CURRENT COMMENT.

The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem)
says: There is one sentence in Mr.. Nc
Kinleys letter, which is suggestive in
sense, perhaps, that was not intended by
the writer. There are now he SAYS,
questions OF the gravest Importance be-
fore the administration and the country,
and their just consideration should not
be prejudiced in the public mind by even
the suspicion of the thought of a third
term Very true. That is a strong argu-
ment against a third term, but it is just
as strong against a second. Every Presi-
dent ought 10 be free to do his duty
without any consideration as to the re-
suits on his prospects for reelection. The
presidential term ought to be heightened
and the President be restricted to one
term"

The New orleans Picayune Dem) says:
THE realization Of the utter uselessness
OF any talk OF arbitration adds to the re-
greet that the Beers should fail to recog-
nize the inevitable and make the best
terms possible with the British govern
ment direct An appeal TO The Hague
tribunal will prove boouess, and may
have the effect Of hardening the hearts
OF the British ministers A direct appeal
10 British generosity would undoubtedly
bring almost any terms short OF indie
penGence. as the British government and
people are heartily tired Of the war.

Mr. Bryans suggestion that Justice

the presidency. though made I'm a vein OF
banter and sarcasm. has some merit
That Justice harlan is a Republican with
Democratic principles does not matter;
the principles count for more than the
man The great objection 20 such a can

NO REST in AMERICA.
Machinery I'm the United States IL
Not Permitted to Last Until
Out of Date.

An experienced railroad man has
the following to say regarding Eng
lish railway methods, says Victor
Smith, in the New York Press: 1T
is singular, to say the least, that the
English railway managers have just
discovered that American locomotives
consume more coal, use more oil and
require more repairs than those OF
their home make. If this Is a fact,
1t could have been demonstrated in
q trial lasting a month. Over here we
wouldn't accept an English locomo-
tive as gift. 1t would be regarded
as an Anticipated monstrosity. / fear
that the British are beginning to feel
q trifle sore over Americas CONNER
cial invasion of all the markets of
the world, and the Midland railway
people are trying to knock us on our
locomotives"
Continuing, the official said: "The
chairman of the Midland made one
impressive statement, namely: We
tend our engines carefully, rest them,
clean them and do everything to
make them last In this country we
rest nothing, not even ourselves.
Bishop Cumberland's familiar saying:
TT is better to wear out than to
rust out, fhas taken hold of us, body,
soul and breeches. the Englishman
rests his hats, shoes, trousers, coats,
horses, carriages and whatever else
he may own, animate or inanimate.
A few advanced Americans have re-
Gently adopted the practice of tree
ing their shoes for a rest, and the
result is longer wear without losing
shape. Some of our locomotives are
never allowed to cool from one years
end to another. Little wonder they
do not live to be classed among the
antiques"

CHAPMAN IS REELECIED.
Chosen for the Eleventh Time NJ
President of the baptist
Young Peoples Union

Chicago, July 27.-John H. Chap.
man was reelected president of the
Baptist Young Peoples union Friday
at the convention in the Coliseum.
Mr.. Chapman, who is a Chicago man,
has been president of the organiza-
ton since it's inception in 1890, and is
known as the father of the move
ment. He is a member of the Taber-
nacle church and prominent as a lay
worker. Mr.. Chapman came from
Canada, but he has been in business
here for nearly 25 years.
Vice presidents elected are w. w.
Gaines representing the south, w. w.
Mann the north and w. w. Week
from Canada. H. w. Reed succeeds
himself as recording secretary, and
H. r. Clissold was appointed treasur-
er after Frank Moody, the retiring
treasurer, declined the office. The
nominating committee was in session
for an hour Friday morning and
made a partial report before adj
journing until after dinner, when the
election was held.
When the convention opened Fri
day morning there were less than
1000 persons present, but before
noon the number had been swelled
to nearly twice that many. Although
the registration cards do not show
an increase in the arrival of visitors
Friday the managers of the gather
ing assert there are 10000 Baptists
in the city. Previous to the opening
of the sessions in the COhseums an
attendance of from $4,000 to 10000
persons was anticipated. The ma
iority of the delegates present are
from the western states. AS rea-
son for the falling off in attendance
the members of the union assert the
weather throughout the country has
been too trying for many of their
fellow workers to attempt n long
railway journey.
At the afternoon session the conven-
ton was addressed by Rev. 6. Camp
bell Morgan, the successor Of Mr.. ID.
/. Moody.
After the session adjourned Thurs
day night the young people continued
the singing of gospel songs on their
way home, and cable trains and trolley
cars in every direction were the scenes
of informal song services.

FARM LABoRERS WIN.
Indiana Melon Growers Are Forced
by the Union TO Accede to
Their Employer Terms.

indianapolis, Ind, July 2s.--The
first contest between the farmers.and
farm laborers' union, which was re-
Gently organized in southern Indiana,
took place Friday and was settled Sat
urday by coneeding the demands of
the strikers. The fact that it was the
first contest of the kind in the state
caused great interest to center in its
result, and all the farmers of the sec
ton were interested parties. The
strike took place on the farm of Paul
Rose, one of the largest Watermelon
growers in the United States, and the
strikers were the men engaged in pick
ing and hauling them TO the railway
station. The price hasusually ranged
from rs cents to one dollar per day, but
the union raised the price to S1.5o. Mr..
Rose refused 10 grant the advance and
the men stopped work. The farm
owner tried to hire men in adjoining
counties, and offered the union price,
then raised it to $1.z5 and finally two
dollars, but could not hire any men
because their employment meant the
disseminating of the Services of the
men who had struck. Seeing that it
was impossible to hire men, the
unions terms were acceded to and the
melon pickers and haulers returned to
work.

