And yer boots pulls on with good tight Squeeze
And you think of yer barefoot days;
When you ort to work and you want to not
And YOU and yer wife agrees

When the green, you know, gifts back IN

Old gait they bum roun' In,
When the Rrouns all bald where the hay-rick
stood,
And the crick's riz, and the breeze
Coaxes the bloom in the old dogwood,
And the green gifts back in the trees.

The time when the green gifts back in the

When the whole tail-feathers O. wintertims

And the sweat 1t starts out on

Stuffed as it il with "chestnuts''
there are one or two touches in Blaine's
latest utterance that are very pathetic.
The most pathetic, perhaps, is his In
ability to understand why 80 many
people think it impossible for him to
be honest OF course it is an exagger-
alton No one really thinks it impos-
sible for Blaine to be honest. But this
fact only makes his belief on the sub
ject the moro pathetic 1t is really
quite touching to think Of the absent
leader in foreign land weighed down
by the sad suspicion that people think
he can not be honest II he tries What
. good many people do think about
Blaine is far less complimentary to
him than the thought with which, In
his sad cynicism, he credits them. II
they thought it impossible for him e
be honest they would look with pity
and forgiveness upon what he has
done. It is because they think he can
be honest II he chooses, and because
he does not choose. that they condemn
him. And il he wants 70 know why

SOUND DOCTRINE.
Mr.. Bayard's Deflniti0n OF the Rights 81
NaturalIsed Citizens Abroad.

Mr.. Baysrd's DehnitiOn OF the Rights OF
NaturalIsed Citizens Abroad s3
Secretary Bayard has taken a sound
position in the case of the naturalized
American citizens of French descent
who were impressed for military serve
ice on their return to France.
The law on the subject is reasonably
clear. There are cases wherein for
eigner who returns to his native land
after having been naturaliSed here
may be there held to military obliga-
tons incurred before he left home for
the United States But he can not be
held for military service when such
prior obligations do not exist-that is.
when the claim or demand has its
origin after American citizenship has
been acquired.
AS rule. the rights Of a naturalized
American citizen on returning to his
own country are the same as thpse OF
q native-born citizen. and are entitled
to the same protection from this Gov
eminent. The arrest and detention Of
the former for military service would
be regarded by the State Department
at Washington as substantially the
same as the arrest and detention Of
the latter. Nor are the naturalization
papers of citizen open to impeach-
ment by foreign Government They
must be accepted by such Government
as binding certificate Of American
citizenship-at least until pronounced
fraudulent or irregular in this country.
These are the views maintained BY
Secretary Bsyard. in the diplomatic
correspondence with the French Gov.
eminent just sent to the Senate. IN

OUR COMING NAVY.


May We'll He Proud.
The Inauguration of Democrats
President dated the revival of the
United States navy after twenty years
of eclipse. The Yorktown, one of tho
new steel cruisers provided for in the
act of Congress four years ago. has
been launched: and the work Of CONS
pleting her be vigorously prosecuted.
She makes the fourth vessel IF the
kind now finished and in process u
construction-the Atlanta, Boston and
Chicago preceding her-aud three.
and then two others will shortly fol-
low. All these are to be steel-built; Sd
as to combine the greatest measure OF
strength with the least weight They
are not heavy-plated war-ships or
floating batteries, but fleet cruisers.
and are to have speed of fifteen to
twenty miles an hour-the de sign be-
ing that they shall be used in time OF
war to run down. and capture or de.
stroy an enemy's merchant ships. and
do some very effective firing at long
range. They would not be match
for the heavy-armored war ships OF
the British or Italian navy, but they
will be able to avoid them; and leave
them out of sight in a contest OF
speed. The Yorktown's armament
will consist of six six-inch rified
breech-loading guns. firing bolt OF
one hundred pounds. and eight rapid
firing smaller guns
The appropriations made between
1884 and 1887 for naval purposes
amounted to over $50. 600. 000-and
when the money shall have been ex-
pended we will have sixteen first-class
steel cruisers, five monitors for harbof
defene, two heavy-armorcd war-ships
and two torpedo boats-in all twenty
five new vessels. built in modern style.
and armed with the most effective
ship-guns. The eight-inch rifles on some
of the large cruisers will be thirty feet
long, and be able to fire a bolt of 500
pounds weight through twenty inches
thickness of iron or steel-plating with
three feet of oak behind it. These
TWENTY-FIVE new vessels, all to be COM
pleted and put in commission before

will constitute no mean show of navy.
But they are to be only the beginning.
Profiting by the facts which the actual
working of them will reveal. the Navy
Department will recon mend the build
ing of thirty-five additional cruisers,
ten additional heavy-armored vessels
and ten additional monitors. ESQ thai

that the latter spends more hours
in studying bills which are semitic him
by Congress than his predecessors
spent minutes. He takes nothing for

surance as to the merits of bill until he
has given it study himself Every
bill laid before him must be accom-
panied by the reports made upon it in
each House of Congress and BY all the
information touching it that can be
furnished by the Executive Department
within whose jurisdiction it comes.
If in his opinion it is all right he
signs it; If not all the influence of the
Capitol can't stop his veto. He usually
keeps well up with Congress in his
work upon the bills. and has
them signed or vetoed early
in the ten days allowed him
BY the constitution for their
consideration after their receipt. o.

cases that have bothered Congress, but

The President continues to STAND
like a rock between the peoples money
and the pension raiders Its shame
that the reckless passage by Congress
of private pension bills should impose
ON the President so much care and
labor: The average Congressman Ike
the average man, finds it hard to say
no to the pitiful appeals Of poverty
stricken constituents, who appeal fof
aid; and SO, instead of manfully giving
them something out Of their own
pocket, he tries to saddle them on tho
United States Treasury. Uncle SAINTS

over.
The President, having 4 rather pro.
safe regard for his oath Of office; siid
an memorable sense Of Justice. still
keeps his hand firmly at the Treasury
gate. A few weeks ago he returned to
the House of Representatives nine bills
with Is many vetoss Some Of the
applicants were widows In apparent
poverty. one of them even the widow
of a soldier Of the war Of 1912. Every
one of the messages IS marked by some
pithy statement showing that how
ever much the President may sympa-
thize with an applicant. his sense OF
public duty is his first consideration.
