A NameIess Hero

There are countless heroes who live
and die.
or whom we have never heard;
For the great, big, brawling world goes
by,
With hardly a look or word
And one Of the bravest and best OF all
OF whom the list can boast,
Is the man who falls on dutys call,
The man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with man
hoods bloom.
And the pathway OF life looks bright
He is brought in a moment to face the
gloom
Surrounding the final night.
He bu1yantly sails DER a sunlit sea,
And rs dashed on an unseen coast
Till the ship goes down at the helm
stands he
The man who dies ait his post.
Who follows the glorious tide Of war
And falls in THE midst OF fight,
He knows that honor will hover DER
And cover his name with light;
But he who passes unsung, unknown,
ne nedIh no dDplduulnb nOSLf
He goes in the dark to his fate, alone,
The man who dies at his post
Who bears with disease while death
draws near.
Who faces his fate each day.
Yet strives TO help and comfort and
cheer
His comrade along the way;
Who follows his work while he yet
may do,
And smiles when he suffers most,
10 seems to me is a hero true
The man who dies at his post.
There are plenty to laud and crown
with bays
The hero who fails ip strife,
But few who offer a word OF praise
To the crownless hero OF life.
He does his duty and makes no claim;
And tonight i propose toast
To the silent martyr unknown to
fame
The man who dies at his post.

PICKLE CROP FALLS SHORT
AND HIGH PRICES WILL PREV,

Bad news comes regarding the pickle
crop. 1t is about forty per cent below
the normal yield this year, and the
heart of the school girl is heavy in con
sequence. Just what the affinity behind
the school girl and the pickle is one of
the mysteries, and a mystery it is like
iy tc remain as long as school girls and
pickles inhabit the earth.
But there are others who are ad-
herents of the pickles, though if the
truth were known, they probably are
those who have passed from the
chrysalis state of school girlhood to
bellehood and, possibly, matronhood.
No matter how that may be, pickles are
a boon sometimes to the hOusekeeper,
and to a certain set who are not house
keepers, but hotel and restaurant keep
ers. II is upon the latter class, in par
ticular, that the news of the failure OF
the pickle crop will come like the l1nell
of doom, OF something OF that sort
for where is There one among us who
cannot remember seeing his acquaint-
ances helping themselves with a lib
eral hand and an air of utter sang froid
to the pickles. and incidentally the
crackers placed upon the tables by the
thoughtful host.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
they're But Human


From the Delawarean.
The testimony submitted before the
Schley Court OF Inquiry during the
week has been of a nature to shatter
considerably the time honored fiction
regarding the superior truthfulness
and superlative regard for honor and
principle existing among naval and
army officers The evidence shows
that petty jealousies creep in even
among warriors brave and true. and
that no matter how high a man may
rise in the service he carries the hui
man element with him. The excite
ment incident to the heat of battle
may have had considerable to do with
the miX-up of memories shown by dis
dnguished officers VINO have been upon
the witness stand. but certain little
pecadilloes have cropped out that can
not be palliated thus. For instance i,
was testified by the commanders oil
several vessels that matters were pur-
posely omitted from their "Iogs" in
order that certain happenings might
be concealed. and even the map drawn
purposely for the courts use ant
signed by naval officers is admitted by
the signers to be faulty. Gold lace ant
military stripes do not always lift mer
above the human line.

