tie cry calculated to arouse the patri-
otism of every American, but we feel
confident that the name of Helen M.
Gould passed along the line of battle
would have aroused Il spirit in our
soldiers no enemy could Withstand.
Let the historian of our war write
the part taken by Miss Gould with a
golden pen. Let her patriotism and
her lovely character live to animate
others of her sex We trust that no
titled fortune seeker of the old world
will ever carry off this American jew
ell. Let it brighten the home of some
gallant one who can claim the proud

April is here, but has failed so far
to bring with it the warm sunshine
that we so much long to see. The
weather prophets have been telling
us that we would have an early spring
but if spring does not put in its ap-
pearance pretty soon we will be
inclined to think that there are false
prophets yet in the land.
There has been an unusually large
amount of maple sugar made in this

If IN defending the republican
party, its past history, its glorious
achievements, it's present prosperous
administration of public affairs, and
its promising future be an offense in
the eyes OF our people then do we
plead guilty and stand ready to abide
by the consequences.
We always held to the opinion and
still cherish the sentiment that party
organs, be they State or county, that
havej fought the battles and have
defended the great issues appealing
to the people at large, deserve some
recognition when their party trium-
phant at the ballot box is seated in
power. If anyone is to be rewarded
and to derive profit from success in
political campaigns shall it be those
who have arrayed themselves on the
opposite side, or again, shall it be
those who, without political ties, are
pleased to call themselves 'independ-
ents'? A party in power should be
supported by officials in office and by
patronage bestowed upon those in
sympathy with the principles advo-
Gated by the party. This has always
been the case and always will be. We
claim nothing more and will insist
upon this rule as nothing more than
our due If the board of county com
missioners think otherwise the repub-
licans Of Garrett county can pass
upon their action and undoubtedly
will.
An independent paper has no party
10 appeal to, no platform to stand
upon, no principles to advocate save
only such as it may see fit to advance.
Occupying lin its own imagination
only a lofty position it is ready at all
times to attack the great political
parties that have ruled the destinies
of the nation. Expecting little and
yet hungering after the loaves and
fishes, it is thankful for what it re-
ceives and with extended palm
humbly pleads for more. With no
constituency to support it it tries to
be happy in the thought that the
entire county would be benefited by
following its advice.

a gentleman had a sale to advertise. He
called upon the publishers of Oakland to give
bid for the work. The regular price for the
work was about $24. Itwas taken by one of
the offices for SG.-Mountain News.
Such cut throat business should
have stop put to it. And the pub
Usher who takes advertising at such
cut throat rates should be fired out of
the "biz. Piedmont Independent.
We have investigated the above and
find that no such price was made by
the Democrat and we are positive that
the gentleman having the work done
did not call at this office. 1t was prob
ably pipe dream on the part of
the editor of the NeaCS.

Advantage of Being a Country Boy.

The town boy as a rule dresses
better at his daily work than the
country boy, but he has to pay for it,
too, or is supposed to. The necessi-
ties of the case demand it. He is
constantly in contact with men and
women, strangers, and if he removes
his coat, collar or tie he will be repri-
manded by his employer-it matters
not how warm the weather. The
country boy on the other hand is free
to seek comfort at his work, and best
of all there is no one to say to him
nay. He is his own master, may
wear what he chooses, work when he
likes and quit when he desires.

The Frostburg mining JoUrna1
is favorable to the formation of a new
county to be composed of parts of
Garrett and Allegany counties and as
a foundation for its policy uses the
figures of Hiram p. Tasker who claims
that there are over 105 square miles
of territory in the two counties not
assessed.
The JoUrNaES article is as follows:
Hiram p. Tasker, here short time
ago looking after landed affairs along
the new Garrett county boundary
line, says there are 47,712 acres of
land in Allegany county non assessed,
and, therefore, untaXed, and 2l,S11
in Garrett-67, ,523 in all.
That is over 1861 square miles.
If the assessors have missed all that
territory in so important matter as
keeping the taxable basis as high as
possible, how do the geographers,
with no such incitement nor interest,
know that there are less than 1900
square miles in the two counties?
Fellow-citizens, why not move to
ascertain whether there are over 200
square miles in the two counties, and
in that event move yet further for
another county-GeOrges Creeb by
name.
Nothing will so surely and everlast-
ingly stifie that sickly depreciation of
bad feeling between the people of
the mining region and the people of
this city, which is piped out to us
now and then as if we cared or ought
to care anything about it.
While we are antagonizing the de-
structiveness of pulp-mill prosecu-
tions, why not at the same time look
for emancipation from the tyranny
which makes such prosecutions pos
sible?

At Monday nights session of the
House a letter was read from Miss
Helen NJ. Gould, Of New York, thank
ing the Legislature of Pennsylvania
for their resolution in recognition of
her kindly offices during the recent
war with Spain. The letter, which
was addressed to Hon. Jere b. Reed,
chief clerk, House of Representatives
Pennsylvania, states:
"Will you kindly convey to the
members of the Senate and the House
of Representatives of Pennsylvania
my sincere sthanks for their kindness
in passing a resolution in recognition
State during the war.
while | do not feel entitled to the
many expressions of appreciation and
good will that have come to me since
the war with Spain, | am none the
less deeply touched by them. ."-Balti-
more Sun.
The above speaks volumes, and the
millions who will read it will read it
us bright page in the history of our
late unfortunate war. "While | do
not feel entitled to the many express
sions of appreciation and good will
that have come to me since the war
with Spain, | am none the less deeply
touched by them" Noble words and
befitting the kindly charitable woman
who uttered them. She could help
and she did help in the hour of need
how many fully as competent fail
ed? We have nothing to say of them
but of Miss Helen Gould too much
cannot be said.
Thousands of our gallant soldiers
have and will bless her for her timely
help. Such acts nerve the heart of
the soldier, and the country whose
defenders go forth to battle, stimula-
ted by the patriotism of the gentler
ones left at home, presents living
breastwork no enemy can carry.
Who shall say that woman is power
less in time of war?

LOVES GUERDON.

Light of Love above us glowing
Glowing bright through boundIess space
Though to us dark shadows throwing
Lacking hope and heart of grace.
Heart of grace to raise our vision
Far above an earthly sky,
Finding there the fields Elysian
Love will bring us by and by.
Running through the drifting ages.
Shining in the passing years
Hand of God upon the pages
Hope is love and doubts are fears.
Hope is love, and love is living,
Doubt is death and dark despair;
Hope is love, and love is giving
All the joys the angels share.
Lacking hope-did we but know it
Love will fill our hearts and more
And our lives with gIadness show it,
AS we pass from shore to shore.
Hope win bid us lift our vision
See the shadows drifting by;
God is love, and loves sweet mission
Lifts the clouds from out our sky.
Hand in hand-the promise golden,
Written in the Book of Seers,-
We will walk as in days olden,
If we love Him all the years.
Hand in hand-and yet falter;
Oh, to reach sublimest joy
Love is cleaning at His altar
Death and darkness to destroy.
hsOeath and darkness-still the grave
Is the portal Of our fears,
Darkly rolls the passing wave
Of the silent fleeting years.
Death is naught but going thither
To the heart from whence we came;
Birth is death, it brought us hither-
Death is birth, in Christ's dear name.
For the stream of life is flowing
Through the portal He has made
Light of Love benignly glowing,
Bids the soul BE not afraid"
Throbs the spirit full of meaning,
When it thrills with wondrous love;
Sight of seer is not all dreaming,
Visions come from God above.
IL we love Him-words well spoken
When we knock at heavens gate,
All the mysteries will be broken
If we watch, and pray, and wait
