ATHENA, MARCH %, 1898.

Fusion was the result of the de-
liberations of the democrats, popu-
lists and free silver republicans in
convention at Pendleton, Friday
last. The harmony which pre-
vailed, and the declination Of many
who were placed in nomination for
different Offices, point strongly to
the fact that the offices, generally
speaking, sought the man, and not
the man the Office. The ticket
placed before the people is, there.
fore, one that has been placed by
the people and not by machine pol
iticians. The ticket, in our estim.
alton, could have been stronger in
some individual points; but where
is the ticket that could not have
been made stronger, had it been
remodeled q second time? The
party lash is thing Of the past;
and the old way Of voting for a
yaller dog, if he's on my ticket"
doesn't go any more with the in
telligent voter in local politics.
Promises have been held out time
and again by the Office. seeker to
the voter for more economical gov
ernment in our county affairs, but
no material good has come from
them. Democrats and republicans
alike have made promises that
have never been fulfilled. Prop
erty owners of the county, bur-
dened with taxation, have turned
on the extravagant methods in
vogue heretofore, and resolutions
are ripe to support only men who
will strictly practice economy in
Office. We say it and we sincerely
believe it, that the ticket now be-
fore the people and the one to be
brought into the field by the re-
publicans, stand on their merits
only, and only on their merits will
they be supported by the people,
irrespective Of party affiliations,

From the tenor of the Portland
dispatches it is cleaned that fusion
is not having smooth sailing in the
convention. J. P. Young, chair
man Of the populist state central
committee, heads a considerable
following who are in the middle of
the road, and who are doing every
thing in opposition to fusion. In
case the populist convention in
sists on fusion with the democrats
and silver republicans, it is prob
able that large number Of dele
gates will walk out of the conven-
tion.

A little more than one-half of
the public domain of the United
States is either reserved or appro-
priated. A report from the inter-
ior department shows that the area
still remaining vacant amounts to
491, ,343,953 acres, without includ.
ing Alaska, which is supposed to
embrace nearly 400,00O,0O0 acres
more. The entire area Of the Uni
ted States is placed at 1,S35,017,-
692 acres. Of this 741,702, 1865
acres is now owned by individuals
or by corporations or by state, or
has passed out OF the control of the
general government. The amount
reserved for schools, Indians, milf
tary and naval purposes, railroad
grants, parks, forest reservations,
ETC., including all territory reserv-
ed from sale for any purpose what
soever, amounts to 132,441,744
acres, SO that, taking the reserve
land and the vacant land together
only about one-half OF the area Of
the United States has actually
passed out Of control Of the gov
ernment, and, if Alaska is includ-
ed, the unoccupied area is larger
by 30o,00O,000 acres than that
which is occupied. Settled as
closely as Belgium this area would
accommodate the 15,0O0,0O0,OOO
supposed to constitute the worlds

The Church and the War.
An Illustration Of the Religious Sentiment
OF the Country.

Trinity Episcopal Church, Detroit,
flies the nations flag from its tower
and the rector announces that it will
wave there every day during the
present war, and thereafter upon
every day of national imp portance.
The raising of the banner to its place
was made the occasion of quite cele-
bratlon, clergymen of two or three
other churches being present in their
priestly robes. Several of the prayers
of the church were read, among them
those for the President and others in
authority and for the nation in time
of war. In the course of his remarks
the rector said -
When we first resolved to raise the
national flag over our church it was
because our nation was engaged in a
war more justified than any ever be-
fore fought in the history of the world.
Now we are able to make this oc-
casion also a celebration of great
victory. We raise this flag in the
hope and expectation that the cause
of humanity and justice, for which
this war is undertaken, shall triumph.
People have come to me objecting to
the raising of the flag upon the church.
l believe that there is no more ap-
propriate places. have small use
for people who cannot lap their reli-
gion over into everyday life. Christ
ian citizenship should be the aim of
every man.
Another speaker said: "This is
an unusually appropriate time for the
flag of our country to be raised over
a house of worship. We raise this
flag in recognition of the business of
our cause and of the fact that we can
pray with the utmost sincerity for the
blessing of God to rest upon our
arms" A great audience was present
on the occasion, and after the SER
vices went outside and watched the
raising of the banner to the flagstaff
and listened to a salute of twenty-one
guns from a small cannon. Then the
people went home with some new
ideas in their heads, doubtless, as to
the close connection between patriot
ism and religion.

