Mr. NJ. r. Frantz in charge, one who

Since your correspondent from
Hoyes has opened the subject of the
singing contest, we would like to say
a word or two along that line In
the first place we have no doubt that
rumOrs around Hoyes has it that way
But we are satisfied with the decision
of one who is disinterested in the
matter, and who has had thirty-five
years experience in music, and who
said with scores of others that the
Sang Run class was far superior to
either of the classes engaged in the
contest, We also had due respect for
all our class and let the bad as well as
the good sing. Had we discarded
some it would have been much better
and we would have carried off far
greater honors, but. we are satisfied
as it is. If the rumors around Hoyes
are correct, will the correspondent
please tell us why they are going to
import number of singers for the
next contest, from other places, as we
understand they are going to do?

civilization, if she still dealt in slaves,
or hung children for theft, or burnt
old women for witchcraft, that is for
dressing in black and growing feeble
IN body and mind.
America was the reproach of the
family of nations until she freed her
slaves. The highest idea that man
can cherish being that of right, there
can be no perfect civilization with
such an idea disregarded. The honor
and prestige of civilization never
comes alone, with gold, silks, com
MERGE and furniture, but with broad,
intelligent justice, and a genuine hero
ism. AS the ghost of the hero Theseus
appeared on the field of Marathon,
and inspired the Athenians in their
struggle against the invading Per
slams, so the greatness which a nation
has enshrined in its traditions is part
of it's deepest present life. 1t often
happens that the shades of the fathers
are a nations most substantial bull
wark.
What a difference it would make
whether a race of Saxons or of Turks
were the first inhabitants of the land.
1t would be the difference between
mosques, minarets, sultan's palaces
and harems, and the various features
of a lazy MOslem civilization, and the
sweet homes, busy marts, unpreten-
tious shrines of religion and learning,
and the myriad expressions of Saxon
enterprise, progress, intelligence and
humanity.
Next to the grandeur of a planet
| that carries amounted millions OF peO-
pie upon it's bosom and whirls them
along through day and night, sum
mer and Winter, youth and old age,
comes the greatness and glory of a
well-equipped nation which for hun
dreds of years guards the liberty, in
dustry and happiness Of its dependent
population.

The "Divine Healer"

August schrader, whose + anne as
the Divine Healer has sp4ead all
over this land, spent last Friday night
in Oakland as the guest of one of the
hotels. He left on train No. g Satur-
day morning for New York City.
The Divine Healer would attract
notice anywhere. He bears striking
resemblance to the accepted likeness
of the SAVIOR, and he seeks to carry
out the resemblance in every detail, so
far as exterior appearance is CON
cerned. He is sturdy man, thirty
one years of age, has a full beard and
long flowing hair, dark brown in color,
and wears black cassock similar to
a priests, over which around one
shoulder is thrown a stripjof red cot
ton, fastened at his belt, from which
is suspended a small metalcross. His
German parentage is expressed in his
features and sturdy, raw boned frame,
while from under heavy eyebrows
CLEAN bright, dark grey eyes. He was
born in the Wisconsin lumber regions,
and nearly all his life has been spent
in the West.

The PRINCIPAL of Civilization.

The transition from barbarous to
civilized life may be traced by the
progress made toward just and uni
form laws. If the quantity of wealth
were an evidence of civilization, the
Spaniards of old Mexico equaled, even
eXcelled New England in the civilized
condition. If costume, palaces and
gorgeous surroundings were evidences
of human progress, the Turks have
long been the superiors of the Eng
lishman and the American.
1t is manifest, however, that in the
composition of the Mexican and the
Turk there is some element lacking.
preventing their condition from rising
to the altitude of true civilization.
While it is impossible to find all the
delicate threads that make up a great
and complete national character, it
seems evident that no one fact so
truly indicates civilization as the pre-
sence and force of general laws secur-
ing equity, industry and happiness.
These must be wise, humane and uni

