IT FLOATS.


the vote of the bad man instead Of in
creasing his power by your not voting at
all.
1t is when we realize the actual person.
aiity OF our country, though made up OF all
sorts OF diverse elements, that We can be-
/ gin to understand something OF the spirit
that actuated Hale. He was in love with
beautiful girl; he was fun OF life and
hope he had been we'll trained at Yale
college; and Congress had especially
honored him by making him captain
after a short service before Boston; vet all
these things he counted as naught when
set against the interests OF his country,
word that is too often hay and misty In
our minds as to its true meaning.
Hale knew it was something worth
fighting for, worth living for, worth dying
for, and he was either right or he was
fool. Surely not the latter; for we are
running hither and thither to honor him.
But if right, what conditions have altered
pray, to make us less interested in the
future of the country? | can imagine
visions of Americas greatness floating
before the disteuded eyes ofthis boy OF 70;
and the thought of even making the
smallest contribution to its great needs
was sweet to him and he did not shirk.
He was prophet and 50 are We, all of
US who understand aud live out the belief
that our country's history and power,
glory and might, do not begin and end
with our little tiny selves, but that we are
items in the greater circumstance of
the moving forward of the nation. Most
OF us are not called upon to render our
services TO the country under his trying
conditions. All that we have to do is easy
compared with that done by this brave
young lad. WI hat we have to do, as it
were, is to hold up our hands and be
counted for the right and against the
wrong; yet even this some Of eur coward
natures shrink from, as though life were
given to US merely to drift down the
stream like a twig.

PRESFNT-DAN THOUGHTS.
by q. aRosvENoR DAVE.

\ Model for Voters-In City Hall park.
New York, stands the statue OF beardless
youth whose elbows are tied behind his
back. The cars of hurrying commerce
and pleasure roll by him, and crowds
almost as unhceding As the cars themselves,
glance at the figure and pass on.
This youth died one hundred and
twentythree years ago without knowing
anything of the outcome of the Revolution,
and without ever dreaming that his statue
one day should stand as quiet protest
and quiet appeal. Men of greater
moment than this earnest, hearty, pa
triotic school teacher served all through
that war and with distinction, yet their
names are inscribed even less deeply upon
the hearts of some OF us than is Nathan
Hale's.
He was spy and he met spy's death,
Just as Major Andee did later on upon the
American side. Many others were pics,
and not all were caught, yet of them We
hear nothing. Nathan Hale's memory
lives because. when he was about To die,
he said al only regret that have but one
life TO lose FOR my country" That is the
metal with the true ring; that IS the
heroism that tells, because it does not
count consequences; that is the life that
lives though life be yanquished; that is
the selt-torgettulness which prompt, his
countrymen to an unfading memory.
Next year the schoolhouse in last
Haddam, Conn, where Hale taught will
become a museum, and relies OF this brave
young man viii be gathered there, to-
gether with other historic things that
should be preserved forever. Our country
is doing well by its constant endeavor
through the various historical societies, to
preserve statues, and houses, and treasures
that tend To make the past more real to
the present day child.
What is tiale's quiet message to us across
the years OF change that separate his time
from ours? Is II not that our country
Ought to be to each OF Us very real thing
"a personality ! might almost say We
are too often possessed of a feeling OF ina
patience and disgust with some partcu-
larly obnoxious eighbor, and some Of Us
rise up cvea in our wrath and declare that
so long a. this or that bad man votes w
will not vote, and long a. this or that
bad man has power we VIII Intentionally

Once upon time woman in society
gave one OF those grand affairs which the
society editor calls Function. All the
papers reported it fully; one paper
reported it at especially great length, and
in glowing terms recounted the charms OF
the hostess, and the elegance of the affair.
Afterward she was heard to complain to
her friends of the growing evils OF news
paper notoriety, and "for her part she
wished there was law against such news
paper reports as the one in question:"
This was the more interesting In view OF
the fact that the aggrieved lady had writ
ten that particular article berseIf-every
dot, dash and comma. every gushing adjec-
tive was her very own. This il no fairy
tale, II it does begin with "once upon a
time. 1t Is told not because it is any
thing SO unusual, but because it seems to
indicate that if reporters cannot write so
as to please everybody, neither can every
body write 50 as to please himself.-Er-

Political Notes.

Ex-Governor W. j. Mcconnell
will go before the next republican
state convention as candidate for
the nomination for congress.
Senator Shoup is candidate for
reelection and Judge Heyburn will
contest with him for the honor, in
the event of the legislature being
republican, while among the fusion
forces former Senator Dubois and
Governor Steunenberg will be
the contestants. In the event of
deadlock, Willis Sweet is re-
garded as republican dark horse,
and w E. Borah will occupy like
ground among the silverites.
State Senator ooding is a can
didate for the republican nominal
ton for governor, but Major Frank
A. Fem, a Philippine war hero,
has been spoken of in previous
years, and would now be hard
man to beat in convention.
Auditor Bartlett Sinclair seems to
be the only man spoken of for the
fusion nomination for governor, and
it is said that his nomination is
favored by Governor Ste nuremberg.
Congressman Wilson is the only
name mentioned so far in connec-
ton with the fusion nomina alton for
congress.
The fight next year will be the
hottest in the history of the state
The republicans expect to wipe out
the 1000 pleurality against them
and carry the day. They expect
to make large gains on the success
of President McKinley's admins
tration and by the return of large
nur- Der of Silver Republicans who
have had enough of fusion and
democracy.

Moravia Movements.

Mr.. Nels Peterson gave dance
for the young people of Moravia,

of the in element weather il was
well attended, and all had an en-
joyable time. Mr.. Byron Walker,
and brother, furnished the music.
Among those present were Messrs.
Popp of Naples, and Riggs, and
Ray, of Elmire.
Some one interferred with the tie
cutting at Naples and vicinity, and
several workmen will be much
worsted. There is a class of people
who should be provided by the pub
lie with some business to attend TO
when they have none of their own.

pared by the scholars for the event.
Mr.. Dunn and Mr.. Christensen
are putting up very substantial
buildings to use in the poultry in

as many times farmers receive or

for eggs, and are unable to fill
the orders.

Exciting Runaway.

There was an exciting runaway
down in Gainesville last night
which the Hesperian describes as
follows:
Last night shortly before 10
O'Clock bay horse attached to a
carriage came dashing down Com
merce street at furious rate. In
the carriage was the young daugh-
ter of w. S. Greer, the harness
man. The crowds on either side
of the street yelled a warning to
all pedestrians and called to the
young lady to keep her seat. The
horse had slipped his bride and
there was no way to control him.
When at the corner of Commerce
and Broadway a shot rang out,
the horse staggered but continued
to run until he had reached AL
bert's meat market, where he sank
to the ground and expired. Bob
Ferguson fired the shot, and
it was a good one, the bullet en-
tering just behind the left shoul-
der, a few inches above the heart.
The young lady was taken home
unharmed.

A Prosperous Farmer.

Andrew Hardy was in town to-
day looking more cheerful than the
average farmer. Asked why. he
said everything was suiting him
exactly, he had no cause for COM
plaint, he had no weeds on his
farm, his wheat was in good con-
dition in the stack, he had threshed
80 acres of oats which made him
60 bushels to the acre, he did not
have a boil worm inside his fence,
for he did not grow cotton, and
his corn and hogs are both fine.
