The latest in campaign buttons is a set
of two, designed by John II. Rerick, of
Lagrange, Ind, which are intended to rec
ognize prominent factors in this cam
paign the older men in the Republican
party who voted for Fremont in 1856 and
for Lincoln in 1850. On each one of these
badges is good likeness of President Nc
Kinley, placed side by side with a portrait
of Fremont on enc button and of Lincoln on
the other. The originator of these unique
souvenirs says that it is proper to look we'll
to the first voters, but in doing this the
veteran voters should not be neglected.
1.-THE men who voted right in 1856 and 1860,
and are for the same grand old party this
year," says Mr.. Rerick, should have spe-
cial recognition" These buttons have re-
ceived the Endorsement of the Republican
national committee and are looked upon
with great favor by leaders of the party in
this State.

hers One Hundred and Three.

meeting at Cumberland last night, and c.
c.. Hadley and James Collins delivered
rousing speeches. The Rough Riders Club
was increased in membership from seventy
to 103. Mr.. Hadley in his remarks spoke
for some time regarding Bryan. He said
that Bryan was free silver from the skin
to the core. and the talk of imperialism
was only diversion Matched by Bryan and
the Democratic party in the hopes of di-
verting the minds of the people from free
silver. Mr.. Hadley said free silver had been
Bryan's hobby for years. and it had fur
nished him with means of livelihood.

The Indianapolis Water Company has en-
tered strong opposition to the plans of the
Park Board for a bridge over the canal at
Thirty-eighth street, claiming 1T would ma
terially interfere with the plans of the COM
pany for the installation of sand-fltering
plant TO render the canal water fit for use
in place of that from the wells now used.
1t is claimed that water from the wells will
not be sufficient in two or three years. One
objection of the company is that bridge
would practically make the tow path,
which is now under its control, public
highway.

HELp THE STARRING.

There is now New Haven Committee
of One Hundred to aid the India famine
relief movement. The names of the
committee are printed on another page,
and it will be seen that the committee
is Just what it ought to be. 1t will be-
gin work Immediately, and it's efforts
will undoubtedly have an abundant re-
suit for the good people of New Haven
believe that While charity begins at
home it shouldn't end there when there
is such need as there is in India to-day.
Those who read the report of the meet
ing yesterday at which the Committee
of One Hundred was formed Will see
that the money contributed is sure to be
we'll and judciously used. Give gener-
ously. The need is great and urgent,
and he gives twice who gives quickly.

thing that irrtates the Europeans, the
English included, is our ''shirtsleeves"
diplomacy. "They detest," says the
Spectator with some feeling, 'the Amer
lean habit of using amateurs as ambas-
sailors and ministers, men who use non
professional phraseology and who never
know how to distinguish between feint
and earnest, and press any demands with
a sort of conviction that they must in
the end be gratified. The freshness of
the American agents strikes the old
aristocrats of the European chancel-
leries as boorishness, their lawyer-like
arguments as pettifogging and their
cool persistence as distinctly overbear-
ing"
This is sad, if true. We want to be
liked in Europe, and we are willing to
do anything that is reasonable to be
popular there. But of course we can't
help it if we are smarter and more pros
porous than the Europeans.

4 ERER RERUK ED.

They have queer things in Kansas. One
of them is Professor Oscar Chrisman,
Professor Chrisman told the delegates
to the Mothers Congress at Des Moines
that men never love; that the divine
passion is wholly foreign to them, and
that the woman who thinks she is loved
as she herself loves is all wrong and
wronged. This noble and manly decla-
ration wasn't received exactly as Pro-
fessor Chrisman expected it would be.
1t didn't make him solid with the
mothers, who know something about
mems love- They showed what they
thought of the Professors notion by
Kissing him down.
The mothers were right. Men do love,
and they often love most fervidly, COM
pletely and Loyalty. Moreover, they
show their love in their works. A wo-
man who is really loved by man is
as lucky as a man who is really loved
by woman.

SID IF TRUE.

Few people in this country read the
been surprised to read that we are not
to be allowed to send ships through the
straits to exact the 100000 indemnity
we claim of the Sultan, but will be cam
nonaded by the Turkish batteries with
the hearty appreciation of Russia and
other European powers The Listok's
manifesto gives the London Spectator
welcome text for an article on "the ha-
tired of America by the Continental
powers" the causes alleged being some
what numerous. American agriculture,
to begin with, has affected European
crops falling in price by reason of the
competition of American grain and
meat. Driven from the field of agrioul-
ture, European capitalists went next
into manufacturing, commerce and
shipowning, thinking they would long
be exempt from competition in these
lines. But the United States now be-
gins to compete with Europeans in
these lines also. Add to this that when
the powers seek to obtain exclusive
markets for their goods by acquiring
territory in China and elsewhere the
United States intervenes to claim an
"open door" We interfere with all
their interests. Our aggressiveness to-
ward Spain and acquisition of territory
in the West Indies and in the Far East
likewise produce bad impression, cre-
ating suspicious as to our intentions.
According to the Spectator there is
upon the Continent general fear of
the enormous resources of the people
of the United States" Seeing our pow
err "they cannot conceive" says the
Spectator, that such a mass of power
can be used for any but seiisn ENDS.
Therefore they are genuinely alarmed,
The statesmen of Europe do not exactly
know what course America will pursue
in her new greatness and besides rec
ognizing clearly that she is stronger
than any single state on the Continent
they doubt in their hearts whether, if
all who speak English stood together, it
would be possible for any coalition, even
if it covered all the other civilized
states, to raise UP sufficient obstacles
to American designs The Listok actu-
ally speaks of a combination on the
Continent to resist them" Another

ton and good deal of cognac being the
only remedy used for the bite.
The one insect for which the Cubans
have holesome respect is the centipede
He is called by them "cien pies" hun
