the laws they had formulated.

the laws they had formulated.
A Southern man, out of the fullness
oil his love for the flag of the Union,
wrote stirring poem at this date after
nearly hundred years, stirs our hearts
to patriotic frenzy. Is it to be supposed
that the descendants OF these men would
turn when any portion of their country
men are contending against a foreign
power and stab them in the back
The Southern men who fought as one
to three over their own hearthstones,
hopeless Of success, but determined to
save their honor when all else was lost,
Were nerved to the sacrifice of their all
by principle. Now, though it cannot be
denied they have bitter heartbulnings
when they remember the past, the same
dominating principle keeps them true
to the Government their forefathers
helped to create and establish. The
Southern men can never cease to be
Americans, and are for Americans
against the world in arms; and those ma
tions or men know little of the South
ern people who believe that when thew
accepted even the modified citizenship
offered in the period of reconstruction
they did it as a subject race only wait
ing an opportunity to rise and crush
out, by the help of alterations, the peo-
pie whose welfare, whose traditions
and whose glory were indisputably their
own.
1t is not only over American territory
that the Monroe doctrine is in force.
Our hearts reject 'etangling alliances"
and Americans must stand by Ameri-
cans, from whatever section of the
country they come, as long as our RI
public lasts.
l heard an anecdote a few years ago
which seemed to me to express the
sentiment Of the people of the United
States. Two little brothers were very
angry and struck out manfully at each
other.
Just then a wayfarer came by and
looked at the little combatants. One of
them Immediately threw his arms low
ingly around the other neck and whis-
pered: Il don't love you much right
now, but we must not fight before stran-
gers"
No one who is familiar with the his
tory of Spain on sea or land can under
value her prowess, and she has nothing,
therefore, to gain by beligerent spirit
so far as reputation or territory is in
volved. War is a frightful arbiter of
quarrels, and in this enlightened age
there should be some more civilized
mode of settling a dispute. At the end
of a bloody and eXhausting struggle the
courage of neither Spain nor America
would shine more brightly than it does
at this moment, and all lovers of peace
and aspirants for national prosperity
pray that both countries will see their
best interests in a peaceful adjustment
of their differences.

DEMOCRACY AND ITS FUTURE.
lEx-Governor William j. Stone, OF Missouri
in the March Forum.

Judging the future by the past,
think it safe to say generally that SO
long as the doctrine of Capitalization
is opposed, and the doctrine of popu-
lar sovereignty in the nation and of
State supremacy over local affairs is
maintained, and so long as the people
fight for liberty for self-government,
and for the control of public affairs
against sordid special interests, the
Democratic party will be unchanged
In other words, conservatively stated,
so long as the principles of Thomas
Jefferson are vital influence in the
Republic, the Democratic party will
continue to be what it has ever been
the exponent of those principles.
The battles of the future will be
substantially along the same lines as
those Of the past. Against the Demo
cratic party will be arrayed the same
powerful influences which opposed it
in the last campaign; while it's sup
porters will come from the multitude
whose loyal hearts and busy hands
make the nation really opulent and
great. The declarations of the Chicago
platform of 1896, so far as they relate
to fundamental questions, will stand
as they have stood for century, as
the permanent creed of the party
and so far as they relate to financial
and purely economic questions, they
will be repeated and insisted upon
from one convention to another until
crystalized into legislation, OF until
eliminated, by reason of satisfactory
changes in the industrial and eco
nomic conditions of the country. |
say this because that platform is
clear, conservative, comprehensive
statement of the Democratic position.
Every declaration in it is Democratic,
made alone in the interest of the COM
mon people, and in strict accord with
the ancient faith of the party. More
over the platform has the approval OF
the people themselves; it is indeed
their handiwork; and the politicians
could not change it if they would.

SMALLPOX AND ROYALTY.
Exchange.

The Czarina is down with the
smallpox. Many another has been,
too. The Saracens found the disease in
Africa and introduced it in Europe.
That was l 200 years ago Until Jen-
ner came it was fashionable among all
classes. Said the fourteenth Louis of
France, Il have the smallpox"
"Sire, so has every one" He was not
sympathetic, merely; he was exact.
1t heightened Queen Elizabeth's alb
sence and beauty. William III. gave
it to one of his pages, and, that the
honor might be becomingly remem-'
bered, gave him the Duchy of Port
land also. Maria Theresa had it. So
did Queen Mary. 1t was epidemic in
palaces. But it was not confined to
thrones. When it reached this part OF
the world it singularly aided the civil
izing influence of Spain. Out of Mex
leo alone it took nearly 100000
people. In South America its help
fulness as great. Then, returning to
Europe, it depOpulated the Northland.
A century ago Jenner got to work at
it. Thereafter its efficiency waned.
The Czarina is the first modern sover
eign whom it has attacked. One may
regret that it should have done SO.
This lady is one of the prettiest wom-
EN- in Europe. AS young girl she
was regarded as the fairest of the
Princesses. AS Empress she was I'M
exceeded. AS Czarina she sits on a
seat so high that she overlOOks two
continents. In her diadem the do
minion of all the Russian CLEANS. In
her scepter is the fate of Kingdoms.
Nature made her fair, destiny great.
One might fancy her blessed beyond
all other women. Yet neither beauty
nor power served to protect her. Her
husband has interested himself else
where. In his place smallpox has
come. Who is happy? Mirabeau was
asked. "Some miserable wretch"
he answered. No plain woman need
envy the Czarina.

