This is talkative age, and we are q
talkative people; but we get many re-
minders that quality outranks guam
tity. Ten men speak volubly in
advocacy of a proposition; then one
man, who knows more about the mat
ter than all the ten, utters few rea-
sonable words in good temper, and car
ries the meeting with him. Fair-mind-
ed judges say; "The others had the
weight of the argument" Moral: Be
master of the subject, and you will be
master of the audience.

EyThe rush of people to invest their
savings in the new government bonds
justiies Secretary Cages Judgment.
He has shown the far-reaching s;lgacity
of a statesman and financier. The eff
fects of this general distribution Of the
government loan among the people can
not be comprehended. The seeds of
sound money will be planted wherever
a bond is sold, for it is safe to say that

the bondholder may have been in the
past. in the future they will be found

During our civil war the United
States sanitary commission expended
about $21 100000 for the relief of sick
and wounded federal soldiers. The
Red Cross society is said to have en-
pended in the Russo-Turkish war ST.
100000 and in the Franco-Prussian war
$13,OoO,00o. These figures make pow
erful appeal to the imagination, if one
stops to reflect on the conditions which
call for such gigantic OUTLAWS; and
they also illustrate the demand which
modern warfare makes upon humani-
tvs sympathetic nerve.

Triumph OF Genius.

Modern warfare is Il practical illus
tration of the triumph of brains over
Drawn. The case was aptly put by
Scotch sailor who recently applied for
a position in the navy. Having en-
larged upon his experience and quail
fications. he was taken below and
asked if he could make this piece of
machinery, adjust that or repair the
other. In fit of desperation he left
the ship and said: They don't want
sailors nowadays; what they want is
dom blacksmiths," The Scotch sailor
was right, says the St. Louis Republic.
What is of most Importance to-day,
and particularly in the navy, is men Of
superior mechanical skill and genius.
Every man from artifcer to admiral
should be a master mechanic. In Eu-
ropean navies, England easily takes
first rank, France, Germany and Italy
rank next, then come Russia and
Japan. But it is notable fact that
when England furnished Russia with
modern battleships, she also had to
send along skilled mechanics to eX-
plain and operate them. But even Eng
land is not in advance of the United
States in mechanical genius. Our
latest battleships are clearly in adj
vance of anything yet produced by her
shipyards, and we have only just begun
to build navy. Herein is Spain's great
weakness. 1t is stated on the highest
authority that she has no mechanics
capable of keeping the machinery Of
her best ships in good repair. This
has been illustrated again and again
during the present war. Not only so,
but Spaniards lack the mechanical
genius necessary to the skillful use OF
the guns, and even if they had the
| talent are too indolent to learn. Not
so with Americans. They are race of
inventors. They have astonished the
world in the development and appli-
cation of mechanical forces, and no.
where is this more clearly shown than
in connection with the navy. The
force of this statement is seen in the
recent invitation extended Mr.. Scott,
the builder of the Oregon, by the car
of Russia. 1t is an acknowledgement
on the part of one of the foremost
powers of the world that American
genius in this line stands at the head
Clearly brains have triumphed over
Drawn in modern warfare, and will
continue to triumph.

The New York Herald having OBJ
served that Spanish lieutenant cap
tured in the Philippines is named Far
ragut, is reminded that David Glasgow
Farragut, who served under James J.,
hero, was descended from Don Pedro
Farragut, who served under James L.,
king of Aragon. Jorge Farragut, a
Spaniard born in SIinorca, emigrated
to America in 1776 and fought on the
revolutionary side in the war for indie
pendence. His son, born in Knoxville,
Tenn, was the hero of Mobile bay. This
is trife startling to those of us who
were ignorant of Admiral Farragut's
lineage. 1t is also a most curious fact
that so great seaman as the naval
genius of our civil war should have had
in SO large degree the blood of race
whose prestige on the sea had sunk to
the lowest terms.

War signnls for Farmers.

If plans under consideration are per-
fected the trains of the great railroads
of the United States will become dis
seminators of war news, bearing at
fastest speed news OF American vic
tories or defeats. The plan was
Matched several days ago, and already
many Of the largest railroads have
agreed to take part in it. 1t is pro-
posed to carry the news to the country
districts by means of flags flying from
trains. For this purpose various pieces
of bunting will be provided the train
crews and instructions as TO the
proper means of displaying them will
be issued to all agents and dispatchers.
Codes explaining the signal system
will be distributed by each road to the
districts through which IL passes, in
order that the people may be able to
read the messages. 1t is contemplated
to give only the meager information of
victory for American or Spanish
arms, though the signals will show
whether the victory is on land or sea.
A United States flag will mean vic
tory for American land forces. A
United States flag with a blue pennant
above will show victory for the
American navy. The Rock Island, Bur
lington, Northwestern, Illinois Cen
trail and Baltimore & Ohio roads have
adopted this scheme.

ACCIDENTALLY HANGED HIMSELF.


News comes from the summit of Chilkeot

packing his outfit over TO the lakes. He ac-

TO the front end of the sled and was draw
ing his load along the uneven trah. Sud-
denly the s:ed struck steep deciivity and
before the man could secure himself he
had lost his foothod and the sled was

tried TO extricate himself. Then the rope
got fastened around his neck and ne was
