With its usual good sense, the Fort
Wavne Sentinel (Dem.) says: ION
the race question Senator Tillman
has nothing to say that is either en-
tightening or edifying. Everybody
knows that in southern states the me-
gro has no constitutional rights that
the whites feel bound to recognize,
and that occasionally in northern
states q negro Is hanged or burned by
mobs But what good can come of
northern audiences sitting under Till
mans blatant approval of southern
methods and northern lynchings? The
situation is deplorable and dangerous
and calls for the thoughtful consldera-
ton Of temperate men. not the ravines
OF the Tillmans.

An Excellent School For Business.

The Huntington Business Uniyer-
sity has become one of the largest and
best business training schools in ex-
istence. Its graduates get good posi-
lions as soon as they are graduated.
Many of the largest business firms in
large cities depend upon this institu-
tion for their Office help on account of
the proficiency of its graduates. 1t is
Endorsed by more business and profess
sional men and high officials than any
other business college.

Strong Creatures Easily Killed.

Whales, elephants and eagles come
at the head of the table of creatures
which longest survive the ills to which
they are heir. Yet whale has been
found dead of a dislocated jaw; an
elephant has died Of gangrene in one
Of his feet, set up by gur shot. In a
Scotch deer forest not long ago stalk
ing party came across magnificent
goldsn eagle, dead, caught in fox
trap. He had been caught by the Gen.
ter claw of one foot and had died of
exhaustion in attempting to escape
BY his side were two grouse and a
partly eaten hare which other eagles
had brought to sustain him in bis fight
for life. If rat had been caughtoby
his leg in trap either he or his COM
rades would have bitten off the IN
prisoned limb and released him. The
poor despised toad is not built to stand
physical violence, but he would fatten
on the imprisonment. loads inn
prisoned in rocks for years-no one
knows how many-come to light from
time to time, fat and well. Unless
microbes carried to them through the
pores of the imprisoning rock have
been their fare, it is certain, according
to naturalists. that they have eaten
nothing for an unthinkable period.

The Hopeless Democratic Party.

If the republican party had been
deviSing the most effective means of
dispoing of its old enemy, the demo-
cratic party, and if it had had the
power to bring its most ingenious de-
vices to bear, it could not have ex-
pected ten years ago to place the
democratic party into so hopeless a
condition as that party has brought on
itself. Take the second Cleveland ad-
mlnistration, the Chicago and the
Kansas City platforms, ant he Ne
braska popocrat, and you have COM
bination of forces that would distract
even an aggregation of archangels,
and the democratic leaders are not
archangeIs by good many degrees.

The Bourbon Advance has column
article in which it tries to convince
people that the reason the Pennsyl-
vania railroad does not run excursions
to Chicago is because the merchants
of Warsaw, Columbia City and Plym-
outh are opposed to them; but in the
Bourbon paper we find the following
article:
The Sunday school excursion which
was advertised to leave Bourbon for
Winona Lake Yesterday was pulled
off by the Pennsylvania road for the
reason that they could not furnish the
coaches. Tuesday was then decided
on and arrangements for transporta-
tion were in progress when the COM
mittee in charge thought the time
was too short to do the matter justice
and Friday was finally settled upon,
but tho following telegram to Agent
Tom Twomey knocked that date out
CT the question, and at this writing
the excursion has been indefinitely
postponed. The telegram is as fol-
lows:
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Aug. 3, 1908.
T. j. TwOMEY:

vide coaches for your Sunday school
excursion Aug. I. We tried to borrow
coaches from the g. r, & L. on that
date but they could not let us have

The death of Hon. John Gilbert
Shanklin. at. Evansville, after .
ailment of several years,
removes from the realms of politics a
man of marked ability. an orator of
persuasive eloquence, and graceful
writer Of high attainment. He was
the son Of Irish parents, but in his
ways he was much more Of German
than an Irishman. This may be &C
counted for by the fact that he was
educated in Germany. Mr.. Shanklin
loved p0llticS-n0t for the gains to be
derived therefrom, but because he
wanted to impress his views and senti-
ments upon his fellow-men. He be-
lieved in fiat money, and therefore
earnestly and enthusiastically espoused
the cause Of greenbackism and the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
He was a radical free trader and an
ultra civil service reformer. Up to
1894 he was an ardent admirer
of Grover Cleveland, and in 1895
he was one of William j. Bryan S
most devoted followers. Personally
he was clever gentleman. He did
not know the value of money, and
never concerned himself much about
business. AS newspaper writer he
stood pre-eminent; as a newspaper
he was dismal failure. Physically
he was a giant, standing several inches
over six feet in his stockings and
weighing over 3OOpounds. That was
when he was in his prime. OF late
years he approached the emaciation
stage. He was almost wholly blind

Must Pump the City Dry.

