The Hospital Corps Man.

They have sung of "The Regular Fight
ing Man"
And 1.-THE Yankee Volunteers"
But I've heard not a note for the liOspi-
tai Corps,
The great Corps of Hope and Cheer.
Sharing the tolls of march and camp
Mid heat, drought and drcnching damp,
No weapon he carries but those for the
strife
He wages so nobly 'gainst Death for Life.
The stripe of Hope on his clothes he
wears
The sivercd cross on his cap he bears,
The "Brassard of Mercy" upon his arm,
Then forward midst battles wild alarm;
Whittier life or death awaits him there,
For Duty only he gives a care
When the Dogs of War have flashed their
teeth
In the frame of some best loved one,
To the rescue the Hospital Corps goes
forth
And gives aid till all is done.
Humanity's Army, the Red Cross Men,
Full honor and praise be theirs;
Mother, sister, sweetheart and wife,
Follow them with your prayers.
May the ranks of that army for aye in
crease
Till all march meath the Red Cross
Flag
When the Dogs of War have their fanGs
pulled out
And in chains forever shall drag:
Hurrah! for the Regular Fighting Man
And the Yankee Volunteer,
But don't forget to give "WhOOp'
For the great Corps of Hope and Cheer,
Ida NJ. Sharp.

To Establish a Free Library.

A movement is now on foot to estab-
lish free library of reference in Ma
Mia. The project is just in its infancy
and 1t will probably be some time before
it will be an accomplished fact. Colonel
Miley, customs collector, has been active
In collecting the basis of n library, and
has made some substantial progress.

the present time no place where biogra-
phieal, geological, legal or scientific
knowledge can be secured. The need
OF some place of reference is apparent to
business and professional men II tho
facts relative to any subject have not
been thoroughly pounded into the Uranium
1t is as bad as a lost part of the anatomy,
for there is not a respectable encyclo-
paedia in the city to which access can be
had. A general move on the part of the
English-speaking citizens will soon put
the matter in shape.

senate tries to work in secret the facts
leak out. No secret treaty with Eng
land has been before the senate during
the Mckinley administration and none
is likely to come before it, for the rea-
son that our international relations
with that country, as, indeed, with
all other countries, are to an uncom-
mon degree open and above-board,
neither needing nor desiring the screen
of mystery.
a little reflection should show to any
open mind that no secret alliance with
England or any other power is needed
by the United States. We stand, more
than any other power upon an impreg-
nable basis of our own. We are the
only power in the world capable of
growing within our own borders in
abundance all things required to sus-
tain well-nourished and generous ex-
istcnce; we are the only power not SER
iously dependent upon any other power
for anything i'm the category of human
necessities; our territory is more de-
tached from the circles of foreign in
trigue and dissension than is that Of
any other nation; our people, upon the
| average, are better educated and more
| self-reliant than are the inhabitants Of
| any other nation, while in numbers and
resources they are sufficient to make
| preposterous any fancied need of for
! eign protection. The late war has
| shown to others what we have known
! ourselves for some time past-that the
! United States is potentially the strong
est power in civilization, and in view
of all these circumstances. what con-
Ceivable motive could prompt an Amer
! lean administration to enter into n
secret foreign alliance, even if it had
under the constitution the authority so
| to do?
! Secretary Hays letter to Chairman
Dick of the Ohio Republican commit
! tee, printed elsewhere, is so obviously
| in ConsOnance with common sense that
no one but a fool will disbeleve it.
| The attitude of the United States, al
ways inspired by the desire to culti-
vate friendly relations with the other
| nations OF the earth, is now subject to
a new incentive toward amicable con-
ditions. We are becoming an exporting
nation. We are selling goods of Ameri-
can manufacture to the peoples of
Europe, Asia and Africa, more and
more each successive year. Not only
I abstract prudence but also specific self,
interest now strongly prompts our gov
ernment to endeavor to develop by all
honorable means the most cordial feel
ings between itself and the various
| governments with whom it's citizens
are beginning to have large and ex.
panding commercial dealings. Hence
the manifest folly of tying up with any
one foreign power in a manner to pro.
woke the jealousy or the resentment ot
the others.

Manila,s Public Schools.

