WHAT THE BACHELOR SAYS.

Some women might have a past II
they could only catch up with 1t.
The world would be better off II more
parents married to please their chill
dren.
You can always tell whether a woman
is in love by how much nicer she treats
the shop girls.
A woman never feels as II she had got
a room real clean unless she has ar
ranged the furniture differently.
q Probably a girl will always wonder
why man laughs when she says she
has always wondered why 1t is she has
SO little curiosity.
When girl says to man that she
is probably older than he should think
She was he can queer himself dreadfully
by the way he denies it.-New York

will you be mine, dear one?" said
Martin Ferry. in imprisoned tones.
NAY, 1t cannot be. Mr.. Ferry. There
is one who would always be between
US, night and day, year after year he
would Illustrate our union" answered
Miss Belle Aver, regretfully and with
a sob.
Dearest, Just give me his name-only
his name, ! say-and there will be
funeral In these parts before another
sun has set beyond the Wheeling creek
hills. Thus spoke our young friend.
and there was the light of newborn in
sanity In his eyes.
"No, no. answered Belle, and there
was despair In her voice: You must
give me up--or I'll be sister to you.
But Bridge Port will always be De-
tween Us"
And now there's a GOODNESS between
two towns over the river.

Aside From the ia,nnr.

The Intelligenceri begs leave to call the
attention OF It's esteemed nelshtbor, the
Popocratlc organ, to the fact that 1t has
already noted that the organ has mis-
quoted history and shown Ats utter dis
regard for truth in Its attempt to make
1t appear that there is a similarity OF cir
cumstances In the case Of the present
Republican split in Ohio and the case OF
a split in the Democratic party of West
Virginia in 1887 over the choice OF sena-
tor. In one case these was no revolt
against instructions received from con-
stituents, nor an attempt to elect man
who was opposed TO the principles OF the
national party platform; in the other
case there is such an attempt. The, Diff
ference is plain.
In regard to our contemporary's rei.er-
alton Of the falschood regarding the con-
sIstency OF the .IntclIisencers position.
and the publlcat lion on two successive
days OF a personal communication.
which is unworthy OF notice because II Is
anonymous, it is unnecessary to state
that the Intellisencer's position is not the
issue before the Ohio legislature. That
issue is one which affects the welfare of
great national party, of which the In
tclligencer3 is only a member, and in
wolves principle affecting the public
welfare and which the Intelligencer ad-
vocates.
This paper has nc objection to the Reg
ister's commentator of the corrupt deal
by John R. Mclean, Allen Q. Myers, and
other unsavorys Democratic politicians
who have been repudiated by their own
party, with Republicans who have be-
trayed promises and obligations to their
constituents. Neither does 1t object to
that papers opinion Of the Intelligent
GERS advocacy of good faith and party
integrity. In fact, we rather expected
that our contemporary would Indulge in
some such characteristic, pointless and
pucrile comment.

Organization, that cannot make valid

tracts are good In every. court"
Several other representative miners
spoke In a similar strain. and the snovs-
ment for a State organization, which
would be entirely. separate from and on
broader and more logical principles than
the organization which has used the
West Virginia miners for It's own pur-
poses, was given q healthy impctus, All
OF the speakers declared thai heretofore
the miners OF the state, had thrown away
their opportunities by listening to FOR.
5eign aGisators, who were working for
salaries 70 incl,e workmen to strike. and
never did any work themselves.
The Interests or the miners aud opera
tors are recognized in the constitution Of
the new organization as Identical, and
the plan ccntemplatea action at all times
for their mutual good, for 1t has come
to be a recognized fact thai these inter
ests cannot DO brought together through
coercion or influences from outside the
letate. The coal exchange, composed OF
the operators OF the valley. had its repre-
sentatlves present, and the plan Of or
ganlzatlon approved by them, while
Joint committee was appointed TO draft
satisfactory plan OF arbitration. which
II is hoped will end, so far as the organi-
cation ana the operators are concerned,
miners strikes and their disastrous con-
sequences In West Virginia.
II IS predicted that organizers from
other states will attempt to defeat the
undertaking, but the cnthusiasm Of the
Kanawha valley men and the encourage
ment theyiGre receiving from the en-
ployes are such that there are hopes that
all outside opposition will be overcome
throughout the state. The conditions
hatinnuence and control the mining In
dustry In West Virginia are SO different
from those prevailing In other states that
the necessity and wisdom OF this move
ment seem TO commend themselves to
the miners generally.

