There is good reason why the leader
in an exploit such as Hobson's should
be given special credit. for experience
tells us that he must have inspired his
men by his example. 1t is so also with
other leaderships besides those Of war.
Those who follow may be as brave as
the leader after they get started, but
they have not his initial courage or
they would start without him. The
leaders in great social and political
reforms start out usually under most
diseouraging circumstances, but they
have faith and courage, and finally
through their persistence gather few
followers whom they inspire by their
example. When success crowns their
efforts their supporters are entitled to
credit, but the chief honors fall natur-
ally to the leaders, without whom the
movement would not have been under
taken.

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.+The German
bark Olga arrived at the Delaware
breakwater from Samaran, Java
laden with sugar She brought to
close a voyage of strange fatlities
having only a few of the original Off
GERS on board, Capt. BREEDER, her com
mander, and five others having died of
that dread disease, Scurvy, which SO
often breaks out on board vessels from
the far East. The Olga sailed from
Samaran on April 5. When about two
months out from port the disease first
made it's appearance, and one by one
the men were overtaken until the
ships company was reduced to four
men able to be about. Capt. BREEDER
was among the first to be stricken.
He lasted only a few days, suffering
great agony. Then the mate took
charge, and he, too, was stricken
down, leaving in charge of the vessel
men with little knowledge of naviga-
ton. When st. Michaels was reached
q new captain was taken aboard, and

1t is characteristic, says Bradstreets,
of the celebrity with which Americans
adapt themselves to new conditions
that almost Immediately after the an
nouncement of the surrender of San
tiago the treasury department was
overrun with requests for information
as to the customs duties to be exacted
at that city and other ports in eastern
Cuba. and as to what preparations are
being made for the resumption of trade
with those ports. The expectation of
a considerable trade thither seems to
be widely entertained. The under
standing appears to be that the govern
ment will, for the present, enforce the
minimum duties formerly exaeted on
imports from Spain. eliminating those
charged on imports from other coun-
tries. This policy will relieve COM
merce between the United States and
Cuba from a heavy burden. and should
in the nature of things help to stimu-
late trade that has been so much dis
turbed.

Manual training in reformatories is
a valuable influence. Men are often
driven to crime, not because there is
no work for them to do, but because
they are not fitted to do any kind Of
work. They have not had the train
ing to fit them for life. Where the re-
formatories teach the convicts the use
of hands and utilization of the senses
and this is followed by kindly and
helpful treatment by others reforma-
ton will be accomplished in many
cases. But the criminals too ready ex-
cuse for his crime that he could find no
honest employment of his hands or his
brains is seldom true.

I'm Serious Trouble.
Chicago, Sept. 27.-While attempting
to arrest Clarence White and Frank
Ryan, who were caught robbing a
house, Policeman John TuxfOrd was
shot and fatally wounded by Ryan.
Both robbers were arrested. Clarence
White has had a feud with the police
for many years and has been arrested
innumerable times, and his trial, with
two others, for the murder of Thomas
Marshall, a storekeeper, was one of

was acquitted. A detective named
Dix is now serving a life sentence in
Joliet penitentiary for killing Frank
White, a brother of Clarence, while
trying to arrest the latter.
