THE REGULAR.

A song for the Regular A song and a

For the man in blue who's grit clear

From end to end O. the year he goes
with little enough for pay).
Through summer heat. through wintry
SHOWS. where duty points the way.
o. little he cares for the cyclones breath
or the blizzard's nor west sweep.
Content enough with his quarters rough
and never a growl at his keep.
Ready to dig or ready to die, ready to
So long as he knows he is giving his blows
to keep the flag on the breeze.
A grasp for the Regular, A grasp for the
brawny hand
That seeks not TO shirk a soldiers work
however it cast or planned.
Q, Srudging enough. in the hour of peace,
is the praise for his manly deed;
But the people know where their faith
must go in the day of the nations
When the dogs of war are out on the
trail, when the foe has loosed his
pack.
Whose trusty rifle is ready then to bay
him doubly back?
Who meets him wherever he dares to
claim a rood of soil in fee
And make him feel the might of mis- steel
from mountain crest to sea?
Our hearts to the Regular, Our hearts to
our dauntless son
Who clears the way for a freemans sway
with his freeman's sword and gun.
We saw him rush through tropic brush
to succor our gallant Wood.
And Wei he knew. when the bullets flew
where the forts of Caney stood

wrote from his streaming veins
When down from the Heights of San Juan
he looked on the Cuban plains?

THE PHILIPPINES TO THE FORE.


The settlement of the terms of peace
will confront the country with many
serious and important questions. es-
pecially SO far as the retention of
Spain's captured colonies is concerned.
In this respect perhaps the Philippines
present the most difficult problem. The
president and cabinet seem averse TO
their retention as whole, though they
win probably favor the cession of a
coaling station. on one of the larger
islands, or an island as such.
This government is under no more
moral obligation to the inhabitants of
the Philippines than ii was before
Dewey sank Montojo's fleet. His fleet
went to Manila bay, not to succor
Filipinos, but for the purpose of de-
stroying SPANS naval power in the
Pacific, that American commerce might
be safe. II. since Dewey has been an
ehored in Manila bay, anyone in the
Philippines has needed protection, it
has been the Spaniards rather than the
insurgents. This government is under
no obligation TO establish a protector
ate over the Philippines, which might
be agreeable to the people, who would,
in all likelihood, object to their coming
absolutely under the authority OF the
United States In arranging the terms
of peace, this country can easily pro-
vide for freer trade conditions and es-
tablish preferences in favor of Ameri-
cans. 1t is not its business to under
take any religious propaganda there,
to break down the established religion
or set up new one. The final dispo-
sitiOn of the Philippines will rest
chiefly with the senate, though what is
agreed to by the president and Spain
viii probably control
The San Francisco chamber of COM
merce has adopted a resolution urging
the president to retain the Philippines.
1t goes. even further than this, declar-
ing that the government should keep
all the colonies it has or may wrest
from Spain. To adopt that policy would
be TO abandon brutaIly the object of
the war, and turn it into one of con-
quest. 1t is a declaration in favor of
retaining Cuba, despite the solemn dec
laration OF the congress and president
of the United States that the United
States had no intention to annex Cuba.
The resolution of the San Francisco
chamber of commerce is nothing but
a declaration in favor of selfish greed.
The conservative attitude of the
president and eabinet3on the question
of the Philippines is that of the Ameri-
can people generally. 1t is to be hoped
they will allow nothing to swerve them
from it.

York didn't fire shot except at a few
old hulks that had hauled down their
flags. and came boiling up to the Colon
about an hour after she had surren-
dered to Commodore Schley. There is
a very bitter feeling between the New
York and the Brooklyn. They are very
jealous of US. and we hate them for the
petty meannesses they have shown us
ever since they came down here. There
will be free-for-alf fight when the
crews get ashore together, with a lit
tie firewater inside. We are all grow
ing Schley boards; they will be all the
rage when we strike New York.
This same officer tells how Commo-
dore Schley took Fighting Bob" Evans
down in a style quite as effective as the
one used on Cervera's fleet. He says:
Captain Evans was aboard, blowing to
the commodore about how the Iowa
sank two destroyers and two cruisers.
He was about to go on and claim the
other two cruisers as his victims when
the commodore dryly remarked that he
was sorry the Brooklyn didn't get into
it, and that she didn't fire a shot You
should have seen Fighting Bob shut
up. This incident is characteristic of
both men. Here's the way we sing it
now:
Where was Sampson when the fleet came
out?
Where was he. and what was he about?
Come, my little man. tell me If you can,
Where was Sampson when the fleet came
out?
Captain Evans will be known as
Dragging Bob instead of Fighting Bob
if he is not careful.

