So Judge DAILY was defeated after all.
and Croker's vassal, Leventritt, was
elected to the New York supreme court.
The city was democratic and prima
facie the chances were against the re-
publican and Independent candidate.
Elihu Root thinks the system of allow
ing the voters to make a single cross
for voting the straight ticket is respon-
sible for Judge Daly's defeat, for the
voters either feared to blunder or would
not take the trouble to mark the candi-
dates separately throughout the ticket.
Thus is the Massachusetts legislature
justified in its refusal to introduce a
similar system into our own ballot
laws II is a distinct diseouragement
to Independent voting, and it was SO

Roosevelt voted at Oyster Bay, and
mis- vote was not challenged, as there
seems to have been some expectation
that 1t would be. It is one of the sig

the issues made against him vanish ut

is proof of their hollowness.

country against the town The propo-
siton to give the cities their just rep
resentation in the legislature has al
ways met with strong opposition both
in Rhode Island and Connecticut, and
certain politicians have found it to
their advantage to foster this opposi-
ton, since they could thus the more
easily control the state. A three
fifths vote was necessary to the adop-
tion of the Rhode Island constitution
and the rural objections to biennial
elections helped to keep the vote below

Mans Destiny aud Immortality

(The oration delivered before Ouachita College by s. H. Campbell, and which won the gold medal.I
 Man was created by God an im- mortal being, and his final destiny fixed before the foundation of the world. That destiny is known only to Divinity, but 1t is either supreme and everlasting happiness or eternal misery. Ii we could pull back the curtain of time and glance into eter- in our minds today; but as we can not, we are forced to read it from the sanctuary of the soul, as all men in all ages have read it there;;' we are compelled to read it from that 'tiesb-bound volumn" called self.
 But there is au earthly destiny to be met, and men should meet 1t as heroes. Before us is Ii life of combat and antagOnism, for there is no value without struggle, and no ac- mplishments without labor. In whatever sphere of life our lots are cast, ''no cross, no crown," is from the omnipOtent God the fiat that confronts each man and woman. He has so planned ill our destiny that the difficulties and environ ments by which we are surrounded will urge us on q higher and nobler destiny in the life to come.
 We are but frail barks upon the bosom of life's ocean tossed about by the winds of disappointment and waves of opposition, but there is q hand upon the rudder that we do not perceive, and unconsciously we are being impelled by an Irresistible 1 force nearer to God. Let us welcome this destiny, and with brave hearts, meet the great problems of life; let us endeavor to make the world bet ter, brighter and happier by having livedli in it. as worker in the great supernal plan.
 WiIled and planned by a higher power than our own, let us as VI near tho end of life, exclaim witt Victor Hugo ''age is upon my head but eternal spring is ill my heart The nearera approach the end, tht

ment from Honolulu by the steam
ship Belgic, which arrived Monday
night, advising against sending more
troops.
Whether this is because Of the diff
fculty Of getting suitable camping
grounds, or because he believes that
the troops are as well here as there,
if they are not to go to Manila, is
the problem that the boys are pom
dering over
One story is that the change is all
due to report made by Col. Barber
Of New York regiment, to the ef-
feet that no suitable camping ground
could be found in the vicinity of Hon
olulu. This theory is supported by
the fact that under the latest orders
the balance of the New York t,si-
ment will be held here.
MEANS MASTERING OUT
All Seventh men and officers are
thoroughly disheartened, and believe
that delay simply means speedy mus
tering out.
Col. Berry is cautious as to state
ments, as usual, but is inclined to
credit the Col. Barber story.
REGIMENTAL CAMP MOVED
The regiment moved today from
Camp Merritt to the Presidio. Maj.
Mathews, division surgeon, and Gen.
Miller ordered the change, and the
story is that Maj. Roblee Of the Sew
enth is going to get roasting for not
reporting sixteen cases Of typhoid
fever now in the regimental hos
pital.
Of the thirty men in the hospital,
when moved, sixteen have typhoid
fe1Sr. Under the regulations all
men kept in the hospital more than
thfee days must be reported to the
division surgeon, and Mathews says
this was not done. The prevalence
Of typhoid is presumably due to the
unhealthful conditions Of Camp Mer-
ritt, located, as it was, where once
was the Bay District track.
AS soon as Gen. Miller learned Of
the many fever cases he ordered the
regiment moved to the Presidio, to

COMMERCIAL QUESTIONS
Commercial equality with the uni
ted States in the archipelago would
annul the only advantage and COM
pensation which they might have
expected to derive from the cost and
sacrifices which have been necessary
to maintain their rule in the archi-
pelago. The separation of church
and state would be most unpalatable
to most Spaniards, and would create
great difficulties in their relations
with the Vatican and the church, let
alone the public religious orders in
Spain, which are always disposed to
side with Don Carlos against the
present dynasty.
FEAR TO GIVE OFFENSE
Last, but not least, any pledge to
refrain from ceding any part Of tho
archipelago to the powers would dis
please many statesmen and people
of all classes, who are daily more
and more inclined to advocate the
sale of the Spanish archipelago to
the highest bidder, especially to con-
tinental powers most likely to DO in
position to arrest the growth Of
American political and commercial
influence in the far east.
A SECRET AGREEMENT
The Times Madrid correspondent
says:
The recent articles in the Times,
recommending the annexation Of the
Philippines by America, are attract
ing much attention here. They are
regarded as confirming current ru-
mors about a secret agreement be-
tween the cabinets at London and
Washington for joint action in tho
far east. In any case it is feared
that the rapproohement which nm
questionably exists contains the
germs Of great international com-
plications. Three months ago, when
