The Volunteer.

Beneath his country's starry flag
Where thousands stood before
Prepared to fight till life shall flag
And darkness gathers o'er.
CARRIED in his uniform of blue,
Ready to answer Here ~
A man and soldier through and through,
he stands, the volunteer.
'Tis not the joy of clashing arms
That calls him to the tray,
'Tis not the love of wars alarms
That bids him haste away;
For him there's pain and grief and woe.
A wife--a mothers tear,
But loud his duty calls, and 10
He comes, the volunteer.
o, mighty nation, proud and great,
OF strength he is a tower
Behold him, warlike and elate,
In this. your darkest hour.
For you he lives. for you he'll die,
And sell his life blood dear.
And glory's gates viii open on high
Te greet the volunteer.

(BY T. SHELLEY SUrroa.)

How stern this Death The young, the fair,
the old.
Alike must number with his silent fold
Blind to all beauty. deaf TO every prayer,
He drags the world into his cryptic lair;
And he the man who clings TO life-who fears
To leave the treasures OF this Vale OF Tears
Finds first that lair. The man who ever walks
Where foul Disease In all its triumph (O
stalks
Who spreads his cot beneath Upas tree
And seeks tomb In every jeopardy
Shall live through all. The weight of many
years
Alone win crush him down. and as he nears
The all-absorbing grave, his soul shall learn
Thnt there is something (which but few discern
Till death) worth living form final pain
Shall shape goal which he cannot attain.

'Tis Time that draws us TO our last abode
Fate holds the reins and Fate selects the road I;
Enjoy the trip. he takes the shortest way
Through flowery fields and wales in bright
array;
Complain Of it. he checks the pace of Time,
And drives us hellward'with surge sublime -
wild Salard looms before our eyes
Encanopied with dreary, parching skies;
Through caclus-prongs and burning sands we
wade.
With no oasis TO afford us shade
We cry for death Harmattan winds OF woe
In all their fury DER our pathways blow;
We yearn for rest And blindly on we grope
Across that waste of devastated hope.
Until at last in life's Cimmerian West
bright mirage comes creeping DER the crest
or distant voids. Our bosom's vacuum
Is filed with hope and we again become
Ambitious in decline. With outstretched
hands
We totter forward DER the arid sands
Impelled by thirst. The object OF our aim
Fades with the day.
And we must fade the same.

AS time wears on we hear
of some political rumblings in
Custer county, although those
who are looking for Office have
not made the fact public, yet
they are throwing out few
''feelers." The slate is being
made, and whether it will hold
together until the conventions
meet is another question. And
another difficulty they will have
to contend at this Falls election
that they never had to before,
will be the vote cast by the lad
les. Some contend that
very few women will vote, but
we are of the candid opinion that
in this precinct that nearly three
fourths of the ladies who are
eligible will improve the first
opportunity they ever had to
register themselves at the ballot
box. Why should they not vote?
They have been granted the
franchise. and why not improve
it ? Another says that all the
married women will vote the
same ticket that their husband
votes. But time will tell. We
hope the ladies will vote for the
best men or women in the field,
and not be influenced in the least.
What Custer county needs is
good officers to fill the offices,
and party should be laid aside
to a great extent. All parties in
this county, except the Repub-
1ican, agree on the one vital and
important questionable free and
unlimited coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to land why not
unite in one party on fair and
equal terms, and call it a Union
Silver Ticket, or some other APP
propriate name, and only put up
one ticket. This could be done
satisfactorily if the politicians
are relegated to the rear. At
this time it is impossible to say if
this kind of a fusion will be made
on the State ticket. Other Stat
es and counties are forming into
solid silver union, why should
not Idaho and Custer county.
Some things look as though the
''roaders' in Idaho were about
TO control the Populist conven-
ton, but we hope not, for they
are dangerous element, and are
only out for "spoils." If this
kind of people shall domineer,
we will not follow. But we can
only await events. The Mes
SENGER with this week closes its
18th year of publication in Gus
ter county, and during the whole
period of time it cannot be truth
fully said that we ever weakened
in our fight for silver, and will
not at this late day hoist the flag
of truce, nor will we knowingly
support any party or man who is
an enemy to silver-whether it
be the Populists or any other
party. AS we have said before,
let ticket composed of good
officers be elected this Fall-we
need men who are not owned or
controlled by any person or per-
sons, clique, company or corpor-
alton men who dare represent
the people and who have an OPP

Founded on tho ruins of ancient

and overrau the new world. Under the

known in history as Charles v Of Ger
many, the Spanish empire included the
whole Iberian peninsula, tho Baleario
islands, Roussillon and Cordagne north
OF the Pyrenees, the island Of Sardinia,
Sicily. Naples and Milan, Francho-
Oomte, Holland snd Belgium and prac-
tically Austria, Bohemia, Hungary and
Transylvania. In Africa it held tho vast
domain which Portuguese adventurous
had seized. and in Asia tho Philippine
archipelago. In North America Spanish
territory included everything south Of

some years Miranda made occasional
but futile attempts at revolution, in ono
of which he engaged the interest Of the
great Dundouald. Nothing Of impor.
tance was achieved, however, until April
10, 1910, when Caracas openly roso
against it's Spanish governor, Miranda
and Bolivar heading tho revolt. Two
years OF conflict followed, not promising
for the insurgents. Then came an earth
quake. 1t destroyed Caracas, killing q
number OF people. The superstitious
troops Of the insurgents thought it was
an omen, threw down their arms, de-
serted or surrendered, and the rebellion
was at an end. Miranda was captured,
taken to Spain and died in prison-mur-

escaped into the neighboring province
Of New Granada.
In October, 1912. Bolivar re-entered
Venezuela with 500 men, declaring war

entered Caracas in triumph. Then came
reverses, and he had to flee to Jamaica.

How Ruin Came.
At her zenith Spain seemed to possess

to challenge it. That nation was Eng

the destruction Of the great armada.
Tho charm was broken. Spain started

Successors have completed. They drove
the Jews and the Moors out Of Spain.
1t is that fact in Spanish history which
accounts for tho nations decadence.
Tho Jew and the Moor were traders and
artisans They constituted the middle
class, and they were the people which
the fanatioism Of Isabella and the dark
zeal OF Torquemada banished from
Spanish soil When they were gone, the
fires OF tho inquisition were lighted for

scientist, tho inventor, had gone, thero
remained only tho soldier and the. peas

days OF Weyler it has been tho policy of
Spain to terrorize her subjects into sub
mission by torture and butchery. From
first to last this policy has boen fail

EARLY in the sixteenth century the
Netherlands revolted and formed tho
United Provinces. The sturdy Dutch
men destroyed what remnants remained
Of the Spanish navy, and in 1643, at
Rocroy, the Spanish infantry, hitherto
invinoiblo, was beaten and forever
broken. Portugal and her vast possess
sions in three continents were lost in
1910. Naples revoltod in l849 under
Masaniello. He was assassinated by
bravos in tho hiro Of Spain, and after
long struggle the rebellion was sup
