only learnt the wisdom that Roosevelt
could teach them it would not be so
difficult to reconcile politics and the
scholar, in this country.
When Colonel Roosevelt was asked
one day what he would do with the
city young men if he had the power,
'I'd order them to work. said he as
quick as the snap of a gunlock. Il
have tried to do this by example" con-
tinued he, and it is what have
preached; for myself I'd work as quick
beside Pat Duggan as with the last de-
scendant Of a patroom; it literally
makes no difference to me as long as
the work is good and the man is in
earnest" No such wisdom as this
was learned at Harvard. And it is no
small tribute to the confidence which
this man is capable of inspiring even
in men who never saw him-and most
of whom were also aware that he had
ever been in action-that volunteers
from every part of the union more
freely staked their lives upon Colonel
Roosevelt's judgment and were less
afraid to die if necessary in his COM
pany, than if he were a West Point
graduate and full-fedged military
commander.
Roosevelt is a man with a future
who has learned human nature on the
prairies, and who can turn his kn0wl-
edge to account upon the tented fields.

ROMANCE OF AN IRON MINE.
How a Penniless Michigander Has Be
come Possessed of Great Wealth.

A correspondent gives the following
as the correct story of Charles A.
Chapir's life, about whom the Tribune
printed a paragraph the other day:
Charles A. Chaplin (not Chopin
was merchant in small way in a
little village in the upper peninsula Of
Michigan (Where alone in Michigan is
iron ore found) In course of time Mr..
Chaplin failed in business and turned
over all his property to his creditors
and was left penniless in his old age.
At a meeting of his creditors in De-
troit it was by one of them remarked:
Anyway, Charley Chaplin is an hon
est man, and / don't feel like turning
him out on the world Naked Among
the property turned over to these
creditors was quarter section Of tim
Der land that, if cleared, rocky though
it was, might be made to produce a
living for the old man and his equally
aged wife. This tender hearted cred
itor proposed that they should deed
back this land to Mr. Chaplin. This
was done, and in clearing up the land
iron ore was discovered on it, and, in
course of time, the discovery became
the celebrated Chaplin mine of Crystal
Falls, Iron county, Michigan. Mr..
Chaplin leased the right to mine the ore
to a Milwaukee (Wis.) company, with
a provision that not less than $4,000
tons of ore should be taken out each
year, and ON that royalty Of SO cents
ton should be paid to him. This roy
atty of not less than $4,000 year was
duly paid to Mr.. Chaplin for many
years, making him very rich man;
and he finally removed to Niles, Mich,
where he doubtless still lives. During
one of the periodical depressions that
overtake the iron business Mr.. Chaplin
reduced his royalty, and l believe it is
now fixed at Is cents ton. The out
put of the mine has been enormous;
some years it has been over 100000
tens, and last year and this year it has
been over 100000 tons, giving a royalty
of 100000 a year. New York Trib-
une.

The Japanese nation proposes to
hold in 1899 a great fair in honor Of
the fiftieth anniversary Of the opening
of that country to western civilization.
It is noteworthy that the Japanese al

ideas to the coming of Commodore
Perry to that country with squadron
of United States vessels nearly fifty
years ago.

HE GREAT PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
OF 1900.

The policies of the great political
parties are now being formed and
the candidates discussed. The voice
of the people AS recorded by ballot at
| the approaching presidential election
will probably decide the policy of the
nation for the next decade. Every
citizen must study the great ques-
tions that are to come before the
people. This can only be done
through the medium OF q great ne VS.
paper. Now is the time, therefore,
for every voter to subscribe for the
best and most reliable newspaper
obtaiDable. The Semi eekly Re-
public covers the whole field of poiit-
icaI news. While 1t is Democratic, it
publishes the news In regard to all
political parties without prejudice.
1t telegraphic and cable news service
Is superior to that of any other paper.
Its special features are the best. In
fact, il Is the paper for that large
class OF readers who cannot afford or
do not have access to the daily
papers.
Attention is also called to The Re-
public's Sunday Magazine. Its half
tone illustrations are alone worth the
subscription price. 1t is made up of
special articles by the best literary
talent. embracing q variety OF sub
jects of current interest. News fea-
lures of absorbing interest are ilIus-
trated and enlarged upon. For the
benefit of the ladies the latest
fashions are handsomely illustrated.
The Republic Sunday Magazine IL
always interesting to every member
of the family.
The subscription price of the Semi
Weekly Republic is 81 per year. The
Republic Sunday Magazine 81 IS per
year. Both papers are now being
offered at the very low price Of $3.50
for one year. To secure this low rate
both must be ordered and paid for at
the same time.
