WHAT TIE VOTES WILL MEAN.

WHAT THE VOTES WILL MEAN.
The closing week of political campaign often
brings the most serious and earnest thinking
of the year and something like a revolution in
purpose. After months have been spent in eff
forts to hide or confuse the real issue the plain
people are likely TO ask themselves when Flee
ton Day draws near what will be the practical
effect u one verdict or the other. What men
profess to seek 10y their exertionS during a
heated campaign is not always the natural and
certain end toward which those eXcrtiOns tend.
and more than once voters enough TO turn the
scale have discovered that fact in the closing
days of canvass.
Il ought 10 he obvious to every voter this
wear that the continuance Of the unrivalcd
prosperity which the country now enjoys can
not be promoted by votes against the Rcpub-
ncan party The basis Of that prosperity is con
fdencc N the future. Republican defeats could
not fail 70 impair that confidence to some ex-
tent All men know that The Democratic party
or the Popust party, or any combination OF
these or other forms Of a. 'ositon, If given
power 10 direct National affairs. would change
The tariff 50 rs 10 lessen the defence Of home
Industries against foreign competition. would
change the monetary system 50 as 10 make less
certain the redemption in gold Of all outstanding
paper. and would enter upon some form OF war
fare against new industrial corporations on the
ground that they are liable If not intended to
establish monopOlioS No employer no wage
Garner no husincs man or banker should have
any difficulty in pcrceiving that such changes
would materially impair public confidence. In
fact any result tending 10 render such changes
more probable next wear would Immediately af-
feet public confidence and in consequence
would affect business prosperity. The voter IS
not fit for his trust who fails 10 realize that de-
feals Of The party in power in the year before
q Presidential election have some influence
TO discourage and weaken that party and 10
strengthen its opponents Votes against the
Republicans this year will Of necessity tend 10
lessen public confidence in the future. and TO
render continuance Of prosperity less assured.
II IS equally plain that such votes must tend
10 encourage and strengthen the enemies Of the
Government in the Philippines and all the
enemies II has. open or concealed, in other ISL
ands recently acquired aud I'm this country
The voter may have no such Intention. and may
wish only 10 express his dissatisfaction be-
cause something different was not done months
ago: hut II is the inevitable consequence that
all foes Of the Government will interpret such
opposing votes as condeInning the President for
his endcavor 10 establish United States au-
thority in Tie Philippines, and in general as
calculated 10 break down the policy which lie
has held It plain duty to pursue. There will

The indianapolis News has gotten in

lynching Indeed, 1t has gotten so warn
for the cool effrontery that necessarily at.
taches to any Indiana criticism Of lynch
ings at the South.
| If the Palmetto lynching meets the
violent denunciations the News INDUCES

| lynching?
The Palmetto victims were lynched for
having been I'm a conspiracy to burn a
town. The Urbana victims were made
to answer TO mob law because they stole
a lot OF corn whiskey, etc, and of the
two performances, unquestionaby the
former was decidedly more orderly"
than the latter.
There never was a more brutal exhibit
ton of mob law than that made by the
Urbana lynchers. Moreover, the result Of
the effort to bring the Indiana lynchers
to justice showed that the mob had the
sympathy Of the people of their entire sec
ton.
Sweep, calmly, deliberately. and honestly
in front of your own door, friend, before
beating your broom out in paroxysm of
rage in front of the door of your southern
neighbor. When you are tempted to heave
stones in this direction, pause and take
counsel Of the fact that you live in a glass
house, and that the glass is not only
very thin, but so transparent that your
hypocrisy can be seen through it by all
the world.

For Tropical Diseases.
CNew York Evening Post.)

A medical school for the study OF tropi-
cal diseases is to be established in Eng
land as an incident of colonizing In West
Africa. Mr. Chamberlain explained 10
the House of Commons that the constant
deaths of promising officers, civil and
military, I'm the West African colonies,
had determined the Colonial ONCE TO do
all in it's power to combat the little-under-
stood diseases of the African coast. What
had been done in Calcutta and Hongkong
and in Jamaica, to take away their am
cient reproach of being the graveyard OF
British officers. he thought might be done
for West Africa. The scheme contem-
plates special training for nurses and ply
sicians. none of whom shall hereafter be
appointed to stations in West Africa until
after taking postgraduate course in the
hospitals selected for the detailed study
and treatment of the various forms or
African fever. The initial expense TO the
government will not be large. as existing
hospitals will be utilized and the Royal
Society has made a grant of funds to
assist in the work. The project was cor
daily approved by Parliament, even Mr.
Labouchere joining in with the wish that
West Africa might be made so salubrious
that the Colonial Secretary would go
there in person.

