with THE Ensign the latest and what
promises to be more successful than
any OF the recent war dramas Nearly
al OF this class of productions have
dealt with the purely military features
OF the Rebellion, but in The Ensign a
new departure is taken, in that a naval
episode, and a historical one at that,
forms the groundwork of the story.
The play is founded on an occurrence
that took place in 1861.
when Capt. Wilkes, of the United States
frlgate San Jacinto, undertook to can
ture the Confederate commissioners.
Mason and Slidell, on the high seas.
Lieutenants Allen and Blythe, Of her
majesty's ship Warrior. stationed at Ha
yana; were secretly instigated by the
English government to prevent Wilkes
from making the arrests. Lieut.. Blythe.
in order to carry out his orders attacked
the reputation Of The Ensign's sweet
heart SO that the American. officer might
be provoked to commit an assault upon
him. In this way . it was hoped that
Capt. Wilkes mightjbe detained by the
Cuban authorities as awitness Of the as
sault for period sufficiently long to
enable Mason and Slidell to escape. Fail
ing in this, Blythe tears down the Ameri-
can flag over the United States consulate
and is promptly killed by The Ensign.
For this the hero is court martialed and
sentenced to death, being only saved by
the president, who himself carries the
pardon GRANTED through the interces-
sion of a little chil1 to the, navy ward
just as The Ensign is about to be
hung to the yardarm.
The play is constructed upon the most
skillful lines. is brimful Of pathos and
thrilling situations; the comedy is of
the most exquisite and refined order and
through it all there runs a strong vein
OF breezy patriotism that cannot fail to
commend it to every class of playgoers.

Patronize Home People.

How can you expect your home merchants, bakers, butchers, print CTS and others engaged in business to prosper and get along in the world if you take your money away to the city and buy what you want? You should remember that the city mcr- chant does not pay taxes, while the home merchant does. Suppose you can get yonr printing done q trinc cheaper in the city than you can at home, how much have you gained i? How much will your city friend do to build up the enterprises you are interested in having fostcrcd in your midst: You or some member of your family may die, get married or move 10 some other country, and your friends throughout the country would remain in hlissful ignorance of the fact were 1t not for your home printers. If you need some article of merchandise which your home merchant does not happen to have in stock, just give him an order for you and then pay him for his trouble. The idea we wish to impress is that by patronizing your neighbors, the money you pay out will be benefit to the community. It will enable your merchants to lay in larger stocks, and sell at q smaller margin, In a word, help them who help you. In this way, and this way only, can you have a prosperous town Elk.

The Country Newspaper.

In no activity has there been more progress during the past twenty years than that of the country news paper.
 There are now hundreds of coun- try wecklics which in editorial abil- ity, mechanical appearance, and all that contributes to inspire respect and command attention are fully abreast of their metropolitan con temporaries. In moral tone, and often Tn editorials they surpass most of the great dailies. In times past the country editor was quite gener ally regarded with half plying contempt as good natured, but chicken hearted chronicler of incon- scquentiaI locals. All this has changed. Country papers as a class Wicld the mightcst influence in the nation. The editors are men of char acter and enterprise, doing more for the community, and for less money, than any other body of workers. One of the principle factors in this wonderful improvement is, in our opinion, organization. County, dis trict, state and national press asso- citations have multiplied and waXed strong, during the past decade es- peciaIly. In the conventions and stated meetings of these bodies cdi- tors and publishers have compared experiences, clarified theIr views, re- ccivcd fresh inspiration, and gone back to their routine work with more respect for their vocation and larger views of the world and their mission therein. When editors in numbers from a score to a thousand meet, the collision of mind sure to ensue knocks the moss of those inclining to fossilizc, infuses fresh ambition and puts on q polish that will not only remain bright through every stress incident to the calling but by reflection freshens up the respective communities in which they wield the ucn.-G ENChanpe.

 Essence of Democracy.

In these days of shifting of party lines, of unrest among the people, of questioning and doubting, it is we'll to study frequently and thor oughly the Democratic creed There was never larger need for knowledge of it, nor more crying demand for following it's principles. The funda- mental article of Democratic faith is that no government should do for the individual what the individual can do for himself. This puts democracy uncompromisingly against paternal- ism under whatever beguiling shape it comes. It arrays Democracy againt socialism, against govern mental dabbling in railway stocks and warehouse certificates, against ecntralization in it's myriad forms and with it's always accompanying evils. Democracy trust, the people. It is opposed 10 the guardian hip of citizens of q republic. The government transgresses its legitimate spl ere when it interferes with private busi- ness or gives financial support Democracy is against class lcgi,la- ton. It opposes "protectiou for protection sake" It opposes Gnan- cial laws enacted for the benefit of the rich. It favors a sufficient amount of the circulating medium to meet the necessities of all the peo- pie. The Democratic creed mdl- cates the belief that the blessings of liberty and self-government are of more value to people than all else. Rightly interpreted it is sufficient for all reforms and all progress. Upon its broad principles of liberty and justices the government will best accomplish its mission of securing prosperity and happiness for its cit izens. Departure from the ancient faith invites danger and distress. Is sues change and men pass away, but the foundation principles of Democ- cracy are ever the same.
