Confidence Men at Work.

Confidence men got in their
work on an unsuspecting old
man at the depot this morning
and fleeced him out of $25. Just
what their game was we are UNI
able to state, as the particulars
were sent back by Conductor
IO'Neal from tie Lincoln train
in a telegram saying that two
men, described as one short and
stout built and the other tall,
had fleeced a passenger at the
depot here just before the train
left for Lincoln. No further
particulars were given and no
strangers answering that de-
scription could be located here.

Death Of Marcus Alcnzc Han.

The death of this great am
wonderful man took place in
Washington City yesterday at
6:30 p. m. He was born in New
Lisbon, Columbia County, Ohio,
September 24th 1887, and was,
therefore &c years, 4 months,
and % days old at his death.
In his death the United States
has lost one of its most able and
influential statesman, possess
ing energy and power of organ
ization to a remarkable degree,
and while we condemned his
political methods, we could but
admire the ability that could
turn defeat into victory. He
knew no such word as fail, and
his party owes his name a debt
of gratitude that should ever
keep his memory green in the
annals of his party.
Just who the Legislature of
Ohio will name as his successor
is not now known, but while the
State of Ohio is filled with men
who are always ready for place
and power, they have no second
Marcus A. Hanna to take his
ploce in the Senate of the Uni
ted States. They may send a
man to occupy his late seat, but
it will only be in form.

Inc directors and patrons OF
the four school districts Of Cal
houn township held a meeting
yesterday afternoon at the Cal
hsun school house for the pur-
pose of discussing the advis-
ability of establishing a new
sub-district or to try the town
ship graded school plan, which
has worked with marked success
in several sections of Iowa.
This plan is being successfully
worked in Spring Valley town
ship, Monona county, and there
is at Moorhead a township
graded school that is giving the
children in the country the same
educational advantages as are
enjoyed by the children in the
towns. At the meeting yester-
day the question was pretty
we'll discussed, Supt. Brainard
of Logan and Prof. Blodgett of
the Logan schools being pres
ent. The sentiment seemed
favorable to the township
school plan and it is probable
something definite will be done
in that direction by the school
patrons of Calhoun township.
In the march of civilization the
little district school is destined
to give way to the township
graded school when it will not
be necessary for the farmers to
move to town in order to give
their children an education. The
township plan is advantageous
both from the point of economy
and the results that are OBJ
tanned from it.

Discharging TOrpedOes.

Well, in every battleship. cruiser and torpedo
boat there tubes, like many large gun
barrels. built into the ship. some above. but
mostly below the water. and from these tubes
the torpedoes are discharged at the enemy s
ship. A small charge Of cordite or compressed
air. at pressure OF 500 pounds more to the
square inch shoots the torpedo out of the tube
along guiding bar. which directs it until well
clear of the ship. When it leaves the guiding
bar the propeers get to work and the projectile
is off. straight bullet, to the target at which
1t has been aimed.
The original Whitehead torpedo had speed
OF eight knots hour and outside range of
quarter of a mile; the torpedo Of to-day-and

be adjusted from the coming tower of ship
and discharged by simply pressing electric

There is heavy. quivering shock, a column
of water is sent high above the decks, there is
a sicky smell of explosives, and that is all that

DIR. George r. Parkin, representing the Rhodes
Scholarship Commission. who arrived from OK
ford University yesterday TO arrange for the pre-
liminary examinations of candidates for the
scholarships, which to be held at various
places on April 13, said to-day:
1T is the desire of the scholarship commission
ers that the Rhodes scholars enter Oxford as
quietly and uncstentatiously possible. just as
other students do Last year the announcement
was made by mistake that two applicants from
one of the States had been awarded scholarships.
The amount Of talk about them would almost
wreck any young fellows college career. mean
by that the extraordinary descriptions of their
attachments that were circulated.
81 do not think greater good could be done
to further the interests of the Rhodes scholars
than to arrange a conspiracy Of silence in regard
to them. If all mention of them could be re-
strcted to publishing list of them. that would
be best of all. The less said about them until
they have established a position at oxford the
better for themselves. New York Sun.

AS long as slavery existed in this country
the government and people were frequently
and severely censured by European critics
for tolerating and maintaining the system.
AS no defense could be made of it there
was nothing to do but to bear in silence
criticisms which were well founded and
deserved. AS African slavery did not pre-
vail in Europe our critics could throw all
the stones they wanted to. They did not
live in glass houses.
For the first year or two after the Phil
ippine islands came under American con-
troll. while the natives were still i'm re-
bellion, it was necessary to use vigorous
restore order. At no time was the United
States the aggressor. nor did the troops
resort TO brutal methods The war was
forced on us by the natives. and they were
not pursued or prosecuted a hairs breadth
beyond the line of pacification. While the
again found much to condemn i'm our
treatment of the Filipinos. and a good deal
of unnecessary sympathy was exploited
over their alleged cruel treatment.
Now the situation is different To use a
vulgar phrase. 1.-The shoe is on the other
foot" Slavery was long since abolished
and We are working out the penalty imposed
by divine justice in trying to make amends
for generations of slavery by doing what
we can to make the negroes worthy of
freedom Peace prevails practically through
out the Philippines. and the people are CO.
operating with the United States in es-
tablshing stable government and American
izing the islands. But at best two
European powers whose people formerly
criticised the United States are hav-
ing trouble with their African colonies, and,
If all accounts are true. are practicing
cruelties and barbarities far worse than
anything ever charged against us. Bel
GUM and Germany are undep fire.
A few days ago representatives of three
different American denominations having
missions in Central Africa called on Sec
rotary Hay in Washington and described
affairs in the Congo Free State That
country is under the sovereignty of Leo
pold H. King of Belgium. 1t has an esti-
mated area of 100000 square miles, about
twenty-five times as large as Indiana, and
a native population variously estimated at
from 100000 to 100000. That the Congo
State should be called Free is an un-
accountable misnomer. 1t is under the
control Of one OF the most arbitrary aud
