Is EASY TO FORGET
HINTS TO EDITORS AS TO THEIR
OPPORTUNITIES.
President Of the New York State Re-
publican Editorial. Association Tells
His Brethren of the Press That
They Must Keep Vital Issues in the
Foreground.

Due appreciation of the Importance
of the issue to be decided in the cam
paign of 1904 was shown in the an
nual address of William A. Smyth, of
the Owego Times, as president of the
New York State Republican Editorial
association, at the meeting of April
13- Rightly President Smyth admon-
ishes his brother editors of the grave
and far-reaching consequences of the
questions to be decided this year;
rightly he warns them that Repub-
Hcan editors Of the state must be
prepared to do their share of the
fighting If we are to keep in power
the party of protection, honest money
and prosperous times" There is no
question of honest money involved in
this years struggle. The Democratic
party will not again overload itself to
the sinking point with any "16 to L"
foolishness. That issue is dead, for
ever dead. But the issue that is alive
to-day, as much alive as at any pre-
vious period in the country's history,
is protection and prosperous times
In his address President Smyth said:
This year, the fifty-four anniver-
sary of the founding of the Repub-
lican party, promises to be a memor-
able one. During the past year, an
of year in politics, there has been
but little work for this association to
do. We are now on the threshold of
a very important campaign, and prob
ably none that have preceded it have
been so important and far-reaching to

Third Battle of Bull Run.

Major General Corbin will fight the
third battle of Bull Run. The general
staff of the army is now engaged
upon improving the strategy of Gen
eral "Stonewall" Jackson in what is
regarded by military strategists as the
most mastery campaign of the civil
war.
From Portland, Me-, which never
came nearer to war than seeing in the
ofing Spanish fleets which never ex-
listed, the army maneuvers will be
transferred this year to Manassas, Va,
which still bears the marks of the
heavy blows dealt by blue and gray
eorty-two years ago.
For the first time an opportunity
will be afforded for effective COMPARE
sons between the old army which
fought and the new army which is
being trained to fight. Can the mod
ern armament and the methods of
transportation which have developed
forty years from the days when Pope
and Lee raced from their respective
bases to the battle-ground change the
result of their maneuvers? Twenty
two thousand modern soldiers will be
used to test the prowess of the an
cient armies of the rebellion and
prove what would have happened ha6

formed the Democratic issue was free

though not united on principle, but
simply for the spoils of office. 1t will
be no easy campaign; the battle will
be fast and furious, and the Repub-
lican editors of this state will have
to do their share of the fighting. The
voters, especially those in the country
districts, will have to be educated and
aroused to the necessity of keeping
the grand old party in power, the par

easily. Many of them have already
forgotten the condition in which the
Republican party found the country
seven years ago, when they returned
to power. Soup houses were popular
then, but they soon gave way to the
march of good times. The merchant.
the farmer, the manufacturer took on
new courage: the closed manufacto-

mckinley were quickly fulfilled, and
prosperity was again an actuality.D

those ills and the means whereby
escape was made POSSIBLE. Republican
