We started at about noon, and that
night were on the Gulf and out of

and. the moon and stars were shining
brightly. The sea was smooth, but
a heavy ground swell prevailed, caus-

REPUBLICAN PARTY is DYING,
SAYS HORACE CREELEYS PAPER;
THINKSIT MAY Be ALL FOR BEST

we who hoped that there would be
clear voice of Americanisn, found in
the words Of Mr.. Hughes a cause for
sadness unlike that found in all that
MIR. Wilson had said and done in the
years of his presidency. We found 1t
there because in Mr.. Hughes word
and purpose we perceived the denial
of the remedy we had hoped for.
Long before the campaign came to
it's close most men realized that no
issue was at stake and no decision
would be had on those questions
which the honor of the country they
loved demanded should find settle
ment Those who had criticised Mr..
Wilson most severely for his hand
ling Of the German affair found
themselves. driven to decide whether
they would Join Mr.. Wilson's German
American foes in supporting Mr.
Hughes or end by supporting the man
whose every act in the foreign field
had been unsatisfactory to them. We
represented his country stood sadly
before the written and spoken words
of Mr.. Wilson'S opponent, who denied
us the remedy we had longed for
hoped for, believed would come.
So much for the past. Looking to
the future, is it not possible even to-
day to perceive that the flte that
overlook the Wing party in 1852 now
threatens the Republican party,
which succeeded to it's estate? The
Whip party died of the effort to swal-
low the Fugitive Slave law; it died of
the effort to face both ways on the
great question Of the hour; it perish
ed because in the presence of great
national crisis it could only talk of
material prosperity, and it was pre-
pared to invite the vote of the slave
holder in the south and the free-soil-
er in the north by an avoidance of
every question that did not concern
the pockets and profit of the voter.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

Salisbury, Conn.,, On Sunday, Nov.
8, about the middle of the day, a
daughter of Mr.. Ashabel Smith, about
four years and a half old, put on a
bonnet and took small pail to go a
few rods from the house for some
water. The house surrounded by
woods, and the child not returning
as soon as was expected, search for
her was commenced. After looking
sometime without finding her. the
anxiety Of her parents began to in
crease and they notified a number of
their neighbors. who continued the
search until night, without finding
her. On Monday morning the ankle
ty Of the parents and of the neigh
bors became great, information that
the child was lost, was circulated to a
great extent, and the number of per-
sons collected to look for her was
increased to $50. No traces of the
child having been found during the
day or the next, which was Tues
day, the number of people was in
creased to near 800, but the search
was as fru1tless as the day before. The
general anxiety now became excessive,
Information Of the fact was extend
cd into the adjoining Massachusetts,
towns and New York and on We'd
nesday morning near 600 people as
sembled at different points in the
ueighborhood with detertnination
to commence a very particular, and
thorough search Of the whole coun-
try adjacent After making proper
arrangements to execute this plan, the
search was recommended and contin-
ued till almost 1 o'clock p. NJ. when
the child was discovered The JOY
OF the parents and others, whose
sympathy had been very strongly ex-
cited can be better imagined than
described. She had been absent in
tho woods three days and three
nights.

Independence Of Poland
Brings Italian Protest

Rome, Nov. 1S-The Italian gov
eminent has joined the other entente
powers in protesting against the &C
ton of Germany in proclaiming Rus
sian Poland an Independent state.
Premier Paolo Bozelli has sent the
following telegram to Premier Sturm-
er, of Russia:
IT heartily associate myself with
the communication addressed to you
from Paris, at the close of the allied
conference by my colleagues, Premiers
BRAND and Asquith,j with regard to
the pretention Of Germany and Aus
tria- Hungary to create d new state
out of Polish territory which they
temporarily occupy The Italian ma
ton has always >nourished the most
sympathetic feelings for the Polish
people and we have full confidence
that the victory of the allies armies
will foil the illusory plan formed by
our enemies in contempt of the law
of nations and conventions in force.
The royal government can only re-
joice at the declarations already made
by the imperial government guaran-
teeing the autonomy Of the United
Polish peoples which has been the
secular ideal of that noble nation"
