ton that it is today. There never was more eloquent and pathetic sentence ut- tered than this: 'srhermopyi@ had her messenger of death, the Alamo had none." It is only the Anglo-Saxon race that pre- fers deRth to surrender. The victorious le- gions of Napoleon, flushed with their easy victories over the Latin race, flung them' selves on the Anglo Saxon soldiers of Well lington. They expect ed a sure and speedy victory. But again and again they broke in pieces against the solid phalanxes of the English veterans as waves dash against rock. There was no way of conquering such men except to kill them. They knew how to die, but had lever learned to sur render. It was the same brave Anglo Saxon spirit that inspired the heroes of the Alamo.
 THE rain bath is becoming very popular. It is so constructed that the water squirts through many small holes, and strikes the entire body at once. It is a gentle stimu- lant, and does not shock the body as plunge orshower bath. The rain bath is in answer to the demands of those who like the pleasure of a plunge without being shocked. The same principle is found Tn the moral, religious and political world. The moralist dilutes his moral lessons and pours them upon peoplein in gentle stream The moral novelist does not shock ms readers, but gives them gentle shower or morality. The modern preacher does not thunder he'll fire and eternal damnat1on at his congregation, thus soaring and shocK- | ing them, but lets the gentle truths of the | Bible fall upon them like summer shower. | The Populist politician squirts upon his l followers such pleasing principles as gov | erament loans on farm products at 2 per cent, free and unlimited coinage of silver | and enough to go all around and govern
 ment work for the unemployed.
 THE St. Louis Clobe-Democrat thinks St. Luke had the Democrats and the tariff
 bill in view when he wrote: "And they
 ull, with one consent, began to make ex-
 cuses." But let us see. Who was it that
 made these excuses? Who was it refused
 to come to the feast? It was the rich-the
 owners of land, oxen and a wife. When | the poor were invited they came gladly. | Now, let this feast represent the feast oi
 fatness and prosperity that the new tariff
 bill has set before the people. Who is il l refuses to partake of the feast and continues | to grumble3 The rich Republicans whc

 cans reconsider and take back their ex'
 cuses. Let them come in and enjoy the
 bountiful supper. And they will come, 1 Already the New York Tribune has ac.

 their agitation for protection.

REV. MR. BOOTH of Buffalo bears a name that will ever be remembered wherever the drama ia known. It is not strange, there- fore, that his name should lead him to a study of the drama. And after a careful study he has concluded that the higher drama is a means of moral education. He has also written play with good moral, which has been played with success. He believes that if the best people made it a point of attending the theater that the drama would be elevated to suit their tastes; that it can be no more harm to see one of Shakespeare's dramas played than to read it, and in fact the play on the stage is purer than in the book. The theater is not merely place of pleasure, it is a school for the study of art, and it enters the do- main of morals, and can be made a great moral agency for good.
 THE Crockett clan. composed of the de- scendants of Davy Crockett, will hold re- union in Humboldt, Tenn, on September 5. It is well to perpetuate the memory of the hero of the Alamo, one of the most be- roic figures of the early days of the Repub- lie. The sturdy spirit, brave patriotism and undying devotion displayed by the.de- lenders of the Alamo and perpetuated by their fellow countrymen has done much toward making the Republic the great na-
