same
time. The thing was impossible IN
thought, had the thought been clear
and logical, for it made no difference
actually whether they left their party
because Of its attitude towards silver
or their party left them; they separ-
ated. and that is the essential thing.
The silver Republicans have always
refused to recognize. or at least TO ad-
nit, that they had placed themselves
without the pale of their old party
when they bolted the St Louis plat
form and nominations There has been
no official declaration defining their
true position by the Republican ma
tional committee, but an official declar-
alton on the question has at last come
through the action of the National Re-
publican League, which has served no.
tice upon the league in the western
silver states that delegates to the Ma
tional Republican League convention
to be held in Detroit in July, must be
in accord with the party platform
That is the only thing the league could
do.
This declaration is important in sew
eral respects. It says in terms as plain
as plain can be that the st. Louis plat
form must be accepted as a whole and
not in part bv delegates TO the con-
vention. The leagues test is very
thorough and no man or woman VINO
voted for Bryan can accept that test.
The convention will permit no discus
sion on this point.
This declaration of the league makes
plain another thing, which is, that the
real issue between the Republican and
Democratic parties is today, as it was
a year ago, the silver question. Here
is a distinct recognition of the fact.
This declaration is only that of a club
league and cannot be construed to be
an authoritative declaration by the
party Chat can only be done in an
other national convention), but IT is
safe to assume that it represents the
views of the administration and the
party leaQSIS. IL also IldkcS II Gel Tain
that the Detroit convention will re-
affirm the St. Louis platform.
What will the silver Republicans do?
The league has issued an ultimatuqn to
them and so far as it is concerned they
must accept it or stay out. 1t would
seem that they must see how incon-
sistent their position is when they say
they are still Republicans and still adj
vocates of the free, independent and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l. Why are they not as ceur-
ageous in acknowledging the inconsist-
ency of these claims as they were in
standing up for the principles of free
silver and voting for It?

A CONVERSATION WITH MA
CAULAY.

Most celebrated people who have had
a great reputation as conversational
lists have rarely been conversationalists
at all but on the contrary have been
monologists. Macaulays reputation as
a talker WAS great. but whom ne joined
in any conversation he was very apt
to monopOlize it. Max Muller In his
literary "reminiscences relates a CONVEX
sation ne had with the essayist and
historian. He SAYS:
Macaulay. after sitting down, asked
me number Of questions, bur before
1 had time TO answer any of shen he
began TO relate his own experiences
in India, dilating on the difference be-
tween scholar and a man Of business,
giving a fun account of his contro-
NerSy- while in India, with men like
Professor Wilson and others, who
maintained that English would never
become the language OF India, express
ing his own strong conviction to the
contrary, and relating a number OF an
ecdotes, showing that the natives
learned English far more easily than
the English could ever learn Hindu
stani or Sanskrit. Then he branched OFF
into some disparaging remarks about
Sanskrit literature, particularly about
their legal literature, entering minutely
into the question OF what authority
could be assigned to the laws o. Manu-
and what possible use they could be in
determining lawsuits between natives,
ending W with the usual diatribes
about the untruthfulness of the natives
Of India, and their untrustworthiness
as witnesses in 4 court OF law.
This went on for nearly an hour and
was very pleasant TO listen to, but
most disappointing TO a young man

He Eed Nerve.

PittsburE News: Talk about drum
mer having gait" said the man who had
paid for the last round. the worst case
ever heard OF was in a plain, everyday
country boy. He was wild and got into
so many scrapes at home that his folks
sent him out west. He disappeared for a
year or two ana in the meantime l got
married. My wife and l went west Tor
our honeymoon. and on train about 1ol
miles from Tacoma l found this country
boy in the car sitting beside a big. stout,
coarse man. Bill. the boy. had the other
fellow shackled to him. He recognized
me and began ;nquiring after the folks ar
his home. After awhile he said:
I'm getting along all right. Folks up
here where 1 am think so well of me
they made me sheriff. I'm just taking
this chap down to the pen. Oh, yes. I've
reformed. and you can tell the folks so
when you get back. l don't have time to
write them
When my wife went ahead into the
sleeping car the coarse, stout man turned
TO me. asked IL / knew Bills folks, and
when l said l did he replied: We'll, tell
them what you please, but I'm the
sheriff. "

THE eRoBBERs' RoosT, GANG.

