The Man behind the Gun.

Soon after the close of the Spanish
war Admiral Schley visited Bangor.
Me. General Joseph Smith rendered
him a reception, to which many Of the
townspeople were invited. The people
gathered from far and near, and the
streets were filed with those who wish
ed to get glimpse at the admiral.
Mrs. Pearsons lives directly opposite
General Smiths house, and the piazza
and the steps of her house were crowd
ed when up the steps came Mrs. Ca
sey, q comely Irish woman, clutching
something tightly In her hand. Coming
up to Mrs. D., who was seated on the
piazza, she held out her hand, and in
the palm lay bronze medal, which
was given to her son for services rem

a few members of Congress.
At first it appeared more like large
reception, where, after shaking hands,
people stayed to chat with one an
other. Not far from Mr.. Lincoln, a
prominent Senator, whom we may call
Senator D., in strong, deep voice
remarked: 81 believe that, If we could
only do right as people, the Lord
would help US and we should have a
decided success in this terrible strug-
gle" Mr.. Lincoln, hearing the remark
of the Senator, with his clear, shrill
enunciation, cried out: my faith is
greater than yours"
Everybody turned and looked at the
President, who was head and shoulders

will make us do sufficiently right to

Attention is called to the length of
lime during which the people have en-
trusted the Republican party with pow
er in the nation The present ascend
ancy of the party in both houses Of
Congress began in 1894 and has con-
tinued uninterruptedly ever since. The
President has been Republican since
1896.
What other party ever retained the
confidence of the people uninterrupted
ly for so long a time? For a parallel
as to Congress it is necessary to cite
the Republican ascendancy in Senate
and House which began in 1861 and
was broken 1875, when the Democrats,
as a result of the election of 1874 gain
ed the upper hand in the popular body
of the national legislature. The Presi-
dent was Republican during the for
mer era as well as during the era
which is still current. Why Is it that
the Republican party has been kept SO
long at the helm? The phenomenon
has been due partly to the ability of
Republican craftsmanship, and partly
to the fatuityof the opposition. Is there
any indication that the Democracy has
learned wisdom? Is there any sign
that the people have lost confidence in
Republican leadership? If so the indi-
cation and the sign are not visible on
the surface of affairs.

Der ocrats is that Bryan will be sue
