Exempt From War.

IN answer to question as to who
are exempt from army duty in case OF
war the Norfolk Pilot says:
Section LIST of the 9th article of the
Virginia State constitution provides
as follows: The militia of this state
shall consist of all able bodied male
persons between the ages OF eighteen
and forty-five years, except such
persons as may be exempted by the
laws Of the. United States or Of this
state; but those who belong to rehg-
lous societies whose tenets forbid
Them to carry arms shall not be COM
PEELED to do so, but shall pay an
equivalent for personal service, and
the militia shall be organized, armed
and equipped and trained as the gen
eral assembly may provide by law.
The Charlottesville Progress adds:
There are no other exemptions under
oar state or federal constitution. ex-
cept those that arise from the nature
of the case, as the exemption of all
civil officers, state and federal. In

The church teaches no one to do
evil. 1t has no mixed standards of
right and wrong. 1t aims to keep
those who have not gone astray in
morals in the straight paths of hon
esty, truth and virtue. 1t teaches
parents to love their children, and
exhorts children TO honor their par
ents; it warnes men what will come to
them if they choose the wrong in
preference to the right. 1t is great
conserving force among men. Who
can tell how great the wrongs Of the
world would be if we had no church?
When all distinction becomes SO CON
fused that black is white and white is
black, when wrong is right, and right
is wrong, it will then be possible to
make out case against the church
as the enemy of mankind. But while
love stan1s opposed to hate, and vir-
tue is better than vice, the church
must be accounted the truest friend
and helper Of mankind.

The Spaniards Must Get Out Of
Cuba Or They Will Be

Washington, April is.-TWo days

II she refuses, the army and navy will

sign resolution and send ultimatum to
Spain to night or tomorrow. War is

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April 19.-It
is the Presidents determination now
to give the Spanish government two
days in which to make her response
to our ultimatum.
The resolutions and note will hard

morning, and several hours will be
consumed in translating it from
cipher. The note will hardly reach
Sagasta's hands until tomorrow after
noon, which will give his government
Thursday and Friday to frame a
reply.
The army and navy will not make
any hostile demonstration until
SPANS answer is received or the
time fixed for it expires. The troops
will be hurried to the South.
There is some division among the
war authorities as to the ACCESSIBILITY
to throw an army into Cuba stimuli.

Havana.
The present decision is to move the
army and navy together. This plan
has been adopted upon the suggestion
of Gen. Lee. Gen. Miles opposes
this plan, believing the navy of the

irive the Spanish from the island.

CHINA is fast falling a prey to hel
protesting friends. The aim of Great
Britain to maintain the integrity of
China AMI to open the doors of China
to the trade of the world; to the en-
terprise and development, or perhaps
we should write exploitation, of the
peoples of the western world, and on
equal terms to all, is already an
abandoned dream. First Germany
interfered with this programme by
Selling Chinese territory, then Russia
did likewise, and nowsnot to lose all,
Britain follows suit, forcing China to
cede to her the fortress of Wei-Hai-
Wei OH lease similar to that by
which she coded Port Arthur to
Russia. Wei Hal Wei is now held
by Japan, being in pawn for the pay
ment of the last of the Chinese in
demnity. But this indemnity will
soon be paid and England be free to
take possession. But in Wei-Hai-
Wei Britain gains little but fort
'ess, for the hinterland is in the zone
If the new German influence and |
title trade can be opened as the re-
ult of this acquisition.

THERE is growing tendency, more
and more, in each President who il
elected to demand increased powers
Tor the Executive Department. Dur
ing the last administration of Cleve-
land, he contcnded that the Execu
tive had equal power with Congress
to recognize the belligerency Of a
State in rebellion. President Nc
Kinley goes Mr.. Cleveland one better,
and now claims that il is the Execu-
,ive's sole power, and that Congress
has nothing to do with it. These
requests for constitutional rights are
but nails in the coffin of liberty, and
unless they are repressed some ambi-
tious Executive will wipe out CON
stitutionaI liberty and assume dicta-
torial, tyranical and monarchical
rights.

Good Advice to BOYS.

You are learning a trade. That is
a good thing to have. 1t is better
than gold. Brings always premium.
But to bring a premium, the trade
must be periect--no silver plated af-
lair. When You go to learn a trade,
do so with determination to win
Make up your mind what you will be,
ami be 1t. Determine in your own
mind to be good workman
Have pluck and patience. Look
out Tor the interest of your employer
thus you will learn to look out for
your own. Do not wait to be told
everything Remember. Act as
though you wished to learn. If you
nave an errand to do, start off like a
BOY with some life. Look about you
oee how the best workman in the
shop does, and copy after him. Learn
TO do things well. What ever is
worth doing at all is worth doing
well. Never slight your work |
Every job you do is a sign. If YOU
nave done one in ten minutes, see if
you cannot do the next in nine. Too
many boys spoil lifetime by not
having patience. They work at a
trade until they see about one.half
he mysteries and then strike for
ligHer wages. Act as if your own
interest and the interest of your en-
'Ioyer were the same. Good mechap-
cS are the props of society. They
re those who stick to their trades
null they learn them. People always
peak well Of boy who minds his
wn business, who is willing to work
nj who seems disposed to be some
ody in time Learn the whole Of
our trde.-ErchaaJe. ;

just make it two, old fellow,
| want to stand once more
Beneath the old flag with you
AS in the days OF wore,
Our fathers stood together
And fought on land and sea
The battles fierce that made US
A nation of the free.
| whipped You down at Vicksburg,
You licked me at Bull Run;
On many field We struggled,
When neither victory won.
You wore the gray Of Southland,
| wore the Northern blue;
Like men we did our duty
When screaming bullets flew.
Four years We fought like devils.
But when the war was done
Your hand met mine in friendly clasp
Our two hearts beat as one.
Aud now when danger threatens,
No North, no South, we know,
Once more we stand together
To fight the common foe.
My head. like yours, is frosty
Old age is creeping on;
Lies sun is lower sinking.
May day will soon be gone.
But If our couutry's honor
Needs once again her son,
m ready, too, old fellow
To get another gun.
