That the camera will play an important

The Civil War.

Many people think Appomattox
marked the end OF the war as Sumter
did its beginning. AS a matter of fact
the war did not end officially until Au-
gust 20, 1e66 when President johnson
issued proclamation announcing ii. It
war was at an end and that peace, or
der and tranquility and civil authority
existed in all the states. While Lees
surrender was not the end of the war,
it was the beginning of the end. john
ston surrendered on April 20, Dick
Taylor on Nav A and Kirby Smith not
until May 20. On May -, more than a
month after Lees surrender, a sharp
fight took place at Palmetto Ranch, in
Texas, which is called by J,fferson
Davis and other, au horities the last
battle of the war. The commander of
the Union troops, mostly colored, says

UNCLE SAM rubbed it in on John Bul,
in the bill dealing with open sea seal
ing, which has passed both branches of
Congress and only needs the Presidents
signature to become law, and that il
will probably get. Canada, backed by
England, has played the hog rig It
through in this Sc ding business, by re.
fusing to join the Uuited States in eff
forts TO prevent the spec y de struction
of all The seals by agreeing TO a cessa
ton OF open sea sealing for even a
limited time, and the Canadians dou ot-
less chuck ed with joy, when this bill
which prohibits open sea sealing by the
citizens of the United States was intro
duced in the Senate, because of their
belief that it would leave them a
monopoly of the taking of seals in the
open sea. But they will not chuckle,
nor will their English supporters, when
they learn the purport of section of
the bill that was kept quiet while the
measure was pending before Congress.
That section absolutely prohibits the
bringing of seal skins into the United
States from any source. When it is
remembered that the United States fur
nisbes the largest and best market in
the world for seal skins and that the
business of supplying that market has
been partially monopolzed as to raw
skins by Canada, and entirely as to
dyed skins by E lgland, the full signifi-
canoe of what Unc.e Sam has done to
John Bull becomes apparent.

About the Rebel Yell.

| One night last summer at the en-
campment of the Peunsy lvania na,ioni
guard IN Like Conneaut, the officers,
several Of whom had served in the late
war, were discussing the rebel veil and
the terror it was ALE ged to have caused
in the minds of the green northern
volunteers every time the rebels charged
down upon them.
1t had not the slightest effect upon
me-" said one of the Ulcers, " although
when first went into the war | was
OF ly raw recruit and had never seen
service"
go, of course, colonel" remarked
one of his companions, nothing could
scare you"
Spare your sarcasm, major" was
the reply. "I'n admit | was badly
scared the first time l smeled powder,
but it was the same feeling of fright
that every new soldier experiences, no
matter how often he may afterward
deny it. No, sir, it was not the rebel
yell that sent my heart into my boots.
l was very familiar with it, and yet
bad never been south before. Why,
you young fellows yourselves have
heard it a thousand times.
Every northern farmer boy can give
the re bel yell, for he learns it by virtue
of his occupation. You gen len en-
have 10 doubt observed, when showing
your country cousins the sights of the
city, that they are gentle voiced lot,
and that you have to bend your ear and
strain to hear their words above the up.
roar Of the street.
g But put one of those cousins on
one side of twenty-acre field and sta
ton yourself on the other, and you'll
find that you can distinguish every
word he shouts to you, while he is un-
able to understand you, Right there
you are hearing the rebel yell, and your
cousin has acquired it because he needs
it IN his business. The workers on our
big American farms frequently must
make themselves heard at considerable
distances, and they train the voice &C.
cordin yly.
SAT the time of the war the South
was almost exclusively an agricultural
community, and the proportion of coun-
trymen who served in her armies was
much greater than the proportion who
shouldered the gun on the Northern
side. Consequently, when Southern
regiment made charge, cheering as it
came, the yell of the Southern farmer
boys overtopped the deeper-toned
shout of the city men, for have since
ascertaint d that the average denizen OF
the Southern city is just as incapable OF
giving the rebel yell as the average
resident of the cities north of Mason
and Dixon's line is unable to initiate

Established In 1924 by samuel BOwles
A Complete and Interesting Newspape
Established In 1924 by samuel Bowie

The public commentator a d support of The
REPUBLICAN were never more general and
cordial than they have been the past year.
They inspire its conductors to endeavor
co stantly to make it better,
The cheapening of some of the elements in the
cost of newspaper production, together with
generous public patronage, have enabled
The REPUBLICAN to enlarge its outlay for
brains. Its total expenditures steadily in
crease, and its readers are now receiving a
richer return for their money than eyer.
The REPUBLICAN is in no sense a class news
paper. 1t appeals to all sections of the
community, excepting alone the | w and
vicious. 1t is keenly alive to the new
problems which attend the progress of civ
ilization. 1t recognizes the immense value
of corporate combinations of capital in i'm.
proving social conditions. But it also APP
preciates that the greatest danger to indi-
vidual freedom and democratic govern
ment lies IN the unrestricted operations of
aggregate wealth 1t conceives one of its
chief missions as public newspaper to be
the advocacy of the rights of the plain
people
The REPUBLICAN reports the news of Western
New England especially Western Massa-
chusetts, with the utmost thoroughness
Its general news service is of the best. 1t
devotes liberal attention to literature and
the arts, to social, industrial and scientific
questions. The SUNDAY REPUBLICAN
contains each week nu uerous magazine
features of great interest and value.
THE WEEKLY REPUBLICAN presents care
fully edited and arranged rev ew of the
news and the choicest editorial, literary,
and other features of the Daily and Sun
day 1t is invaluable for New Englanders
away from home and for all others who
want wholesome, interesting and helpful
family newspaper.

PRESIDENT MCKINLEY will. accord
ing to trustworthy t ,Ough unofficial in-

that exist, in and out of Congress,
against present conditions in the civil
service, by issuing an executive order
making mater al mOdf ic atoms in the
blanket extensions of the civil service
rules made by Mr.. CIeve aud during
his last year in fli;e. While the oppo.
sit on on the part Of Republicans in
Congress doubtless was a factor in this
matter, it is well known that the Presi.
dent has had it in mind ever since his
election. Ii will be remem bered that
he said in his annual message: "There
are places now in the classified service
which ought 10 be exempt and others
not classified, may properly be in
cluded, l shall not hesitate to exempt
cases which l think have been i'm

cation has not been fully determined,
but it will not be surprising should the
order be issued before the reassembling
