It is questionable whether the history of
Journalism in the United States, if that of
any country, can show a parallel to the
case presented by the indianapolis Press,
the first number of which was issued on
the 18th instant. Messrs. Holiday and
Richards, the editor and publisher, re-
spectively, are the gentlemen who's made
the Indianapolis News such a remarka BILE
success, and if present appearances are
worth anything. as an indication of the
future their new venture is pretty certain
to yield an equally satisfactory return for
their acknowledged integrity, ability and
enterprise.

The Post of Danger.

The death of General Lawton at the head
of his column brings out the fact that he
was accustomed to expose himself freely
IN action and that he might have fallen
thus in any one of the hundred and more
fights in which during his long ard brilliant
service he was engaged. Those familiar
with his history. while inexpressibly panied.
are not surprised at his end He seems to
have borne for protracted period when
his dangers are considered a charmed life.
His good fortune may have increased in
trepidity naturally great. But ii is plain
from all We hear about him that his proper
post was the post of danger; that it is
given 10 men of his type to exercise their
best gifts and achieve their greatest sue
&C sses by a conspicuous personal partic1pa-
tion in the work to which they are melting
their men.
General Lawton was of the school of
fighters of which the confederate cavalry
leader General Forrest was another Illus
trious representative. There was some
sembiance between the two men other than
this. Each was physical giant. Each
was absolutely fearless man. Each was
q tireIess rider after the enemy. Each
struck unexpectedly and with all his might.
And each sought and kept in battle the
post Of danger, and inspired his men with
his own spirit. Each was constantly ex-
pOstulated with, and urged to direct the
movements from a place of safety, but
neither would ever adopt the course sug-
gested. 1t is among the marveIs of the civil
war that General Forrest lived to see the
end OF it. He seemed TO invite death a
thousand times on the field as soldier, but
received his summons at last in bed as a
citizen.
General Lawton dies in battle, untfmely.
as all will feel, and deeply mourued by all.
But the end crowns his career with glory
The country loses heavily by this one act
of intrepidity, but who shall estimate, be-
ginning with the modest service In the
ranks nearly forty years ago. what the
country has gained one field and an
other from the risks taken by this man,
whose personal daring was an inspiration
to every man who followed him? Indeed
Lawton out of danger while fighting was
In progress would have been Lawton out of
his element and largely out of influence

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t is a sensible decision the cadets al
West Point have come to, to abandon haz-
ing. 1t is "A foolish custom anywhere and
particularly unworthy of the academy
For haZing. if you think of it, violates the
obligations of hospitality toward strangers
and he duty of the stronger to protect the
weak. 1t is not quite gentlemanlike, ano
that ought to be enough to condemn it.
The decision to give up haZing appears
not to have been entirely voluntary. The
superintendent has been Furnishing offend
ers so remorselessly that he has made
good behavior compulsory. and after a
number of cadets had been summarily dis
missed the rest concluded that hazng did
not pay. This shows that the suppression
of haZing was not. after all impossible.

From the Cleveland Leader.
Some of the documents of the insurgent
government which were captured by the
American troops in Luzon are said to prove
conclusively that the uprising of the rebels
was planned long before Manila was sur
rendered by the Spaniards 1t will not be
at al surprising to learn that the revolt
was planned long before 1t actually took
place. AS a matter of fact the American
commander at Manila knew the natives
were ready for an outbreak, and that was
why the insurgents were forbidden to enter
our lines before the beginning of hostiIities
Nevertheless, the anti-imperiaists in the
United States have insisted that there
would have been no trouble If troops
had not precipitated it, and this document

Senator Morgan of Alabama. whose lead

question of expansion and an uncompromis-

Not Enough to Go Round.

Quoth Santa Claus, I'm puzzled sore
To know just what to do;
I've many friends, l want still more,
And hope my foes are few.
Through months I've toiled, nor cared 70
rest,
To aid the general glee.
And hang for each what he liked best
Upon the Christmas tree.
A sad dilemma jars my calm
And hurts me, through and through
Joe Chamberlain wants victory's palm
And Dom Paul wants one, too.

From the ST. Louis Globe Democrat.

Siam, too. is about to adopt the gold

are China and Mexico. and the Indications
are that Mexico will get out of that dis
creditable association before many more
years pass. OF course the drift against sill

Another Criminal Aggression,


The attention of the "anti-imperialists''
should be called to the expectation of 500
American cats to Manila. The insurgent
rats in the Philippine capital are making
so much havoc that some firm power is de-
sired to put them down, but what right
have We to extend the sway of the Ameri-
can feline over that distant corner of the
earth? This is beneficent assimilation with
Q vengeance.

