OLD GLoRY's LATEST TRIUMPH

In the harbor of Havana lay our gallant
warship Maine.
There relying for protection on the government
of SPAN:
And below her men were sleeping. men who
| meier had learned to fear,
Never dreaming of the danger that was swiftly
drawing near.
When, without an instants warning, Spanish
| hatred found vent,
Aud before our sleeping sailors could perceive
| the foul intent,
Ere they knew the Sraniards nature, ere his
4 treachery could see.
They were hurled to their destruction, to n
| grave beneath the sea.
And when news of the disaster quickly passed
| from mouth to mouth,
Bringing sorrowing and weeping to the friends
both North and South
There were heard above the growing for the
1 men so basely slain
Mutterings and threats of vengeance, threats
which sounded death to Spain.
| Stern and righteous indignation filled each pa
triotic breast,
| And 1.-THE Maine must be remembered" was the
watchword, east and west;
And the noble sacrifices made by father and by
son,
Reused the nation to the spirit of the days of G1.
Then, when volunteers were called for to up
hold the nations pride,
Father left his wife and family, husband left
his weeping bride,
Who were hoping and were praying that the
strife should not be long,
AS they saw their loved ones leave them, to
avenge their country's wrong.
First our Dewey, at Manila, boldly sailed into
the bay,
Needless of the dread torpedoes that beneath
him thickly lay,
But he rushed into the harbor, there the enemy
to meet,
And righteous God of Nations he'll ped destroy
the Spanish fleet.
Then, before the name of Dewey ceased to echo
thro' the land,
While the country was rejoicing DER the vict'ry
he had planned,
Ev'ry eye was fixed on Cuba all were eager for
the fray,
For twas rumored that our gunboats held
Cervera's feet at bay.
Long he stayed within the harbor, fearful he
would meet defeat
Till he made a dash for freedom, but he failed,
and lost his fleet
And to Gettysburg and vcksburg, on our indie
pendence Day,
Was another victry added-that OF Santiago
Bay.
Yet, amid the din and uproar while the battle
held its sway,
The sailors and commander who had bravely
won the day,
All remembered we'll their duty to the Father of
our land
And they thanked the one who held them in
the hollow of His hand.
Then they tiercely stormed the city. till tho
Spanish flag came down,
Until in its place "Old Glory waved in triumph
DER lne uOWn,
And the tidngs OF the battle DER the country
quickly spread,
Brought rejoicing for the living, tears and sor-
row for the dead
Then. our soldier boys returning, after many
anxious days,
| They were greeted with rejoicing, for they'd
earned their nations praise,
And had proven they were able flag and coun-
try to prot ct,
And f,om European i'at ons gained for us IA new
I respect.
But tie dead may sleep in quiet, f.r they we'll
and nobly died,
And they proved that they were worthy of a
nations love and pride;
And when peace with all its blessings o-er hill
and vale shall reign,
Twill be said of the departed: sThey lemem-
bered WELL the Maine.'

EASILY EXPLAINED.

The few rich young Americans who enlisted in the ranks to go to war are being lionized by war cor respondents. We cannot see why they are deserving of more credit than the poor man for fighting for their country. Still it is fact that the wealthy young Americans ID the lrmy are receiving as much ad' vertising as newly married actress -El Paso Times.
 A long purse and an itching palm no doubt explains the matter. The purse, of course, in the hands of the rich volunteer. But when the cor respondents copy is filed the purse is leaner and the palm of the cor respondent no longer itches.

