Fighting for a Sentiment

The masses of the north will fight and
fight hard and long, as we of the south
have had proved to us. Moreover, they will
fight for sentiment, as we also know by
Supplementary will fight better for a
sentiment than for anything else. But for
the sentiment of the north about "the old
flag and 1.-The preservation of the Union,'
South Carolina would now be member of
the Confederate states of America. That
is self-evident proposition. While that
section utilized an enormous immigration
to recruit its armies, it would have de-
feated the south without much aid, be-
cause 1t was still far stronger than the
south. Chckamauga, Gettysburg, Sharps-
burg and Fredericksburg proved its fight
ing capacity. If we do not recognize that
we can claim no credit for our own glorious
fighting for four years, and we would
have no excuse for our defeat.-Columbia

People who are the victims of sensitive
teeth that crumble and acquire cavities
readily may do much toward checking this
dental decay by the use Of a simple rem
edy. A bottle of milk of magnesa should
be kept on the washstand, and each night,
after brushing the teeth just before retir-
ing, some of it should be held in the mouth
for a minute, that it may reach each side
of every tooth. By this process a coating
of the magnesa is formed over the sensi-
tive enamel which is thus protected from
the action of the acids that form in the
mouth during sleep. The magnesia will
remain on the teeth for three or four hours.
Washing the mouth with a solution of BIZ
carbonate Of soda after eating sour fruits
or salads is also recommended by dentists,
as the soda, like the mngnesia. counteracts
the injurious effects of the acid upon the
enamel.-Harper's Bazaar.

When the American people were given an
opportunity to show their sympathy for
the Cubans in a material way, all the world
knows how they responded. Thousands of
dollars and hundreds of tons of provisions
were poured into Cuba. But no one can
tell how much of that failed to reach its
intended destination and went to fatten
Spanish soldiers. Six hundred tons of
provisions and nearly $4,000 were sent to
Matanzas, as the Kansas Star relief fund
alone. They also sent agents to superin-
tend its distribution. Their agents were
mobbed and compelled to leave the city.
Our brave Consul Brice, at the risk of his
life, remained at his post distributing sup
plies to the starving people until called
away. He said that 100 tons of provisions
were left in the warehouse and enough in
the chldren's hospital to supply their
wants for month, but that the Spanish
soldiers had seized the hospital supplies
and would take the others when they were
needed.
President Mckinley, who called upon the
private people of this nation for the aid
that would have been unnecessary had
the government done its duty, was too
feeble to protect the supplies furnished
even with the army and navy Of the ma
ton at his command.
One hundred Americans were at Matan-
zas when Consul Brice left many of them
native born. Too poor to pay for pas
sage from the island, yet realizing the fate
in store for them if they remained they
begged Consul Brice, with tears, to take
he telegraphed President Mckinley, urg-
ing him to send a warship and bring our
people away. 1t was never done. OuI
warships were weary, patroling the coast
for flibusters.
If our government ever RECEIVERS fron
the odlum of its attitude on the Cuban
question, it will have to do something
speedily to redeem itself. The world will
not always be blinded, nor will our people
always wait patiently for their will to be
executed, when they realize that they are
waiting in vain. WINNIE BELL.

honesty of men sick of the degra-

Yes, my friends, if among your
acquaintance you have one of
those chance criminals whom you
now know to be reliable, just get
his honest opinion about a large
percentage of the so-called GRIM
inal class and you will discover
that you have been wrong in jump
ing at conclusions; you will find
that in truth there are a large
number of these men waiting at
the threshold for the bar of false
public opinion to be lowered that
they may again enter the fold.
just as many a fallen woman in
the bitterness of tears pines for a
return to the path of honored
womankind, so there are men who
seek to reenter the fold of honesty.
But the way is barred-and barred

few of the very strongest mental

rience may prove it wise to shut up
and isolate all newspaper makers and
literary people and support them with
out the usual cares, perplexities, bad
influences and worse collections, at the
public expense.
We thank the Printer Journalist
for the compliment, and we can
verify every word said regarding
the benefit of isolation for literary
workers. We would advise every
editor to take a twelve month vaca-
ton in a state prison and we will
guarantee that in that space Of
time they will become better ac-
quainted with their inner self than
in a life time of freedom. The
lunatic asylum is our short suit:
some form of good or bad luck has
so far prevented our making con-
nection with a lunacy commission.
But we are ''long" on prison ex-
perience and can recommend it as
the best developer Of the true ego.

but does the editor of the National

mination and will accommodate

consist of about fifteen or twenty
fresh, unpublished stories and
anecdotes strung together, each
anecdote showing some character

show famous personalities through
their own doings and sayings, and
to make these articles accurate the

will thus represent the closest

A STERN example of the results

death Of Herb Kingsbury, of War
wick, R. I. He was given a first
class education and had all the
comforts of an ideal home. At the
age of twenty-one he came into an
inheritance of 100000 left by his
father. And this sum was prac-
tically his death warrant. Both
parents being dead he was without
any restraining influence, and en-
tered the ranks Of sports, becom-
ing the crony Of John L. Sullivan
and his coterie Of high-fyers. He
lighted cigars with bills Of large
denomination, gave expensive sup
pers and sought to keep up the
hottest pace in his vicinity, with
the result that his hundred thou
sand vanished and he was COM
PEELED to accept the position of
porter and piano thumper in a
roadhouse where he formerly was
chief patron. In that position he
was forced to take nickels and
dimes from the men upon whom
he lavished his patrimony. His
health being undermined from RI
otous living he was forced to enter
the poorhouse of the county in
which he was born. He died there
Sunday without a friend or dol
lar he could call his own. His

lows while his money lasted, but
such friendship expired when his

CHANCE CRIMINALS.

In THE course of time in every
state of the union a comparatively
small number Of names of men
usually noted for their honesty are
found on the prison records. The
men we allude to are those who, in
the ordinary course Of affairs,
would be the last ones to be
thought of as prospective prison.
ers. Usually their offenses we're
such as would be committed by
any man when reused to an uncon-
trollable passion; or the offense
might have. been due to financial
mismanagement Of the affairs Of
others. But whatever the crime,
they were men of more than ordi-
nary intelligence-men who were
looked up to as prominent in the
affairs of life, and as such their ex-
perienced opinions on criminal
matters, after having served time
in prison, should carry some
weight.
Ask any Of these ''chance GRIM
inals," as they have been termed,
for their opinions of prisoners and
prison life and you will be sur
prised at the earnest manner in
which the speaker tells you of his
conversion from former erroneous
notions of the criminal. Many
examples might be quoted of ex-
prisoners formerly well-known in
business circles, more especially
throughout the eastern states, who
have reclaimed their original posi-
ton in society and are now the
staunchest friends of prisoners.
No one will claim that this friend
ship is induced by any attach
ment made by association as a
prisoner with a fellow prisoner.
In the very nature of things it is
the first thought of the ordinary
ex-prisoner to escape from all con-
nection with his former disgrace.
And it is not even plausible to sur
mise that men brought up amid
cultured surroundings would be
apt to give a second thought to
men indirectly associated with
them in disgrace. Yet we have
the spectacle of these very men
working as it were, tooth and nail,
to convince the general public that
the prevailing estimate of infamy
attached to the general offender is
false and unjust. We could give
the names of several of these men,
if necessary, but it would be unfair
to them to recall an unenviable
period in their career. Within
their own section of the country
they are now known and respected;
and their work in behalf of many
friendless prisoners has in a great
measure offset the tenacious grasp
of malignant prejudice that is the
greatest bar to a full return to
