view Of obtaining the necessary machinery
to place in the textile department which
is to be established in the archaeological
school The governor has signed the Boil
feuillet bill which passed a the recent
session of the legislature to appropriate
$4,000 to establish textile department in
the chronological school. The bill provided
that the $4,000 should not become avaia-
BILE until q like amount in cash or machin-
cry was donated by individual or others.
In order to get the outside $4,000 Presi-
dent Lyman Hail will make the trip north
to see how much machinery will be donat-
ed. Before the passage of the bill by the
legislature he received several letters from
northern machine men offering to give
machinery to the southern state that was
the first to establish a textile school. Geor-
gla is the first state to act in this regard.
President Hall thinks that he will obtain
at least $4,000 worth of machinery, and
it is believed that friends of the move
ment will subscribe $4,000 in cash Mr..
Parrot, of Atlanta, has already said he
would give $1,000 and number of other
gentlemen have said they would give cash.
The $4,000 given by the state through the
Boifeuillet bill, and $4,000 in machinery
by northern manufacturers, and $4,000
in cash by others will make total of $780,
coo, which viii establish a large textile

the smoke from the valleys will tell Us that

rade-Forging to the Front-Sprung from
Sturdy Stock-President Mckinley's DO
mestic Relationships Wife.
We come to the one in the line Of Presidents
whose Administration viii complete the first
century of the White House. We lind for
the fifth time the country has called upon
son of Ohio to become its Chief Magistrate
Honors are even between Virginia, the
Mother of Presidents, and Ohio.
We also recall the fact that in the morning
of the present century the broad acres and
thrifty farms on which the Capital CITY now
stands were owned and had been settled
century back by company OF sturdy SCOTCH
Irish.
No peopIe have made a stronger impress
upon American history than this nationality,
and it is q striking coincidence that should
bring man TO WELD the destinies of the Ma
ton out of the evening of the old into the
morning of another century whose Scotch
Irish blood tingled in the veins OF his an
cestry.
When President Mckinley looks out OF the
windows of the White House over the sweep
ing lawns and on toward the Potomac he is
looking at the same general landscape that
filled the eve and heart of honest Davy
Burns and he can see the spot where Tom
Moore wrote to Thomas Hume the lines:

DER lakes and marsh, through feyers and
through fogS,

With me shall wonder, and with me despse."
The Convention at ST. Louis chose William
Mckinley as their standard-bearer. Hon.
Mr.. Foraker, in his nominating speech, said,
among other things:
His testimonials are of private life with
out reproach; four years of heroic service as
boy soldier on the battlefields of the RepGb-
lie under such gallant Generals as Philip IL.
Sheridan; IL years of conspicuous service in
the halls of Congress associated with great
leaders of Republicanism, four years of ex-
ecutive service as Governor of Ohio; but,
greatest of all, measured by present require
ments leader of the House of Representa-
tives and author of the Mckinley lava
law under which labor had richer reward and
the country greatly increased prosperity"
Senator Thurston during the speech by
which he seconded the nomination, said:

into his boyish hands musket and followed

We know there was never more devoted,
tender, thoughtful husband never sweeter
family relations-nevcr truer friend.
When the imaginary walls of office are
scaled that shields public man from the
masses, behind it President Mckinley still
wears the garb of comrade and friend, and
his hand is ever extended for good fellow
ship
We know the stock from whence he sprang.
His parents possessed the sterling qualities OF
good citizenship. His mother is a woman OF
strong and passionate patriotism. She was
one who was willing to make sacrifices to
save her country's flag. She is now reaping
her reward. When we saw her in the home
of the President, sitting there in the beauty
and serenity of years that brought halo
over her, we asked if it was not Proud day
for her to see her son President, she sweetly
answered: II am proud to be the mother of
my boy"

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: After the hrst
few months of the war, brass bands in the
Western army almost entirely disappeared.
Many of the early regiments had hne bands,
but after short time it was rare to find one IN
whole division. The entire Z" District OF Hell
ena" could not boast Of a brass band. The 33d
Mo. had very good fife and drum corps.
Being under the instruction of competent
Professor Jabez A. Beaumont, this band had
become quite proficient, and had learned to
play a martial kind of music on the bugle.
There being band at District Headquarters,
the General had been in the habit of using the
band of the 33d Mo. for the general guard

CLUB-RAISING MADE EASY.

DEAR COMRADES:
We know how highly you esteem
THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and how you
work for it, keeping it ahead of most all
other weekly papers in point of circula-.
ton. We know, too, how surprised
some of you are, at times, when you are
getting up clubs, to run across some
people who do not fully appreciate the
old Soldiers Friend, The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE-who, indeed, are inclined to
dispute your statement that it is the best
paper published on the face of the earth.
Well, there are such people. But let
us tell you this: IF you once get them
to take the paper for year, they soon
come around to your opinion and sub
scribe year after year with great regu-
larity.
Now this situation suggests question:
Why not offer new Gas well as old sub
scribers such big inducements that the
club-raiser will succeed with almost
every person solicited?
With the end in view of making club
raising easy, and Of adding thousands
of new subscribers to our list, We have
made the offer you will see elsewhere
on this page of giving two large books,
"The Cannoneer and "Capturing .
Locomotive" to everyone who sub
scribes from now till Sept. 1.
We intend, also, to send these two
books with every premium sent to .
club-raiser. That is, in addition to the
premium he works for and earns, whether
it be large or small, We will send these
two books as present. We are never
inclined to forget old friends when cut
ting watermelon.
Surely this makes club-raising easy.
ALI you have to do with persons solicited
to subscribe is to show them the paper
and its attractions, describe the free
books Cor let them read about them In
the paper, and take their dollus-
Remit the dollars, with their full adj
dresses, to us, and we will do the r.st';
that is, we will send to each address the
two books at once and the paper for .
year, and to you we will send the two
books also, as well as the premium OK
premiums you have earned, all post
paid.
All comrades who are at present
working for clubs may offer thee tw9
books to each subscriber. This wtH
enable them to promptly complete tho
clubs they are working for, howeva
large.
Comrades, Just try for clubs now.
You will surely succeed.

The result we know. He received the

It is too early in the Administration to
definitely know its policy, or how fully the
spirit of the platform laid down by the peo-
pie can be carried out; but this we believe:
Whatever can be done will be done for the
welfare, development, and prosperity of the
people.
That Convention addressed itself to the
awakened intelligence of the people by GER

then selected the man whom they could trust
to carry them out There was no uncertain

THE PRESIDENT AND MRS. MCKINLEY.
She has an oval face, with large, deep-blue
eyes that express her soul as she looks into
your face. Her head is well formed and
covered with soft, brown, wavy hair tinged
with silver. She keeps it short, which gives
her youthful appearance.
Her bearing is benignant and serene, and
draws old and young alike unto her. She
takes deep interest in all public questions
and holds herself ready to respond to the re-
quirements and duties devolving upon the
first lady of the land, although she does
not hesitate to say, g 1t is not of my choice
that we are here. Mr. Mckinley has given
SO many years TO his country and his coun-

lips of those who have lived nearest to him.
