While the judges were in the rear
considering their marks, Hoffman's
Baud came upon the field and started
| some lively music. MAJ. Leon Turner
formed the battalion in the FeaE OF the
grand stand and marched 1t on, taking
position in the field, where he put the
tbree companies through drill. This
req uired but little time, and at it's
completion the judges took station with
Mai. Brooks just besides Maj. Turner,
aud detailed Adj. M. T. Dean to notify
the winning company.
The crowd in the grand stand was
anxious for few moments, but when
Capt. Howard was notified they
shouted wildly, while even the cadets
in the winning company danced with
joy. The company was quickly brought
forward, where Maj. Oursnd, chairman
of the board Of judges, pinned bwo
badges On the captain. One was she
large "teachers' medal" which is con-
tested for each year, while the other is
a smaller gold medal, which becomes
the personal property of the winning
captain. On it is engraved "Hign

ROSTER OF THE COMPANIES.
On the breast of each Of the other
members of the company Captains
Hodges and Edwards pinned a blue
ribbon, denoting the prize company.
After receiving the congratulations Of
the judges and others, Capt. Howard
marched his men back to their Pc
sition, and Msj. Turner passed the
battalion in resisw before the judges
and other invited guests. Lieut., Ken

they could do 20 keep off the boys who
wanted to gather the empty cartridges.
After leaving the park the battalion,
headed by squad of mounted officers,
under Sergt. Matthews, and brass
band, marched to the school on II
street, near New Jersey avenue, where
the companies were dismissed.

The call for patents for mining
claims in the Buffalo Hump dis
trict is evidence of good faith on
the part Of the owners. 1t is nee
essary to do $500 worth OF work
and pay $500 an acre to secure a
patent to a mine. The work re-.
quired places the property beyond
the prospect stage; and the pay
meut of the fees and expense of
surveying in an isolated district is
an expense that nobody will un-
dertake at haphazard. The pat
ented mines of the Lewiston dis
trict may be entered as taxable
asset of the commonwealth.

Judge Steele has granted 100 di-
vorces in his district within two
years. There is evidently some
thing wrong with the law govern
ing this subject, or something
wrong with the morals of the peo-
pie. In one instance woman Sc
cured her fourth divorce within
FIVE years. three issued by Judge
Piper and one by Judge Steele.
This circumstance would indicate
that our divorce laws are not very
stringent. While it might not be
possible to prevent matrimonial
mistakes by law, it would be posi-
BILE to prevent such frequent recur-
renee of mistakes in Individual
cases. This divorce history should
afford argument in favor Of ma
tional divorce law. However, be.
fore this is made campaign issue,
the candidates should be certain Of
the sentiment of these 100 grass
widows on the subject, as they
probably hold the balance of powe,
at the polls.

National Republican Ticket.
FOR PRESIDENT
WILLIAM Mckinley, Of Ohio

The national democratic plat
form Is not unlike the round rob-
bin which is credited>with having
melted the Chinese boxers to vio-
lence. This platform resolves
against CONSUMPTION for the stand
ing army. The public address to
the ignorant classes Of China is
like this plank of the platform
inasmuch as it states that Ameri.
cans sacrifice human beings to false
gods. The plank in this platform
which incites resentment against
conscriptions or draft is an appeal
to the ignorant Boxers of America,
If it has any purpose in national
politics. While this plank is, per-
haps, the most glazing bit of bun
combe in the platform, it is as a
whole an appeal to the passions Of
the people. like the Boxers pam
phlet in China, rather than to the
reason of an intelligent constitu.
ency. Where there is no Juggling
of terms there are revolutionary
sentiments expressed and radical
measures advocated. In this re.
spect the platform is unique in
political history. The old fiatisnl
is still virulently radical and the
revolutionary policy in regard to
new territory is set forth in strong.

Remarks BY Mr.. Watterson.

The Louisville Courier Journal,
though it supports Bryan and
Stevenson because, as it says, they
are candidates of the democratic
party, has au article of extraordi-
nary tone and character on the
convention and platform. Read
these extracts and say whether
they are an argument for or against
the nominees and platform and
what they stand for:
The democratic leaders, sustained by
their own self-conscious rcctitude, and
riding a wave of unexampled and unliin-
tied enthusiasm, take the highest high
ground possible. They make no conces-
sions to anybody: They disdain consid-
erations of prudence. They are blind to
geographic conditions. They burn their
bridges behind them. They claim that
if they were right in their contention in
1896, they are right now; that the basic
principle of prosperity rests or free sill
yer at the ratio of IS to 1; that most, if
not all the evils Of which the lowly and
the poor complain emanate from the
crime of 1873, and the resultant gold
Standard and, on these accounts, they
ask for reversal of the vote by which
Mckinley was elected and Bryan was de-
feated four years ago.
This is one way of fighting. 1t lies not
| in the mouth of the Courier Journal,
which has always believed in straight
politics, to dispute it. If il wins, it will
vindicate itself and need no other appro-
val than its own. If it loses, the men
responsible will drop out of sight and
mind, never to hope again. They take
their political lives in their hands, and
like the paladins Of old, they 60 forth to
battle. AS theirs is the risk, be theirs
the glory; theirs the rewards; theirs the
fruits, the honors and the fame.
We shall not pretend that these things
fall in with our own view of such affairs.
We should have counseled another line
of battle, different plan of campaign.
But, long ago, the Courier-J Journal abdi-
Gated its leadership, accepting that of the
men now in the saddle; and we shall
abide the result in perfect good faith, fer
vently hoping that they are right, and
that we ourselves are wrong, praying
that the end will justify these energetic
demonstrations in the name of de1noc-
racy. 1t may happen that our own ex-
clamation may not prove SO clamorous
and so resonant as the more con6den,
and emotional among our compatriots
would have it. We may lack something
of the sublimity Of fervor and confidence
which inspires those who fancy that cleo
tons are carried by sheer force of ardol
and that votes may be left to cast and count
themselves. But we take it that ever
