TALK OF The ARMY MULE

Capt. II. b. Sudiow Responds to To,st 1t
the Second Cavalry Reunion.
Capt Ii. b. Sudlow, OF this city.
was elected a member Of the e.ecu-
tive committee OF the Second Iowa
cavalry at the reunion az Daven port
yesterday. At the banquet in COZ
nection with the reunion last night,
Capt. Sudlow responded to the toast.
1.-The Quartermaster and His Mule. ="
THE sentiment, The Quartermaster
and His Mule TO which l am called
to respond" said the speaker.
"bripgs me face to face with a queer
companionship, that OF the army
mule, and have great respect for
my partner and shall treat him with
consideration. and try and sustain
his reputation as an ever faithful
ally Of the 'Uniop soldier" The
speaker related the multitude of du-
tics Of the quartermaster, and re.
called some ne was sometimes called
on to perform. The brevet horse
was recalled in his function OF
mounting the brevet cavalrymen.
He concluded with the following
story: my friend, Col. Horton, had
one mule for which he was RESPONSE
BILE in his property account. One
day on the march the mule gave
up the ghost and Horton squared
his account by reporting him
lost. Lost in action but the
mule turned up in camp the
next day and Horton greeted
| him as one from the dead. On the
next raid the mule again got tired
and laid down, and Ecrtsn again
thought him dead, and sgain re-
ported him, '.lost in action" blu. in
the course of couple of days dar.
key rode into camp on this mule
which had been killed twice in bat
tie. Finally he died the third time
but this time in camp. Gen. Hatch
| called the colonel in and said, Now
Charlie, want that mule buried
this time. We cannot afford to have
him accounted for as killed in bat
tle' more than three times. He would
be too much Of patriot In con-
clusion l must say that while the
'Quartermas er and his Mule were
both non-com batants, both did theil
duty in their particular field and
must share the honor with you Of
having saved this great and gloriou:

a Hostile Feeling.

LONDON, Eng, Sept. N.-The St..
James Gazette this afternoon says:
at is quite clear that no concession
that we can make and no display,
however sincere, of our wish to be
friendly has availed one jot to dis
arm the bitter hostility of those
Americans who are always ready for
aggressive action. Neither is there
a shred of evidence to show that the
cold, passive dislike which so many
Americans, who are friendly enough
to the individual Englishman, feel
for the British Government has
been warmed in the slightest degree"
Recalling ex-Secretary Olney's
dictum that all connection between
European and an American state
is in itself unnatural, the st. James
Gazette adds: "That some such
doctrine is working in America is

Betrayed by "christians."

What the Call has said of Hawaii
is crystalized in proof by the recent
events on the islands. For the next
election under the Dole Government
there appear just $500 voters, of
whom 1000 are members of Dole's
military guard; 1,200 are members Of
his Government and his employees;
200 on Dole's police, and 400 may be
called citizens. These represent
the annexation strength. 1t is up
held by the constant threat OF the
naval power OF the United States;
that power which protected and
perfected the revolution which pre-
coded the present oligarehy. AS a
background to this small number of
agents of our conquest stand tens Of
thousands OF protesting natives.
They have met in the churches built
by their brown hands in honor OF
our God of Justice, who notes the
sparrow's fall, to whom we taught
them to pray, and after invoking
him have raised their pitiful cry Of
patriotism for the freedom and in
dependence OF their country.
History is being made in this
great matter. We are sending mis-
sionaries to the Confucian, the
Shintoist, the Buddhist and Maho-
metan. We are asking them to
transfer their spiritual allegiance to
the God of Abraham, to accept the
precepts of the New Testament and
to read a new moral code 10 the SER
mon on the mount
After what has happened in Ha-
waii, where we put into the mouths
of the people new song, if we take
their country against their protest
and govern them without their con-
sent, what answer have we to the
charge that we use Christianity as a
stalking horse and that willing
change of spiritual allegiance by a
non Christian people means our
forcible seizure of their civil sover-
eighty.
England completed her military
conquest of India at the battle of
Plassey, but she did not precede it
by parading the cross and Offering
the sacrament. The Mahometan
conquerors carried the Koran with
the sword, and, if the Prophet were
accepted, the nations were left with
their sovereignty undisturbed.
We are writing new chapter in
history, and should desist from fur.
ther missionary effort if we take
sovereignty of Hawaii against the
protest of the natives we have
Christianized.
These may be called sentimental
considerations, but what other have
we urged against England and Spain
and Turkey? Since our oonstruc-
ton of the Monroe doctrine has
practically gone into international
law, no old-world sovereignty can
get a foothold within the Monroe
hemisphere, which includes Hawaii.
Do we intend to say to the world
that we now propose to seize the
small nations within that hemi-
sphere without consulting the
nativesi If so we stand as having
first isolated them, in order that
cry for help will have no response.
The material advantage we may
gain is apparent and not real. We
have prospered under continental
policy, which was declared by the
makers of our constitution. To
fling that policy and justice and
mercy 10 the winds together is a
change that bodies no goods. r.

A SENATOR IN QUARANTINE.
Nelson's Efforts to Liberate Him
Have So Far Failed

WASHINGTON, Oct 11-Senator
Nelson has been telegraphing the treas
ury department to send a revenue cut
ter to the rescue of Senator Caffrey. of
Louisiana, who is in quarantine at
Franklin, in that state. The matter
was referred to Capt. Shoemaker chief
of the revenue cutter service, but moth
ing could be done. In the first place,
there is no vessel available and if any
of the old cutters, now in use, were
available, the present stage of the
water would not permit sending them
up the river to Franklin.
Caffrey is a member of the special
commission of senators, appointed by
Vice President Hobart, to investigate
the causes of the oVerflOws in the Red
river and upper and lower Mississippi
regions. The commission wanted to get
started this week, but Senator Caffrey
cannot be released from the present
feVer-infected district0 ST. Paul will
be the starting point of the special
committee incidentally the failure of
the government to comply with Sena-
tor Nelson's request may be productive
of some needed legislation on the ques-
ton of a better revenue cutter service
Congress has been making large ap-
preparations for the navy department
to build war ships and torpedo boats,
but is neglecting the urgent needs of
the business interests of the country in