There exists in the southeastern part
of the state gang of desperadoes that
should be cleaned out if possible. Only
short time ago members of this gang
committed one of the most daring rob-
berries ever committed in any state
Members of the same gang have held
up a peddler only this week and robbed
him of some seventy odd dollars. Prob
ably no one will be surprised to hear of
a railroad train being held up at any
time.
The section of country where this
gang is operating is fast becoming ter
rorized. Their last crime shows that
they are as ready 10 rob a peddler as
the cashier of a big corporation; and
they will not hesitate TO rob farmers
and villagers whenever it shall suit
their purpose or convenience.
How shall all this be stopped? for
stopped it must be If the majesty of the
law is to be maintained and the law
abiding citizens protected. 1t is very
much easier to say what should be
done than to do il. The identity of the
members OF the gang must be known
and specific charges made against
them before process against them can
issue. All this is merely preliminary
to the task of beginning the enforce
ment of the law and bringing its vio-
lators to justice. That task will un-
doubtedly be a hard one and when once
it is begun there will probably be some
serious trouble. 1t may be necessary
for the state itself to undertake direct
ly the work of completely suppressing
lawlessness in the southeastern part of
the state When once begun it should
be done so thoroughly that there will
be no recurrence of lawIessness there
IN many, many years. The work should
be done as thoroughly as General Con-
nor did his work of suppressing Indian
troubles on the Bear river.

THE SEA HATH ITS WOES.

The peace of the sky lies light on the
With wind that is soft as a song:
And the spray of the ocean pertaining the
As the proud ship races along.
And the eye of painter or poet ne'er
saw
A vision of sweeter content
Than the blue of the sky and the gray OF
the wind,
In the hues of the green wave blent
But down in the heart of the fathomless
The grim old mariner knows,
There's a moan that the breakers will
sound on the shore:
For the sea. though it smile, hath its
woes.
The song of the surf as it romps on the
beach
Is joy TO the children at play.
For 1t spIashes and dashes and dimples
In a daring and froIicsome way;
And the maiden who watches the sail dip
low
On the rim of the sky-kissed sea.
Hears message of love on the whisper
ing waves,
And the chimes of a wedding to be,
But the crone at her side hears a sad
undertone,
For in sorrow her old heart knows
There's moan in the sound that the
surf brings home;
For the sea, though it laugh, hath its
woes
AS the sun rides high or the moon swings
low.
And the wind sweeps the harp of the
sea.
The children will play or the maiden will
sing
And the waves lap low in the lee.
But the grim old mariner out on the
main

And the twain and the sad sea weep.
The peace of the sky lies over 1t all;
The wind unerringly blows;
The sailors come home and the crone is
conSoled.
But forever the sea has its woes.

A PITTsBURG VIEW OF PRoTEc
TON.

The PHtsburg chamber of commerce
has been defining hts position on the
question of protection. 1t deems ii
inexpedient to make any recommends
ton on the tariff bill in its present
stage, but it is deeply impressed with
the Importance of speedy action on the
part of congress, certainly a desirable
thing. 1t is also very strongly opposed
to the levy of any tax on books not
levied OF late years. But its position
on protection is formally defined as fol-
lows:
'First-Protection for the IMPORTANT
industries and skilled labor of our land,
wherever this is needed.
"Second-A greatly increased reve-
nue., the importance of which cannot be
exaggerated.
''Third-Relief. as far as this is pos
sibie, from incessant agitation for years
TO come on this question on which peo-
pie are 50 greatly divided in opinion"
1t is the third proposition that is the
really important one for It voices a
sentiment that is almost universal in
the country. which is that there be a
cessation of tariff agitation The peo-
Die are heartily sick and tired of it,
yet it is almost certain that it will be
an issue in the next presidential cam
paign because of the excessively high
rates that will probably be enacted by
the present congress. If the high rates
are enacted and the revenue derived
from them is inadequate the tariff will
surely be an issue, if not the issue.
three wears hence.
What the country wants in this re-
gard is relief from incessant agitation
for years to come. But no extreme leg
islation in either direction viii bring
such cessation.
