Dana's View ot the Situation.
Some personal response seems to
be due to the numerous friends who
have Bought from me an expression
of my individual opinion as to the
duty in the present political cam
paign of those who adhere to tue
principles which hitherto have cuar-
acterized the. Democratic party.
The declaration of notions adopt
ed in the name of the Democracy by
the Chicago Convention is for the
most part so hostile to the doctrines
which have prevailed in tho past, as
to demand its rejection by all those
who would not abandon the De
mocracy's essential ideas and best
traditions.
The Chicago platform iovites us
Adtnliliuh n currency which will
enable a man to pay bis debts with
hnt as much property as he would
have to use in order to pay them
now. This proposition is dishonest.
I do not say that all the advocates of
tho free coinnge of silver are dispon
ent. Thousands of them, millions,
if there bo so many, are doubtless
hi.iipst in intention. But I am un-
nl.'o In rnnnnriln witll ftDV idcill of
integrity a change in the law which
norm it ft niiiu who has borrow-
eda hundred dollars, to pay his
debt with ft hundred dollars each
nno nf wliii'h is worth only halt as
much as each dollar he receive
from tho lender.
Tim Chicnsro platform sanctions
tho use of tho appointing power of
tho President in such a way as to
control the Federal judiciary in de
ciding quoht ions of constitutional
law. It contemplates a chanco in
tho personnel of tho Supremo Court
of the United States to tho end that
tho recent decision declaring tho in-
como tax unconstitutional may be
roversod. Strange times, indeed,
aro these, when a man is told that
in order to bo a Democrat he must
favor the imposition of an incomo
tax. and the destruction of the in
dependence of the judiciary 1
Still more alarming is tue cieariy
implied approval of lawless violence
contained in the denunciation ol
what is denominated in the platform
"government by injunction." Veiled
in the lauguago of moderation, the
wild light of anarchy shines through.

staud upon it.
I recrot exceedingly to lind a dis
position quite prevalent to array the
West against tho east in tho discus
sion of theso matters. I seo no oc
casion for making our differences
sectional. Hero there is no political
hostility toward tho West, such as
is expressed toward tho Last by
some Western newspapers and pub
lic speakers. Good citizens can per-
haps best aid tho cause ot Honest
money and law aud order by devot
ing more time to rational argument
and less to ineflicient abuso.
All questions relating to tho tanil
have become lnsignihcaut for tne
time being, in viow of the possibili
ty, however slight, that tho abhor
rent principles of the Chicago plat
form may prevail. Tho duty aud t lie
necessity to compass tho final over
throw of that platform by assisting
in the defeat of William 3. Bryan are
most imperative and solemn. This
may certainly be accomplished by
voting for the electors pledged to
support of William McKinloy ; but I
have no quarrel with any Democrat
who adopts any other course which
seems to him equally well adapted
or better adapted to tho same end.

l m sorry he did this. We don t like
to lose those first significant names.
During the i rench and Indian wars
the English under Johnson and the
i rench under liaron Dieskan witn
their Indian allies fought at hard
battle at Lake George in 1755. In
the morning a small detachment of
the English on their way to Ft. Ed
ward were ambushed by the French
and Indians. A sharp skirmish en
sued known in history as the
"Bloody Morning Scout." Then
the French marched on to attack
the English at Lako George, but
they were repulsed and Dieskan
taken prisoner. Here for the first
time, an army composed entirely of
American colonists and untrained
farmers faced the finely drilled
troops of the old world and learned
their own capabilities.
While the battle was raging, some
Indians and Canadians afiaiu of the
big guns but feeling that they must
have scalps to carry home, sneaked
back to the Bcene of tho morning's
engagement to plunder the dead.
Some Lugiisli soldier, on their way
to reinforce Johnson, shot them
down on the spot aud hurriedly
threw their bodies into a little pool
in tho woods. Ihe water was color
ed red. Because of this the pond
has retained the name "Bloody
Pond". It was completely covered
with pure waterlilies when I saw it

