and their only fear now Is that their
people will suffer with overconfidence.
Mr.. Cortelyou Is constantly sending
out warnings to his lieutenants in the
debatable states to beware Of feeling
too sure So far the Republicans have
very little money-just enough to pay
running expenses. Treasurer Bliss
confides to his friends that raising
campaign money this year is altogeth-
er the most discouraging task he ever

The Democratic managers have a
great deal more money than the Re-
publicans. 1t Is believed the proper
ton of dollars in the rival war chests
is as four to one. 1t Is an open Sc
cret that most Of the Democratic funds
have come from a few trusts-the
New York transportation trust, the
sugar trust, the oil trust and the to-
bacco trust If the Democrats make
any headway with their antitrust is

suggestion, the Republicans are pre-

campaign fund and to ask the old
question: Where did you get it?"
Tom Taggart is pushing his town.

diana with all the energy he can in
fuse into his lieutenants out there.
One Of Toms schemes for carrying
the state Is to get hold Of contrac-
tors working on electric railroads,
steam roads, buildings, etc, and to
convince them that II the Democrats
win they will find rich contracts on
the s101,000,000 canal and in public
works in this city. Tom whispers into
the ears Of these men: I'VE have New
York cinched. Now, you work your
men and help us carry Indiana, and
the thing is done. Then I'll put you
next to some good contracts in the
east"
Taggart's real hope Of carrying In
diana, 1t is known here, lies in his
plan to throw a big pot Of money into
the state a few days before election
He is now perfecting his organization
with view to effective operations in
the closing hours Of the struggle.

PoSTOFFIcE SCANDAL.
Democratic Campaign Book Reviews
the Frauds.
TO BE CONTINUED.

Democratic Campaign BOOK heVIe"s
the Frauds.
In a section Of the Democratic cam
paign text book the postoff1ce scandals
are reviewed, and the Republican ad-
ministration is denounced for permit
ting such corruption to exist as the
official note disclosed. President
Roosevelt Is accused Of acting tardily
in the matter Of investigation, and
persons high in authority" are charg-
ed with trying to suppress all evil
dence of the true state of affairs.
Four extraordinary features of the
postal frauds, as set forth, are:
The extraordinary extent of the
frauds and the number of persons in
volved.
That the higher officials knew OF
the frauds and scandals years before
they were investigated.
That while it Is probable, If not GER
tain, that other gross frauds and scan
dals exist, a Republican congress ir
both branches has voted against in
vestigation.
That President Roosevelt was either
kept in ignorance Of the frauds until
January, 1903. or did not care to ex-
pose their astounding character unit
public notoriety compelled action te
be taken.
Every revelation made Of the black
mail and venality Of the postoff1ce de-
partment has been dragged out ir
spite of the administration which un-
dertook the investigation only wher
the scandal had become so public II
could no longer be smothered.
Every spot the probe has touched
has developed corruption-contracts
let in Washington, promotions made ir
New York, fraud orders withheld ir
the west, padded pay rolls, swoller
bills, charges for work never perform.

blackmail of employees, double salaries

millions of dollars a year.
The partial investigation of the

JAPARS GENERALS.
A Pen Picture of Three Great
Fighters.

i9hsS'o'
Three men are standing in front Of
a large scale map. The map is Of so
large a scale that it screens the whole
expanse Of wall at one end Of the
room. The shortest of the three men
holds a telegram in his hand, and as
he reads from 1t one Of the members
of the triumvirate runs his finger
along the red line which seems to
bifurcate the suspended chart. Hav-
ing satisfied themselves that the read
ing Of the map synchronizes with the
information contained in the telegram
the three men group around the ia
BILE in the centre Of the room. They
are worthy Of close observation these
three, for 1t Is this triumvirate that Is
ruling Japan's destinies at the pres
ent moment.
The small, podgy, pock-marked man,
whom no caricaturist could fall to
lampoon as a frog, Is Baron Oyama,
the Roberts of Japan. We use the
parallel to our own great soldier only
as a figure Of location. In tempera-
ment there Is no likeness between the
two except that each in his respect
i've country is a great soldier. And
what a history lies behind this
diminutive field marshal! He has seen
the latent fighting strength Of his ma
ton develop in a single generation
from the standard attained In the
medieval civilization of the east to
that Of a first class western power;
has lived to command 1t In the act OF
overthrowing the vaunted strength OF
a western power. But to few great
military leaders has such an oppor-
tunity come as has presented itself to
the present generalissimo Of Japans
army.
Twelve years ago this very marshal
was called upon to command the Jap
anese army in the field against the
strength of China. The opening
phases Of his present campaign are
being conducted over the very ground
through which he then man9uVered

