Dearest Dora thou hast left US,
Thy loved face no more wen see;
But God, all-wise and gracious
To his home hath taken thee.
And when we from this world Of woe
To Join thee beyond the skies,
To the Heavenly mansions go,
Tears no more will dim ouI eyes.
Thou hast left many loving heart,
In our homes vacant scat;
But with thee no more we'll part
When in that home we all shall meet
Thy hands are clasped upon thy breast
We have kissed thy lovely brow,
And in our aching hearts We know
We have no Dora now.
And when in realms OF glory
With the angels thou shalt sing;
Grave. where will be thy victory?
And death, 0 where thy sting!

THE ARMY.
From the New York Sun.


The United States army began this
great campaign with the general public
knowing comparatively little about it. 1t
had appeared but little to the public eye,
and the private citizens who could name
other officers than General Miles, the
commander, were few and far between.
Yet there did not exist our army's equal
in any country. 1t was the most care
fully picked $4,000 men, mentally, morally
and physically, serving under any flag,
and in the use of arms and in the train
ing and individual qualities that nit men
for action, our belief is that ii had and
has no match.
Gloriously have the regular fulfilled the
expectation of their friends. They must
not ignore. however, the circumstances
which excited peculiar admiration for the
amateurs, identified with the several
states. These came more Immediately
from the domestic hearthstone, and their
inexperience and sudden change of occu-
patton aroused very tender feelings for
them, and caused them to be watched
with the keenest attention. All know,
however, that, with very limited eXcep-
tions. the forces of the United States were
the United States regulars, and that to
them is due the fresh glory that has
come so impressively and in such volume
TO the Stars and Stripes.
Every volunteer carried with him to the
field some OF the interest that attaches tc
the shield of his state, while the regu-
lar stood beLeath Old Glory only. Some
day the pre-eminence of Old Glory will
be undisputsd, and the unwelcome pol
itics that now intrude upon the battle
field through the rivalry of the states
will have happily disappeared.

A CANADIAN VIEW.
From the London Advertiser.

From the London Advertiser.
1t is surely interesting to observe, as
we are all observing today, the larse
makings of history. Half dozen con-
siderable results have already flown from
the war between the United States and
Spain. They are the following:
1. Spain has lost all her possessions In
the western hemisphere, and will prob
ably lose all of her outside possessions
2. The war his thoroughly destroyed
any sectionalism that had survived as be-
tween north and south.
3. The view of the United States has
been withdrawn forever from merely
local or parish politics. The day of a
necessarily widened or world view has ar
rived.
4. The United States now denotes a
colonial or imperial power. Like England
and France, she is now the possessor OF
colonies.
5. The war has been the incidental
| means of creating a strong bond "i
| friendliness, and a sense of mutually oil
interests, as between the United States
and Great Britain.
6. The destruction of two Spanish fleets
| and the capture OF Santiago have result
| ed in and enormous increase in respect
for the power of the United States on the
part of the nations of Continental Europe

the lighthouses or the Offices for paying
the interest on the debt. They will be
very reluctant to be involved in future
wars; they will pay attention for the fu-
ture to diplomacy, probably creating a
diplomatic service, and they will regard
alliances as useful, though cumbrous and
costly, forms of insurance. That is 10
say, they will adopt, as regards the eX-
ternal world, precisely the attitude which
centuries of experience have forced upon
the "effete' nations of Europe. Whether
they will be the happier for so great a
change we do not know, but we do know
that they will be much the wiser. Their
present difficulties, which may soon be
serious, are all traceable to want of ex-
perience-that Is, to the absence of pow
erful rivals on their own continent, the
absence of jealousies directed against
themselves and the absence of burden
some armaments, all things on when
they have hitherto privately and publicl7
without ceasing, congratulated them
selves and their ir situations.

1t will be my purpose when elected TO

me as well as those who have given me
their support. l shall be the governor

have undoubtedly grown up IN the leSis-

party nor the other, but rather ths
growth of custom. Unnecessary investi-
cations have been authorized by commit
tees, resulting in unnecessary expense to
the state. 1t will be my care and pur-
pose to correct these and other evils In 80
far as l have the power. 1t will be my
purpose while governor Of Pennsylvania,
as 1t has been my purpose in the public
positions that l have held, with God S
help, to discharge my whole duty. The
people are greater than the parties to
which they belong. I am only jealous OF
their favor l shall only attempt to win
their approval and my experience has
taught me that that can best be done by
an honest modest, daily discharge of
public duty.

If the United States contents itself with

q "cast-iron agreement that will bind
Spain to form of government satisfac-
tory to the people of the islands in CASE
she is allowed to retain her sovereignty -
the United States will merely be laying
the foundation for another war within a
decade. Whatever course the gov
ernment may take in regard to the Phil
ippines We think 1t may be taken for
granted that it will not commit the folly
of attempting both to let them go and to
hold on to them, If IL deems It best to
hold them 1t will hold them. If IL deems
II best to abandon them it will abandon
them. 1t certainly will not put the ma

tion by making 1t responsible for the fu-
ture of the islands after surrendering the
opportunity it has conquered to con-
troll that future.
