The Man Who First Put the Star Span
gled Banner" in Type.
| At the recent celebration in Baltimore
of the seyenty-ffth anniversary of the
bombardmento of Fort McHenry and the
composition by Key of The Star
Spangled Banner" was present Samuel
Sands, who is probably the Oldest
| printer living, and who, while printer
in the office of the Baltimore American,
in 1874, first put that song in type from
the authors original manuscript and
distributed 1t through the streets Of
that city. This fact and the other one
that in 1885, in the first campaign of
William Henry Harrison, he had pub
lished Wing campaign paper, the
Freeman's Banner, led him to ask per-
mission during break III the industrial
parade to pay his respects to President
Harrison, but the chairman of the occa
sion refused to allow him to ascend the
platform, not recognizing that ne was
probably the only person in that vast
throng present with any personal con-
nection with the events being honored.
Mr.. Sands went to his trade at the age
of eleven years, and, escaping the GUS
tomary 'sdevil's" duties, was put at once
to learn "the case," standing on pile
of empty cases to reach his work. At
sixteen he was foreman of the Office.
During his career he has published a
number Of papers, including several
political sheets, He was always an
ardent Wing, and for many years secre.
tarY of the state central com mlttee OF
that party in MARYLAND. During the
rebellion he was an enthusiastic union
lst, and through, most of it the editorial
writer of the Baltimore Clipper. For
nearly fifty years he published the
American Farmer, one of the earliest
Of agricultural papers in this country.
and with which he maintains still a
nominal connection, it being now con-
Quoted by his sou. He is 1.-The only
printer in his city who has been Presi-
dent of the Journeymsn ans aud later
president Of the Employing Printers
associations. Mr.. Sands is nov IN
his ninetleth year, enjoying excellent
health, his mental faculties little
dimmed, though his sight is failing. In
recent letter to the Baltimore Amer
lean lie states that he remembers hear
ing distinctly the bombardment, though
he didn't see "the bombs bursting in
air." He alone of the compositors re-
manned in the Office, being too Young to
60 with the others into the trenches,
and this circumstance led to his name
being linked honorAbly and historically
with the immortal song.

dict that. during the next four years,
silver will enhance in price, the i'm
portstion of foreign lead will cease,
the policy of protection to home in
dustry will be SO greatly strengthened
that foreign powers will begin to
adopt it for themselves, and the Re.
public will enjoy more prosperity
than at any time heretofore. While
this is going on, the rights of Ameri-

DISGUISED ENlGRANTS.

that it would be to our advantage TO
station an agent at some point along
the Short Line to induce these peo-
pie to come here and take a look a,
this region; and be urges the TINES
to advocate this.
We hardly believe that this would
be prudent. People who have failed
to find suitable openings in Oregon
and Washington could hardly he ex-
pected to be satisfied with this region
though it is a veritabls garden
spot"-unless they were gratuitously
presented with title deed to a mil
lion. dollar mine Immediately on ar
rival. And even then, they might
gfowl because the ore was not al.
ready run into fine bullion, so that
they could get the returns without
days delay. Besides, people OF the
GLASS above referred to usually spend
what money they bring with them in
looking about; and do not take the
back track until they are Financially
''broke." They could therefore
hardly be expected to prove desir-
abls acquisitions.
We are therefore of the opinion
that it is best to allow them to return
East. In time the stream OF immi.
gratios, will flow this way, and we
will get the pick Of it, instead of the
"refuse."

KANSAS WANTS NO ADJOURNED
SESSION

The EAGLE does not propose to go tc
the length of calling the present general
assembly at Topeka ''fool legislature,
nor shall we say any unseemly things.
Experience has shown us that such eff
forts are lost upon the body of the peo-
pie. However, we will state as matter
of mere dry duty, that the present legis-
lature is adding hundreds of thousands
of dollars to the annual expenses Of the
people of this state. They have added
new officers unenumerated, raised sal
aries instead of lowering them, incurred
extraordinary expenses, and now pro-
pose an extra or adjourned session to
discuss the question of diseased cattle IN
Kansas. An adjourned session of the
legislature can mean but one thing,
and that thing, 'boodle." Gentlemen
may explain and dwell upon it ever SO
much, but the fact that somebody has
got to '.bleed' remains. The interests of
Kansas are not very diversified, but what
few she has have been in jeopardy every
day since the legislature has been in ses-
sion, through proposed legislation. It's
too bad, but we can suggest no remedy.
The real needed legislation of Kansas
would not consume more than four or
five days of earnest work annually.
Forty-five days of each session is en-
ployed in cooking up expenses for and
outrages upon the people. The people of
Kansas firing of this thing some years
ago, forced biennial instead Of annual
sessions, but already each sue
ceeding legislature is proposing
an extra session, an adjourned
session or an amendment to the
constitution allowing them more and
longer sessions, or something of that
stripe. 1t would be no bad thing should
Kansas happen to elect governor who
would Systematically veto all bills pro-
viding for additional expenses and all
bills outside of state insti-
tutions and all special enactments clearly
unconstitutional upon their face. But
we only started to say that the people Of
Kansas do not want any adjourned term
Of legislation and that SO far as the
EAGLE is concerned it will lend its feeble
help in downing any man who votes for
such vicious proposition.

TRAVELLING IN PERSIA,

When we enter Persia we are in the
poor mans paradise-a country where
existence is possible on I'D a day, where
meat costs Id pound, and bread a quar-
ter as much in ordinary times; where a
fowl may be purchased for Cd, a part
ridge or wild duck for 2d; where a SER
viceable pony can be had for a e5 note.
and valuable thoroughbred for $50:
where a servant can be hired for SIS a
month and his ratiOns. you can feed a
horse upon Sd day. In most of the
large cities a house can be rented for
from go to $50 year, and all the
necessaries of life are to be had at the
very cheapest rate. The very mules up
on which we are to march to the capital.
each of which will carry load of $50
pounds, are hired at the rate of Cd a
day; and yet from this small sum
the muleteer, if he be fortunate,
will obtain good profit. The
beasts are fat. there is plentiful
heritage for the first five stages, and a
handful of barley and so pounds of cut
straw is all that the mule will get for the
other six days journey. and each day
/ the mules will march their twenty or
twenty-five miles, and go merrily along
under the 300-pound load, for the great
paCk-saddles can not weigh less than 20
10 so pounds. while the load itself is sell
dom less than $50, and they will steadily
maintain their pace at an average of four
miles an hour, save in case of mountain
passes. storms, swamps and the numer-
Gus contretemps incidental to eastern
travel. The pack-saddle is a very import
ant part of the mules equipment Save
when be is curry-combed, the pack
saddle never leaves him. day or night;
it supports the load and acts as his
clothing, for, however severe the
weather may be, the hardy Persian mule
gets no other. OF course. the pack
saddle is of the most solid con-
struction; its high peak towers at least IS
inches above the withers of the animal.
