The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1883-12-19
The Author of America"

Yesterday afternoon Rev. s. F.
Smith. of Newton, gave a very in
teresting address at the Boston Bap-
fist Bethel, in which he related his
experience among missionaries of
Asia, having just returned from that
country. DR.. Smith will be remem-
bered as the writer of our national
hymn, "America," which he wrote
in 1882 while a student at Andover.
He was born in Boston at the West
End, O ,tober 81, 1908, and con-
sequently will be Is years old
this month. The hymn was first
sung at a convention Of Sunday
schools at Watersville, Me-, June,
1885, and again the next year at
Winslow. On June 20, 1885, it was
published for the first time in the
lions Adrocdte, and since that time
it has been sung in every village
and hamlet in the country. DR..
Smith also wrote the hymn com
mencing with the words, 1.-The
Morning Light is Breaking" and in
the course of his address he stated
that while visiting a mission OF Tele-
COOS in Asia he heard the hymn
sung, part of the congregation sing
ing in English and the rest in the
native language.-BOstOn GZOLe.

Moreover, all but the lower classes in England are gradually yielding to an ,n- sldious relaxation and Oriental luxury analogous to that of the Romans lus, be- fore the fall of the empire. During the present generation England has tiinched every time she has been brought 10 a fighting issue with any nation of anything like her own size. If ever nation was bound in honor to go to war it was Eng land when she plighted her word to pro- tect Denmark against Prussia and Austria in iSoj. If England had been consisten, to her traditions she would have fought Russia in IS77, and again France in 1870. when French bondholders and u.urers forced France to seize one of the guiding reins in Egypt. England's antipathy to hitting anybody of her own weigh, forced her into an artihcial arrangement, with

r Baron Coleridge they recognize a noble type of an arissocracy they will respect, from whatever country and from what ever quarter of the world it may come an aristocracy of intellect.
 Baron Coleridge is a jutist of the ideal type. He is an eminent lawyer. an elo- ouent advocate, a spo,less judge. The fame he achieved al the bar is only eclipsed by the respect and honor he has won on the bench. And the admirable structure he has raised in his professional career has for its foundation a mind en- dowed with noble sentiments. lofty ideas and liberal principles.
 Did Baron Coleridge's presence. his calm dignity and unassuming words sug- gest to any mind a comparison between our own judiciary and that sf England Did any one recall the scandals that dis figure the history of the American bench Judges made by party machinery engi- neered by ward politicians! Judges who speculate in "puts' and calls and own stock in corporations which come before them as litigants. Even the su- preme court made an article of dicker for funds to aid the election of presiden, of the United States.
 Then the failure of justice in this coun- try-did that occur to any of Baron Col eridge's audience. Bid any one recall the action of our judges in the election fraud of 1876; the trial of the star.route thieves, the farce now going on at AL bany in the so-ealled Sessions trial. and the general escape of all republican of- hcial thieves from punishment
 Much as we condemn the English sys- tenn of government in most of its features, we are free to admit that in the character of the judiciary and the enforcement of justice against all offenders we might with advantage take pattern from our English cousins

 .a contemporary who apparently has not given the subject much thought. ln- weighs agains, the practice ot ladies as. suming their husbands titles with the prehN of 7" Mrs" Alter saying that 1t is ridiculous for a lady to sign herself Ms. " John or" William Smith, 1t remarks In our opinion it is still more riduculous when she affixes her husbands title. and. as II often happens. two titles, as Mrs. General Jones, or Mrs. Captain Smith. . If the writer of the above has ever been in a mixed assemblage where lady was announced he must surely confess ,ha, the stating of the husbands title in con- nection with her name showed the iden- tity of the lady in one word more com pletely than could be done with fifty of explanations. It may sound absurd ,o call lady general or captain. but i, is useful custom, and as such should not be discontinued.

At the age of ,hlrty-two, after twelve years service. actual or potential. the German soldier forms part of the landsturm. and as he will now be only required te protect his own home. he is not separated from any one. It is only in connection with his three first periods of service that he figures on the great national monument, and 10 the German ot sentimental cast the representation of the sufferings to which he IS subjected can scarcely be en- couraging.

State Fair.

The state fair which closed in Little Rock last week was as much of success as any of its predecessors. The displays made were very eredi,able, bur the visit or could gain from the meagre exhibi- ton but a shadowy idea of the vas, re- sources of our state. The agricultural element displays lack of interest in these annual exhibitions which is not easily explained. Until the farmers, the fruit growers, the stock raisers of the state manifest an interes, and place on exhbi- ton their best products the Arkansaw state fair will not serve the purpose for which it is designed or rehec. ered, on the state.