Did the soldiers appreciate those
night shirts we sent them?"
Il should say So; they used them to
clean their guns. Chicago Record.
There are more point and satire in
that than appear at first. 1t is to be
feared that much of the efforts of the
noble and charitable ladies of various
societies in behalf of the soldiers have
come to no more than sending them
night shirts that were destined to be
torn into shreds for cleaning guns.

New York Tribune: Amid all the talk
about German interests at Manila il is
well to bear in mind that there are only
four German trading houses in that city.
that there is no direct line of vessels be-
tween Germany and the Philippines. and
that no cargoes are ever sent from either
country to the other. The amount of Ger
man trade must therefore be small. 1t
could not well be large. The chief pro-
ducts of the islands are sugar, hemp and
copra. Evidently no sugar could be sent
to Germany, which is a sugar-exporting
country. The hemp goes to all parts of
the world. but chiefly by way of Great
Britain The coprais practically all taken
by Great Britain and France. The tobac-
co, now minor product. goes chiefly TO
Spain, or did before Admiral Dewey inter-
fered with the trade 1t is one thing to
and very different thing to try to establish
new interests.
Los Angeles Herald: The statement. so
strongly emphasized from Washington,
that the administration is determined to
permanently annex Porto Rico. should not
be construed literally. The 'administra-
ton has no power to annex that or any
other island. We must first capture and
possess Porto Rico, before we can make
any disposition of it whatever. Then we
shall have to await the termination of the
war, wait until the terms of peace are
agreed upon. wait for congress to meet
wait for the ratification of the treaty
wait for the formal cession. We hope
soon to hear that our flag floats over some
portion of Porto Rico that our army has
established base there. that an advance
upon the Spanish strongholds is not to be
delayed. and that before long we shall
have driven the Spanish forces from the
island. But all this is in the future The
sending out of such reports as the one
noted only indicates the arrival of the
silly season at Washington. affecting pub

Wedding Bells at Irish Lane.

At the home of the brides parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. George Long, Wednes-
day, August "a, occurred one of the
prettiest weddings of the season, the
contracting parties being their accom-
plished daughter Eva E., and Prof.
M. L. Laubach, of Bloomsbury.
Promptly at Ia O'Clock the bridal
party entered the parlor and were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony
by Rev. J. Vrooman, of Harveyville.
The bride was attired in white or
CANDY and carried bouquet OF bridal
roses. After congratulations were
offered the bride and groom led the
way to the dining room where sump-
tious repast was reserved.
Mrs. Laubach has been one of Lu-
zerne county's most popular teachers
for several years.
The groom was formerly Luzerne
county teacher but is now member
OF the faculty of the Bloomsbury Stale
Normal School.
Their many friends unite in wishing
them long and prosperous voyage
on the sea of matrimony. The pres
ents were both handsome and useful.
The bride and groom departed amid
shower of rice for an extended wed
ding tour-Shickshinny Eeh0.

MUSICAL MATTERS.

Bloomsburg seems to require a
general shaking and stirring up in a
musical way, as within the past few
years there has seemed to be a retro
gressive instead of forward movement
in matters musical. The best way to
infuse new life and stir up an interest
in community is the holding of a
musical convention. Towns like
Wilkes Barre, Scranton and William
sport in this state have their choruses,
and each Spring give an oratorio or
cantata with the assistance of ar Or
chcstra, also having concerts by lead.
ing instrumental and vocal artists, the
affairs lasting several days, and going
under the name of "Musical Festi-
vals." Of course this entails great
expense and the affairs are only kept
up by generous subscriptions. Smaller
towns in this state, or in this section
of the state, are debarred from prlvi-
leges of the sort on account of the
expense. Concerts of classical mnsic
and music of the higher order are
tabood, because people do not hear
enough Of that order of music to un-
derstand or care for. Music that in
Germany is enjoyed by the mass Of
people generally, is to thousands of
people in our smaller towns only so
much meaningless sound.
The smaller places of New England
are being gradually raised to an ap.
probation of the better music, by
means of choral organizations princi-
pally. An experienced conductor is
engaged, generally from the city of
Boston, and rehearsals are held each
week tor months when under expert
enced instruction, they are able to
sing well oratorios and music of that
class.
Musical conventions are often held,
lasting a week or two, for which pur-
pose choral directors, instrumentalists,
and vocalists are hired. Music teach
ers and singers, and people generally
interested in music are given an OPP
portunlty of studying for short time,
and getting up-to-date ideas in teach
ing, etc, from an experienced corps
OF teachers.
Would it not be a good idea to
have something of that kind i'll this
town. The band seems to have made
considerable progress this summer,
but music in other directions seems
to be dead. There are many people
here who like to sing, and need only
something of this kind to stir up inter-
est. A few music lovers should get
their heads together and think the
matter over. C.,
