Its easy to make a ny kind OF a
good resolution. But to make one
or two and stick to them through
the year, is usually very difficult.
However, it will pay any body to
make one or two good resolutions,
and then persistently try to carry
them out. Each resolution formed
and successfully carried out makes
the next one easier.

BRYAN OR BUSINESS.
The Success Of One Means the Failure
of the Otter

The Success Of One Means the Failure
of the Otter.
When Mr.. Bryan passed through the
Indiana gas belt he was given ocular
evidence OF the fear and distrist in
spired by his policies. He saw several
hundred wire and nail makers taking
an undesired vacation-and why? Be-
cause dealers in these workmen's prod
ucts, believing Mr.. Bryan's success
would cut on their sales. have refused
to place their usual orders until after
election.
Confronted with the undeserved mis-
fortune inflicted upon these wire and
nail makers by his candidacy, Mr..
Bryan resorted to the usual Democratic
lie. He told these men made idle by
fear Of himself that their employers
were trying to ..intimidate" them. Mr.
Bryan's excuse for evils caused by
himself was not received with enthus-
iasm, because his hearers knew 1t was
a lie. They know what every American
knows:
1. That his employer cannot tell
how he votes. 2. That his employer
is governed by business facts, and not
by political sentiment 3. That his
employer Is not so foolish as to sacri-
flee the profits of several weeks work
to the vain hope of compelling" his
employees to vote a certain way, when
the employer cannot obtain the slight
est assurance that the employe has
voted as the employer may desire. A.
That his employer does not throw
awny his money, and that to shut down
factory with work offering would be

MARSHALL ON EXPANSION.
An Opinion by the Great Chief Justice
on Florida.

on Florida.
Following are extracts from a Su-
prcme Court decision made by Chief
Justice Marshall concerning the status
Of the then recently acquired territory
Of FlorIda. Florida was purchased for
$15.0OO.OOO. The decision is found on
page 5i1. Chief Justice Marshall. first
Peters. The important passage Is ms
follows:
''The course which the argument has
taken will require that In deciding this
question the court should take into
view the relation In which Floridn
stands to the United States. The con-
stitution confers absolutely on the gov
ernment of the Union the powers OF
making war and of making treaties;
consequently. that government possesses
the power of acquiring territory. eith-
er by conquest or by treaty. ~
"The usage OF the world is, II ma
ton be not entirely subdued, to con-
slider the holding of conquered territory
as a mere military occupation until Its
fate shall be determined at the treaty
OF pence. If 1t be ceded by the treaty
the acquisition is confirmed, and the
ceded territory becomes a part of the
nation TO which II is annexed, either
on the terms stipulH ted In the treaty OF
cession or on such as Its new master
shnll impose. On such transfer OF ter
ritory II has never been held that the
relations OF the Inhabitants with each
other undergo any change. Their rela-
tions with their former sovereign nre
dissolved, and new relations nre created
between them and the government
which has acquired the territory. The
same act which transfers their coun-
try transfers the allegiance Of those
who remain In 1t, md the law, which
may be denominated political, is neces-
sarily changed, although that which
regulates the intercourse and general
conduct Of individuals remains In force
until altered by the newly created pow
er of the state"

AsorHER rig rrRx AT HEBRON ACADEMY.

HEBRON, JAN. ~.
The Bellevue House waa burned last
night. A chimney got on dre about 10
O'Clock and the building caught from
that.
The Bellevue Was comparatively new
building. IL was owned BY r. X. Glow
er, who ran Il as . boarding house for
students, OF whom there were about
forty In the building at the time. On
the 6rst door were the store Of II. l..
Nelcher a Co. and the post Office. The
coUtents Of the post Office were saved,
and some goods which were Ia badly
damaged condition.
The loss Is estimated at $1,000, with
smsll Insurance.
II was a terrible night for fire. Some
OF the other houses In the near vicinity
were cleared, as they were In danger,
but fortunately the fire Was confined to
the building 10 which IL started.
The academy work will not be serious
ly interrupted, though many of the
students lost books and other posses
sions, and the loss of this house and the
Trustee House, which WAS burned In the
fall, with the new dormitory not COM
pleted, leaves the place very short of &C
commodations for the large body OF
students.

one with the word Father" the other .
large one with the dates 1850" and
1890" between which were the nations

"For you, Grandpa, from the children"
Other presents were given after which
bountiful refreshments were served con-
sisting OF cocoa with cheese strsws,

There were twenty-four present and at q

words: "A little story which relates to
Buckfield, and which think would be

The editor Of the Democrat IL familiar

having received them some years ago
from Secretary Longs genial uncle, the
late Msjor Lucius Loring Of Buckheld, u
man of blessed memory.
The Hersld's clipping runs as follows {:

up over Cooper, and The Spy which
was the first Of his novels 10 give him

not only the great figure Of Washington,
but there are three characters OF the
novelist's own creation which he has
made very familiar. One Is the patriot
spy, Harvey Birch, and the other two
are Sergt. HOLSTER, the American troop

sutler.

"Last September Mrs. Long and l
drove TO the little farm where these old
lived. Near the old
house, on q small hillock, Is the family
burial ground. and we looked st their
unmarked graves, and paid our silent
tribute TO their patriotic service, and to
the great American novelist, who has
made their story immortal. Do you
wonder I went to see the play, and that
as sat through il my fancy wandered
to that far-off rural scene:"
