UNITE ON HOME CANDIDATES.

The city of Lancaster, at least,
should deal fairly with our home
candidates. James Wenzel has an
nounced his candidacy for the place
of county treasurer, and George
Sykes for the place of sheriff.
Both can not be nominated. A
delegation should be selected that
will support Mr.. Wenzel for treasur-
er, and in case he does not receive
the nomination they should as
earnestly support Mr.. Sykes for
sheriff. In this way all friction can
he avoided. 81
The LaFollette forces in the city
have no candidates, but say, I'VE
must control the delegation in the
interest of Mr.. LaFollette. 2 A
citizen of our town has no chance Oh
consideration. What do they care
whether Mr.. Wenzel has to plod
along in order to live, when his
crippled condition makes his work
very arduous, so long as Gov. La
Toilette at Madison orders different.
We are but cattle driven around
by Herders Pollock, Storrs and
Johnson.
Are the Republicans of this city
going to let this be done9 1t not,
get busy and support the home
candidates. M ~

No farmer should have more land
than he can cultivate well. It is a
waste of time and energy to attempt
to cover too much, and as a general
thing results are less satisfactory.
Many of the small farms in England
yield as much as some of the big
ones in this country, because the
English farmer is compelled to econ
omize in land and has to make it
produce the maximum crops. One
wonders why this land, titled for
centuries, never wears out. 1t
would if farmed in the careless
manner that most of the land in
America is. Rotation of crops and
the raising of live stock keep the
soil so well balanced that there is
no decrease in the productiveness
from year to year. Our farmers
will come to that some day, but not
until land gets much scarcer and
dearer.

HAWTho RNE's WORKS.
Tho High Standard They Have 81
- For Americam Literature.

rho High Standard They Have Set
s. For American Literature.
4. Two things are to be remembered
when Hawthorne's name is mentioned.
First, the glory he rejects upon Amer,
lean literature Little has been done
by us in letters or art that is quite Of
the highest order except the works Of
Hawthorne. 4 These have the clear
promise Of perpetuity. The themes are
OF supreme and universal moment. He
rises to5their meaning and depicts them
in commensurate form. He is not q
preacher to cry aloud, but an artist
who paints, yet not without a heart
that throbs in pity and fancy that
muses. over the wonder Of it and will
not suffer the pail Of darkness to hang
over it forever. That we have in Haw-
thorne an author whose work in these
high fields Of thought Is crowned with
unimpeachable honor and is sure of
perpetual remembrance is q constant
satisfaction as years go by.
But Hawthorne has wider claim
upon our gratitude-namely, the fact
that he has set the seal Of glorious
achievement in letters upon the moral
laws Of our nature. The greatest
things done in literature have been Of
this sort. They alone, from Job down,
are remembered and cherished in the
ages. Hawthorne Is our only exponent
Of genius in this field, and how superb
ly has he filled it! His message is that
Of Dante and St. Paul and all great
Observation-Disclosures a man does to an
other he does to himself, whether it be
good or evil. Men will forever dwell
in this truth and will never forget
those gifted souls who see it clearly
and set it forth in perfect forms of lit
erary art.-Century.

FAMOUS BATTLE SONGS.

Two Instances Where the Tide Was
Turned by Singing Them.
There are two instances on record of
q battle being won by war song. In
the fifth century Germanus, bishop of
Auxerre, and Lupus, bishop Of Troyes,
were sent into Britain to refute the
doctrines Of Pelagius. During their
stay in this island the Picts and Scots,
hearing that the Roman legion had
been withdrawn, commenced hostili-
ties and drove the Britons from the
northern to the more southern parts OF
the island. Germanus, at the request
Of the hard pressed islanders, led them
against the Picts and Scots, who had
advanced as far as Mold, in Flintshire.
The bishop, having been a military
commander in his youth, placed his
men in an advantageous position and
then started one Of the songs Of the
church. This song began at the com
mencement Of the battle, and 30 vocif.
erously did the ;Britonsr sing the re-
frain, "Halleluiah," that the hills, ech!
DING with the sound, terrified their en-
emies and caused them to flee in all di.
cections. This was called the hallelu-
iah victory. The date is fixed by all
historians at A. D. 429.
The second instance occurred on the
9th Of November, 1892, when the
French, under Dun1ouriez, encountered
the Austrians at Jemmapes, in Belgi-
UNI. The day was going dead against
the French, when Dumouriez ran. out
to the front and raised the "Marseil.
laise." Forty thousand voices instantly
took up the chorus, and, inspired by
the magiclsof the Battle song, the
French rallied and fell so furiously
upon the Austrfans that the tide OF
battle was completely turned and vic
tory given for defeat. -Pearson's Week

At the TOP Of the Ladder,

A woman whose acquaintance with

had just left college and had secured a

! No man can accomplish much for
his constituents at Washington or
anywhere else unless he is industri-
GUS. Few men are born with d.
vine gift for craftsmanship. Talents,
which appear conspicuous in a more
restricted sphere have way of
dwindling at the national capital.
The triton among minnows is only
too apt to be regarded as a minnow
among real tritons. Failing to pos
sess commanding talents a man
elected to serve the people will best
show his adaptability to his position
by an early recognition of the fact
that the only qualities on which he
can place entire dependence are
industry and zeal. There's not a
more industrious man in congress
than Joseph w. Babcock of Wis

Fakirs as rule retain the same old
tendencies, are ever ready to spring a

The strange and interesting fact,
founded on scientific observation,
that war always brings as a corol-
larry great increase in the birth
rate of boys, is recalled in connec-
ton with the birth Of a son to- the
Czarina of Russia. In peace the
imperial family's hopes failed. In
war they were realized. It is a
matter of record that following the
Civil war in America the birth rate
for several years was heavily in
in favor of boys.

The recent train wreck in Colora-
do, in which one hundred pas
sengers went down to watery
grave without an instant's warning,
impresses upon the mind the fact
that 1904 is likely to be the year of
greatest horrors. The Iroquois
theatre fire was the worst calamity
of it's kind, and the disaster to the
Slocum steamer in New York
harbor surpassed all other horrors
of that nature. The world is wonder
ing what will happen next.
