Marylander who volunteered for the duty,
and though the ride of Paul Revere haa
been made immortal by LongfeIlow the
ride OF Tench Tilghman was one that not
only exceeded 1t In length, but was rnAds
under most unfavorable circumstances
AS soon as CORVALLIS surrendered Geo
eral Ttlghman was started for Philadel-
phia. He was put on the north bank "
the York river and he fastened to An
nRpolis. There he learned that letteE
was en- route by another way and he de-
termtned to beat 1t, If he could. He enc
barked In little sloop and wRs tnkeq
across the Chesapeake where he procured
horse and set out. His ride was a lcn@,
weary one, he was not well, and yet 10
stuck to his task and reached Phiiadel-
phta where he delivered the best Jews
that had yet been heard. Congress, u
addition TO heaping honors upon Tilghmaa
for his noble ride, voted to the lsAdsEA

that there should be erected at Yors-

in holding Manhattan Island. The plans
carried exceedingly well for 1t was evil
dent that Clinton heard OF the contem-
plated move against him and ordered
CORVALLIS to make preparations to move
to him. CORVALLIS. therefore Withdrew
from the South, camped first at Ports
mouth and later moved to Yorktown
where he lay, prepared to sail for New
York.
At the same time as the news of Corn
wallis movements were reported General
Washington learned that Count de Grasse.
with a feet of some thirty ships, was
sailing from the West Indies, leaving San
Domingo on August 3, and was bound for
the Chesapeake Bag.
instantly the entire campaign was
changed to meet the new conditions and
while the demonstration" against Gin
ton was not allowed to lax the attack
was not made. Instead instructions were
hurriedIy sent to Lafayette to get in com
municaIon with de Grasse and with
what troops the latter could spare, to
make every effort to envelop CORVALLIS
by land and sea.
In the meantime the allied armies in
front OF New York withdrew as quietly
as possible leaving behind only sufficient
number to keep up the pretense OF invest
Tnent and the troops were hurried toward
CORVALLIS. The English in New York
we're further misled by letters which were
allowed to fall into their hands and
when the Continental army was seen on
the move 1t was thought that 1t all
meant preparations for an attack, and
not until the combined army had passed
New Brunswick was the real destination
given out even TO the American troops.
The Americans and Frenchmen marched
by different routes but they met some
where in the neighborhood Of Princeton
or Princetown, and then marched through
Philadelphia together. The march through
the Quaker City was one OF triumph In
no city was patriotism stronger and as
the troops swung along they were greet
ed with cheers on very side.
There was wide difference in the ap-
pearance Of the two armies. The Con
tinentals were anything but martial In
their appearance. The officers were clad
In too well worn uniforms while the

PUTTING IT MILDLY.

Some of us," remarks our Repub- lican contemporary, The New Bedford Standard. think that 1t is in doubt full taste and propriety for the Presi- dent of the United States to distribute denunciations of American citizens as freely as the present incumbent of that office has been in the habit of distrib- uting them. It is freely conceded by his champions that MT. Roosevelt has a pronounced habit of saying uncom- plimentary things in a very emphatic way about people who have incurred his disapprobation or displeasure. They call 1t his courage and his con- suming passion for righteousness. That is possibly in a measure true; but the frequent evidences of his haste to speak lend color to the suspicion that impulse has much responsibility for his outbursts of personal criticism. His explanation that he sometimes fails to think carefully, In view of all that has happened, scarcely does him injustice. We think he falls, too, to consider that expressions which come from the president of the United States have a different influence on many minds from what they would if utter ed by private citizens"
 The Standard puts 1t mildly, as might be expected of newspaper be- longing to the Presidents party. but all through the editorial of which we copy only portion, there runs a thread of decided disapprobation of the Presidents thoughtless and undignified habit of saying ill-considered and un- just things about others. To try to de- fend this by boasting of his honesty and feaFlessness is very poor logic. Other presidents have been as thor oughly honest, and morally and phy- sically as brave as he without forget ting self-respect or the dignity of the office he holds. He either forgets that those whom he denounces and in suits dc not care to reply in kind, be- cause Of their respect for his position, or else he is so carried away by his own opinion of himself that he thinks these is creditable to him, for the first indicates that he is lacking in percep- tion and the latter would show him in the light of bully. His manner, In short, is calculated to lose for him the respect of the class of citizens whose good opinion should be most highly valued by man in his position.

