From Nicaragua.

BluefeIds, Nicaragua, Aug. 22.-
The insurgents started from Granada
today to carry their campaign TO the
Madriz capital, Managua, which it is
believed here now will soon be in the
hands Of Gen. Juan Estrada, who is
already being proclaimed here as the
saviour of his country. There Is
some doubt whether Gen. Estrada will
be made president, on account OF the
numerous cnmitics aroused and the
bitterness developed during the long
campaign. 1t is confidently predicted,
however, that if the general is not
made president, one of bis brothers
surely will be placed at the head Of the
government. 1t is taken as a matter
of fact here today that Managua will
fall. Madriz has fled. Granada and
the town Of Tipitapa are both in the
hands of the Insurgents. Masaya Is
expected to be evacuated by the Madriz
troops today Reports from Tipitapa
indicate that the insurgents now are
meeting with practically no resistance.
The Madriz forces are becoming de-
moralized and rapidly are disorganlz-

The brutality Of some policemen Is
occasionally brought to the light.
The police Of Paterson, \. j., are
charged with causing indirectly the
death of Oscar Goldstcin, two years
old, whose body was found yesterday
in the Passaic river. Oscar wandered
away from his home ON Tuesday last.
Three children found the baby on
Tuesday, few hours after it had
wandered from home. The baby was
crying and they took ii to police head
quarters. There, according to the
story told by the three children, Il
policeman in q gruff voice ordered
them to take the child back to the cor
ner where they had found it, and 10
leave it there. The children, greatly
frightened, did as ordered. Oscar, it is
presumed, wandered along river street
two blocks, where the street ends ut the
river, and tumbled over the bank. An
hour later the father appeared at Police
Headquarters, but he was told that no
lost child had been brought there or
reported

ENUMERATION FOR SHERMAN.

At Sulphur, Okla, on Saturday
night the committee appointed by the
House Of Representatives TO investigate
Indian land affairs and the McMurray
contracts, and which has been inyesti-
eating the Gore bribery charges, issued
the following statement"
The committee has heard and care
fully considered all Of the testimony
submitted, and it is unanimous in the
opinion that there is and was no war
rant for any person to use the names
Of Vice President Sherman and Senator
Charles S. Curtis in connection with
any improper relation with any Indian
contract whatever.
The investigation has not been con
cuded McNlurray will continue hi:
testimony today.
Senator Gore, in a statement sent tc
the committee, and which the commit
tee gave out, and announced that II
commended, said in part;
Neither the name Of Vice President
Sherman nor Senator Curtis was men,
toned by me on the floor Of the Senate.
That the name of either Of these parties
was alluded to by Mr.. Hamon was
steadfastly withheld from the public un,
til this invest CATION began.
No public mention Of their names
was ever made, either directly or ndl.
rcctly, by me until was required and
Obliged to do So, testifying Us "A witness
under oath and detailing the CONVERSE
ton which occurred between Mr.. Ham
on and myself. ! then made formal
protest against Introducing their names,
but the committee in the proper pur-
suit OF its duties, required me to make
a full answer Without reservation.
Their names were disclosed not with
any view of incuIpating them nor with
any view Of suggesting guilt, but merely
in order that the truth, and the whole
truth might be related with reference to
the details Of the conversation on the
question.
Il am sure that in the court Of public
opinion no judgment or verdict has
been returned either against the vice
president or Senator Curtis on account
of the misuse OF their names IN the
manner above referred to. -

THE UNITED MINE WORKERS.

With the treasury OF the organiza-
Lion virtually bankrupt, and its presi-
dent and executive board virtually dis
credited by the delegates, the special
convention Of the United Mine Work
ers of America adjourned at 1:3O
o'clock Saturday morning at Indiana
polls, Ind, after an all-night wrangle,
during which one delegate was injured
in fight due to hot argument. 1t is
estimated the convention cost the or
ganization $4,000 in ten days.
The substitute for the report of the
special committee, offered by Delegate
William Green, of Ohio, which Presi-
dent Lewis yesterday ruled out Of order,
which ruling was reversed by the
convention, was finally adopted after
hours OF acrimonious debate between
the two factions, one of which, led by
President John D. Walker, Of the
Illinois district, opposes President
Lewis.
The substitute report, which was
adopted, with two amendments, pro-
vides for an assessment OF 81 q week

