Speakers at camp meetings can do
something. perhaps, towards starting the
educational campaign without actually
discussing politics. One serious trouble,
however, ut camp meetings is that while
the preacher is doing good work from the
platform the politician is down in the
woods fixing things with the voters
The result at the election shows which
has been the most powerful talker.

Cirrier pigeons for military service
having proven to be desirable-even
necessary adjuncts to the army in con-
veying messages, experiments have been
made looking to the employment of dogs
for the same purpose. Formerly, these
animals were useful ia attacking the
legs of the horses of the enemy; but the
service the faithful animal is now to rem
der is in reinforcing sentinels. The
hunting dog frs: thought available,
leaves the picket too often, but the shep-
herd dog is much more reliable. Inge-
nuity is being strained to it's utmost to
bring war between civilized nations
down to az exact science, and still the
Pesce Congress hopes for the disarma-
ment of nations.

High Omcers OF the United states Among
Those Involved.

SAN FRANCIsCO, June 10.-The Chronicle
states that a treasury agent visited Mare
island navy yard last week and made GER
tain discoveries which indicate that
large quantity Of dutiable merchandise
has been brought into this country by
several American war vessels which re-
Gently returned from Chinese stations
and that no revenue charges were paid on
it.
The U. s. steamer Omaha arrived few
weeks ago and went to Mare island with
out being inspected by customs officers.
When the treasury agent visited the yard
last il is claimed that he found a large
quantity of silk gowns and costly bric-a-
brac in the officers quarters of the Omaha,
amounting to several thousand dollars in
value Many of these articles were in-
closed in packages ready for shipment to
various eastern points. tits also said that
the entire consignment has been seized by
the customs authorities and submitted to
the appraiser at this port. One silk gown,
it is claimed, has been appraised at nearly
$1,000. The Chronicle states that some Of
the principal officers of the Omaha and
one or two officers OF the Swatara, which
returned from China several months ago,
are concerned in the smuggling and that
action is being taken in the matter by
the navy and treasury departments in
Washington.
