Young Men to the Front.

The preponderance of young men in
the companies of volunteers that have
been ordered into the various state
camps has 0ccasioned considera bic
comment. The fact that fully % per
cent of the men who have responded to
the call of the President fer troops are
on the sunny side of what we call the
meridian of life has been discussed as
though it were an unusual circum-
stance in connection with preparations
fer hostilities
1t is true that the National Guard in
all the states has been recruited from
the ranks of the young men, and hence
the volunteers that are now being
mustered into the federal service must
of necessity be young men. Ii is safe
to say that a least 80 per cent OF them
are unmarried men. who have no one
depending upon them for support. 1t
follows that they constitute the most
available assets of the nation when it
comes to fighting material. ~ NAT
ter of fact, the first men to go to the
front in our civil War. as in all wars
of history, were young men. When the
young manhood of the country is
drawn upon by the first demands of
the government the subsequent calls
for more volunteers bring out the mid
dle-aGed men, the men of business ana
Of family responsibilities.
In a tribute to the valor and sturdi-
ness of young men General Beaver. ex-
governor of Pennsylvania and a griz-
zlcd veteran Of the war said in ad-
dressing the Chicago Y. NJ. c. \. on
the occasion Of its fortioth anniver-
sary:
But when the crisis comes lean on
the young manhood Of the land We
are helpless ana hopeless without it,
Now. when the black clouds of war
OVershadoW US and the seas are cannon
swept, we are dependent on our young
manhood. If victory comes il will
come because the young manhood of
the country is on the side of the coun-
try and of humanity. and because
young men, like Ensign Bagley. will
lay down their lives for the flag and
the cause it represents.
In commenting further on the man
ner in which the young men went to
the front in the Civil War General
Beaver stated that General John r.
Brooke. who had preceded him in COM
mand of the First Brigade of the Sec
ond army corps, was then only "a
years Old Many of the most efficient
commanding officers in the union army
were under 80 years of age. 1t has been
so in all history. TIL martial burdens
of nations have been borne by the rug
ged valor and sturdy patriotism of
their young men.--Chicago Times Her

date for Governor in 1886. an additional
delegate and for a fraction of 40 votes
in excess of 10 votes a further addi-

That there may be no misunderstand-
ing, the secretary of the committee has
made a classification of delegates based
upon this representation. The town ur
plantation which threw II votes is, IN
der this call. only entitled to one dele
gate. In order to get a second delegate
it must have thrown IS votes for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
1896. The fraction of 40 votes to give
another delegate, must be in excess of
20 votes.

discovered in the list they will be
promptly reported to the secretary so
that all mistakes may be corrected.

Can Plants Soc?

The mysteries of vegetable life are
not all yet explored. An Indian
botanist has made experiments which
induce him to say that some plants
can see. Whether the inference can
be accepted or not, these experiments
go to show that the plants made an
effort to reach supports placed at .
little distance and grew toward the
supports wherever placed. The plant
was convolvulus, and when a pole
was placed near it and in such way
that the tendrils would have to turn