 When the rough riders were beinc enlisted Max Luna, one of the mos, prominent natives of the territorv was given a commission and or ganized a company, but he got onlv a few natives in his conpauv When Governor Otero started ,o enlist the four infantry compapies that are now being organized he endeavored to get the natives to en. list. He offered commission to Perfecto Armijo, one of the most prominent members of the powerful Armjo family at Albuquerque fl he would secure native volunteers MT. Armijo decline the commis. sion. The governors brother Page B. Otero. one of the most popular men in the northern part of the territory, went to Santa Cruz, but could not secure a single recruit. He learned that the priest had been preaching against the United States and urging the peo. not to enlist. If the Mexicans do not furnish volunteers it will be a long time, as it really should be, before the territory is admitted to statehood. We do not want state where a large proportion of the is able to vote, but us willing to fight.
 If New Mexico cannot or will not supply the four companies called from that territory let her stand aside. Arizona will quickly furnish the entire contingent from both territories. Arizona wanted 10 send the whole regiment anyway, and still stands ready to do so.

A COMFORrABLE PENSION.

An exchange says that no woman who inarries an old soldier after
 July Ist will be entitled to a pen sion if he dies. The old soldier with comfortable pension has fur nished inducement to many de signing woman to wed, especially as his death does not stop the pen sion. But this will soon be changed and the veteran who gets married after that time will have the satis- faction of knowing he furnishes the attraction himseli.-Journal- Miner.
 Eight dollars per month is in- deed a very comfortable pension, !" and eight dollars is about the aver age size of the pension a veteran gets.
 The woman who will marry a cranky old soldier (and we are all cranky-there was something in that grand yet terrible experience of the war which has made all the old soldiers the veriest cranks, which the writer who is one of them readily admits, who will be to him a true and attentive wife and will care for him until he dies, is de- serving of a comfortable pension the rest of her natural life. But eight dollars per month are not "a comfortable pension," and eight dollars a month is the amount the law grants a soldiers widow as a pension, with two dollars addi- tional for each child under sixteen years of age.
 The new law is simply an out rage, and 1t has put brand of in- fanny upon thousands of as noble women as ever contributed to the annals of American 
 The secret of all this rant about pensions to soldiers widows, and to soldiers themselves is that there is arge and unpatriotic sentiment in he country which does not want encouraged.

LEAVE OUR HEROES HUMAN

trying to explain away the manner
 in which "Buckey" O'Neil ac
 quired his nickname. Out upon
 such rot. It is only by their foible:
 that we know our heroes were
 human. Some private letters oi George Washington, recently un-
 earthed, which proved he was fond of horseracing, occasionally went
 on spree, played strong hand al
 poker, and had a reprehensible
 weakness for the fair sex, has done
 more to raise him in the estimation
 of men and women who live on
 earth than can be readily described
 in words. The Sunday school
 literature of the early part of the
 century had bedizened the immor-
 tai father of his country with the
 moral habiliments ofan unconscion-
 able prig, and it was an absolute
 relief to find him a man. They are trying to do the same thing now for Sampson, Schley, Dewey, Hob- son, and the new names recently spread upon the scroll of fame. They have tried to do the same thing with General Grants inn mortal fame, and only recently some fool preacher published statement that Grant never got drunk, when 1t is a matter of oral tradition among soldiers that he was forced out of the regular army before the war on account of his habits; and as an army commander, after he had fought great battle he had to get intoxicated in order to come down to his normal phy- sical and nervous condition from the exaltation to which he had been raised by the strain his faculties had sustained.
 In this tampering with the truth of history the idea of the "uncu guid" who write biography has probably been that the effect upon the rising generation would be in- furious were the knowledge im- parted that Washington was sport, Or that Grant drank to excess, or that any of the foibles of the great should be exposed. Such an ex- cuse IS not at all admissible. Biography is not written for child -en, but for everybody, and when adults read biography they read t to learn of what matter of stuff were made the heroes described. They want the true intellectual and moral character displayed just as Oliver Cromwell adnonished the painter to paint his portrait with Ill the warts and scars. With all he warts and scars the hero stands evealed as he was-a man, with he same faults and foibles possessed y mortals cast from the same clay ut in a more common mould. Without them he stands forth as imply conceited prig and, if they ,elieve the tale, the readers of the
