The Call
The clouds grew dark as the people paus-

The Call
The clouds grew dark as the people paus-
people of peace and toll,
And there came cry from all the sky:
"Come, children of mart and soil,
Your mother needs yon-hear her voice (;
Though she has not son to spare,
She has spoken word that ye all have
heard,
Come, answer We everywhere !"
They need no urging to stir them on,
They yearn no urging to stir them on,
At the word that their country calls for
men
They throw down hammer and scythe
and pen
And are to serve and die!
From the North, from the South, from
East, from West,
Hear the thrill Of the rumbling drum?
Under one flag they march along,
With their voices swelling single song,
Here they come, they come, they come !!
List the North men cheer the men from
the South
And the South returns the cheer;
There is no question of East or West,
For hearts are a-tune in every breast,
IT'S a nation answering here.
1t is elbow to elbow and knee to knee,
One land for each and for all,
And the veterans eyes see their children
rise
| To answer their countrys call.
They have not forgotten-God grand not
(Ah. we know of the graves on the
hill.)
But these eager feet make the old hearts
beat,
| And the old eyes dim and fill!
The Past sweeps out, and the Present
A Present that all have wrought;
And the sons of these sires, at the same
campfres,
Cheer one flag where theil fathers
fought!
Yes, we know of the graves on the
Southern hills
That are filled with the Blue and the
Gray,
We know how they fought and how they
died,
We honor them both there side by side.
And they're brothers again today,
Brothers again-thank God on high!
(Here's hand-clasp all around,)
Two sous of one race now take their
place
On one common and holy ground.

The rudy gentleman was purple with

The young woman was in bit OF a

"Oh, dear. no." she said icily. as she
rolled away, I'm not the fool killer"

Naval Movements.

1t has been decided, we are told,
to detach two battleships from the
north Atlantic fleet and send them to
the Pacific station. The two will
probably be the Oregon and Iowa.
They are not to 60 direct to Manila,
but be held at convenient distance
to strengthen Admiral Dewey's COM
mand if need arises in the Philippine
settlement. OF course it is not
trouble with Spain that is deemed
possible, as Spain's navy is at the
bottom of the sea; but other powers
may think of making demonstration
at Manila, and couple of battle
ships within supporting distance of
the squadron under Admiral Dewey
might be handy. The ships will 60
to the Pacific by way of Cape Horn,
and from the time of their arrival on
the west coast Of South America will
be available for dispatch to Asiatic
waters by telegraphic orders.
After the departure of these bat
tie ships there will remain with the
Atlantic fleet the first-class battle
ships Indiana and Massachusetts,,
the second class Texas, the armored
cruisers New York and Brooklyn,
the monitors, and all the cruisers aud
gunboats that we're in service during
the war. The first class battleships

Spanish Domtntons.

From Patria, the New York organ
of the Cuban revolutionists, we take
the following:
When Philip III. began to resign,
Spain was the most powerful nation
in the world. So vast were her pos
sessions in Europe, Asia, Africa,
and America, that "the sun never
set on her dominions;" but with the
beginning Of the decadence, before
his death and in the first years of the
reign of his immediate successor,
nearly all her possessions in North
Africa, Burgundy, Naples, Sicily
and Milan were lost.
In modern times her losses have
been as follows:
1923, Malacca, Ceylon, Java.
1910, Portugal,
164S, Officially renounced hel
rights over Holland.
1919, A number of strong fortress
es in the Netherlands.
1859, Rousillon and Sardinia.
164S-l7l3, Flanders.
1897. Island of Hayti, excep
Santo Domingo.
1904, Gibraltar.
1875, Santo Domingo.
1897, Trinidad.
1900, Louisiana.
1919, Florida.
1902, Mexico, Venezula, Co

Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay

from the Hotel Beau Rivage, where
she had been stopping for several days
to the landing place of the steamer at

archist suddenly approached her and
stabbed her to the heat. One account
says she fell, got up again and was
carried to the steamer unconscious.
The boat started, but, seeing the en-
pres had not recovered consciousness,
the captain returned, and the empress
was carried to the Hotel Beau Rivage,
where she expired.
After striking the blow the man
ran along the Rue DIES Alpes, with the
evident intention of entering the Square
DIES Alpes, but before reaching it he
was seized by two cabmen who. had
witnessed the assault. They handed
him over to boatman and gen

station. He made no resistance. He

Because the Republican majority tell
off as compared with the vote of 1896
and 1894 induces the newspapers, in
all directions, to offer opinions Dem.
ocratic Journals pretend to see star
of hope but the twinkle is evidently of
an illusory nature that causes one to
exclaim now you see it and now you
don't. The hope, as seen by these pa
pers, centers around the rum jug.
They imagine the bottle uncorked and
pretend to see in the helish vapor that
arises the ghost of Democratic success.
The Rutland Herald, the strongest
anti prohibition paper in the state, fails
to see it in that light but finds want Of
interest and general APATHY as the
only cause. Undoubtedly this is true
and with the exception of few repre-.
sentatives chosen the rum question was
wholly without influence. But sillier
still is the mugwump view that it was
all owing to imperialism" This is
the great bugaboo that disturbs the
dreams of the Springfield Republican
and papers of that ilk. No one in
Vermont gives imperialism" mo.
ment's thought. When, if ever, it is
taken into consideration the verdict
will be emphatic and overwhelming.
And it will be wherever the American
standard is set up there it shall remain
forever, harboring beneath its folds
liberty and civilization.
As to the slight falling off in the
Republican vote common sense finds
ready answer. From the time of the
nominating conventions almost to the
hour of the ballot no attention was
paid to the political campaign. Not
since the rebellion has a general cleo
ton been held where so little prior in.
terest was awakened. Not a speech
was made; not newspaper ventured
word, and had they it would not have
been read. One might as well have
asked the people to live Oh corn dodger
and water as to expect them to diet OH
political diatribes when our gallant
soldiers we're lying in the bitches at
Santiago and our invincible tars watch
ing the mouth of its harbor. The war
absorbed all interest and the newspa-
pers, wisely, catered to it and let poll
tics severely alone. In fact these con-
ditions prevailed prior to the nomina
ting convention. What promised, in
the outset, to be sharp ante-conven.
ton fight failed to materialize and all
lack of interest went down to the zero
mark, everything being a foregone
conclusion. Under such conditions it
would have been strange, indeed, had
there not been a large number of stay
at.homes.
These are the reasons and the only
ones why the Republican vote slightly
declined, though now above the aver.
age for the last quarter Of a century.
Vermont Republicans are all right.
No rum nor "imperialism" will sway
them and when occasion requires they
will flock to the polls and the drop of
their ballots will be heard from one
end of the country to the other.
