Should the jury find that Duffey is in
sane and irresponsible for his acts. an
order will be made recommitting him

Committee alta meeting held just after
the adjournment of the convention.
In thanking the committee for the
honor he told the members that, while
he would be glad to have the benefit
Of their advice and counsel, he intend
ed to be chairman in fact, and would
accept no dictation from any one, high
or low. He told them that the friends
of the late chairman, Mr.. Hanna, were
his friends, and he asked for the same
measure of confidence and support that
had been given to the last chairman.
In conclusion, he sought the advice Of
both old and new members.
Mr.. Cortelyou made no formal state
ment Of his plans. He resigned as
Secretary of Commerce and Labor as
soon as he was elected chairman, the
resignation to take effect as soon as
his successor qualities, which will be
about Julyl. Secretary Cortelyou will
not give any active time to political
matters until he retires from the Cab

city until the latter part Of July
Meanwhile, Mr.. Cortely0u expects te

Where Unmanageable Boys Learn to
Be self-Respecting Citizens.
The annual meeting of the Berkshire
Industrial Farm took place on Friday
at the farm, Canaan -Four Corners, N
Y. Managers were present from New
York City, Albany, New Haven.
Lexox, Morristown, and other
places. All were deeply interested in
the eighty boys, gathered there for
the reformation of character and res
cue from evil habits.
The schools were first visited. Here
forty boys are taught in the morning,
while the other forty are at work, the
latter taking their turn at school in
the afternoon. In the printing office,
carpenter and blacksmith shops and
dairy were found cheerful groups of
boys, busily at work with their teach
ers. The farm and the garden afford
constant occupation for large num-
Der of the boys, who frequently turn
to farming as their chosen pursuit
when they leave.
At midday the boys gave the visitors
some hearty singing in the chapel, and
kindly words we're spoken to them by
several men present. They all adj
journed to the ball ground, where the
baseball nine showed their skill.
La the afternoon interesting letters
were read from boys who had left the
farm and are now earning their living.
The Berkshire Farm is in debt to the
amount of $1,000. owing to the bad
crops which prevailed in that region,
last summer, and to a visitation Of
tuberculosis which attacked the COWS
last fall. IN. Y. Tribune.
We understand that during the
past year of the IS boys at the institu-
tion, thirteen boys from New Jersey
have been at the Berkshire Farm, and
that of these, several were from Nor
ris County.

SPEAKER COMMON, affectionately
called "Uncle joe" is a good type OF
that unique class of statesmen OF
which Illinois seems to have almost a
monopoly in production. There has
not been since the days of Abraham
Lincoln sounder and brighter in
tellect framed in a rugged and almost
uncouth personality, among the men
who have risen to high public position,
than that which was at the business
end of the great convention at Chicago.
Mr. Cannon has the happy distinction
of being an universal favorite. He
made no mistakes in what he truth
fully called his oratorical "ramble"
and in its way it was one Of the most
enjoyable features of the convention,
its delicious humor playing like sum
mer lightning over what had been al.
most Of necessity somewhat unevent-
full and sombre aspect Of the proceed
ings up to that time.

4 CHEAT LECTURE.

the Calvary Baptist Church, Willow
street, ON Thursday evening Of this
week. Subject What's the matter

Christian Advocate recently said:
"For magnificent putting OF the
race question from the standpoint Of
the cOlOred man, nothing finer has
been heard on this continent within
recent years than the address given
our Preachers Meeting by DR.. G. s.
Morris pastor Of Baptist church in
this city. For close, positive reason
ing, strong, definite statement. a
grouping and mastery OF both facts
and principles, breadth and beauty OF
thought elegance Of language. and
overwhelming elOquence. this address
easily takes rank as among the few
great OratiOng TO be heard III a life
time. Rarely has our Preachers
Meeting witnessed such scene as
when DR.. Morris reached his per-
grafton. Prof. Up1tiam in seconding
the vote Of thanks, declared that
though he had heard Wendell Phillips

THE GARNET.

