The way some Of the millionaires are
offering gifts Of batteries, regiments Of
soldiers, private yachts. etc. as a offs
to, the government is becoming some
what tiresome. Uncle Sam is no pau
per. He is>independent and we'll able
to pay for all he needs, providing he
receives all that is justly due him.
These same men who are endeavoring
to gain the plaudits of the nation by
magnificent gifts are the first to raise
objections to an income tax or a tax on
rich corporations. Beware. Of the
Greeks bearing gifts, is an old and.
true saying. The United States need
not go begging, but demands honest
and fair treatment by all Of it's citi--
zens. There is not SO much glory in
paying a just tax as in presenting a
rich gift, but there is more patriot

# there is anything that gives an
editor a swift pain it is to stand and
talk of some way to boom the home
town, and keep the trade at home, to
help some man who persists in send
ing away for his job printing.
How much do you think a
business man benefits a. town when
he can not even afford to take his
home paper, much less advertise?
These same men will take a half dozen
foreign papers and pay good big
price for the same, and patronize for
eign institutions for their Job printing
If they use any-and yet they want
home people to stand by them. Yes,
these men are a great benefit to any
town, We don't think -Delaacare Her,

One thing good about the present
war: land there are good things even
in war; is that it demonstrates that
Americans are patriotic no matter
whether ito the manor born'' or
whether they are adopted children of
our esteemed Uncle Samuel. Neither
race, sect, creed or political bias, pre-
vents Americans from being patriotic.
They love their country and are ready
to tight and if need be die for it re-
CARELESS of every other consideration.
The mere fact that to Republican
administration was left the duty un-
performed by its predecessor Of free

Gratis or Populists or Prohibitionists of
their patriotic duty and privilege of
supporting their president and defend
ing their flag in this most righteous

the Blue and the Gray, the Pop. and

with the Republican and closing up the
ranks of the 100000 men now called
out, we are not surprised at all but say
that is just what is to be expected of
Americans. '-LeS,eur Sentinel. ,

Some of the gentlemen in congress
are awfully afraid that we are going to
depart from some of the old. time
traditions in selling Spanish posses:
slons and annexing the Hawaiian Is
lands. Well, what if we do, wasn't
slavery traditional and constitutional
and didn't we depart from that
