Reply to the Nationality Issue.

To the claim made that the mills
were now employing foreigners, the
court tersely said that there is no dis
tinction in this country in the legal
rights of classes based on race or ma
tionality. and all stand upon an equal
footing in this respect. Foreigners are
no longer treated as outlaws or bar
barians by any civilized nation, and
that if racial distinctions were to be
considered in the case at bar there is
a very beggariy show of Americans or
Anglo-Saxons, and both strikers and
non-strikers are rather a conglomerate
lot of numerous races. United States
Judge Kicks sat on the bench with
Judge Hammond during the reading of
the decision. The strikers attorneys
gave notice that they would enter a
motion to take the case to the United
States circuit court of appeals.

To the suggestion that few acts of
violence have been shown, the judge
said that most potential force or vio
lence may exist without lifting a finger
against any man or uttering a word
of threat against him, and that the plan
of campaign adopted here was a most
substantial exhibition of force by keep
ing always near the mill large bodies of
men, massed and controlled by the lead
ers so as to be used for obstruction if
necessary. A skillful wire drawer, but
a timid man, would be deferred by the
mere knowledge of the fact from going
to the mill when he desired to so, and
had agreed to go; or if already at work
he feared TO return to it through the
streets where the men were congre-
gated or having started would turn
back. fearing the trouble that might
come of the attempt. Such a force is
violence within the fYohibition of the
law, and it's exhibition should be en-
Joined as violating the property rights

"scab," who is entitled to pass freely
through the streets and highways to

to contract in business is a constitu-

not strike organizations, for they surely

All the worlds industries are now so
very intimately connected with each
other that war must affect them all
directly or indirectly. Very many
trades, too, depend upon imports, and
these must be more or less affected by
any war; hut, all things considered, it
would seem that the trade least affect
ed by war would be the liquor trade,
especially in it's less expensive
branches; that is to say, beer, spirits,
etc, of home manufacture, for this is
probably the last direction in which
the masses would economic. The
prices. saving those of imported wines
and spirits, would remain constant,
and the bnlk of trade would be affected
very litth, save probably for larger
consumption induced by national ex-
element. The tobacco trade, too,
would be little affected unless great
tobacco-p-oducing country were at
war. A good example of this is found
in the case of Cuba, where the tobacco
growing industry has been almost
ruined by the rebellion and the war
without its producing any effect to
speak of on the tobacco trade of the
outside world.

A Spanish periodical prints an arti-
Gle on the destruction of the Cervera
fleet, which was evidently written by
an officer on one of the Spanish ships
1t seems that Cervera's orders were
to reach Havana, or, at least, Cienfue-
gos, with as many of his vessels as pos
sible, and to beach the others. The
feet could not leave at night without
buoying the narrow winding channel
by day, and that would have revealed
the plan. 1t was claimed that the best
course was pursued by Cervera, and
that he destroyed every one of his
ships effectually, which he could not
have done in the harbor of Santiago.

obsolete. The war has made it so and
the finger of scorn must not point
again at the chappies who chew gum

the canvas brown and wooden blue of

There is something more than or.
dinarily suggestive in the fact, says
the Atlanta Constitution, that the first
victim of the present war with Spain
should come from the south in the
person of Ensign Bagley, who was SO
richly qualified in every way to illus
trate the south; and, moreover, that
he should come from the state OF
North Carolina, which gave to the war
between the states its first precious
libation in 1861. These condolences
are not mere accidents. Some mys.
FERROUS providence seems to have thus
directed events for the purpose of eff.
fectually obliterating the unpleasant
memories of the past and of making
the whole nation one in comradeship

TESTIMONY OF A DEMOCRAT.
Unparalleled Evidence ms to the
Treatment of Uncle Sans
Soldiers.

The testimony given before the war
investigating committee at Washing
ton by Gen. Fighting Joe" Wheeler is
complete refutation of the charges
made by the yellow journals and DEM
ocratic papers that have been manu-
featuring charges for the sake of Gre

milton. Coming from rock-ribbed
democrat-and one of the southern
kind that seem to have their democ-
racy bred in the bone at that-coming
from the man who was famous leader
of the confederate cavalry in the civil
war and who CALAMITY led the cavalry
division OF the United States troops at
Santiago, and coming from a man who
was born and raised fighter and SOL

ocratc press that his testimony is
"whitewash." His evidence may be
summarized as follows:

The United States weather bureau
is about to make the experiment of
following the course of storms and
cold waves, from the Rocky mountains
TO the Alleghanies, at an altitude of a
mile from the earth's surface. This is
TO be accomplished by means of Sc
RES of Is or 20 high-level observing
stations. By means of simultaneous
observations made at these stations
it is hoped that important facts may
be developed. At the height of mile
the diurnal variations of temperature,
felt at the earth's surface, practically
disappear, and The progress of a storm
at that elevation is free from the dis
tracing elements introduced by local

A hint for those interested in the fu-
ture development of commerce on the
Mississippi is found in the two immense
wheat ships under construction on the
lakes. One is 476 feet long and of 10, 500
tons burden. Another, a whaleback, is
AGO feet long, and will carry a cargo
of 100000 bushels of wheat, the product
of 1900 acres of land. Such facilities

A Grand Old Woman.

