making detour through the Quaker
road, which joined the main road within
two miles of Princeton. AS the road
was in bad condition, the Americans did
not reach the bridge at Stony Brook,
about three miles from Princeton, until
sunrise. Here they took a short cut
while Gen. Mercer took possession of

The Revolutionary battle of Princeton
was fought on Jan. 3, 1777. After cap

Dec. &c. 177G, Washington found him
self confronted by the British army, I'M
der Gen. CORVALLIS. CORVALLIS con
centrated his forces at Princeton Jan. ,
and marched with nearly his entire army
against Trenton. At nightfall the British
encamped on the west bank of the Assam
pink, IL small fordable stream, which was
crossed by a bridge held by the Ameri,
cans. CORVALLIS postponed his attack
until the next day. Finding himself op-
posed by an army superior in discipline
and in numbers and cut off from retreat
by the Delaware, which was filed with
ice. Washington determined to make a
night march around the British army and
attack Princeton, which was held by
three regiments of infantry and FIVE
troops of dragons. A large quantity of
supplies and munitions were stored there,
and after destroying them Washington
intended to march to Brunswick, where
the British magazines were defended by
only a few soldiers. The rear guard
of the British army was at Maidenhead,
about half way between Trenton and
Princeton. Washington determined TO

SENATORIAL TRADITION.
lew Senators Now Take an Active
Part in First Session.

Recent events have smashed SEN
'torial tradition. For years the new
senator who did more than present
petitions, introduce bills, answer to
he roll call. or announce his pair
Turing his first session was too for
ward and pointed out as the man who
lid not conform to the state regula-
lions. But that tradition is a thing
If the past. Perhaps 1t may again be
revived and new senators made aware
that, like little children, they should
be seen and not heard. but for the
present the unwritten law Of century
has been put far back on the shelf.
The tradition was really fractured
in the last congress. This year the
tradition has been broken into frag-
ments. Senators Newlands, Fulton,
Clarke of Arkansas Stone, Hopkins,
Latimer, McCreary, and Overman have
all made speeches and some Of them
have engaged in debate with older
senators. These men, having opinions,
have expressed them; having argu-
ments to make, they have presented
them to the senate. And not one
seems the worse for it. Business in
the senate proceeds as usual, and the
new men get as respectful a hearing
and as close attention as some of the
older Senator's mighty sight more
than some senators.

At the heart of our country the tyrant
was leaping,
To dye there the point of his dagger
in gore,
When Washington sprang from the
watch he was keeping,
And drove back that tyrant in shame
from our shore;
The cloud that hung DER us then parted
and rolled
Its wreaths far away, deeply tinctured
with flame;
And high on its fold
Was a legend that told
The brightness that circed our Wash
ington's name.
Long years have rolled on, and the sun
still has frightened
Our mountains and fields with its rud-
diest glow;
And the bolt that he welded so proudly
his lghtened.
With flash as intense, in the face of
the foe:
On the land and the sea the wide banner

ing of pride tinged with solennity.
He knows that henceforth the consti-
tuition and laws invest him with all
the rights of citizenship. No matter
how we'll equipped he may have been
to exercise these rights before, he can
not do so until he is twenty one years
old. He has waited impatiently for
the time when he could vote, and
long before It arrives he has begun to
consider carefully how he should cast
his first ballot. He remembers how
his father voted and decides whether
he will follow in his fathers footsteps
or not. He recalls what he knows OF
history, weighs the platforms aud
issues carefully, and tries to reach a
conscientious conclusion as to how he
should vote. This is right. He puts
his best thoughts and conscience in.
to his first vote, as he ought to.
No subsequent vote ever receive:
quite the same careful thought. The
first vote decides young mans party
affiliations, and after that he is apt t.

started. Hence the Importance O.

THE DISSATISFIED DEMOCRACY,

1t seems absolutely impossible to
satisfy our Democratic friends no mat
ter what may be the condition of bus
mess, the condition of the treasury,
OIL any of the various other conditions
connected with our government and
its people. 1t is only few years since
they were terribly alarmed over the
surplus in the United States Treasury.
Mr.. Cleveland particularly in his IA
nous free trade message of 1897 called
attention to the great surplus which
was being augmented annually, an d
IN response to that message the Re-
publican party enacted the Mckinley
law and our excess receipts were con-
siderably cut down in the following
two or three years, Again after the
close of the Spanish war when the ac-
count had been settled and our re-
ceipts were beginning to exceed our
expenditures by nearly one hundred
millions of dollars annually the Re-
publican party twice reduced the tax
alton resulting in decrease of reYe-
nue. of considerably more than one
hundred millions of dollars and yet a
surplus has continued from year to
year, and Uncle Sans balance has al
ways been on the right side.
But now we are confronted with
what seems to be slight deficit. al
though it is by no means certain that
by the end of the fiscal year we shall
not come out with a balance to our
credit in the United States Treasury
But at the same time the slight def
cit of July and August form a very
fruitful theme for the Democratic ed.
itors who evidently desire to drop the
great issues of the campaign and harr
upon the Insignificant result of our
receipts and expenditures. To begin
with the declaration that we had s
deficit of over forty millions of dollar,
during the last fiscal year is absolute
ly misleading, if not positively false
The expenditure of fifty millions o
dollars in payment toward the Pana
ma canal alone accounted for that ap
parent deficit and was simply an in
vestment much the same as a man il
prosperous times would withdraw ;
few hundred dollars from his banl
account in order to put an addition
on his house.
