For Whom Shall | Vote?

We have two candidates for congress in our
district-by name, Peters and Bowersock. Pc
tiers is Bryan man and Bowersock is for
Hanna. Both men have been in congress.
Bowersock sent me garden S. eds, and Peters
sent never a seed Now, the question with me
is, shall vote for Bowersock and get few,
pennies worth of garden seeds, or vote for
Peters and get no seedst This is big ques-
ton.
Congress has, from time immemorial, voted
much money out of the United States treasury
to buy seeds from the seedsmen. The seeds
thus bought were distributed through the Unit
ed States mail. Uncle Sam bought the seeds;
Uncle Sam carried the seeds, and the people
footed the bill. Congressman furnished the
names. To have my name on the free seed list
is a great honor, to say nothing about the value
of the gifts.
Some time ago, crank in congress tried to
have the seed distribution abolished, but the
crank tailed. The big seed companies rallied
the live congressman to the rescue, and the re-
suit was that the last seed appropriation was
larger than ever before. The big seed compa-
nies will soon be able to form trust. When

AmuSementS.

Some old.wcrd travellers have claimed that
Americans have few amusements and fewer ho-
idays There is mistake somewhere. Amer
leans have a great variety of amusements-
everybody to their taste. People who don't
like manual labor engage in ball-playing. Some
take pleasure in theatres. Judging from the
daily newspapers, there's lot of people who
just can't exist without the pugilistic knock
down. Some years ago, the cowboys shot up
the nearest town. Shooting up town afforded
exquisite joy, especially if man or two weie
shot. Down in New Orleans saughtering
Italians caps the climax. Other Southern cities
prefer burning Negroes. Some years ago,
slaughtering Chinese was the tavorite pastime
in San Francisco. In Pennsylvania, deputy
sheriffs present high tragedy. Out in Idado, it
is Uncle Sam. Lots of people enjoy the every
day saloon amusements. The healthy boy,
with high flow of spirit, drinks because he is
merry, and the old drunkard drinks because he
is miserable.
may be mistaken as to the slaughtering of
innocents being amusing, but can see no pos
sible reason for it except amusement. The Ro-
mans were amused Al tue DattleS UetWcSu HAL
and man or man and beast They were amused
when men and women were torn, limb from
limb, by wild beasts kept for that purpose.
Why not have arenas, Nubian lions and
gladators instead of mob butcheries? Why
not cast obnoxious men into lions dens? Is
there more excuse for burning Negro than
white man, unless it be amusing? If slaugh-
tering unofending people is wrong in China
men, why Is il not wrong in Anericanse If
Cinnamon dissimulate, why is it more wrong
for them than for Americans or Englishmen?
If the religion of Cinnamon forbds lntemper
ance is it not superior to England's and Amer
ica's use of Intoxicating drinks and Supplying
drugs?
1t may safely be assumed that the Christians
of ancient Rome who were fed to lions were
not amused; neither the brethren who were
robbed. The people of Italy are not amused
when few Italians are sent to bloody graves.
The colored people are not amused when Ne
groes are burned, even though they be criminals.
The Huns and Poles of Pennsylvania were not
amused when the eputy-sherifs murdered their
wretched fellow countrymen. Even Uncle
Sam failed to amuse the great body OF miners
when he built the Couer de Alene "bull pen"
Christian nations have utterly failed to amuse
Cinnamon, either at home or abroad.
Our amusements are worldwide. Rum fol-
lows the flag. Burning black people will fol-
low in du. time. The initial of the bayonet
aud sword exercise is paving the way.
We are amused. Let the travellers be silent.

Brother Taber Writes Again.

EDITORS Ac1TAToR: The Republican party
is the party of Debt, Death and Damnation.
Republicans have sung their own praises,
yelled their own triumps and worshipped
themselves until the the world is disgusted
with them, and now the tyrants of Europe are
threatening to take Bill Mckinley down and
spank him for lying to them as he has lied
to Americans. They hadn't oughter 60 for
to do it, for Bill was built that way, and is not
to blame because scoundrels, knowing they
could use him, put him where they could make
him useful. VIM. J. TABER.

WHEN the Twenty-third Kansas volunteers

NEW BATTLEsHIP PLANS.
Three TO BE Constructed After Iowa's
Style. but as Large as Any in
the English Navy.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-The naval
board Of construction has finally ap-
proved the plans for the three battle
ships authorized by the last congress
and gave instructions to have specifi-
cations prepared at once prelimln-
airy TO calling for bids from
the shipbuilders. The ships will
be enlarged Iowas in type with
the. same rectangular superstructure
and the two ,urrets. bow and stern,
on the main deck.
The turret guns will be IL inch cali
bre like the Iowa's guns; there will be
a turret at each corner OF the super
structure carrying two eight inch
guns and II six inch rapid firers will
be disposed along the sides Of the CEN
trail citadel The ships will make 10
knots speed and have a displacement
OF about 1850 tons, making these new
ships by far the largest in the United
States navy and as big as the latest
type OF British armored cruisers.
As the constructors are limited in the
draft by our shallow harbors to a little
over % feet, and as 70 feet represents
about the greatest beam consistent
with speed, IL will be necessary to pro-
vide for the weights by giving the ships
more length than the Iowa class, and
they will be almost 40 feet long. The
secondary batteries will be made up
largely Of Il Founders. Altogether the
ships will be more than equal to any
warships Of their size in the worlds
navies.

AN HEROIC WOMAN.
The Record Of Harriet Patience Dame
as an Army Nurse.

| CONCORD. n. H. April 25.-Harriet
Patience Dame, the famous war nurse,
VINO Is dead at her home in this city,
began her charitable work at the out
break Of the Civil war. She opened
her home as a hospital as soon as the
volunteers began to come to Concord.
When the Second New Hampshire reg
iment went to Portsmouth to be mus
tered into service she persisted in ac-
companying the regiment to that city
and when they left TO do service in the
South she followed.
There were only seven other women
in the country who did active service
in the field as nurses and Of those Miss
Dame was the only one to remain un-
til the war was over. In the Peninsu
lar campaign she shared fortunes with
the soldiers, spending her first night in
Yorktown in feed box in stable.
At the retreat TO the James her cour-
age and endurance rose to the height
OF sublime heroism. The announcement
TO the sick men in her care that those
who could not walk must be left be-
hind fell upon many as their death
knell. Miss Dame was urged to join
in the retreat and get to a place of
safety. but she refused unless her
boys" as she called them, were taken
with her. Finally arrangements were
made to cvonvey the sick ones to the
nearest railroad station and when the
army started Miss Dame was at the
head Of the column. With feet in
cased in rubber boots, a thin netting
Of tattered mosquito cloth and with
a coffee boiler and a small amount OF
coffee, the brave little army in a march
of four days reached a station where
the troops we're loaded on the cars.
In the second Bull Run campaign in
Centreville, Miss Dame was at Stone
Churc and was taken a prisoner, her
captor threatening 20 shoot her If she
did not surrender without protest. She
was taken under guard to the tent Of
Stonewall Jackson, who after learning
Miss Danes mission within the lines
ordered a guard to escort her to the
northern lines.
She saoon afterward organized the
New Hampshire Relief association and
was sen. by Governor Gilmore to South
Carolina to investigate the condition
Of the northern soldiers. Miss Dorothy
Dix vigorously protested against the
sending Of a woman on such a mission,
but Miss Dame was obdurate, and
started on her journey. The result Of
her investigations, which were reported
by her to Surgeon General Barnes, was
that the conveys Argo and Fulton were
ordered to do duty as hospital boats
and were the first ones used in such
service.
