and honorable in the subjugation and
development of the continent.
Nothing could be more At and sig
nificant than the Kentucky home
coming for the sons and daughters
who have gone on so far and wide in
the other commonwealth. and partic-
ularly in the younger states and terri
tories of the west. carrying thither
the same spirit, virtues and traditions
which we're developed by their ances-
tors in the late years of the Eighteenth
and the early years of the Nineteenth
centuries. We are only fairly begin
ming to write the true history of the
growth Of our country, the central and
determining line of which is the devel-
opment of the west and all that is i'm
piled by crossing in force the eastern
mountains. Only within a generation
have even special students grasped
the essential relations of the facts of
that great movement. Underlying
the social amenities of the Kentucky
celebration the deeper meaning of the
Home Coming is the popular awaken
ing to a consciousness of the worth
and significance of that history.

AN INCIDENT OF THE WAR.
Bret EIarte,

Bret Harte,
81 was with Grant'-the stranger said,
Said tho farmer, Say no more,
But rest thee here at my cottage porch,
For thy feet are weary and sore"
81 was with Grant"-the stranger said,
Said the farmer. Nay. no more
I prithee sit at my frugal board,
And eat Of my humble store.
How fares my boy-my soldier boy,
OF the old Ninth army corps?
I warrant he bore him CALAMITY
In the smoke and the battle roarl'
II know him not" said the aged man,
And, as ! remarked before,
was with Grant" Nay, nay, / know"
Said the farmer, SAY no more:
HE fell in battle-I see, alas!
Thou'dst smooth these tidings Ger
Nay speak the truth, whatever II be,
Though II rend my bosoms core.
How fell HEREWITH his face to the foe.
UNFOLDING the flag he bore?
o, say not that my boy disgraced
The uniform that he wore!"
IT cannot tell" said the aged man,
And should have remarked before
That 1 was with Grant-in Illinois
Some three years before the war"
Then the farmer spake him never word,
But beat with his fist full sore
That aged man, who had worked for Grant
Some three years before the war.

pressed his great delight to see the savage

So far as is known no opposition has
developed nor is even threatened to
the constitutional amendment for an
elective railway commission which is
to be submitted to Nebraska voters

wont to declare it impossible under

modification of that instrument are
likely to be fooled, and If other equally
needed amendments had been submit

SAN FRAEo1soos STORY CONTINUED.

SAN FRAECISCOS STORY CONTINUED.
San Francisco has disappeared from
the center of the stage almost as sud
denly as 1t was hurled into that prom
inence, and yet the story of the local
press reveals struggle hardly less
arduous than was required when ca
tastrophe first befell. The excitement
of imminent peril was then a sustain
ing force. and the whole nation was
pouring In assistance.
There could be no sterner test Of
fortitude than the stricken people are
now undergoing in the actual work of
relaying the foundations and rebuild
ing the city. For they have not only
to clear away the ruins, to devise COM
prehensive plans and to provide means
under the most difficult conditions, but
also to bear the heavy burdens, public
and private, OF still providing for an
immense population hurt beyond re-
oovery by self-help. now without the
outside aid that was so universally
forthcoming when the story of earth
quake and fire was new. This would
still be an immense draft upon their
resources, even If they had not the
rebuilding of the city on their hands
and their hands weakened by such
losses. Systematic relief work of
great extent has thus to be maintained
and must continue indefinitely in the
future.
But the city is gaining rapidly
through resumption of its commercial
and Industrial activities. On the one
hand so complete was the destruction
| by fire and on the other so large and
radical we're the changes and so long
the time required for permanent re-
Mobilization, that business had to be-
gin with temporary arrangements.
And as outside emergency relief has
dwindled. the substantial aid of the
business world In financial credits and
all manner of favor and accommoda-
ton has come into play and is a tower
of strength to the courageous spirit
of the people. The resumption of
commerce and business, though not SO
striking upon popular attention. is in
reality as wonderful as the first relief
of the hungry.
The most suspicious fact is the res
olution to rebuild the city on safer
and more modern system, although 1t
requires more time and much tenn
porary sacrifice. 1t demonstrates a
spirit as wise as brave. and is all the
more commendable because the bur-
den is being born uncomplainingly and
with genuine American grit and faith.

BnseIess LamentR lions,
ChlcaEo Chronicle.


During the recent national conference OF
charities and corrections a former assist
ant director of the census declared fatty
that there is no justification In statistics
for the loud lamentation over an alarm
ing increase in crime" He pointed out
that statistics prove the contrary to be
true and that all trustworthy statisticians
concur to that effect Probably he was
right, but he appears to have overlooked
the fact that the lamentation aforesaid is
not based on statistics, but mainly on
popular magazines. This Is quite a diff
ference.

KENTuoKY HOME COMING.

The Kentucky Home Coming"
week is a celebration as interesting as
1t is novel. being a season for the re-
turn and entertainment of the sons
and daughters of the famous state

There was an un- usually good attendance for the first night performance, which gives evil dence of the popularity of the play has been so cleverly dramatized by David Higgins. The play has the ring of the actual in it's incidents and peculiarities of human nature. The story is of the life of a young man made rich by the discovery of iron on the hill-farm he inherited from his foster mother. He meets and loves the daughter of an old southern family. On the eve of his en- gagement he is accused of being of negro blood. The fight to disprove this charge furnished the material for the play, and it is well handled,
 There is a deal of fine sentiment in this play after the parting of the lov- CTS, and the story of 'Cindy Lane fur nishes a powerful undercurrent to the main theme.
 The play was produced last night by an unusually strong cast, headed by Mr. Van Kin2ie, and their excellent work was liberally applauded
 Full of scenic equipment and many pleasing musical features, tending to make the show a flrstclass one and is well worthy the patronage of all theatergoers. It will be presented again tomorrow night, Wednesday matinee and evening. Advance sale of seats now open
