Yesterday afternoon Prothonotary
Woolley heard someone enter his Of
fee at the Court House, and, looking
up, beheld a fair-haired and curly
headed young German before him. He
was fairly well-dressed and, the Way
farer is informed, wore a red, white
and blue necktie.
Mr. Woolley asked him what he de-
sired He replied that he wanted to
take out his naturalization papers so
that he could enlist as a volunteer.
The prothonotary prepared the pa
pers and George e. Hoffman, for that
was the name OF the applicant, signed
them and renowned all allegiance to
any foreign power or potentate, and,
most especially, to Kaiser Wilhelm, of
Germany.
After paying the customary fee Hofr-
man went away, and is probably en-
rolled, by this time, in the ranks Of
the country's defenders.

AN ILLUSTRATION OF "GENER
OSITY." "

EX+Secretary Morton still continues
his opposition to "paternaliSm" and
cOntemplates the Agricultural ApprO-
priation bill from Arbor Lodge, in the
vicinity OF Nebraska City, with the
same sentiments that he expressed so
frequently when he occupied the secre-
tarys desk at the Agricultural Depart
ment.
Il am pleased to observe" he says
in a recent letter, that with his usual
generosity the average congressman
continues to be willing to send seeds
to his particular friends at the pubEc
expense. Some years ago two of my
grandchildren were Instructed by their
mother just before Christmas that, as
they had a great many piaythings
which they could dispense with, and
many poorer children had no play
things at all, it would be a generous
and benignant act for them to gather
UP lot of their miniature household
goods for distribution among the less
fortunate urchins Of the neighbOrhOod.
The two kids" a girl and a boy Cthe
latter the younger of the tWO), i'm
mediately went UP into their play
room and after a little while were
heard coming downstairs, the boy de-
nouncing the whole proceeding as al
together wrong so far as he was con-
cerned and the girl declaring in a very
solemn manner that it was our duty
as mamma said, to give away things
that we liked and TO be good to the poor
children and to furnish them with mics
presents But as the boy howled de-
spairingly his mother investigated the
sackful Of playthings which his gener'
Gus sister was about to bestow upon
| the poor and found, to her amazement
/ that it contained none of the property
belonging to the little girl, and that al
Of her generosity consisted in giving
away the playthings Of her brother

osity and love for the farmer. Chi

PHoroGRAPHED IN UNIFORM.

from the sombrero and tomahawk toll
cite of the Cuban insurgent to the pad
ded and belted dress of the National
Guard. In one window only officers
are shown. Some have plain, dark,
soldierly suits; one or two wear cooked
hats, and the broad chest of another
is a resting place for half a dozen
decorations. Whether it is that la uni
form is becoming to all men, or that
military tallors are better than ordi-
nary tailors, or that the look of dig
nifty and courage which all these pic
tured officers wear is more in line with
canons of beauty than their peaceful
end everyday expression, the photog-
rapher does not explain, but the fact
remains that all these epauletted and
brasslbuttoned gentlemen have more

SENATOR HoAR's LITTLE STORY.


Senator Hoar made a very telling
answer to Senator Rawlins in the de-
bate in the Senate on Tuesday. Mr.
Rawlins had been telling about the
$50 600, 900 600 that would be required
to pay all the obligations of this coun-
try, if they were to be settled at once
and gave some figures to show how
impossible it would be to settle with
gold or silver, or both together. Then
this followed:
Mr.. Hoar-Very we'll. The senator
says that we should have, in order to
pay those debts, a sum of money equal
to the entire mass of the Indebtedness.
Mr.. Rawlins-The senator misunder-
stood me if he understood me as saying
such a thing. did not say that.
Mr. Hoar-In substance.
Mr.. Rawlins-NO; not in substance.
Mr.. HOar-I do not suppose it would
require any increase in the volume of
coinage or reduce 1t any if all these
debts shrank in value, for they will
not all be paid at once. The most per-
feet answer to the senator is an an
sWer which an old undertaken once
made when he took part in a political
discussion, think, in the city of Port
land He said: There are $4,000 in
habitants in Portland, and each one
has got to have a coffin, but l never
keep more than a dozen or twenty cof-
fms on hand. because they do not all
want their collins at the same time. "

Great Britain. the strongest naval
power which this world has ever
known, has demonstrated to her sister
nations the vast Importance OF coaling
stations distributed in various parts Of
the globe for the use OF her warships
while on police duty or engaged in the
sterner requirements OF actual conflict.
Many OF Americas most conservative
newspapers and men, while deprecating
and discountenancing territorial ag-
grandlzement on our part, are strongly
in favor OF exacting from Spain, in the
final settlement OF our accounts with
her, certain coaling stations in her
colonial possessions in both the Allan
tic and Pacific as an additional as
surance OF the effectiveness OF future
warlike operations in those quarters o.
the globe.
Under modern methods Of warfare al
adequate supply OF coal is as essentia
as a sufficiency OF ammunition, and (
we are TO become a naval power o
magnitude we must, as occasion Of
fers, provide ourselves with coahnl
stations for our ships of war, just a

CoWARDLY PATIRIOTIsM.


Those National Guardsmen OF Della
ware who exercised proper preroga-
tive and declined to volunteer for ser
vice in the regular army. and who
have been subjected to much senseless
criticism by thoughtless persons, will
find ample comfort, consolation and
vindication in the following declaration
made by Col Asa Bird Gardiner, of New
York, who speaks more particularly
TO those New York guardsmen who oc-
cupy substantially the same position,
as do those OF our state:
"Our National Guard" Colonel Gardi-
ner said, "is maintained by the state at
great expense to suppress rict and to
act as an emergency force for the
United States. Our militlamen are
young men OF a superior order Of in
telligence, many OF them In learned
professions, Many have been in their
regiment for from five to twenty-five
years. Such men are qualified to com
mand. 4 '7Nl liN
1--WE have a large criminal class in
this city and we had the experience OF
the anti-negro riots Of 1868, when the
National Guard was in the service OF
the United States as an emergency
force in Pennsylvania. by section l.
GAS OF the United States Revised Stat
utes the president now may call into
the service Of the United States the or
ganlzed militia for a period not ex-
ceeding nine months. They always
heretofore under the laws OF the United
States, as wen as by the Constitution,
have been considered emergency troops
70 hold the fort until the regular or
provisional army might supply their
places.
'In April, 1861. the Seventh Regi-
ment, on an emergency call OF Presi-
dent Lincoln, went to the defence OF the
capital for forty-hye days, until volun-
teers could take their places. Upon
the Seventies return 1t gave GOO Off
GERS to the volunteer service OF the
United States, and yet these very men
almost TO a man were privates in the
forty-hve days service.
Under the circumstances there was
no necessity for any National Guard
organization to volunteer, as the guard
Is at the service of the president to re-
pei invasion for the period of nine
months. The patriotism and courage
of no man in the National Guard car
be questioned who declined to volun-
teer. When he entered the National
Guard he did so voluntarily under the
law which made his services available
TO the governor or president for active
service II required in an emergency.
There is such thing as cowardl!
patriotism, and 1t is OF the sort dis
played by men who take good care no
to go to the front themselves while, a
the same time rOundly denouncini
their fellow-men for their disinclina
ton to do so.
When you hear a man raising th'
cry Of coward. Just ask him what it 4
that keeps him at home and hear wha
a number OF fimsy excuses he will ad
vance for his own position as a non
combatant.
Cowardly patriotism is that patriot
ism which impels one man to ask an
other man to make that sacrifice 70
his country which he himself is to
selfish or too c0wardly to make.
