The National Anthem.

From the New York Sun.
1t is curious fact that so frequently
some good American arises with a fiat as
sertion that we have no national anthem,
or at any rate that we are not quite sure
whether it is Hail Columbia" MY Coun-
try, 'Tis of Thee" Yankee Doodle OF
1.-The Star Spangled Banner" The truth
is that among those who know there is no
doubt whatever. The source OF doubt il to
be found in the fact that the people Of
these United States have never sponta&
neously and of one accord chosen ans
them as the English did in 11i5 But there
has never been any question that the senttI
ment surrounding the flag has influenced
the great majority to prefer 'The Stat
Spangled Banner" as the national hymn.
1t has been made so officially by tho
usage of the federal government. 1t is not
at all strange that so few people know
this, for only a small percentage of the
population is familiar with the customs Of
army posts or naval vessels. The ceremony
of evening colors at all military posts hav-
ing bands includes the playing of the ma
tional anthem, THE Star Spangled Ban
ner." when the flag is lowered for the
night. On all naval vessels carrying bande
the same custom is observed, and Ii should
be noted having especial official mean
ing that in foreign ports THE Star
Spangled Banner is thus proclaimed By
our ships as our national hymn.
Hail Columbia is one of our patriotic
songs, but it has no official standing. No
naval or military officer ever rises in q
theater or takes off his hat out of doors
when it is played. He does so in the case
of THE Star Spangled Banner" My
Country, 'Tis of Thee has no claims on
all. 1t is nothing more or less than the
national anthem of England. with Ameri-
can words set to it. The tune was COM
posed by Henry Carey. and first sung by
him in 1879. 1t rapidly gained popularity
because of the incursion OF the Pretender
in 1745 when God Save the King began
to be sung in the theaters. The theme was
taken from an antique melody by DR.. John
Bull, whence, some think, came the ap-
pellation of John Bull to patriotic Eng
land. Germany has also adopted this tune,
using ii for her " He'll dir IL Siegerkranz."
Neither she nor we have any business with
it; 1t belongs to England.
Yankee Doodle" has never been called
our national anthem by any but certain
English people, who are particularly fond
of foisting II upon us as our hymn because
ii is a vulgar. undignified and worthless
tune, utterly unfit to express the patriotism
of a puissant people. The amiable coteriA
of British newspapers which does fits best
to foster the Anglo-American understand
ing by f1inging gibes at US on all. occasions
insists that Yankee Doodle is our ma
tional anthem. 1t is not SO now, and never
has been.

ELECTRICITY LEADS.
Gas is No Longer the General Illumi-
nant in This Contry.


From the Electrical World and Engineer
The public 10 accustomed to think of gas
as still the leading luminant, but while this
is probably true in Europe, in the United
States the scepter Of light has definitely
passed to electricity. The figures just is
sued by our census Office are. indeed, start
ling. Gas had nearly seventy-five years
start over it's competitor, but 1t now ap-
pears to be decidedly in second place. Yet
there is no denying the fact that the intro
duction of the brilliant electric light has
stimulated the use of gas. There are. now
close upon 1000 electric light central sta
lions in America, but by the census of 1900
there were then only SIT gas plants, and
the number was not growing perceptibly.
The gas plants were earning an income
of $75.OOO,OOO. Last year the central sta
tons earned $s5O00,0OO. The cost of con-
struction and equipment of both was over
$4,000, coo. Gas employed o. 400 men, and
electric light ZOO.
But this is only half the story. 1t IL
estimated that there are over $1,000 isola ted
electric light plants in this country, and that
they represent as many lamps as do the
central stations. New York city has 600
o. them, and some. like that in the Waldorf
Astoria, would run many an ambitious west
ern city. Hence the figures against gas are
double in most respects. The 10000 600 in
candescent lamps burning nightly become
40, coo, 600 The 100000 arc lamps-Shelley's
''insistent sisters of the day"-become SOO-
000. we're it not for the universal use Of
the gas stove and the prevalence of the gas
engine, one marvels what would have be-
come of the illuminant of our fathers.
Such is the pace at which we live today
that while millions of people in this country
have not yet got up to the stage of "civiliza-
tom represented by the use of gas, but
when they encounter it casually employ 1t
sulcidally other millions have outgrown
and discarded it, and will have none of 1t
even for curling iron or a chatting dish,
let alone for lighting. yTo put it briefly, the
use of electricity for lighting in New York
Sc alone has. increased over 2 900 per
cent in ten years, and the use of electricity
tor power, also from central stations has
increased in thevdecade nearly 1,2oJ per
cent. And yet eectririans are inclined to
think they have only just started in.

nsorial room, and by throwing the three

On the second floor a room Of ample d.
mansions will be the office of the president
general. and adjoining it similar room for
the recording and the corresponding secre-
taries general. On this floor room 21x16

the editor Of the magazine and another for
the assistant historian general. On this
floor are three entrances to the gallery OF
the auditorium and two from the south and
north of the staircases. Two exits will lead

The interior of the, building is to be tln-
ished in hardwood and handsomely deco
rated. The exterior of the Memorial Con-
tinental Hall is to be highly commemora-
tive. The great portico will be the pre-
dominating feature. 1t springs from two
points nearly seventy feet apart and reach
es out thirty feet to the center, where thir-
teen memorial columns support the mas
sive roof. These. columns will consist of
fluted monoliths in severe classical design,
and will be arranged in semi-circle, en-
blematic in their ornamental beauty and
strength of the thirteen original states.
They extend to the leyel of the third floor
From this portico a flight of marble steps
leads to grassy terrace and the memorial
room, entered through six low windows
reaching to the floor. These columns will
cost 50, 900 each, and each of the thirteen
original states will be asked to furnish the
funds to build one.
There VIII be a eportico, on, the north side
ten unOrnamented pillars.
Congress will be asked to make an ap-
preparation to this Memorial Continental
Hall. The president general of the national
society, Mrs. Cornelia Cole Fairbanks, says
that in place of erecting lot of little me-
MORALS to men who were actually forgot
ten until the Daughters of the American
Revolution awakened long sleeping mem
cries, Congress will be performing a far
more sacred duty by helping to make Con-
tiiental Memorial Hall a magnificent trib-
ute to all the heroes of the war Of the
American revolution.

THE NEW RAILWAY,
Construction of the Mineral Point
and Northern Being Carried
Rapidly Forward.

The work of constructing the line
of the Mineral Point and Northern
railway goes bravely on. y large
force of men and teams are at work at
the junction near Lawinger's. Tim
bers for bridging are being hauled to
the various streams over which the
new line will cross, and shipments of
rails, ties, fish-plates, ETC., are being
made, so that the work of track
laying can be carried rapidly forward
as soon as the road bed has been
prepared.
The Democrat believes that the new
road will prove of great benefit to
Mineral Point as we'll as all other
places on the line. 1t assures the per-
manence here of the zinc works by
entering the richest ore fields of the
Wisconsin lead and zinc region, and
connecting them by rail with our city,
1t will greatly aid in the development
of the mines by providing the means
for cheaply carrying the products to
market.
Good reports come from George O.
Clinton, who is now in Chicago. He
met with an injury last week while
experimenting the unloading of rail
way supplies at the junction south of
Mineral Point city. He will return
here shortly,
