Logansport Qnd.) Dispatch to the New
York World:
While excavating under an old log
cabin about II miles north of Logans-
port the other day, j. w Olson found a
Jackson penny.
These pennies were issued by Andrew
jackson, President of the United States.
IN 1897, as a sarcastic slam at the Sec
rotary of the Treasury for his slowness
in issuing currency.
Robert Whitsell, coin collector of this
city, states that only few were issued.
and that the coin is very valuable.
It's of the old large copper style, and
on one side is the picture of a tortoise
bearing treasure box on its back.
Around this are the words Executive
experiment. On the other side is a
picture of the Democratic mule, and the
words Industrious predecessor. fol-

The CONTROVERSY ON HYMNS.

The question of what constitutes a
good hymn is interesting many people
just now, since Governor Woodrow Will
son, of New Jersey, has so roundly de-
nounced the Beautiful Isle of Some
where"
The advocates of the so-called Gospel
Hymns and other productions marked
by good deal of sentimentalism, like
the hymn above referred to, can put
forth some pretty strong arguments, as
1t is unquestionable that the singing of
such hymns has been of great benefit to
a large number of people. The melody
and words have appealed to a certain
class as the more dignifed and classical
hymns of the church would never have
done. And because of this, many will
urge that that is good hymn, irrespec-
tive of its metre and composition, that
reaches men and helps their life. On
the other hand, such men as Governor
Wilson contend that such productions.
often no better than jingling rhymes,
are likely to affect men specifically
only, that they decrease the demand for
good music and hymns, that they are
offensive to good taste, and that they
detract from the service of worship.
And it must be admitted that thew
make strong case.
Probably the question will never be
settled, and the only effect of the dis
cussion now prevailing, will be to en-
phasize the difference in views of the
two classes of critics. The truth is,
temperament counts for as much in
hymnody as in other things. People
who are inclined to the emotional and
whose sensibilities are easily stirred.
will always be drawn toward the catchy
music and sentimental hymns, while
others, whose tastes are more severe
and classical and who are less emotion
al, will be offended by such, and demand
those in which the thought and aspira-
ton of the writers find expression in
more dignifed and sonorous verse.

Where Life is Cheap.
Atchison Globe

Atchlson Globe.
One isn't greatly shocked to read of
the loss of many thousand lives by flood
along the Yang-Tse-Kiang, by plague
IN Canton, or starvation on India's
plains. In the crowded Orient, life is
cheap, as most people know. 1t is held
higher in the Occident, of course; at
least in most western countries. But
there are exceptions, it seems. Kip
ling has called Russia the west end of
the Orient, but he is English and preiu-
diced; most authorities count the czar's
domain emong the western countries,
and there life is rather cheap. 1t seems
30, too, in Italy, where grim necessity
forces people to farm the steam-heated
edge of volcanoes with mean DISPOSE
tons; where ignorance makes it diff
cult to fight cholera, and where crime is
organized on business basis. But one
need travel so far afield to find places
where life is cheap. There is our own
land Of the free, and home of the more
or less brave.
we are thinking Just now of the re-
cent disaster at Austin, Pa, where up
wards of hundred lives were snuffed
out without time for a parting prayer.
1t was not as if that were an act of
Providence, an unforeseen catastrophe
that none could stay. More than a year
ago weakness developed in the dam
above Austin which cauaed unaaa;no.a
and which were pointed out in an Illus
trated article in the Engineering News.
There was warning in that, of course,
but the people below the dam didn't |
take it. And, what seems more crimi-
nal, the owners of the dam did nothing
to prevent the tragedy. and when it
came, women and children were the
great sufferers.
There seems no legal way to get at

A GREAT LOSS TO JOURNALISM.

The death of W. E. Curtis, the dis
tinguished newspaper correspondent,
which occurred recently, is a distinct
loss to the literary world in general and
to journalism in particular that will not
speedily be replaced.
A great and observant traveller, his
impressions of the lands he visited and
of the noted people he met, were given
at first hand. He enjoyed the confidence
of many men high in political life, both
in this country and in foreign lands,
and that fact gave his literary produc-
tons additional value. The charm of
his style and his great command of Ian
guage helped to give an unusual popu-
larity to his letters, written from nearly
every part of the globe.
That historical and other inaccura-
cies sometimes appeared in his writings
and to some extent lessened their au-
thority, was but natural, considering
that he wrote on almost every conceiv-
able thing he saw in his travels, and
that oftentimes he was compelled to
write at high pressure.
But in spite of that one drawback Mr..
Curtis writings were illumining and in
structive to many thousands of people
who, but for them, would have had |
very limited knowledge of other lands |
and manners, customs and institutions |
of their people.

The PeTnieiOus Fee System.

Norfolk Virginian-Pilot (Dem.)
Our friends of the Richmond Journal
think it worth while to return to a SUBJ
Ject which little while ago was widely
discussed by the State press. 1t says:
There is a deepseated unrest
against the fee system and the next
Legislature is likely to be called on
to deal with the question:
But in another paragraph of the same
article our contemporary makes this re-
mark:
The fee system is one of the
most pernicious influences in our
whole governmental system, and
has grown so powerful that it has a
considerable controlling interest in
the politics of the State"
And there you are. The people al
lowed the officeholders syndicate to pick
out the legislative candidates, and in
eight cases out of ten accepted them
without even enquiring where they
stood on any public question. The Leg
islature so chosen is as likely to abolish
the fee system as it is to take any other
step hostile to the interests of the close
which dominates the polit-
ical machine in the State. The Ring is
in the saddle, and it is going to ride
over all propositions to limit
the powers or reduce the emoluments
Of its component parts. We consider
any further discussion of the various re-
forms which conditions in Virginia de-
mand as promising the same result that
would be gained by singing psalms to
dead mule, or throwing shavings in the
track of the Car of Juggernaut. We
shall preserve the wise course of the |
little boy over whom the calf had run
nave nothing more to say. If, the peo-
pie can stand it, we canI

Il want to use lime on a sour soil.
Which is best, ground shells, ground
limestone, or burnt lime?" For sweet
ening the soil it is always best to use
lump lime freshly slaked with water.
Ground shells will do very well in large
amounts for permanent value in the
SOIL and ground oyster shells are better
than ground limestone, because they
are pure lime carbonate. But for i'm
mediate effect in sweetening an acid
soil would always use the burnt lime.

1t can not be said too often that the
cheapest good roads-maker is the drag.
If it were not simple, or if it were pat
ented so that slick-tonged agents could
go through the country and sell them

would want one. The wise farmer will
convince himself of their value and act

body else to make him follow a course

The time is at hand when political
bosses, both big and little, will without
hesitation glibly promise the whole
party vote of state to some one or
other of the many presidential candi-
dates now looming up. Apparently
some of them still think that the people
can be delivered like SO many sheep.
Perhaps that was true once in some
states, but today the people themselves
are thinking as never before, and be-
cause they are now doing their own
thinking, they will quite likely decide
matters to suit themselves in this re-
spect when the proper time arrives.

liberty of thought, speech and action is

as any man shrinks from making known
his preference out of fear of some other
