TRIBUTE FROM AN OPPONENT,
WHAT THE LOUISVILLE CoURIER-JoUR-
NAL" SAYS OF MKINLEY AND

Louisville. KY. June % CspeciaD.-"The
Courier-JournaIs" editorial the Republican
ticket comes out with the candid avowal that
1t is the strongest that could be named. 1t is
unsparing in its commentator OF Roosevelt
and is not backward in its praise of Mckinley.
It says;
Mr.. Mckinley is not ideal leader but he is an
ideal follower He has not the aggressive force;
the granite fir-nness which enable a to bend
rather than make OF himself its agent. But he Is
intelligent, honest and patriotic He tries TO do

But Roosevelt's strength will be greater
among the young men. among the full-blooded
Americans Of action and progress. who believe in
fighting when fighting is necessary. and who how

past look forward TO its future even more proudly.
Truly. the Republicans are fortunate in having

Editor Tried 1t on the Irish ma n.

The editor is fond of joke and has
the good sense to appreciate one at
his own expense. A few weeks ago he
was walking with friend, and at the
corner of busy thoroughfare he saw
dilapidated-looking Hibernian,
standing at the opposite corner, gaz-
ing listlessly into vacancy. Watch
me surprise this old fellow" said he
to his friend. Look right into his
face and see if it won't be a study"
A second later they were abreast Of
the son of Erin, and the editor pulled
out silver coin, and said, as he thrust
it into the mans hand, Here's that
half crown l owe you; now, don't go
round any more telling people that 1
don't pay my debts" For a second the
mans face was a study. He was
amazed at the unlooked-for kindness,
and then, as its purport dawned on
him, he raised his hat and said, "Heav-
en- bless yer 'onner! III never say an
other word agin We. But" and his
eyes twinkled merrily, "are we sure it
wasn't a crown yeZ owed me?' The
friend roared: ooh, pay the man in
full; don't try to beat him out of a
paltry half crown" The Irishman got
his crown, but the editor no longer
pays his debts at sight now.

Seyers Hondurian Govern ent.

People in the Bay islands--Ruatan,
Utila and Ronacca Of the West Indies
have been subjected to very harsh
treatment at the hands OF the govern
ment OF Honduras. to which they were
ceded by Great Britain In 1859. When
the cession was made the Hondurlan
authorities promised to respect tho
autonomy OF the islands. and not to
interfere in any way with the English
local laws and statutes. English was
to be the official Language and the Bay
islanders were to govern themselves,
subject only to the suzerainty of Hon
duras. During the last few years the
Hondurian officials have been grad
ually breaking their part Of the COM
pact Spanish laws and the Spanish
language have been introduced into
the courts. British grants OF land
have not been recognized by the au'.
and British-born Bay island
ers have been imprisoned and op-
pressed at the caprice Of the officials.
In effect the Bay islanders have been
made outlanders in their own coun-
try. They stood 1t pretty quietly fo-
years, but now the last straw has
broken the camel's back. The Hon
DURAN government has passed law
them liable to CONSUMPTION
for military service in the republic, in
fiat defiance OF all treaty obligations
and presidential pledges. The Bay is,
landers have petitioned Lord Salisbury
to see justice done them. Great Brit
ain will probably soon send a warshin
to bring Honduras to its senses. II
she declines to interfere, however, the
Bay islanders, who number about A.
900 sturdy former Britishers are in
the mood to win their rights by force
of arms, in which case the couple OF
hundred Spaniards in the islands
would have rough time. II the
islanders really revolt in earnest it
is doubtful whether Honduras could
subdue them.

FRENCH VITALITY.

Wonderful Nation. .

One of the Wonderful Things About This
Wonderful Nation.
The position of France in the world
is unique. England, Germany, and
America as great competing industrial
producers, possess nothing which is
unique to the one or the other, says
the Fortnightly Review. But to the
French we owe practically everything
that adorns and graces existence. Their
creative faculty, their inexhaustible re-
sources in pleasing the eye, the ear, tho
taste. and the intelligence, give to life
nearly all the charms it possesses
Their wonderful metropolis, instinct
with everything that an artistic i'm.
agination has been able to devise in
architecture and in street scenery tG
make it beautiful; their shops, which
are a pleasure and lesson in the fine
arts; their theaters, in which the his
trionic art has reached the highes;
point of development ever attained;
their brilliant schools of painting
sculpture, music, literature, philosophy
science, open to all the world, are few
of the things that make France unique
upon earth as an intellectual recreation
ground for humanity. There are PEG
pie, nevertheless, who call France on,
of the decaying nations. Yet wha
other country can show a greater ar.
ray of more varied talent or more en-
during work in the things of beauty
which are joy forever? France de.
caying nation? France, who, after sht
was drained, by the revocation of thu
edict of Nantes, Of what appeared to ba
the flower of her people, produced the
glorious eighteenth century; who, after
the massacres of the terror, burst into
the power and magnificence of the EN-
pire; who, after the wars of Napoleon
gave us a great literary and scientific
revival after the revolution of 1913,
the artistic and intellectual brilliance
of the second empire; and who, in spite
of the crushing defeat of 1870, retained
that pre-eminence! If any nation pos
sesses vitality it is surely France, and
the world may thank Providence that
owing to her, it seems likely to escape
from the decadence which usually fol.
lows self-absorbed material prosperity

