Gems of"riiullgIlt.

The best cure for mans conceit Is
woman'S laughter.
Man regards human nature as a
pack mule on which to pile his sins.
Fearfullness burns the bridge be-
hind; fear, the bridge before.
No man was ever discontentcd with
the world if he did his duty In it.
Man thinks more of the cigar
thrown in than Of the box he pays for.
Some things that are received as
gifts are really intended as invest
mcnts.
When you conquer your enemy by
force, his better part remains uncon-
CURED.
Every wise man has parachute of
prudence attached to his balloon Of en-
thuSiaSm.
The foundation Of self respect is
work. Work is the parent OF enter
prise; idlencss is the parent Of vice.

Hanna Iia IYorrie,i.

The Ohio campaign is becoming
more interesting every day. A New
York paper attributes to Senator
Hanna the admission that the Re
publican nominee for governor is to
have mo such" in his contest against
Tom l.. Johnson, the Democratic
nominee. The Johnstown, Pa,
Democrat describes the situation in
an interesting way when it SAYS;
'"rhe Republican and the reorganizer
papers are full of Ohio political stuff
antagonistic to Tom l.. johnson, the
Chicago Chronicle Leading with
lurid tales Of Democratic revolt and
of Republican jubilation. Perhaps
the wish is father to the thought.
But then it is remembered that when
he was running for congress the first
tince it was confidently claimed that
the workinglnen wouldn't touch him
with 40-foot pole and that there
fore he would never come in sight Of
the wire. The same representations
were made when he came out for
mayor. All the Republican papers
and all the pluto-democratic organs
declared him to be impossible. But
somehow he won out all right and he
won out again and again each time
by a more sweeping majority. May
he not fool his enemies again? May
he not prove as potent in the state rs
he has shown himself to be in Cleve-
land and in Cuyahoga? OF course
Bernard is against him in Hamilton
county, But he was against him be-
fore. He has always been against
anybody who was n real Democrat
and if he can combine with Republi-
can Boss Cox SO rs to throw Hamil-
ton county over to Hcrrick the Re-
publican candidate there isn't the
slightest doubt that he will do it,
Tom johnson may be defeated, but
he is certainly giving Mark Hanna a
great deal Of uneasincss. Tn fact
the old boss boodler seems to have a
tired feeling.

A grewsome spectacle was witnessed
at Birmingham Ala, Thursday when
Felix Hall, colored, was hanged for the
murder of Norwood Clark, white.
When the drop fell the rope slipped
and the condemned man hung for ten
minutes, only half choking. He was
hauled up and the rope re.adjusted.
This time the fall broke. his neck.
Halls last act was to write a declara-
tiun OF innocence.

heavy fog prevented them seeing the

Redeem Indtnnn.

Republican papers have had much
to say concerning lawlessness in
Breathitt county, Kentucky. Not long
ago Curtis Jett was tried and convict
ed OH the charge of assassinating At
torney Marcum. Jett was sentenced
to life Imprisonment. Later Jett
was placed on trial on the charge
Of killing Thomas Cockrill, whose
assassination occurred several years
ago and long prior to the killing Of
Marcum: In the Cockrill case Jett
was found guilty and sentenced to
death. The Commoner says accept
ing then, the verdict in both sf these
cases as having been rendered in ac-
cordance with the law and the evi-
dence, itseems that Kentucky, to this
extent, at least, has redeemed itself.
Would it not be well now for some Of
these republican papers to devote
their attention to the state Of Indiana,
which state, because of the conduct
OF its republican authorities, is in
need of little wholesome work along
the redemption line? William S.
Taylor, former governor Of kentucky,
is now given protection by the re-
publican officials in the state of In
diana. Taylor is charged with hav-
ing taken part in the assassination OF
the late Governor Goeblc, and al
though the governor Of Kentucky
has repeadly called upon the rcpub-
lican governor Of Indiana to surrend-
er Taylor of the Kentucky authorities
the Indiana governor has refused tc

fathers presence, when his face grew
deathly pale, he raised his hand, and
stated that he never again wanted to
hear that duel spoken Of by any mem.
ber Of his family. That the borrow OF
that tragedy, committed on little
island in the Savannah River, haunted
this great and good man all his days,
is not doubted, and it cast dark cloud
over brilliant and useful life.
l have known a great many men
who had taken human life, under all
manner OF circumstances, and with
out single exception they wore the
brand Of Cain upon their brows.
There was no pleasure or happiness in
life for him. Their existence was one
long reign Of remorse and sclf-re-
proach, and II they did not manifest
the same by word Of mouth, it could
be seen in the restless eye, and ner-
vOus starting at every unusual noise. -
Many turned for consolation to drink,
and which only added fuel to the in
ternal fires that ever burned within
them. Others prospered, but during
those intervals when the mind was
permitted to wander back to the past,
a look OF haggard misery o'erspread
their faces. The brand of Cain was
fixed upon the brows Of those she'd
ders Of human blood by Divine vcnge-
ance, and only death could erase it.

thrope county, Ca. talking with a
young friend OF mine who had gone
with q party to chastlse a negro for a

deayored to escape. He fired on the

tivated and made to blossom. That
these bodies of priests had vested
rights, that the most delicate ques-
tons of law entered into the affair,
that the pope had certain claims and
privileges which the new government
Of the Philippines must admit, amazed
the great majority of people whose
train of thought had never carried
them beyond the narrow conditions
they knew And it is greatly to the
credit of many of the American people
to whom the relations of church and
state in Latin countries are incompre-
hensible, that they saw, perhaps as
through glass darllly, that new era
had opened and that the part played
by the archbishop in regard to the ne
gotiations with Rome was the part of
q patriot, deploring the circumstances
that forced us into foreign entangle-
ments, but seeing and acting as no
other man saw and acted.
THE archbishop of St. Paul is one
of the foremost of Americans, and one
of the few Americans whose name has
a laundering echo in Europs. 1t would
be too much to tell here what he has
done in the interests of peace for the
French republic. May it be long be-
fore the eulogy, which it would be in
bad taste to write of a living man, is
emblazoned over his great head and
heart by a grateful people"

POPE LEO RECEIVES THE EN-.
PERoR OF GERMANY.

On Sunday Emperor William of
Germany paid visit to the pope. Clad
in the blue uniform of a general of
the guards, he drove to the Odescalcni
palace, the official residence of the
Prussian minister to the Holy See.
There he had luncheon with Cardinals
Rampolla, Gotti and Agliardi.
The sun was shining brightly when
Emperor William left the legation to
drive to the vatican. Fifteen carriages
were required for use of himself and
his suite. The horses, carriages and
servants were all brought from Ber-
lin, as the emperor was determined
to give his visit OF the pope especial
official Importance.
On the previous day the imperial
coachman held a dress rehearsal of
the drive to the vatican, much to the
delight of the small boys of Rome.
The long cortege was preceded by
German cuirassiers on white horses.
They are big men, and as they rode
down the streets they made almost as
great a sensation as did the emperor
himself. A Gordon along the thorough
fare was formed by Italian soldiers.
Emperor William has often declared
that he enjoys going to the vatican
from an artistic and spectacular point
of view. The moment he arrived at
the Plaza of st. Peter he was alert