MISS HOYT DEFEATED.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE colors of

ington Valley Cricket Club, Rydal, Pa, in
the first round of the womens golf cham
pionship tournament now being held on the
links of the Philadelphia Country Club at
Bala, near this city. Miss Hoyt was the
favorite all along and even when Mrs. Fox
was two UP with five to play the Shinne-
cock player was still looked upon as win
ner Miss Hoyt has been the champion of
the women golfers of the United states Tor
three years.
A great gallery followed Miss Hoyt
and Mrs. Fox around the course. Mrs. Fox
started out well, but Miss Hoyt drew up to
her on the fourth hole and was one UP on
the seventh hole. Here Mrs. Fox braced up.
She evened up on the eighth and went ahead
on the ninth hole. Miss Hoyt, try as she
would, could not catch up and Mrs. Fox
won by three up and two to play. Mrs.
Foxs work on the green was excellent,
while that Of Miss Hoyt was somewhat in
different. Mrs. Fox's strokes were also
superior to those of the Lons, Island player.
The best contest of the day was between

Archbishop Chapelle's Journey to the

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 1.-Archbishop
Chappelle,. papel delegate to the Philippine
islands, tonight gave out his first inter-
view regarding his important. mission. II
have talked over my mission thoroughly
with President Mckinley" he said, "and
we understand each other. My errand is
one OF pacifcation. 1 hope to accomplish
what the army of the United States has
failed TO do. to bring peace to the islands

departure regardless Of all else, and will
leave at the earliest possible opportunity

am going to try to accomplish"
The archbishop was asked as to what
would be done with the church property in
the Philippines. This matter has been dis
cussed by me with the authorities in
stand each other. The report that the prop
critics are jointly held in the name Of the
church and crown is erroneous The prop
critics belong and have always belonged to
the church alone. 1t will be simple ques-
tion OF proving title. i have received no
intimation that confiscation is intended. The
church has been established in the Philip
pines for upward of three centuries, and
to the church Is due the credit OF civiliza-
ton existing there now, a civilization which
has raised the inhabitants OF the Island OF
LuZon to a higher stage OF culture than ex-
lists to-day in Massachusetts,. BY this state
ment i mean that the proportion of litter
acy In Luzon Is smaller than II is in Massa-
chusetts. The priests have worked hard.
and many Of them have acquired individual
property. The property of the church in
the Philippines is private property, as much
so as the possessions of any individual citi-
zen OF the United States. This talk about
superfiuous holdings amounts to nothing.
This government is in possession of nv
plans and / will work In accord with the

BRYAN ON THE ISSUES
COL. w. j. WILL NOT LET THE SILL

He Admits, However, that Other I'M
portant Matters Have Come to the
Front, and Predicts Success.

DES MONIES, Ia, Oct. I.-William ].
Bryan was interviewed to-day on the po-
litical issues. especially the Philippine ques-
ton. He said: 1--WE are planning to make
things just as lively in the campaign next
year as possible and think we will succeed
better than in 1896. Former issues have
changed somewhat and new ones have come
in which strengthen our position and will
add many votes to column. do not
deem 1t advisable or possible to state so
far ahead what issues will be chief in i'm
portance. Conditions and circumstances
may change between now and then, so as
to make certain issues of greater relative
Importance then than now. Our issues Of
1896 just important now as then;
others have arisen since then and still more
may command attention.
AS to the withdrawal of troops from the
Philippines, Mr.. Bryan dictated this state
ment: mo, / do not favor the withdrawal
of our troops. What I do believe and have
repeatedly announced, is that we should at
once declare our purpose in unequivocal
terms, so positive that the Filipinos cannot
doubt it, to grant them full and complete
independence the moment they have es-
tablished a stable government. / be-
lieve that If we should make such an an
nouncement right now the war would cease
in very short time and our troops could
withdraw without laying down their arms
in the face of the enemy. Furthermore,
I believe IL we had come out with such an
announcement in the beginning the war
would never have occurred. i am not una
ware that a few half-hearted efforts have
been made in that direction from time to
time but they were made in such way
as to raise strong question OF their sin
cerity."
Mr.. Bryan said after a few more days
in Iowa he will go to Kentucky and then to
Ohio to close his campaign.