WILL RESORT TO INCUBATION
TO KEEP UP OYSTER SIP

Crews OF oyster boats arriving in this
city say that the oyster is becoming
'scarcer each succeeding year This is
particularly true, they say, OF the BIZ
valve from the Chesapeake bay, but as
few vessels from those waters haVe
come here this season, the rapidity
with which the luscious bivalve is dy-
ing out in the abOve-named Section Is
not widely known.
During the past few seasons a small
insect which has infested the waters ot
the chesapeake and its tributaries has
done much to kill tine oyster family.
The insect, for want of a better name,
is called by oystermen the oyster
bug" 1t is almost invisible to the
naked eye but its smallness is counter
balanced by its destructiveness. The
creature bOres through the shell Of
the bivalye, sometimes in many places,
causing the oyster to- die, and many
thousands have been thrown away all
ready this season.
Science, however is about to take a
hand in preventing the determination
OF THE oyster in Chesapeake waters,
even if the laws do not, and eminent
professors will soon begin a series ofex-
periments with a view to prOpagating
and increasing the present depleted
stock.
Chicken incubators have become an
old story but oyster incubators are
certainly something new, and the fact
that even the oyster beds of the
which, furnish twice as
many osysters as all foreign countries
combined are becoming alarmingly
depleted, renders the idea of a new
means Of restoration exceedingly in
teresting.
With this aim. Professor john A.
Rider. of Johns Hopkins University.
and other scientists, have been maxi
ing some remarkable experiments.
1t is said THAT the method employed is
so simple that anyone, after instruc-
tions from an expert, may practice it
for himself, which may or may not
mean am unlimited supply of THE BIZ
valve, according to whether or not the
amateur makes a success OF his attempt
at oyster incubating.

Steamboat Inspection
From the WashingLon star.

AS a result OF the explosion of a
steamboats, boiler on the Delaware
river, a few weeks ago, disclosure has
been made by a cOrOncr's jury which
should be of value in leading to a re-
form of the boiler inspection service.
ID was shown by the evidence that ser
iOus defects in the boiler were wholly
overlooked by the Governments agents
when they paid their formal visit to
the craft in the ordinary routine of
their work. In the judgment of the ex-
perts summoned little doubt could be
entertained that the explosion, which
cost many lives, was directly due TO
this defect So bad was the condition
of the boiler that one OF the engineers
who was killed by THE disaster. had ex-
pressed his fears for the safety of the
boat. and had even predicted the fatal

TARIrr AND RECIPROCITY

The speech OF President Mckinley at
Buffalo the day before the tragedy
which ended his life. struck a note that
met with almost universal response.
Republicans greeted 1t as an express
sion OF one who had fully grasped the
new conditions incident to the expan-
sion Of our commerce and influence,
and as the elaboration OF doctrine
which had its first great champion in
the revered Blaine The Democratic
press hailed II as an utterance in the
direction of free trade, and there was
scarcely a note Of dissent anywhere
The tragedy following Immediately
caused all attention to be centered on
this the Presidents last public utter
ance. and II was generally conceded
that the address was not only able but
that it contained the suggestion of oar
true policy. Upon taking the oath Of
office, President Roosevelt declared
1t his purpose TO carry out the policy
of his predecessor, and Vt is known that
ne has always been an advocate Of the
doctrine of reciprocity.
In view of these facts, It is certain
that the next message to Congress will
contain suggestions extending the
scope of that policy, and 1t is pracu-
cally certain that that body will give
such suggestions favorable attention.
There is no indication. however that
existing tariff schedules will be ma
cerially altered. but, in all probability.
Inequalities wil1 be regulated by estab-
fishing reciprocal relations with Those
countries. where the benefit would be
mutual.
To pursue This line OF policy with all
countries, of course, would be nee
trade, and in many instances this
would be highly injurious. The policy
of the Administration will be in har
mony with the Republican doctrine
that we reserve the right TO decide the
particular countries with which reclp-
r0cal trade relations would be desir-
able from our standpoint. and do not
Let down the bars to all comers.
lt has been twenty-six years since
the policy OF reciprocity was establish
ed, and IL was under a Republican Ad
ministration. and Senate of the same
complexion. that II was inaugurated.
The doctrine was applied to the Ha-
Waiian Islands, and IL established COM
mercial relations that paved the way
for annexation. The doctrine was fur
ther extended under the guidance of
Secretary Blaine, and was intended by
aim to apply largely TO our relations
with other American nations. 1t existed
as a part OF the doctrine Of the Me
Kinley tariff, which was so vehement.
ly denounced by the Democratic press
vet the two policies were found to be
in perfect harmony.
Reciprocity, then, is a Republican
doctrine, originated and carried into
successful operation by that party. II
is fitting that the same party should be
entrusted with it's extension, and nc
commercial interest fears the result
With tariff and general commercial
policies, Democracy has been a huge
failure and 1t is well that the present
needs find the party Of progress il
power.