BATTLE WITH A TURTLE.
One Weighing One Hundred Pounds
Seizes Restaurant Pa
irons Legs.

Phillip Emmons, of Garwood, had a
battle the other day in William Wus-
sler's restaurant, on Broad street,
Elizabeth, N. j., with a huge sea
snapper turtle weighing 100 pounds.
The turtle was permitted to crawl
around the floor, and Emmons
kicked it on the head. Suddenly the
snapper made dart at its tormentor
and closed it's jaws in his calf. En-
mons howled with pain and danced
around the floor, but was unable to
shake off the turtle. Sticks and
canes were vainly brought into use
by the excited diners, who thought
they could beat off the snapper from
his victim. The blood streamed from
Emmons' leg as he jumped around,
and the turtle hung on with the
tenacity of bulldog.
Proprietor Wussler at last seized
an ice pick and plunged it into the
snapper's neck, which caused it to re-
lax it's grip. Emmons was badly bit
ten and hardly able to stand. He
was taken to a nearby surgeon. who
dressed the wound and sent him to
a hospital. The snapper was de-
capitated shortly after the incident.
Emmons threatens to sue for dam
ages.

THE GALLANTRY OF MAN.
Il IL Always the beautiful Woman
Who Figures I'm the Lead
ing Part.

Nothing ever happens to the ugly
who had just glanced at the newspa-
per notice of social function to
New Orleans Times-Democrat man.
"She must live the most prosaic life
imaginable. The hostess is always a
beautiful woman. The heroine is al
ways beautiful woman, and even in
the sublimated conceptions of poesy,
where facial and physical beauty gem
orally is subordinated, the woman is
always beautiful woman. Evange-
line was beautiful. Lucille was beau
tiful. Lucrece was beautiful-in fact,
all down the line from Ewes day to
this good hour, whenever a woman
staggers to the center of the stage
in any way, she is beautiful woman.
/ have often wondered what part the
ugly woman plays in life. She does
not give any of the big functions. She
is never the president, the secretary,
or anything else in any of the wom-
en- organizations of the day. She is
not my sweetheart, nor yours, nor the
wife of the other fellow. These are
all beautiful women. Even in the
more violent walks of life the ugly
woman plays no part. She is never
the subject of the designing villain,
and the measliest pickpocket in the
world would not honor her by snatch
ing a purse from her. The fiendish
fellow who delights in the mutilation
of human forms would never think of
picking out an ugly woman for a sub
ject. He would rather dash vitriol
or something equally destructive into
the face of really beautiful woman.
He would want a victim who was be-
wilderingly beautiful, stupendously
stunning and all that sort of thing.
These reflections have convinced me
that nothing ever happens to the
ugly woman, and she must indeed live
very dull and uninteresting life.
But really have another solution of
the matter. l do not know the ugly
lady, and while 1 have made no spe
cial effort to peer into her place of
hiding and cannot say for certain
whether she is there or not, yet I
am inclined to believe that there are
no ugly women. They are all beauti-
full, and l guess this is why nothing
is ever put down as happening to the
ugly woman"

PROUDLY RIDES WAVES.
The BattIeship Maine Successfully
Launched ut Cramps
Ship Yard.

Philadelphia, July 29.-The battle
ship Maine, designed to be bigger,
stronger and faster than her namesake,
whose shapeless mass still lies in the
harbor of Havana, was successfully
launched from the yards of the
william Cramp Ship and Engine
Building company Saturday. One of
the largest crowds that has ever seen
a warship leave the ways at Cramps
yards was on hand and patriotism ran
wild as the ship left her cradle.
Kensington, wherein the ship locat-
ed, took holiday and attended the
launch. Thousands of persons from
other parts of the city were on hand
and as the yards were thrown open to
the public every vantage point in the
confines of the place swarmed with
humanity. The weather was beautiful.
The state of Maine was officially rep
resented by Gov. Hill and members of
his staff. From Washington came Rear
Admirals Bradford, Melville and Walk
er, Lieut.-Commander Bailey, Capt.
Leary, former governor of Guam, and
a number of bureau chiefs of the navy
department.
President Mckinley, Secretary of the
Navy Long, Admiral Dewey. Capt. Sigs-
bee and other naval dignitaries who
received invitations were unable to at
tend.
The ceremony of christening the ship
was performed by Miss Mary Preble
Anderson, of Portland Me-, descend
ant Of the Preble family that has added
fame to the naval honors of the coun-
try.
All was in readiness as Miss Ander-
son stepped upon the stand erected at
the bow Of the hull. As the last timber
that held the ship was sawed in twain
and the vessel began to move, Miss An
eerson struck the bow of the Maine a
blow with the bottle of champagne
and formally christened her. As the
vessel sic of the ways a great shout
went up and every steam craft IN the
vicinity began the footing of whistles.
The Maine Is 50 per cent. finished.
Her keel was laid in April, 1899, and the
ship will be ready for transfer to the
government in IS months or two years
time.
