rALMAGE DEAD

In the death Of the Rev. II. De Witt
Talmage the country loses a most re-
markable man. Theologians have de-
clared that his discourses lacked a
profound knowledge of their subject,
Logicians have sneered at his spectac-
ular appeals. but the hold that he had
and retained on the American people
must be accounted for. For many years
ne was exceedingly popular as a
preacher and a lecturer. and during a
long period his syndicated sermons
have been feature of half the weekly
papers in the country.
DR.. Talmage created no new philos-
oTlhy; ne added nothing to our knOwl-
edge of theology He was not strong
ly orthodox, yet found his exposition
OF the Bible along generally accepted
lines. His strength, regarded from the
standpoint OF delivery, lay in his vivid
picturing. A Biblical scene was pre-
sented with a vividness that 1t seemed
a contemporary occurrence in which
the characters were given a touch Of
reality that, made them appear as be.
ing of the present. His themes were
as old as humanity. and the funda
mental passions and emotions Of men
in the primal state, and without com
1plexity were the strings played upon.
He was an optimist, too, and did no
hesitate to bring a smile to the face
of his hearers. He pictured homel,
things-the joys and SORROWS Of tn
masses. while ever holding before thei
2 eyes the ideal OF spiritual elevation an
g the assurance Of immortality. Othe

A report comes from Washington tc
the effect that General Miles will soon
be retired. This will be under the law
since he has reached the age limit un-
der which the President may relieve
him Of his duties. 1t is generally un-
derstood. however, that the immediate
retirement is due to certain friction
which has existed for years between
General Miles and the Government. No
one doubts his bravery, but to say the
least. he has been indiscreet. The
President and the Secretary OF War
are charged with grave responsible
ties; they may make mistakes, but it
is against the good of the service to
keep nagging them, and it is especially
questionable on the part Of the general
Of the army.

PENINSULA PRESS
The Case S tated

From the Milford News and Advertiser.
The Republicans of the state are in
a peculiar position and one that cannot
be we'll understood by the people of any
other State in the Union; for, though
in almost every State there have been
splits in the parties Of the State and
serious wrangling over petty politics,
yet in no other State in the United
States has the situation been just what
II is here. The party is separated into
two factions by but the one reason
that man has come into the State for
the avOwed purpose of buying his way
into the United States Senate. That
is all there is in the matter. No
amount Of subterfuges, Ifs" "ands'
or butts" changes the aspects OF the
case.
His friends say that he should be
sent to the Senate. Why? Because
he came in and spent his money. That
lunless he had come forward at the
time he did the State would have been
Host to the Democrats and the Repub-
llican forces routed. But this as II
may-and we do not doubt but that he
did spend lots OF mOney-yet the stand
taken by the Regular Republican party
is still unassailable and right from the
core II would undoubtedly have been
better had the campaigns of the past
been waged along honorable lines, and
that the vote of every citizen had been
least in accordance with his political
views.
The present fight is for the purity OF

RrNns AND DRESS SUITS

What lot OF strange and bizarre
things come out of the University OF
Chicago. In a lecture a day or two
ago one Of the learned professors ably
discussed the origin and significance
Of wedding rings, and one or two
other matters of a like tenor. He de-
clared that this ornament has descend
ed from a period when rings were
placed arounu the different parts OF
the anatomy OF slaves, to which chains
were attached TO their masters In
other words. this trinket is a relic OF
those days when the wearers were
slaves. We might ask how does the
learned professor know? But accord
ing TO reports. the students swallowed
his guess as the statement OF a fac
not to be controverted. A teacher i
supposed 10 impart truth. and to,
many wild guesses are inadmissible.
But. granting the truth of the cru
dite professors philosophy, does tn
knowledge constitute any reason fo
discarding the wedding ring? tn
learned professor must be aware ths
his ancestors hung by their tails frol
the forest branches. and that he sti
carries a stump Of that tail. There
no reason for disearding what is lef

indeed its extension might even prove
useful in fly time.
Suppose the ring was once the badge
Of slavery, and we have been busy
evoluting since those days, hasn't the
idea OF the ring also undergone a pro-
cess Of evolution Formerly it meant
bodies bound together; now it signi-
hes a union of hearts. Perhaps the
scholarly professor has had no ex-
perience leading him to adopt the lat
ter hypothesis. But il we are to avoid
the customs Of a less enlightened age,
because IL was less enlightened, and
thus discard the wedding ring, should
we not be copying a more remote
ancestry, the apes, who also wore no
iewelry?
He goes on to make certain dispar-
aging remarks about mems evening
dress. This. too, is a relic of a by
gone age, and. perforce, should be
laid away in camphor, never to be
taken out. We hardly know the reason
for this. II is the most economical
dress for gentlemen. 1t forbids orna-
mentation and display, and as many
man will attest. it serves its purpose
from the wedding to the funeral. 1t is
most democratic institution, since
when It is worn there is nothing to
distinguish Jim Smith from Chauncey
DeDew. save the man inside.
Complaint is made that there is
nothing to distinguish walters and
nunkies from guests, but that is not
the fault Of the suit, unless we admit
that the clothes make the man. If the
manner and conduct Of a guest marks
him as a waiter. the clothes should not
be blamed The remedy is to either
invite guests of a more distinguished
appearance. or select walters of a type
that will not overshadow the gentle
men present An Insignificant looking
man should take into consideration his
own shortcomings when engaging a
butler.

Quay VERSUS ELKIN

For many years the Republican party
of Pennsylvania has been in the grip
OF a constituencies machine. Occasion
ally out Of fear slight concessions have
been made to the element which de-
manded a more decent conduct of af-
fairs. but usually it has consulted only
its own whim. brutally forcing candi-
dates on the people which were most
Objectionable, and asking the people
TO ratify the act. In the true sense
there have not been primary elections;
the delegates almost invariably being
decided on in advance by the ward or
division boss. There have been con-
ventions which met when the delegates
had no idea for whom they should
cast their votes till the word was pass
ed around.
Repeatedly persons have been nomi-
mated and elected to important offices,
whose characters and regulations were
known to be most corrupt Indeed,
one man was sent TO the United States
Senate in face of the fact that in a
criminal trial he pleaded the statute
of limitations in order TO shut out most
damning testimony. The acme of inn
pudence and criminality was reached
by The Legislature which met last win
ter All respect for public opinion
decency or common honesty was
thrown to the winds. and ripper bills,
legislating men out Of office, and fran
chise steals went through with a
whoop.
That branch of the machine in Phila-
saielphia was not slow TO profit by the
general condition. Franchises worth
millions were given away with only
a sneer for those who protested. An
election was held. and there is evil
dence to show that many thousands of
illegal votes were cast The better ele-
ment in the party have repeatedly pro-
tested. but all in vain. Time after
