The War and Its Exaclions.

Us is of paramount-importance says the
New Haven Register. It is the Ameri-
can flag, Old Glory, which has been
nailed to thestatf, a flag that has never
Ic’wered‘be’fore the enemy, not a bit of
arrag representing principles of govern-
to
which this republic offers a living pro-
test. The citizen who is not prepared
to rally round it, and defend. it is lack-

3-39 to make up an American.
Not everyone can go to the front,
wees... his life, if u is needed, to up-
holldlnis country’s honor. Every one
can do something, each in his or her
{Inn way, to strengthen the arm of the
government. The demands of active
service'- fall first upon the young men.
Its burdens are so heavy and its trials
SSTRI-ied that youth can alone offer
them the desired resistance. The
young men of Ithe country fought the
cifil rein-(amen, the youth of the North
and the youth of the South, and the
great majority ofxthe officers who won
cvm'lasting_ distinction: were mature
men only in experiSDCe: As the world
regards age they were boys. Grant
and Lee were the old men, though in
the prime oflife. So to day the young
men are the ones upon whose shoul-
u‘ors mst fall the brunt of battle.
Therezis no fence for men to sit on.
The man who is not for the American
Hagis fOrthe Spanish flag. There is
Hemline to listen to his arguments. He
may have persuaded himself that he is
under no‘obli'gation to show his colors,
Bathe can convince no one else. We
arenOt fighting for the acquisition of
groperty‘ nor (for the expansion of
government. We are declaring before
the would that civilized and Christian
government .must prevail upon this
continent and in its immediate neigh-h
hushood. We are declaring that we
hare suffered long enough from a cruel
wdbarbarous system‘ of government,
Which hasshocked our sound sense of
insane and .atfronted our sense of
~2,(Thu-infirmity.
It is an Anglo-Saxon manifesto that
mean. who weremade in the image of
God, have rights 7 which no form of
gwmentcan deprive them of. The
Spanish idea is that men are things,
twbehuddledtogether like cattle, to
bekilled as one kills rats, and to be
Buicdened as One-burdens a pack ani-
mal. The inquisitionis the source of
glint-y; the racktheinstrument of mor—
afe. and intellectual development.
Against this expression of faith in me-
ifaeval instrumentalities we set up the
right of man to be free and independ-
(suit, to develop the faculties God has
givenhimhahd to free himself from
Imagery. This is our errand and our
fission. It is the errand and mission
(fiche Anglo-Saxon race, which is the
guardian of liberty and of civilized
gutiernmeut, _
ht us therefore prepare ourselves to
cheer our “neighbors if they are called
“the front, and wish them God speed,
while the crest labor in and out of sea-
m to provide .them with the needs
thich will be theirs, and which we
- alone can gratify. It is the spirit that
is being manifested at Washington that
thould pervade the entire country, a
. pushing, aggressive and resolute spirit,
- that. can be turned aside from its ends
h' neither temporary defeat nor by a
victory which does..not drive Spain

The genteel poor, who make every

That the courtesles and amenities of

stance, quoted in the Kansas City

editor of Concordia, is minus his left

Hanover Democrat, is minus his right
leg. By a. singular coincidence these
two men wear exactly the same size

When urine stains linen it is evidence

Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the back, kidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-

necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
