caused popular distrust" was the
election of Mr.. Cleveland himself He
went into Office with the avowed pur-
pose of breaking down the protection
policy of the country. All business
men knew this meant dealing a dead
ly blow at large proportion of the
manufacturing industries of the coun-
try. Business men distrusted one an
other and bankers distrusted them all.
New enterprises were at once stop
ped, old ones curtailed, and everybody
ran for shelter. All this destroyed the
confidence of every one in every one
else; and, lastly, it destroyed the con-
fidence of the public in the United
States treasury itself. These are the
facts that led to the condition Mr..
Cleveland described, and made his
frequent bond issues necessary. In
short, the chief cause of the calamity
was the presence in the White House
of Mr. Cleveland as the champion
Of dangerous economic policy-Gun-

ofeiaIIx Dead Five Years.

William H Lewis of this village, a
veteran of the War of the Rebellion,
had a peculiar experience, and for up
ward of five years was to all intents
and purposes a dead man. His grave
and the marker which indicates where
he was buried can still be seen in the
national cemetery at Sharpsburg, Md.
Mr.. Lewis enlisted at Albany, May
27, 1861, in Capt. Charles Riley's Com
pany F of the famous Thirty-fourth
regiment, commanded by James A.
Suffer. Lewis went through the Pen
insula campaign without a scratch
until the bloody battle of Antietam,
when he was shot five times, twice
In the legs and once in the face. He
was left on the field for dead and for
two days and nights lay out in the
open, suffering untold agonies; and
should Lewis live to be 100 years old
he will never forget the hours spent
on that battlefield. He was among
the dead reported Sept. II, 1862, and
his body was supposed to have been
removed from the battlefield and
placed in grave No. S44 in the Ma
tional Cemetery at Sharpsburg, Nd,

ton.

Roosevelt and Fairbanks.

The national conventions choice Of
Roosevelt and Fairbanks is but the
formal record of the choice already
made by the rank and file of the Re-
publican party.
Theodore Roosevelt-the faithful
heir of William Neutrality-suspicious. for
national self-respect, peace and pros
perity- He is of himself the type of
achieving American manhood. His
nomination has been all but sure ever
since the Republicans of Illinois de-
clared him their choice for 1904. He is
nominated not only for what he has
done as president, but also for what
he is as an American man.
Charles Warren Fairbanks was de-
cisively indicated for the vice presfden-
tia1 nomination by his character and
record and by the logic of the po-
litical situation. He has well deserv-
ed the honor. both as a vital Republi-
can force in a pivotal state and be-
cause of the confidence that he in
spires in men of business affairs
throughout the nation. He strength
ems the president where the president
needs strength.
With such candidates the Republic
can party has nothing to explain or
excuse in behalf of its chosen leaders.
The personalities of both are well
known throughout the nation. They
do not have to be interpreted by
others or be taken upon the assur-
ances of any one. They speak for
themselves, and in no uncertain tone.
With such leaders standing for
policies Republican and national in
every respect, the Republican party
deserves success. 1t has earned it

Always Hostile to Protection.

We have had since 1872 seven diff
ferent Democratic tariff policies. The
party has been always at heart an
tagonistic to protection, but never has
had, save in 1892, the courage to de-
nounce openly the protective policy of
the Republican party clearly and cat
egorically.
We may look this year for dec1ara-
ton of some kind hostile to the fiscal
policy which has made America pros
porous. 1t may be couched in terms
of concern for the American work
man. But the latter is not to be de-
ceived by empty professions from the
enemies of the nations sound tariff
policy and of his own prosperity. I'm
der Republican protective policy the
average income of the American
workman's family is s827.19, of which
$326.90 is expended for food, the av-
erage size of the family being 5.31
persons. The average annual income
or the British workman under a free
trade tariff is $3.50. of which less than
25 per cent goes for food.
Let the d. o. p. resolve and "view
with alarm" as it may at st. Louis in
1904, the American masses will vote
for a continuance of the policy which
has made this country the most pro-
.gressives and prosperous on EARTH

POOR LUCK WITH ALLIGAToRs.

When I got down into Mississippi
I began to look for alligators, think
ing to find them basklng in the sun
on the banks of every creek and
bayou, but three weeks passed and
had not yet got sight of one. Then /
accepted an invitation to stay with
Major Burbanks for two or three days.
He had a big bayou on the west of his
plantation, but would not guarantee
an alligator. On the second evening,
I walked down to the water to look in
vain, but at the same time 1 was
somewhat interested in a negro who
sat on the log fishing. He told me
he had never seen a gator in the
bayou, and that he was expecting to
catch a catfish at any moment, and /
had turned away when there was
yell and a splash. I whirled about,
but all / could see was the muddy
water churned into foam and the
waves flashing the bank. At that mo-
ment the major Joined me and said:
major, there was a negro fishing

First Confederate Slain.

There was unveiled at Fairfax
Court House, Virginia, on June 1,
monument to Capt John Quincy MARI
the first Confederate soldier to fall
in actual combat in the civil war. The
date of Capt. Mars death was JUNE
1, 1861, and the spot where he fell
was only few yards from the Court
House green, upon which the monu
ment has been erected.
1t was as captain of the Warren
ton Riflemen that he entered the Con
federate army. This company of 10(
men was ordered to Fairfax Court
House-a post of honor and danger
to strengthen its somewhat meageI
defense, on May 81, 1861. About three
O'Clock next morning the rifiemer
were aroused by the news of the ap
proach of the enemy's cavalry. They
formed at once and their captain led
them to a commanding position neal
the Court House. Soon after he had
called them to halt body of cavalry
rushed upon them and firing was be
gun. 1t was pitch dark and no one
saw their leader fall, but his Halt"
was the last word he was ever heard
to utter. In the meantime the rife
men were reinforced by Colonel r. s.
Ewell, who was commandant of the
post. Led by him the rifiemen thrice
repulsed the enemy and finally drove
them off, leaving two prisoners behind

the long grass with bullet through
