Myers little genuine support. Captain
Myers is kept very busy with his mail, as

SHELBYVILLE, Ind, May 9.-The City
Council met this afternoon and completed
the work OF removing the Republican ap-
pointees. The four Republican councilmen
were absent last night and one of the DEM
ocrats, Elijah Ballard. was sick. Mayor
Roth issued summonses for the Council to
meet this afternoon at 4 o'clock and all
were present. The Democrats have had
several days squabble over the new APP
pointees, but by resolution they were able
to elect the following: Street commissioner.
John Dobbins; market master, Joseph
Hook: sexton of cemeteries. Henry Cour-
tleyow; chief of fire department. William
H. Robinson; electrician, Sherley Caru-
thurs. The office of city attorney was abol-
ished in order 10 remove the Republican
incumbent. Ara Z. Usher. and James H.
Philippi, the Republican civil engineer, was
not disturbed. Police committee elected
were John Day DePrez. Charles p. Hale
and Henry limerick. Fred Kennedy, a
Republican, was elected a member of the
board, but he refused to serve in this way,
thus making the Democrats entirely re-
sponsible for the future conduct of the
city affairs.
Some months ago slot machines and other
gambling devices disappeared from the sa-
looms, but since the election of the Demo-
cratic Council they have again made their
appearance. 1t is not known positively,
but it is rumored that the next move of the
Council Will be a gerrymander of the city.
George M. Ray, in the Democrat tonight,
entered a vigorous protest against the slate
as elected by the Council this afternoon,
intimating that the men who furnished the
work and the money used In electing the
Council were not consulted, He says: 'The
Democratic councilmen should reconsider
several of their proposed appointments,
and at least give places to working Demo-
Gratis. The selections are a sore disappoint-
ment to nine-tenths of the Democrats in
S~helbyville. However, councilmen, like
others, soon forget their friends and are
subject to taking on an air of contempt for
those who do the work and furnish the
money. The appointment of a street COM
missioner lost the city to the Democrats
in 1892 and will lose 1t TO us again in 1902"

suits. And I have no doubt would in
due time have succeeded, backed by the
great moral and material momentum Of
our country. in securing the independence
of Cuba by peaceful means But while
diplomacy was making it's slow and
steady progress catastrophe occurred
which at once put an end to peaceful
methods. On the night of Feb .15, 1885,
the battleship Maine, on a peaceful mis-
sion and lying at anchor in Havana har-
Dor, was sunk and destroyed by an ex-
plosion from the outside. resulting in the
death of 26Os of our gallant seamen. This
made the nation eager for war. so eager
that Democrats, Populists, and Republic
ans alike were all equally swift in rush
ing us into war with SPAIN I remem-
Der very we'll how Populists and Demo-
Gratis in congress chided and criticised
the president and the Republican party
for being less eager for war than they
themselves were. Congressman Champ
Clark from Missouri, one of the leading
Democrats of the house, in a debate,
among other things said:
You talk like you brought on this
war. This is not Republican war;. but
an American war My Republican
friends, we took you by the scrun of the
neck and dragged you into it, and that
will be the verdict Of history. We start

Yes, it is true that it was war Of
the American people, but it was carried
on and conducted sgloriously and to a
most successful issue under the direc-
ton of President Mckinley and his ad-
ministration. Though "a strong and
wealthy nation, we were wholly unpre-
pared for war. Our navy was neither
fully manned nor fully equipped. and our
small regular army, less than 25,OOO and
scattered in small detachments over the
country. was mere skeleton. In few
days after 1t became evident that war
would come, our fleet, thanks to the
great energy of our secretary Of the
navy and his first assistant. our noble
guest and unanimous nominee for the
vice presidency, was fully manned and
equipped and ready for action. On April

On the twenty-third Of April the pres-
ident issued call for 125, 600 volunteers;
this was supplemented by a call for To-
#OGO on the twenty-fifth Of May, and in the
meantime our regular army was In
creased to Co., 600. All this vast number had
to be organized, drilled, fed, clothed,
equipped, armed and nodded into an eff
Sfective army. Considering the fact that we
were wholly unprepared for war, the task
of creating this army and putting it on
a war footing in so brief space of time
as was done, was a manifestation Of re-
source, energy and skill highly credit
able to the administration and to the
American people: No other nation with
so scant a preparation could have ac-
complished this task. so well and in SO
short a space Of time
ION the fourteenth Of June our army OF
invasion-a scant II, 900 -sailed for Cuba
under Gen. Shafter. On the twenty-sec-
ond 1t landed; on the twenty fourth lit
fought its first battle, and on the first
and second Of July it stormed and capt
ured the hills and works Of ErCaney and
San Juan in the suburbs of Santiago, and
the city and Spanish army were at Its
mercy. The Seager valore Of our troops
lead by such heroes as SShafter, Lawton
Roosevelt and Others made short work OF
the war: A war, begun at Manila on the
first Of May, was finished at Santiago on
the third day Of July. There are rapid
firing nations as well as rapid firing guns,
and the United States stands chief among
the former. On the twelfth day of Aug.
ust, the protocol of peace was signed.
On the tenth of December. 1898, the treaty
of peace was signed, and on the sixth OF
February. 1899, 1t was duly ratified by
the senate. In less than year from the
time of the destruction of the Maine, we
had acquired Porto Rico, Guam and the
Philippine islands, and had forced Spain
to relinquish her hold upon Cuba. Such
great results from war so brief and
entailing comparatively so small loss Of
life. were never known before. This war
and this result have infused into the ma
lions of the Old World regard for the
wishes, views and policy of the United
States that they never possessed before.
It has demonstrated to them that we can
no more be lightly reckoned with in war
than in peace. We are no longer to them

