One after another our Democratic
exchanges that have been opposing
the nomination of Byran, are climb
ing onto the band wagon. They hate
to give up, but are obliged to. Ever
since it became evident that Bryan's
nomination was sure thing, these
papers have discovered that Mr..
Bryan is pr city good fellow, after
sll. In the meantime the RepuDli-
cans are more than satisfied with the
situation. "All things work together
for good to them that love the Lord. !"
Bryan will be nominated, but who can
name single State that he can carry
that went against him in the other
elections?

A sea captain once said to the
Gardiner Reporter that he had never
been to any port that he didn't find a
man from Maine. And men from
Maine can be found in about every
city in this country, particularly in
the west, where all of New England
is well represented. In Spokane,
Wash, there is New England asso-
citation of FIVE hundred members, and
Bunker Hill day, June II, will be cele-
brated by a reception at their club
house to various other associations.
Its good to know that the New Eng
landers do not forget their old homes,
and the old homes only regret that
they cannot get back to them oftener.

Silent Tribute

On Saturday next, with bowed
heads and reverent spirit, the people
of this wide land will scatter the
fairest flowers of springtime over the
graves of sleeping heroes. For
.-On James eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread.
And glory guards with solemn round
The bivouac OF the dead.
Gratitude weaves The fragrant gar
lands which the hand of patriotism
lays tenderly upon the sacred dust.
The flower of New England manhood
went down into the valley of the
shadow of death, and bequeathed
these green mounds to our loving
care. They reaffirmed the judgment
of Yorktown, and destroyed the last
hope of kings on this continent.
They redeemed the republic, and
washed from her robe the stain of
slavery. They secured this CONT
nent to republican government; and
during all time-even after We gro W
to be a nation of 100, 0O0,0 900 of peo-
pie, -their resting places shall still be
the Meccas of patriotic pilgrims, and
the pledges of our perpetuation un-
der one flag and one government,
the dominant and dominating de-
mocracy of the earth. This tender
memorial has its origin in the loving
heart of woman-woman, who from
that fadeless morning when the first
visit was made to the sepulchre, has
always been first in acts of gentleness
and love, always true to the noblest
aspirations of her nature, and always
the last to forsake, even though
clouds and thick darkness surround
the object of her affections. To her
love of country and devotion to the
memory of our dead, are we indebted
for the privilege of this sacred holy
day. The day is not filed with sad
ness, since it contains no elements of
despair, but is associated with the
hopeful and the beautiful. While We
perform these kindly services to the
dead, the most of whom were "all
unknown to fortune and to fame, y
we may in faith believe that they
constitute that Grand Army whose
happy spirits are now on the clear
heights where the deathless blossoms
of Gods eternal garden are theirs.

show their contempt and ridicule for
the orders of the school board that
the school shall not have a football

Large boys in short trousers,
shirtwaists and big bow ties, carried
tops and marb es, and the girls, with
their hair in high tails, worn with
big ribbons, nursed dolls and Teddy
bears and played with jacks. Imme-
dlately upon the assembling of the
school the boys commenced spinning
tops and rolling marbles on the floor.
Efforts to restore order were un-
ayailing, and the senior and Junior
classes, among which were the chief
offenders. were dismissed. The pu'
pills gathered outside the windows
OF the study hall and kept the school
IN an uproar by loud yells of def
