Mr.. Cuyler Reynolds contributes to
The Century an article on The Manu-
script Of Aud Lang Syne, /" the article
being accompanied by a facsimile of the
autograph. MIR. Reynolds says:
The late Chancellor John v. L. Pruyn
Of Albany was the successful purchaser
Of "Auld Lang Syne" and the one to
make the autograph one of Americas
treasures. The facts regarding it's re-
moval to this country are of peculiar in
terest, and they bring the history of the
autograph, now more than a century
old, up to date.
| Mr.. Pruyn was lover Of curios, and
particularly Of the kind connected with
an interesting past, and his collecting
showed a refinement not evident in the
taste of the usual collector. In 1859 the
centennial Of the birthday Of Robert
Burns was made the occasion for a cele-
bration in different cities of the United
States, and the literary people of Albany
decided to observe the day by memorial
exercises in large hall on the evening
OF the day. Previous to the event Mr..
Pruyn planned that it would be fea-
ture if he could secure this autograph
copy Of the poets "Auld Lang Syne. I"
Henry Stevens was famous purchaser
for collections in those days, supplying
Mr.. James Lenox, Mr.. John Carter
Brown, the British museum and others
with some of the most valuable old
works, and thereby hangs tale to be
told later. He owned the verses in ques-
tion. He was a friend of Mr.. Pruyn,
and correspondence regarding the mat.
ter in hand began.
The result was that Mr.. Stevens sold
the verses to Mr.. Pruyn, and the manu-
script was intrusted to Captain Moody,
who guaranteed that it should reach
Chancellor Pruyn in time for the cele-
bration. His steamship reached New
York late on the day of the celebration,
leaving but few hours to get it to AL
bany, or the mission would prove fruit.
less The only way was for the captain
to select one of his trusty men. With
this special messenger it was sent from
the steamer and conveyed with all dis
patch directly to the hall in Albany.
Mr.. Pruyn was all expectant when,
during the exercises, he was called from
the hall. Though he was gone only
moment, all interest in what was going
Oh upon the stage was lost for the time
being. Another swing of the door, and
Mr.. Pruyn entered, waving aloft the
manuscript and exclaiming, cit is
here!" With exultant delight and amid
cries of "'Auld Lang Syne' is with us!''
Chancellor Pruyn advanced to the stage
and read the poem through. Hardly
could the people be prevented from
breaking in upon him, and when it was
proposed to sing it through enthusiasm
knew no bounds. Never did chorus so
willingly lend aid, and the familiar air
swelled forth in mighty volume.
The cherished page was bound within
Russia leather covers and with it was
placed letter to DR.. Richmond from
Burns, dated Feb. 2, 1888, proving the
identity Of the writing in the poem and
also the letter written to Chancellor
Pruyn by Henry Stevens when sending
the poem to him.

The important event of the past
week has been the report sent TO
Washington by Admiral Dewey
Of his success at Manila. Like
the report of other great warriors
it was brief but contained world
of meaning to the expectant A
merican people, For days they
had been waiting for a report of
his bold move upon the Spanish
flotilla at the Philippines and when
his brief but favorable report was
carried by lightning to every part
Of this broad land the people
shouted their applause in thunder
Gus tones. From sea to sea d.
cross maintain, plain and valley
reverbrated the joyous shouts of
people whose every sympathy
is in this stuggle for freedom.
Not simply because the Philippines
had been taken, did they shout,
but because another bold step had
been successfully taken for the
freedom of a people who for long
years have groaned beneath the
iron he..l of dispotism. Their cries
are no longer in vain. The civil
cation of the closing century says
they shall be free and with thi:
country for their champion ane
right on our side we shall triumph
for our cause is just.

1t will be quite an interesting
experience for the Utah boys who
go to the philippine Islands.
Many of them have never been
out of sight of the p ocky Mount
aims. The new sights aud
scenes they will see will, without
doubt, broaden their ideas of the
world, and when they return
they will have many interesting
incidents to relate to their former
friends.

after war with Spain was declared
has called forth the most favorable
comments from European military
men, some of them asserting that this
was accomplished with more celebrity
than European armies could have
been gotten in marching order for a
campaign.
If our citizen soldiers meet the Span
iards in the field they will give as good
account OF themselves as did oul
navy on the water. We sincerely hope
that the war may be ended without
the sacrifice of the lives of our brave
men who are now at the front. Rela
tives and friends OF the boys all ovel

and with anxious hearts, and while
/ all feel that the country's honor ii

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

We heartily endorse the patriotic
call signed by a number of our leading
citizens which is published elsewhere
in our columns today. 1t will indeed
be the most practical way of showing
our love for our country, not by vast
ing money on bands of music and fire
works, but instead expanding the
money in aiding the Women's auxil-
larry of Company ID, to send some OF
the necessities of life to those who
have gone to the front to aid in the
defense Of our country. Every person
in the county is certainly interested
in the noble and unselfish cause in
which these ladies are devoting their
energies, and they should receive ma
terial aid and assistance from every
one. We have no doubt but what
every one will be anxious to contri-
butte his mite towards making the
meeting a success, both financially
and socially.

DJsC0URTEOUS TREATMENT

At1le last meeting of the Maryland
Democratic Editorial Association the
editor of Tho Kgis made some sus-
gestions in relation to the future poiiey
OF the Democratic party IN MAKING
nominations which resulted in the
appointment of a committee TO con-
slider the matter and to formulate
resolutions for the consideration OF Ihe
association. The editor of 1he @f9'S
together with two other members Oh
the association were appointed Oh
this committeeman he thinks that
.Lo oo+ion of the other members OF the
committee in acting in the ma0ter
,vi+bopt either consulting or notifying
him. was to say the least discourteous
and he feels that the treatment ne
has received is inexcusable. lnimany
cases il is undoubtedly true that there
is nothing whatever in the idea or IN
the person who makes an effort to
bring about some reform but 1t Is
sometimes better policy to give him an
opportunity to fully express his views
for such expression, if the idea mas
no merit it is not apt to do harm, Out
how can it be determined whether 1t
has merit or not, if no explanation Is
permitted.
In this case there was no desire TO
criticise or to kick oUer the traces but
il was intended to see if some plan OF
conducting the primaries could not
he devised which would give more
satisfaction than has been given in
the past, and in that way secure to
the party at the coming elections the
party's normal strength. There Is no
sense in shutting ones eyes or stop
ping ones ears to the fact OF wide
spread discomfort in the party. AT
every street corner and at every cross
roads can be heard loud expressions
of dissatisfaction and it was with the
purpose of seeing if there was not
some remedy, that the matter was
brought to the attention OF the as
ISOLATION. The editor Of The 1tgts
wishes it understood that he is as
much interested in the success OF his
party as is any other Democrat In the
State, but he can now after the treat
ment he has received at the hands OF
his brother editors, better understand
why it is SO many Democrats are dis
custed with the methods OF past
party management.
