The Marine Corps.

A recruiting station has been opened
In this city for the marine corps Of the
navy. and an opportunity Is thus af-
foried for those young men who desire
II to enter readily this branch of the
public service. Under present condi-
lions the marine corps offers a better
prospect for a career than at any other
time in the history Of the country. AS
a result Of the war with Spain the corps
has been largely increased in numbers.
while higher rank has been given to the
senior officers. In addition. n change
has been made in the law regulating
the appointment of commissioned off,
GERS in that branch of the service. For
many years prior to the breaking out
of the war with Spain appointment into
the commissioned list of the marine
corps was confined to the graduates Of
the naval academy, for whom there
were no vacancies in the line of the
service. Under the present law original
appointment as second lieutenant can be
made from civil life and from among
the enlisted men in the corps as well.
The demand for line officers will abb
sorb' all of the graduates of the naval
academy for many years to come. IN
fact. the vacancies are SO many and the
demand for officers in the line Is so
great that the present supply of gradu-
ates from the naval academy is serious
ly inadequate. 1t will be necessary to
provide for a large number of additional
appointees to that school to officer the
new ships, and 1t may become necessary
to make some provision. even in the
line of the service. for appointments
from civil life.
However that may be. II Is quite sure
that there viii be no available supply
for many years TO come of naval acad-
constantly occurring vacancies among
the commissioned officers Of the marine
corps. There Is now not second lieu
tenant on the list who is a graduate Of
the naval academy: and some of the
first lieutenants and one captain were
all appointed from civil life or from the
ranks Of the enlisted men since the war
with Spain broke out This shows how
rapid promotion has been in the corps.
Not as many Of the commissioned Of
ficers have come from the ranks as
would have been the case had there
been more available material from
which TO draw. Naturally the giving
out of commissions must be confined 70
men OF fairly good education. OF cred
liable appearance and soIdierly capac-
ity The more men OF this class there
are In the enlisted ranks, the more COM
missions will be distributed among
them, and the fewer VIII go to men from
civil life. II is quite likely that con-
gress may take steps to improve the
ing the imperative provision that all
vacancies as second lieutenant be filed.
az far as possible. from the ranks, Of
the qualified noncommissioned officers
Of the marine corps who have passed
prescribed and competitive examination.
II this is done. the marine corps will
offer an attractive career to ambitious
young men with taste for military or

SUNNY WOMEN,

Who has not known the woman whose
disposition is described by that one word
"sunny?" There's always laugh lurk-
ing on her lips. Her cheeks are ever
ready to dimple in smiles. Her house
hold influence is as Frightening and
stimulating as the sunshine. Nothing
can be crueler than to have this sunshine
blotted out by disease. But this is a
common cruelty. The young wife who
was the sunshine of the home becomes
its shadow Every young wife should
know the value of Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription i'll the protection and pres
ervation of the health. 1t promotes
regularity, dries the drains which enfee-
bic body and mind, and cures infamma-
ton, liberation and female weakness.
1t nourishes the nervous system and
gives to the body the balance and buoy
ancy of perfect health. 1t is a strictly
temperance medicine.

Rough on Our Prof. Beecher of Yale

|
Modern has been studying the
Civilization. Moqui Indians of Ari-
zona this past summer. He spent
several months among them and
what he has to say Of them it would
seem that modern civilization would
not measure favOrablv with the
standard of the morals of these re-
markable people. Prof. Beecher
says:
"They are entirely self-support
ing. They are absolutely moral; in
fact, their moral standard is as
high as that of any religious com
munity in the United States. They
have lived there for thousands of
years, and l sincerely hope they will
never be contaminated by white ci-
vilization. 1t would only succeed in
reducing them to low moral stand
ard, and they would become lazy
and criminal. They know nothing
of alcoholic liquors, and are strictly
temperate and very thrifty. Their
religion is a very complicated one,
but it is best suited to their modes
of living. Should civilization at
tack them, they would undoubtedly
become subjects for missionaries,
and after their conversion would
come to a deplorable state.'

Anent the talk about reorganiz-
ing the Democratic party and leav-
ing Mr.. Bryan out of further consi-
deration, the following from the
Dubuque (Iowa) Telegraph, will
strike many Democrats as about
right: "The attempt to turn Demo-
cratic sentiment against Mr.. Bryan
because of his second defeat is a
failure. The hearts of the people
are with him, and will remain with
him because Of his great intellect
and soul, and during the coming
year as during the past four he will
be the one greatest in his party"

Abraham Lincoln believed in the
declaration of independence, and
the declaration Of independence,
has been good for all the people Of
all parties until the last two years.
When Lincoln was alive he appeal
ed to the people to stand by the
declaration of independence. He
told them to sacrifice everything
else but to keep that. He even
said that he would be willing to
give up his own life il necessary to
preserve that document. / make
to you to-day the appeal that he
made then-or, rather, l invoke his
name and his words for your con-
sideration.
Let us stand by the declaration
of independence. 1t was written
by Thomas jefferson, and to it's
maintenance he and his copatriots
pledged their lives, their fortunes
and their sacred honor. But in o
higher and better sense the de-
claration of independence was not
the work Of human hands; it was
the bow of promise which the sun
light of truth, shining through
tears, cast against the clouds. 1t
was the assurance given to the
world that the food of despotism
had reached its height and was re-
ceding. God grant the food may
never rise again. VIM. j. Bryan.

LAYING SEIGE TO THE SOUTH.

A special correspondent of the
Chicago Record, under date Of No
vember 9, Washington, ID. c., tel
egraphed to that paper as follows:
"Several distinguished republi-
cans met at the white house yester-
day, and while discussing the out
come of the recent campaign the
suggestion was made by prominent
southerner, who holds a high posi-
ton under the present administra-
tion, that the time is ripe for some
valuable missionary work in behalf
of the republican party in the south.
The proposition was advanced that
President Mckinley now has
golden opportunity to build up a
white mans republican party in the
south if he will 60 about it in the
right way, 1t was asserted that in
many Of the southern states there
are men who have become interested
in commercial and business enter.
prises who are progressive as well
as ambitious to keep up with the in
dustrial procession. For the last
four years the anti-Bryan demo-
Gratis Of the south have been in
close communication with members
of the republican party, and they
have discovered that lines Of demar-
cation between them are not insur-
mountable, nor is the association
uncongenial. In Maryland, West
Virginia and Kentucky there are
several thousand influential busi-
ness men who were forced to oppose
Organism four years ago who may
never return to the democratic
party. In North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Ten
nessee and Florida there are many
successful business men who at
heart sympathize with republican
ideas and principles, and it is said
would cheerfully affiliate with that
party il the race question could be
made less prominent. j"
