Here ls a good one for Morton: The
local elections in the state Of New
York this spring show a falling off in
the republican vote, which is attributed
to the Rliner liquor bill passed by the
recent republican Legislature. 1t is
claimed that this bill satisfied neither
the liquor dealers nor the prohibition
element, and that both classes are
Furnishing the republicans for enactine
it. The situation is deemed a little
perilous for republican success in that
state this fall unless Governor Morton is

ception of the duties of American citi-
zenship far beyond his years. "One of
the highest duties of an American to
perform is the conscientious discharge
of the duties of American citizenship"
was his opening statement. The spirit
of love of country was exemplifed by
reference to the gallant fight made by a
handful of Swiss into the solid Prussian
ranks. An intrepid leader invited death,
because the sacrifice was demanded in
the cause of liberty. OF the same mind
was Patrick Henry when he aroused the
nation with his memorable words, give
me liberty or give me death" Henry
Clay said: 'I'd rather be right than
president Master Baldwin renewed
the demand of Americans when he said :
'Every man must be free to worship
God according to the dictates of his own
conscience. and 20 cast his ballot for
who is his personal preference. This
liberty We have inherited from our
fathers, and it is our duty to leave it
unimpaired to our posterity. He re-
ferred to our corrupt legislatures and
boss rule. He believed it was the duty
of every American citizen to inform him
self on the questions of the day. The
ballot is gigantic power for either good
or evil, and 1t is criminal to neglect its
duties. Next month occurs the state
election. If our duty as voters is prop
erly done the various positions will be
filled with true patriots. He urged the
| e -
exposed the danger from the stayathome
voters, and charged that because of this
many of our great cities are today under
boss rule. He closed the subject by
stating that voters must not be misled
by partisan zeal, and concluded his ora
tion with touching address to his
classmates. Master Baldwin shows a
comprehension of the conduct of politics
surprising in one so young, and an in
formation thousands of men do not pos
sess who have had vested right to vote
for years.

PATRIoTIc GRADUATES.
Essays and OratIons Reveal Their Love
of Country.

Between 800 and 900 people assem-
bled at Armory hall Saturday night to
listen to the commencement exercises of
The Dalles public schools for 1896. A
class Of nine had successfully finished
their long course of study. and with the
ample education furnished by our bene-
ticent government by means of the free
public schools, were pronounced fitted
to enter the turmoil of the business and
social world.
The exercises began with a chorus
-"'The Banner of the Free" 1t was in
dicative of the character of the program
throughout. More than half the class
took patriotic subjects. The address of
Master Angel was positively belIIgerent.
while the GRAFTON of Master Baldwin
was brilliant defense of Americanism
appealing to the strongest instincts of
patriotism. Some Of the young ladies
also revealed their love for their country
IN their essays, and there was not one
graduate of the nine who did not betrav
their pride in and fealty to their native
land. Such training in our public
schools is superlatively ycommendable, and
proves over again the old assertion that
/ the public schools are the bulwark of
our liberties.
Heroes" by Miss VIrgilia Cooper
was mainly review of the heroes of his
tory. The old yet ever new story of Le-
onidas was retold in simple yet charm
ing style. The heroes of Scotland and
Switzerland were again brought to view.
In Miss Cooper's opinion the hero whose
name shines out brightest in all history
was our own Lincoln. But heroes are
not always measured by deeds of
prowess. Cornelia, the mother of the
gracchi, was a heroine in the manner of
bringing up her children. Those are
heroes also who conquer their own pas
sions.
Master Curtis Hgisert followed with an
oration entitled ssThe Growth of Consti-
tutional Liberty" The growth OF fliberty
is slow, but it is a thrifty plant, declared
the speaker. It's tenacity of existence
was then shown by the tender root of
liberty which extended across the At
lantic and found lodgment in the Ameri-
OoA SOiOhASSs huO .lIb QSV6IOpm0nG was
pictured by Master Egbert in rare and
beautiful language. Religious and
constitutional liberty are comrades in
war, and brothers in peace" was another
original statement of the speaker. He
pictured the slow progress of liberty dur
ing the dark ages, but its spark was
never extinct, ind through the trou blous
times of the Fifteenth and succeeding
centuries it was re-established in the
form of various European republics.
The number of these republics is con.
stantly increasing.

HOME DECORATIONS.

The very latest pattern for a center
piece is in pine cones, the needles them
selves being worked in green and the
stems in brown.
Bread and butter dishes are still pop
ular from their great convenience
Small spatula-shaped knives in solid
silver usually accompany them for
spreading the bread.
Plain burlap in very pretty colors,
not the ordinary coffee sacking but a
smoother and little finer weave, is
very much used for decorative purposes,
such as sofa cushions, couches and
hangmgs. . ..:. ....
The ordinary black iron register has
been bette noir for householders for
some time, but this problem has been
solved in special-size screen, with
one or two folds, and just high enough
to reach the top. Plain ones of denim
or burlap are especially popular.
The expense of fancy works will be
very much lessened if one would pin
the stamped article on n pillow covered
with transparent paper, take a fine
needle and prick rows of fine holes
y
ways have the pattern to stamp your
own things.
II is the latest lamp shade that has
five points instead of the ordinary four
pointed square one. The frames for the
latest shades have the same general con-
tour as an open umbrella, the wires be-
ing curved upward from the piece of
fine wire around the chimney to the
outer edge.
Most of the pattie dishes, bon-bon
dishes, olive dishes; in fact, all small,
fancy dishes of this description, come
this year with sterling silver stands
under them with three small feet. This
combination of cut glass and silver OF
fine china and silver is particularly eff
fective on the table.