Miss Clara Barton, who is still ex-
tremely active in works of philan-
thropy, is a remarkable woman. She
was born at Oxford, Mass, in 1890, and
is now 6s. She resigned government
clerkship early in the civil war to be-
come an army nurse, and in 1864 was
placed in charge of the hospitals of the
Army of the James. In the Franco
German war she assisted in organic
ing tie military hospitals. She la
bored among the poor of Strasburg in
1871 and of Paris in 1872. The Ameri-
can Red Cross society was organized
by her in 1881, and she became it's pres
ident. The year 1883 found her super
intendent of reformatory prison for
women in Massachusetts,. Her labors
in 1884 were devoted TO the Mississippi
food sufferers, and in 1893 to reliev-
ing the victims of cyclone ON the
South Atlantic coast. Not long ago
she wrote from Santiago: ut is over
month now that l have been Lying
on the ground out of doors, having
passed through a siege of yellow fever

Admiral Cervera states in his official
report on the destruction of his ships
that the preparedness of our feet was
fatal to his plans. This readiness was
based on the most vigilant work in the
fire rooms. An officer connected with
the engineer corps of the battleship
Texas says the standing orders were
to be able to go ahead at full speed at
a moments notice, which required the
utmost care in watching the fires and
turning the engines occasionally to free
them from water. But this long strain
was rewarded when the general alarm
sounded on July 3, and the engines Of
the fleet soon worked at their maxi
mum. The temperature in the lower
engine rooms of the Texas was 1856
degrees, and in the upper 100 degrees.
When naval heroism and effectiveness
are the theme, the men below decks
deserve full share of consideration.

HARVEY AS MANAGER.
The Great Exponent of Cheap Money
Gets a Chance 10 Work
His GAIT.

"Coin" Harvey's appointment as
"Tanager OF the silver democratic
party" does not meet with that chorus
of joy from the party generally that
might have been expected. The local
leaders particularly do not approve.
and 1t dazes them as much as the "or-
phan dodger' did. That "dodger" con-
tanned nothing but what they professed
to believe and to which they had over
and over set their hands, but they new
ertheless repudiated it because it was
| unofficial.
Now they have an official act by the
very highest moguls of the party that
compels them to swallow the 'dodger,"
and they growl again. Curses not loud
| but deep penetrate their discourse. for.
as one of the candidates said: Here
we have been straining every nerve to
get the gold democrats into line and
have succeeded, and along comes this
blunder and promises to upset every
thing.
"There is only one thing more needed
to put us in prime condition for de-
feat" said another, in vein of satire.
1--WE ougst to have Gen. Coxey appoint
ed assistant general manager" Har'
vey and CoXey would make very at
tractive and stylish team, and the way
they would pull subscriptions out OF
the pockets of the gold democrats
would be great instruction to all po'
litical beggars!"
Still more important considerations
however. seem to puzzle the heads OF
some of the local silver democrats
They themselves are mo slouches
use their own elegant style of speech
at political finance, but there are two
things about this move they would
like to understand. How does it come
that Harvey was all cooked and primed
to spring his plan of financiering the
party at the very moment he was noti
fled of his appointment; and second
and most important what is going tt
be his "rake OFF," He is laying plans t.
raise $2,0000O0 in the next two years
and If ten per cent. of it--a very mod
crate compensation, indeed-goes into
his own pocket, there are envious demo
Gratis who think he has pretty sof
thing. and he will have if he raises thu
$2,CO0,000.
There are those, too, who think, ant
with some reason, that the dollar sub
scription business is only cheap blind
and the money will come, if it comes a
all. from the men who produce silve
and are financially interested in its FREE
and unlimited coinage. Now that w
have bankruptcy law. it seems clea
enough that nobody wants even cheal
silver with which to pay his debts, s.
that none but silver mine owners ar
really concerned about free coinage
AS for the rank and file of the demo
cratic party. why should they give
dollar a month to cause which II sue

quite half of it for her board and lodg-