ment OF all strikes; the dismissal of

Bridgeton, N. j., Aug. 22:-Potato

MONDAY EVENING, AUG. -

ACCORDING to adyiccs from Wash
ineton, another terrible blow was dc
livered Speaker Cannon today when 1t
was allowed TO become known that his
Services are not desired" by the re-
publican congressional committee IN
the coming campaign and that he will
not be given any speaking dates. The
statement was made by republican,
leader, who profcsSed TO have positive
knowledge that C;tnnon's services have
not been and will not bc solicited by
the national republican congressional
committee His name was SAID to have
been omitted from the list OF speakers.
In answer to the suggestion that Mr..
Cannon might receive many direct m
yitations TO speak and that, III response
to them, he would be u busy factor III
the campaign. the opinion was cN-
pressed that this possibility is not con
sidered likely to upset the committee :
plans. The reason given was that the
speaker, in his Kansas speeches and III
other strains, is devoted TO the policy
of an open fight on insurgents. Hot
shot for all who dared oppose the regu-
lars seems to be his programme, 1t was
explained. The fact that Representa-
tiyes Walter !. Smith, Of Iowa, and
William E. Humphreys, OF Washing
ton, two OF the most popular OF the
regulars, have deserted Cannon goes
far to strengthen the belief that he can
not get the support Of u majority Of
his party i'll the new Congress for
speaker. Smith was member OF Cam
mons personally conducted committee
on rules. He is leading member OF
the important committee on appropr'a-
tions and has been one OF the leaders
in the House. He is Il candidate t."
succeed Cannon, and all the present
indications are that he will be Il big
figure in the fight, providing the next
House is republican. Since Thomas
B. Reed left the speakers chair It's oc-
cupant has been man from the west.

Ey-CIOWN IN WORkHOUSE.

Thinking of the days when his serv-
ices rs a clown and acrobat brought
him 81 900 a week, Handsome
Harry" Mylettc was sent to the work
house yesterday by Magistrate Nash in
the FIatbush court Mylette had been
an inmate Of the Kings County Aims
house for two years. but wandered
away on Thursday night and was
picked up by Patrolman Mclean.
Years ago Handsome Harry was
the star clown of the Barnum Il Bailey
circus. 'Tody" Hamilton almost ex-
hausted his wonderful stock Of adiec-
tives in praising the feats Of the clown.
One night, before President Garfield
and other distinguished spectators,
Handsome Harry" attempted to jump
over three elephants. He fell and in
jured his spine. He continued bis
work, but his injury had robbed him
OF his former clevcrncss, and after
Barnum's death he driftcd out of the
show business and went down hill.
On Thursday night he started on one
of his periodical sprees. Mclean saw
him raising a disturbance and swinging
his crutch at pedestrians. Handsome
Harry" told the magistrate that he was
ffty-five years old, that he had Travelled
over the world and had made king and
citizen alike laugh at his antics. Mag
istrate Nash was inclined to be mercful
but the police said the former clown
was a hard case New York Tribune.

ON LOUD TALKING.

The Age directs the especial atten-
ton of the pulpit and the people to
the discouraging habit of Colored men
and women of loud talking in public
places, in the streets and in the cars
The pulpit, we are sure, is not afraid
to speak out against the rudeness of
such conduct, nor fear to say plainly
that loud talking and boisterousness,
in many instances, explain why SO
many Negroes are Objectionable in pub
lie resorts. The Age is not seeding
to close up everybody's mouth. We are
simply anxious that the mouth that
talks the most shall open at a less
convenient angle in the future than
in the past Whispering is not at all
times audible, and is sometimes ex-
asperating, yet in public places it is
more to be desired and more easily
tolerated than the whoops and war
crys so common among us. In re-
spect of these painful observations,
there is too small a difference in the
public conduct between the trained
and the unframed, the educated and
the uneducated. Both talk out and
/ both talk much; too much.
The women particularly ought to be
very careful not only in the manner
of speech but in the character of con-
yersation. Unbecoming conduct in
woman is pitiable and very aggravat-
ing indeed Too often one may tell
without turning the head, whether sew
eral women in a store, or a car, or in
the streets, are white women or col
ored women. Lord, chile"-that is
the pass word and the high sign; the
jabbering that follows Enthusiastically
identifies milady. Not only in re
spect of loud talking and smiling that
may be heard a block ahead, or behind
but in general demeanor, there is vast
room for improvement, and heaven
knows the time for it is upon us
There is no need, for example, of get
ting blue in the face at every passen
ger on a street car simply because we
The forum. [volume] (Springfield, Ill.) 1904-192?, 1910-11-26

are all riding in the same direction.
Why enter a car looking like the sol.
diers who had been at war three days
and three nights with the imps and
to whom even thoughts we're painful?
Look pleasant Show your raising,
and wherever you are, be courteous.
Humility and courtesy are priceless
treasures. We all may possess them.
If you must laugh, don't alarm the
city If you must talk, don't imagine
that everybody wants to hear why you
don't move to Harlem, or how you
really despise your pastor, or what
you said to the gas man, or what
might be your opinion of Reno, the
asylum of the rich and the unhappy.
BE a gentleman. Be a lady. Neither
term means loud noise or fancy dress
ing. We may win by behavior often
where demands are unheeded. Remem-
Der that from your conduct Time is
writing the minutes of an entire race.

And this may be applied every
where, nearly