COAL FAMIN Z


IN FRANCE AHords market Tor hmori-
can Products.
The coal famine imminent In France
affords an opportunity for American
coal of all grades In these markets.
The coal famine that has existed in
France and a large part OF Europe dur
Ing the present winter and the conse-
quent high price OF all kinds of fuel
have called very general attention to
the coal supply OF the world. The sit
uatIon Is supposed to be due to the
war in the Transvaal and the strikes
in the French coal districts. II could
also be attributed to the unexampled
activity In the channels of manufac-
ture, which one and all rest upon coal
as their foundation and have been
steadily increasing their consumption
for the last decade. The governments
of several European nations have been
asked to take prompt action In the d.
rection OF protecting their mines. The
annual coal output of France Is about
two-thirds OF the consumption. Tho
railroads In France consume annually
about 100000 tons; the metallurglcal
establishments, 100000 tons; the
mining industry, 100000 tons-over
half the output. II Is asserted. but not
authoritatively, that France can great
ly augment her output of coal The
more general opinion is that the coun-
try will have to look for her coal sup
ply to the United States and other
lands, where there are rich mines yet
untouched.

OUR SOLDIERS LOOK ALIKE.
Fair Haired saxon Typo Prevails In the
Army.

Army.
The Saxon type prevails throughout
our active fighting forces; at least. it
so appears to the mere eye-observer,
whatever the records may show. A
newspaper correspondent, now in Bos-
ton, called my attention to this at San
Fernando, in the interior of Luzon, and
had myself noticed and spoken of 1t.
Everywhere the pale blue or gray eye.
everywhere the fair skin, everywhere
the tawny hair and beard. In Cebu,
Panay, Negros, and Sulu the same
phenomenon, writes Senator Bever.
idge. In many instances the boards
have been allowed to grow, and OBJ.
servances were startlingly struck with
the resemblance which these fierce
looking bearded men-boys in years
bore to the old pictures in our primary
school histories of twenty-five years
ago, and OF the descriptions which ac-
companied them. The Saxon type Is as
conspicuous in the Philippines as the
flag itself or course, the dark hair
and eye are there, too. Three Of the
most daring and enduring soldiers I
met were of that type, but the general
impression Is distinctly fairness IN
hair and lightness in eye. This calls
to mind the homogeneity OF the people
OF the republic. One might well expect
the same type in the men from the
Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas: but
he who has not followed chronological
currents In America would have ex-
pected that the southern troops would
have been quite a different type. And
yet, in the Tennessee troops in Iloilo
was found precisely the same type as
In the Dakota troops at San Fernando.
| You might have said that they all
came from the same section. the same
state, the same county, almost the
same family. IL was an inspiring
thought; the American people are in
deed one people. The boys from Ten
nessee look like the brothers OF the
boys from Nebraska or Montana. The
boys from Oregon and Washington
look like the brothers of the boys from
Pennsylvania. The boys from Cali
fornia look like the brothers OF the
boys from Minnesota. And brothers
they are-brothers OF the blood, broth
ers OF the flag, brothers OF battle.
brothers OF destiny. How mad must
be the man who dares believe that by
any temporary emergency these broth
ers can ever be divided against them

Destitute Georgians In Cuba.

A colony OF 1000 Americans went
from Georgia to a place called La
Gloria in Cuba. and there is already
much distress among them. They have
been compelled to go to the planta,
tons in the interior and work for
whatever wages were offered them.
The colonists' titles are said to be of
doubtful value, and the United States
government is asked to furnish trans
portation back to this country for the
destitute.

Ours Not the Only World.

Backed up by the teachings OF your
Bible, just look through the telescope
some bright night and see how many
worlds there are and reflect that all
you have seen, compared with the
number of worlds in existence, are less
than the fingers of your right hand as
compared with all the fingers of the
human race How foolish, then, for us
to think that ours is the only world
fit for us to stay in. | think that all
the stars are inhabited and by beings
like the human race in feelings and
sentiments, and the differences in
lung respiration and heart beat and
physical conformation, their physical
conformation fit for the climate of
their world and our physical confor-
nation fit for the climate OF our.
world SO we shall feel at home in
any OF the stellar neighborhoods, our
physical limitations having ceased.
One of our first realizations in get
that in this world we were very much
pent up and had cramped apartments
and were kept on the limits. The most
even of our small world, Is water, and
the water says to the human race.
Don't come here or you will drown"
A few thousand feet up the atmos-
phere is uninhabitable, and the atmos-
phere says to the human race, Don't
come up here or you cannot breathe"
A few miles down the earth is fur

come here or you will burn" The

After ALL" said the thoughtful man,
the perpetuation of the human race
is founded on falsehood." How SOP

would courtship be without it?" asked
the thoughtful man, and instantly to

her." that 'he couldn't live without
her." and that 'he fairly worshiped her

CHAPTER VII.

The wedding was over. 1t had been
a very simple, very quiet affair. In
deed, it had quite taken the little COM
munity of the garrison station-by sur
prise, for Don's disposition was so nat
urally reserved. He had spoken little
of his engagement, and only a few
brother officers and a small number
of Lilies personal friends were in the
secret.
The bridegroom had obtained long
leave" and with great reluctance had
at last yielded to Lilies appeal TO
spend the honeymoon in England.
He had given in on the one stipula-
ton that Gadie Ha' should not be in
