SENATOR HOAR DEAD.

Another of America s brilliant pol
itical lights has gone out; another
true and noble spirit has returned to
the God that gave it. On the morn
ing of September so. Senator George
It. Hoar passed quietly away.
Senator Hoar was one of the strong
est men in the United States sena te
He was incorrigible, fighting to the
bitter end for whatever he deemed to
be right, he was broad minded, even
TO the point of variance with his own
party if narrowness prevailed, as is
instanced by his memorable, impas-
stoned plea in defense of Aguinaldo,
against the wishes of republican lead
ers.
Senator Hoar was considered one of
the purest types of the cultured New
Highlander. He was graduate of
the ripest classical scholars ever sent
ont py that institution. At the time
of his death he was on the board of
nearly every historical society in
America, and held honorary degrees
from Oxford, Edinburg, Yale and
Amherst
Senator Hoar was 78 years of age
and had been United States senator
from Massachusetts, for twenty seven
years.
Though lifelong republican. all
who knew him, regardless 'of party,
feel that the nation has lost a states
man and citizen whose place is hard
to fill.

IMPORTANT MATTER.

A matter of vital Importance to the
democratic voters of Miss ssippi, aud
one that has not been given the pub
licity it demands, is the names of the
electors who will cast the vote Of the
state in the electoral college for presi-
dent and vice president of the United
States, SAYS the Grenada Sentinel
Ballots are cast, not for the heads of
the ticket, as some believe, but for
the presidential electors of the party
they represent.
On the ticket to be used in the
November election will probably ar
pear IN a3difion 70 tie names of &
ten democratic electors, also the eleci-
ors Of the republican, populist, DIAL
list and prohibition parties, making II
formidable total of fifty, should each
party be represented. From this

WAR IS HE'LL. -

that declaration during the war
between the states, and notwithstand-
ing the expression is not very refined,
the general did not miss the bulls eye
OF truth very far if any, as nearly all
soldiers who hsys faced the brunt OF
battle will testify,
But there is one example VINO aooks

men-hs gleries in war-and thes

He favors war and srgues thgs IN
favor of it:
mo death is more glorious than
death for ones country.
SIN the providence of God war was
ordained, and the human race will
always fight for what it loves
''This nation was founded through
war.
I'm the days we are unwilling TO
| fight for our liberties we shall surely
lose the respect of the world.
"We have had wars since the woriaa
began.
Therefore We shall always have
wars. -
The majority of men will differ with
the distinguished general in regard to |
war on many points. The points
he presents in favor of war are not
tenable from an intellectual stand
point, but the general, like most other
men seek to maintain his position by
making God responsible for every cal
amity that befalls man. Referring to
the position taken on this subject by
General Sickles, the Atlanta Journal
SAYS:
Let us take up the generals argu-
ment, seriatim.
81 1t may be admitted that death
for ones country-when necessary,
mind you-is glorious. But such nec-
essities have been few in the history
of our race and they will become
fewer.
SO. To say that war has been or
dained of providence is to fly in the
face of all the teachings of the MAJ
arene, author of the new dispensation.
his assertion is coupled with the
statements that humanity will always
fight for what it loves. Then war de-
ponds upon what humanity loves
And humanity does not love to lose
it's life. Humanity's loves are chang

a desire for peace War was only in

pect is not worth the keeping.
So To claim that because we have
had wars since the world began ana
therefore we will always have wars is
illogical. It leaves out of account the
fact that the world is growing better.
1t is tc say there are no means save
blood shed and the waste of battle for
the settlement of international differ
ences.

TOPEKA WON 1T.
Easily Defeats Emporia at
Basketball.

The most exciting game of basket
ball seen in Topeka for some time was
played last night when the teams from
the State Normal school at EmDoria
and the Topeka Y M. c. A. met in the
latter's gymnasium. The final score
was 40 to 13 in favor of the home team.
In the first half of the game the
Topeka boys showed that they were
the better players. Emporia did her
best, but it was no use The ball was
in her territory during the greater part
of the game, and the Topeka team
threw baskets" in a. way which left
the Emporia boys little hope of ever
getting ahead. AT the end of the first
half the score stood Is to in Topeka
favor
In many particulars the second half
was the same as the first. Topeka
came up strong and threw several
baskets before the Emporia players
awoke to the fact that the playing had
begun. TOpeka'S team work was the
feature of the game. and every MEM
Der of the team did his part. although
the work of Griggs and Millice was the
| most effective. The team work of the
visitors was also good, but they were
not able to back it uD with a sufficient
| number of scores. Jackson of Emporia
played a fast game-as good, in fact,
as that of any member of the home
team-but his work did not have the
necessary support and consequently
was not very effective.
| Another feature of the game was the
rough playing on the part of both
| teams. Emporia started the trouble
and in order to show that they were
not at all scared the Topeka players
! were compelled to retaliate with a few
slugs and other little pleasantries of q
| similar nature. Both teams were pen
allied an innumerable number of times
| and the greater part of Emporias score
was made on fouls.
Referee Carney did not give entire
satisfaction. He was from Emporia
and his work was exceedingly raw. His
rulings were the cause of much kissing
and hooting on the part of the audi
ence, which, by the way, was none too
| large. The following is the lineup of