There is no better way to keep
alive the spirit of freedom and love
of liberty than to properly celebrate
the National birthday on July 4th.
Of late years, the successful Aineri-
can citizen claimed to be entirely
"too busy for such foolishness," "
and the result is that the good old
fashioned fourth of July celebration,
when the salt of the earth gathered
together i'll honor Of the day and
the men who made the day, has
ceased to be yearly custom. The
year 1898 seems to be just the prop
er time to revise the old style way
of perpetuating Independence Day.

ARMOR FOR BATTLESHIPS.
sethlehem and Carnegie Companies Put
in Bids This Time.

Washington, May 25.-Bids were op-
.ned yesterday for supplying the armor
!or the three battleships, Illinois, Ala
1ama and Wisconsin, now in course of
construction at the Union Iron Works,
Newport News and Cramps. This is
he second time that the government
sas endeavored to secure bids for sup
,lying the armor of these ships. The
irSt effort, made about a year ago, was
unsuccessful because Congress had
made the minimum cost per ton for the
trmor at a figure below the cost of
reduction. The present naval appro-
Iriation bill having increased the price
lllowed to $400 per ton, to-day's effort
vas successful.
For the Illinois the two armor COM
.anies Bethlehem and Carnegie, divid-
ID their bids, one taking the lighter ar
nor and the other the heavier. For the
Alabama the Bethlehem Company bid
1,022,504, while the Carnegie Company
lid not bid. For the Wisconsin the
Carnegie Company bid S1023, 504. The
ate in each case was $400 per ton fiat
or bolts and armor, the maximum al
owed by Congress The Bethlehem
Company undertakes to begin deliveries
If the armor within seven months af-
Ter contract and TO supply 300 tons

begin December first next and supply

Another Scheme.

A clever scheme is being worked
by pair of smart fellows in nearby
towns. One goes through the country
on good bicycle. When he stri..es
a town he claims to be hard up, and
offers to sell the wheel cheap to let
some money. The boys admire
bicycles and bite readily, paying a
small price for a first class wheel
After a few days the other sharper
turns up and claims to be looking fer
a man who stole his wheel. He t.cs-
cribes it we'll, giving the number, and
the owner has to part with it. The
sharpers raise from $40 to $40 trip,
and start ior greener fields.

The new bridge over the river at
Catawissa has been opened for
travel. The work is all finished
with the exception of filling in at
the west end, which will be done
by the Commissioners, the depart
ment at Harrisburg having advised
them to do so in order to avert any
law suit, which might occur by at
tempting to force the contractor to
do any additional work. This is
one of the first bridges built by the
State under the recent act of the
Legislature.

1t is stated on good military
authority that more men have al
ready volunteered their services to
Uncle Sam than would be required
for five such wars as the present one
promises to be. If this be true, and
it undoubtedly is, there will GER
tainly be no necessity for draft
during its progress. In the late
Civil War against a foe, a great
deal more formidable than Spain
to-day, and when Our strength was
but fraction of what it is now the
draft was not made until after more
than two years Of hard campaign
ing.
So great is the desire among the
young men of Bloomsbury to en-
list, that several became very angry
on Monday evening when they
were informed that they failed to
pass the physical examination and
could not be accepted.
While it is disappointing to the
young men to be knocked out from
going to the front on account of
some physical debility, yet it is per-
fectly right and proper to reject all
who do not come up to the require
ment. When one considers the
over burdened pension roll of to-
day, it is easily seen why so many
volunteers are rejected.
