CARD.


 To the Democratic voters of Jefferson county:
 In the Democratic convention Saturday opposed a new primary because I believed that 1 was hon estly nominated and was the legal nominee of the last Democratic primaries for Sheriff, but l grace fully bow to the wishes of the peo- pie as expressed by their delegates in convention assembled, and ac- cept the issue with an abiding faith in the honest Democratic heart of the county, which wants to see fair play and justice done to all. l thank the people for their support in the last primary and earnestly solicit the same in the new primary to be held June Is. The short time intervening and my personal af- fairs will not permit a canvass of the county before said primary is held, but l trust my friends will be on the alert and turn out at the polls and Ste that Justice is done me. Your obedient servant,

 Commodore Sehley.
Chicago Record


 After having served his country in one capacity or another for near ly forty years it seems that Win field Scott Schley is about to secure bis just reward in the matter of public honors. The commodore learned the business of fighting so long ago as 1860, when be was grad uated from the national naval academy. He has been on the sea or in charge of navy departments ever since that time He fought in the civil war, he served in the Pa eifc in quelling Chinese ipsurrec tion in 1865, he has taught young cadets in the naval academy and he has gone out among number of perils 10 rescue ships and sailors. He headed the expedition which rescued Greedy in Grinnell Land, and forced his way through 1 400 miles of ice during the voyage
 Like Dewey, however, Schley has had to bide his time for 8 charce to win distinction, and, like Dewey, he will probably show what stuff there is among the quiet and re- served gentlemen who form the mass of the officers of the navy. At the age oI 59 he has found his opportunity, and during the next few days he may show that he is equal to it. In such actions as are now taking place between the }panish and the American seamen, urage is needed, but Dewey show 'o that man could be courageous 'd yet have the practical common nc which would enable him to ense battles with minimum of m hil 'ehley, like the victor of 'ss. cans to win, but he may lanila, n ed upon to win in the depend will save his men and ay which ossible, while, if losses ships if pt he will not be afraid c necessary,

villain in the drama are brought to
light, if left to our discretion, it is
probable that we would consider
the most outlandish punishment
not whit too severe for him. But
do we ever give as close considera-
ton to the story of our individual
life as is granted to the creations
OF the less strange realm of fiction ?
1t must be charitably surmised
that most of us do not. Do we
ever consider the many and vary
ing characters we assume in the
story of life? Do we consider the
despicable parts of deceitful vii
lainy we so often assume in direct
antagonism to the heroism of real
good that is part of every life?
Do we have the same contempt for
this villanous part of our exist
ance as was aroused by the trickery
of our fictitious counterparts in a
story?
Charming very truly says, CIV
cry man is volume if you know
how to read him" But we do not
and will not know how to read
others until one learns to properly
interpret himself. And it is this
very thought of learning to read
ones self that is the greatest hope
for material improvement in the
morals Of a people. When we
learn to be as much incensed at
discrepancies in our own character
as we usually are at the ignoble
side of fiction it will be safe to
look forward to moral revulsion
that will add greatly to our indi-
vidual happiness and the general
progress of the world, for it is GER
tain that a man with sufficient in
telligence and feeling to repudiate
the repulsive in fiction will disa-
VOW it when he sees it in actual
existence in his own life.

If ABOUT seventeen marines
armed with good hickory clubs
were sent up the Potomac and
given a chance to lambaste the

Spanish another touchdown la

Of a million -dollar-a-day war.
AFTER the above was written Ton
Sunday an advance proofsheet was

it as the control of naval commanders
has since been taken out of the hands
of the strategy board.-ED.]

If MEN would only see the ne
cessity for taking moral exercise,
Just as they admit the need of
bodily activity for the preservation
of health, it would not be expect
ing too much to opine that the
improvement therefrom would tend
to greatly lessen the sum of indi-
vidual and collective misery. And
for good, healthy moral exercise
nothing surpasses taking a sensi-
bic look into the past to discover
what idiots a great many of us
have been.

NEVER DESPAIR.