The city of New Orleans, like most
Of the land at each side of the Missis-
sippi river in the alluvial country. lies
considerably below the high water line
Of the Mississippi river. The whole
city would be inundated by the river
occasionally If it were not protected
by a levee along the river front. The
city is also protected by leveeS run
ming at right angles to the river-one
above the city and one below it-and
also by leyee along the shore of Lake
Pontchartrain and by levees along the
banks of the various canals which reach
from that lake into the territory Of
the municipality.
New Orleans is SO near the mouth of
the river that the land upon which
the city is built IS not only lower than
the high water stage of the river. but
is in part lower than the level Of the
Gulf of Mexico and of the various
lakes in the vicinity of the city.
Therefore, there is no natural drain
age for the land inolosed by the levees
surrounding the town. The rainwater
that falls upon this area has to be
pumped so as to force it into either
Lake Pontchartrain or Lake Borgue.
The city itself covers large area. al
though the major portion Of its area
is not built up as city. The part at
present chiefly occupied by buildings
consists of strip mile or SO wide
along the bank of the river.

Opening For a Big Lawsuit.

The movement by the government
to take over the bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river at ST. Louis may raise
some interesting questions. AS the
river is a navigable one the bridge
company had of course to obtain per-
mission from the government to con-
struct the bridge, and it is said that
among the conditions imposed upon
the company was one that should it
pool its earnings with another COM
pany, consolidate with another COM
pany or have upon its board of d.
rectors officers of another company, its
charter would be forfeited without
legal prosecution. 1t. is claimed that
violation of this condition has worked
a forfeiture of the company's charter.
There seems to bean opening for a
great lawsuit.

The Department Of Agriculture re-
ports that thousands of letters are be-
ing received at the department from
farmers in various parts of the coun-
try asking about new grain called
'corn-wheat. that some bogus seed
firm is exploiting. The department
advises the farmers that that taere is
no such grain as corn wheat, and it is
probable that no hybrid of corn aud
wheat could ever be produced, OF at
any rate none that would be fertile.
The grain that has caused the aglta-
tion is properly called Polish wheaS,
and has some value as food for hogs.

In a speech before democratic
county convention at Urbana. Ohio,
Ohio, Wednesday, w. j. Bryan de-
MED that he was diSturber and said
that the trouble with the democratic
party began in '92 when a "bunko

Wall street just as confidence men
worked individuals.
He insisted that those who had not
been loyal could not resume the lead
ership until they became repentant.
The money question, he said was Lot
paramount today, but the plutoc' a,y

all its purposes.

that he will then be inclined to let

Papyrus Discovered Containing Lost

PApyrus Discovered Containing Lost
Ode by Poet Timotheus.
In an ancient mummy case dating
back to the age of Alexander or ear
lier, Herr Borchardt has found at
Abusir, Egypt, a papyrussroll con-
tanning an ode Of Timotheus, the
Greek poet and musician. The indie
pendent chronicles the details of the
discovery as follows: "By the head
of the buried man lay the remains Of
a small leather purse, a sponge, a
rusted piece of iron, a bit Of wood and
a thin roll of papyrus. With infinite
pains this roll was opened, and, when
broken, pieced together. 1t proved
to be 43 inches long and contained
five columns of Greek writing. The
first column was in a ruinous state,
the second was not complete, but the
three last we're intact and gave the
concluding verses Of a poem, in which
by good luck the poet speaks Of him
self by name. 1t was at once clear
from the theme that we had here
portion of THE Persians,' famous
nome of Timotheus, of which two or
three brief fragments were alreadyin

One Of the most interesting fea-

Occasionally word or two Of their
picturesque slang rises far enough
above the surface to be incorporated
in the vocabulary Of the day, and
achieves wide usage Theword rub

example. Vulgar, all will admit, but
tremendously expressive. Try hard to
think of word, or even collection
OF words, which will convey as brill
liantly what rubber" paints in one
bold dash. Yet its birthplace was the
stamping ground of the newsboys,
which Is as prolific breeding place
Tor slang as the New Jersey marshes
for mosquitoes. The majority of
these ephemeral phrases are obscure
IN their origin. Probably the tongues
which use them the most would be at
a loss to explain how they came to
mean what they do. The comprehen-

humor Of the crowd are the ones
which acquire the general usage. The
rest change and pass away almost
from week to week Various locali-
