delight in talking TO young soldiers,
especially when he is not recognized.
One day a Lancashire recruit was post

tiers. One of the servants gave him
something to eat. A moment later n
short, elderly man, attired in tweed
suit and CATERS, with his billycock
tilted over his eyes. came up.

sentry.
"oh, belong here" said the stranger.

The general turned away to hide a
smile he could not repress at the sen

his inspection. the general said he had
met men at different times and places
who failed to recognize him, and hoped
it would not occur in the future. Our

severely punished, was heard to say:

Gifts to fool the Public.

The cnndemnirg of alum as an I'M

UVAW AbuSc
New York.-A Washington special says:
"The leaders of the new silver party are
said to be laying plans for the attempted
conversion of the labor elements of the
east to the free silver doctrine. They are
accredited with expressing an opinion
that the unrest and dissatisfaction among
the labor classes can be utilized to excel
lent advantage in furthering their plans.
An outline of their intentions contains a
statement that they will charge that much
of the trouble of the laboring classes is
due to what they term a contracted cur
rency, and to monopoly supported by
the gold bugs. The socialistic classes
will be arrayed against the gold standard
being Synonymous with capital and mo-
nopoly. Wall street and the. .Rothschilds
are set up as the bug bear of working
men, responsible for all their ills, and the
free coinage of silver and an enlarged
circulating medium will be suggested as
the only cures for existing troubles.
Hundreds of books and pamphlets pre-
senting the silver question are being cir
culated throughout the country.
Every time an eastern man makes dec-
larasion in favor of free silver coinage
the promoters of the new party seize up
on it eagerly and give it the widest circu-
lation. On the other hand the assertion
of Senator Sherman that free coinage
will result in the most tremendous panic
this country has ever known, and would
paralyze business and trade beyond any
thing ever known by any nation in the
world, is hooted at as merely being the
rawlings of gold bug.

Gen. CampOs, the New Commander in
Chief, will Pursue ConciliatOry
COurse-FavOrs Home Rule.

Washington, April 1O.-The policy of
Gen. Martinez Campos, Spanish COM
mander in chief, en- route to Cuba for a
decisive stroke against the revolution, is
made known in copies of the proceedings
of the Spanish congress just received
here. On the night before Campos sailed,
both he and the minister of foreign af-
fairs addressed the cortes. The signif-
canoe Of Gen. Campo's speech lay in Its
conciliatory tone, showing that his pur-
pose was to avoid bloodshed. It was
also brought out while he wonld keep
FREQ from party entanglements in Cuba,
he would be strongly inclined toward the
autonomists, or conservative element,
and depend on them to resist separation
from Spain. 1t is judged from Gen.
Campo's speech that he will take middle
course on home rule without entire sep
aration from tho mother country.
Fernandina, Fla, April l0.-There is
great enthusiasm here over the prospect