Mr.. George Z. Handy, Of Tacoma
Wash, writes the Atlanta Constitution
Of recent visit he made to Dan Emmett
the author Of Dixie" He says Emmett
lives within a mile or two of Mount YER
non, o., in plain, one-story cottage, con-
tanning two rooms, with a small plot OF
apparently uncultivated ground attached,
and with a few chickens, ducks, &C.,
about, but with evidences of poverty all
about, too. He learned that Emmett's
sole cash income was a monthly remit
lance Of SO. which he received from the
Actors Fund and that of this one-half
was regularly given to sister. or sister,
in-law, who was in INDECENT circum-
stances herself. when Emmett wrote
Dixie" continues Mr.. Handy, land it
was decided to publish it. he sold 1t out
right for lump sum TO Firth Hall &
Co., Of New York city, but it is possible
that before he did that he may have had
royalty arrangement. which did not,
however, last long, as he was rather i'm
provident. and may have found himself
hard up, under which condition he
would be willing to sell out. However
that may have been, he never had the
royalty contingent interest TO fall back
upon in his later days, and it appears
that in executing the assignment of copy
right his lack of knowledge of copyright
law led him to sign away not only the
first term OF copyright as is usual, but
in addition thereto he also signed away
all his interest in the second term Of four
teen years, which, under ordinary condi-
lions, would revert to the author or his
heirs" In view OF all these circum-
stances, Mr.. Handy makes the following
suggestions: "Inasmuch as Emmett was
the composer of the real battle song Of
the Confederacy, and he is now poor. and
cannot have very many more years TO
live, since he is so years old, would It not
be feasible for some prominent paper TO
agitate through the South the idea of
raising a small annuity for him, to be
paid during his lifetime, and after death.
the principal TO be disposed of as might
be thought best. either to some directly
charitable institution in the South. or
through the Actors Fund? should think
that on from $500 TO $500 a year he
would feel that he was living like a king
as he has the little house and plot of
ground / spoke Of. If 1t were done. il
ought to be confined to subscriptions from
natives of the South exclusively, and the
money should be provided in such a way
that Emmett would use it for himself.
and not be in position to give it away.
as he would be inclined to do" Certainly
all southern people woul be glad to do
what they could to secure for the author
of Dixie" protection from want but
whether the plan suggested by Mr.. Handy
is feasible or not we do not know.

Max Rosenberg. l0-year-oid boy, who
resided In New York, recently lost his
life on account OF playmate's patriot
ism. The two lads. together with several
other urchins. were enjoying q game CALI
ed Rough Riders" " hich Is very popu-
lar with the East-Sidc Juveniles. This
game requires the children to divide into
two parties-one representing the Span
iards and the other the Amerlcans-and
to wage a sham-battle. by rushing to-
gether. or course. all hands are invaria-
bly, anxious to represent the Rough
Riders. but this proud distinction always
falls to the lot OF the stronger boys. The
smaller and weaker ones are compelled to
impersonate the hated Dons or stay out
of the game.
Poor little Max was compelled to take
the humber part. along with other unfor-
tunate companions. Joseph Dribben. a 10
year-old boy, who doubtless imagined
himself one of Teddy Roosevelt's braves,
after a warning cry, rushed into the lit
tie fellow and knocked him over with
great force. Max. in falling struck the
curbstone and received fatal injuries,
from which he died two days later.
His companion, on seeing him fall. cried
out triumphantly. i've killed the
enemy" but when his friend failed to
rise he was greatly distressed and wept
bitterly over the accident.
There is much pathos in accidents like
these. but the public would feel far more
gratifieG If the larger boy were OCCASION
ally the victim of such mishaps. Children
are too prone to impose upon their young
er companions, and parents should see
that their little ones seek playmates of
their own age. A small boys highest am
bition is to keep pace with some older
chap, though ninety-nine times out of a
hundred he will suffer by reason of his
ambition
