rift, L. S. A.
"The army in the Philippines hadIevery-
thing the War Department could furnish.
We lived well and did our duty and are
proud of it. The Administration has
been long suffering and has been abused,
most greatly abused. Yet it has done
more than any other Administration has
done. 1t may have made mistakes, but
where have you not found them in ma
ton not prepared for war.
"During the Administration of the Civil
War no Secretary was more outraged than
Secretary Stanton, and he came out in
triumph. We have another Secretary Of
War, who has made fewer mistakes anti
perhaps been more abused. l am glad to
bear testimony at his home in favor OF
Secretary Ager. He has done nobly. He
had bureaus under his control not as well
fitted as they might have been, but the
Administration has come through it all to
the satisfaction of all except few malcon-
tents. He has right to all the admira-
ton that his neighbors give him.
Through him has been attacked the
President Of the United States, and he is
almost sick at heart of it. He is noble
man who has stood at the head of this ma
ton, with no promises to make, no plati-
tudes to indulge in, but has given us an
honest, faithful administration.

administration of the War Department
during the recent struggle. The history
that the school children will he taught will
be summed up with the statements that
on April % Congress declared war against
an historic nation, nation with a vast
army, twenty times the size of the army
of this country at the date Of the declara-
ton; that in less than three months
the War Department had called out its
men. armed, ammunitioned and equipped
force that in less than ninety days
brought the proudest of nations to her
feet asking for peace.
"And that history will say that that
achievement was without parallel in the
history of the world. 1t will say that in
stead of Cannot OF France, the greatest OF
European War Ministers, and instead of
Stanton of our own country, that this
great accomplishment was under the direc'
ton of Russell A. Ager.
"Every soldicr-and see some before
me WHO were wiki the army at Santiago
every one will testify that during that
campaign there was not one breath Of com
plant from soldier on that Island. There
was not one question Of objection about
the rations that were issued, and there
was never a suggestion that they were not
of the best quality"

From the Speech of General Horatio c. King, of
New York.
"The war came upon us unexpectedly.
A false economy had limited supplies to
the bare necessities of our little army of a
scant %, 900 men. With marvellous rapid
ity this force was increased to 100000.
The whole country was taxed to its utmost
to equip and provision this force. Bound
about by regulations, well suited for times
of peace, but ill adapted to the emelgen-
cles of great war, there were delays and
discomforts, mistakes and blunders, suf-
ferlng and distress, but all of them trifllng
when compared with the great war of the
rebellion.
"Out of it all came the army and navy
with record unsulied and, in many re-
spects, unparalleled in history. Happy
would it have been had the results been
accepted without carping criticism and
malign abuse. l strongly deprecate this
abuse, and especially that which has been
heaped upon an honored guest of this
evening, the Secretary Of War. As all
things come to him who waits, so will his
full vindication come, and come very soon.
The war of the rebellion had the scape-
goats, and to-day their memory is revered
by every careful reader of history, and so,
too, with all those now slandered stand
forth in the clear lighs of events, judged
by the grand results they have accomplish
ed, and not by the fulminations of partl-
san malevolence and Misrepresentation"

The Treaty Carried by an
Abnormal Majority.

The majority for the treaty is
still piling up and in the aggregate
has now reached 2524 in the ma
ton. If at all the precincts yet to
be heard from every vote is in op-
position, the treaty will still carry,
as their combined vote is little in
excess of 2000. 1t had best be
made unanimous. The majority
in Tahlequah district is 170; Co.
ingsnake 81, Canadian 143. The
only two districts from which lit
tie or nothing has yet been heard
are Flint and Saline and their
combined vote is quite small. If
there is to be majority against"
in any district in the nation, it is
calculated that it will be in Saline
and as several influential full
bloods were working for it, a
"stand off, is the worst expected
there. Delaware, complete, 740

Every Good Goose Should Begin to
Lay"

This being Candlemas day, y,spec-
ial services were held at the Cath
olic church in this city, as well as
in every one in this great wide
world of ours. According to the
Catholics it commentaries the
day when Christ was presented by
his mother, Mary, in the temple.
On this day the candles used in
the service are replaced by new
ones which are blessed by the
priest, a very interesting cere-
mony, the candles symbolizing
Jesus Chlist-the light of the
world. The institution OF the feast
of Candlemas, according to
church cyclopedia, dates from
heather times-as, in fact, do
most of the church festivals. 1t
was the old Roman custom to burn
candles to the goddess Februa,
mother of Mars, to scare away evil
spirits, and the month February is
named for her, as March is for
Mars. The institution of the
Christian feast Of the candles prob
ably dates from the reign of Justi-
nian, and the year 542 is fixed up
on as the date OF its first celebra-
ton as such. It's character as a
feast of publication (whence the
substitution of new candles for the
old ones) is derived partly from its
connection with the word feb
ruare" (from Februa) or purifca-
ton, and the fact that in February
the purifcation of the people took
place; and the candle feature from
the rites of the Lupercalla, whose
celebrations on February Is in
cluded the lighting of candles in
allusion to those used by Ceres in
her search for Proserpine.
In England Candlemas suggests
the coming of spring, and hence
they have the saying, "Candlemas
day every good goose begins to
lay" In New England, however,
it marks the middle of winter, and
they have it, "Candlemas day
half the wood and half the hay"
