The populist county central com

The democratic party in its com

the four years of the Cleveland ad
ministration, the increase does not.
so far, amount to as much as the
reduction of that debt in the four
years of the Harrison administra

Memorial DAy was set apart for
the purpose of showing- reverence
to the nation's departed defenders
to whom we owe a debt of gratitude
we can never repay. Instead of
being- turned into a day of sports
and g-ames, as is too frequently the
case, it should be observed in the
manner in which it was intended
the strewing- of flowers upon the
mounds which cover the dust of
those now camping- upon the eternal
camp-ground, the enlogizing- of
deeds of valor and the installing- of
true patriotism into the minds and
hearts of the younger generation.
The local G. A. R. Post and the
Woman's Relief Corps have pre
pared a suitable programme for the
observance of Memorial Day in this
city; and we trust that our citizens
generally will take part in the exer
cises and abstain from those th njs
which tend to desecrate the day and
purpose for which it was set apart.
There are plenty other days upon
which bicycle and other races can
be held.
THE PEOPLE "WANT HcEINLEY.
A high protective tariff is op
posed by the international pawn
brokers, because it results in a con
stant stream of gold flowing into
this country, In times of golden
influx of the yellow metal, there
are no opportunities of speculation
in gold, no bond issues to hawk
about Europe at an enormous profit
to one or two firms. The people
understand the situation and they
demand the re-enactment of a high
protective tariff and the election of
McKinley. Three hundred thous
and idle railway employes want
McKinley and work to keep their
families from starvation. When
the mills are running, the farmers
have a market for their produce,
which the railway must handle and
they buy things of home manufac
ture, which the railways must also
transport. "With McKinley and
high tariff the mills will start, set
ting skilled labor, now idle, at
work; the railways will drop receiv
ers and re-employ the idle train
men and switchmen; they will be
busy providing- food for the people
who have lived under Cleveland, on
fish and other of the cheapest foods;
the mines will again be put into
operation to provide a coin med
ium of exchang-e, and the vast area
or tne mininjr industry win, as a
natural result, become a hive o
busy labor and again be a marke
for food produce and clothes
Herein are the reasons why the
people want McKinley. They have
hibernated, economized and been
idle while the government borrowed
all the moneT in sight so that bu
little could be had to afford them em
pioyment. Americans are an in
dustrious people. They have to
work and provide their families
with necessities and give their child
ren an education. Under Cleveland
bond issues and partial free trade.
they could not afford to send their
children to school, and the youths
of the nation have been held in the
bondage of semi-ignorance in con
sequence. bo, McKinley means
everything- to the masses, that
everything- of which they have
been deprived these several years
and for which all that is noble, in
spiring and ambitious, our people
ever strive New York Dispatch.

CHAPTER VL
Edgar was succeeded by his son Ed
ward, called "tho Martyr," who as
cended the throne at tho age cf 15 years.
His stepmother, Elfrida, opposed him
and favored her own son, Ethelred. Ed
ward was assassinated in 973, at tho
instigation of Ins stepmother, and that's
what's the martyr with him.
During his reign there was a good
deal of ill feeling, and Edward would
ho doubt have been deposed but for the
influence cf tho church under Dunstan.
Ethelred was but 10 years old when
he began reigning. Sadly poor Dunstan
crowned him, his own eyes still wet
with sorrow over the cruel death of Ed
ward. He foretold that Ethelred would
have a stormy reign, with sleet and
variable winds, changing to snow. ;
During the remainder of tho great
prelate's lifo he, as it were, stood be
tween the usurper and the people and
protected them from the threatening
storm. !
But in 99J , shortly after the death ci
Dunstan, a great army of Norwegians
camo over to England for purposes of
pillage. To say that it was an allopath
ic pillage would not be an extravagant
statement. They wero extremely rude
people, like all tho nations Europe at
that time, Rome being the Boston of
the old world, and Copenhagen the Port
Dodge cf that pericd.
The Norwegians ate eveiy thing that
did not belong to tho mineral kingdom
and left the green fields of merry Eng
land looking like a baseball ground. So
wicked and warlike were they that the
sad and defeated country was obliged
to give the conquering Norske 10,000
pounds cf silver.
Dunstmi died at the age cf G8 and
years afterward was canonized, bai
firearms had not been invented at the
time cf his death. He led the civiliza
tion and progress of England jaid was a
pioneer iu cherishing the lino arts.
Olaf, who led the Norwegians against
England, afterward became long of Nor
way, ana with tne jJana used to ever
and anon sack Great Britain i. e., eat
everybody out of house and home and
then ask for a sack of silver as tho prico
of peace.
Ethelred was a cowardly Icing, who;

