A few years ago a prediction was
made that the enlisted men in our
navy, being over so per- cent. foreign
ers. would be a hard crowd to handle
in case this country ever engaged in
foreign war. OF course, there was no
ground for such fear and there was
never any signs of disloyalty in our
navy, but it is nevertheless a ground
for congratulation and pride that, to-
day, over 80 per cent. of the enlisted
men in our navy are native born. I'm
der the past few secretaries of war our
sea service has been made more at
tractive to young Americans and an eff
fort has been made to get them to en-
list with the gratifying result that now
less than one man in ten in the navy
was born on foreign soil.

The Old Garden.

In my mem'ry there's a picture
VI dear old country place,
And the years that fast are fieeting
Never will it quite efface-
silent, quaint old garden,
With its leafy naples tall,
Where the roses hung in clusters
Ger the UNCOVERED wall.
There the hollyhocks were blooming,
There the morning glory vine
Was rich with purple blossoms
In the summers bright sunshine;
There the honeysuckle trailing
Near the quiet rustic seat.
Where the birds were ever singing
In the days We used to meet
Nearby the murmering water.
Ripping long its shady way,
Seemed to me love song singing
That brought gladness to the day;
And in fancy I've the picture
It's a sweet but bitter dream
As l see her standing. waiting,
Where the willows kiss the stream.
Once 1 wandered in the garden.
Down the paths love used to lead:
But no flowers there were blooming
Where the roses, now the weed;
The brook still flows on gently.
BUT its murmuring was sad.
And no more the birds were singing
To make the morning glad
Deserted, dead and leafless.
Like that garden, SO my heart;
For its blossoms, dropping, withered
When our paths grew far apart.
She has gone, but my loves living
That and my mem'ry Is my all
Of the days in that old garden

lation of the United States could vote
jefferson was much in advance of other
aristocrats of his time with respect to
political equality, but nevertheless he
preached and practiced political
exclusion which would not be tolerated
at this day. n ICON
Still, our Democratic friends cannot
fabricate platform without throwing
in reference to Jefferson or Jackson
which would make 1t appear that the
country is retrograding with respect to
political practice and feeling. This we
might overlook in Difference to the
glamour which always hangs about
historical characters when seen at a
great distance. but surely the country
cannot fail to smile when it reads in
the most recent Democratic platform
that our safety depends on a return to
"Jeffersonian simplicity" in the way Of
living.

Ten years ago. when the country
was under Democratic rule. the total
savings hank deposits of the whole
United States was only STA. e61 $50. In
1903 the savings bank deposits Of New
York and New England alone, were
s2.214. i3.7SS. These seven states up
here in the northeast corner Of the
Union have half a billion more money
in the savings banks than all the
states in the Union had in 1894. This
is just one little item indicating how
the country has prospered under Re-
publican rule, for these deposits indi-
cate the savings of the masses and the
common people. those who work on the
farms, and in the shops and factories.
1t was these bank deposits, by the way,
which Judge Parker twice voted to
halve by putting them on silver basis

A Chicago paper unkindly suggests
that Admiral Dewey might turn over
that half million of prize money to New
York City for the erection of the
Dewey Arch, of which the country
heard so much after the battle of
Manila, and which was once erected in
temporary and perishable form. The
admiral. however. will probably figure
that he can get more fun out of the
money in some other way.
