Members Of the Association.

I'VE have here an association number
ing, if We include all those who by the
rules of the association may be fairly con-
sidered its members, something like seven
hundred. There are 2.100 daily newspa-
pers in the United States. 1t, perhaps, does
not become me "a a representative of the
seven hundred to deny the assertion made
by the fourteen hundred that you have a
monopoly Of the news-gathering enterprise
and abilities of this country (Applause)
But If were on the other side 1 would
want to find some other ground on which
to plant my case. They stand upon pre-
cisely that footing. They stand upon the
footing that a field of enterprise which is
open to every individual in this country
whether he owns a newspaper does not
a field Of enterprise which. indeed in the
old country is chiefly exploited by a man
who has not a newspaper; they stand upon
the footing that this field which is open TO
enterprise, open to courage, open TO sa-
gacity, open to industry. Is closed to them.
Well, the courts will never protect the
sluggard. (Applause.) Laws are made for
the diligent, and you will be protected In
the outcome because you are simply as
sorting the right to the fruits of your own
labor. And there is no higher and no pro-
founder principle involved in this contro-
versy than that proclaimed in the days of
cid, that the laborer Is worthy of his hire"

A Swiss Experiment.

The combined railway companies OF
Switzerland are making an interesting
experiment in what must be called season
tourist tickets for the present summer.
The idea Is that the traveller shall take q
season ticket at the outset of his Swiss
tour. This ticket is available for Is or 80
days. II he chooses the shorter period, he
pays 60, AZ or 80 francs for first, second or
third class respectively. If his ticket Is TO
cover period Of so days, then he IL
charged 100, 20 or SO francs, according to
class ms before. With these tickets he can
travel over Switzerland, from the Rhine
to tho Rhone, from Bale to Geneva, from
Geneva to Italy and from Italy to Con;
stance, in any direction and for any num-
Der of times, this being season as wall
as tourist ticket, and the only limitation
being tho end of the 10 or 80 days Tho
steamers Of tho railway companies are also
at his disposal on the lakes of Zurich,
Thun and Brienz. so that he can vary his
route over land and sen, and he can return
homo with the happy assurance that he
has covered the most difficult railways OF
Europe for the sum Of 30 francs. Pail

STICK SEA CHARTS.
The Wonderful Navigating Feats of Ma
tives of the Marshall islands.


The German protcctoratc of the Marshall
islands, which lie just cast of tho C;.rclincs
In the equatorial Pacific, contains tho
most daring sailors known. They are con-
stantly performing featS in navigation
that European sailors feared to venture OF,
long after they had the compass. which
Instrument, by tho way, tho Marshall is
landcrs reject as useless.
The archipelago lies in two widely sop
aratcd groups, the Ratl;ck and tho Rnlick
chains, and in each chain the islands lie
for tho most part at extensive intervals.
Yet the native pilots conduct voyages all
over their own archipelago nnd to til.
Carolincs in one direction and the Gilbcrts
In another. For this voynging they rely
upon charts of their own construction. tho
knowl ledge having been handed down from
remote antiquity. These charts are rcn
orally ahouta yard square and are con
Structcd Of slender sticks tied together. At
some intersections of the sticks are fasten
ed small shells, which stand for the differ
ont islands. Tho pilot posts himself in tho
bow Of the vessel With his chart before
him. He begins by establishing the par
ticuiar shell corresponding to the island
from which he is just sailing. He sets the
course as indicated by one of the sticks
radiating from that shell In the proper
direction. Thereafter no watches the
course In tho sea with very, slight use of
the heavenly bodies for the determination
of direction.
They make no secret of their art They
are often Mt great pains to teach it to white
men and wonder that no ono has vet been
found capable of grasping it. Their OK
PLANTATION is that each stick on churt
shows the course of q stream in the sea,
and that by following the streams they
can lind their way to their destination
They claim to SEQ these streams with their

Stringent Rules Govern the Seven Trials

There arc two kinds of target practice
required i'll our navy-th,t known us sea

rules nave been provided by the depart
menu prescribing six sea practices and one
record practice annually, and any failure
TO hold such practice must be fully cx-

cogcnt reasons will the omission of target
practice or the failure to properly cxpcnd

to get under way, proceed to sea and carry
out their instructions Tho object of at
