1t is noted with pleasure that the two
N ,rfolk candidates for sheriff have ut
last got together and formulated n plan
whereby it is hoped to solve the difficult
problem as to who shall be the choice of
the Norfolk delegation before the repub.
lican county convention which meets at
Battle Creek on Saturday, September IL.
Whether the plan will be n success is as
yet an open question, but following the
spirit which %actuates the candidates to
go into an agreement for the sake of
harmony, the delegates will without
doubt reach u conclusion that will be
satisfactory all around. The best
feature of the agreement is the fact that
it does away with n fight in the party
which would tend to weaken the sup
port so that neither candidate could be
elected should he be nominated. Al
the case now stands, the party will re-
main united and whichever candidate
receives the nomination has n right tC
except the full strength of his party tC
back him Mt the polls.

variance with the eastern anti.imper-
ialists whose strong point OF issue has
beer all along that the war against Spain
was wrong. The western people are
naturally oxp%ansionists. II is inbred in
the westerner to believe in the ultimate
greatness of the country and to think
that the greatest blessing that could be
given any region of the earth would be
to find itself under the protecting folds
of the stars and stripes.

Now that Colonel Ingersoll is dead,
the question arises: What, precisely,
was the influence which he exerted upon
the thought and feelings of his contem.
poraries, and what is the likelihood that
the effect of his teachings, in his writings
and lectures, will prove n lasting one?
That is the subject to which Rev. DR..
Henery M. Field addresses himself in
his article on "Ingersoll's Influence" in
the September number of the North
American Review. DIR. Field is sim
gularly we'll qualified to deal with this
topic, as he was not only an intimate
personal friend of the great agnostic,
but was the champion of the Christian
faith in the most famous religious con
troversy in which Colonel Ingersoll
engaged, Writing of Colonel Ingersoll's
personal qualities, DR.. Field says:
1.-The more | became acquainted with
lngersoll, the more | was interested in
his personality. He was not as other
men are. The typical American is a

his quick step, in the flash of his eye,
and the gesture Of his hand. When
Thackeray was in New York, he would
sometimes take his stand 1t the corner
OF q street to watch the passing crowd
as a study in national character. Had
he seen a man of stalwart frame walk
slowly by he would have said there goes
an Englishman! In all the years that
l have known lngersoll, | never a
him in a hurry. The crowd might rush
by but he never %quickened his pace, but
walked slowly as if in deep thought,
When met him in Broadway he was
always ready to stop under an awning,
or bya friendly door, and discuss the
questions of the day. If all the wisdom
that was exchanged between us had beer
preserved, possibly some might have
been wiser, but alas, it has been blow L
away like the autumn leaves!
1.-The two gods that Americans worship
are time and money. Ingersoll cared
for neither. Money had no attractions
for him except for the use he coulc
make of it. l nm told by one wht
knew of his affairs, perhaps even better
than Ingersoll himself, that his incom,
from his practice at the bar and hi
lectures was often not less than a hun
|, dred thousand dollars a year, yet it wa
| soon scattered, He could not den,
5 himself the pleasure of giving it away
The tales of his generosity had gone ia
r and wide, and every morning there wa
a pile of letters on his desk from poo
clerks who were starving in garrets, an,
r young women who could not find an,
. means of support. To such appeals h
+, responded so bountifully that they cam
faster and faster. His friends warne
him against the impositions that wer
I practriced upon him, and told hir
' that he ought to have a bureau of inquiry
but he answered that he had rather b
cheated a dozen times than leave on
u poor girl to suffer and perhaps to die !