THEIR RELIGION WILL CALL THEM
10 ARMS.
THE Catholic tohio) Columbian.

Two weeks ago the Columbian stated
that in case of war between the United
States and Spain, the Catholic citizens
OF this republic would do their full duty
to the flag.
This opinion has been officially echoed
by the Most Rev. Archbishop OF Ore
gon, who, in letter to the clergy of
his diocese, writes:
Every right minded and good man
will recognize war to be, in the rule, a
great evil. But war is sometimes una
Voidabie, sometimes necessary and
sometimes resulting in immense advan-
tages. Surely the war for our indie
pendence which the peerless Washing
ton led against Great Britain, and the
war which saved Europe from the I'M
speakable Turk, were well worth the
blood and treasure invested in them.
AS it is evident that there is iminent
danger OF war breaking ont between
our country and Spain, let us pray God
Immaculate Mother it may be honora-
bly, averted. We therefore order the
reverend clergy to add in the Mass the
collect pro pace and to recite with the
people enc Our Father and Hall Mary
after the daily Mass. We avail ourselves
OF this opportunity, however, to call to
the mind of our Catholic brethren that
should a war break out between our
country and Spain we are obliged in
conscience to be loyal to the flag-the
Stars and Stripes. 1t is the teaching of
Catholic theology that the government
has right binding on the conscience of
its subjects Tor their money and their
AIMS in war against the foe, We trust
after God and the intercession OF the
Blessed Virgin in the we'll known peace
able disposition of the American people
that may vet be averted. But should
it come-CatholIcs you know your
duty-we will add our prayers that you
may rival the splendid record of 10y
atty, bravery and heroism which your
brethren in the faith have won in the
other wars of our republic and that an
honorable success will crown the flag OF
our country once more"
So say We all: peace, if possible, with
honor. We pray for; but if war must
come, then war will find the Catholics
of this country devoted to the loyal SER
vice of their native or adopted land.
Their religion adds its obligations to
the duty of patriotism. Their church
will bless their banners and give them
its blessing as they set out for the scene
of conflict.

LETTER THAT GOES ALWAYS.

Probably no letter in the whole
world in all time has been travelling
for so long as that of the class of "A
of Yale College. Some fifty years
ago some of the members undertook to
keep a letter circulating, each man
receiving, adding whatever he consid-
cred would interest the Others, and
when the epistle got around to him
again, removing his previous effort
and replacing it with a new one. So
the letter went on its endless way,
year after year, and to-day it is still
moving telling to the aged men who
are left of the class of "A what their
fellows are doing, of their successes
and disappointments, of deaths, too
often, as the class dwindles away be-
fore the ruthless hand OF time. Not
all the survivors are members of the
chain, but the letter writer's are so
we'll distributed that almost all of the
classmates are heard from and hear of
the news contained in the letter.
At present the letter makes long
journey in the intervene between its
arrivals to any one man. A Worces-
ter member is Jno. A. Dana. He has
just received the regretful comments
of his classmates at the death of their
old friend at college, Colonel John
Wetherell, with comments on the news
paper biography which Mr.. Dana had
inclosed at his last sending. The let
ter had gone from Worcester to Lee,
Massachusetts; thence TO Chicago, to
Minneapolis, to Pasadena, California;
Birmingham, Alabama; Cape May
and another New Jersey town; Plant
vile, Connecticut, Pittsfield, Somer-
vile and back to Worcester.-Glo
Democrat.
In the family of the late Col f. It.
Russell, of this place, there has ex-
listed such letter for some time. 1t
was intended by its originator, Mrs.
Evelyn Blackwell, to supply the place
of family reunions SO much enjoyed
while father and mother lived at the
old homestead. In family of seven,
now SO widely scattered over different
states, no letter is hailed with SO much
delight as the family letter"
For time, each fireside is visited
the Joys and sorrows mutually shared
with brothers and sister; or in fancy
all are gathered against the old home
and can almost hear the now still
voice and wise Council of iather and
mother.
Gods blessing on such letters! In
this day OF transitory life and board
ing houses, they serve not only to ce-
ment the early long ties of childhood,
but make the once loved and precious
memories of home more sacred TO our
| hearts.-Columbia (Mo..1 Herald.

For joy and gladness thou dost bring,
To fill our hearts with mirth.

Where brain and muscle rule,
And wrong we all withstand.

Who understands the majesty
OF that which maketh free?

Extend thy arms from East to West,

Dwell ever in our breast,
Our fathers sealed thee with their blood,
Now in thy fold we rest.

RECIPE FOR GROUP.

Housekeeper asks in the January

subject to Group if she takes even a
light cold, and we have never had a

croupy cough, stir some salt into water

minutes until the child voplits.
3. If you have neither OIL. put some
butter in saucer and rub it into an
equal bulk OF sugar. Feed the child
this until it vomits.
1. Get the feet warm as soon as
possible and keep them warm. Grease
the throat we'll with any kind of
grease mixed with turpentine or ker-
osenc, and cover with warm flannel

children should have some lObelia Oh

cause the child to vomit in two or
three minutes, when othe- remedies

6. 1t may not be out of place to

bella tea will often prevent a severe
