Monument for the Soldiers.

monument for the soldiers!
And what will ye build it of9
Can ye build it of marble, or brass. or bronze,
Outlasting the soldiers love?
Can ye glorify it with legends
AS grand as their blood hath writ.
From the inmost shrine of this land Of thine
To the utmost verge oft?
And the answer came: We would build it
Out Of our hopes made sure,
And out OF our purest prayers and tears,
And out of our faith secure;
We would build it out of the great white truths
Their blood hath sanctined,
And the sculptored forms of the men in arms.
And their faces ere they died.
And what heroic figures
Can the sculptor carve in stone?
Can the marble breast be made to bleed,
And the marble lips to moan?
Can the marble brow be fevered9
And the marble eyes be graved
To look their last, as the flag floats past.
On the country they have saved3
And the answer came: The figures
Shall all be fair and brave,
And, as betting, as pure, and white
As the stars above their grave!
The marble lips, and breast, and brow
Whereon the laurel lies,
Bequeath us right to guard the fight
or the old flag in the skiesi
A monument for the soldiersi
Built of the peoples love,
And blazoned and decked and panoplied
With the hearts she built it of
And see that ye build it stately,
In pillar and niche and gate,
And high in pose as the souls of those
1t would commemorate!

American miners in Alaeka have
protested against the provisional
boundary line as laid down by inter-
national surveyors under the modus
vivendi with Canada. These remon-
strances against an agreement made
nine months ago are too late. In any
case, miners who went since last
October into gold fields which have
now passed under British control,
have no just cause for complaint
Some Of the points which were to
determine the location Of the pro-
visional line were known, and it was
not difficult for prospector who
knew something Of the lay Of the
land to tell for himself about where
the line would run. It is the convic-
ton of the administration that the
true boundary line runs where Ameri-
cans have contended it ran ever since
Alaska was purchased. That position
will be adhered to in future negotia-
tions. Nevertheless, it was the be-
lief last year and is still, that it was,

ment puts an end to disputes between

local authorities which might have
led to bloodshed.

Washington, Aug. 3rd.-A combi-
nation of the declaration of the Kan
sas City platform and the personal
statements Of Mr.. Bryan. concerning
questions of national Importance,
produces horoscope for the country
that it's voters will be slow to endorse
at the polls in November.
Porto Rico would either be erected
into territory or turned adrift to
shift for itself, with a pronounced
leaning toward the policy of atan-
donment. The Republicans are
charged with enslaving and impover-
ishing the island Notwithstanding the
fact that this years volume of business
there, both in imports and exports,
is about 100 per cent larger than it
was last year.
Cuba would be abandoned at once.
All official, both civil and military ,
would be withdrawn, and the Cubans
would be told to work out their own
future. Furthermore, this country
would have to trust to the honor and
ability of government not yet cre-
ated for repayment of the money loan
ed and spent for the benefit of that
island.
The mutually jealous tribes of the
Philippine archipelago would be
given q stable native government
without the employment of force.
How this is to be done is a detail too
simple to be explained. The foreign
population would look TO the Filipi-
nos for protection. The United
States, without any rights on land,
would use the navy to protect the
natives from European aggression
and would take their part in Euro
pean auarrels. 1t is worth while to
notice also that when the Democracy
is talking about the Filipinos, it in
sists that they should be treated as
the Cubans are, and when speaking
of Cuba it arraigns the conduct of
the Administration in Cuba as being
burdensome, wrong and imperialistic.
1t is demanded that the United
States take some formal action
toward stopping the war in South
Africa. How this is to be done is
another unimportant details which the
country is asked to leave to tho wis
dom of the man whom Mr.. Bryan
may select tor Secretary of State.
An army Of $4,000 or 10000 men
we are told is entirely too large for a
little nation of 100000. Less than
one soldier for every 1000 Inhabitants

petuity of free institutions, and we
arc told that an era of militarism is
threatened. The Democratic candi-
date would protect the country from

We, the good people here, sincere
ly pray and ask our most Holy Mas
ter to hand down helping hand to
stimulate us in the coming contest.
We pray thee, our heavenly Father
to guide Ne through right, have M to
consider our condition, make US to
think that we have loving children to
look after, and oh Father if it is con-
sistent with thy will, give Mark
Hanna strength and ability to guide
us through this present campaign
that we may have more bread for
our children, and that Mark may be
blessed for his hard work in this and
last campaign. We pray thee. oh
Father, to extend to the people Of
Taney county and all the rest of the
United States, that grand privilege
which they have received under the
administration of that grand and
noble statesman VIM. Mckinley. We
further pray you, our Father, to let
us extend our thanks to thee for our
success in arms that has widened the
territory for our American people.
Most holy Father we denounce the
Kansas City platform for it conforms
to hard times-it tells rs we will
have cheap farm products aud we
prefer the other. Father we feel as
sured that if Mckinley is elected we
will have bread for our children. We
further ask you, oh Father, for the
sake of our neighbors children, to
elect that grand Statesman again that
we and they may prosper, and that
your humble servant makes this ap-
peal for 1 have six girls and three
boys aud, oh Father, send down the
proper blessings to guide my child

know heavenly Father, that il Bryan

of educational pursuits. We know
that expanslon is best; we know that
we have got more now than we had
four years ago; we pray thee, oh
Father, all we ask is to reelect the
Republican ticket from Mckinley
down to cohstable-then our prayer
will be answered. Take rs safely
through this momentary darkness,
bring US out standing under the flag
of our country, have US to know right
from wrong, and that the Cshstitu-

