to % BY the War.
That George Washingtonh bead Va
level when he said: I'm peace prepare
for war"
That talking peace and refusing to pre-
pare for war is not the best way to avoid
war.
That the size of q country's population
or the extent Of its wealth is not the
measure of its strength; but it's capacity
for prompt action in war.
That the combination Of : gun, man
and uniform does not necessarily make
. soldier.
That no country has better raw material
for soldiers, or more of it, but that time
spent for training and discipline is an
essential factor in the formation Of Al
army.
That man for man, the American is
not out Chased a. q tighter BY any for
eigner.
That pluck and energy and cool, cal
culating disregard of danger is not mere.
" an individual but y national character
istic.
That, judged by their product, our
national educational establishments for
the navy and army have no superiors and
the scope Of their education should be
widened so as to prepare for the necessary
increase of our military and naval estab-
lishments.
That in proportion to its size the Amer
ican navy has no superior in ships and
guns.
That the American navy retains the
superiority in gun practice that it showed
in the revolution and in the war of 1879;
indeed, wherever it has been brought into
contrast with foreign navies.
That American shipyards, American
ordnance factories, American armor plate
factories, can be depended upon for honest
and thorough work and our ordnance
officers for efficient inspection.
That the collisions, accidents and mis-
understandings SO Common in foreign
naval maneuvers are not the necessary
accompaniment of joint action by vessels
of war properly handled.
That the 'ssweet little cherub who sits
up. aloft to watch over the life of poor
Jack" has peculiar penchant for the
Yankee sailor.
That the injuries done to the Name

internal explosion such as destroyed the
Vizcaya, which was torn to pieces by the
explosion of one of her own torpedoes.
That the regular army of the United
States is an army of native Americans,
and not of foreigners, as is so often falsely
asserted. This is indicated by the names
appearing in the lists of killed and
wounded and is proved by the statistics
published annually by the War Depart
ment.
That it is, moreover, as we have always
declared, composed of a body of young
men ranking high, as compared with the
average citizen, in intelligence and manly
characteristics. They are a picked body
of men.
That the spirit of American patriotism
was never more ardent than it Is now,
and that those We're true prophets who de-
clared that at the first threat of foreign
war all internal disputes should be for
gotten and North and South, East and
West should be united as one man.
That the snarling critics, whose mission
it has been to depreciate everything
American in comparison with what was
foreign, have no place in this country

THE boys BUREAU.
First Months Report 81 the super
intendent-Facts About Ii.

The Boys Bureau, of Church Hill, has
been a reality just one month; tho good
it has done is probably measureless.
Following is given the report for the
month Of Mr. S. Whybrew, the superin-
tendent: The first months work Of the
Boys Bureau shows very encouraging re-
suits. The bureau has been open thirteen
nights during November. and $50 periodi-
Gals have been distributed among the
members. Perfect order and good doport
ment have been maintained, and not a
single cause for complaint has occurred.
One hundred members are now on the ron,
and others contemplate joining. The bu-
reau will welcome all who apply for MEM
bership and any boy too poor 70 pay the

adopted for this commendable purpose.
Sixty papers and magazines are on the
catalogue, and the counters present quite
an attractive appearance. The members
are allowed TO look az any publication and
make their own selections. one week is
allowed members 10 retain the papers AT
their homes The meagre amount received
for membership is used az fast as re-
celNed, 10 ddt new tltidCtlOiS ~ tHf bu-
reau counters and scarcely meets the re-
quirements, as all papers are paid for in
advance for year. During the month
some helpful donations were made 10 the
bureau from the Baughman Stationery
Company, T. W. Wood x Sons j. f. Rose
& Co., of this city. and Messrs, Butterick
a. CO.: Orange Judd, and Peter Hender-
son, of New York.
'The sole purpose of the bureau is TO
provide the youth of Church Hill with
good wholesome literature, such as will
help TO educate them TO lives Of useful
ness The work Is not charity. hardly
a philanthropy but q cooperation for an
allIround good, and any person whose
sympathies extend to the boys and young
men of a location utterly destitute of any
good and helpful institution outside OF
the churches, can find here a place where
their assistance may accomplish the high
est good.
1T. is with regret that the bureau loses
the services of Mr.. Robert Wlnfree, who
has done excellent service as recording
secretary. getting Its books and accounts
into condition for permanent adoption.
The duties Of the office, added 10 his mani
fold engagements and studies, have proved
too great a burden, and, though reluc-

TO his resignation. A worthy successor
has been found in MFR. Marvin Taylor.

WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.
The Fight Growing Out OF the Legis-
lntivc SitunfiOn

CHARLESTON. W. VA. December g.
Cspecial)-Not since the memorable Golf
Fleming gubernatorial contest of 1898 have
the people of West Virginia been
so stirred up over the result of an
election. II was generally accepted
that the Democrats had cafe
majority in the House, and the
Republicans small majority In the SEN
ate, with several majority on joint assem-
bly,. Now, however. the Republican lead
ers claim that the Democratic majority
In the House was gained by rank fraud
To-day the state Supreme Court Of APP
peals took action in the Monroe county
contests by granting a writ of error to the
Democratic member Of the Legislature
who had been granted a certificate Of cleo
ton by the County Court His certificate
was afterwards taken from him by the
Republican judge of the Circuit Court.
This and other contested cases will be
heard fully before the Supreme Court.
His certificate will doubtless be restored.
There was a conference Of Republican
leaders here to-day from all parts OF the
state. Chairman Dawson, of the State
Committee who,is also Secretary of State,
said to me that the story that the Re-
publicans were plotting to steal the Leg
islature was n ridiculous canard. He
said they had no reason to want TO steal
something which already belonged to
them for the Democrats conceded that
the Republicans had a majority on joint
ballot. and could elect a United States
Senator. He told me that ii was true
that both he and Governor Atkinson had
telegraphed to several Republicans urging
that they make a contest for their seats
In the Legislature already awarded by the
canvassing boards 10 Democrats. His
explanation of this was that the com
mttee had received new information as
ito fraudulent voting in those counties.
| have learned to-day that one Of these
defeated Republican candidates has posi-
lively refused to contest his opponents
seat. This is Judge Philetus Lipscomb.
Of Tucker county, who acknowledged that
Mr.. Wagner, his opponent. was elected
over him by eighty majority. The State
Committee and Governor Atkinson sent
him several kilograms to-day insisting
that he sign an affidavit giving notice to
his opponent Of contest. He declined to
do so. and wired back. IF YOU want the
notice signed you will have to do so your
selves and do the swearing. l was hon
estly beaten and have no grounds for
contest"
There IS a great indignation among
some Republicans. who are opposed to
going behind the returns, and the Repub-
lican State Committee is being censured
for its attempt to force these defeated
candidates into contesting their opponents
seats.
Governor Atkinson did not come TO the
State-House to-day. An inquiry at his
home revealed the fact he was not feeling
well and denied himself TO all callers eX-
