WE WILL CONQUER FOB THE RIGHT

We are going forth to battle.
We are arming for the strife;
And we hear the noise and rattle
Of nation walked to life
AS to arms! to arms is Numbered
From East unto the West;
For the bond of peace is sundered
At the wall of the oppressed
Forth from every hill and valley
At the battle call they pour
Rally, mighty nation, Rally
AT our glorious cause for war.
For the sake of Cuba, crying
To our people now to come;
For the sake of Cuba, dying
For her freedom and her homel
For our slaughtered heroes. sleeping
Meath the stars and meath the sod;
For our honor and its keeping
For our country and our God
We are going forward. fighting
For our cause so grand and true,
And the wrongs of others righting
AS the brave alone can do.
Yet rot in revenge, but sadness,
With our nations foe we meet
Though our hearts are filed with gladness
When we think of Dewey's fleet
And our hero, Hobson, sailing
Right into the jaws of death.
Where the fiereest shells were hailing
And life hung as by BREATH
Never halting. never shrinking,
Hobson and his little crew
Thors-their ship beneath them sinking
Drawer deed no man could do
And our many heroes going
Bravely, nobly. to their death
Army, Navy, both are showing
Grander men meier drew their breath.
Noblest heroes did the fighting

THE genial editor of the Hackettstown
Gazette just now is busily engaged in
looking up candidate for the Republi-
cans to send to Congress from the Fourth
Congress District, in as much as Congress
man Pitney does not desire a renomina-
ton. The Gazette should give an extra
turn to its political horoscope. We have
in mind, now that Mr.. Pitney does not
care to enter the race, a bright young Re-
publican from an adjoining county who
would make spirited canvass and be
elected by rousing majority. And he
would also be candidate for whom no
apologies need be made, and who when
elected would continue the able represen-
tation at the Capital that the Fourth
District has had at the hands of Mahlon
Pitney.

ADMIRAL SIMPSONS REPORT

The official report of Admiral Sampson
of he destruction of Cervera's squadron,
and including the official reports of the
other gallant commanders engaged in the
great action, has been given to the public
through the press, and we have read it
with close interest.
No one more than we could regret that
this magnificent naval feat should have
been succeeded by widespread impress
sions that distinguished Commodore in
personal command in this action was, for
obvious reasons, being shorn of his merit
ed honors; and whatever the partisans of
Sampson or of Schley may claim, or not,
for their champion, the intelligent read
ing and thinking public will doubtless
experience little citation on contrasting
Admiral SIMPSONS labored and studied
document in which not once does he
name his second in command save where
the omission was impossible, with the
generous terms of the report of Commo-
dore Schley himself, in which he showers
deserved praise upon the service of every
man engaged, and even credits Sampson,
who was not in action, with full share
in the glory of the day
The Admiral's report is long and mi
mute, but he chooses to omit to record
what has ELECTED naval amazement all
over the world-that Schley's vessel, the
Brooklyn, cruiser and not fighting ship
and having only three inches of armor,
was in the thickest of the fray and sus-
tanned forty-one hits by the enemy or
five times the number of all the others
on our side-and suffered the only losses
in men. But the famed Oregon's report,
by the gallant Captain Clark, submitted
with the others. does not fail of justice
to the officer and cruiser to whom and
to which the Cristobal Colon, as climax
to the grandest naval battle of history
struck her colors on July 8.

A SPOT ON THE SUN.

There is no record of war between Eu-
ropean States where its subsistence did
not involve Interior complications and
continual peril to the new situation. One
might suppose that the development of
astounding naval power by the United
States should of itself absolve us from
this concomitant probability; but the
prodigious mightiness of this country in
peace, that begat universal envies and
enmities, when exhibited in the pursuit
of war has inspired and stimulated Eu-
ropean fears that were not hitherto felt
and has infused an unknown component
into the chemistry of foreign politics
and diplomacy.
1t has long been pretty well settled that
no living creature of the lower orders, no
matter how venomous, will voluntarily
attack man save through one of two inn
pulses, that of hunger or that of fright.
The whole course Of international con-
duct as between states and kingdoms is
founded on precisely these actuating in
stincts. America has been supplying the
worlds foodstuffs, and the latter has
been waxing bilious and envious not less
than fat and saucy. Europe has long
wished to deyour US because of our
wealth and juiciness, and now she will
seek for second cause for assault in
her monumental terror at our dangerous
greatness.
So that we anticipate grave situations
to grow from the war conquests. They
will doubtless obtrude upon the conclu-
sions that are to settle the present con
fiict. and they may embroil us in another
and much bloodier war. But if we are
truly a great country, and if we are cor
rect and just in our war policies, we car
have no care for the ravening or the raw
ings of the Old World. even though the
oftener it sees us at peace the less it will
like us, and the oftener it meets us in wal
the less there will be left of it to bother

Ships Boats of Steel.

