AN AGED OBJECT LESSON.

Among the Geographic dispatches
printed in yesterdays dauies was the
following from the Hoosier town Of
Terre Haute:
Colonel Richard w. Thompson is on his
death bed at the age of 81 Colonel
IhOmpSOn'S friends and physician think
that he might have lived longer had it
not been for excessive smoking.
Tt was related in an eastern journal
not lcng ag, that this distinguished
genuemal had smoked for four score
years.
No wonder he is on his death bed.
cut down. as it were in the prime Of
his young manhood. And to think Of
what the future might hold for him
were st not for this pernicious habit
contracted i'm the days of Napoleon the
Great and followed to an alarming ex-
cess Tor eighty years,
No doubt his friends for three gene
rations warned him. as it was their
duty TO do: but, headstTong. he smoked
en- while they came and withered and
Went and their children's children grew
up to repeat the warning.
OF course. some will argue that If he
had begun smoking ten years earlier
he would have lived ten years longer,
but such teaching is immoral Let
those have the floor who contend that
he would have lived another century if
the life-shortening habit had never
been contracted. That is the only pop
ular moral 10 be drawn from the Terre
Haute dispatch.

CIVILIZED CONDUCT.

Lord Roberts, who has assumed
command of the British forces in South
Africa, is man and a soldier of
broader gauge than most of the Eng
lish generals engaged in the Trans
vaaI war He is far more self-Dos'-
sessed. TesOurceful and masterful than
MethUen; he fights more like a civil
lied war machine than a fanatic. He
is. therefore, more humane and more
deserving than is Butler, who boosted
of what he was going TO do and de
creed thai the Beers should have no
quarter-a savage impulse to which his
opportunities have not given full sway.
When Commandant PretOrius was
wounded and taken prisoner by the
English, Lord Roberts entered into a
correspondence with General Joubert,
said it was a pity to hold such a gallant
soldier. prisoner, and told General JOU-
bert if he would designate where he
would like TO have COmmandant Pre-
torius sent, he would deliver him into
the hands of his friends. Mrs. Pre-
tOrius asked that he be sent to Gen
eral Methuen at Modder river, where
arrangements would be made to take
him from the hands Of the English.
This was a graceful act on the part
of the British commander which viii
have a good effect on his men and be
long remembered by the Beers. More
than that, it stamps him as man ard
a soldier to whom the race as eel as
his nation can point with pride. His
conduct stands OUT in shining contrast
against the records and Utterances Of
his fellow generals in South Africa.

GROsVENOR'S HlLARlTY.

Congressman GrOsvenor may be orig
inai in many ways, but we rather sus-
pect that he copied from some French
yvag Of IT'S when he ridiculed in con-
gress the suggestion Of a friendly ten
der of mediation in South African at
eairs.
Judging from the character Of those
times and the attitude Of men like Tai
leyrand, 1t requires no effort of the
imagination TO see a French royalist
arise and reply to Lafayette's proposal
to aid the American colonies as Mr.
Grosvenor replied to Mr.. Shafroth's
appeal for a recognition of the Trans
Vaal republic:
7 sympathize with these American
bacawoodsmen, and, while 1 Go not
consider them capable of setting up or
maintaining a government of their own,
/ sympathize with any people strug-
Cling for national independence. But
we cannot afford 10 become identified
with a people so ignorant and unde-
serving of enlightened consideration.

thropic friend. Lafayette. Iwould sug-
gest the appointment of committee of
twenty-five at salaries Of 10000 francs
each to roam over the earth to dis
cover what wrongs are being commit
ted and what peasants are being op-
pressed"
And when he sat down who doubts
that the French chamber was con-
vulsed with laughter? 1t was a great
joke that MIR. Grosvenov perpetrated in
the house the other day, but wasn't
it a covert reelection on the holy pur-
pose for which we went to war with
Spain?

MARTYRS TO DUTY.

It isn't every day that the public has
an opportunity to witness the speeta-
Gle of a man whom duty compels to
hguratively sign his own death war
rant or to seek for his exeeutioners.
But the chief of police Of Ogden has
been dong something of this kind for
several days.
The mayor has nominated as the

ENGLISH POLITICS.

Henry Labouchere. editor of the Lon
don Truth, and liberal member Of the
British parliament attempted to ad-
dress his constituency in the town hall
at Northampton the other evening. but
his political opponents were out in
force for the avowed purpose Of break
ing up the meeting.
They succeeded. Clubs were WELD
ed, chairs and stones were thrown, Nj.
LaboUchere was struck on the head and
a number of persons were hurt. Force
and brutality refused TO listen to rea-
son, and the meeting had TO be aban-
doned.
While not as fatal perhaps, politics
seems to be quite as lively il England
as it is in Kentucky.
