REVIEW AT CHICKAMAUGA.
a Military Pageant UncqualIed Since

CHICKAMAUGA NATIONAL PARK.
August 9.-Not since General Sherman
reviewed the Grand Army at the close
OF the civil war has there been such an
imposing and magnificent military
pageant as that witnessed on the his

Forty thousand men passed IN review

time 20 the martial strains OF scorcNof
regimontal bands and field music organi-

ARTEMUS WARDS ARRIVAL II
DENVER.
(From the Denver Times. ]

S. G. Gallup, the pioneer saddle man
of Pueblo, is compendium of early day
stories. He came to Denver in its infant
days, and has clear remembrance OF
many of the old-time freaks OF the wild
West of those days, and real old pioneer
style of telling them. Some years ago
he was around with those who saw the
sights, and one of the number was Ar
temus Ward" (CharIes F. Browne), who
was then lecturing through the West with
a m1rth provoking, two-hour tale or
"Babes in the Woods" Artemus was a
tall, angular, red-haired son of the happy
muse, and when he came to Denver the
settlement of old-timers attended the lee
ture and bestowed upon him every atten-
tion that could be conjured up in the
minds of the hospitsble people. 1t was
no pink tea entertainment. and his re-
ception committee did not quote Brown
ing or drink pale nectar or anything OF
that kind. In those days the real honor
lay in the recesses of the hearts OF peo-
ME that wore diamonds in the rough.
81 shall never forget the peculiar look
the face of the humorist wore when he
arrived in Denver from Salt Lake by
stage. He had stopped at a way-house
edited and operated by a character we
used to call Rocky Thomas. for he
could tangle up aud thsn untangle and
run out more square yards double width,
of genuine profanity than any other fell
low in the West, and there were no noVi-
oes in that line in competition with him,
either. When the stage stopped at
sRocky's' ranch he inquired Of the dr1-
yer: =
/" How many d-n fools you got in
there this tripP
he's so durn pink headed that he KEEP the
stage warm.
HThen Artemus got out and partook OF
the meal and came on to Denver. After
his lecture here he stayed around day
or two just to get the hang of the profan-
ity out here. and used to say that If he
lows in the West had, he would raise the
price of admission to his lectures. In
those days we used to soc all those big
fellows, for they all had desire to know
what sort of place the West really
was"

Five of the commissioners selected by
President Mckinley to Investigate the
war department have declined to serve,
and it looks very much as if the attempt
to make an investigation Through a COM
mission would be failure, through re.
luctance on the part of suitable men to
serve. This is to be regretted, because an
inquiry by men Of national reputation
would command far moro confidence than
an inquiry by Congress, which Will be
open to the suspicion of having political
ends to save.

According to Washington despatch
the President has decided to instruct the
Peace Commission to demand from Spain
the cession of the island of Luzon to the
United States, leaving the other islands
under the sovereignty of Spain, with the
understanding that they shall not be
transferred to any other power without
our consent. While this arrangement will
ensure to US the most valuable of the
Philippines and will satisfy the friends
of permanent occupation for commercial
purposes, we do not see how it is going to
be altogether satisfactory to what Mr..
Dingley calls the conservative religious
sentiment of the country. which has been
| calling for the annexation OF the islands
| that we might bestow upon their people
the blessings of our civilization. The in
| habitants of the other islands need c1vili-
cation as much. and probably more, than
| those of Luzon, Furthermore Spanish
rule has been just as cruel and tyrsnnical
on the other islands as on Luzon, and
their people are just as much entitled to
be, liberated from 1t. From the stand
polnG OF our metUefld1 4uooIOooo oaeAoA
~ the policy of holding Luzon and let
ting the others go is the most profitable
that could be adopted. except perhaps
that of letting them all 60, but from the
standpoint of duty to the people. as it
has been set forth in the religious 10 ur'
nails, 1t seems inconsistent. We have new
er believed, however, that it was the duty
of this government to send our people tt
Mantle to hold Luzon, or any other OF the
| islands in order to assist missionary en-
terprises, most excellent and worthy
though they be. The first duty OF the
i government is to look out for the welfa
of it's own people, and the policy to bt
adopted with reference to the Philippines
should be determined by a regard fol-
their welfare and not by a regard for the
welfare of the Filipinos. II we can serve
others while we serve ourselves, we'll and
/ good, but in the case of a conflict of in
terest between the Filipinos and the PEG
pie of the United States the latter should
have the first call. If the occupation OF
Luzon and the abandonment of the rest
of the islands will best serve our inter
ests, we see no reason why we should
hesitate to adopt it. But it has seemed
to us that in the long run our interests
win be best subserved by the abandon
ment of ali the islands.

Prasidsnt Faure may not have said, as
reported by the London Daily News,
'that it would never do for him to face
the troops at the manoeuyers If coming
from cabinet council which had adopted
revision in the Dyeyfus case, but the
remark undoubtedly correctly indicates
the sentiment of the army, which seems
to hate Dreyfus with SO bitter hatred
that 1t would prefer that he should still
suffer even though his conviction may
have been unjust. With this sentiment
prevailing the chances of Dreyfus getting
any relief from a second trial, though one
be granted him, are very slim.

This year Mr. Reeds majority will be
about $500, Mr.. Dingley's is estimated
at 5000, and Mr.. Boutelle's at 5000
each falling below the majorities of 1896
and 1894 in about the same proportion.
This being so it is difficult to see why
language was used in the despatch cal
culated to give the impression that only
Mr.. Reeds majority showed falling off.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1898-09-14

this would be that the reduction of Mr..
Reeds majority was exceptional, and
that the majorities of the other Con-
gressmen had held up to those of four
wears ago. The fact is that the majorities
of all have fallen off and in just about
the same proportion. The majorities of
Reed, Dingley and Boutelle in 1896 and
1894 were as follows:

No doubt the sensational journals will
be able to find in the returns of the Maine
election a rebuke of "Algerism," and a
crushing condemnation of the administra-
ton for its treatment of the soldiers, and
various other things because they always
are able to find what they want to find,
but the journal that scans the figures
with the purpose to discern what is there
and nothing else, will find simply that
there was an apathetic condition in this
State, arising partly from lack of sharp
issues, and partly from the knowledge
that the result was foregone conclusion,
which cut down the votes of both parties,
that of the Republicans more because
apathy had been at work in the Democratic
partyssfor years past and had cut down the
Democratic vote a third already, while
the Republican vote had held up until
Monday nearly to the party's full
strength. There is nothing in the figure;
that points to any substantial change
in the numerical relation of tine two par
ties to one another. AS the troubles il
the Democratic party this year were muct
less acute than they were in 1894 and 1897
we had expected an increase in its vote
but instead of that this is slight decrease

IN EFFECT JANUARY 2.
Rules of the New Bankruptcy Law
Announced. by the su-
preme Court.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The United
States supreme court through Justice
Gray announced the new bankruptcy
rules which it was authorized to frame
and promulgate under the national
bankruptcy act of July 1, 1898. The
rules have been awaited with much in
terest, as number of courts declined
to proceed with bankruptcy eases until
the supreme court announced the new
rules.
Justice Gray announced that the new
rules would take effect on Monday,
January 2, $780, and that all proceed
ings heretofore taken substantially in
conformity with the act and to the reg
ulations of 1867 as far as practicable
would be upheld. The rules while pro-
mulgated at this time, he said, would
not be ready for distribution for some
time, owing to proof revision, etc.
