places of rank in the federal
army, like the scions of the aris-
tocracy in the anti-bellum south.
The integrity of the nation does
not depend upon an army, but
rather, in the hearts of the
American mothers is found the
elixer of the Republic. Harriet
Beecher Stowe wrote the epitaph
of slavery. The nations tenn
porary guardians are hob-nob-
bling with the monarchies that
exiled our fore-fathers. Our
navy will do obeisance to the
browning of King Edward, the
Emperor of the India. The re-
publics of France and Switzer-
land are not upon our list of
chums. The Depews cross the
seas to mate and conceive scion
in the shadow of crown. "The
flag" is used as a decoy to loot
the treasury, battle justice and
bemilder reason. The army of
the republic is in another hemi-
sphere, holding eight millions of
alien people Sin trust" for them
selves. And nearer home, Kan
sas Day" is devoted to the en-
gineering problem of construct
ing the shortest aucnue of the
public crib:
Under this new heresy "the
lutte is silent and the harp is
STILL" no song or story that will
live in the ages rises from its
sordid devotees in their stealty
tread towards the commercial
goal.
! Let US hope that the beaming
face of historic Kansas may not
be far turned from the ideals of
the Pilgrims ond of,the founders
of her destiny towards the per-
ishable idols of power and pelf
before it shall discover the dis
NAL portent of such idolatry-
for its ways are not ways of
pleasantness," its paths are not
paths of peace"

Has All the Spectacular Effects
of Real Conflict.
Fishers Island, N. Y, Sept. 5.--Fort
Wright was again attacked last night
and 1t would appear that Admirais
IIigginson and Coghlan have brought
their fleets together for the purpose
of silencing, if possible. the guns Of
the fort, which Is admitted to be the
most strongly fortified on Long Island
sound.
Admiral Higginson's maneuver was
an excellent one and brought out the
finest points of the game OF war. He
came down upon the forts in two sec.
tions. The cruisers were sent ahead
with the apparent purpose of having
the fire concentrated upon them. He
then crept up with his battleships
and opened fire with the purpose OF
crumbling the forts to pieces.
AT 1905 y. m. general alarm rang
out over Fort Wright and all the
troops were called to arms. At that
hour searchlight No. 5 picked up the
cruiser Brooklyn as she was speeding
to the westward toward the race. At
first it was supposed that the cruiser
was on her way to New York for re.
pairs. but she came so close to the isl.
and that a warning shot was fired, and
to the surprise of the officer she re.
plicu vigorously. This action leads to
the elief that the reported accident
tn the Brooklyn has been exaggerated
by the navy officials for the purpose OF
throwing the defenders of the fort of
their guard.
The firing had been on but a few
moments when the Olympia was
sighted, closely following the Brook.
lyn, and She too, opened up with
every available gun at the forts. After
these two vessels passed through the
race, three battleships were picked
up by the searchlights. They were
soon recognized as the Kearsarge
Massachusetts and Alabama, and they
were proceeding toward the race In
forts they opened fire. Every gun al
Fort Wright was blazing away, and
Forts Terry and Niche were also
making valiant attempt to put the
ships out of business. The dense
smoke. both from the guns of the bat
tleships and forts, now enveloped the
former. The ships soon took advan
tage of this and scudded away through
the race.