If YOU want an inspiring motto,
one that will encourage you at
every byway in the path Of life,
one that will warm up the cookies
Of your heart when everything
looks dark and dreary, just take
the two words, "Never Despair, -
and paste them in a conspicuous
place among your mental furnish
ings. These two words have been
the silent power behind the pro-
motors of all the improved devices
that mark the closing of the nine
teenth century.
You may scan over the entire
list of inventions and you will rec
ognize the silent imprint of ''Never
Despair on each one of them.
The words are not there, but the
intricate workmanship bespeaks
the persistence of the inventor.
Probably no better instance of a
Notwithstanding worker may be
mentioned than is illustrated in
the life Of Thomas A. Edison. He
has been called a genius, the wiz
ard of Menlo Park and other names
that would indicate that his powers
are simply gift that any man
might use with equally good re-
suits. But when one examines
into the life of Edison it is found
that his genius emanates from
hard, continuous labor. Had he
not been such an indefatigable
worker, had he been easily dis
couraged, the world would not to-
day be enriched by his useful in
ventions in the field of electricity

until two A. M. for the sole purpose
of bringing home the latest correct
war report to his darling! And if
he did chew a few cloves while
shivering in front of the bulletin

the white-capped waves of patriot

While few Of us may aspire to be
Edisons, his example, his method
of work, show very plainly that
we may adopt his persistence to
our own advantage. 1t is folly to
say that we can not have the same
incentive in our limited field as
has the inventor who "sees COM
pleted work in the remote distance. -
We all have an objective point in
view that will bring to each a de-
gree of happiness, than which the
completion Of the greatest inven-
ton could bring no more to it's
inventor. There is that indefnable
longing in the heart Of each man
that is SO shaped as to be brought
nearest to perfection only by it's
development as Individual sought
out in our own particular way. It
is this ''something" that gives to
each Of us the feeling that we
would not be willing to exchange
our personality for that Of one Of
the greatest luxury, unless we
could retain that inexplicable part
Of our Observation-Disclosures soul, as
it were-which we cling to as
worth more than all wealth and
social position in life. From the
poorest to the richest, from the
unlearned to the most intellectual,
each possesses that misty portion
of himself that he feels he can not
exchange without being consid-
cradle loser. It is in the develop
ment of this part Of our life, in
the attempt to satisfy this individ-
ual longing for something better
and higher, that we can best util-
ize a persistent, unwavering, I'M
despairing effort to be what it's
mute appeal tells us we may be.

WHISKY is charged with being
the progenitor of large percent
age of criminals, but it is our
honest belief that fake ADVERTISE
ments have been the real cause Of
more crookedness than is charged
to the drink evil. The ingenuity
and boldness of certain publica-
tions in disseminating the adver-
tisements of fakirs who offer some
thing for nothing has given, to
some minds, a semblance of hon.
esty to outright thievery that is
sufficiently akin to the real article
to make it pass current as straight
dealing. The greatest calamity
that can befall any man is to be-
come imbued with the notion that
he can get the something for moth
ing as advertised by fakirs. The
deceit played upon him when he
''bites" at their offers, taken in
conjunction with the fact that
such schemes are published in
otherwise legitimate periodicals, is
usually taken as prima facie evil
dence that such knavery is within
the proper bounds of law, and that
which is lawful he properly con-
siders as honest, so that the de-
scent from one deceit to another is
easy for him until he reaches the
penitentiary and disgrace.

THE man who does not steal be-
cause he does not know how, or
who only awaits a favorable op-
portunity, is a good man in about
the same degree as the sot who re-
mains sober when he has exhausted
every means to procure booze. The
ignorance that so often is allowed
to pass as guilelessness is too often
of this kind.

"The men and women interested
in organized temperance work in
this country, are, on the whole.
very worthy people," writes Ed
ward w. Box in the May Ladies
Home Journal. 'They are sin
cere, energetic and well-meaning.
But sometimes they lack that
nicely and wisdom Of judgment
which is absolutely necessary in
organized effort in order that the
surest success may be won. They
sometimes, unfortunately, allow
their zeal to run away with them.
This tendency was recently shown
in one Of their official statements
which bewailed the startling
growth of intemperance in Amer
lea during the year 1897. Many
good people, to whom the circular
containing this statement is sent,
will be prone to believe this asser-
ton. They have not the means
at hand by which to verify such a
statement, and will be made I'M
comfortable by it, whereas, in
reality. exactly the opposite is the
truth. There has never been a
time in America when every indi-
cation pointed SO strongly to- a
