President Mckinley at the Philadelphia
Convention. Mr.. Spooner is one of the
ableSt and most effective orators in the
Senate and is also one of President Nc
kinley's closest personal friends. Speeches
seconding the nomination will be delivered
by Gov. Roosevelt and others.
1t is understood that the work of draft
ing the platform, will be intrusted to Senator
Platforms already adopted at the various
state Conventions.
A feature of the Philadelphia Conven-
ton will be the presence, as guests of the
Republican National Committee, of the
surviving delegates to the first Republican
National Convention held in Philadelphia
in 1856. There are about a dozen of these
delegates, one of the number being the
venerable Galusha-A. Grow, Congressman

The President spoke of Gen. Otis in
terms of high praise, and said he would eS-
teem it a privilege to join in doing him
honor. He questioned, however, the pro-
priety of his doing so. No one, in his judg-
ment, should be preent, who, by reason
of his superior rank, would necessarily
share the honors which were intended for
Gen. Otis alone. He would, however, talk
the matter over with Secretary Root, and

GIVEN AWAY FREE.

The great blood purifier, Zaegers Swedish
Essence of life, is to be given away free to
readers of this paper. This famous remedy
comes as near being bodily restorer as we
are ever likely to find. When taken into the
stomach it acts so pleasantly upon the diges-
ton that good, healthy appetite results, and
the liver, bowels, kidneys and bladder all
come in for share of the new strength and
vigor. rheumatism, backache and headache,
biliousness and all nervous diseases are rap
idly cured, as well rs diseases peculiar to
women. There are times when a person
would give almost anything to be rid of a
frightful headache. Zaegel's Swedish Essence
will relieve it right away; and the sour stom-
and the hundred or more little ills with which
we are attacked so frequently will be quickly
trouble themselves to doubt whether this
remedy will do all these things, as you can
have free trial package first and see what it
does for you. 4G
zaegers Swedish Essence is so we'll known
that probably quite number of our readers
are already using it, but this makes no differ
ence, as free trial package will be sent to
everyone who writes. Do not neglect to get

to sit down this minute, write letter to NJ.
r. Zaegel & Co., Box s15, sheboygan, Wis,

you by mail and is large enough to convince
you of the merit of this celebrated household

seeing the Star Spangled Flag still floating
from the ramparts Of Fort McHenry.
When the morning dawned, after that
long and fearful night of battle, which
gave no sign, except when lighted by the
Iilrid flashes of exploding shells. the whole
scene made awful by the laundering of
cannon, anXiollSly the two patriots watched
and waited, peering through the port holes,
to get some sight of the old flag, if it might
be still waving. The mist, clouds and fog
rolled between, and they wondered and
trembled lest the red cross of st. George
waved in its place. Presently, as If the
Master had said peace. be still, there was
calm on the waters, and in the early dawn
mist clouds lifted, and through the riffs
they caught glimpse of the Star Spangled
Banner, still floating in the breeze, giving
the signal of protection to the brave hearts
who had fought all night for its honor.
The two patriots fell upon each others
necks, and wept for JOY. Mr.. Key drew n
letter from his pocket, and on its back
pencilied the first stanza of our National
song, ",The Star Spangled Banner"
When the bombardment was ended

troops, and was advancing on Baltimore.
This was on the 18th of October. Six
thousand men were in line, but the Ameri-

Gen. Ross was in advance, with a re-

few minutes. The British were defeated

SAVING TEN THOUSAND MILES.
Mayor Phelan of San Francisco, on the Value
of the Ship Canal to the Pacific Coast.

Expanding trade must find an outlet
Barriers must be broken down. The Pa
cific Coast is cut off from the great centers
| OF civilization by a continent and a sea.
Railroad transportation is expensive and
our merchants and producers languish
under Its exactons. Artificial conditions
are created in the interest of the transconti-
mental railroads, which are to-day the
principal opponents of the construction of
the canal writes Mayor James ID. Phelan,
of San Francisco, in The Saturday EUen-
ing Post.
In 1873. the Union and Central Pacific
| Railroads forced San Francisco merchants
to enter into special contracts. Those
refusing could not get the railway service
at all, and the condition was that the
merchants contracting should abandon the
sea and use the railroad exclusively
| Until 1893. the date Of its dissolution. the
| Iranscontinental Association subsidized
the Panama Steamship Company and the
Pacific Mail In order to bottle up San
| Francisco and exclude its merchants from
the advantages Of the sea and its com
| petltlye rates. The merchants organized
and fought back with some success, but the
| lact remains that the long route by the
Horn has embarrassed the Pacific Coast
and retarded its commercial development.
| How has it been embarrassed? Three
| thousand miles Cf continent and II 900
miles Of ocean stretch between us and the
| Atlantic Seaboard. BY means of the
| canal the sea distance can be cut down to
| about 5000 miles. That is the main con-
Sideratiou.
'Now, the Pacific Coast of the United
States consists of producers. rather than
manufactures, and as ocean freights are
so very much lower than those by rail, the
saving Of distance, with the consequent
dIminutlon OF time, means prosperity for
the producer, whereas our lumber, wheat
and fruit industries have so far yielded
their deserved profits 10 the railroads
New York in Is DAYS and Europe in % will
give our merchants some control of the
market. Now, most shipments are specu-
iatiye. and go forward to an uncertain
goal"
