How Sweet the Roses!

Who would believe they could deceive
Fair maidens, meek and lowly!
In beauty and in grace they seem
Blush-roses, pure and holy
Man counts grief who his belief
In woman's faith reposes;
He gets thorn-prick now and then
But oh! how sweet the roses!

BRAVERY OF PRIVATE JONES,
Saved From Destruction an Ambu-
lance Carrying Insane SOldieru

SdNeO from De0tfuctlOn an Ambu.
lance Carrying Insane Soldiers.
Private William r. Jones of the hospital
corps of the army called at the War De-
partment today and was personally COM
mended by Major ]. V. r. Hoff Of the sur
geon generals office for the energy and
bravery displayed by him in this city a few
days ago.
Jones was in charge of six insane soldiers
who were being taken in an ambulance
from the Baltimore and Ohio station to the
Government Hospital for the Insane. When
the vehicle reached the corner Of 1st and B
streets the horses took fright and getting
beyond the control of the driver dashed
madly over the plaza on the east front Of
the Capitol. Jones jumped out Of the am
bulance and running to the head of the
team caught the bit of the of horse and
By great strength and dexterity threw the
struggling animals to the ground. This
closed their wild fight and saved the occu-
pants Of the vehicle from almost certain
death, as the horses were about to turn
down the steep hill of the Capitol grounds
The horses were badly cut, and the pole
OF the wagon broken. but fortunately none
of the occupants was injured.
Private Jones has only recently returned
from service in the Philippines, and is I'M
der orders to go to the artillery post at
Fort Monroe. He has made application to
be assigned to duty at Fort McHenry, Md.
near where his parents reside. and it is ex-
pected his application will be granted.

sonal conduct on that occasion, that there
was no such concerted action of the vessels
engaged as to indicate their control by any
one person. All evidently strove to do their
utmost, and thus was accomplished one Of
the grandest naval victories ever won.
"Of course the vessels stood in toward the
harbor entrance when it was discovered
that the enemys vessels We're making a
sortie. Such was not only their prescribed
duty, but their natural and proper course
in such circumstances. In like manner,
when the Spanish fleet stood westward, it
was the duty of our vessels to follow,
whether or not the signal Follow flag was
made
Discussing the Brooklyn's loop Captain
Lemly expressed the opinion, based upon
evidence, that in turning to starboard when
all the other American vessels turned to
port the Brooklyn endangered not only the
Texas, but other vessels as well. 1t was,
he said, closely established that the Texas
stopped and that she reversed one If hot
both of her engines The responsibility for
this move. he argued, rested entirely upon
Commodore Schley, and it could not be
delegated to any one by him as squadron
commander. Captain Cooks evidence on
this point seems as a WHOLE he said TO
indicate that he considered himself IT, a
naval duel, and initiated the turn to the
starboard without so much as asking the
commodore, within few feet of him.
whether he approved a step that involved
the squadron movements. This confirms
the impression upon which I have already
enlarged, that the Ddttle or Santiago was
a captains fight.otA best the loop was a
tremendous risk and, / submit without ade-
quate justification" Whatever distance
the Brooklyn ran in making this turn he
contended that she did turn from, instead
of toward, the enemy. SIT would SEEM" he
said that she should have adopted the
other course If not f0r9the purpose of plac-
ing herself neareraC erSera's ships at least
in order to escape any possibility of en-
dangering or delaying the other vessels Of
our squadron. For had she been more i'm
periled individually by starboarding for
helm, no injury ITO her from the enemy
could have equaled the dire results of two
United States ships virtually committing
suicide 1t is well known that unexpected
injury from friends is far more demoraliz-
ing in action than from the enemy, ALWAYS
to be expected. And think of the effect
upon the enemy of a turn with starboard
helm, which appears to have been disre-
garded. Taking the distance at the time
the turn was begun at the lowest figure
given, say 1000 yards, the Brooklyn would
not have the entire tactical diameter
toward the enemy II she had turned to port.
particularly If she had backed the port en-

The Standard Oil trust seems de-
termined that the world should not
enjoy the benefits of the recent great
oil discoveries in Beaumont county,
Texas. Port Arthur is the nearest
deep water port to the Beaumont oil
field, and the trust has not only pur-
chased the railroad terminals, wharves
and shipping facilities at that point.
but has also bought 10000 acres of
surrounding land. This practically
assures to it the control of every bar
rel of petroleum taken from the Beau
mont field, and will protect it and the
coal trust as well, for the Texas oil is
of the fuel order, and in the absence
of artificial restrictions its use for fuel
would be so extensive as to lessen the
demand for and the price of coal.

President Pritchett, of the Massachu-

that institution. The gift in question,
he said. commended itself most heart
lily to his own judgment; in fact, few
wiser dispositions of money seemed to
him to be possible. In a word, the
income of the bequest was to be used
in increasing the presidents salary.
DIR. Pritchett announced that he
would profit by the endowment to the
extent of about $l5 a year.

WILL REPUBLICANS STEAL ISSUE:
New York World.
So far as can now be seen the 'par-
amount issue" in the congressional
elections next year will be the repeal
of tariff protection to trusts or other
monopolies that prove they no longer
need it by invading foreign markets
and selling their products there at
lower prices than they demand here.
The democrats have always opposed
a tariff for bounties, and in their
latest national platform they said
Tariff laws should be amended by
putting the products of trusts upon
under the plea of protection"
But Representative Babcock, of
Wisconsin, a republican member OF
the ways and means committee, who
introduced a bill at the last session to
start this reform, reports strong
sentiment in its favor from among re-
publicans in the west. 1.-The only
opposition l have encountered, he
says, ''comes from class of people
who look upon the tariff with the rev.
erence to be paid Chinese joss-to
be worshipped but not touched" And
he declares:
The question will be brought
squarely TO the republican party in
the next campaign, Why do you per-
nit tariff TO remain on articles
which can be produced here cheaper
than elsewhere? What answer will
be made to that proposition"
This is a very pertinent question;
but aside from the ENHANCEMENT and
utilization of the republican managers
with the trust magnates, the politi-
cians of that party generally take the
attitude described by Mr.. Babcock.
They do not dare touch one stone in
the sacred tariff wall for fear the
whole structure will tumble. The
party in power could flank the demo-
Gratis very effectively by favoring this
reform, but it is doubtful if it has the
freedom and audacity to do it.

EDITOR RosEwATER, of the Omaha

statement that William j. Bryan
will be a candidate for governor of
Nebraska. The interview is as fol-
lows: William J. Bryan, in my
opinion, will be candidate FOR gov
ernor of Nebraska next year. Mr..
Bryan still expects a wide influence
in the state, and if he receives the
gubernatorial nomination, he will be
a very hard man to beat. If elected
governor he will hope to secure
democratic legislature, in which event,
he will seek an election to the United
States senate to succeed Gov. DIETRICH,
