THE ABSENT BOY.

They miss him in the orchard where the fruit
1s summing over,
ana In the meadow where the air is sweet
with new-mown hay
AHo all about the old farm which knew him
for lover,
From the early seedtme onward till the
crops were piled away.
Iney miss him In the village where nothing
went without him,
Where today the young folks parties are
dull and incomplete.
Ihey cannot just explain 1t, there was such
charm about him.
Inc crop OF cheer he always brought made
common daylight sweet
And now he's gone to Cuba, he's fighting for
the nation,
He's charging with the others, lad in
army blue,
His name Is little known yet, but at the up
land station,
They all are sure you'll hear It before the
war is through.
And when you talk of battle, and scan the
printed column,
HIS regiments the one they seek, his neigh
bors think and care:
Inc more they do not speak Of it, their look
grows grave and solemn,
For somewhere in the thick of strife they
know, their boy is there.

RETREAT.

The day is bathed in golden suns=t.
And through each cloud the sh.mmerng
rays
Fall softly. like the summer breeze,
Which in and out through the white tents
plays.
All work has ceased save here and there
stalwart sentry slowly walks his beat
AS on the air the bugle call
Brings to their ears the notss, retreat.
And now In quiet ranks each company's men
Stand fast, and on the outmost post
The watchful sentinels pause the while
Silence falls upon the marshaled host
Parade rest And all pay tribute to the flag:
Reverently, uncovered. the officers stand
The bugle sounds its clarion notes;
Its echoes wake the martial band.
''The Star-Spangled Banner in triumph shall
wave,
Ger the land Of the free and the home Of
the brave
Throughout the camp It's heard by all.
1t is retreat and Ger the camp n'gh's
curtains fall.

star of light 49,
First family shining at its holy birth.
Grew strangely bright,
For It was Truth, and then the sky OF blue
Turned darkly red, ~ '-uo
Wnen wars grim beacon bIazed and threw.
Above the dead "'
breath
Both young and old.
And hurried onward to the arms of death
The brave and bold,
Who fought and fell that Liberty divine
Might always stand
Enthroned within the sacred shrine
Of this fair land.
The star OF Hope CLEANED family through
the gloom
And cheered men on
But for some 1t was the light Of doom,
Waiting anon.
And from the bleed for Truth in conflict shed
There quickly sprung
A nag that rippled white and blue and red
And waved among
The banners of the nat:ong-frst and best
For it was Free
And its stars shall brightly shine from East
to West
Through all etegnity.

and resources with such one as
Spain is; a lusty, vigorous. growing
nation against dying nation. We
must look elsewhere than to national
laurels for what gains we make. And
there are those that overbalance the
cost. First, there Is the evidence that
the spirit Of loyalty, patriotism and
manhood has not lessened in strength
in this generation. The response to
the call for troops; the cheerfulness
with which war burdens have been
met; the response to the call for finan-
cial aid; the dauntless bravery Of the
men of the army and navy shown in
conflict, and the no less striking en-
durance Of hardships shown by the
troops, are supplemented by the chiv-
airy, the generosity shown the defeat
ed, attesting that Americanism. the best
there is in it, has suffered no diminu-
ton in the long interval of peace. 1t
is worth while that a nation be occa-
sionally put to the test to establish
that fact.
Next, we can place to the credit Of
solid achievement the clearing of sun
dry International fictions. Relations
that had been clouded for years by
sentimentalism on one side and selfish
ness and traditional memories on the
other have suddenly become clear.
The line Of demarcation that runs be-
tween peoples of what, for the lack of
terms Of precision. may be called the
Latins and the Teutons. and marks the
distinction between progress and f1xity,
where there Is not retrogression; be-
tween peoples capable Of administra-
ton Of their. public affairs and those
requiring direction and guidance; be-
tween individualism ever insistent upon
its freedom, and collectivism subdued
to submissive docility; between peoples
that exalt>-and those that ignore the
common public school, betokening
brain hunger in the one and brain
apathy in the other, this line has been
obscured Of all that made it dim, and
brought those on each side of it into
closer sympathetic touch. The future
history Of the planet will be writ larger
for this.

Mechanical means in shipbui.ding have

the Cuban instruction Of 1S6S-79. with
the causes remaining and the apprehen-

damages to property in Cuba served to
make our minister to Madrid bit
nervous over possible disturbances with
Spain, and 1t is not surprising to find.

All the older Journalists of New York city
know how Whitelaw Reid played Iago to
poor old Horace Greeley's Othello in the DO
litical campaign Of 1872. When that cam
paign was over the founder of the New York
Tribune discovered that Iago Reid had sup
planted him in the editorial chair Of the
Tribune. The shock of the discovery killed
Horace Greeley. Iago Reid lived on to en-
Joy the fruits of his treachery to his official
chief.
Twelve years after the Greeley tragedy
James G. Blaine was in the field as the presi-
Dental candidate Of the Republican party.
In its character of Republican organ the
New York Tribune supported the candidacy
OF Mr.. Blaine. AS result of this support
thousands of printers threatened to bolt the
Republican ticket because the editor of The
New York Tribune refused to pay union
rates. Every effort was made to induce Mr..
Reid to meet the printers half way in the
interest of the Republican party. But he
oostinately refused to listen to arguments
tnat appealed to his sense Of loyalty to his
party.
Eight years pass. 1t is now 1892, and Mr..
Wh1telaw Reid is candidate for vice president.
IL was for his personal interest that the
long standing dispute between him and the
printers should be settled, and settled it was.
what the editor Of the New York Tribune
obstinately refused to do in 1884 when a.
great cause was at stake he willingly did
In 1892, when he believed he could best ad-
vance his personal interests by complying
with the printers demands.

existence since the Civil war. The class we
refer to are pronounced Anglomaniacs, who
make no concealment of their love for Eng

casion of Queen Victoria's jubilee this class
INDUCED in enthusiastic demonstrations In
connection with that Jubilee. They were fit
t1ngly represented by Whitelaw Reid, who
was sent to England as special ambassador
to represent the present administration.
And now, after rubbing elbows with Eng
lands nobility, Whitelaw Reid has undertaken
20 show his English entertainers that their
hospitality was not unappreciated by him.
With this object in view he has set about
organizing his fellow Anglomaniacs, prepara-
tory to starting propaganda in the interest
of an English alliance. In doing this he is
aotuated by personal motives which in the
main have always had more influence than
loyalty to party or to country