often in the lifetime Of general to
operate twice over the same squares
of the map? In the present operations
the knowledge CLEANED in that first
campaign has been worth an army
corps.
The little general seated at the mar
shars right Is the Kitchener Of Japan.
If we had not known that he was ia
panese his quick dark eye. dapper
figure and pointed beard would have
led us to believe that he was a Span
lard, or perhaps a Mexican.
General Baron Kodama Is the exec
utiye brain of the Japanese staff or
the third member Of the triumvirate,
however, we have no parallel In the
British army. Like his illustrious as
sociates, he also Is small. He Is fair
for a Japanese, and the plash of gray
at either temple enhances the fairness
of his skin. Save for a rare and very
pleasant smile, the face is unemo-
tional. The eyes are dreamy and
the poorest expression of the great
brain that works behind them. This
Is General Fukushima, whose genius
has been the concrete mortar which
has cemented into solid block the
rough -hewn material Of Japan's gen.
eral staff-Blackwood's Magazine.

INDIANS NOT DYING OFF.
More Numerous Now Than Since First
Settlement of Country.

mOT0 NuT1oT0dc W." tudu S"Se "es
Settlement of Country.
Recently Charles M. Harvey prepar-
ed from the records of the government
some interesting facts with respect to
the irrepressible conflict between the
white and the red men. He notes the
error of early historians who estimat-
ed the number Of Indians in this coun-
try at from 100000 to 100000. 1t
mentalist-the supposed slaughter and
determination Of a great Indian popu-
lation. Mr.. Harvey finds that In the
Indian troubles from first to last fif-
teen white persons perished to one In
dian slain. He shows from the best
information obtainable by the govern
ment that the Indian population at the
time Of the discovery by Columbus
could not have been more than 100000.
1.-THE early explorers, missionaries and
traders" he says, "journeyed by way
Of the seacoast the rivers and the
lakes, along which the Indians were
most numerous. In travelling through
the wilderness the whites attracted In
dams from miles around through Gu
riosity. The whites thought the In
dams were equally numerous every
where, but vast stretches Of forest and
prairie were absolutely untenanted, ex-
cept for short times each year when
visited by hunting parties. War and
hunting often took the same band OF
Indians to several points in the course
of a year, the whites thinking they
were different bands. Many tribes
were known by different names to the
Spaniards, the French and the English,
and among some tribes the names va
ried at different places and times.
These causes accounted for the exag-
gerated notions"
The last census showed an Indian
population Of 100000 outside Of those
in Alaska. In 400 years then the white
man has reduced the Indian population
from 100000 to 100000, or in the full
number Of $4,000 souls. But this was
not done directly by the white men.
Much Of it was due to the sickness and
vices which came with the white mans
civilization. A still larger portion was
due to the wars carried on between the
tribes these being made more frequent
and deadly as the white man crowded
the red men into a limited area and
made them rivals for the same hunting
grounds. Still, Of course, the whites
were primarily responsible for the de-
cadence of the Indian population.
The Indians are now increasing IN
numbers. Between the censuses OF
1890 and 1900 they increased by $4,000.
But they are no longer Indians in the
sense of old, for most Of them have
come to the white mans mode OF life
and are merely an element Of the COM
mon population-Kansas City Journal,
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1904-09-27

simply hadn't heard about the shootin'

she'd write or call to ak about you
but not a word or line has come, an
I hardly know what to think about 1t. ,
"There is one thing which would ex

servant woman saw his tense lips
twitching. "She may be engaged tc

she has promised to marry him, she
would respect his wishes. She's thai

"George"-Mrs. Hillyer took a deer
breath-"do you reckon she has agreed
to marry that man"
"I'm really afraid she has," Buckley
answered. "I'm afraid she has giver
in to the wishes Of her people"
There was silence for moment; ther
Mrs. Hillyer broke it abruptly as she
rose and moved toward the door
"Well," she said almost furiously, "ei
she has-ef she has I'd never have the
respect fer 'er l once had an that
still have. The fact Is I'm not a-goin
to condemn 'er tell l know she's done
It. Thar's some mystery here, an I'm
goin' to find out what 1t is."
Half an hour later she burst into the
room, a huge bunch Of white and red
roses in her hands. Then beauties

