aged eighty-two
He was born near Centrevine Wayne
county. Ind. May ;, 1917 Early in the
J century his parents who were Ouakers
went to Indiana. When the father died
young Julian was cast on his own re-
/ sources to get an education, and he was so
! successful that he was teaching school in
the winter and surveying in the summer
| while he was yet mere boy. He studied
! law and was admitted TO the bar when he
was twenty-one years old.
He was elected to the state legislature
in 1915. and it was then that his striking
| political career began. Four years later ne
was elected to Congress, and he imme-
| dtately made his mark as an unCompro-
missing foe of slavery and champion of the
J homestead system. He was the candidate
/ for Vice President on the free soil ticket
! of 1882
! In 1856 he was a delegate to the Pitts
! burg convention, the first national conyen-
! ton of the republic an party, and its
| vice president and chairman of the COM
| mittee on organization.

and remained member for ten years. He
| was a member of the committee on the
| conduct of the war, the committee on re-
construction and the committee appointed
| by Speaker ColtaN to prepare ARTICLES OF
! impeachment against President johnson.
As early as 1917 Mr.. Julian had espoused
the cause of woman suffrage, and in ISIS
he proposed in Congress a constitutional
amendment conferrIng the right TO vote on

President Cleveland appointed him survey
or general of New Mexico in 1885. and in
1889 he retired to private life at his home
| in Irvington, suburb of indianapolis.
7 Cassius NJ. Clay spoke Of Mr.. Julian as
the greatest man Indiana ever produced
except Oliver p. Morton. He was a fight
ing man in politics. and his energy never
slackened. In the feverish days before the
war Mr.. Julian rode about on a great white
horse and delivered strong addresses
against slavery at the daily risk of his life,
! for he had a host of enemies, made in bit
ter political struggles. In Congress he
worked steadily for the anti-siavery cause
ed by President Lincoln in 1862 and became
confederate property should have been con-
hscated after the war and distributed

An Encouraging Act.

Considering the condition of public opin-
ion on War Department matters, the Presi-
dent could not have done a better thing
than he has in making Major General Miles
Secretary Of War ad interim. Mr.. McKin-
ley knows that the country reposes con-
fidence in the ability and honesty of the
| General, and that even his temporary as
signment to the War portfolio will tend
to create an impression that the past dod-
dering policy forced upon the Commander
in-Chief, in respect of the Philippines, i:
to be changed to one of vigorous and eff
fective action.
At last the good sense of the President
has triumphed over the influence and de-
signs of his malevolent advisers. The Off
Ger whom the nation expects to be the mill
tary adviser of the President is at last in
touch with him. 1t is we'll 1t will be bet

than to place Nelson A. Miles at the head

Pyramid Harbor.

The most natural thing in the world is
to presume that on all occasions Col
John HAY. the American Secretary of State,
will show good native backbone. 1t is
understood that when the confidential re-
port Of Senator Fairbanks has been re-
ceived by the Government, measures Will
be taken to garrison Pyramid Harbor. in
Alaska, and to police large American dis
trict which our Canadian neighbors are
preparing to steal if they can do SO with
out collision with American troops.
Nothing that has happened in the his
tory of this generation has been more ex-
asperating than the evident determination
OF the Canadian authorities to seize Amer
Jean territory that they want. and then
depend upon the physical backing of the
British Government TO enable them to
hold it. They fancy that. if once they
can place the boundary dispute in such
a position, this country will succumb as
TO a force majeure. In taking that view
of the matter the Canadians are guilty of
a grave bIunder. They do not appreciate
the fact that the American people would
60 to war in minute with them, alone,
or with them in combination with Great
Britain, rather than surrender one inch of
soil, sand bank morass, or iceberg over
which the Stars and Stripes ever have
fioated legitimately for a single day.

tious fish to come and be caught, it has
been understood that fishing is, all things
considered. the LATEST sport in the world
That is why men who will work at moth
ing else are frequently good fishermen
and contrariwise, the man who is intense
ly busy in his working hours also makes
a good angler, because he enjoys his
leisure when he has it. and is willing to
exercise the Imitless patience needed to
secure the shy and wary trout. The in
vention of George Cook, of Louisville,
Kentucky, removes even the necessity OF
keeping awake while fishing Though as a

shore and ring bell. II will play a fish all
day, keep tight line, and eventually land
its prey when the fish stops resisting. 1t

attached to a pole like an ordinary reel.
Fishing by this method will seem to most
enthusiasts of the gentle art like play
ing book checkers or tobogganing on a
chute. but, like the song, it may become
popular in time

Let Them YeIp On.

II 1t be true that the anti-expansionists can
be Of so to speak, no immediate service to their
own cause, no matter how much they talk, it
is at least equally true that their power to OBJ
struet administration purposes is proportionately
limited. Nothing that they say, for instance,
will swerve the President of the United States.
Nothing that they have said has diminished his
determination to establish American supremacy
at Luzon and in the other islands of the
archipelago. They have submitted nothing cal
culated to make matters easier for Aguinaldo
in the heat OF conflict. They have not con-
WINGED Dewey that he was engaged in un-
worthy cause. On the contrary, they have pro-
voked from him the declaration that we shall
never part with the PHILIPPINES and that he is
sure in future years the idea that anybody
should have seriously suggested it will be re-
gafded as one of the curiosities Of history. They
have provoked from Captain Dyer, who COM
manded the Baltimqre, the declaration that those
who oppose the work OF the Army and Navy are
as low as those who take up arms against their
own country. Anti-expansion utteranees have
done no damage in American camps Nor have
they convinced or converted any statesman who
year ago was on the expansion side. Ii there
