When the headgear of the Black

be allowed the distinctive mark of red

not allowed. In one of the early bat

men dyed their heckles in blood. King

to retain the red.

When first called upon to fight outside
of Scotland, the regiment refused and
was taken to London by a ruse. The
matter was settled with some blood

more creditable to the regiment than
to the government, and the leaders OF

afterward held in high honor.
After the mutiny the Black Watch

their first pitched battle as regiment
at Fontenoy. where they opened the
famous attack, ordered by the Duke

the defeat of the Hay aunceforte treaty

and perhaps the temper of our people,
to enter upon the hazardous, as well as
responsible, duties of world power.
SO long as the United States was "A self
contained nation, geographically separat-
ed from the interests. and in large
degree from the territory, of the great
powers of the world, our foreign policy
was, both to others and to ourselves, a
matter of immaterial consequence. We
were practically invulnerable, for the rea-
son that we had no outlying possessions
which were open to attack, and our for
eign trade was of character which
could be sacrificed, at least measurably
and for year or two, with a minimum
of industrial suffering. We were thus
in position of exceptional independence,
and in our foreign policy could suit our
selves, with little or no regard to the
wishes or interests of foreign nations.
OF late years these conditions have
been entirely changed, but the effect
which tbs change has produced upon
our relations with the rest of the world
does not appear to have in the least
suggested itself to a majority of United
: States senators. We now have outlying
and vulnerable points of attack, which

The Legislature and the Governor.

A careful perusal of the state ex-
changes brings out two rather interest
ing facts. The fact is that the last
Legislature enacted very little legislation,
and the second is that the governor who
was unanimously nominated at the Re-
publican state convention has disap-
pointed all his friends in his appoint
ments. 1t must be more than coinci-
dent that hardly without exception every
candidate for an appointive Office who
was turned down was a supporter of
Josiah Grout.in the memorable Grout

The degree of success which awaits
the Twentieth Century Convention at

next, is simply question of interest on
the part of the membership of the three
state Christian organizations concerned

ties, Epworth Leagues and Baptist
Unions. The committee have selected
topics aud speakers for this great con-
vention carefully and with view to St.
curing the best possible results 10y way
of renewed enthusiasm and activity
among the young Christian workers
throughout the state. and it now remains
for these societies to furnish such an at
tendance on that occasion as will insure
to all these workers throughout the state
the uphft and inspiration and increased
usefulness which the originatorS of thi,
convention had in mind for them at the
outset. The prospectus has been issued