from inroads from abroad as though we
had the army of Russia and the navy of

unbiased by party spirit, who is not graf

up to this point it does not lie in the
mouths OF our adversaries to criticise and
object They were at least as eager for
the war as we were. Bryan himself ad-
vised the ratification of the treaty Of
peace, and 1t was the vote Of fifteen anti
Republican senators, now the followers of
Bryan, that made It's ratification possible
Senator Morgan Of Alabama In speech
in the United States senate last May said:
I am proud that our distinguished
party leader, Mr.. Bryan, came to Wash,
ington to urge the Democrats of the sem
ate to ratify the treaty of Paris.
BY thus helping to ratify the treaty
they Joined us and justified us in ac-
uufring Porto Rico, Guam and the Phil
lppine islands. Recent events at Kan
sas City, however, give US good grounds
for believing that 1t was not altogether;
patriotic motives that induced them to-
thus counsel and aid in acquiring these
possessions. 1t seems now that they de-
sired these possessions for the purpose of
securing an issue in this campaign. Agui-
naldo is now their hero and the Tagal re-
bellion, of which he is at the head, fur
nished the basis for their cry of "im-
perialism'' and "militarisrns'' What they
would do with Porto Rico and the Phils
ippines they fail TO state. but that we
have blundered and jeopardized the wef-
fare of our country at home and abroad,
in our management OF these islands, Is
now their great grievance and battle cry
But what are the facts and what is
the law In the case? For two years prior
to 1898 the Tagals in Luzon, under the
leadership of Aguinaldo and his chiefs,
had been In open rebellion against the
Spanish government During the last
half of 1897, and long before the arrival
of Dewey. the rebellion had terminated
by an arrangement between the Spanish
government on the one part and Agui-
naldo and his chiefs on the other part,
pursuant to which the Tagals were to
submit and to lay down and surrender
their arms and Aguinaldo and his chiefs
were to leave the country. In considera-
ton Of this there was to be general am
nesty and certain reforms were promised

The Cubans were then, and had been for

to second their efforts by peaceable

acted, and the favorable results predicted
to flow therefrom have been attained in
even greater measure than we could,
after such nightmare Of distress, hope
for. Even before any legislation was
passed, the very fact that Mckinley had
been elected and that the Republican par
ty was again In power, restored conf
dence, brought money into active use, and
revived business throughout the country.
Since 1896 all mills, furnaces, factories
and shops, which had remained idle or
been operated on reduced time during
Cleveland's administration, have been
opened and operated at full time and to
their full capacity, with no lack Of funds
at lower rate Of interest than ever before.
And ample markets at good prices have
been found for the enormous output, at
home and abroad. The American manu-
facturer has not only more than held his
ground at home, but he has extended the
field of his operations and has acquired
foothold and markets abroad as never
before.

Large Audiences.

The Republican meetings thus far
held in this County have been well a
tended and the audiences manifest much
interest and give close attention to the
speakers. There is not the excitement
of former campaigns. The torch light

evidence, this year. People want to
hear sound argument and we believe
they will be at the polls election day in
large numbers.

A bird which receives scolding Is
made as miserable and unhappy there
by as n child would be. To illustrate
this Our Dumb Animals tells the fol-
lowing story:
A Massachusetts woman had few
years ago a beautiful cmary bird
which she dearly loved and to which
abe had never spoken an unkind word
ip her life.
One day the church organlst was
away. and she stopped after church to
play the organ for the Sunday school.
In consequence of this the dinner had
to be put off an hour. and when she got
home her good husband was very an
CRY. and he spoke To her unklndly.
The things were put on, and they sat
down In silence at the table and pres
emily the bird began to chlrp at her as
it always had to attract her attention.
To shame her husband for having spo-
ken so she turned To the bird and for
the first time In her life spoke to it In
most violent and angry tone. In less
than five minutes there was flutter-
ing In the cage. She sprang to the

Dutton-Smitb.

On Thursday last, August twenty third
a high noon wedding took place at
the residence Of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Savage, uncle and aunt of the bride,
Miss Lula Smith, who was united in
marriage with Milton D. Dutton. Rev.
j. Z. Kyle, pastor of the Dinsmore
Memorial church, of which the two are
members, performed the ceremony, in
the presence of few relatives. The
bride was daintily gowned in white
organdie with garnitures of ribbon and
lace. The groom wore dress suit of
black. They were the recipients of
many beautiful presents. The bride
and groom are graduates of Arson
Academy. '95, and Mr.. Dutton was
graduated from Bates College in go.
Both stand high in church circles and
the social life of the village and will be
greatly missed. Since leaving the scad-
envy they have been engaged in teaching
in which they have been eminently sue
cessful and rank high among the
teachers of the State. Mr. and Mrs.
Dutton left on the afternoon train for
brief wedding tour, after which they
will return to Searsport, where Mr..
Dutten is principal of the High school.
