End Of tn. World,

Great subjects are the order Of the
day in England. One Of these, which
is handled with as much eagerness as
if it were quite new, instead Of being
hoary and well worn, is that Of the
end Of the world. 1t is discussed these
last days in trains and omnibuses. at
dinner tables and In drawing rooms,
and everybody is very sure that 1t is
near at hand. But the only practical
suggestion in connection with the Inn
pending CLAP Of doom" which has
come to public notice was made by q
velvet-eyed infant, who, being present
at one Of these discussions, suggested,
gravely and eagerly: Mamma, II we
are all to die so soon, we'd better I'm
ish the new jam at once" This new
version of the maxim, Eat, drink and
be merry" though it may not say
much for the imagination Of the mod
ern infant, does at all events consid-
cradle credit to his brain.

OUR CANDIDATE IN 1900

The DEBORAH Republican assumes
that Gen. Miles lied about the army
beef. Either such beef was furnished
or Inspector General Breckenridge,
Gov. Roosevelt, and about sixty regu-
lar army officers of high chararaster
have deliberately lied. The Ameri-
can people are not prepared to be-
heve that the officers and soldiers
misrepresent the evidence of their
senses, when the evidence of their
not having told the truth is based up
on the report of Grenville NJ. Dodge,
who in Credit Mobilier times conspir-
ed with the robbers and thieves who
were plundering the government and
remained In hiding during the in
vestigation that followed. 1t is easier
for honest men to believe that the
war commission has been deceived
than t.at these soldiers have conspir-
ed to bear false witnesses against the
War Department.. The President In
appointing another commission to
make thorough investigation shows
bis lack of confidence in the report of
den. Dodge and others. Almost
covered up in the verbiage of that re-
port Gen. Dodge and his associates of

sion there was lacking in the genera,
administration of the war department
curing the continuance of the war
with Spain that complete grasp of
the situation which was essential to
the highest efficiency and discipline
OF the army.n
That is precisely what Secretary
Ayers critics have all along charged
against him, namely, that he had an
incomplete grasp of the situation
When 1t is considered that this mild
language was used by a commission
biased in favor of the secretary of
war all the claims of Mr.. Ayers crit
los who have maintained that he was
too small for the place have been sus-
tanned.

sweet Mares False Tall.


It is not given alone to woman, who
would make herself more beautiful
with abundant tresses, to rest while
her back hair hangs on the door knob.
On the contrary, there is a petted sor-
rel mare In this city which is bedded
down carefully every night by Morris
P. Sweet, a dairyman Of 1915 Folsom
street, while her switch, or rather her
tail, hangs up with the harness. Her
rresent owner has had her for several
years, and so deftly has he dressed
"Kittie's" back hair that he has driven
her over all the streets of San Fran

An Unru1y Tongue.

Mrs. Jennie Mickey, Of Fair Play,
Md, has been committed to Jail for ten
days as a common scold, under an an
tique statute Of colonial times that has
never been repealed. The prosecution
was brought by her husband, Charles
Mickey, respectable mechanic, in
dustrious and sober, who brought his
neighbors as witnesses to testify to
her bad temper and unruly tongue.
Mrs. Mickey is said to be good look
ing woman, 80 years old, and has two
children, aged and 8 years, who have
suffered much from her ungoyernable
passions. This is the first case Of the
kind known in that part Of Maryland
since the war.

Always on the Taxpaver

By stubbornly persisting in an un.
wholesome policy we have lost nearly
all OF the foreign carrying trade, in
30 far as the loss can be measured by
the flag of the carriers, and now it is
calmly proposed to mulct the tex
payers OF the United States in order
TO make good losing business. What
the carriers of the sea want is to be
allowed to buy their ships as other
competing carriers buy them. They
ask no odds Of anybody. Give them
an even chance, then let them alone!

Edmund Burke's Prophetic Warn.
inp.

In his speech at the trial of Warren
Hastings. Edmund Burke had this to
say Of the right of conquest: 1.-The
title OF conquest makes no difference
at all. No conquest can give right,
Tor conquest, that is force, cannot
convert its own injustice into a just
title by which it may rule others at
Its pleasure" No sophistry can over
come this plain proposition of
righteousness. 1t is affirmed in the
conscience of every man. And if this
country is to escape the ruin which
overtakes wrongdoers it must test its
policy by the standards of right.
This is the essential principle of true
American policy.-St. Louis Post
Dispatch.

he Did Not Go To war, But stin Wa.

Hero!
When the first call for troops reached
the village last spring John Black
struck his spade into the ground and
turned toward the house. "I'll goW he
said to himself.
But rs he neared the farmhouse he
stopped. There was his old mother and
poor crippled Jenny. How could he
leave them?
He had given up marriage for these
two; he had drudged all his life. But
here was great work to be done-a
chance really to live; or to die nobly.
The thought sent the hot blood rush
ing to his heart He would CO. He
could send his pay home to his mother
and Jenny.
But up the road just then came his
brother. His face was red. He was
painting Cuba Nbrep he shouted.

1t will be hard scratching for seven, l
know, but I'll never again have such a
chance to see something of life"
you've no right to shirk your duty
to your wife and children" said John
sternly.
But Will only laughed.
Nancy and the four children came
home, without a penny, and John
drudged faithfully for them all sum
mer. Nobody suspected he had wanted
to go. His mother and Nancy and the
whole village watched Wills course
with delight and pride. He was their
hero, their fearless patriot.
He was slightly wounded before
Santiago and came home on furlough.
He thrilled with exultation as he
stepped out Of the train and saw q
crowd Of people come to welcome him.
He was helped Into landau, over the
back of which was an American flag.
/ Hts townsmen had come to do him
honor He felt that he was hailed as
a favorite son. He nodded carelessly
to his brother.
"Helol Jogging on as usual3' he
said.
John drew back out of the crowd.
The old doctor, seeing his face, laid his
hand on his shoulder.
There will be another coming home
of men one Of these days, who have
been on q longer fight than that In
| Cuba" he said, quietly. And then
God will reward the heroes, unknown
as well as known, who have given life
and service for Him and for His needy
children. "-.Youth's Companion.

HOPE FOR HOPKINS.
His Friends Are Putting Their Best Efforts

The campaign for the appointment
of Col. w. S. B. Hopkins to the SUI
preme court bench is being actively
pushed by Worcester county lawyers.
Col. T. S. Johnson, City Solicitor Ar
thur P. Rugg and Hon. Charles G.
Washburn have had conferences with
Gov. Wolcott relative to the appoint
ment and the petitions to be presented
to the chief executive are being cir
culated throughout the county.
Friends of Col. Hopkins do not fear
in the least the candidacy Of Judge
Dewey of Springfield for the honor.
The western part of the state has all
ready two representatives on the SUI
preme bench and can reasonably raise
no claim to the vacancy. Then, too,
Judge Dewey is of advanced age and
that fact will initiate against him.
Worcester friends, believe that unless
the opponents of the Worcester man
combine for the raising&of a superior
court judge to the supreme court
bench, Col. Hopkins has the best of
chances of obtaining the appointment.
The petitions in his favor will be pre-
sented to Gov. Wolcott the first of the
