QUESTIONS OF AMMUNITION.

Similarity Between the Wise Commander
and the Provident Housewife.
1t is clearly merely truism to assert
that guns, unless they have shells and
powder, are of no more value to an
army than market carts. To feed the
voracious appetite of a great line of
batteries belching forth she'll and
shrapnel is almost as arduous task as
to insure their accuracy of aim or their
correctness of movement into position.
To find them in projectiles is a part of
the science of war as necessary and as
difficult as to obtain food for the men
or fodder for the horses.
A carefully planned and accurately
working scheme of supply has to be
arranged behind the fighting line, the
closest connection between consumer
and producer has to be established.
and the caterer of bullets is every whit
as indispensable as the caterer of bread.
To keep the stream of plenty flowing
without check through the various
channels it is necessary that officers
should be fam liar with their size, ex-
tent and construction, that each should
have ocular demonstration of the acci-
dents and obstacles that are sure to
intervene, and practical experience of
the best means of obviating or over.
coming them
The commander who directs and en-
courages the hot fire in front must
keep a watchful eye on the ammu-
milton columns behind, like the provi-
dent housewife who, while pressing
hospitality on her guest In the dining
room, does not leave the state of the
larder out of her calculations.-Satur-

Antiquity Of Butter.

Butter, which is almost indispensable
to the meal nowadays, was formerly
used solely as an ointment. Herodotus,
a Greek historian. il the first writer
who mentions butter, b. C. 500. The
Spartans treated it very much the same
as we do cold cream or vaseline, and
Plutarch tells how q hostess was sick
sned at the sight of one of her visitors,
a Spartan, who was saturated in but
ter. The Scythians introduced the ar
ticle to the Greeks and the Germans
showed the Rom ans how to make 1t.
But the latter did not use it for food.
They, like the Spartans. anointed thei.
bodies with it.-N. Y. Sun.

THE SPIRIT OF REVOLT.

THE SPIRIT OF REVOLT.
The old party papers are kept very
busy just now Oriticising the actions
and words of those who have the cour-
age TO demonstrate against usurpation
and wrong. When Cleveland arbitrar-
lily set aside the Geary Chinese law and
asked Gov. Pennoyer Of Oregon to help
him suppress the indignation of the
people, If it should break out into open
revolt, and received the curt reply TO
attend to his own bus ness, the pluto.
cratic press INDUCED in much adverse
criticism OF Gov. Pennoyer. Later
Gov. Altgeld Of Illinois was the sub.
ject Of their wrath. Before they had
fairly got through with the man who
invoked their shafts of criticism be-
cause he pardoned out of prison three
innocent men, Gov. Waite of Colorado
draws their fire in his direction. The
governors offense is a grave one. He
has presumed to make, publicly, DELHI
erately, premeditatedly. a patriotic
address. In that address he made use
OF the following expression: IF the
money power shall attempt to sustain
It's usurpation by the strong hand of
the law, we shall meet that issue
when it is thrust upon us. for.
it Is better infinitely that blood
should flow TO the horses brides
rather than our national liberties be
destroyed" For this expression Gov
waite is being severely roasted by the
plutocratic press. Now, we say, let
the heather rage" We indorse every.
thing said by Gov. Waite. OF course
Gov. Waite's speech was fgurative, to
some extent He did not mean that
the blood should be three or four feet
deep. There would not be enough Of
1t for that What he did mean was
that it was better that blood should
How, and flow freely, than that our
liberties should be lost. That Is inst
what we say. That is what every
fatriot would say. A man that don't
indorse that kind Of patriotism
is coward and traitor. 1t may DO
question in the minds OF some as TO
whether the usurpation of the money
power threatens our liberties to the
extent Of making the blood fow, but
we are not discussing that Gov. Waite
believes it and so do we. So do thou.
sands of Others. No one wants Il. But
no one who Is patriot wants to lose
their liberty. Our independence Is en-.
dangered more now by the tyranny of
Great Britain than 1t VIZ in l776, when
Patrick Henry gave expression to such
sentiment as that Of Gov. Waite, for
which he was cheered by the patrio.
and cursed by the tory. The spirit of
revolt is rife in the land The people
have been deceived, swindled and
robbed long enough. Men will fight
for their liberties and their homes
The money power had as well be given
to understand that they must not per-
sist In their course. That there "a
danger ahead and lots Of 1t, too We
are glad that Gov. Waite uttered the
warning to them, for they are too far
removed from the people TO receive 1.
from that source. We fear there Is
trouble ahead. Greed seldom has any
bounds, and in this case it is greed
against American independence.
