There was dramatic separation on
the field near Corsicana, Tex. There
still remained with Shelby 600 bold
troopers. and they had an abundant
supply of arms, ammunition and sup
plies. They determined to march into
Mexico and become soldiers of fortune
with Juarez or Maximilian. They
disciplined band. Shelby was urged to
sieze the money in the Confederate
treasury at San Antonio for his SOL
diers, but he was not Il plunderer and
hesitated Texas bandits carried off
the treasure before he could reach San
Antonio to protect it as he had protect.
ed public funds in Austin. Many exiles
were awaiting Shelby at San Antonio.
From San Antonio Shelby led his
band under military discipline to New
Braunfels and thence to Eagle Pass
on the Rio Grande. Crossing to Piedras
Nagras, the fugitives sold the cannon
the arms, the ammunition, and the &C.
couterments to the supporters of Juarez
for $4,000, which was divided pro rata
among officers and men. Several shrewG
Germans attempted to take advantage
of Mexican law and seize all of Shell
by's horses having Mexican brands, anC
the treacherous Mexican soldiers sup
ported them in the scheme. Shelb.
promptly sounded the call to mount
horses, and the 500 American veterans
only awaited the word to begin q
slaughter. The Germans fled and the
Mexicans wilted.
Shelby took vote of his officers to
determine whether they would casi
their fortunes with Juarez, the Mexican
patriot, or with Maximilian, the emper,
or sent to Mexico by Napoleon. They
voted for MaXimillian, but he declined

battle-scarred flag in the waters of the
Rio Grande with fearful ceremonies
and started for Monterey to join the
French legions. At Monterey the com.
mand disbanded. Some went 10 SOno

went to California, British Honduras or
Brazil Shelby and Il trusty band of
fifty went to the City of Mexico and
then settled in the COrdova colony of

ure and Shelby returned to Missouri to
the peaceful pursuits of the farm. He
was the owner of several of the most
valuable farms in the State.

ONE FALSE ISSUE REMOVED.

Many silver Republicans voted for
Mckinley because of the pledge i'll the
platform in favor of international bi-
metallism. These voters now see that
this pledge was simply dodge to fool
the people.
None of the Republican leaders is de-
sirous of establishing bimetallism, eth
er through national or international ac-
ton. All of these leaders knew that.
so long as the settlement Of information
al bimetallism rested in the hands OF
England, the policy of gold monometal-
lism was safe, and for this reason they
inserted the plank referred to, believ-
ing that it would catch votes and thus
In reality make the gold monetary sys-
tenn all the more secure.
The Republican press realizes that
the International bimetallism dodge has
been played for the last time. 1t has
served its purpose for a quarter of a
century and is now completely worn
out and discredited. No longer will
this bait be used to catch gudgeons,
not because there is any change in the
ethics of the gold clique, but because
the leaders recognize that the trick has
lost its attraction. Now the fight is to
be made sQuarely on the issue of gold'
and the people should hail this change
of front as an omen of victory.
The sentiment in favor of bimetai
lism is growing stronger every day in
the United States. But for bribery, in
timidation and false promises on the
part of Republicans the people would
have Won in the last presidential cam
paigu. Now that the issue has been
made plain; that falsehoods have been
exposed; that international bimetal'
lism has been shown in its true light,
the people will flock to the support oil
that party which has their interests at
heart. and will, by their united votes
in 1898 and 1900, establish national
and thus restore the pros
perity that was destroyed by the de-
Of silver.

Concerning Pensions.

Men who went forth to battle for
the Union and who received wounds
in the cause of liberty are deserving
of recognition and compensation from
this government. There Is none VINO
desire to detract from the glory of the
veteran, nor are there any who wish to
deprive him of such governmental as
sistance as his deeds d erve. but the
matter of pensions has attained such
dimensions that it demands investiga-
ton.
On June 30 of the present year the
number of pensioners was 9S3,52S.
Thus the United States is shown to
have one of the largest Of the standing
armies of the world. The million mark
will soon be reached. In order to learn
how this item of expenditure has
grown 1t is only necessary to glance at

A noted physic an has met with

Roofs were blown off, trees leveled by

smoke-stacks laid low, telephone and
telegraph wires wrecked, and innumera-

city.
From all parts of the county comes the
report that orchards have suffered untold
loss. Apples, pears, and fruit of all kind
are on the ground, and in many places
the trees themselves are totally destroyed.

Mr.. Harp says that when he left Shang-

thought that there will be any war be-

Should such war break out, said Mr..
Harp, the Japanese could not hope to
succeed against great country like the
United States, as the finances of the
former would soon give out. The Japan
ese are brave and they have good navy.
At first they might win few battles, but
they would before long have to yield be-

States would enable them to maintain.