ALONG THE HUDSON
A Snyder County Lady Visits the Scene-
ty Along tins Historical Stream and
with Vivid Language Describes
The Sights.
The villaso of Glen's Falls, sit uat
ed on the upper Hudson near Lako
George, is tho home of one of the
most successful .National Summer
Schools in the country. Here were
assembled about live huntad teach
ers, representing every iPolron of
the United States, studying uuder
the leading educators of our coun
try. It was my privilege to attend
this school a privilege which I
thoroughly enjoyed.
After a week of sicrht-seeitK in
busy rushing New York City, it was
a delightful change to flout upon
tho bosom of tho Mnjestia Hudson
on one of tho "Day Lino'' palaces.
The day was clear and, having time
enough to think, my imagination
pictured these beautiful mountains
and vales as they were long airo
when tho Mohican Indians hero
found their Elysium. Then I
thought of tho changes since li '('. I
when Hudson sailed up the calm
bluo waters and gazed upon the
beautiful scenery for tho first time.
Ho wrote his friends: "This is a
very good land to fall in with. The
land is pleasant with grass aud
llowers ami goodly trees as ever we
havo seen, aud very sweet smells
caino from them."
Civilization has made many
changes but tho grand mountains
remain tho Haine. I cannot describe
tho scenery. Irving, Bayard Tay
lor and others havo given us beauti
ful pen pictures of "our" Hudson.
At Glen's Falls tho river dashes
over tho rocks and here in the mid
dle of tho roarinz stream is tho cave
made famous by Cooper in "Leather
uini,: 'p..i i wX i. ..i
ure oi visiting tuis cave.
Tho historical excursions in the
region of Lake George were full of
interest to me. ISo part of our
country is so rich in romance and
history.
in tne ago oi romance many years
ago, tho poworiul Jroquois nation
reiguod supronio. They called Lake
(Jeorge An diator-octe, ' tho ' tail
a i t tt mi m
oi tue iase. xnese imlians were
so situated that they commanded nil
the water routes, tho natural war-
Saths, between Canada and United
tates They were a terror to all
their savage neighbors. It is said
tho natives New . England used to
tell tho white settlers "Mohog
(Mohawk) all Dovil."
Thus the shores of Lakes George
and Chamnlaiu being tho natural
gateway betwoon two countries,
wero tho silent witnesses of the
most horrible cruelties of warfare
and savagery. First the Indian war
parties in their bark canoes, prac
ticed thoir cruelties. Then by the
French und English in a struggle
for the possession of a countiy. Fin
ally in our own struggle for inde
pendence, Euglaud here tried to cut
her rebellious colonies in twain.
In ono of those early Indian wars
in 1012, Father Jognes, a Jesuit
priest was captured by the Indians
and became the unwilling discover
er of Lake George. He was so im
pressed with its sacred boauty that
ne named it jjao et. nacrament or
"Lake of the Holy Sacrament." I
think that his discovering it on
church holiday (Corpus Christi) had
strongly entrenched at Ft. Ticonder
oga with c nly () miles of placid wa
ter betweeen them. Here they
watched each other a year.
It was dining these years that
Roger's bp.nd," composed of Stark
Putnam and otter hardy fronUer-
men, made itself fntnous for scout
ing expeditions. Many stories are
told of th thrilling adventures of
these men.
In 177 Montcalm laid siege and
captured Ft. William Henry. Coop
er in his "Last of the Mohicians''
has depicted this surrender and the
horrible massacro that followed in a
very entertaining manner. Mont
calm returned to Ft. Ticonderoga
Two attacks were umdo on this Fort
by tho English and Americans. It
was after the first attack that Israel
Putnam was captured by the In
dians and was saved from burning
at a stake by a r rench oiheer. In
175l while General Wolfe took Que
bec, General Amherst drove the
French back to Canada and held
Ticonderoga.
Now there was peace and nuiet on
the shores of the Holy Lake until
the Revolution where Burgoyne cap
tured Ticonderoca by erect intra bat
tery on a mountain commanding the
Fort. All that now remains to the
eager traveler are the ruins of the
Fort and an underground mine lead
ing to the lake shore. I felt well re
paid for this trip to the Fort. Lake
Georze. he.72tned in, by its. ritttpj
ing mountains now his peaceful and
calm and beautiful under the sunny
skies. Many pretty summer hotels
and cottages grace its shores.
I must mention one other trip
which wo all enjoyed. We spent a
day in Saratoga just long enough
to taste the mineral waters aud visit
tho Poiupeiian house. From there
went to Mt. McGregor where Gen
eral Grant fought his last battle.
The cottago with its furniture just
as it was when Grant passed away
is preserved by the G. A. R of New
York.
Tho view from this mountain on a
clear day is very extensive the
Adirondacks on tho, east, Green
mountains on tho west and awuy in
the dim south, tho Calskills with
beautiful glimpses of tho Hudson
here aud there. I shall never for
