Tho true military man of those times was the oillcor who was enamored of tho military uniform and utterly despised all other sorts of attire, whoso soldiers were trained to perform almost inhuman tricks with their logs and riti?? (to broak tho wood of tho rlfio into pieces whilo "presenting arms" was ono of thoso famous tricks), and who could show on a parado a row of soldiers as porfootly aligned and ns mo tionless as a row of toy soldiors.

And gives a chance to every one Who fortune may desire ; Whoro rich men sit and chatter, Whilo poor mon light and die, And rich men say, No matter This is fun for you and I. While tho morning sun is beaming On many a funeral pall, And tho Eagle is a-scroaming, Lifo and liberty to all, And as wo sit in peace at home, Still grieving for tho slain, Through all the years that are to como We'll not forget tho Maine. Our town has been a holocaust It burned before our eyes But from tho ashes of tho past, Will, Phonix-liko, arise. We're building up in bettor form. Which proves we're moving on, For brick and mortar take the place Of wooden structures gone. May all who come among us Find a quiet, happy home, That Walhalla may be prosperous Through all tho years to como ; That God will bless our churches, And our schools be of thc, best, As in tho record of the past Walhalla stands the tost. May war bo known no longer, May happiness increase, And Christmas provo in every sense A timo of joy and peace.

NKW YORK, Deoombor 21. Clark Howell, a mombor of tho Dornooratio National, Committee from Georgia, and editor of tho At lanta Constitution, after consulting with tho loadors of both of tho po litioal parties at Washington, telo graphod as followu to his paper to night : "With tho adjournment of Con gress for tho holidayn tho final deois ion on tho poaco troaty is as clear as it will bo attor a voto has boon takon in tho Sonato. Two weeks ago tho matter was in doubt-to-day it is cortain that tho treaty will be ratified. "Mr. Bryan has been in Washing ton for sovoral days, and hos con ferred froquontly and freely with tho Democratic leadors in both tho Son ato and the Homo. Ho has advised ratification of tho treaty, and ho is outspoken in tho opinion that asido from tho question of national obliga? tiou, it is a mattor of party policy for tho Democrats to throw no obstado in tho way of ratification. Thoro aro loading Democrats in both tho Sonato and Rouse, who, less than a week ago, woro in doubt as to wholher or not Democrats should assist in ratifying tho troaty ; moro than that, some of thom wero outspokon in tho opinion that it was perhaps bettor to rojcot it. To-day many of those Domocratio leadors tako open position that tho troaty should bo ratified and that it will bo. No one who has studied the situa tion from tho insido can have a rea sonable doubt. It must not bo understood that tho ratification of tho troaty will oarry with it tho assumption that all thoso who vote affirmatively aro in favor of national expansion across tho Paoifio. Of tho Sonators who will voto in favor of tho troaty thoro will ho Republi cans as well as Democrats, who aro opposed in prinoiplo as well as in theory to traus-occanio oxpansion of our national domain. Tnoy take, howovor, and very properly, tim vic.v that tho question of oxpansion, por so, is not involved in tho consid eration of tho poaco treaty, and that after tho treaty has boon ratified and Spain has bcon clituinntod as a fac tor in tho Philippine problem it will bo timo enough to consider thc policy to bo pursued in dealing with tho Philippines, and jirnt boro will come thc real contest on tho ques tion of oxpansion." Mr. IIowoll then says that aftor tho treaty has boen finally disposed of a resolution will bo introduced making declaration of tho proposed policy of this Govornmont in dealing with the Philippines, and that this resolution will bo framed very much on tho basis of tho Cuban resolution adoptod coincident with thc declara tion of war, in which it was doolarcd that tho policy of this Govornmont would bo to ;<ivo tho peoplo of Cuba a free and independent government of their own. Mr. Howell says : "It is tho deter mination to prosont a resolution of this kind as a rallying point for tho expansion and anti-expansion ele ments, both Domocratio and Ropubr boan, that takes from the considera tion of tho poaco troaty snob doubt as might bavo existed an to tho out como, and which now makes its rati fication a forogono conclusion." Mr. Howe)! further says' that tho voto on this proposed resolution will not bo confined by any moans to party lines, and tho outcome is in doubt. A largo majority of thc Democrats will vote in favor of it and a largo majority of tho Republi cans will voto against it, but tho'BIKO of oithor minority is sufficiently in volved in doubt as to roildor exceed* bigly questionable tho final notion that will bo takon on tho resolution. Ho says tho Republicans as a body will favor tho ratification of tho poaco treaty and will oppose any further action. They will hold that it will bo time enough to cross tho Philippines bridgo when they got to it, and in thc moantimo tho islands should bo hold under strict military government, and that, if in God's own timo it is demonstrated that tho Filipinos aro ablo to tako caro of thomsolvos and desiro to maintain a government of their own, it will bo timo enough for tho Unitod States to take up tho question and act accord ingly. Mr. Howell's summary con cludes as follows : "As a result of tho final encounter over tho resolu tion it may bo that tho country may witnoss tho spootaolo of badly sov orcd party lines, and out of it may bo furnished tho battle cries around which will be formed tho lines of tho noxt Presidential fight."
