Munitions of War.

Capt. Schmid has made apph-
cation for 35 new uniforms for
the Brennan Field Artillery, to
which the company is entitled.
In addition to the new uniforms
the company gets full equip
ment of side arms, the new
model 38 calibre pistols and short
knives with the blade on one
edge and a saw on the other for
cutting underbrush, ETC., when
the company is on the march
across country, in case they ever
are. The pair of new rifle guns
captured at the San Antonio drill
have already been ordered by
Adjutant General Mabry from
the United States arsenal and
will be shipped at an early date.
THE ladies of the Methodist
church undertook to feed the cir

get double their moneys worth.
Such was the case on this oc-
casion. The dinner served for
twenty five cents was worth a
half-dollar, and would have cost
that amount elsewhere.

SENATOR TIIl.NHAN.

The course of Senator Tillman
has been watched with the kecnest
interest since his celebrated pitch-
fork speech in the Senate. The
eyes Of the nation have becn upon
him and he never fails to get at
tention when he addresses his
brethren in tho Senate. It Is
gratifying to his frionds and sup
porters that there is merit in him
and that even his political enc
mics in this State SEQ and acknowl-
edge it. LatcI v his remarks have
beon endorsed by tho good pc oplt
of this country and his position
upon public questions have been,
admitted by all to be proper and
correct.
The Senate having undor con
sideration the Allen resolution tC
bring Elvarton II. Chapman be,
fore the bar of tho Senate, Sen a.
tor Tillman made an interesting
speech and referred to the reports
that Senators had within the last
week sp,culatcd in sugar stock
Senator Tillman said:
"It seems to mo, that wo arc
not after Chapman; tho original
Investigation was not intended to
punish Chapman, but to discover
whethor any Senator on this floor
had boon guilty Of using his Off
cial positi m to make money by
speculation in stocks which wore
influenced by his action as Soma
tor or tho committee which re.
ported the tariff bill. 1t is not
worth while to try to cover up
this matter with badinago and
flippancy. The Senator from Now
Hampshire Will excuse me. / do
not intend that as any reflection
upon his language, but it does ap-
pear to mo that he treated it rath~
er aippar tly.
"Thefo are today in the newspa-
pers of this country charges float
ing about and being sent broad
cast, signed by correspondents in

and instead of it being differen-
tial in favor Of the trust of third
Of Il cent, as that was, it is now
two-thirds in favor Of the trust.
"Thero are two correspondents
who have, over their own sigma
lures, charged that Senators have

aud made money. Now, if you
want to investigate, you have a
new reason to investigate. If YOU
intend to got at the truo inward
moss of the matter, to got at the

and substance of It. We do not
want Chapman. Wo want llavo-
mo!er We want the man who
bought your mon, if they wore

for; and now let the Senator who
has moved to refer the matter, and
who loves tho dignity of tho Sen
alto rs much as any othor man,
take the resolution to his commit
too and bring back a measure here
that will mean something. We
can now mako those men who

INVESTIGATE

Ever since the Inauguration O
tho dispensary system thore have
been.vague rumors and insinua.
tion of rottcnness and corruption.
There arc somo honest Rcformcrs
and they are getting tired Of such
talk and do not wish to be classcd
with rascals and thieves. They
Will willingly assist in ferrcting
out crime IN high places and in
relegating to tho shades Of private
life or the ponltcntiary all guilty
of high crimos and misdemcanors.
The dispcnsary has bccn invcsti-
gated and no report satisfactory
to somo has boon made and hints
of a white wash have been made by
very respectable people. Tho citi-
zens of tho counties bordering on
North Carolina are not in posi-
tiOn to be acquainted with all the
work and manruvroS at tho Stat"
capitol and must take their intor-
nation second hand, So thny arc
at a loss how to reconcile conflict
ing reports and OPINIONS about in-
vestigating committees and officers
of the court, whose duty it is to
bring to light official misconduct
and corruption.
It is the duty of tho Governor
to SEQ that the law is executed and
it is evident that he has brcn
bending his energies in that di-
rection, but not with satisfaction
to some people. 1t may mover
havo occurred to those who criti-
cised him that if they had offered |
thoir assistance and given the in
formation, which th,y so,m to
have, the result may have hc' ! the
conviction and punishment Of the
guilty or a complete vindication
Of the persons under clouds Of
doubt and suspicion.
Now the idea is for the grum-
blers to corao forward and aid in
the publication Of State affairs
and specify the grounds of tho
reason of the faith in them, and
all honest men regardless OF fac
tion will endorse their praisewor-
thy efforts.
If that can't be dono, then be
quiet and satisfied with the ordi-
nary course Of events.

The New osklawaha.

i e Ocklawaha, once the most pic
tnr que stream in Florida, is being
rap ily denuded of its forest of males
tice, press trees. Not less than a dozen
pulling machines are stationed along
its course drawing into the water from
40 10 rs logs each, daily. These
machines extend their cables from the
river TO the hills on either side and do
not leave q cypress tree standing.
When the timber Is exhausted at one
point they move up ordown the stream
to new fields, 1t is only matter of a
few years when there will not be a
cypress tree left upon the whole length
Of the river. The wild scenery that has
been 30 much admired By our winter
g:silors will only have left the clusters
I. + palmetto trees and the numerous
ankle Of magnolias and underground,
