HOW HE WROTE "AMERIcA'
Doctor Smith Indited II on the Spur Of
the Moment-Not Intended
for National Hymn.

In connection with the recent
presentation of the original manu-
script of "America' to the Harvard.
college library by the surviving chill
dren of Rev. DR.. Samuel Francis
Smith, author of the hymn, the fol-
lowing account by Doctor Smith of
how he came to write it is revived {:
"The hymn America was the
fruit of examining a number of mu-
sic books and songs for German pub
lie schools, placed in my hands by
Lowell Mason, Esq. Falling in with
the tune in one of them, now called
America and being pleased with its
simple and easy movement, l glanced
at the German words, and, seeing
that they were patriotic, instantly
felt the impulse to write a patriotic
hymn of my own to the same tune.
Selling a scrap of waste paper, / put
upon it, within half an hour, the
verses substantially as they stand to-
day. l did not propose to write a
national hymn. I did not know that
1 had done so. The whole matter
passed out of my mind.
GA few weeks afterward / sent to
Mr.. Mason some TRANSACTIONS and
other poems this must have CHANGED
to be among them. This occurred in
February, 1882. To my surprise, 1
found later that he had incorporated
it into a program for the celebration
of July 4, 1882, in Park street
church, Boston,"

U. S. GRANT AND MARK TWAIN
How Americas Greatest Humorist
Welcomed the General to Hartford
During Presidential Car paiun.

Eighteen hundr>d, and eighty
wss a presidential year. Mark Twain
was for General Gar*sald, and made
a number of remarkable speeches in
bis favor" writes A. B. Paine in st.
Nicholas. General Grant came to
Hartford during the campaign, and
Mark Twain was chosen to make the
address of welcome. Perhaps no such
address of welcome was ever made
before. He began:
"1 am among those deputed to
welcome you to the sincere and cor
dial Inequalities of Hartford, the
city of the historic and revered char
ter oak, of which most of the town
is built
"He seemed at a loss what to say
next, and, leaning over, pretended to
whisper to Grant. Then, as if he
had been prompted by the great SOL
dier, he Strengthened up and poured
out a fervent eulogy of Grants VIC
t%oriess adding in an aside as he fin
ished: 4 nearly forgot that part of
my Speech to the roaring delight of
his hearers, while Grant himself
grimly smiled.
"He then spoke of the general be-
ing now out of public employment, of
how grateful to him his country was
and how it stood ready to reward
him in every conceivable-inexpen-
sive way
"Grant had smiled more than once
during the speech, and when this
sentence came out, at the end his
composure broke up altogether, while
the throng shouted approval"

SCHOOL BOARD STILL CLOSED
TO CITY ALDERMEN


Secrecy of school board books, pa
pers and accounts as a regular policy
of the Jake Loeb majority of the
board was reaffirmed today. Atty
A. R. Shannon, under orders from
the board, came before the council
schools subcommittee and told the
aldermen, they will have to go to
court again and get more court de-
cisiops before the board will let
aldermen have a look at the books,
papers and accounts asked for.
A few weeks ago the state supreme
court handed down a decision that
the school board must not keep a
closed door against the city alder
men. If the aldermen want to know
how much money the city is specii-
caIy taking in or paying out on con-
tracts, school land leases and insUr-
ance, it is the legal right of the alder
men to ask for a look at such docu-
ments and the school board must
show them, according to the courts
ruling.

FEDERAL DEPARTMENT HUNTS

A policeman at Los Angeles
has confessed that he was the
lone bandit who held up a Wells
Fargo express wagon in broad
daylight in the heart of that city
last week, and the loot taken has
been recovered. What else can
be expected when policeman are
appointed on a civil service ex-
animation that makes no attempt
to investigate the character of
the man so appointed. A man
without any education, if he is
possessed of moral virtue and
integrity of character. would
make a better officer than the
educated man lacking in these
qualifications. but under civil
service rules he would never get
a chance at the job.

1t is now time the county at
torney called his grand jury to-
gether again, if he is still
desirous of knowing just how
much the county printing graft
cost the taxpayers the past
year. 1t is probable neither the
supervisors nor the county at
torney are as anxious to get the
information now that it is avail
able as they were last January
when no accurate figures could
be had, and were putting up a
strong bluff about conserving the
taxpayers money. 1t was one
of the rawest steals ever pulled
off in this county, and that is
going some when the records are

There may be some process
known to law whereby Tom
Campbell can be kept out of the
governors chair on January 1st,
but to the ordinary layman the
plain letter of the law says that
a certificate OF election shall
issue to the candidate receiving
the highest vote at the general
election, and that he shall assume
the duties of the office on the
first Monday in January. The
Secretary of State must issue a
certificate to Mr.. Campbell, and
he will take his seat and oficiate
as governor until the Hunt con-
test has been finally decided.
If the courts eventually decide in
favor of Mr.. Hunt the order of
the court will automatically re-
move Mr.. Campbell and restore
the Office to Mr.. Hunt. The fact
that Mr.. Hunt is holding the Of
flee at the present time gives him
no special privilege to hold
beyond his term. For instance
if the race for governor had been
between Mr.. Olney and Mr..
Campbell, and Mr.. Olney decid-
ed to contest, the filing of the
suit would not have extended
the term of Office of Mr.. Hunt.
and he would have to retire at
the close of his term and give
possession to the candidate hold
ing the certificate issued by the
secretary of state. In the case
of Thayer VS.. Boyd in Nebraska,
Gov. Thayer refused to relinquish
the office to Boyd. who held the
certificate of election because
contest had been filed, but the
courts ordered Thayer out of the
Office instanter and seated Boyd,
who on the face of the returns
was the prima facia governor
elect and entitled to the office
until such time as the contest
was settled.

Apparently the principal basis
of the Hunt contest rests on the
allegation that many ballots
marked with a cross as a straight
democratic ticket had mark
placed after the name of Tom
Campbell in the republican
column, and if inspection reveals
that this is true they will ask to
have them thrown out on the
ground that the intention of the
voter was not. clear. In Nebras-
ka the law specifically states
that when a voter wants to vote
a straight party ticket in the
main he places a cross at the
head of that party ticket, and
then places crosses after the
names of candidates on other
party tickets for whom he wish
es to vote. Evidently the courts
in that state do not belief there
is any doubt about the intention
of the voter in marking his ballot.

The trouble with the high cost
of living proposition is that every
producer thinks the present pre-
vaiIing prices are just and equit-
able, and he feels injured to
think any one would advocate
legislation to interfere with his
business. The farmer can fur
nish arguments to prove that the
present high price of grain,
butter and eggs is only fairly
remunerative to his calling and
every manufacturer takes the
same view of his production
whatever it may be. The labor
ing man who manufactures moth
ing, nor raises nothing is the
goat. The only thing he has to
sell is his labor, and no one ever
tried to corner that product and
force the price upward. He has
to take what he can get, or re-
main idle, and he has to buy
every thing he has to eat or
wear, and pay the price demand
ed. If he protests and asks for
an increase in pay commensurate
with the cost of increased living
he is declared an anarchist, or
at least a disturber of business.
In 1896 we heard a great deal
about maintaining the parity be-
tween gold and silver, and it
would be good thing if we had
a little more parity between the
cost of living and wages.