holidays and iaau to ccnet and tat
in time of war. He gave these invaders
10,000 pounds of silver at the first, 1G,
000 at the second and 24,000 on the
third trip in order to buy peace.
Olaf afterward, however, embraced
Christianity and gave up fighting as a
J business, leaving the ring entirely to
Sweyn, his former partner from Den
mark, who continued to do business as
before.
The historian says that tho invasion
cf England by the Norwegians and
Danes was fully equal to tho assassi
nation, arson and rapine of the Lidians
of North America. A king who would
permit such cruel cuttings up as these
wicked animals were guilty of on the
fair face of old England should live in
history only as an invertebrate, a royal
failure, a decayed mollusk, and the
dropsical head of a tottering dynasty.
In order to strengthen his feeble
forces, Ethelred allied himself, in 1001,
to Bichard H, duke of Normandy, and
married Emma, but tho Danes contin-
ued to make night hideous and elope
with ladies whom they had never met
before. It was a sad time in tho history
i of England, aud poor Enmia wept many
a hot and bitter tear as she yielded one
jewel after another to the nawnbroker in
order to buy off the coarse and hatefnl
Danes.
If Ethelred were to know how he is
regarded by the historian who pens
these lines, he would kick the footboard
out of his casket and bite himself se
verely in four places.
To add to his foul history, happening
to have a few inoffensive D:uies on
hand, on the 13th of November, the fes
tival of St. Brice, 1002, he gave it out
that he would massacre these people,
among them the sister of the Danish
king, a noble woman who had Iecome
a Christian (only it is to be hoped a
better one) and married an English earL
Ho had them all butchered.

was, in fact, king of England, while
the roval intellectual nolm known as
Ethelred the Unwholesome, fled to Nor
mandy, in the 1013th year anno Dom
ini.
I But in les than six weeks the Danish
king died, leaving the scepter, with the
price mark still upon it, to Canute, his
son, and Ethelred was mvfed back,
. with an understanding that he should
not abase his privileges as king, and
that, although it was a life job during
good behavior, the privilege of behead
ing him from time to time was and is
vested in the people, and even tcdav
thero is not a crowned head cn tho con
tinent of Europe that does not recognize
this great truth viz, that God alone,
speaking tlirougk the united voices of
the common people, declares the rulings
of the supremo court of the universe.
On the old autograph albums of tho
world is still 'written in the dark cor
ners oi empires tne Jang can do no
wrong. ' ' But where education is not re
pressed, and where that Christianity
which is built on love and charity is
taught, there can be but one King who
does no wrong.
Ethelred was succeeded by Edmund,
called "the Ironside." Ho fought
bravely and drove the Danes, under
Canute, back to their own shores. But
they got restless in Denmark, where
thero was very little going on, mid re
turned to England in large numbers.
Ethelred died in Lendon 101G A. D.
beiore uanute reached linn, no was
called by Dunstan "Ethelred the Un
ready" and had a lacuity lor erring
, more promptly than- any previous king.
Having returned cheerily from Ethel-
red's rather tardy funeral, tho people
took oath, some of them, under Edmund
and some under Canute.
Edmund, after five pitched battles,
offered to stay bloodshed by personally
fighting Canute at any place where they
could avoid police interference, but
Canute declined, on what grounds it is
not stated, though possibly on the Polo
grounds.
A compromise was agreed to in 101 G
by which Edmund re:gned over the re
gion south of the Thames, but very
shortly afterward ho was murdered at
the instigation of Edric, a traitor, who
was the Judas Iscariot of Ins time.
-Canute, or "Knur," now became tho
first Danish king of England. Having
appointed three subkings and taken
charge himself of Wesrex, Canute sent
the two sons of Edmund to Olaf, re
questing hun to put them to death, but
Olaf, the king cf Sweden, had scruples,
and instead of doing so sent the boys to
Hungary, where they wero educated.
Edward afterward married
of the Emperor Henry H.
a daughter
Canute as Icing was, after ho got tho
hang of it. a great success, giving to
the harassed people more comfort than
they had experienced since the death of
Alfred, who was thoroughly gifted as a
sovereign.
He had to raise heavy taxes in order
to 'squire himself with the Danish lead
ers at first, but finally began to harmo-

