Newspaper Syndicate on the En-

The Washington Newspaper Syndicate,
which has acquired control of the new
encyclopaedia Dictionary in this territory,
has adopted novel scheme for advertising
and popularizing this magnificent work in
their field.
The syndicate believes that 1,G00 se's

and suburbs, will create widespread com
ment and lead TO the immediate introduce
lion and subsequent distribution of thou
sands more in the shortest possible space
of time. With this in view, il is proposed
TO supply the first 1,00o applicants with
complete sets of this great work at the
nominal price Of SIC Irregular subscription
price S42l; and this upon an initial pay
ment of only 50; the remainder being pay
able in small monthly installments covering
q whole year.
This proposition is liberal, almost beyond
belief, ana it can scarcely be doubted that
these introductory sets viii all be speedily
distributed. The book may be seen and

Grant, in the hour of triumph, as
Corporal Tanner once said, turned to
the leader of the lost cause and said to
him: General, tell your men to take
their horses home with them; they will
need them to do the spring plowing."
This sentiment. springing from the
heart of that Scotch-Irishman, told his
true nature. He had been villified and
wickedly misrepresented in all civilized
sections of the globe; pictured as one
who delighted simply in scenes of car
mage, who had no love for his fellow
men, no regard for anything except his
own ambitions, and yet in that trying
hour his heart instinctively welled up
with the desire that the wasted and
devastated places of the south might be
made to blossom again in the shortest
possible space of time.
The last of the ScOtch-Irish presidents
was Chester Alan Arthur, if the Har-
risons are to be omitted. some claims
having been made in their behalf by
Robert Bonner, president of the Scotch
Irish society. Arthur's father was
BAPTIST clergyman who emigratcd to
this country from the north of Ireland.
He was elevated to the chair upon the
death of General Garfield. The Scotch
Irish qualities We're inherent in him. In
the practice of law, conditions of things
swept him into politics, and his ability
as an orator and debater gave him
ready distinction. The story of his
brilliant career as soldier and states
man ana president are well known to
all. Throughout his career the Scotch
Irish traits manifested themselves
markedly.

soldier. In all Of his campaigns against
the Indians on the frontier, the Eng
lish in 1872, and the Mexican war later,
he won distinction and honor. His cour-
age, religious views and love of country
stood out grandly. The rounding of
his career as president was a deserved
recognition of his great service, quali-
| ties of purity and patriotism.
JIMMIE BUCHANAN.
James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania,

also a man OF great native force of
character and thoroughly imbued with
the sturdy principles of his Scotch-Irish
ancestors. His mother taught him, and
to her he attributed his distinction In
after life. The Buchanans came from
the north of Ireland. and We're humble
but thrifty people.
His profession was law. Taking up

statesman and diplomat, which subse-
quently made him president. His was

Abraham Lincoln, sixteenth presi-

with the Scotch-Irish race. In regard
to this claim an extract from speech

POLK AND TAYLOR.

AS the first president that Tennessee
gave to the United states was Of Scotch
Irish blood, so was the second. James
X. Polk. who took his seat in 1915. The
Polks came originally from the north of
Ireland. The Polk family was promi
nent in politics from the day of their
arrival in North Carolina. The earliest
political visions of the son James can
be traced in their effect upon every step
of an entirely consistent political ca
reer. He was an admirer of Jefferson
and Jackson and bitterly opposed to
autOcratc federalism.
Moving over to Tennessee. young Polk
finished his education, began the prac-
tice Of law, drifted into active politics
in these stirring times. and soon be-
came legislator, governor, congress-
man and president. His Scotch-Irish
character was manifest in his fervid
temperament, quick intellect, ready
speech, strong will, proneness for right
and general conservative actions.
1t is said by historian that the most
brilliant career of any man i'm the white
house was that Of James X. Polk
About his early career were clustered
such notables as White Bell. Cave
Johnson. Catron and the great SOcratic
lawyer, John Marshal. They. with his
first opponent for governor Of the state,
| Newton Cannon, We're of the same race
In this canvass. the latest historian Of
| Tennessee says: Polk opened the cam
paign on his side by an address to the
people Of Tennessee. which was perhaps
| the ahlest political document that had
appeared in this state up To- the time Of
the war"
| Polk's agency in adding the houndless
west to The domain Of the United States
needs no eulogy AT this late day. With
out the Pacific coast. as we have it. the
United States would have been one of
the great nations of the world: with it,
she inevitably must hold at no distant
future AN unrivaled re.eminence.
General Zachary Taylor, of Louis
lana, who was born in 1884 and made
| president at the retirement of Polk in
lSiS. was the next Scotch-Irish occu-
pant of the white house. He was ai-
| mired and hOnOred as military hero.
In the war with Mexico no fighting
was surpassed by that of the southern
volunteers. under the leadership of the
gallant Scotch-l lrshman Zachary Tay-
10y.
His father, Colonel Richard Dick)
Taylor, descended from one of the earl
lest settlers in the old dominion, and
was among the patriots of the revolu-
ton. Zachary Taylor was remarkable
for his hardy courage. His father be-
ing pioneer settler of Kentucky and a
man of military spirit, naturally bent
his on to n soldiers lie. He gave

Uncle Sam will have to do a lot of

ten Of these men who We're honored

claims of the Scotch-Irish Society, Were

Of Scotch-irish ancestry, are Jefferson,

1t is even claimed that Abraham Lin

is the fitting one with which to crown
the wonderful list. At any rate it is a
splendid galaxy, Of which many people
may well be proud.
And now there is n conjunction of
events which makes it absolutely cer-
tain that the tWenty-fourth president

With this Mr.. Watson said he
thought he had talked enough and
proposed that we should eat some

While we were talking Mr.. Wat
son received telegram OF congratu-
lation on an average of every three
minutes. The poor telegraph opera
tor at Thomson has not been worked
so hard in many day.
Mr.. Watson is evidently under the
impression that Mr.. Sewall will not
and should not accept the Demo
cratic nomination when it it officially
rendered him. He did not say this,
but it was easy to see that he thought
that this would be the better course

nation is better than running TO

since the approach of the Democratic

There Is little change in the situation
as to candidates. Bland still has strong
lead, but the possibility Of all sorts OF
,compiicatio s, which may blockade his
way to the coveted prize, have made his
followers anxious, and the talk OF
abrogating the two-thirds rule in his
interest has been revived. There is, Of
course, the natural disposition to crowd
on to the band wagon, but the calmest
observers cannot yet figure out how he
can win. Stevenson is most prominently
spoken of in this direction. To forestall
the gold men, concerning whose plans,
in this regard, there is much mystery,
the silver men intend to hold caucus as
soon as deadlock ueve.ops.
Senator Daniel, who assumed the
duties of presiding officer, is an impress
sive figure, and most eloquent orator
of the old school. He sounded the key
note for silver in ringing speech, but the
fact that he spoke from notes was rather
disappointing to his friends. The silver
leaders in control carried through the
remainder of the program, and silver Is
everywhere in control