sion with Bryan Soldiers Clubs.
The country is told with words of
prophetic solemnity that unless Bry-
an is elected in November there will
be no more Fourth Of Julys, so it can
be seen that the matter is getting
serious.
Then there is to be a great deal of
wiping out all along the line. Trusts
and business combinations are to be
wiped out; the Dingley tariff is to be
wiped out; the gold standard is to be
wiped out; national banks are to be
wiped out; injunction by the courts is
to be wiped out; and the party of
Lincoln is to be wiped out.
No encouragement is to he given
to foreign trade. But the cheap pro-
ducts of Europe and Asia, made by
cheap labor, are tog come into our
markets under q tariff for revenue
only, not protection, and they will
destroy our home Industries and
make American labor as idle as it
was under the the Democratic admin
istration of President Cleveland.
These are some Of the serious
changes promised by the Tri-partite
candidate for the presidency.
The Republican party is the party
of Lincoln and Grant, whose work in
their respective spheres saved repub-
licanism not alone in America, but
for all the world. The Rebellion was
the crucial test of the ability of q
self-governing nation to stand the
strain of internecine strife. The cost
of saving the Union was fearful. The
land was hillocked with graves, the
blood of heroes fattened a hundred
battlefields. the nation was exhausted,
but the flag was not furled, and not
single star was lost from its azure
field. The result, how lever, was worth
all it cost.

empire, and yet it was a struggle
against Imperialism. The triumph of
the North made thrones across the
sea rock on their old foundations, and
some, indeed, have fallen, while those
which still remain have ouly been
able to endure by granting a larger
measure of fself-government to their
subjects. Manhood has become q
royal thing due to the efforts of the
Republican party to dignity and
verify the sovereignty of manhood.
Power has drifted down to the masses,
who became conscious of their power
through the work of such men as
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield, Harrison
and Mckinley, who in camp, in battle
and in the councils of the nation have
made our country the envy of the
world. The policy of the Republican
party has gone on in advance of the
flag, carrying some of the blessings of
liberty to peoples and countries who
have never seen the banner of glory
and freedom. To charge imperial
ism to the party which was conceived
by freemen, was rocked by liberty
and grew to vigorous manhood on
the strong meat of personal sov-
ereignty. is to distort history, deny
the truth and betray the fact that the
opponents of the party think false
hood is better than the truth for
campaign purposes.

The moon in this eclipse appears to be
about the size of the sun, and when the
the sun visible in India, and the French
government sent an eminent astronomer
to make observations there. His report
was that these red spots were enormous
masses of hydrogen gas on the surface
of the sun
The same discovery was made by Nor
man Lockyer, an eminent English astron-
omer, and his report of it reached the
French Academy at the same meeting
when the report Of the French astrono-
mer who had made the same discovery
in India wasr eceived. To commemorate
this discovery the academy caused to be
struck a medal containing profiles of
both Lockyer and the French astronomer.
Professor Newcombe suggests a simple
and effective means of marking the pro-
gress of the moon across the disc of the
sun. He says that if an ordinary spy
glass is reversed and the large end
pointed toward the sun a picture of the
eclipse will be thrown on a piece of pa
per or card board held a few inches be-
low the lower end of the instrument.

chromosphere. Outside it, and seen on
the earth only at times of total eclipses,
is a sort of irregular halo with strea-
mers goining off in different directions, all
of a brilliant white color, against the
blue of the sky. The cause of this cor
ona is not known, nor is there any basis
Of observation on which to found the

At Wadesboro this year it is hoped
that some decisive results may be obtain
ed. If all goes we'll we will know that
vapcrs from the different portions of the
chromosphere, which are close to the
sun, and, what is still more important
we may know their condition, whether
they are in violent motion or not, wheth-
er they are extremely dense or hot, and
so on. In regard to the corona, an at
tempt will be made to see how many
different agencies are taking part in it,
and to learn if it's existence depends SOLE
ly upon the sun itself. Much other infor-
mation concerning the nature of the
sun will be sought. With the help Of all
the facts learned this year in this coun-
try and abroad if the weather is favora-
BILE, a more satisfactory theory Of. the
suns phenomena should be possible.

he may have many years in store, in
which to bless and benefit mankind. He
was followed by1Mr. Caddell, OF the
Biblical Recorder" in an original and
forcible speech in advocacy Of an edu-
Gated ministry He argued that numbers
of membership could never supply the
necessity of an educated ministry in CIV
ing force and influence to the denomina-
ton. After the conclusion of his speech
he called the roll of the churches for
contributions and pledges to the educa-
tional fund, TO which there was a liberal
response from all the churches repre-
sented. But the speech of the Associa-
tiCn on Wednesday was that of Mr.. Ar
chic Johnson, representing the Baptist
Orphanage al Thomasville. 1t abounded
in argument eloquence, good strong
sense, opposite incident and illustration,
and everything that goes TO make up a
forcible speech. If we had not heard
Aycock lately we would say that Archie
Johnson was the finest orator in North
Carolina. And what is strange in his
case is that he is q newspaper editor
(Charity and Children) and the general
rule is that good editors are poor speak

latter is fully covered nothing remains
but a kind of halo or ring Of light around
the dark circle Of the moon. This ring OF
light is called the corona and astrono-
mers are divided in their opinion as 10
the cause of it. The settlement of this
question is one object Of the observations
taken wherever the total eclipse is visi-

Another interesting fact about the
eclipse is that as the dark circle of the
moon gradually covers the bright sur
face OF the sun its edge passes over
bright red spots which reappear later as
the moon passes off For long time as
tronomers have been puzzled to know
what these red spots are and many OBJ
servations have been taken to leara the
cause of this phenomenon. The aid of

ago when there was a total eclipse OF