wealth and accumulated literature

Are not the children often driven too

The convention of Democrats held
here last Friday afternoon was bossed
and controlled exclusively by Mr..
Getty, for Mr.. Getty and the whole
ticket was dictated by him. He was
chairman of the convention also. In
his speech to the delegates he held up
in derision every man who was worth
q dollar; he branded the well-tO-do as
thieves and as men who would stoop
to almost any crime to get possession
of money. Then ne changed his tao
tics and made the laughable assertion
that the Democratic party was the
true friend Of the old soldier,
The ticket headed by Dir. Getty is
inherently weak, but this should not
deter any Republican from putting
forth his best endeavors to elect the
Republican ticket from top to bottom
and increase the Republican majority
in Garrett county.

ing out the military school just yet,
for the world is not advanced to the
point for the discontinuance Of force
but we do think that the training could
be carried on by means of inoffensive
weapons. By their use the cadets
would become so drilled that if war
was absolutely necessary they could
substitute the rife for the broomstick
at moments notice. The cadets of
West Point, knowing the strength Of
the w. G. T. u, and fearing that the
Worlds Convention at Canada next
month would take up this point and
press it closely, have been greatly agi-
tated about it; but old soldiers assure
them that they need have no fear and
that the rifle will stay in the military
school,
The greatest obstacle to the sanction
OF any movement the w. G. T. U. might
make is the fact that the churches have
the military companies, and that the
standing army has always been given
the approval of the Church, but if the
w. c. t. U. can give good arguments
and back them up with examples of the
successful working OF the broomstick
in place of the rifle perhaps they may
succeed.

The great American eagle at that time
was bird of prey, committing raw
ages wherever 1t could, and carrying
of live stock, children and agricultural
specimens whenever it had an oppor-
tunity to do so.
But the eagle, from it's majestic ap-
p9arance, It's lofty flights and the
beauty OF the scenery in which IL loved
to soar, had excited the admiration "a
the statesmen of the new Republic. and.
in spite of Franklin's protest. the eagle
was chosen as the national emblem,
and was placed upon the money coined
by the new mints-"the great Amer
lean eagle" it was called. and as such
1t has been known ever since.
Soon after this the eagle quieted
down and beyond showing itself to Wis.,
ltors at Niagara Falls and to those
along the great lakes, kept very quiet
and became an object of generation
rather than of fear.
But Of late the eagle has broken out
again and the government is seriously
considering the advisability Of putting
price upon its head.

advantage gained by the boys in this
exercise. Acting upon this the w. G.

Their institutions of learning are re-
markedly attractive and popular, and
they took advantage of the military
spirit that is in the youth Of our coun-
try to Introduce the military drill into
their colleges. They began it as long
ago as twenty five years and have care
fully fostered it until the Jesuit mill
tary companies are well known. The
st. Francis Xavier colleges have well
organized battalions, which are sources
of pride to them, and in the Protestant
churches there are several Episcopal
regiments and many Baptist ones.
The Baptist Boys Brigade is a mil
itary company that exists in almost
every State. They have force of 10,-
600 people that could be turned out on
call. The Dutch Reformed and Meth
odist churches have also interested
themselves in the movement Of drill
ing the boys.
One of the prime movers in this
scheme of building up regiments from
the schools and churches was Gen.

The initiative in this matter was
taken by the leaders of the w. G. T. u.
In Nebraska, who are urging the pub
lie school commissioners to take away
from the cadets everything that could
be used in warfare. Their argument is
that it is not civilized to fight, and that
the use of firearms among the young
fosters the spirit Of battle and makes
the youth of the United States natur-
ally warlike and savage.
At the coming biennial of the w. G..
T. U. in Toronto this point may be
brought up for debate, and, if possible,
such measures will be taken as to Sc
cure its enforcement in the United
States AS the law now stands any
public school can now secure the SER
vices Of a lieutenant of the army for
drilling purposes. Upon demand an
officer is detailed to instruct the boys
of the school in the minor military
movements, and he can remain indefin-
itely if desired.

teen well drilled regiments turned out
equal to the best Of the National

in the schools consist of marching,