Prince won BueIOw.

Prince von Buelow, the Chancellor of the German Empire, and the right-hand man of Emperor William, was born in Holstein May 8, 1849. His education was received at the Universities of Lausanne, Leipsc and Berlin. He en- tered the Prussian regiment of Royal Hussars for the campaign of 1870. and served in this regiment as lieutenant until 1872 The following year he en- tered the diplomatic service and during the next few years he was attached to the legations in Rome, St. Petersburg, Vienna, Athens and Paris. He was Ambassador at Rome in 1897. when Emperor William decided that there must be some new blood in the For eign Office. and forthwith Prince von Buelow was made Prusslan Minister of State and Secretary of State for For eign Affairs of the Germany Empire. Prince won Buelow has the reputation of being an immensely cautious, of prodigious common sense and world wide knowledge of men and affairs. He speaks and writes German, English French and Italian.

THE TWO yrrAn IssUEs.

The Philadelphia Record is a well- known advocate of tariff revision and reduction but 1t doesn't look on that as the only grave issue confronting the country and the Democratic party. 1t declares: If the Democratic party fails to do its duty in sustaining the constitutional distribution of the powers of the government a party will come into being for the purpose of so doing. There remains the tariff which has got to be reduced to something like a revenue basis. The Repnbli- cans won't do 1t. The Democrats can go into power on the issue of tariff reform and local government and the restriction of the executive to his constitutional functions"
 That is sound doctrine and is worthy of serious coDsideration by the Demo crats of both the North and the South. We all know full well that the present tariff is unjust and un- fair; that it enriches some and tends to the impoverishment of many others: that it is the foundation upon which rest most of the devourinG trusts. We also know that 1t Is high time that some decided changes and modif- cations should be made in the inter ests of the great body of the people. We may also say that there Is little hope of having the work done by the Republicans. In short, the only hope We can see for any change in the tar fir Is through a change in the political rule of the country.
 But The Record we'll argues that tariff reform is not the only vital is- sue for Democrats to tackle. A man must be blind not to see that the rights of the States are in real dan ger and that the danger must become greater as long as the Republican par ty remains in control Of the govern ment. There was time when that party was not party of centraliza- ton and one-man rule but it Is fast becoming such. Both the words and acts of Roosevelt, supplemented and strengthened by Root and other prom inent Republicans. leave little doubt that unless a check is put upon the lust of rule so manifest in the present administration there will be little left of the State governments except memory. If the rights of the States are to be preserved and protected 1t must come through Democracy andin no other way. Certainly two such grand objects should unite all Dem- ocrats in one grand effort for good.

When the young man is say ing soft things to his girl we suppose his voice will have a suodued. violet hue. When a man smashes finger or loses a collar button his voice will be of lurid color. When the good wife is saying. things to her hubby about for getting to mail her letter or order the steak, we can imagine the sound to be yellow, splashec with red, and so on.

VOICE CoLoI. .

We have heretofore made some re- marks about the crank who declares that he can photograph the human breath. Then we have heard 1t in timated that human thoughts can be photographed, but it remained for a London woman to claim that she can detect color in sound. She says the voice of Madam Melba Is high blue, splashed occasionally with purple" She also teels us that "a raucus voice gives to a blind man a dirty green feeling," and more of like nature. Speaking of her claims The Brooklyn Eagle says:
 We do not exactly know what puts a person "ln a proper state of Vibra- tion" for admission to this land of tommyrot mysteries, but we suspect that long course of musical criticism is the preliminary step. Truly the music critics have great deal to answer for. In their effort to increase the variety of their style they have an neXed a good deal of the lingo of their brethren-the art critics. As in this be- nighted country many men write pie ture shows by day and operas and concerts at night the asnalgamation of the VoCabularies was natural enough. But the result is highly exasperating 10 any Wrlter Who mas not daDDled In art lingoes as a part of his training. Such a man Ngoes to an opera or con cert. and naturally formulates his inn pressions in words, that being his habit. The next day he picks up a musical criticism to read that Calves voice has lost it's former wonderful tone colOr," or that Sembrich i'm parted a most luscious and tender tone color to her singing of Schubert's Iieder." At first he is puzzled, and then he is angry. He knows that color appeals to the eye and tone to the ear, and he is dsgusted that Intelligent men should mix up the two indiscrlm- inetely.
 We are somewhat interested in this