"They come jest this minute, an here's

George took the note while she was
putting the flowers into big vase or
a table near his bed. BE opened it
and the glad light in his eyes went out
Turning back to him, Mrs. Hillyel
noted the blank look Of disappointment
on his wan face.
"They are from Miss Cosby" he said
family as with shaking fingers he re-
stored the tinted sheet Of note paper
to its envelope. His eyes met the In
dignant stare of the woman.
"Miss Cosby" she cried. "An' not q
word from the other? It's a shame"
"Its a sort of compromise" Buck
ley said bitterly. 81 was really not
expecting anything. Miss Cosby pre-
sents her compliments, admires what

Tears shone in Mrs. Hillyer's eyes as
she bent and stroked his bandaged
brow. George" she said, "they are
infiuencin' 'er,-them old folks are.
She wouldn't do you this way Of 'er
own accord, fer she's a good, true girl"
"Perhaps-perhaps that's It," he said
wearily and turned his face away.

THE REAL ROBINSON cRUsoE,
Adventures Of Alexander Selkirk, the
Original of "Robinson crusoe."

|
Original of "Robinson crusoe."
The story of Robinson Crusoe" was
founded on the experiences Of GER
tain Alexander Selkirk, who resided
four years on the island Of Juan Fer
nandez, in the Pacific ocean. Capt.
Rogers, commander Of the vessel
which rescued Selkirk, related the
story, and Defoe afterward worked it
up into the narrative now so familiar
to all. 1t was for this reason that De-
foe was accused Of pilfering the man
uscript, and even Of having stolen
many letters belonging to Selkirk De-
foe is said to have made a snug for
tune from the sale Of Robinson Cru
soe," and out Of the proceeds Of the
book to have built q fine house for
himself in a suburb of London. So
The adventures Of Selkirk, differ on
ly in detail from the story Of Crusoe.
The real Crusoe, as we may call him,
was not shipwrecked, but came ashore
voluntarily. He was a Scotchman,
and landed from an English ship, the
Cinque Ports, a little vessel Of but
90-odd tons burden, carrying 1S guns.
commanded by Capt William Dampier,
in 17O4. Selkirk was the sailing mas
ter Of the vessel, and in reality, he
had had falling out" with the cap
tain some time before and begged to
be put ashore. Just what this quarrel
may have been is not known, since the
account comes from the captain him
self Selkirk lived alone on the island
for four years and four months, and
was then rescued by Capt. Rogers Of
the Duke and taken back to England.
Capt. Rogers wrote the original ac-
count Of Selkirks adventures, so that
We have the true story Of this famous
romance at first hand.
When Selkirk landed to take posses
sion Of his island-kingdom he carried
fewer provisions than Crusoe Of the
story. A boat from the Cinque Ports
brought him to the beach with his
seamen's chest and meager possessions
and put him ashore.
AS the boat pulled away Selkiri
quickly regretted his act, and begged
on his knees to be taken back to the
ship. The sailors refused, returning
alone, so that the original Crusoe
found himself an unwilling prisoner.
There was little roma &c in the situa-
ton. His entire Possessions comprts-
ed only some clothes and bedding.
firelock, one pound Of powder, some
bullets, tobacco, a hatchet, knife,
Bible and his mathematical instru-
ments and books.
Four years and four months later,
when Selkirk-now safely on board
the Duke-told the story Of his adven-
lures, the misery Of those first hours
on. the island was still clear In his
memory. AS the ship disappeared he
sat upon his seaman's chest in utter
detection. He ate nothing for many
hours. His greatest fear was that
with the coming Of night he would be
attacked by wild animals. In his own
words, II went to sleep when I could
watch no longer" For long time he
remained in such low spirits that he
could eat only at rare intervals. His
first food was the flesh Of seals and the
coarse food picked up along the beach.