ity f oiiowed. Ho was loud t.i" old ballads
and encouraged the wandering min
strels, who entertained the king with
topical songs till a late hour. Sympo
siums and after dinner speaking wero
thus inaugurated, and another era cf
good feeling began about half past 1 1
o'clcck each evening.
Queen Emma, the widow of Etholied,
now began to set her cap for Canute,
and thus it happened that her sous
again became the heirs to the throne at
her marriage, A. D. 1017.
Canute now became a good king. He
built churches aud monasteries and
even went cn a pilgrimage to Rome,
which hi those days was ahnost certain
to win public indorsement.
Disgusted with the flattering of his
courtiers, one day as he strolled along
the shore ho caused his chair to be
placed at the margin of the approaching
tide, and as the water crept up into his
lan he showed them how weak must be
a mortal kincr in the presence of Om-
nipotence. He was a humble and right-
eons king aud proved by iiis example
that after all tho greatest of earthly
rulers is only tho most obedient servant.
Ho was even then the sovereign of
England. 11 orwav and Denmark. In
1031 he had somo trouble with .Mal
colm, king- of Scotland, bat subdued
him promptly and died in 1035, leaving
Hardicanute, tho son of Emma, and
Sweyn and H:trold, his sons by a former
wife.
Harold succeeded to the English
throne, Sweyn to that of Norway and
Hardicanute to the throne of Denmark.

If i: via the Apocrypha.
It is impossible to exaggerate the im
mense indebtedness of English poetry
and Italian poetry to tho Apocrypha.
The beautiful lines of Young in his
"Night Thoughts"
Eat their hearts -wounded, liko the yrounded
rir,
Soon close; where passed tho shaft no trace 13
found
aro evidently to bo traced to tho verso
in the "Book of Wisdom, " "As when an
arrow is shot at a mark, it parteth the
air, that immediately cometh together
again, so that a man cannot know
whero it went through." The famous
"Hymn of Praise" in Milton's "Para-,
dise" is clearly modeled after tho ' 'Bene
dicite," or tho "Song of the Three
Children," in tho Apocrypha, as in the
lines:
His praise, yo winds, that from four quarters
blow,
Breatho sof t or loud, and wavo yo tops, yo
pines,
With every plant, in sign of worship, wavo.
It is also to tho Apocrypha as to tho
book cf Proverbs we owe many maxims
which havo become household words in
our language and in the languages of all
civilized nations. In tho first book of
Esdras, for example, chapter iv, 41, wo
find, as the revisers correctly render ir,
"Great is truth, and strong above all
things." Here'fho Latin Vulgate has it,
"Magna est jvcritas, ct pnGvalet"
which last word has been in tho process
of timo converted into "prcovalebir, "
and become proverbial in the civilized
world. Gentleman's Magazine.
Still Using Flintlocks.
Some regions aro rather slow to adapt
themselves to mcdern gamo killing im
plements. A Eorest and Stream corre
spondent got a letter from New Bruns
wick tho other day which said that
flintlock guns wero still in use up in
that country. Tho letter was from a
storekeeper, who said that the store
had carried a supply of gun flints ever
since it had been started by his grand
father, away back in 188G. Probably ho
would lose trado if he did not have
them in stock. It 13 not improbable that
Indians in the north woods of Canada
still use flintlock guns, but to use them
so near New York as is New Brunswick
is curious.
A flintlock gun beside a mcdern
hammerless gun makes a contrast apt
to bo remembered. It has been proposed
more than onco that sportsmen, instead
of using such deadly weapons as mod
ern guns, take up the old bow and ar
row or some other primitive weapon.
Tho sportsman that had killed a modem
deer with that ancient weapon could
say that he was as geed a hunter as
anybody. Thero aro few or none that

Unfortunato Change.
The substitution of one word for an
other or the omission of ono word is
frequently enough to spoil the effect of
an orator's eloquence.
Years ago there was a military cele
bration, in the course of which various
popular military organizations and regi
ments were made the subjects for ora
tions, eulogies and toasts. One enthusi
astic admirer of the "Salem Light in
fantry" had carefully prepared a toast
which he was sure would swell the
hearts of these comiected with the com
pany in question with pride and joy.
He proposed to begin as follows: "To
the Salem Light infantry I Let the ene
mies of our country look on such troops
and tremble!"
Unfortunately, when tho time for the
delivery cf his toast came, his wits de
serted him.
"The Salem Light infantry!" h
faltered. "The Salem Light infantry!

The Code of Patches.
Tho old code explaining the signifi

face was as follows: The "impassioned"
patch was fixed at tho corner of tha eye,
the "gallant" in tho middle of the
cheek, the "receleuse," or receiver of
stolen goods, on a spot or pimple; the
"effrontee," or bold faced, on the nose,
and the 4 'ccquetts' ' on the lips. A round
patch was called "the assassin." The

effect prodnoed by his discourse was

To Scrape an Acquaintance.
"To scrape an acquaintance" was
originated by tho Emperor Hadrian.
Once when visiting the public bath he
found an old veteran scraping himself
with a piece of broken crockery m lieu
of an iron or copper scraper. Hadrian
gave him a sum of money to provide tha
necessary materials for a bath, and on
his next visit to the institution found it
full of veterans scraping themselves with
potsherds. "Scrape away, gentlemen,
but you shall not scrape an acquaintance
with me," was Hadrian's comments as
he went out.
