Champ Clark, the Democratic con-
gresham from the 9th Missouri dis
trict, is in a quandary: in fact, is won-
dering if he has been insulted. On ar
irving in Washington to attend he
present session of congress. one of the
city papers made mention of the fact
that THE Hon. Chump Clark, of Mis-
souri,, had arrived" Now, Clark would
give a years salary to know whether
that word 'Chump' was used inten-
tionally. or if it was a typographical
error

The Cubans of Santiago have a pecu-
liar idea of observing the anniversary
of the death of Antonio Maceo. Firing
bullets into soldiers camps. smashing
furniture in public buildings and other
wise raising the dickens may be the
proper manner to express great grief
over the loss of a brave compatriot and
soldier in Cuba, but it does not meet
with the approval of the American Of
ticerS in charge there.

Wonder how many of the anti-an-
nexationists who are quoting Washing
tons farewell address as applicable to
present conditions, really believe that
the hero of the revolution imagined he
was speaking with prophetic power and
laying down infallible rules for the con-
duct of the affairs of the nation,
Washington was a wise man, but he
had too much horse sense to attempt
to forecast the future of the Union
which he in a large measure created.

Work for Statehood.

What is the matter with holding n
meeting OF the Republican territorial
central committee and take definite ac-
lion in the matter of the bill for admis-

in the cause of statehood would like to
see an organized movement started, so
that the people can have their views
presented in as strong a light as possible
Two or three ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and

something, but an organized effort on the
part OF the Republican party will be very

ALL HONOR TO CAPT. CASTLE!
We haye received personal let er

tells of the enviable record Capt H. A.

fcer. The writer is in the employ of
the government and has been for many

that never before have the affairs of the
Post Office Dspar ment been handled
with such copsumate skill and efficiency
which is certainly very high compli-
ment. OF courte, as good citizen and
also being "a former Minnesotaian, he is
pleased at tie good work of Capt. Castle.
But, as he is also an Afro Am erican, the
fact that Capt, Castle shows such high
degree Of fairness entirely devoid of
color bias or prejudice affords him much
satisfaction. Referring to this matter
he says: "As you know. promotions in
the Departments are controlled by petty

is today. Our forefathers went to the
town hall on the day we now celebrate
sjust because the law permits more
racket than we make in all the rest of
the year put together. They listened
to the teachings and stimulating adj,
monition Of some real statesman. They
sang patriotic anthems and they re-
newed their vows Of fealty to the ma
ton. It is about time to get back to
the good old way Of doing things in
many matters bearing directly upon

Throuuhout the Revolutionary War,
Primus Hall was the body-servant of
Colonel Pickering, of Massachusetts. It
was we'll known that there was no eff

whose couosal was moe esteemed by
him, than that of the honest and patri-
otto Colonel Pickering. Whenever be

to admit Of it, he passed many hours
with the Colonel. Washington was
therefore, often brought into contact
with the servant OF Colonel Pickering,
the Departed Primus.
On one occasion the great general was
engaged in earnest consultation with
Colonel Pickering, in his tent until after
the night had fairly set in. headquarters
were at considerable distance, and
Washington sgnified his preference to
staying with the Colonel over night,
provided he had spare blanket and
straw, enough? "Here you have given up
your blanket and straw to me that
may sleep comfortably, while you are
obliged to cit through the night"

The enthusiasm Of the patriots at
hearing the intelligence was unbound

side the hall and in the streets, an
xiously awaiting the result. When it
was announced at noon the state house
bell, on which was inscribed Proclaim

and melodiously and the throng gave
vent to long and loud shouts of exulta-

The old bell ringer had been at his
post since early morning. He had
placed his boy below to announce when
the declaration was adopted. so that
not an instant might be lost in trans
ferring the glad tidings by means of
the bell to the waiting multitude. AS
the wearisome hours passed and no
sign came to him the aged bell ringer
finally exclaimed "They will never do

he heard his boy clapping his hands