Collapse OF The
War Department.
From the PHILADELPHIA Inouirer.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
n I is A sorry mess, but this is no time
time to come to "a standstill and talk
about Investigations. First let us put
III matters right, and then let board
make a complete study of the mis-
takes and failures, not for the purpose
of damning this officer or that officer. but
to render future mistakes impossible. 1t
is the system that is at fault--a system
that has been inadequate to the require
ments, that has not kept abreast with
the times. If you try to pour barrel of
rain water into an ordinary gallon jug
you naturally fail in the attempt. For
more than thirty years We have been On
peace footing and dealing with an
army of twenty or twenty-five thousand
men. What did We krow about the han1-
ling of more thar two hundred thousan
men, brought together by a sudden call?
%
But what of the future" We must have
general stan founded rpcn the expert.
ence of European nations. We must
study through that staff everything that
pertains to war We need not necessa"-
lily have a large standing RAINY, but we
must be preps red to handle great bodies
of men when they are summoned upon
the field of action. We have shown the
world that we know how to fight, but we
are Inundated to discover tnat our boast
ed knowledge of medical and sanitary
science when applied to our camps is
nothing but boast. 1t is there that our
failure has come In the clash of battle
we have made a record that will live in
history, but in the handling of our peace
full camps we have shown a lack of
knowledge that is disgraceful.
O.
The general staff must be prepared no'
only in tactics, but in the handling +
large bodies of men and in the proper
care of them. The medical and commits
sary departments must work in harmony.
This can be attained only by experience,
and that experience can be had only by
the mobilization each year of all of our
troops for reviews and practice. 1t is
too late to atone for the mistakes of the
past, but we cannot begin too early to
provide against any such mistakes in the
future.

the little clothing this climate requires,
a hut for shelter. some poi. fish and
the fruits that can be had almost any
where, and they are content. They will
work under the spur and direction of a
stronger mind and will, but left to
themselves they take life as easily as

for countless generations their charac-

Is no race prejudice against them

Everybody seems to like them. OF
course, Anglo-Saxon energy grows i'm
patient with their easy-going ways, but
even that impatience is mitigated by a
tolerance born of a knowledge of their

be added that ex-Queen Liliuokalani
and her advisers have accepted an
nexation in a spirit of resignation and
are urging their followers to make the
best of it,
At this time, according to Colonel
Hall, Hawaii is a good place for the
adventurous American without large
capital to avoid. The man who has
only his hands as capital cannot find
employment there and If he could he
wouldn't like it. Most of the labor on
the plantations is Asiatic contract la
Dor. at $13 month or less. Nor is
there much opportunity in sight for
small business or trading ventures. The
big wholesale houses already there
command the situation and the new
retail shops and stores have to COM
pete with stores owned by plantation
syndicates or company" stores. "a
man might" says Colonel Hall. "go
out there and start another store, but
he must either buy his goods of these
large firms or import them himself. In
the first case they would levy their
profit, and in the second case it is
doubtful whether he could import in
small quantities nearly as cheaply as
they could in very large quantities.
Then when it came to selling his goods
he must compete for his trade among a
class of buyers who are under contract
to work for his competitors. Those
who are familiar with the company
store problem in the industrial Sec
tions of the United States can realize
what the difficulties would be in this
case"
However, it is only fair to say that
these views of Hawaii reflect conditions
as they existed prior to assertive
American occupancy. When American
energy takes full hold of the situation
things will undoubtedly become differ
en-.
