"DEAR BOY" LETTERS NO. 4

My Dear Boy-As an American citizen
/ am happy over the vast progress made
by the United States during the admin
istration of VIM. Mckinley.
: It is true that the increase OF our
wealth, the enlargement of our posses
sions, and the position which we have
gained among the nations of the earth,
have brought to us vast increase of
responsibility. However, this RESPONSE
bility came to us providentially, unex-
pectedly and unsought: and, if we are
true to ourselves and to righteousness,
the God Of nations will guide us In the
future as in the past.
It is also true that there are some sad
things to contemplate in this connection.
War Is always sad, and we have had
practically three wars on our hands.
None Of them could be foreseen four
years ago. We were pushed into them
and it is good thing that we had so
wise pilot at the helm in this critical
period of our nations history. But while
there are things that make one sad, there
are many more to make one glad, and
it is of these things that wish to speak.
First-The better state of feeling be-
tween the North and the South. You
were born since those old days and can
have but. little idea Of the intense bit
ternsss engendered by the Civil War. It
wasa common saying at the close Of the
war that it would take several genera
tons for the enmity to pass away. Men
thought it impossible that North and
South should come together heartily dur
Ing the lifetime Of the men who fought
the battles and the women who gave
their husbands and their sons to the
Northern and Southern causes. Gradu-
ally the feeling between the sections be-
came better. We made long stride
forward during the summer that Gar
field lay dying and the whole nation,
North and South, watched by his bed
side in anxiety, hope and fear. But the
Spanish-American war finished the trou--

said:
THE manufacturers and the producers
of the United States reaching out for new
markets to the westward will send their
products into San Francisco for trans
shipment to the great steamers lying in
her spacious harbor. The people of the
East, Of China, India, the Philippines
and Hawaii, will all turn to this great
port to make their purchases and to
transact their foreign business.
"The rush for gold is no less great to-
day than it was then, but men find gold
In new ways now. The great captains
Of industry no longer delve it out of the
earth, but win it in the less rugged but
quite as profitable line of trade and com
merce.
There Is fascination to-day to the
man who sends his ships bearing his
goods to the far-off islands Of the distant
East, the islands Of which the poets love
to sing, but toward which only within
the last decade has the face of the Amer
lean merchant been turned.

Veterans Indorse Mckinley.

Veterans of the G.. A. r. held the
opening business session of the encamp-
ment Aug. 20 in Chicago. Joel NJ
Longenecker, commander, Of the Illinois
department, played the leading role at
the meeting, which took place in the
Stakeholder Theater, and before he had
finished his part President Mckinley had
received the Endorsement Of veterans,
representing posts throughout the United
States, The outburst came spcntaner
ously and suddenly and the ex-judge's
commentator was emphasized with a
fve-minute demonstration, in which aged
men forgot their years and clambered
upon seats and yelled frantically. All
this happened while Mayor Harrison,
who had just welcomed the veterans for
mally to the city, sat close by, grim, un-
moved, silent.
The Illinois commander, In his turn,
was rendering the hand of greeting in be-
half of his department and was lauding
the heroes that Illinois had turned out
and that Illinois, hand-in-hand with the
nation, now felt proud Of Lincoln had
been cheered. So had Grant and Logan.
By this time the ex-judge was perspir-
ing and his collar was gradually wilt
ing beneath the strain Of oratory.
"And we have been proud Of a COM
rade who has occupied the presidential
chair for four years." he shouted-the
veterans in every corner moved closer
"and for four years more we will be
proud Of him."
The cheers that greeted the speaker
were beyond anything given during the
encampment. There is no doubt Of it,
the Grand Army is with Comrade Nc
Kinley heart and soul.

that Of expansion. TWAS an American

thing the whole world can do is to settle

have a profound pity for anybody on the
earth who does not live under the pro-

the Almighty Dollar. It was an awak-
ening to them to discover that American
gunners are the best in the world, that
American warships are uneQualled, that

courage, discipline, intelligence and eff

In the present trouble in China the Unit

Here as the American people stand on

As was stated in last weeks
HERALD, plans and specifications
have been received by the school
board for system of automatic
closets to replace the disreputable
closets now on the grounds. No
action had been taken by the
school board on Wednesday. Con-
siderable comment has been stirred
up by the communication signed
Patron" in last weeks issue, and
it is generally admitted that the
writer's points are well taken :
that something must be done. The
question is-what is to be done
To many it seems that to put in
any system requiring a cess pool
is unWise and not economical;
that such system must needs be
temporary and that if anything is
to be done, the evil should be dealt
with in manner that will mean
permanent relief. They advocate
extending the sewer system and
connecting it with the school house.
All will admit that this last is the
best solution of the difficulty, SO
that the whole matter is simply a
question of whether or not the out
lay made necessary by the improv-
ment will be wise and justifiable.
This, then. is what the people
should bear in mind when they
investigates everyone should.
Something must be done. Let all
interested look the question up
and then give expression to their
opinions in the quarters where
such expression will do the most
good-the council and school

The people of this country must
have been prosperous in 1899, as the
statistics of the Post Office Depart
ment shows they wrote more letters
and sent more mail matter that year
than ever before in the history of the
United States. Yet Mr.. Bryan pre-
dicted that If Mckinley was elected
the average citizen would not have
enough money to buy postage stamp.
Yet the people of this country paid
the Postal Department the vast sum of
S95, 600, 900 in 1899 or nearly $40, 600, 900
more than they paid in 1893, and over

Mr.. Eddy on the Issues Of the
Campaign.

Hon. Frank M. Eddy was in the city
between trains on Saturday on his
way home from Morris. AS usual, he
is very sanguine of Republican success
in the fall.
Speaking of the issues before the
people in the coming campaign, Mr..
Eddy said there are only two real is
sues: first, shall we, or shall we not,
retain the gold standard; second. shall
we, or shall we not, retain the territory
acquired in our r with Spain. On
the first issue Mr.. Eddy thinks that the
great majority of the people have un-
alterably made up their minds-the
gold standard has been adopted for
good. AS to the retention of the Phil
ippines. it is Mr.. Eddy's opinion that
there is very little interest being man
ifested by people at large in this phase
of the question. There is a general
feeling of confidence in the ability and
disposition of the government and the
American people to settle the question
and settle it right.
Imperialism and militarisu,-Mr.
Bryan's men of straw-will not SER
iously interest the voting public. 1t
is reflection on the intelligence of the
average American voter to suppose
that he can be hoodwinked by any such
trumped-up issues-"paramount" or
otherwise. All talk of imperialism and
militarism in this country is bosll-too
absurd to merit any attention.
Mr.. Eddy thinks that Mr.. Bryan's
speech of acceptance at Indianapolis
is not up to his standard. AS for his
announcement of his plan Of action In
case he should be elected, it is easy to
make and give expression to programs
at this stage of Mr.. Bryan's affairs.
AS president of the United States
very remote possibility-with Con-
gress to deal with, face to face with
the real situation instead OF q hypo-
thetical one-Mr. Bryan's plan would
