The New Hotel Management.

The change in proprietorshlp of the
Ross house fixtures, which was told ex-
clusively in the Independent Saturday,
occasioned no little surprise. Mr..
Bowel disposed of half interest to
Mr.. Marsh, recently of Muncie, but
formerly of Cincinnati, an old hotel
man. Mr. Marsh is about 60 years of
age, his family consisting of himself
and wife. The partnership commenced
at once after the signing of the papers.
While it cannot be expected that the
excellent management of Landlord
Bowel can be improved upon, 1t is a
fact that the additional money which
will be put into the business will make
the hotel more attractive and right up
to the top notch in Accommodations. The
Independent congratulates MIR. Marsh
for selecting Plymouth as his place of
business, as well as for choosing part
ner so we'll versed in hotel manage
ment.

"On the GridirOn."

Saturday afternoon at the fail
grounds the Crown Point high school,
and Plymouth Tigers contested fol-
foot ball honors. Crown Point won by
score of 20 TO 0. Much credit is due
our boys, owing to the fact that three
of the regular eleven were absent from
home and subs had to be put in their
places; yet they put up On excellent
game against team hardly below pro-
fessionals. This is only Plymouth's
second game. The attendance was
small, which fact acted greatly to dis
couraged our home team.
Notes of the Game.
The Crown Point eleven were a very
gentlemanly crowd of boys. A clean
game was the result; exciting to high
degree, from start to finish.
As usual Ward Logan deserves much
credit. He played an excellent game
A little dissatisfaction was caused
when the referee decided against Lo
gan's touchdown, but Plymouth fin ally
yielded their point.
AT the size up Crown Point decided
they had a snap, but after the game
they remarked it was the hardest battle
they had fought this season.

pulled him up out of the mud. There
isn't so much danger as you think he
said, soothingly. '.Now you get up and
take your gun and fight, and I'll stand
here by you" The first shot the boy
fired went into the air. but presently his
hand steadied and in a few minutes he
was fighting like a veteran. Then the
general walked away. When the order
came to retire from the trench the other
soldiers had to take that youth by the
collar and drag him out, and that in
spite of the fact that he had bullet
through the fieshy part of HIS shoulder.
He was as good soldier as one could
ask for through the rest of the cam
paign, and it was all because an old
army man knew q born coward from a
boy in a nervous panic.
This story illustrates a number of
things. One of them is that an old
regular veteran, who has had expert
ence. is worth several times as much in
an emergency as volunteer officer ap
pointed for political reasons. The po-
litical appointee may have the best will
in the world, but he is not seasoned.
There are some things which an eX-
perienced man knows he can do, which
the inexperienced man hesitates at do
ing. and the middle of a campaign is
not good time for experiments.

4 story of Chafee.

There is a story of General Chaffee
floating about among the war relics
which indicates that he has one
very important requisite for the po-
sition of a communicable ability
TO handle men. 1t was a major
in the British army who said that
it wasn't drill, nor tactics, nor ex-
perience, that made a good officer; it
was knowledge of men-dog- men, goat
men, sheep-men, and SO on. Some of
the officers in the volunteer army were
good. and some were bad, and the good
ones nearly all managed their men by
personal magnetism, that is, knowledge
of human nature and strength of Will
The story of General Chaffee con-
Germs an incident at FL Caney, on the
first day of the battle. A youth of
eighteen was one of the men in the
trenches. He had been Quivering and
turning cold with nervous terror ever
since the regiment had come within
hearing distance of the fighting, and
when it was actually under fire his
nerves went all TO pieces and he drop
ped on his face and staid there The
other men kicked him and swore at
him, but ii did no good. He was simply
in state of panic. Having enlisted in
a moment of enthusiasm, he had not
until within the last few days under
stood what it meant to be shot, and he
had not the self-control or the phleg-
matte temperament which would enable
him to conceal his feelings. While he
was in his first shivering fit of abject
fear, General Chaffee came along. He
looked down at the youngster and ask
ed what the matter was. He was in
formed. WELL" said the general, some
what contemptuously, you're a fine
soldier" Then his face softened. Cen
eral Chaffee is an old regular army
man, and he had seen that sort of thing
before Il suppose you can't help it," he
said. 1T isn't so much your fault. I'd
like to get hold of the fellow that took
you into the army"
Then he took hold of the boy and

surance that we should have all the ISL
ands, made at time when the Presi-
dent YVES virtually committed to some
thing else. The most unsuspicious mind
must see there is something hidden and
scandalous here. The whole history
of the business is suggestive of that.
Why should we have been less explicit
in the protocol when dealing with the
Philippines than with Cuba? Why
should the published instructions of the
Commission be so different from the
final action? Why should the impress
sion have been made that the President
had no intention of taking more than
the one island? And how should Hanna
have known that the Commission would
demand what the President did not
favor and the protocol and Instructions
did not include? And, again, why were
the Philippine bonds all bought up at
that time when it seemed positive the
President would never consent to our
keeping of all the islands?
We need not become despairing over
any apparent rupture at Paris. If
break seems imminent, we may safely
consider that il is necessary to the
scheme.

The bull fight and the baseball game

official reasons given, but the real reason
was probably to prevent trouble with the

There is no prospect of an early sur

signing of the protocol. Every dollar col

ties or otherwise since then, properly
belongs to Cuba, which was freed by the

allow the Cubans to be robbed of the
revenues, but We have allowed II, and
the robbery will continue until we stop
it. 1t will not be stopped before the first
of January, perhaps the first of February,
The exasperating thing about it is that
by his high-handed disregard of all the
protests and appeals of the American
Commissioners, and by his sale of gov
ernment property, Blanco has forfeited
all right to kindly consideration. The
strange forbearance of the President is
very humiliating TO the American people,

SO full of victory and promise and which ended
in such utter humiliation and disappointment
The marble monument will bear no inscription
save the name of Blaine and the dates of his birth
