THE SONGS OF 'gs.

The same publishers who issued the

duplicating their record in the war. We
have received from the Oliver Ditson
Company, Boston, copies of three new
patriotic songs which bear out this state.
ment.
"Old Glory is Waving" we reviewed i'll
previous issue. All that we said of this
song by Charles Foneyn Nancy at that
time is substantiated by the enthusiastic
reception it is having in all parts of the
country.
"Our Country Forever" is another IA
vorite. The words are by Frank l.
Stanton, arranged to familiar melody
by Haynes. Meredith. This song was
produced in Boston by Mr.. Stephen
Townsend, the well-known baritone, and
was received with great favor. 1t was
used by many Of the leading organiza
lions on Decoration Day with emphatic
success.
"Columbia's Banner on the Sea-" by
William Arms Fisher, is a beautiful ma
val song with vim and swing to it
which captivates all who hear it. VIZ
recommend all three songs to the atten
ton of vocalists. The title pages are
works Of art, being printed in patriotic
colors with appropriate designs.

Delegates, Your Attention Please.

This is a year in which there
are many differences of opinion
concerning who are the best and
most deserving men to occupy
public positions in the State for
the two years nextensuing. This
: is the time in which all have or
ought to have an interest in this
matter. The conditions of our
government are the most healthy
when all take an interest in it.
In this county we have an inter-
est in the state ticket as well as
the district; besides we have To-
cal interests of our own of much
Importance. 1t is also impor-
tant to the whole country that
the will of all individuals be ex-
pressed. The condition of the
country is always better when
we have a full expression from
the people, and although then
many will be disappointed yet
that is much better than when
half the people are drones and are
either indifferent or sullen. 1t is
also true that the influence OF the
whole people is felt to a greater
extent when they are individually
lively and are interested than
when apathetic, and individual
schemes are then less liable to
succeed. 1t is needless for us to
urge the Importance of a full at
tendance upon the primaries, but
we do earnestly urge upon every
man who is elected to represent
us in the conventions to attend
for neglect to do so shows q
want of faithfulness and fidelity
to those who elected them and
does incalculable injury to the
locality from which delegates are
sent. The election of delegates is
no idle ceremony and for dele
gates to neglect their trust shows
as great a want of fidelity ii
business sentiments as would the
neglect of a trust of any Other
nature. Therefore we hope thai
when any of the rolls are called
that each delegate elected from
this county will respond to hi
name.

A Time for Patience.

It is not unnatural that a feel
ing ofimpatience should be pre-
vading the country over the ap-
parently dilatory action of our
Government in prosecuting the
war with Spain. This impa-
thence is largely due to the failure
not of any promises rprophecies
of the officials of our war or navy
departments as to the duration
of the conflict or as to the man
ner of it's prosecution, but to the
failure of the promises of some of
the newspapers and of persons
who spoke without knowledge
or authority. From these sources
the notion was spread abroad
that the war would be a walk
oyer' for us. and that in the
course of a few weeks after war
was declared, our forces would
be in full possession of Cuba.
Because these absurd and base
les expectations have not been
realized, there is a tendency in
many quarters to complain OF
the Government, and to decry
its war policy as weak, hesitat-
ing and Intellectual. A little con.
slderation of the facts of the
situation will show the injustice
of these criticisms. 1t was only
three or four months ago that
this country was on a peace foot
ing, with a standing army OF
only 5000 men scattered over
a vast section of country, and a
navy just being worked up, for
the first time in it's history, to a
point of strength and efficiency.
To add to these Regulars a body
OF $4,000 volunteers, drawn
