Mrs. f. NJ Sewers was just getting
ready to take the boat for Chicago last
evening on her way to Florida when
she was visited by the owner OF "a large
brick hotel in Belding, Mich, and OF

a liberal figure. In few moments she
had contracted to go to Belding and
gave up the proposed trip to Florida.
She left to-day for Belding. Mrs. Sow

THE POOR ROy'S COUNTRY.

It's "A favorite cry of the populists
that under the present condition OF
things the poor boy has no chance in
the struggle for existence To rise 10 af-
hnence, fame or eminence. Congress
man j. +. bolivar, Of Iowa, says:
Every now and then | meet man
who says that the poor boys are being
crowded out of the race of life by yari-
Gus institutions, and that nobody has
any chance in this world except the
children OF the rich. IL is a fayOrte
conviction Of mine that the only man
who has any chance i'm this world, or
ever had, is the poor young man. You
take the presidents of the United
States, nearly every one the child of
poverty. Is that an accident | main
tain II Is type, and results from
law which is higher than any act OF
congress. II you give man one hum
dred dollars in this world to start with
the trouble is he never starts. All the
work that ever has amounted 10 any
thing has been done by men and wo-
men trained under the discipline and
hardship of poverty. Out of census
taken in New York city by myself
found that everybody there who a.
mounted to anything had walked into
that town from the rural districts;
every great lawyer, every great bank
er, every great railroad president, ev-
cry great journalist, every great
preacher, every great physician, every

HUNDREDS OF HEROES.

Senatar Pcttus, Of Alabama, spoke
the thought of the public when he
rldiculed the promotion Of 900 officers
for heroism in the battle of Santiago.
Hardly as many as nine of that num-
Der really did anything extraordinary
in that action, and ''this wholesale
reward" as Senator Pcttus says,
''cheapens the whole business. The
fight on land at Santiago was i'm
portant only in its results. 1t was
not much Of fight. Such fighting
as there was was done chiefly by the
regiments Of regulars, one of colored
the volunteer regiments clinging, as
rule, to the ground in the rear.
The General in command felt him.
self far beaten at the end of the
second days fight that he was con-
tcmplatIng retreat. General TOral's
surrender was due to subsequent
bluff. 1t was mere luck-the folly of
Cervera's effort to escape from the
harbor-that put it in the power of
the Americans to argue Toral into
the idea that the situation was hope
less. Upon the whole, the campaign
was successful, but there were not
quite 900 heroic oilic in it-Balti-
more Sun.

Poor Lo, the Indian, will soon be as
much of a tradition in Alaska as he is
in the Western States. Most Of the ma
tives are passing through what for
them is certainly the degrading process
Of civilization. The Aleuts particularly
are abandoing their ancient costumes
and customs and aping the dress and
manners of the paleface. Among this
people the aboriginal fur garments
have been almost entirely replaced by
the white mans store clothes and the
aboriginal stomach is being slowly but
surely corroded by the white mans
rum.
Parenthetically, I may remark that
the worst whisky on this green earth is
sold right here in little old Alaska. I
would give a good-sized nugget for a
genuine Manhattan cocktail, and am
not what Kentucky colonel would call
a drinking man. One feels the need of
really pure stimulant occasionally in
these parts. 1t is doubtful If any man
would remain a teetotaler long in this

Justice to Rear Admiral SchIey.
(Atlanta Constitution

1t is to the credit of the American
sense of fair play that Rear Admiral
Schlcy will rank Rear Admiral Samp-
son.
A wise discretion is left with the
commander-in-ch chief, whereby he may
place in command of armies or of
fleets, officers who have developed
special aptitude for command, re-
gardless of their previous rank. 1t
is in the exercise Of such power that
the danger Of mistake comes. In the
navy the upsetting Of ranks was
something fearfnl to contemplate.
Sampson was showed in ahead of
SchIey, while both were placed ahead
Of Watson. The disturbance of rank
having begun, Sampson proceeded to
claim the glory of victory which
Schlev had won.
During the debate in senatorial
executive session the nomination of
Sampson to rank Schley was severely
criticised. Secretary Longs letter
was the result OF this controversy, in
which he took occasion to charge
cowardice upon Schley, because, sin
violation of orders, he had gone to
Cicnfuegos when he should have re-
manned at Santiago"
The reply Of Schley was crushing.
He conclu-ively proved, by a sup
pressed order, that he went to Glen
fuegos at SIMPSONS command; that
Sampson had complimented him for
the very work which Long sought to
censure, and that he had acted in
strict accord with discipline and duty
all the way through. The answer
made it plain that d political cabal
existed, the purpose OF which was to
| elevate Sampson at any cost, no
matter what the in Justice might be
| to others.
1t is highly creditablc to the Presi-
dent that, without adding words to
the quarrel, he simplified the situa-
ton by sending in a second nomina-
ton, in which he placed Schley two
numbers above Sampson, and in this
shape the promotions have been con-
| tirmed by the Senate The press OF
| the country also deserves its share OF
credit for having defeated conspir-
acy to detract from the justly won
| laurels of the gallant Schley.

make him miserable, he laughs at his
frozen fate and finds humor in conges-
tive chills. Pleuro-pneumonia is a
huge joke with him, and diphtheria a
delicate witticism. AS for such petty
details as food, clothing and shelter,
they are to him absolutely ridiculous.
He can get along with less of them
than any man on earth. except the
Frisco Chinaman. I have seen him,
when the mercury was shrinking into
the lowest part Of the bulb, trot around
with nothing on above his waist and
his feet bare. Nevertheless, when he
is playing in luck, he will swaddle him
self in furs like gay Parisienne. It
takes such a philosopher to exc out
existence in the Arctic Zone.
The Eskimo's cheerfulness is the
more laudable In view Of his relations
with his mother-in-law. That estima-
BILE lady rules him with an iron hand.
She has by law, what she has by Gus
, tom in civilized climes, the right to die
| tate to him in every detail Of his shiv-
cry career. The Eskimo would not dare
to build new igloe or kayak or bidar-
ka, to go on a journey, to sell bun
die Of furs, to buy anything whatsoever
| or to cut his hair without consulting