Ships boats made of steel, without
seams or frames, and in all respects a vast
improvement upon wood or metallic boats,
have been tried in various liners and cargo
steamers with greatest success. Just as
plstons, back and front plates of locomo-
tive and marine boilers, are stamped true
to gauge from plates of mild steel, so are
these boats pressed out There are nv
draulic presses which carry dies and
stamps, so that the shape produced is that
OF one half of boat longitudinally. A
plate of thin Siemens- Martin steel is plac-
ed in the press and comes out shaped 1t
IS then placed alongside the opposite part,
and the garboards and ends are rivetted to
bulb bar, which forms the stem, keel
and stern. Another advantage which at
tends the use of steel boats is that they
are much easier to pull because the wet
ted surface is so much less; as is also the
skin friction, than is the case with wooden
boats. Weight for weight a small wooden
boat is rather lighter than a steel boat,
but first class ships life boat made of
steel is lighter than a similar boat built of
wood. Lastly, steel boats are cheaper in
the end
Their first cost is somewhat higher than
wooden boats; but, on the other hand,
they cost nothing for maintenance and re-
pair. If a steel boat is denied through by
bad handling carpenter can easily take
out the lndentatiOn with a wooden NAL
let, whereas wooden boat when damaged
requires extensive repairs This facility
OF repair to steel boat is one of it's great
est merits; such is the excellent quality of
the mild steel employed that it will not
fracture. The boats are always available;
they require no protection from and are
unaffected by the weather. Like all YES
sells built of steel, they require considera-
BILE attention to prevent oxidation, but
this is easily effected with the ordinary
appliances on board ship. and, providing
proper care is used, a steel boat, as
steel hull, will last for years. Financial

and all in the poultry business in the
State of Maine, for profit. My reasons
are that they are very hardy, quick
growing, and most profitable fowl for
both broilers and table fowl, with the ex-
ception of the Barred Plymouth Rocks,
on the face of this earth. know from
whence | speak, having tested all kinds;
in fact, Orono has some of my ideal fowl
this year. Please watch the results. For
ducks, Pekin, and for geese the Embden
or Toulouse are good breeds, providing
you are having pasturng enough to keep
the same in. In regard to feeding chick
ems, find in all my experience in feeding
chickens that for the first three weeks,
dry oat meal fed three or four times daily,
with plenty of clean, fresh water is the
best and quickest means to produce a
rapid and healthy growth. Thos. r.

MoNTvILLE. What l know about the
poultry industry has been learned by
reading and observation. Keep small
flock of hens, principally Brown Leg
horns. Do not like to care for hens, and
the products are in proportion to the care
,, they receive. Stock feeding is an i'm
portant matter with the farmer. Much
more coarse fodder is being fed than in
former years. Many farmers feed coarse
folders entirely, with grain rations, and
| find it an economical feed. Corn fodder
and straw are the kinds of coarse fodder
that | feed principally. Run the corn
| fodder through cutter before feeding,
and l think it pays. Corn and cob meal
and mixed grain-meal and cotton seed
make up the grain ration. Raise the corn
and mixed grain on the farm, and buy the
| /, ~,
be very economical feed. Intend to
raise more corn another year. B. F.
Foster.
| MoNTvILLE. Poultry raising is of as
much Importance as any other branch of
business, it probably will pay the best
dividend. There is always demand for
eggs Through summer time they bring
in the least profit; through winter time
they bring the highest price, but are
more care in every way. They must be
supplied with the best feeds, and warm
quarters, with warm drinks. Milk is one
of the best feeds you can give poultry.
| Hens are the most profitable in poultry
raising. White Leghorns and Plymouth
| Rocks, in my opinion, with the Brahams,
take the palm. Turkeys come next i'll
profit. Look close after them while
small chicks; after they get started they
will take care of themselves, if foxes are
not after them, as this is the greatest
| drawback at this place. 1t does not pay
to raise ducks Incubators are of small
\ Importance. All kinds of stock, sheep
( included, are kept in better condition by
/ feeding the poorest fodder in the first
part of the winter, and then feeding the
better hay. Each one knows how much
grain OF meal he can feed with profit, 50
keep in the best line which you have
sheep do much better by giving some

1t is always very interesting to hear
