THE TWELFTH OF
SEPTEMBER

To-day is the anniversary Of
the Battle Of North Point,
where Baltimore was saved by
the gsllantry and devotion of her own
citizens from a ruthless enemy who,
in his brief cruises along the estuaries
of the Chesapeake and his sack of Wash
ington, had created feeling of anxiety
to which the good people of Maryland
have rarely been prey. There were
other troops engaged with the Balti-
moreans against the British, the
famous William Pinkney. of the Rifles
still limpiny from q wound received
at Bladensburg, being at the head OF
his battalion, but Baltimore company
broke the center of the British line,
slew their commander and turned the
tide of battle. 1t was glorious day
for this city, and the country as we'll,
after the humlliating defeats which
had preceded it.
Those who are scarcely past middle
age can recall, says the Baltimore
american, the splendor with which the
day was celebrated fifty years ago.
The famous Old Defenders were still
in vigorous health, and it is fairly
certain that no veteran association
which ever existed had more esprit
de corps or more successfully maintain
ed its own dignity. 1t was the Gus
tom for the Old Defenders to parade
through the principal streets on the
18th of September, escorted 10y the
local military organizations in their
variegated uniforms, and after SOL
emn salute TO the Battle Monument
they marched to the place where
music and speeches, fired with partrio-
tic fevor, were the prcliminaries to a
fnc banquet served at the expense OF
the city. The youth of the city re
garded these hoary headed and hoary
bearded veterans with an awe which
was indescribable. They were at that
time the embodiment of war and its
triumphs, and their gravity and
dignity stcreotypcd the impression.
Scarcely less important than the
victorious battle was the birth OF that
immortal song. The Sta' Spanglcd
Banner" amid the ,hrots of the
bombardment of Fort McHenry on
the night before the battle occurred.
Keys simple story OF the composition
carries conviction. 1t was literally
inspired by the conditions which en-
compassed him. If all patriotic
songs and poems originated in the
same way, it is safe to say there
would he more good ones. "The
Star-Spanglcd Banner made its first
bow to the public in the columns OF
The American, and it received well
come which neither time nor familiari-
ty has been able to diminish. 1t re-
mains after lightweight years OF
ASSOCIATION tue one national song
which possesses exceptional poetic

How to get better municipal govern nent in this country is one of the press ing problems Comptroller Grout of New York thinks the English system of municipal government would work well here. This system consists in the elec- tion of board of aldermen, or a coun- gil, who have full power to govern the city, selecting the mayor. He says that charter under the English system would be only about one -hundredth part as long as the complicated New York charter, and perfectly clear Tt would state just what officers of the city could do and could not, instead of filling a big volume with all sorts of technicalities covering complicated system of government" The logic by which he justifies his preference for the English system is short. Popular suf- frage is either right or wrong, If it is right, then an elected council should have power to govern. A great re- sponsibllity would be thrown on them, and they would be equal to it, if popu- lar suffrage Is right, and the right kind of men would be elected for aldermen. He thinks that in time we shall come down to a decision of this square propo- sition. Give the representatives, elected by the people full power to govern or take away all power from them"
 Perhaps it will by and by be discov- cred that the real defect in municipal government in this country is in the people rather than the system. What e'er is best administered is best" said Pope concerning government.

Well, sir, he struck the boilerhead fair and square, and If anybody was ever knocked into the middle of last week he was. He fell in q heap and rolled over into the ditch, and for fifteen minutes he seemed as dead as stone Then he opened his eyes and got up and when the engine whistled at him he started off OH the run and kept it up for five miles. He broke one horn short off and twisted the other, and he had q headache for three months. It was the right kind of dose for him. When the cars begun to run he looked at them and lifted his tail but at the first clang of the gone his tail went down and the tears came to his eyes. He didn't want to tackle anything else on wheels. In deed, 1t broke his spirit till two-year- old steer could rustic him around, and if he don't grieve himself to death be- fore spring I guess I shall kill him for soldier beef."--Detroit Free Press.

MISS COPASS Is YINDfCA1ED.

Miss Frances Copass is a teacher in Martin Tennessee. She is also healthy and lively young woman. She was dis charged from her place as teacher be-
 cause the trustees thought she was too lively and went into society" too much.
 She happened to have contract for
 years employment, and she brought
 suit to compel the trustees either to re-
 instate her or pay the salary she would
 have earned if the provisions of the
 contract were carried out. When the
 trial came off the trustees brought tes-
 timony to show that Miss Copass either
 had company or went out fully three
 nights a week. which they declared
 was too much. They held that no
 teacher who has a beau on Sunday
 night, goes to a pedro party on Tues
 day night and dances or attends we'd ding or plays button button" on Fri day night can do good work as 8 teach CT, wherefore they considered them selves justified in disregarding the con tract. Miss Copass' reply to this was that she taught well on the days after her beau called, and she absolutely de- nied that either card parties or dances had in any way initiated against her usefulness in the schoolroom. Further more, she denied the right of trustees to dictate how often a young woman who knew how to behave herself might or might not receive company or plunge into society. If she as teacher did not perform her duties satisfactorily the | trustees might have the right to dis | charge her, but they had no right to in- quire into the reasons of her failure or to presume for one reason or another | before she failed that she would do so.
 Of course the court sustained Miss | Copass and declared that no board of | trustees and no set of school directors | had any right to dictate or specify how l often a teacher may keep company. | 'Three nights q week. the just judge | declared, lis not too often, whether the lady's beau calls on all three evenings or whether she divides her time in va rious ways

l1N0YKkR RIG ELR q.

Those who have observed how things go have expected that the Waterbury
 fire would soon be followed by another bis fire It came yesterday and Pat erson, New Jersey, is mourning the de- struction of many of its best buildings, including the city hall, the public li-
 brary, stores, banks, churches club houses, office buildings theater, a newspaper office, etc. As in Water bury, so in Paterson, the fire spared the great manufacturing plants, but it did damage estimated at $l0,00O,000, This may be cut down some by later re- ports, and it is to be hoped that it will be.
 Paterson will be cast down by this great misfortune but she will not be dismayed, Already relief movement for the care of those unsheltered and unprovided for has been started there, and the mayor has announced that Pat erson will not appeal to the charity of other communities. This shows good pluck, but if it is found that she needs help there will be plenty of it forthcom- ing.
 What next? With bad railroad acci- dents, the New York tunnel explosion and big fires, the new year hasn't open ed very cheerfully.
