A politic! On recently gave this ad vice to a neighbor's son wbo was nom inated lor office : “Lean a little toward everything, and commit yourself to nothing. Be perfectly round like a bottle, and just dark enough so that nobody can see what’s in ye.” gjiLUm'. There wiy hereafter be respect for the United Stales flag in every port in the world, for it will be recognised that a wsbip flying that flag is a for midable fighting machine and that the men on the ship can shoot straight and do not care fox sise or number of the other side when ehooting time comes The length of Mr. Gladstone’s polit ical service can be measured by the fact that he entered parliament at a time when Andrew Jackson was Presi dent of the United States and retired from it when Mr. Cleveland had begun bis second term. He held hie first cabinet office when Daniel Webster was also serving in a like capacity here. The auxiliary cruiser Yosemite, manned by the Michigan naval bri gade, is said to have more millionaires on hoard doing the rough and dirty work of the ship, such as cleaning decks, loading coal and cleaning spit toons than can ba found in any swell yacht dub. This is a great country and it doesn’t belong to any one class. —Houston Post. It is well to know that the followers of the bright banner which we revere are as magnanimous in victory as they are fierce and indomitable in conflict. It is good to feel that the flag of this free land will not be sullied by acts of infamy and wickedness on the part of those who fight beneath its folds. All honor to our “boys in blue” and to the gallant gentlemen who lead them I Washington Post. A good deal of credit for the navy’s good work is doe to Theodore Roose velt. While he was assistant secretary, and long before there was actual dan-, ger of war, he insisted that a large stock of ammunition should be sent to Dewey. At the time Dewey’s ammu nition was almost exhausted. The value of that precaution is now well known; At another time Mr. Roose velt had the North Atlantic squadron . assembled at Hampton Roads, and asked for a sham battle The com manders told him that they had about “ exhausted their practice ammunition, and that their supply was not suffi cient for the drill be wished. He im-. mediately ordered that they go ahead anyway, and draw upon their regular stocks for all they needed to carry out i z the directions.