Tho superintendent of public instruction
is highly pleased over the success and
progress made i'm the public schools under
his supervision In the forty schools
of the city there is daily attendance
of 3,7OO pupils, English is taught at ev-
cry school, at least enc hour day, and
it is surprising the interest and advance
ment in the study of English that is man
ifested by both pupils and native teach
ers. School is held six days in the week
The morning session extends from 730
to 1870, and the afternoon session from
2,3O to :.
The little ones are enthusiastic over
the study Of the English, and they can
be heard repeating words and phrases
learned at school as they pass along the
street, They are very bright, and their
disposition to initiate is a wonderful help
to them in mastering the many difhul-
ties of the AnglO-SaXOn. The teachers of
Spanish who have not heretofore mani
Tested much interest in the English are
now more enthusiastic than the children.

A MEADOW DARLING.

one day I met a little maid who roamed
the meadows over
A slender, winsOme little thing. oh! so
very fair to see.
1 lost my heart completely when she
leaned to kiss the clover.
AS she wandered through the meadow
with the butterfly aid bee.
When apple trees We're blooming, through
the orchard she was going
l have seen her at the pasture bars,
and coming up the lane,
Or along the dusty highway, where the
pink wild rose was growing;
And I've met her on the hillside, smil-
ing brightly through the rain.
They say her name is Marguerite this
darling of the meadow
With her snowy pointed ruffle and her
yellow shining hair.
When June puts on her robe so green of
shifting shine and shadow
And the robins wake the country side
you'll find the daisy fair

The Darker Side.

Cities like Manila have their vendotti
One probably exists at this time Dur
ing the past two or three months, a
dozen or more murders have been com
mitted in the Tondo district. A half
dozen Cinnamon have been stabbed to
death; a half dozen more have been as
saulted with evident intent to Kill, and
will carry scars to the grave made by
the knife or dagger; American soldiers
have been warned to keep out of that
district or suffer assassination. 1t is
evident from this that sentries must be
alert, not only for individual safety, but
for the safety of others.

No Entangling Alliances.

4 FORMAL denial from the sec
retary of state, Hon. John
4 N Hay. was hardly necessary
to establish the falsity of the
accusation made in the Ohio Demo-
cratic platform that the Mckinley ad-
ministration had entered into a secret
alliance with Great Britain. The man
who is sufficiently well acquainted with
the ways of our government to be en-
titled to have an opinion upon a ques-
tion Of public policy knows that the
United States could not, if it would,
become a party to a secret alliance.
The only alliance which it can make is
by formal treaty, and that, to be effec-
tive, must secure ratification in the
senate by the assent of two-thirds Of
the senators'-a condition effectually de-
structiVe of secrecy. Even when the

The Rainy Season in Manila.

One of the questions that crosses the
ocean to Manila in letters very frequently
is this: Does it rain very much?" or
when does the rainy season COM
menCe?"
The following figures will show when
we have rain in Manila, and how much
we have. From observations extending
from 1865 to 1897 the Manila Observatory
has deducted the following table showing
the average rainfall in inches for each
month; also the average temperature:

President Schurman's statement OF
conditions in the Philippine archipelago
removes authoritatively many popular
msapprehensions and is particularly
interesting in it's estimate of the SER
iousness of the task which this gov
ernment has assumed. But, as he
says, the fact that the job Is
a hard one constitutes no rea-
son in morals why, having en-
tered upon it's accomplishment, we
should now become discouraged and
cry quits. If the contract is larger
than was anticipated, the thing to do
is to turn on more steam.

Work to Commence On Several Fine
Buildings at Once.

The progress sive impetus Grange
vile has recei we'd within the last
six months has been too great to
be given any serious setback from
mining manipplators. Evidence of
this may be 70 ound in the important
building contr acts which have just
been let, the work to commence
thereon almost Immediately.
The contract for the new Alex
ander Il Friedenrich building has
been awarded to Messrs. Madgwick
4 White of Lewiston. Work on

proximate cost to be $4,000.
The contract for the fine Ma
sonic Temple has been let by the
architects, Messrs. Douglas & Kron-
nick to V. Holtz & Son and w. H.

completed by September 10Th. The
approximate cost will be SIS, 800.
The firm of architects above
mentioned have succeeded in or
ganizing planning mill and lumber

Portland, where he will purchase
q modern plant arranged to be
driven by water power. The plant
will be shipped with dispatch to
Lewiston and hurried here under
Mr.. Kronnick' e supervision. The
same power furnished the electric
light company's plant will be util-
lied during the day by the planning
mill company, namely the force Of
water above the reservoir.