The Cabinet changes rendered neces-
sary by the withdrawal Of Attorney
General Knox and Secretary Cortelyou
have been announced, and should give
general satisfaction. Secretary of the
Navy Moody becomes Attorney-Gen-
eral; Victor M. Metcalf, of California
takes the Navy Department, and Paul
Morton, of Illinois, late Of Nebraska
becomes Secretary Of Commerce.
Acknowledgement Moody is well
known, having been prominent in the
House of Representatives. He is an
able and sagacious man and good
lawyer. The most radical and captious
enemy OF the administration will not
find any scent Of the trusts on his gar
ments. Mr.. Metcalf is New Yorker
by birth and a Yale man, and also a
lawyer.
Mr.. Morton is decidedly an addition
to the Cabinet. He has an Inheritance
of ability and of aptitude for the public
service, and has proved his qualities
by a successful career in the railroad
business, in which he has worked up
ward from clerkship to the highest
positions. He formerly acted with the
Democrats. but was never strong
enough Democrat to hurt him much,
and President Roosevelt found him in
good Republican company as Speaker
Cannon's alternate in the Chicago con-
vention.
In this country, where the members
of the Cabinet are the ministers of the
President, not of the Legislature,
Cabinets tend to rearrange themselves
as the administration wax in years.
Often they shape themselves over en-
tirely. Transfers from one position to
another have been common from the
beginning 1t is but natural, and it is
also desirable, that Cabinets should
come into closer personal harmony
with the President, as the years go by.
Sometimes many changes are neces-
sary to this end; Grant had five Secre-
taries of War, four Secretaries Of the
Treasury and four Postmasters-Gen-
eral.
Not infrequently men are made
Cabinet ministers because they have
been rivals for a Presidential nomina-
tion, and are to be placated in that
way. The tendency, when such select
ions are made, sgradually toeliminate
them. There is now no such member
of President Roosevelt's Cabinet. 1t is
a body perfectly in harmony with him
and perfectly in harmony with itself.

PROBABLY no man in modern times
has so impressed his personality upon
nation as has Theodore Roosevelt,
the president of the United States inn
pressed the people of this country. He
is a typical American and because OF
this the sympathies of the people are
with him and in him they have an
Astounding faith. His ability, courage
and honesty are unquestioned and the
friendly feeling of the individual be-
comes an aggregate Of loyalty that en-
braces every section OF the country
Because of this loyalty of the people
he became by common consent months
ago the only candidate of his party for
the presidency, although it was no
secret that many of the prominent pol
iticians Of the country would have had
it otherwise. Hence in coming to-
gether the Republican National Con-
vention became simply ratification
meeting for the expression of the will
the people.

THE Washington Post" has made
some interesting comparisons Of the
battles of the Civil War in the United
States and the battles in the far East,
showing how difficult it is for Ameri-
cans, who are familiar with the thrill
ing history Of the busy five years of our
national experience to become excited
over the stories of the fighting, or APP
palled at the loss Of life and casualties
resulting from the clashes of the Japs
and Russians. We have had accounts
of reckless bravery, stubborn hand-to-
hand conflicts, and thrilling adyen-
lures on sea and land, but when we
stop to consider these from compar-
atiye standpoint they dwindle to mere
skirmishes, judged by the standard of
the great conflicts in the Civil War.
Most authentic reports show that the
severest fighting of the present war
has been on Liaotung Peninsula, at
Vafangow and other points, but the
highest estimates Of casualties in any
one conflict is 5000. In reading ac-
counts of these battles it is well to re-
member that there were $4,000 men
killed, wounded or missing at Gettys-
burg, $4,000 at Antietam, $4,000 at
CHARACTERISTIC, 5000 at Chickamau-
ga, %, 900 at Shiloh, $4,000 at Freder-
icksburg, and $4,000 at Stone River,
while battles and skirmishes in which
5000 or more were killed, wounded or
missing are numbered by the hundreds.
