GREAT MEN AND POLITICS.
All of the Foremost Statesmen of
America Were Pronounced
Partisans.

Somebody says that Lincoln was a
partisan. OF course he was a partisan.
He was a republican from the party's
foundation until his death, and he was
d wing previously. Every statesman
who accomplishes anything is neces-
sarily partisan. Popular opinion can
not be ascertained nor the popular will
carried out except through the medium
of parties, says the ST. Louis Globe
Democrat. Ever since the foundation
OF the government, save for few years
In the so-called EZRA Of good feeling"
during Monroe's presidency, there were
two great parties in the country, and
everybody who counted for anything in
politics belonged to one or other of
these parties. Every president has been
partisan. Washington was one.
though many writer's pretend he was
not-that he held himself outside and
above each Of the parties of his day.
Washington belonged to the party Of
Hamilton, Adams, Morris and the
Pinckneys the party which constructed
the framework of American institu-
tions, and which laid down the lines on
which the government has been con-
Quoted by every party which has con-
trolled it-federalist, democratic, ma
tonal, republican, wing and republican.
He was federalist. Lincoln was an
avowed, courageous and persi stent par
tisan. But he was never sectionist
nor a demagogue.

mo OPPOSITION"

From an extensive correspondence all
over the 18th Congressional District, as
well as the tone of the Republican press
of the District, the Clarion is able to
discover but very little opposition to the
denomination of Hon. VIM. S. Mesick,
for Repressentive in Congress, and that
only exists where there was "little post
Office fight" and because Mr.. Mesick did
not have post offices enough to 90
around, the defeated candidates are the
ones that are kicking" and in the
language of Petroleum V. Nasty, think
more of post office, than they do of
the principles Of he Republican party. There
are only three points in the district that

New Firm.

J. A. Pogue, the younger son OF
Jos. S. Pogue, has been taken into
the firm which is now Jos. S. Pogue
& Sons, carriage builders and deal
ers in farm machinery. J. A.
Pogue has been employed for sew
eral years in the painting depart
ment of the business and will con-
tinue in entire charge of that
department.
The firm manufactures about $50
vehicles yearly, besides handling a
large line of farm machinery and
harness.
AS an evidence that their work is
appreciated an order has just been
filled from Senator a. l.. Crothers
for fine canopy top barouche.
This vehicle, of all home manufac-
ture, is handsome piece of work
throughout and is a credit to the
firm and the purchaser.
With the opportunity for secur-
ing such first class carriages, made
here at home, it seems like folly
for parties to purchase vehicles
from distance and neglect home
patronage.

Mr.. EDITOR Having just arrived in the city
from your beautiful county in which feel SO
much interest, it is with the greatest pride and
pleasure that learn of the movement inaugur.
ated to erect monument in memory of that
noble fellow who was lost with the " Maine" Mr..
John A. Kay. He was noble fellow and knew
him we'll.
1t is true others from Cecil may go down to
untimely graves as the result of the war but none
just in the manner he did-the victim of a foul.
mean, underhanded piece of treachery. If they
do, their names will be honored in some way, and
l hope no one will hesitate moment over a
donation to this noble purpose on that account.
1t is too narrow and too small to hesitate over any
supposed reason for withholdinga donation. IT'S
true, any cemetery or any town in the county
would like to have such monument, but all
cannot have it and but one can have it.
Brookview Cemetery Company started the great
project-originated 1.-THE cemetery is right
among the scenes and incidents of his childhood
days and school boys days and just the place for
it, and no one can but be ashamed of thought
that envies those who pushed the matter forward
or exhibits any spirit of envy because it is not to
go some other place. 1 find such an idea pre-
walls but do not believe it, as it savors too much
of cheap patriotism.

Sixty Minutes of Sunshine

Was the unique title Of one of the
most unique lectures, by one of the
most original characters ever wit
messed by Rising Sun audience,
on last Friday night in the M. q.
church. Rev. F. Burgette Short,
OF Epworth M. E. church, Will
mington, was the altogether orig
inal genius who delivered the lee
ture. The admission was a "silver
offering,' the object of the Golfer
ing" being to help liquidate an
immense debt resting ON a Will
mington church.
Rev. Short has been gifted by
nature with overwhelming powers
of expression. His lingual gift is
something wonderful-might be
likened to a tropical jungle run
wild and oyergrown with flowers
and beautiful sh1ubbery, all I'M
kempt and free from the hand of
art; or to a rushing mountain riv-
ulet, that dashes at it's own sweet
will among moss covered rocks
venerable with age only, flinging
sparkling spray from tiny cascades,
gurgling in murmuring eddies that
in the next moment is rushing,
roaring waterfall, lending variety
to the rugged landscape, pleasing
the eye and charming the ear of the
strolling tourist. The jungle with
its tangle of rich exuberance needs
the hand of the landscape gardener
to add symmetry and order to
natures wild beauty in order to
redouble its charms, and the wild
mountain stream the science of the
engineer to add utility to beauty,
and make the idle, runaway water
aid the power of man.
Rev. Shorts rare gifts also need
the controlling power of discipline,
the harmonizing of order, pruning
of superfuous branches which sap
the substance of the parent vine,
in useless sprays, In short, the
Rev. Short needs a course of severe
discipline under competent mas
ter, with hard bit and tight rein
of self restraint. AS things are
allowed to wag at present this wild,
natural fruit is being more than
half wasted.

F. N. /. Entertainment,

The pupils of the Friends Nor
NAL Institute of Rising Sun, which
school has been under the manage
ment of Miss May Rodney as prin-
cipal for the present school year,
gave an entertainment on Thursday
evening of last week which was
interfered with by the thunder gust
that came up about the hour of
assembling. The entertainment
was repeated on Saturday evening
when favoring skies prevailed and
full house rewarded the efforts of
the talented, tireless, persevering
teacher and her pupils.
Miss Rodney has evidently learn
ed the secret of first impressions
and the artist who uses that knowl-
edge is almost sure to win the prize.
The first thing to attract observa-
ton on entering the school room
was star spangled banner at one
end of the curtained stage and a
Cuban flag at the other. When the
curtain was drawn aside, the chorus
for the "Song of Welcome" stood,
not on the conventional school ex-
hibition stage, but in a coy room
resembling lady's boudoir. Per-
haps but few suspected that the
warm background and curtained
sides of the stage so artfully draped
by cunning brain and female hand
had so much to do with the pleas
ing effect the first act on the pro-
gram inspired, and prepared the
audience to anticipate the pleasure
in store for it during the evening.
The program from "Song of Wei
come" to "Closing Song" was well
chosen. Not a single piece Jagged
in interest but almost every one
was applauded heartily. The train
ing in the rehearsals had been most
careful and thorough, and by an
accomplished instructor. Not a |
hitch occurred in the entire per
and some of the recita-
tons were quite lengthy too. The
entertainment in its every feature
was the best, we think, ever given
in Friends Normal Institute.
